'The Voice' Returns For Second Season With Big Post-Super Bowl Show
Christina Aguilera And Adam Levine Spar As First Round Of "The Voice" Blind Auditions Gets Underway
By John Mitchell

"The Voice" returned to NBC for its second season immediately following Super Bowl XLVI and got right to business, kicking off the first round of blind auditions with coaches Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton each picking up one team member and Christina Aguilera scoring two.
Seven hopefuls stepped in front of the judges' revolving chairs, each hoping at least one would turn and ask them to be on their team. Two contestants got all four judges' approval, but one, 24-year-old Daniel Rosa from Riverside, California, didn't get a single judge to turn their chair and offer a spot and was sent home packing.
The Players:
RaeLynn
A teenager raised on a Texas farm, Rae Lynn entered the competition with one thing in mind: to win over judge Blake Shelton, who is married to country singer Miranda Lambert, a big hero of Rae Lynn's. She decided to sing Lambert's "Hell on Heels" despite being warned that last season Shelton didn't respond well when a contestant auditioned with one of his wife's songs. But confident in her choice, she did it anyway and wowed Shelton and Levine. Ultimately, she chose to stick with her roots and keep things country. Team Blake
Jesse Campbell
One of many inspiring stories told during the show, we were introduced to 42-year-old homeless father Jesse Campbell and his family. He'd barely uttered a few notes before Aguilera, Green and Levine swiveled around (Shelton followed soon after). "You followed through above and beyond my expectations," she told Campbell, promising to fight for him along the hard road to the "Voice" finals. Trusting that Aguilera knows a thing or two about how to get the most out of strong vocalists, Jesse picked the "Not Myself Tonight" singer. Team Xtina
Juliet Simms
Simms has been living the rock-and-roll life since she was a teen and is now, at 25, looking to take that next step. Simms tackled a big song too -- "Oh! Darling" by the Beatles -- but brought a rough, throaty edge and rocker swagger to the track that immediately attracted Levine and Cee Lo and, eventually, Aguilera. "You brought the house down," Christina said to Simms. Competing over the singer's affections even devolved into a bit of mudslinging between Aguilera and Levigne, who bickered back and forth over who could better serve Simms in the contest. She decided to go with neither and picked the most eclectic guy on the panel. Team Cee Lo
Chris Mann
Another of the night's tear-jerker back stories came from Mann, a talented classical musician working in Nashville, Tennessee, whose mother is fighting pancreatic cancer. The 29-year-old Wichita, Kansas, native was the second contestant of the competition to bowl over the judges with a big, classic voice. "Now that's a voice," Xtina proclaimed, "I love it!" Her enthusiasm led him to pick the "Beautiful" Grammy winner, and in the first night of competition, she nailed down the two best voices in the game so far. Team Xtina
Tony Lucca
Hey, that guy looks familiar! Lucca was at one time a Mouseketeer alongside Christina, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears on "The Mickey Mouse Club." But it was more important here that he tore the roof off the joint with a rocking rendition of "Trouble" that earned a swivel of approval from every judge on the panel. All pleaded with him to join their team, but Aguilera seemed oblivious to the fact that she knew him as a child (a lot has happened since then, we'll give her that). He went with Shelton, probably hoping a little of the country-rock cool that's kept him at the top of the charts for the last few years rubs off. Team Adam
After he left the stage, Aguilera realized who Lucca was and ran backstage to greet him, his wife and young daughter. She also revealed, "Britney had the biggest crush on you!"
Oh, what could have been..
Did you catch "The Voice" tonight? Which contestant was your favorite? Let us know in the comments below.

Soap Dish: The Bold & The Beautiful?s The Soaper Bowl (Video)
It is Soap Dish time again and this week I am dishing on The Soaper Bowl.

I was recently turned on to The Bold & The Beautiful?s The Soaper Bowl, which is of course the soap?s take on the Super Bowl.

