The Kelly Clarkson Show is all about positivity and happiness — but that cheery attitude doesn’t extend behind the scenes, according to a number of current and former staff members.In an exposé shared by Rolling Stone on Friday, 10 former and one current staff member of The Kelly Clarkson Show said they were bullied and harassed by the show’s producers, some to the point of tears, vomiting and mental anguish.All 11 of the anonymous sources agreed that Clarkson, the face of the popular daytime production, is likely unaware of how more junior staff members are being treated on set. They claimed executive producer Alex Duda, who was called “a monster” by one former staffer, shields Clarkson from complaints about the “toxic” work environment Duda allegedly created.“Kelly has no clue how unhappy her staff is,” one former staffer told Rolling Stone.Another former employee described Clarkson, 41, as “fantastic.”“She is a person who never treats anyone with anything but dignity and is incredibly appreciative,” they told the outlet.Neither Clarkson nor Duda has commented publicly on the new allegations.The staffers, all of whom are said to be entertainment industry veterans, said they were underpaid, overworked and “traumatized” by the employment experience.

WestJet pilots might soon go on strike are looming over travellers who have tickets booked with the Calgary-based airline.The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the union representing WestJet pilots, who are seeking better job protections, benefits and wages that will bring them in line with their North American counterparts, is set to declare on Saturday whether a work stoppage will start 72 hours later on May 16.Pilots representing both WestJet and its discount brand Swoop voted in favour of a strike mandate in April. Earlier this week, pilots took part in an informational picket to raise awareness of their demands.John Gradek, a lecturer with McGill University’s aviation management program who’s not involved in the negotiations, says it’s a toss-up whether there will be a strike or not, with the odds seemingly changing on an hour-to-hour basis.He says there’s a “fairly large gap” between WestJet and its pilots, who are seeking a wage boost to offset what they say are some of the lowest rates of pay for pilots in North America.Though the union claims these working conditions have meant WestJet is bleeding staff to the tune of 30 pilots a month, Gradek also says meeting the demands will be “a significant cost” to the airline.WestJet, for its part, pushed back against the union’s claims in a statement released May 8.The airline asserted that its mainline pilots are among the best paid in Canada and wages shouldn’t be compared to U.S.

dozens of active wildfires burning hundreds of thousands of square kilometres across Alberta.Hot weather in the forecast has prompted some residents of Grande Prairie to prepare to leave as a wildfire burns outside the city.“If a person looks out, the kids and I are playing in the yard here and everything just seems normal, but we are fully aware that there is still a wildfire,” said Brandon Wilson, who lives just two kilometres outside of the area currently under evacuation order.The most up-to-date evacuation information can be found on the Alberta Emergency Alerts website.Wilson said when evacuations first started last week, there were long lines at gas stations in the city.He said he has put together essentials, especially for his kids, in case the family needs to leave the area on short notice.“We have a couple options and if we had to move quickly, we could,” he said, adding his family could stay in a camping trailer if needed.It’s a case of hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, he said.“I think there’s a lot of potential for this fire to get carried away still.”The upcoming hot weather, with highs in the high 20s and low 30s, is expected to fan the flames over the next few days, said Trevor Grant, the fire chief of County of Grande Prairie Fire Services.“There are still lots of smolders and areas that are unseen within the fire perimeter that may rekindle or flare up with the hot, dry conditions that could extend and cause us some more issues.”Grant said he didn’t want to speculate on what could happen over the weekend.“It all depends on what we can accomplish through the next few days and what the weather does,” he said.Bob Marshall, the reeve of the County of Grande Prairie, said the fire has moved

There’s a few things more important than a college degree, and that’s the thing she’s gotta get to," Kavalhuna said. Hudie could then be seen walking across the stage and receiving her diploma as a lullaby played in the background. "On the Tuesday before we graduated, they said that I was dilated two or three times, so that wasn’t going to stop me from walking across the stage.
