Kelly Clarkson has successfully argued in court that her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, owes her more than $2.6 million for royalties she gave him to close transactions while he was her manager. On November 21, the labor commissioner in California ruled that Brandon got Kelly several deals, like her job as a judge on The Voice and BMA host. These deals should have been handled by her talent agents at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). This decision is another win for Kelly Clarkson in her divorce battle. Kelly…

Kelly Clarkson‘s ex, Brandon Blackstock, owes her $2,641,374 for allegedly making business deals on her behalf against the law, according to a California labor commissioner. People reports that Golden State law requires that managers cannot act as agents, so the commissions he was paid for securing the singer’s contracts with The Voice, Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL), those omnipresent Wayfair commercials, and the Billboard Music Awards must be paid back to Clarkson. “Under the Talent Agencies Act (TAA), a…

GREEN BAY, Wis. —  Torched again, the smell of the Chargers’ burnt pass defense permeated Sunday even into a performance during which the group gave up only two touchdowns.Brandon Staley faced repeated questions related to his defense following a 23-20 loss to Green Bay, the inquires reaching a point where the head coach turned plenty defensive himself.“There were a lot of other things that caused us to lose today,” Staley said. “It certainly wasn’t our defense.

Fast fashion giant Shein paid for influencers to take a tour of part of its Chinese manufacturing operation several weeks ago, and the lucky Instagram and TikTok stars filled social media with videos from their recent trip last Tuesday. The videos showed off clean, pleasant factories, smiling workers, and a stalwart commitment to safety. Forced labor allegations? Never heard of them!

Kelly Clarkson Says She Has Put Her Entire Journey With Ex-Husband Brandon Blackstock In Her New Album ‘Chemistry’ ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Kelly Clarkson made sure her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock wasn’t caught off-guard by her divorce album ‘Chemistry’. The ‘A Moment Like This’ singer, 41, filed for divorce from her 46-year-old former partner in June 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage – which sparked a bitter split battle – and she said she and Brandon had a “text exchange” before the release of her new…

The stakes in Brandon Taylor’s fiction are always high – strikingly so, given these are campus novels. Lovers and gods are cruel; life’s beauty is dangerously close to being unbearable. Early on in The Late Americans, graduate student poet Seamus pictures his cohort as living in a dollhouse: “It was so easy to imagine the hands of some enormous and indifferent God prying the house open and squinting at them as they went about their lives … in an exhibit called The Late Americans.” Are our lives spectacles? And how can we…

Brandon Taylor’s absorbing debut, Real Life, shortlisted for the Booker in 2020, followed a gay black biochemistry postgrad who finds his path absurdly trip-wired by the assumptions of white colleagues. As satire, it was phenomenally effective, with the choicest skewering saved for those who see the main character primarily as a means to trumpet their own empathy. Crucially, the book never made a saint of its protagonist, who, more than ready to feel the weight of the world on his shoulders, has one or two blind spots of…

Brandon Taylor writes quickly. “I can type almost as fast as I can think,” he says. The first draft of his debut novel, the Booker-shortlisted Real Life, took him five weeks; last June he challenged a writer friend to a race. The friend had been 30,000 words ahead on his book, with Taylor going from a standing start, but by August, Taylor had finished, while his friend was still ploughing on.Since Taylor says that “everybody in my family dies young”, one might assume that this is a rush to seize the day. But writing, he…
