The Voice Judges: Returning!

Unlike its nemesis on Fox, there’s no judging controversy on The Voice . At least not yet. Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will all return for the competition’s second season. “Our fantastic coaches were integral to the tremendous success of The Voice this year and we are thrilled that they are all returning,” Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of NBC, said in a statement. “We look forward to building season two and making The Voice an even greater experience for fans.” The NBC hit crowned Javier Colon as its first champion this week and will return in January.

Jill Scott Scores First #1 on Billboard 200

Bon Iver debuts at #2, followed by Adele at #3 and ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic at #9. By Gil Kaufman Jill Scott’s The Light of the Sun Photo: Blues Babe Records R&B singer Jill Scott will notch her first #1 album next week when her fourth effort, Light of the Sun, crashes the top of the Billboard 200 chart thanks to sales of 135,000 copies, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. That was more than enough to hold off the charge from another chart-topping newbie, sensitive Wisconsin folkie Bon Iver (a.k.a. Justin Vernon), whose self-titled second collection of pastoral Auto-Tuned hymns hits #2 after selling 104,000 copies. The pair leads a parade of new faces, which include country singer Justin Moore at #5 with Outlaws Like Me (65,000), Pitbull , whose Planet Pit lands at #7 (55,000), and perennial chart-crashing joke man “Weird Al” Yankovic , who yuks his way to #9 with Alpocalypse (44,000). The rest of the top 10: Adele , 21 (#3, 101,000); Jackie Evancho , Dream With Me (#4, 77,000); Bad Meets Evil , Hell: The Sequel (#6, 63,000); Lady Gaga , Born This Way (#8, 49,000); and Jason Aldean , My Kinda Party (#10, 40,000). Speaking of parties, all-night disco rockers LMFAO wiggle in just outside the top 10 with their second effort, Sorry for Party Rocking, which hits #12 (27,000), while soul singer Ledisi takes a 10-spot tumble in week two with Pieces of Me, which falls to #18 (20,000). Without a smash hit like “Fireflies,” fans seemed to flee Owl City ‘s latest, All Things Bright and Beautiful , which plummets 26 spots in week two to #32, as sales drop 73 percent to 13,000. Pop punk veterans Simple Plan rolled into the #52 slot with Get Your Heart On! (9,000). Over on the iTunes charts, it’s a different story, as Bon Iver rules the album tally, followed by Adele, Scott, the Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ collabo Bad Meets Evil, Pitbull, Moore, Mumford & Sons’ Sigh No More, LMFAO, Matt Nathanson’s Modern Love and a Frank Sinatra greatest hits collection. Katy Perry was the queen of the iTunes singles chart thanks to “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” which beat out Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger” collaboration with Christina Aguilera on “The Voice,” then LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem,” Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything,” Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass,” Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep,” Lady Gaga’s “The Edge of Glory,” Hot Chelle Rae’s “Tonight Tonight,” Lil Wayne’s “How to Love” and Blake Shelton’s “Honey Bee.” Expect more shake-ups at the top next week when Beyonc

Following Blake Shelton, 35, and Miranda Lambert, 27, from their rehearsal (complete with the bride#39;s traditional bow bouquet), to tubing with guests (coolers of beer and berries, anyone?) through their ceremony (including Lambert#39;s one-of-a-kind brooch bouquet) and reception, the footage captures what the party was like for the couple#39;s 560 guests. For country stars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, getting hitched was all about the three D#39;s: Dancing, drinking, and “I Dos”! In

“I#39;ve been working all year trying to do it healthfully and slowly, but you know what, he#39;s loved me at all weights, so if I gain 30 pounds before then – I don#39;t want to! – but he#39;ll still marry me,” says Miranda Lambert, 27, who on Sunday took several honors at the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards – hosted by Shelton. Her awards were for favorite female vocalist, record of the year, video of the year and song of the year for her ballad “The House that Built Me.” She#39;s

Christina Aguilera Promises ‘The Voice’ Judges Will Be Nice

Pop star says she will join Twitter to promote the show, which premieres in April. By Gil Kaufman Christina Aguilera Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images Is the age of the mean judge over? With the new “American Idol” panel going pretty easy on this year’s top 13 so far, it’s starting to sound like there will be more of the same back-patting on the upcoming NBC singing competition “The Voice.” “There is no good and bad,” said Christina Aguilera , one of the show’s mentors, in her first public appearance since her arrest for public intoxication earlier this month. Aguilera sat in one of the oversize swivel chairs alongside fellow judge/coach Adam Levine on Tuesday to talk up the show, which premieres on April 26. “This isn’t about tearing people down. I want to bring these people up,” she added, according to Entertainment Weekly. ” ‘The

“Being happy is horrible for songwriting, especially for country music. We just want to write about leaving and sadness,” Lambert, 27, says in the March issue of Ladies Home Journal. “I have to put myself in a dark place if I want to write something good.” These days writing sad songs is certainly a stretch for Lambert, who became engaged to singer Blake Shelton, 34, in May. Miranda Lambert has a lot to be happy about: a s-exy fiané, multiple Grammy nominations and her recent weight loss, to

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert

Blake Shelton, who on Sunday proposed to Miranda Lambert, 26, in the Oklahoma woods, made his first public appearance since their engagement at a No. 1 party in Nashville on Wednesday night for his hit “Hillbilly Bone.” Don#39;t let her “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” reputation fool you – Miranda Lambert is one giddy bride-to-be, says new fiancé Blake Shelton. “As bad-ass as her image is, she is 200 percent girl,” Shelton, 33, tells us about Lambert#39;s excited anticipation when it comes to planning t

Equally perfect: The diamond-and-platinum ring “Hillbilly Bone” singer Blake Shelton, 33, chose on his own. “I was so proud of him,” says Miranda Lambert, 26. “We#39;ve been together five years, so he knew exactly what I wanted but it#39;s so much more perfect than I could have picked out myself.” He may be classified as a “hillbilly” singer, but Blake Shelton polished up his manners when it came to popping the question to Miranda Lambert. “He called my dad and got his blessing first,” Lamber
