Are you experiencing The Voice withdrawals? Don’t worry, NBC just announced that it is bringing the surprise hit show back soon, and with a bang!
The second season of The Voice will premiere after Super Bowl XLVI on February 5.
It’s official: James Spader will be on the cast of NBC’s The Office come next season.
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.”
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.”
NBC aired The Voice finale results show Wednesday, June 29, 2011. One of the four finalists, Beverly McClellan, Javier Colon, Vicci Martinez, or Dia Frampton was crowned the first-ever Voice winner.
