Groom and His Dog Share Special 'Father-Dogter' Dance at Wedding (Exclusive)

The groom's pet Australian shepherd, Murphy, "loves attention and loves people, so she was grinning from ear to ear," the groom tells PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW Instead of a traditional father-daughter dance, a groom named Michael had a "father-dogter" dance with his pet Australian shepherd, Murphy "Murphy loves attention and loves people, so she was grinning from ear to ear just enjoying everyone watching her," Michael tells PEOPLE The dance was to the tune of Phil Collins' "You'll Be in My Heart," the same song Michael selected for his American Idol audition in 2020 Instead of a traditional wedding father-daughter dance, one groom had a "father-dogter" dance with his pet dog. Lauren and Michael tied the knot on July 29, 2023, with their beloved Australian shepherd, Murphy, in attendance. In honor of their second wedding anniversary this year, the couple recently reposted clips from Michael and Murphy's wedding dance on the pup's Instagram page. The DJ encouraged guests to gather around the checkered dance floor by announcing, "It is time for the father-dogter dance." As Michael picked up Murphy into his arms, wedding guests laughed in the background. The pair happily swayed to "You'll Be in My Heart" by Phil Collins. For their grand move, Michael lifted Murphy up into the air, causing everyone to cheer. "We love Murphy. She's our best friend, part of the family and everything, so we knew we wanted to incorporate her in our big day," Michael tells PEOPLE. While most couples incorporate their dog into their wedding through signature cocktails or decorations, Michael and Lauren wanted to do something more "special" and "unique." "Murphy's at that perfect small-medium size, where I can still pick her up and kind of move around," Michael explains. "I dance around with her a lot in the apartment, just one of our goofy little things, so we had this idea of maybe doing a father-dogter dance." The dance went perfectly. "Everyone sort of huddled around us, and it's funny, Murphy loves attention and loves people, so she was grinning from ear to ear just enjoying everyone watching her," Michael remembers. "It was super fun." For their dance song, Michael chose "You'll Be in My Heart," which was played in the 1999 Disney animated feature Tarzan, because "it's about the bond between a parent and a kid, even across different species." He also used this "human interest angle" for his American Idol audition in 2020, which was a "big punishment" assigned to him by his friends after he lost his fantasy football league. During the audition, which was virtual that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Murphy made an onscreen appearance. "I was like, 'I recently got this puppy, and she's changed my world, taught me that you got to go for your moment and seize the day when you can,' " Michael says, noting that he did not move on to the next round of auditions. A video compilation posted on Instagram shows Michael and Murphy practicing their dance lift over time. "The lift they practiced for three years..." Lauren wrote in an onscreen text overlay, adding in the caption, "To this day Murphy still thinks she's the one who married him!" "I didn't realize, that I would be doing a little moment on my wedding day, but when we decided it, I already kind of knew my beats," Michael tells PEOPLE. "I had lifted her in that position countless times before." "He got her comfortable with it," Lauren adds. "I feel like a lot of dogs are less comfortable with A) that much attention or B) with, like, being carried, but Murphy was pretty used to it at that point. I honestly think their father-daughter dance was better than my and Michael's first dance." Murphy joined her owners as they were getting ready the morning of their wedding. A dog chaperone took care of her for the remainder of the day. "It was really special," Lauren says. "I think it was a memory that we'll cherish forever. It was nice to have all of our people, including Murphy, there with us. It was really sweet even to see people who have never met her before get to meet her in person at the wedding, and see why she meant so much to us."

