Kelly Clarkson has always been candid about her journey, from winning the first season of American Idol in 2002 to coaching on The Voice and navigating personal challenges. Now, she’s pulling back the curtain on some of the industry’s less glamorous realities.

Reflecting on Early Career

During a conversation on the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast, Clarkson reflected on her early career, recalling how she had no idea American Idol was even a television show until her third audition.

At the time, no one—including her—realized how massive the competition would become. “Nobody knew it was going to amount to anything,” she admitted, laughing at how fans now view her win as a perfect stroke of fate.

After her breakthrough victory, Clarkson went on to carve out a highly successful music career, delivering hits like Since U Been Gone and Breakaway, winning three Grammys, and eventually...

Kelly Clarkson will be taking a couple of days off from her talk show hosting soon to sing for her New Jersey fans.

In May, Clarkson will be at the Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for two nights only, May 10 and 11.

Seeing that his son is missing, Robert searches the mall, seeing Brian playing with the toys. He pulls away his son from the toys and scolds him, warning him of the syndicates that kidnap children to use them as beggars. The relationship between Robert and Brian is one that is far from ideal.

Director Ian Lorenos and actor Jericho Rosales visited the Southern California desert for the 24th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival. I'm proud to say that the city I live in hosts one of the most prominent film festivals in the world!

Lorenos and Rosales were in town for their fantastic indie, "Breakaway (Alagwa)." The film has been getting major awards buzz for its indelible performances (both Rosales and the child actor who plays his son, Bugoy Carino), well-written script (Lorenos wrote and directed the film), and intriguing plotline.

It was a pleasure meeting both star and director for one-on-one interviews. They both consider "Breakaway" an important film in their respective careers.
