Kelly Clarkson has reportedly resumed filming season 29 of *The Voice* after taking a brief absence to mourn the loss of ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.

*Deadline* reported on Tuesday, August 19, that Clarkson, 43, returned as a coach for the NBC music competition show alongside Adam Levine and John Legend. Per the outlet, Clarkson missed one episode of shooting — a rehearsal for the battle rounds — with fellow *American Idol* alum Jennifer Hudson filling in.

Season 29 of *The Voice* is titled “Battle of Champions” and is being filmed simultaneously with season 28, which features Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan and Reba McEntire as judges. *Deadline* reported on Tuesday that McEntire, who is the former stepmother of Blackstock, has fulfilled her obligations and filming remains on track for the season. (McEntire was married to Brandon’s father, Narvel Blackstock, from 1989 to 2015.)

*Us Weekly* has reached out to NBC for comment.

How ‘The Voice’ Family Is Supporting Kelly Clarkson Amid Ex-Husband’s Death

After missing a handful of episodes of her eponymous daytime talk show earlier this month, Clarkson postponed the remaining August performances at her Las Vegas residency, revealing Brandon was “ill.”

“While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children’s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,” Clarkson captioned an Instagram post at the time. The exes shared two children: daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remy, 9. Brandon also shared kids Savannah and Seth with first wife Melissa Ashworth.

Brandon died the following day on August 7 after a three year battle with cancer. He was 48 years old.

“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family,” a rep for the family confirmed to *Us* at the time. “We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time.”

In the days following his death, Clarkson canceled her August 17 Band Together Texas benefit concert appearance. Her talk show is currently still on track to start production in early September as scheduled, per *Deadline*, with tickets now on sale.

Earlier this week, host of *The Voice* Carson Daly exclusively told *Us Weekly* that things have been “tough” in the wake of Brandon’s death.

“We all knew Brandon well, and we are a family,” Daly, 52, told *Us*, noting that he worked with McEntire just last week. “Everything was fresh, so we’ve just been sending our prayers and support to them. It’s a terrible situation.”

He added, “It’s really no different than what you would do for your family members,” he said. “You let them know you’re there, you’re praying for them [and] you’re giving them space at the same time.”

Brandon Blackstock Secretly Battled Cancer for 3 Years Before Death

Clarkson and Brandon tied the knot in 2013. The singer filed for divorce in 2020 after seven years of marriage. Their contentious split included a court battle over property and finances and was finalized in 2022, when Clarkson received full primary custody of their two children and relocated the family to New York City.

Brandon, for his part, moved to Montana and found love again with partner Brittney Marie Jones, a former production assistant of Clarkson. In addition to Jones, Blackstock is survived by his parents, his siblings, his four children and his grandchildren.

The transition to the WNBA is a challenging path. As A’ja Wilson notes, it represents the toughest journey in sports, shifting from collegiate dominance to professional competition. Yet, rookies like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers have defied expectations, demonstrating sustained excellence without significant periods of adjustment.

As the 2025 season progresses, the focus has shifted to Connecticut Sun rookie Saniya Rivers. In approximately 25 minutes per game, Rivers is currently averaging around 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a half, and a block per game.

Rivers’ lithe frame facilitates exceptional mobility, combined with her size creating a formidable perimeter defender. Notably, she’s the only guard in the league currently averaging a steal and a block per game, prompting Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) comparisons.

According to @Trendy Hoop Stars on X, Rivers’ statistics could position her for further All-WNBA defensive honors. “Two-time Defensive Player of the Year Alana Beard is the only guard in WNBA history to record at least 100 combined steals and blocks in her rookie season—until now. Saniya Rivers is just 18 stocks away from becoming only the second guard ever to reach that milestone in her first…”

Rivers’ rookie performance underscores the potential for success without overwhelming spotlight attention. While Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings attract considerable focus, Rivers remains committed to diligent performance. “‘Oh, I gotta do this thing now,”’ she stated, demonstrating unwavering determination.

This surge could elevate Rivers’ position in the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year (ROTY) race, currently contested by Bueckers and Sonia Citron. UConn alumna Bueckers currently holds an advantage due to her well-rounded game, leading her team in points, assists, steals, and blocks. However, Citron has emerged as a significant contender, averaging 15.2 points and 2.5 assists for the Washington Mystics.

