Miranda Lamberthas a soft spot for rescued animals. The Heart Like Mine singer and wife of Blake Shelton recently posted this Twitpic of the couple’s new dog, Emmy Lou, that they found.
“Ok ok I know I need to stop,” Lambert tweeted on Wednesday along with the photo. “But she was in a ditch!”
Emmy Lou joins another stray named Ophelia that Miranda brought home last October. Continue reading
Good news for fans of NBC’s hit The Voice: All four judges are reported to have inked deals for a third season of the show which will air this fall.
From the looks of it, half of the judges on NBC’s hit show The Voice get along really well together. Here is a picture of Adam Levine and Blake Shelton partying it up in Oklahoma on New Year’s Eve. Also photographed are Adam’s girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna, Blake’s wife, Miranda Lambert and Kelly Clarkson?! Continue reading
The Voice runner-up Dia Frampton seemed like the shyest person on the planet (next to Xenia, of course) but she claims that’s just not the case.
On performing Heartless in the Quarterfinals and being compared to how Kris Allen covered the same song during Season 8 of American Idol:
“Honestly, I still don’t know who Kris Allen is. I haven’t watched Idol since Kelly Clarkson’s year, when I was a lot younger. [People] did tell me The Fray had done a cover, and Blake actually was the one who said, ‘Have you heard it? You could kind of go off of that.’
On appearing shy on TV:
GREAT NEWS! We don’t have to speculate for months as to who will judge the next season of NBC’s hit show, The Voice, like we have been with American Idol recently. Season 1’s Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will all return next season!
Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of NBC, said: “Our fantastic coaches were integral to the tremendous success of The Voice this year and we are thrilled that they are all returning. We look forward to building season two and making The Voice an even greater experience for fans.”
Javier Colon was The Voice‘s first winner and the show will return in January to go head to head with American Idol for its season 2.
Team Cee Lo Green’s Vicci Martinez performed her original song, Afraid to Sleep, produced by Butch Walker, on NBC’s The Voice finale Tuesday night (June 28).

Team Adam Levine’s Javier Colon sang first on Tuesday (June 28) night’s The Voice finale on NBC. Javier performed an original song produced by Rodney Jenkins, Stitch by Stitch, and dedicated the song to his family.
Blake Shelton was left in awe of him and said he has a lot of respect for him. Christina said his execution was really good. Cee Lo Green said the song belonged to Javier. Adam was chocked up at the thought of the amazing career waiting for Javier. Both Adam and Blake spoke of how much of a genuinely nice guy Javier is.
Call (855) 864-2301 to vote tonight for Javier.
Javier has a great chance to win the whole thing – not only has he been the front runner since day one, one of his biggest fans, Justin Bieber, has been Tweeting all day today and yesterday asking his 10.6 million Twitter followers to vote for Javier.
Watch Javier’s performance below:
Wednesday (6/22) night, The Voice eliminated four more singers and sent four hopefuls to the finals. At the start of the show, we still had the following in contention:
Team Christina Aguilera: Frenchie Davis, Beverly McClellan
Team Adam Levine: Javier Colon, Casey Weston
Team Cee Lo Green: Vicci Martinez, Nakia
Team Blake Shelton: Xenia, Dia Frampton
The judges had 100 points to divide between each of the two remaining contestants on their team. That score was combined with fan votes to see who would be safe and who would be voted off and eliminated tonight.
RESULTS:
Team Cee Lo: Vicci wins over Nakia
Cee Lo gave 51 points to Nakia and 49 to Vicci
When the fan votes were added in, Vicci had a total score of 124 and Nakia 76
Team Adam: Javier wins over Casey
Team Blake: Dia wins over Xenia
Team Christina: Beverly wins over Frenchie
Christina split her votes evenly and gave each 50
When the fan votes were added in, Beverly had a total score of 107 and Frenchie 93
Adam Levine saved Casey Weston over his initial gut choice of Jeff Jenkins on Tuesday night’s semi-final episode of The Voice and then coached her into a very controlled rendition of I Will Always Love You – a song covered by two music legends, Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston.
Levine and Weston butted heads in rehearsals: He wanted her to stay away from the iconic versions of the song and create her own and stopped her several times to make sure she stayed on track. Weston said: “I am not trying (to be Whitney). I am just trying to be Casey and sing the way I know how to sing.”
The judges loved her. Blake Shelton gave her a back-handed compliment: “I never expect you to blow me away, but you always do!” Levine said: “This performance proves that our arguments pay off, because you were amazing, and thank you!”
Vicci Martinez ended The Voice Tuesday night (June 21) with a show-stopping rendition of Florence and the Machine’s Dog Days Are Over.
Pounding two drums and sporting an ’80s white outfit and a big pompadour-type hairdo, she got a standing ovation from the crowd.
As for Vicci’s Coach Cee Lo Green, he said: “I’m so excited for you, I’m sitting on the edge of my seat. You’re right, the dog days are over for you, the future is so bright for you, my darling!”
UPDATE: All the videos of the performance have been pulled off of YouTube. But you can hear it in the video below:
