Kelly Clarkson had a cameo appearance on the hit ABC series The Rookie in 2023. Looking back, she's feeling sorry for the way that she acted on the set.

Clarkson discussed her guest appearance on the Season 5 episode, "Death Notice," during a Q&a session for The Kelly Clarkson Show. She shared how she was ecstatic when the offer came in to appear on The Rookie, as she was already a very big fan of the series. Unfortunately, she was perhaps too much of a fan, as she says the shoot was the most nervous she's ever felt on a set. This led to her acting like an "idiot," and she is now offering an apology to the cast and crew.

As someone who grew up loving movies in the 1980s, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll ever shut up about movies from the 1980s. Yeah, a lot of those movies were good. A lot of them also stank out loud. You could make both those statements about any decade for the last 120 years. When, oh when will filmmakers finally move on and, just for a change of pace, make some cinematic love letters to the summer “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” and “From Justin to Kelly” came out?

Not today, that’s for sure. “The 4:30 Movie” is a nostalgic throwback to the sleepy summer of 1986, when teenagers watched wrestling religiously, made ironic predictions about the Mets never winning the World Series, and spent all day at the movies jumping from theater to theater. The mission was simple: Buy one ticket to a film rated G, PG...

Bill Hader or, at least, an animated character that he voices, will don a red-and-white striped top hat in a new adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ “The Cat in the Hat.”

The “Barry” star will lead a vocal ensemble that also includes Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Bowen Yang (“SNL”), Xochitl Gomez (“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”), Matt Berry (“What We Do in The Shadows”) and Paula Pell (“Girls5eva”). Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Dr. Seuss Enterprises officially announced the casting on Monday.

“The Cat in the Hat” will open in theaters on March 6, 2026. Although the book is a children’s classic, it has a checkered cinematic legacy. A 2003 live-action adaptation, starring Mike Myers as he was riding high off of “Austin Powers,” collapsed at the box office. It earned $134 million on a $109 million budget and became a money-loser when marketing and distribution costs were factored into the equation. It...

In Hollywood, there are certain movies that actors may look back on, and regret performing in. Actors such as Forest Whitaker and George Clooney regret taking on certain roles due to the critical failure of the movies. Actors such as Eddie Redmayne and Timotheé Chalamet regret certain roles due to controversy surrounding their movies.

In Hollywood, sometimes, actors may look back on certain roles that they took throughout their careers and think they shouldn't have taken them. Many actors in the film industry have spoken about past negative choices they made in terms of movie roles. Some have been critical of particular roles and have even poked fun at the decisions that they made in their career.

An actor may regret taking on a particular role if the movie isn't well received by audiences and critics. On other occasions, a movie may achieve success, but some actors are critical of...

Outstanding performances can elevate even the worst musicals, like Maddie Ziegler's in "Music" and Gene Kelly's in "Xanadu." Despite critical and commercial failures, talents like Kelly Clarkson in "From Justin to Kelly" and Michelle Pfeiffer in "Grease 2" are worth watching. Cher's powerful vocals in "Burlesque" and Emmy Rossum's remarkable portrayal of Christine in "Phantom of the Opera" solidify their status as entertainment legends.

Musicals, one of the most beloved genres in Hollywood, have produced some great performances even in bad movies. Full of enchanting performances, catchy songs, and dazzling theatrics, it's easy to see why they are so popular. When done well, they can be extraordinary, but not all musicals hit the mark. Over the years, some have failed to resonate with critics and audiences. But even in less successful musicals, there can be outstanding performances by actors that make them worth watching. These performances...

The Kelly Clarkson Show –Kelly Clarkson — (Photo by: Weiss Eubanks/NBCUniversal) If there was one single day that changed the trajectory of Kelly Clarkson’s life, it would be safe to say it was the day she auditioned for the first season of an unknown show called American Idol. You’d have to be Rip van Winkle to not know how the story ends: Clarkson won that first season of Idol; became a platinum-selling, Grammy-winning artist; starred in the movie From Justin to Kelly, and became a mentor and coach on The Voice; and become an Emmy-nominated daytime talk show host. It’s been quite a ride for Clarkson, thanks to that successful audition, and she remembers it like it was yesterday.

