Kelly Clarkson Debuts a Choppy Bob as She Returns to 'The Voice' with a New Look
Clarkson previously stepped away from the show in 2023 Kelly Clarkson is back on The Voice — and she's got a new look! Clarkson, 43, sported a new side-parted wispy bob haircut in a promo video shared on Instagram for the upcoming season 29 of the show on Wednesday, July 23. "This time, we've got some tricks up our sleeve. Y'all get ready," Clarkson says in the clip while wearing a bold red lip paired with a black and white menswear-inspired outfit. The musician's new hairstyle marks a departure from her usual long blonde tresses, which she was seen sporting most recently as a few days ago when she performed in Las Vegas during her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The "Stronger" singer is back to coaching on the upcoming season 29 of NBC's The Voice — dubbed The Voice: Battle of Champions and set to air in spring 2026 — after previously stepping away to move her hit talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show to New York City. Clarkson, who last coached on season 23, will film the upcoming season of The Voice concurrently with her show. John Legend and Adam Levine will also return to coaching on the show in the upcoming season. The series will include a revamped format — now, coaches will enter the competition with 10 artists per team — and it will feature four rounds, each featuring a Voice first, per a press release. In the Blinds, coaches will compete in the Triple Turn Competition with the winner "gaining a special advantage in the next round." In the Battles, the coach with the most three-chair turns automatically earns a Super Steal, which can only be used once and trumps any other coach's attempt to steal. In the Knockouts, each coach will bring back two fan-favorite artists from their teams in previous seasons to compete in an "in-season all-star competition." "All-stars represent their former coaches as they battle in head-to-head sing-offs. The coach with the most sing-off wins is guaranteed a second finalist in the finale," the press release continues. "For this special episode, coaches call upon original Voice coach CeeLo Green to sit in on the competition and determine the winner of each All-Star Showdown." Meanwhile, the semi-final will kick off with the Top 9 and only four contestants will make it to the finale.

"For the first time in show history, a new voting block comprised of super fans and past Voice artists will have the opportunity to get in on the fun firsthand, experiencing the competition as part of the in-studio audience voting for their favorites in real time during the semi-finals and finale," the release added.

Comedian Michael Rapaport mocks NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani as ‘Zohran the moron'
Comedian and New York City resident Michael Rapaport gave democratic socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a new nickname during his podcast on Tuesday. Rapaport called Mamdani 'Zohran the Moron,' pronouncing his first name so it rhymes with moron, and vowing that he would not leave his home city even if the democratic socialist candidate became mayor. Advertisement 'I've heard a lot of people say that if Zohran the Moron wins the election, you're going to leave New York. New Yorkers, if Zohran the Moron wins the election, don't go anywhere,' he said, telling them not to let him run them out of their city. Mamdani's primary win has caused alarm among Jewish New Yorkers because of the candidate's rhetoric and stances surrounding Israel. During an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker, Mamdani refused to condemn the phrase 'globalize the intifada.' After receiving blowback for refusing to denounce the slogan, Mamdani reportedly told city business leaders that he would not use the phrase and would discourage others from doing so. Business leaders are also concerned about the candidate's democratic socialist policies, like his proposed rent freeze policy.

'He's not even from here,' he continued. 'Do not even think you're going to leave New York City if Zohran the Moron wins the election. I'm going nowhere.'

Getty Images Rapaport noted that even though he'll take a financial hit if Mamdani wins and enacts his far-left policies, he will still stay in the city. Advertisement 'I'm never leaving New York for a Three-Card Monty playing bulls— artist like you, Zohran the Moron,' he said. 'If this guy wins, we need to blame ourselves. We need to dust ourselves off and make New York great again.' Rapaport has spoken out against the mayoral candidate since he won the Democratic primary race last month. In an interview with NewsNation earlier this month, the comedian lamented, 'We are this close to having a person like that become mayor of what should be considered the greatest city in the world.' 'But the fact that this guy is even in contention is a slap in the face,' he added. 'Whether he wins or loses, it is a slap in the face.' Mamdani didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