Jennifer Aniston Covers InStyle March 2012
Her new film "Wanderlust" makes its way into theaters on February 24th, and as part of her press efforts Jennifer Aniston offered up her star power for the March 2012 cover issue of InStyle.
The soon-to-be 43-year-old struck enchanting poses for the Michelangelo Di Battista shot magazine's dual covers while dishing on topics ranging from misconceptions about her and her obsession with 'laser porn' to her hunky boyfriend, Justin Theroux.
Highlights from Miss Aniston's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit InStyle!
On her culinary skills:
"I'd love to say I'm an accomplished cook, but I don't have any signature dishes. I'm good at breakfast - I make great eggs. My father gave me a little recipe. It's all in the seasoning. But it's a Greek secret. I won't give it away!"
On the most annoying misconception about her:
"Which one? There are so many. I would say the triangle with my ex-husband - and that there's a feud there. It's constant. It's a story headline that won't go away, but it's a money thing - [people make money off] a story that has nothing to do with reality."
On her favorite thing about boyfriend Justin Theroux's style:
"First of all, he has great style - it's very specific, and it has been his style forever. Has it influenced mine? No, but I know people say it has.'Oh, look, you're dressing alike.' And I think, no I'm not. I've had this jacket for three years!"
On what career she'd pick if she had to change:
"Directing. I was very proud of producing and directing for the beautiful project 'Five.' Or I'd love to be a dermatologist. I'd be so obsessive about it. I'm fascinated by skin, products, and lasers. I go on the Internet and read all about it. I call it 'laser porn.'"
On the biggest risk she's taken in life:
"I'm not sure. Just walking out of the house can be a risk!"

Super Bowl XLVI: A Complete Look at the Big Game
Making for another memorable night thanks to the National Football League's championship game, Super Bowl XLVI has come to an end with the New York Giants topping the New England Patriots by a score of 21-17 in Indianapolis on Sunday night (February 5).
The festivities were kicked off with country couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton singing "America the Beautiful" while Kelly Clarkson delivered a flawless rendition of the National Anthem.
After a tightly contested first half seeing the Patriots ahead by a score of 10-9, the thousands watching at Lucas Oil Stadium and millions around the world were treated to quartet of hits by Madonna, who was joined throughout the Bridgestone halftime show by LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and Cee Lo Green.
With plenty of stars in attendance to catch the action, Katy Perry, Nina Dobrev, Nikki Reed, Pia Toscano, Joe Mangianello, Maria Menounos and Anna Faris were among those turning up on the grounds to take in the matchup between the NFL's last two remaining teams.
Going down to the wire, the Giants made a few more key plays than the Patriots while ending up emerging victorious by a final score of 21-17.

Super Bowl Prop Bets: Wager On Madonna's Mic, More
Will Kelly Clarkson show her midriff? What will Madge wear at halftime? Pop-culture bets give football-phobes plenty to tune in for Sunday.
By James Montgomery