Lauren and Michael adopted Murphy, now 5, in August 2020. The night before the couple picked up their new pet, they watched Interstellar. In the sci-fi film, Murphy's Law is reinterpreted not as "anything that can go wrong will go wrong," but as "whatever can happen, will happen." With Lauren always having wanted a dog, and it finally happening, she thought of the Australian shepherd as a "Murphy's Law dog." Despite Murphy traditionally being a male name, the couple felt it was a fitting name for their new pet. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

'Big Brother' host Julie Chen Moonves reacts to Zach's big blunder (exclusive)

The Chenbot also names her choice in punishment costumes. Each week, Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves will weigh in on the latest events inside the house exclusively with Entertainment Weekly. This week, she reacts to Zach not using his power that could have kept him safe, Keanu's slow and steady competition approach, Mickey's power play, and the Veto punishment costumes. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Julie, Zach could have taken himself off the bock by giving up his $10,000, and said he didn't do it because he did not want another player who did not even vote for him to stay to have to go on the block in his place. Thoughts? JULIE CHEN MOONVES: This shows how in the BB house you truly never know who your friends are! This is a classic example of what getting blindsided in the game means! Keanu seems to be moving slow in some of these competitions, and then goes and wins anyway. What is going on with that guy? He is a thinker and a strategizer! Grace under fire. He doesn't panic and he thinks every step through. He's methodical. He's a D&D Master. And it shows! Mickey told Ashley she could control the vote this week. Who do think holds the most power in the house right now? I think Vince. This guy has the majority of the house under his spell. He has the gift of gab and making people feel safe with him and like they can trust him. Finally, if forced to choose one outfit to wear for the week, would you go for the BUTT-ler or the Hard Boiled Detective? Ha! That's an over-easy choice! The egg-cellent egg costume, of course. It looks way more comfortable, no serving and cooking involved, and easier to sit in. Plus, it looks cozy. You can take a nap in it. Also, no worries about how much you want to eat. Makes elastic waistbands look like child's play! Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Brandon Blackstock, Music Manager & Kelly Clarkson's Ex-Husband, Dead at 48

Brandon Blackstock, the Nashville music manager who was married to Kelly Clarkson for seven years, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 48. Starstruck Entertainment, the company for which Blackstock worked for many years, shared the news via an Instagram statement on Thursday (Aug. 7). 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away,' it read. More from Billboard Kelly Clarkson Postpones August Las Vegas Residency Dates Kelly Clarkson & Ex-Husband Brandon Blackstock Settle Management Fees Lawsuit: Report Gone But Not Forgotten: Musicians We Lost in 2025 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years,' the message continued. 'He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' The news comes just one day after The Voice coach announced that she would be postponing her August residency shows in Las Vegas so that she could be with her kids during a tough period for the family. '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,' she wrote on Instagram at the time. She'd added, 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.' The son of Starstruck co-founder Narvel Blackstock, Brandon was formerly the stepson of Reba McEntire, who was married to his father for 26 years. Working alongside his dad, Brandon was involved in managing the careers of clients such as Blake Shelton and Carly Pearce. Years after meeting each other while Narvel was Clarkson's manager, the singer and Brandon tied the knot in 2013, after which Brandon would become his then-wife's manager. They share two children together, welcoming 11-year-old River in 2014 and 9-year-old Remington in 2016. In 2020, Clarkson filed for divorce, setting off a lengthy legal battle between herself and her ex-husband. Though they'd eventually settle their split in 2022 — with Clarkson agreeing to give Brandon $45,601 in monthly child support as well as a one-time payment of $1.3 million — Starstruck would later sue the American Idol alum for alleged unpaid fees. Clarkson responded by alleging that the Blackstocks actually owed her money, filing a complaint with California's Labor Commissioner that claimed they'd violated the state's Talent Agencies Act by serving as her managers as well as unlicensed talent agents who booked her business deals. The ruling went in Clarkson's favor, with Brandon ordered to repay her more than $2.6 million in commissions. Shortly afterward, Blackstock and Starstruck challenged the ruling in court, but the case was ultimately dismissed in May 2024. In addition to the children he shared with Clarkson, Brandon is also survived by his kids with ex-wife Melissa Ashworth — Savannah and Seth — as well as a young grandson named Lake.