February is the shortest month of the year but Prime Video is paying that no mind with its jam-packed list of new releases for February 2023.

This really is an uncommonly stuffed month on the Amazon streamer and it all starts with a handful of Amazon Originals. Amazon’s original offerings kick off with the release of Dave Franco-directed romcom Somebody I Used to Know on Feb. 10. That is followed by Carnival Row season 2 – a gritty fantasy crime drama is set in a world of steampunky fairies. The show stars Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevigne and this batch of episodes will be its swan song. Meanwhile The Consultant on Feb. 24 is a dark comedy workplace thriller starring Christoph Waltz.

The biggest hits this month, however, might just be some recent cinema faves. If February is for lovers, Amazon didn’t get the memo as there are quite a few horror movies of note here.

Kelly Clarkson was surprised by Tom Brady’s acting chops in the new movie, “80 for Brady,” teasing to the film’s cast that her making “From Justin to Kelly” proves that “not all of us are actors!”

“80 for Brady” follows four best friends – played by Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field – who want to live life to the fullest as they embark on a crazy trip to see their hero, none other than Brady, play in the 2017 Super Bowl.

The four legendary actresses joined the “American Idol” alum on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” Monday morning to discuss the film and the decorated quarterback’s shockingly good acting skills.

I don’t think Spice World: The Movie is as good as Inception.

This winter marks the 20th birthday of a film that many had sneered at before its release, and many continue to sneer at now. Boasting a hard-won 3.4/10 score on IMDb, Spice World: The Movie pops up from time to time in lists slamming films involving pop stars, or, if it’s lucky, it appears on the ‘guilty pleasure’ carousel. For added fun, the late Roger Ebert had it as one of the films that he most hated. Yikes.

He came in second place on the inaugural season of Fox’s megahit American Idol. But looking back on it, Justin Guarini sure is glad he didn’t win.

The 38-year-old singer and actor — currently earning rave reviews for his turn in Broadway’s new musical In Transit — told People that while there are things he would have changed about his time on the show, beating out Kelly Clarkson for the top prize isn’t one of them.

“I think my life would have gone differently had I won,” Guarini said. “I was not ready, and I was just naive.

As the Marvel and DC universes expand, audiences were treated to more superhero flicks than you could shake a cape at. But which was the best?

It might be slightly redundant to say that superhero movies have entered their baroque phase. After all, unbridled spectacle, melodrama, and ornate design elements are inherent to the genre. Still, the 2016 slate of comic book epics felt even more exaggerated than usual. There are more of these movies than ever, with budget-bulging cataclysmic finales all gunning to top each other. The superhero films (and spin-off TV series) that succeeded most emphatically are the ones that went just a notch smaller, to satisfying effect.

On Tuesday, Kelly, who has publicly declared her support for Hillary Clinton, shared a photo of herself and Justin during the first season finale of the singing show; as you can probably remember, Kelly won the title while Justin came in second place. The onstage snap was captioned, "Make the right choice again, America. #Election2016," and Kelly retweeted it with cry-laughing emoji, adding, "Just kidding, Justin." Savage.

Fox’s treatment of Marvel properties is unacceptable. There, I’ve established how I feel. Now, let’s run down why it’s so exciting that one day we may see them work with Marvel in a capacity similar to Sony. To put it bluntly, it feels like Fox is just in it for the money. I’m aware of how capitalism works, but the difference between someone who cares about what they are doing and someone rifling through your pockets is glaringly obvious. Many of you will disagree, but let’s take a peek back in time. We’ll begin with X-Men.

In 2000, a time before Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man film, X-Men was a triumph. Not many people cared about the fact that Hugh Jackman looked nothing like the comic book version of Wolverine. It was just cool to see a man with claws tearing through stuff. But,...