Not to get all general here, but when you get down to it, there are really only two types of people in the world: those who care about the Super Bowl and those who don't.
The former will need absolutely zero incentive to tune into this Sunday's retribution-stoked Super Bowl XLVI, which pits the New England Patriots against the New York Giants in a rematch of one of the most epic Supes of all time, XLII, which saw — wait, if you're going to watch, you already know what happened in that first championship tilt (David Tyree, Plax Burress on the slant-and-go, 18-1, etc.), and suffice it to say, you're salivating with anticipation over the next chapter in this rivalry.
For the latter, well, that last paragraph probably makes about as much sense as the fact that the New York Giants actually play their home games in New Jersey, and, as such, there's no way you're going to waste your Sunday watching what amounts to 240 minutes of commercials intermittently broken up by the occasional football play (unless you're anxiously awaiting the premiere of "The Voice," that is). But, really, you should reconsider that stance — mainly because of prop bets.
For the uninitiated, props (short for "propositions") are bets placed on the occurrence — or non-occurrence — of events during a game that have little-to-no actual impact on the outcome of that game. Stuff like "Which color Gatorade will the winning team dump on its head coach" or "Number of times (insert name of famous athlete's girlfriend) will be shown during the TV telecast." They are supremely silly, not to mention incredibly suicidal, wagers, and not surprisingly — given that it's the biggest football game of the year — Las Vegas oddsmakers work overtime churning them out during the Super Bowl.
Shoot, more often than not, most of those Super Bowl props have absolutely nothing to do with the game itself. There are not only odds on the length of Kelly Clarkson's national anthem performance, but what kind of outfit she'll be wearing while singing it. Which means that, whether you know who BenJarvus Green-Ellis is or not, there are still plenty of reasons to tune in to Sunday's big game.
So in the hopes of inspiring you non-fans to watch, we've reached out to the online oddsmakers at to get their lines on some of the most outrageous Super Bowl prop bets. And in case you're wondering: Yes, there's a science to these kinds of things.
"I sat down and watched six to seven videos of Kelly Clarkson singing the anthem at past sporting events, timing all of them," Bovada head oddsmaker Pat Morrow told MTV News. "Once that was done, I took some things into consideration: that she will be indoors, [that] it is the Super Bowl and people have tendency to take a little longer, and came up with 1 minute, 34 seconds. And I think we are bang-on, because we have had it up over a week and have taken a lot on both sides and have not had to move the number."
See! So, without further ado, are some of our favorite music-centric prop bets. Oh, and we realize some of the numbers may confuse you, so just consider this: If you were to place $100 on a 2/1 bet, and win, you'd walk away with $200 (plus your $100 back). Conversely, that $100 on a 1/2 bet would net you just $50. If you were to bet $100 on a +200 line, it means you'd take home $200 in profit (plus your initial $100). A line of -200 means you'd need to bet $200 just to win $100 (the more probable the outcome, the more you have to put up to turn a profit; Vegas wasn't built on winners, after all). Oh, and an over/under bet is simply a wager on whether an event will go over or under the stated time. Confused? Of course you are. After all, prop bets aren't supposed to be about logic, they're supposed to be about insanity. So let's take a look at the lines!
How long will it take Kelly Clarkson to sing the National Anthem?
Over/under: 1 minute, 34 seconds.
What will Kelly Clarkson wear to sing the national anthem?
» Super Bowl XLVI or official NFL shirt: 2/1
» Patriots jersey or shirt: 12/1
» Colts jersey or shirt: 12/1
» Giants jersey or shirt: 15/1
» Anything else: 1/3
Will Kelly Clarkson forget or omit at least one word of the national anthem?
» Yes: 5/2
Will Kelly Clarkson's bare belly be showing when she sings the national anthem?
» Yes: 3/1
What color will Madonna's hair be when she begins the Super Bowl halftime show?
» Blonde: -400
» Any other color: +250
Will Madonna wear an NFL jersey or shirt at any point during the Super Bowl halftime show?
» Yes: +250
» No: -400
Will Madonna wear a hat at any point during the Super Bowl halftime show?
» Yes: +150
» No: -200
What will Madonna be using to start the Super Bowl halftime show?
» Headset: -200
» Handheld microphone: +150

Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber Share A Dating 'Philosophy'
'If you're in love, you're in love to the fullest,' singer/actress tells Cosmopolitan.

<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/gomez__selena/artist.jhtml">Selena Gomez</a> turns the big 2-0 later this year, and she seems to be leaving her tween image behind. The 19-year-old is the latest teen star to appear on the cover of <i>Cosmopolitan,</i> following last month's issue of the women's magazine, featuring 17-year-old Dakota Fanning. For her first cover for the magazine, Gomez dons a low-cut, floral-print dress as she looks rather seductively into the camera. She's sitting with her one leg perched in front of her body, displaying a saucier side of herself than fans might be used to seeing. <center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:713774/cp~id%3D1672718%26vid%3D713774%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A713774%26instance%3Dmtv" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="." flashVars=""></embed></center> Inside the issue, she's talking all about love, opening up about her longtime boyfriend, Justin Bieber. "I'm just like every 19-year-old girl," she said. "If you're in love, you're in love to the fullest, and you just want to go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible. I'm fortunate that I've found someone who has that philosophy." In another <i>Cosmo</i> <a href="http://perezhilton.com/2012-01-31-selena-gomez-dating-justin-bieber-cosmo-dating-life-waste#.Tyg4aMXOyf4" target="_blank">quote</a> floating around online, Gomez dishes on a past boyfriend (Taylor Lautner? Nick Jonas?) who didn't make things as easy on her. "I was in a relationship previously where I had to hide everything and it wasn't my choice. I had to go through different exits and take separate cars and do the craziest things, and it just really wasn't worth it," she explained. "It was like a year of my life completely wasted." The more mature magazine cover comes as <a href="/news/articles/1676848/selena-gomez-plans-wizards-of-waverly-place.jhtml">Gomez prepares for the next phase of her career</a>. In the coming weeks, she'll hit the set for her next film, the <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/11/29/selena-gomez-spring-breakers/">more adult-themed "Spring Breakers,"</a> which follows a group of college girls who rob a restaurant to pay for their spring break. When they land in jail, a drug and arms dealer bails them out, and they quickly become entangled with him and his business. "It's a different character than I have ever played before," she told MTV News about the film, which will be directed by "Kids" mastermind Harmony Korine. "It's a different kind of vibe I think than people are used to seeing me in. What you're going to see is more raw, I think. It's going to be raw and more about acting." <i>What do you think about Selena's grown-up image? Let us know in the comments!</i></p>

