With near-constant talk that she and husband Blake Shelton are heading for divorce, country star Miranda Lambert addressed the rumors recently: “For the record, I’m not pregnant – I’m drinking – and I’m not getting divorced,” she said, pretty much clearing up all celebrity gossip topics in one quote. Lambert went on to say that all the tabloid speculation about her personal life has given a new meaning to her 2007 single, “Famous In A Small Town.” “I’ve been pregnant, having twins, we’ve been separated, I’m drunk and alone , pregnant again, then we’re having twins again, and now we’re getting divorced!” “I can’t even name the stuff ,” she said. “It’s funny because I realize this song means even more to me now because I’m in the tabloids every week for being famous for something I didn’t even do.” Lambert has spoken out about her buzzed-about relationship before. In April 2013, after winning an American Country Music award with Shelton for their song “Over You,” she told reporters that the time apart from him was hard. Hard but worth it. “You know, it’s not easy all the time being on opposite sides of the country and, you know, traveling and all that,” she said of her Voice coach spouse. “But when you get to celebrate moments like this together and when you go through the hard stuff, those are the moments that count. All the rest is fluff.” Well said, as always. Here’s hoping for many more of those moments for Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton , always one of our favorite couples.

Kicking off The Voice results show last night was a tribute to Oklahoma tornado victims, as resident coach Blake Shelton hails from that very state. He and wife Miranda Lambert live just 100 miles away from Moore, the city devastated by the massive Oklahoma tornado that killed at least 24 people. The duo offered a subdued performance of their hit song “Over You” in tribute, while donation information for The Red Cross was presented on-screen. Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton co-wrote the song in honor of Blake’s older brother who passed away when he was a teenager, so it was a fitting choice. Watch their moving performance below: Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert – Over You (The Voice) Blake, Miranda and countless others invite you to help the Oklahoma tornado victims by donating at redcross.org or calling 1-800 HELP NOW.

Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom 2 has been arrested for heroin possession – 12 bindles’ worth of the stuff – and assault on her husband Courtland Rogers. Police discovered the small paper packets of drugs on Jenelle’s possession when they arrived at her residence following an alleged domestic dispute. The reality star was also found to be illegally in possession of prescription drug Percocet, along with illegal drug paraphernalia (papers and a pipe). And then there’s the assault charge, which came after Evans allegedly struck her spouse WITH A PIECE OF FURNITURE during a domestic dispute. Courtland Rogers was arrested, as well, as he is believed to have hit Jenelle Evans on the neck on top of “striking her with a closed fist on her head.” Rogers just pleaded guilty days ago to assaulting Jenelle and their unborn child this winter, after which she miscarried and they split, but recently reconciled. He’s in a whole lot worse trouble this time around. Rogers was also arrested for heroin – which he’s accused her ex Kieffer Delp of getting her hooked on – with intent to sell, manufacture, and distribute. Just last night on Teen Mom 2 , viewers saw Evans and Delp procure what looked like heroin “with her last $70” after a huge blowout with her mom. Barbara Evans has custody of Jenelle’s three-year-old son Jace … largely for this reason. Oh, and Jenelle Evans , 21, was also served with a warrant. For failing to pay child support. Obviously. Both Jenelle and Courtland Rogers denied possession of the heroin at the time of their arrest Tuesday, which seems like a dubious claim at best. This is at least her sixth mug shot. They are entitled to and will receive a vigorous defense as always – her attorney Dustin Sullivan is a busy, busy man – but she could be in DEEP here.
