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

Alaric Saltzman is about to say “I Do.” Prior to exchanging vows with his pregnant fiancee, however, our favorite college professor will have a sack thrown over his head and abducted. By whom? We think we have an idea, but check out the following sneak peek from The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 20 and see if you can guess: The Vampire Diaries Clip – Oh, No, Alaric!

In one of the many sketches to air last night on NBC during its Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary spectacular, Bradley Cooper kissed Betty White . Incredibly, however, this was NOT the most awkward moment to occur during the telecast. No, that honor fell instead to the time cameras caught Taylor Swift sitting alongside Sarah Palin… and looking none too thrilled about the seating arrangement. The snapshot taken above took place during an audience question and answer segment hosted by Jerry Seinfeld. Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson (not pictured) is standing behind Swift and Palin, speaking to the comedian and, to be fair, Swift is likely just watching her do so on a monitor in front of the stands. But still. She isn’t exactly doing so with a smile on her face, is she? Let’s take a look at the segment in its entirety: SNL 40th Anniversary Special – Audience Q&A Swift and Palin were just two of MANY A-Listers who attended this Saturday Night Live special. Among other memorable moments from the three and a half hours, Will Ferrell brought back his take on Alex Trebek for Celebrity Jeopardy , while Swift likely forgot all about her Palin non-interaction not long after the show ended… … because she got to sing Shake It Off with Paul McCartney at an after-party.

In an epic Fashion Face-Off for the ages! Sort of literally! Honest Abe and G-Dubs’ duds haven’t been popular in ages, yet by the same token, you never go out of style when you’re a legend, a titan in the pantheon of history.

That’s what we wanna know! View Poll » George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, people. Bow down. The very first President of the United States, the General who started it all, Washington led the rebellion over Great Britain, then oversaw the birth of a nation. Sort of puts the rest of our lives in pathetic perspective. Except for Lincoln, who, four score and seven years later, delivered the Gettysburg Address, vying to preserve the union his predecessors fought valiantly for. Against similarly long odds, both leaders delivered. In their respective eras and this one, they are giants among men. Ranking their achievements and legacies is impossible … but we can at least do fashion. Vote for your favorite Presidential attire above!

Whoever told you not to date your co-workers most likely didn’t work in the entertainment industry or read celebrity gossip sites because … well, it happens a lot. A LOT a lot. These 21 beloved couples who paired up on TV shows past on present got so into character, they decided to give real-life romance a shot. Some of them even lasted, too! Others … yeah, not so much … 21 TV Couples Who Dated in Real Life 1. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis The running joke during That 70s Show was that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis should date in real life. Now they’re engaged with a baby on the way. Why do so many hot TV cast members end up dating their co-workers? Working 70-80 hours a week on location with them might be a major contributor. By definition, they have a lot in common. And probably don’t see many other human beings for months at a time. So there is the convenience factor! For viewers, it can be difficult at times to tell whether you’re watching art imitate life or vice versa, especially if the duo receives celebrity gossip coverage. If you’re a fan of The Vampire Diaries , you know this phenomenon well. So see the gallery above and see 21 famous couples on TV and in real life that dated professionally and personally, and gave it the old college try. Or in the case of Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher , the old high school try and the 30-something try, having skipped the whole college and early 20s phase. Mila and Ashton are perhaps the exception to the rule, married (possibly, or at least close) with a child while other TV romances were as short lived as … Well, some of the shows they were on. Not everyone’s a winner. Which are your favorites? Which couples did you not even know dated on their respective shows, or outside of them? Discuss in the comments below!
She’s still in her first trimester, but Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard spent the weekend getting ready for the arrival of their first child … by setting up a registry! “Having fun creating our baby registry!” Dillard, 25, wrote alongside a photo of them scanning items. “Looking forward to ‘Baby Dilly’s’ arrival in just 6 months!” Like Jill and Derick’s wedding registry , the proud future parents actually have multiple, and they’re not fancy. This is a no-frills couple, TLC fame be darned. So far, the Dillards have requested a three-piece crib bed set with a vintage floral print, pacifiers and bibs emblazoned with Arkansas Razorbacks logos. Standard stuff right there. They also want a video monitor, which should make it easier than ever for them to take photos of #BabyDilly sleeping for their respective Instagram pages. And, of course, the pregnant Jill Duggar posted an Instagram picture of herself on her husband’s lap, asking about “cloth diapers when ‘Baby Dilly’ arrives.” “Any suggestions?” Well? Anyone? Watch 19 Kids and Counting Season 8 Episode 3 Online Diapers aside, Jill is already reaching major milestone in her first pregnancy; Dillard shared a picture of his wife and her growing baby bump last week. Standing from a side angle and holding a sign that read “12 weeks 1 day,” one can almost make out a Jill Duggar baby bump if one tries. And it’s adorable. Duggar, 23, says she wouldn’t be able to get through this without the help of her “amazing” husband, who could not be happier with their baby news. “He is so good!” Duggar gushed about Dillard, whom she married in June. “Grabbing me water…so he is so sweet. He is amazing … Married life is the best!” “He makes sure he gives me snacks before I get out of bed – protein snacks or saltines just so I’ll have something in my tummy before I start moving around.” Aww. How cute are these two? Catch Jill, Derick and the rest of the Duggar family this week when you watch 19 Kids and Counting online at TV Fanatic! Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos! 1.