Robert Plant And Alison Krauss Win Grammy Album Of The Year
Raising Sand, from Led Zeppelin vet and bluegrass superstar, wins five Grammys on Sunday night.
By James Montgomery with MTV News staff
Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
<P>"I'm bewildered," <a href="/music/artist/plant_robert/artist.jhtml">Robert Plant</a> said onstage as he accepted the <MTVNLINK type="news" id="1604580">Grammy Album of the Year award</MTVNLINK> with <a href="/music/artist/krauss_alison/artist.jhtml">Alison Krauss</a> on Sunday night. "In the old days we would have called this selling out, but it's a good way to spend a Sunday." He was probably one of the few who were surprised, because <i>Raising Sand,</i> which won five trophies at Sunday night's show, is in many ways the perfect <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/grammys/">Grammy</a> album. It features two respected veterans, a critically lauded producer, some sandpaper-and-velvet vocals and a baker's dozen of time-tested standards.</p><div style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;"><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:338316" width="256" height="223" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="configParams=instance%3Dnews%26vid%3D338316" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></div><p> You're probably familiar with Robert Plant from his <a href="/music/artist/led_zeppelin/artist.jhtml">Led Zeppelin</a> days, and you might be aware of producer T-Bone Burnett's work on the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (it won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002). And if you don't know who Alison Krauss is, she possesses a haunting set of pipes and is one of the meanest fiddle players in the world. Oh, and she's won 21 Grammys, more than any other female artist and the seventh-most in history. Really, she's the key to <i>Sand</i>'s success, and not just because of her voice (or her fiddle playing). She and Plant first met in 2004, at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to legendary bluesman Leadbelly, and the former Zeppelin man was amazed by her knowledge of American Roots music — so much so that they began kicking around the idea of recording an album together. Three years later, <i>Sand</i> was released. And while Plant possesses the more famous voice, the album's finest moments radiate from Krauss. Whether she's getting bluesy on Little Milton's "Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson" or entwining with Plant's husky voice on songs like "Please Read the Letter" and Roly Salley's winsome "Killing the Blues," she more than carries her end of the bargain. And perhaps that's also due to producer Burnett, who handpicked the 13 songs the duo cover on <i>Sand.</i> His arrangements are sparse — giving the two voices ample room to breathe — yet dense, warm and crackling at the same time. It's a testament to his work that he's often given just as much billing as Plant and Krauss on the project ... and it's certainly justified. To date, <i>Sand</i> has sold more than 1 million copies, heaped tons of acclaim and actually earned a Grammy last year — "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" took home the award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. One expert was surprised not by the album's success, but by the fact that it's actually quite a good album. "At first, the album seemed like a vanity project. ... Two names, clearly a one-off record, didn't have to be any good, you know?" <i>New York Times</i> music critic Jon Caramanica said. "Led Zeppelin fans would buy it because of Robert Plant, Alison Krauss would get a check. But it actually turned out to be a really thoughtful, really <i>good</i> record. So when you combine all that with the fact that the Grammys love to lionize one of their own, I could really see it taking home some awards." </p>
