Adam Levine & Girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna Pose Nude For Russian Vogue

Adam Levine hates clothes. How do I know? Well, it’s pretty obvious since he is always posing naked.

Not that anyone is complaining, mind you.

Adam has stripped down again, this time for Russian Vogue, but he didn’t do it alone. His girlfriend, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Anne Vyalitsyna, joined him in the fun.

Vyalitsyna has also appeared in Maroon 5‘s music videos for Misery and Never Gonna Leave This Bed.

I don’t have a clue what the article is about, but the pics are pretty cool!

Adam Levine To MTV: “F YOU!”

WOW! Something tells me Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine does not like MTV.

Levine tweeted Saturday: “The VMAs. One day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I’m drawing a line in the sand. F*ck you, VMAs.”

The network obviously had to say something in response to the popular judge and mentor of The Voice, so, they took to Twitter as well and asked Levine: “Soooo you’ll be tuning in at 9/8C tomorrow right? (BTW, bonus points if you TwitPic your 2004 Moonman!).”

Adam responded at first by Tweeting, “Still waiting to have my ‘Jerry Maguire mission statement moment of deep regret.’ Not happening. Phew!” But after some cooling down, Levine also Tweeted, “I may be a pop singer. But every once in a while the angsty teenager in me just blurts out some raw honesty. It’s a reflex.”  Well, guess he didn’t really cool down because he still stuck to his gun.

Adam Levine Slams American Idol For “Masking” Gay Contestants

The Voice judge and Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine can’t stand some things about his competition American Idol and in an interview with gay magazine Out, Levine, who has a gay brother, slammed AI for making its contestants allegedly “mask” their sexuality.

“What’s always pissed me off about ‘Idol’ is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken,” he said. “C’mon. You can’t be publicly gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can’t hide basic components of these people’s lives. The fact that ‘The Voice’ didn’t have any qualms about being completely about it is a great thing.”

The Voice
featured several gay contestants on the show whereas gay contestants on Idol had to wait until after the competition to come out with their sexuality. Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, for example, admitted he was forced by FOX to keep his sexuality under wraps while filming season 8.

“It was hard for me because I wasn’t able to talk,” Lambert said. “So I was sitting there, going, I can’t really put in my two cents. It felt out of control, and feeling out of control is scary.”

Levine said: “I can single-handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality is acquired. Trust me, you’re born with it. My brother is gay, and we knew when he was two. We all knew.” 

Javier Colon Owes A Big ‘Thank You’ To Justin Bieber For The Win!

Javier Colon was named the first ever winner of The Voice Wednesday night but he still can’t believe it’s for real.

Colon told Celebuzz in a post-win interview that he thought he had lost and was ready to congratulate co-finalist Dia Frampton when Carson Daly announced his name instead.

That’s fascinating considering his amazing talent, his favored status since day one, and his captivating stage presence, all of which was only amplified by the fact that Justin Bieber Tweeted to his then 10.6 million followers several times to vote for Colon in The Voice finale.

And if that weren’t enough, Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, also got behind the Twitter campaign and asked his almost 900K fans to do the same.

Despite such massive and unparalleled support for any of the other three finalists, Colon wasn’t convinced he’d win. “I was 100 percent in my mind, I was ready and prepared for Carson to say, ‘And the winner of The Voice is Dia Frampton.’ I was going to be okay with that because I absolutely love Dia. She is amazing and deserved a win as much as we all did,” Colon told Celebuzz.

OK, so, the win was unexpected for Colon, but, now, back to the possible game-changing Bieber plug–remember, only 2% of the votes separated Colon and runner-up Frampton. Did Colon know he would get the support of the second most popular celeb on Twitter before the finale? “Not at all,” Colon told Celebuzz. “Adam had played basketball with Justin at one point and knew his manager Scooter Braun, so they both tweeted out to their millions of followers to vote for me. Not sure if it was Adam’s connection to Justin or what, but he put his support behind me, and it meant a lot.”

Read the rest of Javier’s interview on Celebuzz where he talks about a collaboration with Adam Levine and Cee-Lo Green, his upcoming album and what he thinks of Dia.
What do you think of Bieber’s support? Was that cool or did it give Javier an unfair advantage over the other contestants? Did it end up being the difference in who won or do you think Javier would have won anyway? Should Javier send a “thank you gift basket” to Biber?
