The Voice kicked off this season’s live performances Tuesday June 7 and Team Christina went head-to-head against Team Blake. Each team will lose two members after the voting is over this week.

Team Blake’s Dia Frampton performed Kanye West‘s Heartless and to calm her nerves, she also played the piano at the advice of coach Blake. 
Her performance gained a standing ovation from Blake Shelton. Christina Aguilera said Dia is sweet and cuddly, but brought out the fighter in her tonight.  Cee Lo Green said this was “the best rendition of the song” that he’s ever heard and called it original. Adam Levine said Dia’s performance was the most unique moment of the show to date. Blake agreed with everyone and said this was his favorite moment of the season so far on The Voice. To vote for Dia, call: 1-855-864-2304

The rumors of Kim Kardashian making music have become a reality.

Kim K unveiled her first single during a New Year’s Eve event in Las Vegas Friday night to a crowded nightclub audience.

Before she sang, she said, ” Sorry guys, I didn’t mean to, but I did this song with The Dream, and it’s really fun. I hope you guys like it!”

The song is called, “Turn It Up,” and the word on the street is that Kim has been working with Kanye West on the official music video.

Don’t shoot me, but I don’t think it sounds that awful, though it’s hard to tell through all the background club noise…what do you think?

Taylor Swift Named Entertainer Of The Year

Entertainment Weekly has named Taylor Swift  “Entertainer of the Year.” Congrats young lady Swift.

What made her top dog this year? She starred in a movie, Valentine’s Day, won four Grammys including album of the year, released her third record, Speak Now, which sold 1,047,000 units in its first week of release alone – the highest tally for any release in five years – and has sold out one concert arena after another. All of this before reaching her 21st birthday.

In the interview, Swift talks about tabloid rumors about her music being all about men she has dated in the past; men such as Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, and John Mayer. She says, “Sometimes I would laugh because I would see it in print and it would say, ‘This song, which is written about her ex, so-and-so…’ And they would write about it as if it was fact. 
The fact is, I haven’t ever confirmed that any song is about any particular person. There’s something kind of freeing about that. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all still up in the air.” [You notice though, she doesn’t deny it; just sayin’.]

For more with Taylor Swift and EW’s 14 other named entertainers of the year — including James Franco, Kanye West, Wil Smith’s kids, Jon Hamm, and Katy Perry — pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands Friday, December 3.

Taylor Swift Talks Love Advice And Kanye West

Taylor Swift is only 20 years old, but she has already been linked to some of Hollywood’s hottest men, including Joe Jonas, Zac Efron, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer and now Jake Gyllenhaal.

“Relationships are fascinating and riveting and completely unpredictable. For me, love is everything,” Swift tells Allure in December’s issue.

“I used to think there were all these rules for making people like you,” Swift adds.

“I was filled with advice! I’d tell my friends things like, ‘Don’t accept that apology! That isn’t sincere!’ or ‘He hung out with his ex-girlfriend? Get rid of him.’ But love is never that simple.”

Off the topic of love, Swift was reminded during this interview that she had told Allure in 2009 that the artist she wanted to work with the most was Kanye West.

“I forgot about that! Oh, wow! That’s…wow, that’s eerie, isn’t it?” she says.

Kanye West Goes On Another Therapeutic Twitter Rant – Matt Lauer Of The Today Show Is The New Target

Kanye West called President Grorge Bush a “racist” last year but is now trying to make amends for that. He went on NBC’s Today Show Tuesday to speak with Matt Lauer about it all but ended up being unhappy with the way he was treated by the show.

While on the show, Kanye told Lauer that he now regrets saying Bush “doesn’t care about black people.”

“I would tell George Bush: In my moment of frustration, I didn’t have the grounds to call him a racist,” West said. “I believe that in a situation of high emotion like that, we as human beings don’t always choose the right words.”

But apparently, something went wrong during the taping of  Today Show. Here is what Kanye had a problem with, in his own words. Last night, Kanye went on a Twitter rant again and here are experts from Twitter:

kanyewest ….but before I take off let me tell you how they did me at the Today show…
kanyewest I went up there to express how I was empathetic to Bush because I labeled him a racist and years later I got labeled as a racist….
kanyewest While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the “MTV” under me with audio!!!!!!!
kanyewest I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show … and that’s a very nice way for me to put it!
kanyewest MATT LAUER TRIED TO FORCE MY ANSWERS. IT WAS VERY BRUTAL AND I CAME THERE WITH ONLY POSITIVE INTENT.
kanyewest I feel very alone very used very tortured very forced very misunderstood very hollow very very misused
kanyewest I don’t trust anyone but myself! Everyone has an agenda. I don’t do press anymore. I can’t be everything to everybody anymore.
kanyewest I can’t be everybody’s hero and villain savior and sinner Christian and anti Christ!
kanyewest I can’t take anymore advice!!! I create, I’m creative, I have a good heart, everyone will see and understand one day.
kanyewest Everything sounds like noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING SOUNDS LIKE NOISE!!!!!!! I don’t trust anyone!
kanyewest Very judged very scrutinized very criticized! I want everyone to know I have lows all the time but I make it through them!
kanyewest Yo I really wonder if Matt Lauer thought that shit was cool to play the “MTV” clip while I was speaking about Bush?
kanyewest He played clips of Bush and asked me to look at his face while I was trying to talk to him. I wish Michael Jackson had twitter!!!!!!
kanyewest Maybe Mike could have explained how the media tried to set him up!!! It’s all a fucking set up!!!!
kanyewest This is rock and roll life my people… you can’t stop the truth you can’t stop the music and I have to be strong or “they” win!!!!
kanyewest Sometimes it’s not simple, some days it’s not easy… I just want to create. I love you guys, thanks for the support!

Kanye West’s Album Cover Banned In The USA?!

Kanye West‘s upcoming My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album art is too spicy for retail stores, reports Kanye himself via Twitter:
“Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!!” he Tweeted. “Banned in the USA!!!”

The artwork is very small, but features West as a nude, fanged-being with a green bottle in hand while a Caucasian winged-humanoid with wings and a polka-dotted tail straddles him.

Kanye’s Twitter rant continued, “They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix! So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they [sic] cover but I can’t have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings.”

George Condo, the artist behind Kanye’s Power music video, created the new album cover.

Truth be told, the album cover is not really banned despite Kanye’s Twitter rants.

Popeater.com reports that Kanye’s record label (Universal Music Group’s Island Def Jam) instead “strongly urged” Kanye not to use the artwork, but was ultimately told that “if he wanted to do it, the label would stand behind him.”

But after discussions about his album possibly not being showcased at places like Walmart, Best Buy and Target due to the graphic artwork, it was Kanye who reconsidered.

“In all honesty … I really don’t be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers.” Kanye wrote. He continued, “I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity.”

The album is scheduled to drop November 22.
