Kelly Clarkson postpones Las Vegas residency dates because of ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's illness
People in entertainment Relationships FacebookTweetLink Kelly Clarkson has announced she is postponing the rest of her Las Vegas residency to be 'fully present' for her children while her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock battles an undisclosed illness. The singer and daytime talk show host posted a statement on her verified Instagram account writing, 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas.' A post shared by Kelly Clarkson (@kellyclarkson) 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' Clarkson wrote. 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.' No information about the illness was provided. CNN has reached out to Blackstone for comment. Clarkson had been set to kick off an 18-date new residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in July but delayed the start, citing vocal issues. She performed the first show a week later. The residency was set to take place through November 15. The couple share a daughter, River, born in 2014, and a son, Remington, known as Remy, born in 2016. Clarkson and Blackstock met at Super Bowl XLVI in February 2012 and married the following year. Seven years later Clarkson filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences.' She and Blackstone, who had served as her manager, settled their contentious divorce in 2022 with Clarkson having to make a one-time payment of $1.3 million as well as paying her ex $115,000 in monthly spousal support until January 31, 2024 and a monthly child support payment of $45,601.

JBL Bar 9.1 Channel Soundbar System Costs Less Than Prime Day, Feels Like a Black Friday Steal
Turning a living room into a place where movies feel bigger and game nights sound alive usually means more than a TV's tiny speakers can manage. The JBL Bar 9.1 – Channel Soundbar System with Surround Speakers and Dolby Atmos is built for that jump. It brings real surround sound into the room, fills out the low end, and adds overhead effects that make rain feel like it is falling around you. If your shows and sports have been sounding a little flat, this system is a major step up without turning your space into a maze of gear. Head over to Amazon to get the JBL Bar 9.1 – Channel Soundbar System with Surround Speakers and Dolby Atmos for just $700, down from its usual price of $1,200. That's a discount of $500 and 42% off. See at Amazon Setup is refreshingly simple. Slide the soundbar under the TV, place the wireless subwoofer by a wall, and set the two rear speakers behind the couch. The rears are battery powered and detach from the main bar, so you can pop them on a shelf for movie night and dock them to charge when you are done. No wires across the floor is a win for families, pets, and tidy living rooms. Once everything is in place, the sound shifts from 'coming from the TV' to 'coming from the room.' Dialog gets the clear center it needs, and effects spread wide so action scenes feel active. Dolby Atmos support adds height to the mix. Helicopters seem to pass overhead, stadium noise rolls in from all sides, and quiet details stay easy to hear at normal volume. The subwoofer brings punch without boom, so drum hits and thunder land with a satisfying thump that does not drown out voices. Everyday use is friendly. A quick calibration listens to your room and dials in the balance in a minute. HDMI eARC keeps setup to a single cable for most modern TVs, and the bar automatically switches inputs when you turn on a game console or streaming box. For music, you can send playlists straight from a phone with Bluetooth, or use built in casting to play from favorite apps without extra steps. The remote is straightforward, and basic controls on the bar handle volume and source when the clicker goes missing. If you have been waiting to upgrade from thin TV audio to theater style sound without a complicated receiver, this package hits the sweet spot for simplicity and impact. The JBL Bar 9.1 – Channel Soundbar System with Surround Speakers and Dolby Atmos is still available for $700 at Amazon, a strong savings compared with its regular $1,200 price. See at Amazon