The juggernaut known as American Idol is coming to an end after nearly 14 years on the air, and the conversation around its final season has focused on its musical legacy, gifting the world a constellation of bright stars like Jennifer Hudson (she won an Oscar!) and Katherine McPhee (she starred in a 3-D movie about sharks in a supermarket!). But as the show sings its swan song, we can't forget another indelible mark the series left on pop culture: specifically, 2003's would-be summer blockbuster and the stillborn brainchild of Idol mastermind Simon Fuller,...

With the end of American Idol near, we've found ourselves taking a trip down memory lane more than once, getting a bit wistful about the long-running Fox series' early days. And in doing so, we've stumbled upon perhaps one of the strangest points in the franchise's early history—one we'd completely forgotten about. In 2003, after Kelly Clarkson had been crowned America's inaugural Idol, someone had the grand idea to gather the reigning Idols from 11 countries and pit them against one another in a one-off competition. We present to you: World Idol. If you thought the biggest indignity forced upon Kelly following her crowning was From Justin to Kelly, you were wrong. World...

Remember From Justin to Kelly, the film that put the "hor-" in "horrendous" and starred Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini? For those needing a refresher, it was released in 2003 after Clarkson won the first American Idol. Fox wanted to capitalize on all the hype, even after the 25-episode first season, so they stuffed Clarkson into a movie with the runner-up. Nearly 12 years after the film debuted, Clarkson revealed what she really thinks about From Justin to Kelly.  In an interview with Rolling Stone, the magazine asked if it was time for her to burn all copies of the film, which made her laugh. She replied: No, I think I would have to own it first. But that is something I will look into. I have a little joke with our nanny, because she told me she loves that movie. She was like, "My roommate and I used to watch it...

Kelly Clarkson's nanny may lose her job! Not really, but she will definitely annoy her boss if she keeps talking about 2003's From Justin to Kelly.

Every star has some career regrets, but it seems like no one is more passionate about hating something than Kelly Clarkson. What did the American Idol winner do that haunts her every single day? She filmed From Justin to Kelly alongside fellow alum Justin Guarini. She regrets the project so much, in fact, that she has joked with her nanny that she would fire her if she ever showed the movie to her daughter River Rose.  When asked by Rolling Stone if she would "burn all the existing copies" of it, she responded, "No, I think I would have to own it first. But that is something I will look into." She added, "I have a little joke with our nanny, because she told me she loves that movie....

Fox announced on Monday (May 11) morning that "American Idol" has been renewed for the 2015-16 season, but that next year's installment will be its last. Per the official Fox release, host Ryan Seacrest and all three current judges -- Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr -- will return to "search for the final 'Idol' superstar and pay tribute to the past 14 seasons of amazingly talented contestants and the millions of fans who tweeted, texted and championed their Idols." Whether you've watched "American Idol" from the beginning and still tune in on a weekly basis or you've looked down your nose at "Idol" for its role in reality-izing network television, it would be foolish not to look at this as the end of a rather major era. Adapted from the British "Pop Idol" format, "American Idol" premiered in the summer of 2002 and developed into a burgeoning sensation,...

Kelly Clarkson has been making the press rounds to talk about her latest album, Piece by Piece, but she wasn't just chatting about her music during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday. Kelly played "Plead the Fifth" with Andy and admitted, finally, that she did in fact date her fellow American Idol contestant Justin Guarini. There was speculation that Kelly and Justin, who took first and second place, respectively, on the first-ever season of Idol in 2002, were dating at the time, but she cleared those rumors up saying, "We didn't date during Idol, which everybody thought we were dating. We did date a little bit. Any two people who are thrown together that much . . . I'm just sayin'" They remained close after the successful premiere season of the reality competition, since they went on to star together in the musical From Justin to Kelly.

