Imagine you marry your manager. Then the marriage doesn't work out and then on top of everything you realize he was fleecing you as a manager!
Kelly Clarkson's ex husband Brandon Blackstock reportedly overcharged her by millions when he represented the pop star as her manager.
A California labor commissioner ruled Blackstock, 46, 'unlawfully' booked jobs for Clarkson - including inking her deal as a judge on The Voice - while employed as her manager, as only agents can secure roles for talent, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Blackstock collected fees for booking The Voice and other endorsements like Wayfair and Norwegian Cruise Line in the amount of $2,641,374, per the outlet.
The labor commissioner ordered Blackstock to return the commissions -- which includes the $1.98 million for The Voice gig --to his ex-wife.
The outlet reported that Blackstock said he will appeal the decision.

Late Show host Stephen Colbert suffered a ruptured appendix last week and required emergency surgery. While he recovers, the show will go dark.
"I'm sure you're thinking, 'Turkey overdose, Steve? Gravy boat capsize?' Actually, I'm recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix," Colbert said in social media posts. "I'm grateful to my doctors for their care and to Evie and the kids for putting up with me. Going forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas."
A ruptured appendix, also known as a burst appendix, spreads infection throughout the abdomen, a condition called peritonitis. The condition can be life threatening. It requires immediate surgery to remove the appendix and clean the abdominal cavity.
There was no new show scheduled for Monday night, but Colbert had been set to feature Jennifer Garner, director Baz Luhrmann and guitarist John Scofield on Tuesday; Patrick Stewart and Jon Batiste on Wednesday, and Barbra Streisand and Kelsey Grammer on Thursday.

No one wants to see Rihanna raising her babies alone, but A$AP Rocky will have to answer to charges that may land him in jail.
A Los Angeles judge ruled Monday that the rapper must stand trial on charges he fired a gun at a former friend back in November of 2021.
"I am certain Rocky will be vindicated of all of this," the rapper's lawyer Joe Tacopina said outside the courthouse.
During the hearing, Detective Frank Flores took the stand and new surveillance video was unveiled, in addition to what was shown at the previous hearing earlier this month. In the new footage, two loud pops, which the prosecution team said is the alleged shooting, were heard but not seen.
Flores confirmed he reviewed the footage in his investigation and Rocky, 35, had a gun in his hand during the altercation. Under cross examination, however, he revealed the gun was never recovered. Meanwhile, the two shell casings that were recovered from the scene by Relli (real name Terell Ephron) and turned into police two days later had no fingerprints.
The "Praise the Lord" rapper's trial is set to begin on Jan. 8.

One of Hollywoods hottest couples is about to expand their family by one!
Model Suki Waterhouse at the Coronoa Capital Festival in Mexico Sunday when she took the stage to make a special announcement.
In a fan-captured video posted on Tiktok, Waterhouse — dressed in a glittery pink minidress, a feathery coat, fringe-trimmed boots and glittery tights — said, "I'm extra sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that's going on."
She proceeded to flap open her coat to reveal a baby bump, as the crowd erupted in cheers.
"I'm not sure if it's working," she jokingly added before beginning her music performance.
The couple have dated since 2019 and began living together when the pandemic hit and people started podding up.

SNL alumn Dana Carvey is morning the death of his son Dex today after news broke that the 32 year old died at his Los Angeles home of an apparent drug overdose.
In a statement shared on Instagram on Thursday, Carvey, 68, and his wife Paula Zwagerman announced Dex died on Wednesday evening.
“Last night we suffered a terrible tragedy,” the post began.
“Dex packed a lot into those 32 years. He was extremely talented at so many things--music, art, film making, comedy--and pursued all of them passionately,” they said. “It's not an exaggeration to say that Dex loved life.”
“And when you were with him, you loved life too," their statement continued. "He made everything fun. But most of all, he loved his family, his friends and his girlfriend, Kaylee. Dex was a beautiful person. His handmade birthday cards are a treasure. We will miss him forever.”
“To anyone struggling with addiction or who loves someone struggling with addiction, you are in our hearts and prayers. Dana & Paula.”
Dana seemed determined to not let the tabloids have the official say on the tragic news posting to instagram later in the day, "F--- the tabloids. This is my boy," he wrote.

It's been just over two weeks since Matthew Perry died of an apparent heart attack/drowning in his hot tub at his home in Los Angeles. Since then we heard from several people in the business, but nothing from the "Friends" themselves as they were likely deep in mourning.
Then this week each of the friends took to instagram to share their thoughts on the tragic death and Jen Aniston shared a touching text Matt sent her where he said "Making you laugh made my day. Made my day." Along with a photo of the two (in their younger years) laughing on the set of Friends.
Along with the text, Jen shared these thoughts, "Oh boy this one has cut deep... Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep. And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be. For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn't hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all. (See the second slide…) Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying “could you BE any crazier?” Rest little brother. You always made my day… "

Adam Johnson only played a year with the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins when he was traded off to a team in Europe called the Nottingham Panthers.
He was playing with his team in October when a player on the opposing team accidentally (by all accounts at the time) slashed Adams throat with his skate blade.
This has happened before, but it's usually goalies due to all the commotion around the net and that they tend to keep their heads low to the ground to see the puck. But this is the first time charges have been raised over such a death.
Detective Chief Superintendent Becs Horsfall said the investigation "launched immediately following this tragedy," and the department has "been carrying out extensive inquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances,” per the Washington Post.
Horsfall said the investigation has support from the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council and that his team has been "speaking to highly specialized experts in their field to assist in our inquiries" in the statement.
And while the suspects name is not listed due to UK laws, we already know that the opponent is Matt Petgrave. So I assume he's the suspect.

Still fresh from mourning Matthew Perry, the entertainment world is hit by another sudden death.
Kevin Turen, who produced both Euphora and The Idol, was confirmed dead Sunday night by his father, Edward Turen in a statement to Deadline.com.
'Kevin was so incredibly special, this world is going to be less without him,' Edward Turen said in his statement.
Jay Penske, CEO of Deadline's parent company PMC and a close personal friend of Turen, also released a statement.
'Despite his many achievements in Hollywood, Kevin’s greatest passion was his family and friends,' Penske's statement began.
No word on cause of death. Kevin is survived by his wife of 11 years Evelina and their children.
Turen's death is sadly the second tragedy to strike HBO's Euphoria this year, following the tragic passing of star Angus Cloud.
The actor, who played loveable drug dealer Fezco in the beloved series, passed away at just 25 years of age due to an accidental overdose involving many different drugs.