As WNBA legend Candace Parker recently noted on Post Moves with Aliyah Boston, “Everyone that has to vote (on the award) is going to have a fun job doing that.” Both Bueckers and Citron are currently excelling. Parker initially favored Bueckers for ROTY, stating, “It’s just a matter of her being on the court, (it’s) what all of us want to see.” However, Parker acknowledged Citron’s performance, adding, “Sonia, make me change my ways.”

The outcome of this rookie race remains to be seen. While Bueckers benefits from significant hype, Citron represents a compelling underdog candidate deserving greater recognition.

It was supposed to be just another step toward tightening their grip on the division, however, instead, the Dodgers walked off the field with a loss that looked heavier than the scorecard showed. Costly errors in the outfield did not just gift opportunities to the Rockies—the issues flipped momentum in a game the Dodgers had every scope to win. That unraveling spotlighted Teoscar Hernández, whose issues in right field became the turning point that no one in the team could ignore.

Adding fuel to the fire, frustration boiled over once the final out was recorded. Reports quickly revealed that Mookie Betts, Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman huddled together in a closed-door meeting, sparking quick speculation. “Mookie Betts, Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman have a closed-door meeting after the Dodgers’ loss, which featured misplays in right by Teoscar. Intriguing,” posted by Houston Mitchell of the Los Angeles Times. Fans did not need long to put two and two together—the analysis had to be related to accountability and what comes next.

The heart of the issue lies in Teoscar Hernández’s defense. The star’s offensive production has been powerful—second on the team with 74 RBIs and tied for second with 20 home runs—however, the star’s glove has let the Dodgers down in vital moments. Monday’s loss was no distinctive. A bad read in the third inning and a dropped ball in the ninth were the kinds of mistakes that transformed the game’s outcome. As Dave Roberts bluntly said, “We should have won that game. This is a hard one.” For the manager, typically measured by his statement, that frustration spoke volumes.

Naturally, fans and analysts alike began to float outcomes. One of the most talked-about options? Sliding Mookie Betts back into right field, where the star has proven himself with six Gold Gloves in seven seasons. The move would shore up the defense while opening up scopes for Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland—the 2 stars, more than capable shortstops—to take over in the infield. The manager didn’t dismiss the thought either, saying, “Defense is a big part of postseason baseball and winning baseball. He’s just got to continue to get better.” Still, it raised an intricate balancing act: can the Dodgers afford Hernández’s bat, however, sacrifice his glove?

That concern lingers like an unshaken echo. The Dodgers know the offense needs Hernández, however, the postseason is not forgiving when defense falters. As the manager put it after Yamamoto’s gem was wasted: “We get a starter that goes seven innings, their starter goes four innings and we don’t win this game. That’s a hard one to put into words.” Between the fans’ enhancing impatience and the internal urgency behind those closed doors, one thing is clear—the team’s margin for error is shrinking and the calls for transformation are only growing louder.

Fans react to Dodgers lineup dilemma

The first wave of reactions zeroed in on what some see as an obvious outcome. One fan bluntly said: “Mookie to Right, Teo to Left, Conforto to Waivers. It should have been like this since April. Enough is enough.” The message could not be clearer: defensive stability in right field begins with Mookie Betts. Given Teoscar Hernández’s costly miscues and Michael Conforto’s underwhelming production, the need for a shuffle is not just mental—it is backed by performance trends that scream for change.

Another hot topic? Why Mookie Betts has not been locked into his best position all along. “So wtf is Mookie playing shortstop? He’s a 6-time Gold Glove winner in right field,” another fan said. The data tell the story—Betts’ defensive brilliance is undeniable. Across his career, the star has established himself as a premier outfielder of MLB, winning six Gold Gloves in seven seasons before being shifted to the infield experiment.

The frustration carried a pleading tone from others: “Please go back to right, Mookie.” With good reason. In 2025, the star’s logged innings in shortstop and right field, however, Betts’ track record in the outfield is unmatched. Betts’ Gold Glove pedigree and his versatility to also cover second base speak volumes, however, at the end of the day, fans think his greatest value to the team’s championship push comes in right field.

That said, not every reaction was critical. Some fans were quick to defend the star, reminding others of Betts’ selflessness: “Mookie is a team player who will sacrifice himself to help make the team better.” It is true—he has proven that time and again. Whether it is moving to shortstop, shifting in the batting order to accommodate Shohei Ohtani and filling gaps when injuries struck, Betts has consistently prioritized the team’s needs over his comfort. That willingness to adapt has been a blessing and a curse—helping the team to maintain flexibility but also leaving questions related to whether Betts’ talent is being maximized.

