Kelly Clarkson Admits She and Brandon Blackstock Are ‘So Getting Married’
Could Kelly Clarkson be getting engaged soon? Perhaps. She’s been dating Nashville music industry executive Brandon Blackstock for several months, and the singer gushes that she’s “completely head over heels for him.”
Clarkson first met her beau when she was working with Rascal Flatts. Blackstock’s father, Narvel Blackstock, is Clarkson’s manager, and is also married to Reba McEntire.
“I really didn’t know he was [my manager's] son and it was kind of weird. I was like, ‘Dude, I gotta know that guy,’” Clarkson tells Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM morning show. “We were just in a room together, and then he came up and said he was from the same home town as me and I was like, ‘Oh, we’re so getting married.’ I was so that girl. When he became single, I was on the prowl.”
Clarkson gushes freely about her newfound love, and doesn’t seem to mind if it doesn’t exactly mesh with her fiercely independent image from just a few years ago. “Once you finally fall in love with someone and you are so comfortable with them, it makes you more comfortable in your skin,” she reveals. “It makes you comfortable as an artist and it makes you more confident. It also makes you confident because you have a buddy to throw things off of. I know that doesn’t sound like ‘cool, hard core, I’m Miss Independent girl,’ but it’s the truth. I’m completely head over heels for him, he knows that.”
So could wedding bells be in the future for these two? It certainly seems possible, if not immediate. “It’s weird how life kind of puts you in certain situations,” Clarkson says. “We’re taking it slow, and we’re enjoying each other. I’m from a family of broken marriages, but we will definitely break that trend one day.”

Female Arm Wrestler Has a Scream That Will Scare the Pants Off of You
May 19, 2013 10:00 AM I am NOT athletic at all. So, my tactic to win or at least appear like some sort of competition to my opponent is to look the part or sound the part. This female arm wrestler must have taken a play right out of the Leslie Morgan play book. Rule number 1....make your bark SO big, they won't notice you have no bite!! ;-)

‘Sad Cat Diary’ Offers Hilarious Insight Into the Mind of a Cat
May 19, 2013 4:00 AM As, you know, Jon refers to me as 'The Cat Lady' on the air. Just because I adopted my first cat a year ago and have since acquired 7 more, doesn't make me a cat lady. Or does it??? ;-) Ok, I know it would appear that I, if I'm not the cat lady NOW, I am well on my way. In the past year, I have become very in tune with cats and all of their personalities. Maybe that's why I love them so much and they, in turn, are drawn to me. lol
I found a video that gives a little insight to the mind of the sad cat (which is only ONE of their many personalities) Watch, learn and laugh!! It's seriously, hilarious!
