Kelly Clarkson appears on the latest episode of Kylie Kelce's podcast, where it sounds like she's calling out her kids' school. Kelly said, "I'm not gonna lie. I don't know when the school systems thought it would be a good plan for families and their emotional stability to start having performances at 10 a.m. during the week," adding, "This just in: a lot of us work. And surprising you with it, like, not giving you an advance where you can at least tell your work, 'Hey, I'm gonna need this morning off, like, to come in.'"

Speaking of superheroes, Ben Affleck, who has a three-film stint as the Batman in the DC universe, told GQ he's done with playing that character.
Ben said, "I am not interested in going down that particular genre again, not because of that bad experience, but just: I've lost interest in what was of interest about it to me." He places a lot of the reason for that decision on his mindset at the time he made those explaining it was because of "A lot of it was misalignment of agendas, understandings, expectations. And also by the way, I wasn't bringing anything particularly wonderful to that equation at the time, either. I had my own failings, significant failings, in that process and at that time." But at least he made the suit look good.