Of course, not every fan was hopeful. Some vented outright anger at Roberts’ stubbornness: “Nothing will change. Roberts keeps trotting out his same dumbass lineup, thinking Conforto is good and Teo has a Gold Glove.” It is a sentiment that highlights the enhancing impatience in the team. For some, the issue is not just Hernández and Conforto—it is the manager’s insistence on sticking to a formula that clearly is not working. With the postseason coming quickly, that frustration could boil over if adjustments aren’t made quickly.

Fans have spoken and their message is loud: fix the defense, put Mookie back where he belongs and stop wasting scopes. Whether the Dodgers listen remains to be seen, however, with October coming quickly, the margin for error is razor-thin.

Quarterbacks normalmente reciben sus consejos de entrenadores, pero Arch Manning? Sus recordatorios más valiosos todavía provienen de su abuelo, Archie Manning, un miembro del Salón de la Fama. Justo antes de la temporada de Texas, él compartió algo que su abuelo nunca olvida decirle, y no se trata de ninguna estrategia; se trata de mantener la cabeza fría.

“En cada llamada con mi abuelo Archie termino con, ‘tumbado o fuera de banda’,” dijo Arch, según Inside Texas. Puede sonar simple, pero puede salvar una temporada si el QB1 de Texas evita golpes innecesarios. Arch también dijo que quiere ser más inteligente con cómo corre este año. Se considera uno de los favoritos para ganar el Heisman Trophy esta temporada, y la presión de tener “Manning” como apellido ya está dificultando su tiempo, incluso antes de que comience la temporada.

Post Malone ha dado una rara actualización sobre su hija de 3 años – y lo que ha aprendido sobre la paternidad. “Los niños son pequeños diablos y son hermosos al mismo tiempo,” dijo Malone, de 30 años, a *GQ* en una entrevista publicada el martes, 19 de agosto de 2025. “Y… Bueno, siendo padre, lo tomo un día a la vez. Creo que es importante de esa manera. Estamos aprendiendo cada día. No sé realmente qué demonios estoy haciendo, y ella tampoco. Ella simplemente lo está descubriendo.”

El cantante de “Circles” comparte su hija, cuyo nombre aún no ha sido revelado públicamente, con su ex pareja, Jamie Park.

Malone continuó diciendo que es “realmente dulce” que su casa acabara de terminar de construirse después de dos años y que su hija ama “montar en su bicicleta” por “este largo pasillo”.

Post Malone’s Ex Requests Full Physical Custody of Their Daughter

“Ella tiene este pequeño caballo de juguete y monta arriba y abajo y simplemente ríe la cabeza toda la maldita vez,” dijo a la publicación. “Es lo más hermoso que he experimentado en mi vida. Estoy bastante emocionado por eso. Es bastante genial ser padre.”

El cantante aún se siente en negación de que su hija tenga 3 años y “todavía está viva”.

“Es alucinante. No todavía he hecho el maldito desastre, así que es bueno,” bromeó.

Aunque la hija de Malone aún no está escuchando su música, compartió que le encanta “Pup Pup Boogie” de *Paw Patrol* mezclada con algunos George Strait.

“Es un éxito. Escúchalo después. Ella ama *Paw Patrol*,” dijo. “Ella ama *Pororo*, es como un pingüino coreano. Y cantan muchas canciones geniales, y son muy pegadizas. Tal vez yo robe algunas melodías, pero probablemente no. No quiero meterme en problemas. Y ella ama George Strait. Ella ama el steel guitar, que estoy bastante emocionado por eso.”

Post Malone Denies ‘Doing Drugs’ to Lose Weight: I’ve ‘Never Felt Healthier’

Malone no pudo evitar extasiarse con lo “divertido” que es su hija – y con lo mucho que desea pasar tiempo con ella después de estar tanto en la carretera.

“Oh, es diabólico. Es incontrolable,” dijo. “Es la criatura más hermosa que jamás haya existido en la Tierra. Y no puedo creer que… Bueno, no merezco algo así, pero es genial que esté en mi vida.”

Aunque Malone señaló que su hijo estaba “con su mamá” en el momento, no podía esperar a que ella viniera a Utah.

“Espero que le guste correr y hacer travesuras en la naturaleza también,” dijo. “Creo que sería una hermosa cosa.”

Malone reveló que ha aprendido que “todo lo que realmente necesitas es simplemente la familia, al final del día”.

