Kelly Clarkson Performing ‘A Little Bit Alexis’ With Annie Murphy Is Pure Gold


Somewhere on location in Bosnia, Moira Rose is shaking in her pajama vest.

On January 30, Annie Murphy had the audacité to appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show and perform the Schitt’s Creek classic “A Little Bit Alexis” in front of a live studio audience and the Serious Actors™ of the Oscar-nominated film 1917. You know, the song her character, Alexis Rose, used to audition for her mother’s local production of Cabaret in season five.

For the uninitiated, Schitt’s Creek (created by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy) follows a formerly wealthy family who lose everything and are forced to live in a ramshackle motel in a town they bought as a joke. What sounds like a pretty surface comedy has pierced the hearts of viewers who have watched the Rose family bond and grow through their misfortune.

The one thing that hasn’t changed is Alexis’s lack of self-awareness, and thank God (aka Dan Levy) for that. Doubly, thank Clarkson for reviving the instant classic on her show, with her own Texas spin.

Watch for yourself, below:

Kelly Clarkson Proudly Revealed How Often She and Her Husband Have Sex


Kelly Clarkson is not one to shy away when it comes to personal questions, so when she was asked about her nighttime routine, she got candid about her sex life with husband Brandon Blackstock.

During a round of “Ask Me Anything” on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer sat down with The Voice Season 14 winner Brynn Cartelli who asked her former coach: “What is the last thing you do before you go to bed every night?”

The question seemed innocent enough so many expected Clarkson to reveal her bedtime skincare routine or what TV shows she binges before bed. Instead, she provided everyone with a refreshingly unfiltered response.

“Well, Brynn, I was single for many years so,” she said. “I have children, and how one makes children is generally what I do before bed—that’s not a lie.”

“That’s real,” Clarkson added. “And it’s not weird. It’s natural.”

You can check out a clip of Clarkson’s upcoming interview below:

The American Idol Season 1 winner started dating Blackstock in 2012 before tying the knot the following year. The couple share two children, 5-year-old River and 3-year-old Remington.

This isn’t the first time Clarkson has gotten real about sex with her husband. In 2017, she told Redbook that she was happy to finally find “someone I was truly passionate about, who I wanted to stay in bed with all day.”

“Any time we’re in a discussion about sex with a bunch of couples, Brandon and I stay pretty quiet,” she told the magazine. “To keep it family appropriate, let’s say we’re just a lot more active than other couples.”

In fact, Clarkson said that before meeting Blackstock, she wasn’t sure she’d ever find someone she was genuinely attracted to.

“This isn’t a downer to anybody I dated before him, but I’m just going to be real: I never felt like, honesty, sexually attracted to anybody before him,” she explained. “And I’m not downing my exes. You know, everybody’s different. But there was something about him.”

She added, “I honestly thought I was asexual—I’d never been turned on like that in my whole life. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s that feeling… okay!”

Kelly Clarkson Announces Las Vegas Residency


Over the last few weeks, Kelly Clarkson has been flexing her vocal power during Kellyoke, a popular segment on her NBC variety show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, in which she does covers of big hits. She’s done impeccable takes on Lizzo’s “Juice,” Britney Spears’s “Till The World Ends,” and even a Hocus Pocus-inspired version of “I Put A Spell On You.” But this week, she surprised fans by briefly singing a medley of her songs—and it turns out, it was all part of a bigger announcement she’s had brewing for a while.

To make the announcement, Clarkson brought out a few full-feathered showgirls before turning to the audience with the good news. “You’re probably wondering two things: One, ‘Why are there showgirls here?’ And what I say to that is, ‘Why not?’ And two: ‘Why am I singing a medley of my own songs during Kellyoke?’ Because it’s super vain and weird. I usually don’t like doing them during Kellyoke, because I feel like a tool, but today there’s a reason, so I did it,” she said. “When I launched this show I heard from fans everywhere who were worried I’d stop putting out new music and touring. Well, don’t worry. I got you.”

She continued excitedly, “I have a major announcement to make: I’ve scored my very own residency in Las Vegas.” The residency, she revealed, will be named “Invincible” after one of her songs. It’s set to run from April to September. It’s actually kicking off on April 1—Clarkson assured fans it’s not an elaborate April Fools joke—and it’ll take place at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Full dates and tickets were posted onto Clarkson’s website this week.

As Kellyoke has been reminding us, Clarkson is a seriously talented performer, and a Vegas residency sounds like the perfect thing for her. It’s coming at a time in which her TV show has been ranked fourth, according to Nielsen, among syndicated daytime talk shows, which means fans really want more Kelly.

“Not only am I getting to perform, I’m gonna get to play all the Wheel of Fortune slots, which is really my reason for going there,” the singer joked. “The gambling, the shows, the all-you-can-eat buffet, and crab legs, I love all of it.” She’ll be right at home.

Kelly Clarkson Dressed Up as Winifred From Hocus Pocus and Performed 'I Put a Spell on You'


Happy Halloween to all, but especially Kelly Clarkson.

