Kelly Clarkson ‘will return to her talk show this autumn'
Kelly Clarkson will reportedly return to her talk show this autumn. Following the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, speculation has been rife over whether the 43-year-old singer and television host will resume new episodes of her The Kelly Clarkson Show.
But sources have now told TMZ she will be at work in September. Kelly's return comes after months of uncertainty about the future of the eponymous NBC talk show, which she stepped away from earlier this year to care for Brandon, who died on Thursday (07.08.25) at the age of 48.
The talent manager passed away after a private, years-long battle with melanoma.
A family representative said he died 'peacefully… surrounded by family' and asked for privacy during their difficult time.
Sources told Page Six Kelly's absence from her show was marked by exhaustion and grief.
They added: 'Kelly has been working so hard, as well as looking after Brandon.
'Despite their difficult divorce, he's still the man she loved and still her kids' father.'
Kelly and Brandon divorced in 2022 after a protracted and contentious legal battle.
During Kelly's absence from her show between February and March, guest hosts including Simu Liu, Roy Woods Jr. and Brooke Shields stepped in.
Many questioned whether she would return at the time.

Justin Timberlake was ill for ‘months' before Lyme disease diagnosis
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Justin Timberlake was ill for 'months' before being diagnosed with Lyme disease. The 44-year-old singer revealed last week he had contracted the tickborne condition - which can cause symptoms ranging from nerve pain and fatigue to cognitive difficulties and chronic illness - and insiders have told how he initially thought the exhaustion and pain he had been experiencing were part of getting older and the demands of his two-year Forget Tomorrow world tour. The source told People magazine: 'He's not 20 anymore. But when his symptoms worsened, he realised something deeper was going on. 'He pushed through for months before finally getting answers. The Lyme disease diagnosis brought clarity to a series of unexplained issues that he's been quietly dealing with.' The SexyBack singer's wife, Jessica Biel 'felt like something was off' with Justin's health and 'encouraged him to get checked out. The source added: 'She could tell that he wasn't himself. She's incredibly supportive.' Now his tour is over, Justin - who has sons Silas, 10, and fouryear-old Phineas with Jessica - is planning to focus on his health and take time to rest and recover. The insider said: 'He's taking it seriously. The plan is to rest, spend time with Jess and the kids and do everything he can to heal. 'He loved touring and being back onstage, but he's also relieved it's over. Now he can focus on his health.' Justin's *NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick, 53, recently praised his 'little bro' for battling through his illness to keep his tour goinng. He wrote on Instagram: 'Watching him battle Lyme disease day in and day out, while still getting on that stage night after night, was something I'll never forget.

Unexpected sisterhood
Contemporary fiction novel Loved One by Aisha Muharrar is hitting the shelves on August 12. When Julia's first-love-turned-best-friend Gabe, a musician with a cultish following, dies unexpectedly at 29, she goes on a quest to recover possessions he left with friends and acquaintances across the world. Throughout her journey, she encounters Gabe's ex-girlfriend Elizabeth, and the two find themselves reconciling their respective claims on Gabe's memory. 'The characters in my book all react differently to grief, which feels true to life,' Aisha said in an interview. 'Some people can't sleep, some people sleep all the time; some people get angry at the deceased, capturing a full range of grief. 'I think, when it comes to grief, what we're actually dealing with is this missing space in our lives. There was someone, a person who was unique, who had never been before and will never be again. Grief is learning to live with that missing space,' she added. Aisha's debut as a novel writer follows her previous release – an essay collection titled More Than a Label: Why What You Wear and Who You're With Doesn't Define Who You Are (2002). The author also worked as a writer for NBC's sitcom series Parks and Recreation and The Good Place.
