The Voice Season 8 began this fall’s epic Battle Rounds with contestants dueling it out for survival, with everything at stake in mano a mano duels. Well, assuming no superstar throws them a lifeline. Thank goodness for the steal – coaches can grab defeated singers, two apiece, in this round – because without them, this would be unfair. With the singers feeding off of one another and lending their respective strengths to the duet as a whole, instantly eliminating one is cruel. Even if there’s a clear victor, knowing that the steal is in play allows us to focus on what a thoroughly creative and entertaining format this is. Let’s break down Monday’s clashes, the victors, the vanquished and the stolen (if applicable) in the first night of the Battle Round below … View Slideshow: The Voice Season 8 Battle Rounds: Night One
Sky From Black Ink Reveals Breast Augmentation If you watch “ Black Ink Crew ,” you’ve surely heard about Sky’s plans to plump-up her posterior — which she finally went through with last Monday. But apparently she wasn’t done there. What we haven’t heard about was Sky’s plan for the rest of her body. Sky must have decided that a big old booty just wasn’t enough, so she secretly had her surgeon Dr. Miami add in a brand new set of fun bags while he already had the scalpel in his hand. Just to jog your memory, here’s what it looked like when Sky pushed her cakes to the next level earlier this week: And now, she’s revealing the full package during her follow-up surgical consultation.

Drake Addresses Serena Williams Engagement Rumor Earlier today, rumors began spreading across the interwebs that Drake had already made Serena’s hotline AND finger bling with an engagement rock after only a couple months of officially dating. The couple has been getting progressively more serious, with Serena recently kicking it with Mama Drizzy at his restaurant opening, and the two being spotted just about everywhere together . So…are mazel-tovs in order for the happy couple?? As it turns out…not so much. One of Drake’s woes got in contact with TMZ to shut down all the wedding chatter: There was no “I do” … there was no bended knee … there was no proposal — because Drake and Serena Williams are NOT engaged to be married … this according to a rep for the rapper. The Internet was buzzing this morning with rumors that Drake had popped the question to the tennis star and she accepted … but it just ain’t true. Drake’s rep tells us, “The rumor is completely untrue.” The two have been spending a lot of time together lately — and finally busted out the PDA last month … so, it’s probably not entirely out of the question. But for now, pump the brakes on that wedding talk. Awwww. Well at least the couple is still enjoying each other and having fun…but it’s clear that Papi is still on the market. That info is probably quite a relief to a good number of strippers and Instagram models out there. Ladies, if you’re reading this…it’s NOT too late. SplashNews
Michael Jackson went to extremes to hide his kids from the public, but now they are going public like never before on a new reality series on Lifetime. The Jacksons: Next Generation Scene Prince, Paris and Blanket are among the many participants on The Jacksons: Next Generation , which quietly debuted October 2 on Lifetime. The show focuses on the third generation of the famous family, specifically Taj, Taryll and T.J., Tito Jackson’s sons and nephews of the Jackson 5. The siblings, also known as the music group 3T, have toured and sold more than three million records globally just off their debut album. T.J. Jackson in particular has a unique perspective on how MJ’s kids are raised – he is their legal co-guardian – and why they want to do the show. He says Prince, Paris and Blanket grew up differently than he did, and that his younger cousins were starting to feel trapped by a secluded lifestyle. At 37, T.J. says with wisdom beyond his years that rather than exploiting the trio, this show is letting them come into their own appropriately. In the clip above, he talks about telling the family’s story and legacy from their perspective, and always honoring matriarch Katherine Jackson. Check it out. While Prince, Paris and especially Blanket being on the show at all is sure to raise eyebrows, it’s not the spectacle you might expect.