‘Tis the season of candy corn, scary movies, and intricately-crafted celebrity costumes—especially on talk shows. From Today to Good Morning America and Live with Kelly and Ryan, the hosts always go all out with their looks. But we’re not sure anyone is going to be able to top Clarkson’s very first Halloween celebration on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Even if you’ve yet to tune in to the daytime talk show, you’ve probably seen the viral clips of Clarkson covering other artists’ famous songs in her opening “Kellyoke” segment—like the time she sang Lizzo’s “Juice” and the internet lost its mind.

But the singer took things to a new level for her show’s Halloween celebration. Clarkson dressed up as one of Bette Midler’s most beloved characters: Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus. And her backup singers were in costume as the other sisters, Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary (Kathy Najimy). The rest of her crew was also in full Halloween regalia as zombie bellhops.

And the song choice? The appropriately witchy “I Put a Spell On You”, which was originally written and recorded back in 1956 and has been covered countless times, including in Hocus Pocus.

Watch it for yourself below.

The internet was very excited by this mash-up of some of their favorite things. “Kelly Clarkson singing ‘I Put A Spell On You’ dressed as a Sanderson sister from ‘Hocus Pocus’ is all I care about this Halloween,” one fan wrote. “Kelly Clarkson took a DNA test, and she’s 100% that WITCH! Kelly crushed her 2019 Halloween talk show episode by going as Winifred Sanderson from ‘Hocus Pocus’ AND singing ‘I Put A Spell On You’!,” another tweeted.

We’re still waiting to hear what the great Bette Midler thought of the performance. It’s a 10/10 for us.

This Video of Kelly Clarkson Covering Lizzo’s 'Juice' Needs to Be Seen


Kelly Clarkson covered Lizzo’s “Juice” on her daytime talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show this week, and the internet still has not recovered. In fact, her energetic take is making people realize just how badly they want a Lizzo-Clarkson collaboration some time in the near future. Who can make this happen?

For the uninitiated, Clarkson’s NBC show, which began airing on September 9, includes an incredible segment called Kellyoke. In it, the very first American Idol winner shows off what she does best: singing for live audiences. The segment is already a hit for obvious reasons, but this latest take on “Juice” elevates the segment to another level. Maybe that’s because the inspirational message of “Juice” was exactly right for the weekly Motivation Monday theme of Clarkson’s show.

Over on Twitter, people are floored. A few pointed out that Clarkson has a history of doing covers—and because she got her start on Idol, there have been a lot throughout her time as a performer. (Remember her first audition with Madonna’s “Express Yourself”?) Even recently she’s made people swoon at concerts, like when she hit every single note while singing “Shallow” at a show in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Anyway, watch her belt “Juice” below:

Some of Clarkson’s other covers on Kellyoke include renditions of Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man,” Britney Spears’s “Till The World Ends,” and Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” She also performed “Straight Up,” a favorite by her former Idol judge Paula Abdul.

Lizzo hasn’t commented on Clarkson’s cover yet, but it feels as if anything could happen in terms of a collaboration. Lizzo is having an incredible year that has included teaming up with her hero Missy Elliott as well as artists like Charli XCX and Da Baby. She was also recently spotted in the studio with Justin Timberlake. Meanwhile, Rihanna has made it pretty clear she wants to work with the flute-playing all-star. So let’s add Clarkson to the list?

Rude: Someone Thought Kelly Clarkson Was a Seat-Filler at the Academy of Country Music Awards


Kelly Clarkson is an icon. That’s a straight-up fact. She has a catalog of bops, starred in the criminally underrated movie From Justin to Kelly, and is currently a judge on NBC’s The Voice. She’s earning checks left and right, as she should be. Kelly Clarkson is so damn iconic that she covered “Shallow” from A Star Is Born and made the world temporarily forget Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper released it first. OK, I’m exaggerating there, but you get my point: I inducted Clarkson into the “Legends Only” Hall of Fame a long time ago, as did the rest of the world.

So why did someone think she was a seat filler at the Academy of Country Music Awards Sunday night (April 7)? Clarkson revealed this little tidbit on Twitter shortly after the ceremony wrapped. “The greatest thing by far that happened to me tonight was being asked to move because some guy thought I was a seat filler at the ACM’s tonight #CantWinEmAll,” she tweeted. “Literally, it made my night because he was so serious, and I just politely said no hahaha.”

See Clarkson’s tweet for yourself, below.

There’s so much to break down here. First, let’s talk about how chill Clarkson was about this entire situation. Only true stars can shake this kind of thing off. In my mind, Clarkson responded to this guy with something like, “Oh, you don’t know who I am? That’s OK! I have three Grammys, four American Music Awards, and a Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Award.” When you have a Kid’s Choice Award sitting on your mantle, how can you be bothered by anything?

Real talk, though: How did this man not know who Kelly Clarkson was? Has he never cried to “Behind These Hazel Eyes?” Did he not see her two-episode arc on the early-aughts NBC drama America Dreams? He clearly has horrible taste in music.

But never fear, KC: The rest of us know exactly who you are. And we stan.
