The Voice Recap: Who Made it to Finale Night?

Eight became four on Tuesday’s episode of The Voice, but there was one big question that needed to be answered:  Did Reagan Strange make it through the vote after the controversy over her not performing in last week’s sing-off? Many fans have been campaigning for Reagan to exit the series because of everything that happened.  Advanced to Finals Kirk Jay (Team Blake) Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly) Chris Kroeze (Team Blake) But who was in the bottom two? Yes, the bottom two are the unlucky ones who do not get a chance at a sing-off.  Gulp.  The unlucky two were Sarah Grace (Team Kelly) and Kymberli Joye (Team Kelly). It’s time to break down the middle three performances because only one of them would get the chance to compete in the finals.  Reagan Strange (Team Adam) – “Wherever You Will Go” Controversial contestant, Reagan floundered on Monday, and her save me performance was actually worse. Who would have thought it? The 14-year-old is simply not at the level she needs to be to be at this stage of the competition, and this is partly Adam’s fault for keeping her around longer than he should have.  MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer) – “Up to the Mountain” MaKenzie should not have been in the sing-off. She should have been sent to safety at the top of the installment. Her Monday performance was solid, but she’s just not resonating with the viewers who are voting.  Kennedy Holmes (Team Jennifer), “How Do I Live?” Like Makenzie, Kennedy was another performer at the top of her game. Her performance was elegant, and she had a great stage presence.  There needs to be some changes to the way the votes are cast because this show is quickly falling apart.  In the end, MaKenzie and Reagan were eliminated, leaving Kennedy to advance to the finals.  This means Adam has no more acts left in the competition. Might have had better luck if he didn’t throw DeAndre under the bus last week? The Voice finale gets underway on Monday at 8/7c. View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!

Reawakened Iggy Azalea Boo-Hoos About Her Once Wrecked Confidence — But Are Folks FINALLY Done Slandering Her?

  Photo by Noel Vasquez/Getty Images) Iggy Azalea’s Reemergence Causes Debate It’s been several years since Iffy Iggy Azalea was cancelled in the court of public opinion. With problematic lyrics, identifying herself as a “runaway” slave master and labels like “appropriating” preceding her, she didn’t really blossom into the space she was aiming for in rap music. Now some folks are kinda feeling her  Kream record (it’s charting and streaming higher than whatshername’s single), but is that enough to recant all slander towards Iggy? Here, Iggy explains how much the previous years have taken a toll on her confidence. She says that her self-confidence was knocked and it took years to rebuild. But now she’s back to believing in herself. y’all dragged iggy to filth and totally wrecked her confidence which took her years to rebuild only because she’s a white female rapper but I don’t see the same shit happening to white male rappers when they are 10 times more problematic pic.twitter.com/6Qq69CTU8z — lukas (@lukasperry) July 6, 2018 Aussie tears aside, folks online are split right down the middle on how to handle Iggy moving forward. Do you have a short-term memory? Are you ready to recant all ill feelings toward Iggy, like some of the following tweeters? Hit the flip.

Farrah Abraham: "Blowin’" Lyrics and Smoke Like a BOSS!

Farrah Abraham is “Blowin'” up all over the Internet, thanks to her latest video … which surprisingly, given the name and her filthy past, is not a sex tape. Needless to say, the speed with which the Farrah Abraham “Blowin'” video went viral was impressive. Also needless to say? The video is beyond terrible. The imagery as well as the self-written words made for a truly mind “Blowin'” experience, one which can be summed up best in these seven memes: Farrah Abraham: Blowin’ Lyrics Breakdown Open Slideshow 1. Sexuality, Ability Be better then normal and use your appearance, sexuality and ability to blow their minds. View As List 1. Sexuality, Ability Be better then normal and use your appearance, sexuality and ability to blow their minds. 2. I’m Blowin’ … These bullies away. And sometimes James Deen. 3.

The girl certainly has a way of keepin’ herself relevant, in her own uniquely bizarre way, even if her grammar is on par with your average fifth grader. It’s impressive how she’s overcome obvious intellectual shortcomings and a penchant for pathologically lying, really. You almost have to give her credit. In the video, the single mom is clad in a billowy dress, holding toddler Sophia in the park, snappin’ selfies with fans at the club and dishin’ out wisdom.  Watch the video for yourself after the jump.

Porsha Williams Lingerie Line: Take That, Kordell!

