Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Dolly Parton and this week’s Variety cover star Kelly Clarkson have collaborated on a new version of Dolly’s hit “9 to 5,” ahead of the “Still Working 9 to 5” documentary that premieres on Sept. 16. The pair teamed up with the film’s executive producer Shane McAnally, Sasha Sloan & King Henry to, as the announcement states, “reimagine the classic song into a melancholic yet inspirational anthem over 40 years after the original’s release as the fight for workplace equality persists.” Written and recorded by Dolly Parton and produced by Gregg Berry, the original “9 to 5” debuted in 1980 in tandem with the film of the same name starring Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. The song went on to receive an Academy Award nomination for Original Song and four Grammy nominations – winning two of the latter for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
Kelly Clarkson Reveals She Spent the Summer With Ex Brandon Blackstock and Kids at Their Montana Ranch: It’s ‘Been a Rough Couple Years’
23.08.2022 - 19:15 / usmagazine.com
Putting their family first! After finalizing her divorce, Kelly Clarkson offered a glimpse at her coparenting approach with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
“It’s obviously been a rough couple years so it was really important to me to, like, shut down for a minute,” Clarkson, 40, told Today on Tuesday, August 23, about taking daughter River, 8, and son Remi, 6, to Montana for the summer. “I literally four-wheeled in the mountains, and I have a lot of water on my property so my sister, my nephew and I, and a couple friends just spent the whole summer in the mountains, just hanging out in nature.”
The singer noted that Blackstock, 45, joined them on the trip, adding, “The kids were with me and with their dad. It was nice because they usually have to travel a lot because of our separation so we were both in Montana so, it was the first time I think my kids felt more centered as well.”
The Texas native’s comments come after her divorce was settled earlier this year. Clarkson originally filed the legal paperwork in June 2020 following nearly seven years of marriage. In the documents obtained by Us Weekly, the American Idol winner cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
The former couple, who tied the knot in 2013 after dating for two years, ended up in a lengthy legal battle over their Montana property. Amid the proceedings, Clarkson filed a separate motion requesting to be declared legally single in July 2021. She was granted the request two months later.
The host of The Kelly Clarkson Show was later ordered to pay Blackstock nearly $200,000 per month, including temporary payments of $150,000 each month in spousal support. Clarkson, who was granted primary custody of their kids, has also been paying an extra