The legendary love story in "From Justin to Kelly" was the real deal. Kelly Clarkson and her Season One runner-up Justin Guarini followed up their time on "American Idol" with one of the best worst movies ever made, the aforementioned movie musical that took place during Spring Break in Miami. And while the romance wasn't exactly realistic on film, sparks were flying off set. The "Heartbeat Song" singer was on "Watch What Happens Live" last night, where Andy Cohen put her in the hot seat for a round of Plead the 5th -- and that's where the truth about Justin came out. "We didn't date during 'Idol,'" Clarkson said after he asked whether they hooked up. "We did date a little bit. I think any two people that are thrown together that much would date. Guy, girl, 'Timeless' [a duet from their musical], put that song on, you can't fight it!" Cohen also...

Gay or straight, Kelly Clarkson doesn’t care how her kids end up – she just wants them to have their own happily ever after.

“I just hope [River Rose] finds love,” Clarkson says. “It took me a while, man. And there was a lot of heartache throughout those years. You know, as long as she’s happy, I don’t care either way, and neither does my husband. And we have two other kids as well, and we don’t care either way for all of them.”

What are some films that you would consider to be the worst of all time? Tommy Wiseau’s The Room? John Travolta’s Battlefield Earth? Mariah Carey’s Glitter? Well, according to film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, there are films that are much worse out there. While the movies just mentioned are bad, they still have their fair share of positive reviews on the popular website.

Today we are going to be looking at ten films that have the dishonorable distinction of having a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. These are films that apparently no reviewer can find any merit in whatsoever. We’d like to argue that these next films don’t necessarily deserve that distinction. Now, these movies are far from masterpieces (heck, they’re not even all that good) but they deserve at least a 1% rating for goodness sake!

Season 5′s Top 5 results telecast felt like an aggressive response to the blogosphere complaint that NBC’s reality-singing behemoth has yet to produce a viable chart-topper — this week’s Top 10 iTunes milestones for covers by three current semifinalists notwithstanding. (Cue Xtina rageface, followed by an indignant, “Excuse me, but I’m No. 10 on Billboard right this very second, bitches!” No, girl, we’re talking about contestants, not coaches.)

Last night marked Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar's TV returns (his first series regular gig in more than 30 years, she last starred in 2012's Ringer) but judging from social media reactions, you'd think Kelly Clarkson was actually the star of The Crazy Ones.

And it's easy to understand that fan logic since the singer absolutely knocked her role, a sexed-up warped version of Kelly Clarkson, out of the park. Something I don't think anyone who saw From Justin To Kelly was expecting. Clearly the 11 years since that movie came out has made Kelly infinitely more comfortable in front of the camera and in her own skin.

So, naturally, everyone's wondering when we'll see Kelly on TV next -- and if her next small screen stint will be permanent!

@kelly_clarkson you seriously need to be a regular in a tv series you are...

There have been many movies inspired by television shows and several movies inspired by the idea of reality TV, but few movies have hit the big screen that feature reality TV shows and reality TV stars. We're pretty sure From Justin to Kelly has something to do with that. Nonetheless, One Chance is on its way to theaters, and from the looks of the trailer, it might just be delightful. The movie is based on the life of Paul Potts, the winner of the first season of Britain's Got Talent. Most humans with both souls and internet access will remember him as the opera-singing cell phone salesman who made you cry when he sang Puccini's "Nessun Dorma." Sure, we all know how this one ends, but he does have an awfully inspiring story. It's getting its UK release in just a few weeks, but it won't be in Us theaters...

It's finally Labor Day Weekend, which means the summer movie going season is officially closed for business starting this Monday. As summer winds down, and we head into September, many movie fans have made one thing very clear. They think this summer has been a complete wash! But is this summer any different than last summer, or the summer before that? How about a decade removed? Did we have bombs as big as The Lone Ranger, R.I.P.D. and After Earth ten years ago? (Yeah, we did, and it was called Gigli.)

We've decided to take a look at how this summer stacks up to a bygone era. Was 2003 a better year for movies? Or did we actually have it pretty good here in 2013 with Iron Man 3, Man of Steel and Elysium (just to name a few of the better one that have played out over the...
