At Kelly Clarkson's new 'Studio Sessions' Las Vegas residency — which premiered at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on July 11 after the original July 4-5 opening weekend was postponed due to rehearsals taking 'a toll' on her famous voice — the inaugural American Idol winner is including a Kellyoke cover as part of each night's encore.
Clarkson went big on opening night, tackling 'I Will Always Love You,' the 1974 Dolly Parton classic that took on a new life with Whitney Houston's 1992 cover for The Bodyguard film.
'I'm gonna preface [this] with no one should ever sing this song, but I got tricked one time,' Clarkson laughed to the July 11 crowd, explaining how Parton herself had requested that Kelly cover the enduring hit during a Dolly tribute at the 2022 ACM Awards. Clarkson also said that her version is a 'marriage' of Parton's original with Houston's cover. 'You can tell by some of my runs. I've been taking a little run here, a little run there from [Whitney], because I grew up on her. These are two of my favorite musical influences, and it's such a beautiful song.'
For night 2, Clarkson tackled another song she's previously performed: 'Beggin',' originally recorded by The Four Seasons in 1967 and famously covered by Italian rock band Måneskin in 2017, was also a Kellyoke pick on The Kelly Clarkson Show in March 2024.
Clarkson's 'Studio Sessions' residency — her second stint in Vegas, after her 'Chemistry' run at PH Live in Planet Hollywood back in 2023 — has dates at Caesars Palace through Nov. 15. Below, find an updating list of every Kellyoke cover Clarkson performs during her new residency.

‘The Naked Gun': First Reactions From the Premiere

It's been a 31-year wait, but the latest addition to The Naked Gun franchise is finally here. Full critics' reviews for the film drop on Wednesday, but fans of the classic spoof comedy franchise can breathe a huge sigh of relief, as the early social media reaction from Monday's New York premiere and press screenings is extremely effusive. The new iteration of The Naked Gun, stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Police Squad legend Frank Drebin, played in the franchise's previous projects by the late Leslie Nielsen. Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, Danny Huston, Liza Koshy, Cody Runnels and CCH Pounder round out the cast. More from The Hollywood Reporter Stormtrooper Helmet From 'Star Wars: A New Hope' Sells for $256K at Auction Hollywood Flashback: Before 'The Naked Gun,' 'Police Squad!' Took Its Shot Wolf Kasteler Public Relations Promotes Allie Jenkins and Chelsea Hayes to Senior VP The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer directs the reboot and Seth MacFarlane produces a project that Paramount has had in the works for decades. The film franchise is based on the 1982 ABC television series Police Squad!, a spoof on police procedural dramas that introduced Nielsen as Drebin and was co-created and written by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker. Though the TV show was short-lived, the creative team reunited for the first feature in the franchise, 1988's The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. Two more sequels were released: The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear in 1991 and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult in 1994. The Naked Gun will be released in theaters worldwide on Aug. 1.

Perspective: Why are we telling women that motherhood will make them miserable?

'Her tired mind surveyed her luck — a home, the children, Adam. In so many ways it was her dream.' But Coralie was not happy. 'Something was wrong,' thinks the protagonist in the new acclaimed novel 'Consider Yourself Kissed.' 'Mother, writer, worker, sister, friend, citizen, daughter, (sort of) wife. If she could be one, perhaps she could manage. Trying to be all, she found that she was none.' Thus begins yet another installment in the litany of recent fiction and nonfiction devoted to modern women's grievances. (A most tiresome, albeit more explicit version of this story, called 'All Fours,' came out a few months earlier.) Coralie begins as a single woman sad about being alone. Then she becomes a woman living with a man she loves and his daughter. But then she is sad they do not have a child of their own. And then she is sad they do not have a second child. And then she is sad because with three children, she doesn't have enough time to pursue her writing career. And her husband doesn't pitch in enough. And he works too much, but also she wants to spend more time with her kids, so he needs to work more. And she needs to spend time away from him in order to rediscover her true self. 'How could the world … be made fair,' she wonders, 'when two people who loved each other couldn't even manage a life?' Maybe the world isn't 'fair,' but Coralie's life is hardly evidence of that. And is this really the question that upper-middle-class educated women with husbands and children and nice houses need to be asking about themselves? But all of these complaints about husbands and children and work are not restricted to individual grievances, because, well, that might seem petty. Instead, they are complaints about the system, about the institution of marriage, capitalism, the patriarchy … you name it. If you want to read the nonfiction version of these complaints, look no further than two recent features in The New York Times. The first, from a couple of months ago, was a video series called 'Motherhood Should Come With a Warning Label.' More than 2,000 women responded to a request from the paper to 'tell us about your journey to motherhood.' The women in these videos are angry. They are angry that they had less successful careers as a result of time spent with their children. They are angry that they have less money in their retirement accounts, that their partners didn't suffer similar consequences. It is excruciating to listen to all these women talk about how the system is stacked against them, despite the fact that many of them have good jobs and loving families. And one can only imagine how young women at the start of their adult lives must feel about hearing all this. Which brings us to the second New York Times feature, published last week, 'The Trouble With Wanting Men.' Unlike the earlier piece, this one was focused less on the career frustrations and more on the men they are stuck with. 'Men are what is rotten in the state of straightness,' Jean Garnett writes. 'And why shouldn't we have an all-inclusive byword for our various pessimisms about them? Domestic pessimism (they still do less of the housework and child care); partner-violence pessimism (femicide is still gruesomely routine); erotic pessimism …' etc. etc. Even the 'good, sweet men,' Garnett notes, are really not very helpful. She laments: 'Most of us can neither renounce our heterosexuality nor realize a significant renegotiation of its terms.' How is a 20-year-old woman supposed to take this? You might assume that the solution is just to forgo finding a partner or having children. It's not just that it's heartache, because even the most naïve young woman 20 or 50 or 100 years ago would be aware of the potential for unhappiness or even tragedy when she decided to put down roots. It's that the whole system is out to get you. Sure, it may seem as if women have made progress, but these novelists and journalists are here to tell you that you are destined for misery. The result is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of finding someone you love earlier and trying to build a family together, you will put your career first, rejecting multiple decent, loving men because it's too early to settle down. If and when you finally do enter a partnership and have kids, you will walk around with a chip on your shoulder wondering why you have to cut back on work to be with your kids — even though chances are you actually do want to be with your kids more. You will blame this all on your partner or your boss or the world. Rinse and repeat. Part of growing up is realizing that we have autonomy, that our life outcomes are not just a product of structural forces acting on us. In reality, women have a lot of choices open to them, but there are only a few that will genuinely make them happy. Instead of giving them the message that they are destined to be miserable and it's someone else's fault, maybe we could find a fictional or nonfictional portrait of a woman who manages to find fulfillment in an imperfect world.

