It looks like NBC has got Rihanna’s money. The network announced today that the superstar singer has joined Season 9 of The Voice. With Gwen Stefani, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams all on board as coaches this fall, NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt told reporters today at the TCA Press Tour in Beverly Hills that Rihanna will serve as a “key advisor” to them all. It’s unclear what that means, but whatever. Rihanna will be a part of The Voice! “This is one of music’s true supervisors coming on board to influence the lives and careers of the performers,” Greenblatt said. Levine and Shelton, of course, have been with The Voice since it premiere in 2011. Williams is going into his third season, while Stefani joined back in season seven… though she took season eight off and Christina Aguilera jumped in to a red chair in her place. Aguilera is expected back on season 10, but no matter. Rihanna will have the sex appeal quotient covered until then!
Third time’s a charm and we hope this is it for our girl Brit Brit… Britney Spears had a pretty sweet celebration Friday night to celebrate her engagement to fiancé Jason Trawick. After arriving in Las Vegas, the couple headed to Planet Hollywood where they checked into their 3,100-square-foot suite designed by former Top Design host Jonathon Adler. Spears, donning a short, nude Herve Leger dress, stepped out a few hours later and revealed her highly-anticipated Neil Lane sparkler during a congratulatory welcome on the hotel’s mezzanine. Planet Hollywood Chairman Robert Earl presented Trawick with an oversized birthday cake in a quick ceremony. And what better place to end the night than Paris’s Chateau Nightclub. Surrounded by friends, Spears, 30, and Trawick, 40, hung out in their own private VIP table overlooking the club’s dance floor. “Britney seemed happy, holding Jason’s hand,” an onlooker said. They retreated to a private area after 1 a.m., but Spears was “dancing up a storm” until nearly 4. Details on the ring: Britney Spears may be a pop-star diva to the rest of the world, but to beau Jason Trawick, “she’s his everyday princess,” says celebrity jeweler Neil Lane, who designed Spears’s dazzling engagement ring to befit Trawick’s vision of the singer’s down-home regality. “Jason is a romantic and when I asked him to tell me about Britney and what the ring would represent to them so I could find inspiration, his response was always the same — she is his princess!” With that theme in mind, Lane tells PEOPLE he designed from scratch a tiara-motif sparkler with a round, perfect white diamond in a handmade platinum setting that “looks like a mini crown,” the celebrated jeweler says. He also added 90 small round diamonds around the eternity band. “Jason didn’t want an over-the-top ring with a giant stone,” he adds. “He’s deeply in love with her. Britney is his princess and he is her knight in shining armor,” he says. “Jason’s protective of her. He adores her. Every good fairytale needs a princess, and now Britney has a ring fit for a princess!” Peep photos of the ring below: Source 1 , Source 2 SplashNews
