K-POP BAND SEVENTEEN: DRESSED LIKE HIP BUSINESSMEN

Hard times for K-pop boy band Seventeen. They hoped to make a splash on their first trip to the USA, but the pandemic barred them from live performances. Luckily they landed a spot on The Kelly Clarkson Show to show their talent. Ironically the band has only 13 members- they are divided into three “units”: the hip hop unit, the vocal unit, and the performance unit. They are said to be more involved in the actual songwriting and choreography than other boy bands – most are in their early 20’s. Thom Browne decked them out expensively for the Clarkson show – some of the clothes look a little too serious for this group, but they are cute…

KELLY CLARKSON’S DIVORCE BEARS NO RESEMBLANCE TO CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING

Kelly Clarkson is in for a rough ride when it comes to her increasingly problematic divorce. It is believed that Kelly suspected her husband of seven years, Brandon Blackstock, of cheating when she filed for divorce in June. She’s happy because she just got primary custody of their two children, but Brandon seems intent on giving her a hard time. He’s asking for $436,000 a month for child and spousal support, plus extravagant attorneys fees (he has SEVEN lawyers!) That’s 5.2 million a year! Observers predict Brandon will reveal Kelly’s secrets if she doesn’t cooperate. No wonder Kelly seems like she’s having a nervous breakdown! Her only hope is a pre-nup they signed before the wedding.

BEST AND WORST DRESSED: AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS 2017

BEST DRESSED: Hands down, Selena Gomez was voted Best Dressed at the American Music Awards the minute she set foot on the red carpet. Not only is she dressed appropriately for the occasion – young, rock n roll, sexy, but not TOO sexy, with brand new blonde hair, but she didn’t look like she was trying TOO hard. And everyone was happy to see her looking as beautiful and healthy as ever after her liver transplant.
WORST DRESSED: We like Kelly Clarkson far too much to let her stylist get sway with THIS! Kelly is beloved for her natural, wholesome good looks- and this look at the AMA’s couldn’t be more artificial. (Talk about trying TOO hard!) That heavy makeup (black lipstick?) matronly too-fancy gown, and droopy extensions make her look like a cross between a 1980’s country singer and a Goth opera singer. That’s NOT our sweet Kelly. Did you know she has a ranch in Texas for unwanted (blind, crippled etc) animals? We rest our case.

HOWARD STERN TO THE RESCUE!

We have to acknowledge Howard Stern for putting his experienced two cents into the Clive Davis-Kelly Clarkson feud. (As you know, Clive wrote some things in his new book that Kelly took exception to.) It’s apparent that Howard’s familiar with the ins and outs of the music business and especially the egotistical guys in managerial positions. Stern summed up the situation for his radio listeners:
“It sickens me when management guys like to set the record straight about how f—ing creative they are and what geniuses they are,” Stern said. “This guy is trying to diminish what she does? Doesn’t he have enough in life, can’t he tell his story without f—ing degrading her?”

GUTSY KELLY CLARKSON TO CLIVE DAVIS: NO MORE MR NICE GUY!

How refreshing it was to have Kelly Clarkson criticize and deny some of the recollections Clive Davis wrote about in his new book. Her outburst took courage because MEN rule in the world of music management and heaven help the woman who is not cooperative. We never thought about it, but Clive Davis was probably a tyrant just like the majority of music moguls and it’s likely that he too, treated women in that familiar and condescending manner. It seems he just wasn’t that nice to newcomer Kelly. We applaud Kelly’s courage in standing up to Davis! Click HERE to review Kelly’s complaints.

American Idol Kelly Clarkson (pictured above in Sydney, Australia) is starting a major concert tour this month. She has been quoted saying “I like my butt. I like putting on my jeans and filling them out.” We don’t believe her for a minute, do YOU?

KELLY CLARKSON WILL SURVIVE!

Although magazines have been claiming that Kelly Clarkson is having an “emotional meltdown” due to her career and personal problems, she seemed all right the other night at Mr Chow. Poor Kelly has been accused of having crying jags and eating binges that added 32 pounds. A cancelled tour and a disappointing album HAVE been major setbacks, but Kelly doesn’t seem like a basket case. She appears to be having fun with her cute companion – he kind of resembles her old boyfriend who produced her last album, David Hodges. Could this be Kelly’s brother? Kelly and her “brother” met Reba McEntire for dinner at Chow’s. Actually it’s Reba (one of the nicest people in show biz) who looks a little teary-eyed as she’s leaving.