WWE Raw results, highlights (July 28): Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed destroy Roman Reigns, Jey Uso

The go-home edition of "WWE Raw" before SummerSlam burned the house down in Detroit with some unexpectedly creative angles and matches. That's not to say we didn't encounter some of the typical weekly nonsense, but this was as good as it gets for a weekly offering on a Monday night. Bookended by bollocks I can't be the only one who feels like Jey Uso's realignment with Roman Reigns is one of the bigger revisions of history in recent memory. At least that's how Uso's typical, sweaty, winded promo came off as he failed to counter Paul Heyman, laying out the truth about The Bloodline's history and how Reigns treated him. It's remarkable how Seth Rollins' justified reasoning for "heel" work over the past year has quickly permeated Heyman's character. The more you peel back this onion, these guys really are more anti-heroes than they're supposed to be, or are portrayed. Honestly, the whole segment was ramble-heavy from both men, but was an appetizer for the most obviously predictable DQ main event imaginable: Uso vs. Bronson Reed. The match was pretty solid until Bron Breakker just ran out to spear Uso and force Uso's DQ win. Seriously, what's even the point, man? Not just with these consistent, stupid DQ endings, but specifically with Rollins' crew, who evidently don't care about winning matches whatsoever unless implications are on the line. Why wouldn't Breakker just attack immediately? There's zero logic behind him waiting and giving his man a chance to lose or take damage. It's dumb, and I'm becoming a broken record at this point. Reigns predictably made the save, as he was advertised for the show and wasn't seen once until the match started. It was just a tease for the SummerSlam tag team match, closing with Breakker looking like a monster when he hit a double spear through the barricade. However, let's address a different problem that has come from the Rollins injury fallout. Missing man LA Knight has been completely screwed. He's gone. Where is he? Since Knight got essentially buried in the World Heavyweight Championship contender gauntlet match after Saturday Night's Main Event, he's been off television. Rumor has it that he was lined up for a big rematch against Rollins at SummerSlam to get his redemption. So, first of all, seeing his absence should debunk any conspiracies about the legitimacy of Rollins' injury and a surprise SummerSlam cash-in. If that ends up happening, and Knight is just diverged away from with that plan, I don't know how he doesn't walk out of the company from what would be a complete and utter mishandling. Even as we stand now, not having Knight on TV at all is mishandling of the highest order. Sure, it's not his fault that things have unfolded this way, but man. How do you leave one of the most over acts on your roster off TV when they heated up so much after you booked them pretty damn well? All hope — at least for SummerSlam — appears lost for the "Megastar." The start and the end of this "Raw" were mostly all that was bad about it, though. Let's get into all the good that was the rest of the show. 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 I am so wildly impressed and satisfied with the level of creativity we saw in the first match on this "Raw." This is what happens when Triple H tries. We get the Uncrowned Gem of the Night, this time in the form of AJ Styles and The Kabuki Warriors vs. The Judgement Day's Dominick Mysterio, Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Mixed tag team matches are always somewhat of a tricky area to navigate, but this was a first. One male with two female teammates is something I can't recall. At least not recently. The dynamic of having the genders only able to go against each other makes this a puzzle, but this was handled surprisingly well, and all built to get Styles tagged in for a massive pop when he got his hands on Mysterio. After that, there was even some creative trios offense to finish the match, when Styles absolutely launched Kairi Sane over the ropes into Rodriguez. He followed it with the Phenomenal Forearm on Mysterio to get the win. It was far from the best match you'll ever see due to the restrictions, but with those in place, it was pretty damn perfect. This was fun and worked so, so well. 