Kelly Clarkson says the prizes she expected after winning the first season of "American Idol" never actually arrived, claiming the show promised rewards that didn't match what she ultimately received.

The 43-year-old singer made the revelation during a recent episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where she spoke with actor Daniel Radcliffe and reality winner Rob Rausch about prize money and the strange wait some contestants face after television victories.

Rausch noted he still has not received the $220,800 he earned for winning Season 4 of "The Traitors," prompting Clarkson to say she could relate "so hardcore" to the situation.

According to Clarkson, early promotions for "American Idol" suggested the champion would walk away with a $1 million reward. But she said the reality was different, explaining that the figure represented industry investment rather than a direct payout.

"They were like, 'You win a million dollars,'" Clarkson recalled, adding that she later learned the amount was essentially support for launching her career rather than a check placed in her bank account.

Ozzy Osbourne's legacy lives on.

Seven months after the Black Sabbath vocalist died at the age of 76 from Parkinson's disease, his and Sharon Osbourne's son Jack Osbourne welcomed a baby daughter with wife Aree Gearhart, and the couple named her Ozzy Matilda Osbourne.

In his March 11 Instagram post, Jack reported that little Ozzy was born on March 5 and weighed 7 pounds and 12 ounces. The child even slept with a toy bat plushie, an apparent homage to his late father biting the head off a bat while performing onstage in 1982.

Aree, for her part, published the footage on Instagram Stories with the caption, "Our Ozzy Matilda Osbourne has landed earthside." Plus, the mother-daughter duo bonded in matching pink pajamas in another snapshot.

The Pussycat Dolls have announced a reunion as a trio, confirming new music and a global tour more than a decade after the group went their separate ways. Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt have come together once again, releasing a new single titled Club Song while also unveiling plans for a major international tour.

The comeback arrives years after an earlier attempt to reunite the group was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic and a legal dispute. Now, the trio says the timing feels right to return to the stage.

Wyatt described the reunion as "an incredible thing to be able to do after 20 years", while Scherzinger said that "the timing of everything was just perfect".

The track Club Song, produced by Mike Sabath and co-written with Scherzinger, Caroline Ailin and Solly, marks the group's first single since 2020's React. Scherzinger also celebrates the group's return in the song itself, declaring: "PCD, baby... we're back!"

Alongside the new release, the group will embark on the 53-date "PCD Forever" world tour, which will begin in North America in June before moving to Europe and the United Kingdom later in the year.
