An insider has categorically shot down the swirl of speculation that Pink would be taking over as host of The Show.
Clarkson announced last month that her NBC talk-show will end later this year so that she could 'prioritize my kids' River, 11, and Remy, nine - a move that came after their father Brandon Blackstock died of last August at the age of 48.
Rumors reached a fever pitch that Pink, who recently guest-hosted the show for a week when Clarkson was away, will slide into her seat, via Page Six.
However a source has now exclusively informed the Daily Mail: 'The rumors of her “taking over” The Kelly Clarkson Show are now officially DEAD after NBC Universal .'
NBC Universal announced the closure of its first-run syndication division earlier this week, scuttling shows like Access Hollywood in the process.
However the Daily Mail's source also confirmed the conjecture about the 48-year-old's actual next move - a potential residency at the Sphere .
The Daily Mail has contacted Pink's representatives for comment.

'There will be NO replacement for Kelly, especially Pink,' explained the insider. 'The show is DONE at the end of this season. No replacements.'
The source then shared that the Sphere's bosses had been 'after' Pink 'for several years,' believing that 'with her aerial stunts and hits-packed catalogue she could be the PERFECT act to do a show there for years and years.'

Pink recently denied claims she has split from her racing driver husband Carey Hart, whom she has been married to for 20 years and is pictured with at Wimbledon last year
'After plans for a Harry Styles residency did not come about after years of trying, all feel that Pink could be the perfect act to keep the venue on their hot streak,' an insider has now explained to the Daily Mail.