😅 Miscalculation of the Night Taking Lyra Valkyria seriously with her big, silly shoes on was going to be impossible until she addressed them as her "Becky Stompers." I laughed. Overall, she delivered a good promo before it descended into silliness when Becky Lynch's music hit. Lynch never appeared, which made it obvious she would do a sneak attack. But instead, Lynch just kind of bumbled around by the apron with a kendo stick before Valkyria used her spidey senses to detect Lynch and run the ropes to kick her in the head. Then Lynch just took a plethora of shots from the kendo stick without any defense, as she watched them all come her way. Listen, this was undeniably hilarious, but I'm not sure it was bad. It didn't make Valkyria look dumb, like it trended towards. It was actually quite the opposite because Lynch just decided to hang out near the ring. It wasn't good, but I don't know. The feud has obviously been exhausted, and the trilogy title match will be great. 👍 MONDAY NIGHT MONEY 👍 1. WWE opened "Raw" with another tribute to Hulk Hogan, as it was the first Monday show since the legend's passing. Rather than just repeating the one from Friday on "SmackDown," this was a different, and equally great highlight video. The Detroit crowd also seemed much more receptive with its cheers than the Cleveland crowd was. 2. Sheamus defeated Grayson Waller with the Brogue Kick in a fine match. It wasn't quite a squash, but it wasn't that competitive either. Ultimately, it was a vehicle to continue the Sheamus-Rusev, as Rusev tried to cost Sheamus the win but failed before attacking afterward. If interference is going to happen, do it this way. There was no need for shenanigans to ruin that match of all matches, anyway. A Sheamus-Rusev best-of-seven works for me. 3. In Rollins' absence, it looks like Breakker is starting to take over in that leader role of the group. He suddenly isn't a barking bozo henchman anymore, and that's great to see. He already feels legit acting as a leader. 4. After the lackluster Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross rematch, the pair delivered a phenomenal backstage interview segment with Kross continuing to tease Zayn to show his true colors. These guys are so great together that it almost feels like they should have a never-ending thing going similar to Rollins and Punk. Regardless, hopefully, we get an epic — brief — conclusion at SummerSlam. 5. I'm not really sure what to make of Bayley's admission of directionlessness. It's hard to imagine she won't play some part in Lynch vs. Valkyria, but if we didn't know better, this felt like a pre-departure promo. Ultimately, Bayley's emotion was palpable through the screen, leaving us with intrigue about what was next. 6. Stephanie Vaquer hit the SVB on Chelsea Green (with The Secret Hervice and Naomi) to get the win for her team, including Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky and Nikki Bella. This was essentially an all-stars vs. the champion and modern-day J.O.B. Squad match. There was zero chance of Naomi's team winning, but an easy element to play off of would have been the fact that Ripley, Sky and Vaquer are all enemies within the title scene. It didn't matter, though. The match was surprisingly good and had some great spots, like Piper Niven taking out Sky and Bella after doing Sky's taunt. That led to her facing off with Ripley before the finish. More than anything, this was yet another big Vaquer showcase, as her hot tag led to her taking out all four of her opponents. She's being set up so perfectly as a future long-reigning champion. It doesn't matter who comes out of SummerSlam as the Women's World Champion. The winner is keeping that belt warm until Clash In Paris. I'm thoroughly convinced. One little closer note, it was nice to see Naomi not act like a coward champion when she started the match against Ripley. 🤷 IT HAPPENED 🤷 1. The Judgment Day defended their World Tag Team titles against LWO. It was a stellar match, as expected, but was way more overbooked than anticipated and unnecessary. El Grande "Amerikaiser" ran to the ring purely to get into it with Dragon Lee before another masked man cost LWO the match. As much as I love Ludwig Kaiser, Chad Gable's injury really dampened the silly nature of the Americano character, and it's just "meh" with Kaiser under the mask. It doesn't help that he could be doing better things as himself. 2. Gunther and CM Punk had another promo battle. Before it started, I couldn't help but think about how awfully booked Gunther has been since WrestleMania 41. He doesn't even wrestle on "Raw" anymore. Anyway, the promo battle was good and intense, but something stuck out that didn't quite land. Punk essentially ripped off Eddie Guerrero's classic "addicted" promo on Brock Lesnar. Why this didn't work was because of where they were in their careers at the time of delivery. Guerrero had yet to be a world champion, whereas Punk has literally been there and done that. He doesn't need to be a champion at all, and his current run has proven that, yet that's what he declared in the face of Gunther. 👑 "SmackDown" is getting the short end of the booking stick lately because "Raw" seems to have more of the consistent goods, and this show was no exception. I give this "Raw" a Crown score of: 9/10. 👑