Porsha Williams (not Stewart) is giving us yet another reason to watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online : She’s come out with her own line of lingerie! The reality star made the announcement on Instagram regarding her brand new, upcoming project, teasing excitedly, “Omg!!! Big things to come!!” “You all gave me the push I needed IG babies! Porsha Lingerie is on the way! Thanks for your time today @uyo I’m so excited! #makingmoves” One person she’s no longer making the moves on? Kordell Stewart , the former NFL star whose messy divorce from Porsha continues to make headlines. There was no SLASHing of assets down the middle with The Real Housewives of Atlanta star when they split last year. Kordell basically kept it all. No wonder she needs to make some ends now that she’s single again. We have no idea what she knows about designing lingerie, but does it matter? Most likely not to Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue … or whomever she models the garments for next. We imagine the won’t be focused on the fabric quality. Porsha Stewart-Kordell Stewart Divorce Porsha Williams, Kordell Stewart Split

WATCH: Leaked ‘Evil Dead’ Remake Trailer From NY Comic-Con Wallows In Limb-Severing & Tongue-Splitting

Bruce Campbell wasn’t kidding. On Saturday, I interviewed the actor , who starred in and produced the original The Evil Dead trilogy with Sam Raimi and is now producing a remake , and he told me that Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez’s reinterpretation is “dead serious.”  Unlike Raimi’s movies, which mixed the director’s distinct style of humor with groundbreaking (literally) horror, Campbell says the remake is a “full-on old-school horror movie with make-up effects.” And lots of blood and gore judging from this stomach-turning trailer that leaked from NY Comic-Con.   Don’t be put off by the initial graininess of the footage, the focus gets fixed which makes me question the clip’s bootleg credibility. But it certainly makes a compelling case for horror and gore fans to see the movie.  There’s lots of blood, scenes of people removing infected limbs with kitchen and garden power tools and one particularly memorable shot of a young possessed woman slicing her tongue down the middle.  (I guess she wants to speak with forked tongue…ba-dump-bump!) The trailer also suggests that Alvarez has adopted Raimi’s technique of shooting scenes from the perspective of the fast-moving evil forces that invade and infect the group of  pretty-but-unfortunate souls who find the Book of the Dead in an isolated cabin. Prepare to scream, like the crowd members do at the beginning of the clip. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter .

#IgniteLA: Uprising Remixed (La Riots Anniversary) [Video]

My name is Hilary. I’m 19 years old and I’m from…

My name is Hilary. I’m 19 years old and I’m from Waterloo, Canada. My Bieber Experience was back in July 2009. I used to watch MuchOnDemand all the time and with it being so close to home, I decided to try and get my hands on some free tickets. I brought along my two friends Emily and Brett with me for the adventure. I made sure ahead of time that this live taping I was going to, DID feature Justin Bieber. Of course with it being only a month after his first single ‘One Time’ was released, there were plenty of fans! We got there at about 11:00am so we would have some time to just wonder around Toronto and wait in line. We stood outside in line for about 2 hours but finally made our way inside; only to find we that we had to continue waiting in line in a stair well for another couple hours. It came to about 3:00pm by the time we got inside. Sadly, there was near to no where to sit or stand. We ended up stuck in the back of the crowd where it was almost impossible to see anything happening. Finally, it was time to start the show. Justin walks in and the fans screams were so loud! Chaz and Ryan were also there standing off to the side. Justin did his live interview and at commercial breaks, would come and take pictures and sign stuff. There was a pathway down the middle of the room so he could go outside and meet fans out there too. One commercial break, he was walking through the middle, and luckily some nice boys moved over and helped me get a chance to meet Justin. Justin passed by me numerous times but I was determine to meet him. A girl across from me was trying to get his attention too. He was right about to get a picture with her, until I yelled out “JUSTIN!” and he came over to me instead. He leaned in for the picture with me. I was so gitty that I got to meet this new pop singer in real life. He was the first celebrity I’ve ever met and I can tell you, I will never forget that day! I have our picture posted in my school locker every year , it’s on my Facebook and it’s currently my Twitter picture! BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! Thank you Justin for reminding so many people that dreams can come true if you put your mind to it. Hope to meet you again soon so we can refresh our picture from 2009! Love you! -@foreverhilaryy   Go here to see the original: My name is Hilary. I’m 19 years old and I’m from…
