According to E! Online, Kelly Clarkson has hired Reba McEntire's husband to be her new manager. Narvel Blackstock, CEO of Starstruck Entertainment, has been managing Reba since 1988 and married the country singer in 1989. He takes over Clarkson's management just weeks after Kelly fired Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm over creative differences.

 

Blackstock released a statement saying:

 

 

Kelly is an incredible talent with an unlimited future. We are thrilled to be working with her.