Post Malone’s Relationship With Ex Hee Sung ‘Jamie’ Park: What to Know

“Sabes que he estado en la carretera por 10 años, y he estado haciéndolo vigorosamente,” explicó el músico. “Después de 10 años, es hora de simplemente relajarse. Y este es donde quieres estar. Quieres estar aquí con un pequeño “chico” de 3 años y simplemente empujarlo al agua y luego él te llama un pequeño “diablo”. ”

Malone ha compartido anteriormente que ser padre cambió su vida “de la mejor manera posible”.

“Nunca la olvidaré,” Malone le dijo a *CBS Sunday Morning* en agosto de 2024. “Nunca la olvidaré. Si has escuchado que llora, nunca la olvidarás, ni siquiera tú.”

New York, NY – The New York Yankees officially welcomed back Dominican shortstop José Ramírez, Jr. to the team on Monday following a brief stint on the injured list due to a minor ankle sprain. Ramírez, Jr., a key component of the Yankees’ midfield, returned to the lineup in last night’s 4-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners, immediately energizing the squad and contributing significantly to the team’s offensive performance.

The young prospect, acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Braves earlier this season, has quickly established himself as a force in the American League East. Before the injury, Ramírez, Jr. was batting .312 with six home runs and 18 RBIs, showcasing remarkable power and a high level of consistency. The injury, sustained during a routine ground ball in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, was initially projected to sideline him for up to two weeks, however, he recovered ahead of schedule, thanks to diligent rehabilitation.

“It feels great to be back out there with the guys,” Ramírez, Jr. stated following the game, visibly relieved and brimming with enthusiasm. “The team support has been incredible, and I want to thank the trainers and the medical staff for their work. I’m feeling strong and ready to contribute.”

Yankees manager, Pete Higgins, praised Ramírez, Jr.’s return and emphasized his importance to the team’s aspirations. “José is a dynamic player with the ability to change the game with a single swing,” Higgins commented during the post-game press conference. “His return adds a significant boost to our lineup, and we’re thrilled to have him back.”

The Yankees’ victory against the Mariners marked a crucial step in their pursuit of a playoff berth. Analysts are noting a discernible shift in momentum surrounding the team, largely attributed to Ramírez, Jr.’s return and continued stellar performance.

Looking ahead, the Yankees will continue their regular season schedule, with Ramírez, Jr. poised to play a vital role in their success. The team will undoubtedly be monitoring his progress closely, anticipating a sustained period of high-level performance from the Dominican star.

August 19, 2025 – College Football Playoff expansion continues to generate debate, with prominent analyst Paul Finebaum strongly advocating for the current 12-team format. Appearing on ‘McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning’ on Tuesday, Finebaum argued that the CFP should remain at 12 teams until further data is gathered, dismissing concerns raised by Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti regarding a potential 26 or 28-team model.

Finebaum, citing the inaugural season’s experience, expressed reservations about the proposed expansion. “You were there every step of the way last year and, by the end, it felt exhausting, and that’s primarily because we had never done it before,” he stated. “But, I mean, there were, there were times where you just when, you know, going from week two to three, you’re like going, ‘Is this ever going to end?’ and that’s not how it should feel.”

He criticized Petitti’s apparent urgency, characterizing it as overly driven by television networks. “Listen, it seems TV-directed,” Finebaum explained. “Let’s be honest. We all work for television networks, but I think you have to be realistic when you’re involved in these types of conversations. I think it’s fair to say that Championship Saturday is in danger if the playoff gets expanded.”

Finebaum further questioned whether the Big Ten, in particular, possesses sufficient quality teams to populate a significantly larger playoff field. “Listen, it seems TV-directed,” he reiterated. “Let’s be honest. We all work for television networks, but I think you have to be realistic when you’re involved in these types of conversations. I think it’s fair to say that Championship Saturday is in danger if the playoff gets expanded.”

He argued that Petitti, with his background as a Harvard-educated attorney and former Wall Street and television network executive, lacks an understanding of the nuanced dynamics of college football and basketball. “He doesn’t understand the nuances of college football and college basketball and things like that. And I think, when you just parachute in from Madison Avenue or Wall Street, you are not going to be prepared for how the game is really played where you have other commissioners – (Greg) Sankey, Jim Phillips in the ACC and the SEC – who have been in intercollegiate athletics their entire life.”

Finebaum also referenced instances such as Indiana’s strong performance last season to highlight the difficulty in predicting sustained success and the potential for expanding the playoff to include teams with lower regular-season records.
