The Voice Recap: Who Made It to the Knockouts?

The Battle Rounds on The Voice have always served as a way to amp up the drama on the NBC juggernaut. We love drama, but not at the expense of dreams being dashed.  Most of the singers who make it through the Blind Auditions section of the show are already seasoned singers, so it makes little sense to have them battle it out.  It was night two of the grueling process, and there was not much in the way of shocks. Everyone who should have gotten through did, and that’s about all we could ask for.  Let’s break down the three battles that took place on the show.  Davon Fleming vs. Maharasyi – “I’m Your Baby Tonight” Maharasyi sprung a leak on the first day of rehearsals and struggled to keep up with Davon who was killing it. Jennifer noted that Davon went with it and proved he had what it took to advance to the next stage. It was pretty much the same thing during the performance. Davon was a clear frontrunner, but his voice was not as good as it was the first time we heard it. But that was still enough to win over Maharsayi who was sent packing.  Hannah Mrozak vs. Brandon Showell – “Cold Water” There was something off about Hannah during her rehearsal. She did not seem as into the competition as she should have been. This was the performance that was going to make or break her.  Brandon was decent in the performance, but it was clear he still had a lot of work to do if he wanted to advance to the next stage. Hannah’s performance improved as it went on, while Brandon’s stayed the same and it was not great.  Hannah was saved, while Brandon was sent home.  Mitchell Lee vs. Dennis Drummond – “Mr. Jones” This battle was always going to be a tough one. They both have very different voices, and that made their performance so delightful to watch. They don’t go together, so they should never duet.  Mitchell was saved by Blake, while Dennis was poached by Adam. That’s a wrap on Night Two! What did you think about the latest episode?

Kandi Denies Her Relationship With Jermaine Dupri Led To The Break Up Of Xscape

Go here to read the rest:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty The ladies of Xscape are making their press rounds and stopped by The Wendy Williams Show to discuss their first arena tour and spill the deets on their upcoming reality TV show. In case you missed it, Xscape dropped the trailer for Still Kickin’ It , revealing the tension still looms between the group. It didn’t take Wendy long to hit Kandi with the questions we all wanted to know about, ie: why they broke up and if her fling with Jermaine Dupri was the cause of it. But don’t get it twisted, Kandi wrapped Wendy up real quick. Wendy shifted gears when she started talking about marriage and asked Tiny is she and T.I. were still married.

Kardashians to Scott Disick: You’re Out of the Family!

It’s a scene that’s sure to ring a bell with fans of gangster movies. The mob boss, fed up with the performance of a troublesome underling summons the low-ranking hood to his office for a dressing down that could end in a lifetime of exile or a nap with the fishes. Now replace Paul Sorvino and Ray Liotta with Kris Jenner and Scott Disick, and you’ll have the perfect mental image for the episode we’re about to describe. By now you’ve likely heard that Scott Disick has hit rock bottom about fourteen times in the past few weeks. For months, Disick has been drinking non-stop and hooking up with a succession of inappropriately young starlets. Last week, his reckless lifestyle landed him in the hospital. Shortly thereafter, the world learned that Disick is dating Sofia Richie . He’s a 34-year-old father of three, and she’s the 19-year-old daughter of Lionel, so needless to say, the news hasn’t been well received. In fact, it seems that for Kris Jenner it was the nail in the coffin. The world’s most famous momager has been tolerant of some pretty horrendous behavior from the men in her daughters’ lives. Perhaps it’s because she’s acutely aware of the toll that becoming so famous so fast can have on a person, or maybe she’s just a more compassionate person than she seems on TV. Whatever the case, Scott Disick has finally gone too far. And now … Kris has to turn her back on him. The Kardashians are a business as well as a family, and though Scott will be permitted to continue seeing his kids (for now) he won’t be allowed to be a part of Kris and company’s lucrative media empire any longer. Sources tell Radar Online that after months of bad behavior, Scott has been “gently let go.” “Kris told him that they’ll see through the existing commitments — including his fulfillment to film various appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians — then that’s it, he’s done,” says one insider. “Scott knew this day was coming once Kourtney officially moved on and got serious,” the informant adds. Hey, you had to know this was coming, Scotty. Look on the bright side, you had a better run than anyone expected. Now, go home and get your f–king shine box!

He Beat? Is Floyd Mayweather Driving Keyshia Cole Even Crazier With His Money Peen?

WENN Keyshia Cole Crazy In Love With Floyd Mayweather Don’t tell Amanda Seales! The c aptain of the Money Team must have some fire peen because Keyshia Cole reportedly acted a nut in Philadelphia this weekend trying to move her 35-minute concert for City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson’s Community Appreciation Day to an earlier timeslot so she could fly private to Vegas for Floyd’s fight. According to NY Daily News Confidenti@l reports Apparently Cole couldn’t wait to get to Vegas, and “drove (everyone) crazy” in Philly, where, we’re told, she did everything she could to reschedule her show, before eventually getting the performance time changed from 7 p.m. to 2 p.m. so that she could make it to the desert for fight night. She then got a police escort to the airport, according to our sources, who said she was wearing “head-to-toe Chanel” and carrying a matching bag. She definitely made it in time and posted the photo to prove it. Confidenti@l says the pair have been romantically linked for the last year and the boxer even bought her a black Benz last year. Fun Fact: Keyshia’s biological father Virgil Hunter was also a boxer. The singer didn’t meet her dad until last May.
