James Spader Joins The Cast of ‘The Office’

It’s official: James Spader will be on the cast of NBC’s The Office come next season.

But it’s not what you’re thinking. Spader will not be replacing Steve Carell as the new Scranton branch manager of Dunder Mifflin. He will instead be replacing Kathy Bates as the CEO of Sabre.

Paul Lieberstein, who is executive producer of the sitcom and who plays Toby on the show, said in a statement: “James will reprise his role as Robert California, this uber-salesman that has a power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior.”

“He’ll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted. Within days, he took over the company. James has an energy that is completely his own, and ‘The Office’ has no tools for dealing with this guy. We’re thrilled he’s joining our cast.”

We still don’t know who will be filling the seat left vacant by the departure of Michael Scott, but rumor has it that they will be promoting from within. Who do you think will be the new branch manager? Who do you think should be the new boss head?

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?

Christina Aguilera Hits Paycheck Gold On ‘The Voice’

It’s not every day that a woman out gains a man in the pay department for the same job done. But Christina Aguilera has made herself an exception. We just found out that she makes a whopping $225,000 per episode of NBC’s hit show, The Voice.

Aguilera’s co-stars Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton each only make $75,000 per episode, which isn’t too shabby at all. But that means Christina makes $150,000 more per episode than her male counterparts. Or triple the pay.
That’s really awesome. Way to go Xtina!
