Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caitlin's Entertainment Report and he's on the Fred Show. This
is the biggest story of the day. Brandon Blackstock, Kelly
Clarkson's ex husband and Reba McIntyre's former step son, has
died after a private three year battle with cancer at
just forty eight years old. Brandon was married to Kelly
from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two and they shared

(00:21):
two kids together. He also has two children from a
previous marriage. He was also Kelly's manager for a little
while there as well, and they had a very messy divorce,
as you probably know. This comes just a couple of
days after Kelly announced that she was canceling the remainder
of her August residency shows in Vegas to be there
for her kids amid his illness. We did not know

(00:43):
how serious. It was clearly very serious. She also had
missed a lot of episodes of her talk show with
no explanation, as well as postponing the beginning of her residency,
saying it was vocal issues, but obviously there was much
more going on behind the scenes, and she just wants
to be there for her kids right now, thinking of them,
it's so so sad, moving on to Hulk Hogan and

(01:05):
his widow Sky Daily, who says that just why reports
that he is getting cremated, He hasn't yet, and it's
all due to this ongoing family concern about the circumstances
surrounding his death and a need for clarity on his
medical care before honoring his final wishes. Now, Hulk's daughter
has been very vocal about this, Brooke Cogan, She's one

(01:26):
of these family members who's super confused, and she's offered
to personally pay for an independent autopsy so they can
get answers and closure. She said that she wants clarity
for the sake of her dad's dignity and legacy, and
she's particularly confused after reading that he was diagnosed at
some point with leukemia. I know we talked a little
bit about this, but that was a surprise her, as

(01:47):
well as his heart surgery on his medical records, something
she knew nothing about. So they want answers, and so
they're holding off on Hulk's final wishes. And after losing
his specific Palisades home and his others to January's deadly wildfires,
reality star Spencer Pratt is taking his fight for answers
to Washington, d C. Now. Spencer specifically blames California Governor

(02:11):
Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass for mismanaging relief
and fire aid funds. He spent three days actually meeting
with federal officials, including the acting United States Attorney and
he says the investigation into the funds is the real
deal and he vows to hold the leaders accountable. With
multiple lives lost in the fire, Spencer says that he

(02:32):
has nothing to lose, and he says Gavin and Karen
have much to fear amid his push for justice, and
I feel like he is not the only one who
wants answers, you know, in terms of how those fires
were handled. By the way, if you missed any part
