"The Kelly Clarkson Show" ends after Season 7 in Fall 2026, following Clarkson’s contract expiration and her husband’s passing.

A massive chain-reaction crash involving around 150 vehicles shut down State Route 99 near Earlimart, California, after dense fog reduced visibility to about 200 feet. The pileup caused multiple injuries, mostly minor to moderate, and forced a complete closure of the highway in both directions with long delays and detours. The National Weather Service urged drivers to slow down, use headlights, and increase following distance during low-visibility conditions.
