Kelly Clarkson was recently ordered to pay nearly $200,000 in support to her estranged husband each month, but according to a new report, the situation is only temporary. A judge in Los Angeles handed down the order on Tuesday (July 27) that Clarkson would pay Brandon Blackstock $150,000 in spousal support and $45,601 in child support each month.

Yellowstone star and singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham has listed his California estate for $2.45 million, just weeks after filing for divorce. Bingham and his now-estranged wife, Anna Axster, bought their 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 2,394-square-foot home in an exclusive area of Los Angeles for $1.36 million in 2013, according to property records. The breathtaking property was originally built in 1947, and the listing from Michelle St. Clair-Zsakany with Sotheby's International Realty touts the home's "European and mid-century modern sensibilities," describing the main residence as "stylish, upscale, modern yet cozy, peaceful, happy, light and bright."

Seems like we just celebrated the first day of summer, but it's already time to start thinking about the first day back to school and this year will be a full year in class. For some kids (and their parents), though, that isn't all that happy a thought. Not just because it means summer is winding down, but because they're not sure how they're going to get enough supplies together to be ready for classes.

Alleged. Allegedly. It's important the police use words like this because you are innocent until proven guilty. And I'm good with that. I also hate cliches, but where there's smoke there's fire! When I was growing up, if my dad smelled smoke a hundred and fifty miles away, I was probably the source of the fire! (Sometimes he was right, but damn). But parents today have a harder time taking control of their children, it seems. Case in point this alleged graffiti artist. Pasco police report that he allegedly sprayed graffiti and then ran into someone's house or apartment to avoid police. The alleged punk is 15 years old with hair like Sideshow Bob according to police. They found spray paint cans and a red hoodie with spray paint on it as evidence. That is not alleged, it's a fact!

The weed commonly known as spurge has gone crazy in the Mid-Columbia this year. It has always haunted our lawns and gardens, but it's worse for some reason this year. Some say it's due to the irrigation water, others say it's because of the unusually hot summer. Either way, this nasty weed has to go! And you don't even need a lawn to have it invade your property, a sidewalk or gravel area will do this nasty little guy just fine. It can grow anywhere, in beautiful lawns or in a crack in the pavement. They pull up easily but are quick to return as they lay seeds everywhere. I think everyone I've talked to about spurge is amazed at how fast it grows. It won't be there one day, and the next day it will be 6 to 10 inches in diameter. This stuff is especially bad for livestock as it is poisonous! That goes for humans too. There are several products on the market to help you keep your spurge population down. Make sure the weed control you are using mentions spurge on the label and includes a pre-emergent for those darned seeds. Below you will find a couple of helpful YouTube videos I found. One of them helps you identify the difference between the very poisonous spurge and an edible weed that looks similar. There are also different kinds of spurge, ours is the low-growing spurge. But spurge can be tall growing also! No, thank you on the tall stuff! Good luck with your battle...I've been losing mine so far.

Does Martina McBride have a favorite Martina McBride song? Does she prefer red wine or white? And what in the world does she have to do with NASCAR?. McBride isn't a particularly private person -- she's been in the public eye for years and maintains an active Twitter presence -- but there's always more to learn about the "Just Around the Corner" singer. Even for the ultimate McBride fan, it seems as though there's a surprising fact or two to discover about the country star.

If there is one thing my co-worker, Woody and I agree on and anticipate each year, it is the taste and satisfaction of a big fat, homegrown tomato! Usually he has an abundance of maters and is always very generous with his crop. However this year is different, he has brought me NONE! I thought maybe I had been cut off! Maybe I had insulted his wardrobe on a rough Monday or he found out I backed into his truck! Come to find out he just doesn't have any yet. Whew!

Walt Disney World and Disneyland will once again require face masks in certain areas of the parks as COVID-19 cases continue to increase throughout the country.
