Introducing... The Kelly Show?
OK, now that we've got that out of the way! Kelly Clarkson's got a big month ahead of her - she's hosting the Billboard Music Awards on May 20th - her first time hosting a major awards show. Of course, we all know she's full of personality from her coaching gig on the latest season of The Voice, and I suspect she might be one of the most fun hosts the show has ever had.
Kelly's gearing up for the event, telling us “To prepare for hosting the Billboard Music Awards, I already have 20 costume changes planned. I will be flying in like my girl P!nk and calling Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman for jokes. Well, or I’m just gonna show up and celebrate my favorite artists and get to know a few more. Yeah, maybe I’ll go with that plan.”
But Ellen seemed to feel she needed even more prep, and set her up with her very own daytime talkshow! Honestly... I would watch that.
Might be good that they got a chance to test that "Kelly's Karaoke" bit. I have some notes about cutting it down if they want to use it on the BBMAs.
Watch the Billboard Music Awards - with host, Kelly Clarkson! - 8pm on May 20th live from Vegas!

BOW BEFORE YOUR QUEEN: Get A Glimpse Of Rami Malek As Freddie Mercury And The Pressure Of Playing An Icon Like Mr. Fahrenheit
You mean this Queen biopic is really going to happen?!! YES. Maybe. Fingers crossed.
If the trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody and the behind the scenes pics unveiled at CinemaCon are any indication, the embattled Queen biopic -- 10yrs in the making! -- is going to pull through. The big question is: will it do the iconic band justice?
Production has been no pleasure cruise. Sacha Baron Cohen backed out of the project in 2013. Bryan Singer was booted as director last year after “not showing up” however do some digging and you’ll find far worse accusations on that guy. Enter Rami Malek, whose performance and gratitude might be the movie’s saving grace. According to Indiewire, Rami told the audience, “As an actor, you look at the humanity of someone, the struggles that he overcame throughout his life. Throughout the course of the film, you’ll learn so much about him that gives the way he sings the music and plays that music — it fills it with pain and beauty.” http://www.indiewire.com/2018/04/bohemian-rhapsody-rami-malek-cinemacon-1201957601/
Meanwhile, Queen guitarist Brian May was so moved he wrote to Rami and said “if Freddie were here today, he could not be more proud of what we were able to achieve.”
Yes, Rami may have an incredibly big bulge to fill, but he just might pull it off. Speaking of, let’s go back and watch Mr. Fahrenheit in action and look out for Bohemian Rhapsody in theaters on Nov. 2nd.
