First things first: today is the anniversary of a national tragedy, and that's something we'll never forget. Yet as somber as the occasion is, we've got another hour's worth of The Voice blind auditions to get to, and darned if they don't provide at least a little bit of a morale boost. It's uplifting to see more hopeful artists get a shot at realizing their dreams.

Picking up where last night left off, each of our coaches is trying to fill 14 open spaces on their team, all four having selected two artists on Monday. The first artist of the night is Adriana Louise, who tells a har...

Aside from a little case of deja vu, it feels pretty good to have The Voice back on our airwaves. Season 3 starts with our four superstar coaches taking the stage yet again, this time for a rendition of the Rolling Stones' classic "Start Me Up" - which A) sounds great and B) is a reminder that no other celeb panel on TV has the street cred that these folks do. Although I could do without the confetti. But let's get to the competition, shall we?

The coaches have 16 spots to fill on their teams this time, up again from last season's 12 (though they're going to be going into live shows w...

It's the day we've all been waiting for (since May, anyway): the premiere of Season 3 of The Voice. There's a lot to talk about this time around, as we're still catching our breath from the end of Season 2. This is the season that could either be an incredible boost to NBC, or we could be talking about it as the season that didn't quite work. There's only one way to find out, and that's by tuning in and seeing what happens.

Here are six things to watch for in this season of The Voice:

1. The ratings. How will The Voice perform in the fall? Not only is it going head-to-head with FOX...

A new season of NBC's The Voice is only one week away. As you prepare to meet the artists of Season 3, Big Red Chairs is looking back at the singers who captured your attention in Season 2 earlier this year.

Season 2 was won by Blake Shelton's finalist, Jermaine Paul. The runner-up was Team Cee Lo's Juliet Simms, followed by Team Adam's Tony Lucca in third place, and Team Christina's Chris Mann coming in fourth. But what's happened to them in the just under four months since we last saw them?

Winner Jermaine Paul was signed to a record deal with Universal Republic Records, through which...

A new season of NBC's The Voice is only two weeks away. As you prepare to meet the artists of Season 3, Big Red Chairs is looking back at the singers who started it all in the show's first season, back before it was an Emmy-nominated smash hit.

The Voice premiered in April 2011 with coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera mentoring teams of eight vocalists each in a bid to find "The Voice." The catch: they selected these eight artists from blind auditions, making their choices solely on what they heard by pressing a big red button (as above with Green, lef...

The Voice has made significant changes for its upcoming third season, and producers are talking about the biggest change of all - new coaches - according to executive producer Mark Burnett, who addressed the media alongside coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera earlier this week.

According to Big Red Chairs: After NBC exec Bob Greenblatt talked earlier this year about wanting to incorporate the coaches' signature chairs into the battle round phase of competition, the show has done just that. In a new twist called "the steal," during the battles, the arti...

Maroon 5 have offered up a string of prizes for a charity auction to raise money for a sick toddler.

The Moves Like Jagger hit-makers were moved by the plight of Zoe Feldman, who was recently diagnosed with sarcoma botryoides - malignant tumors of the muscles - and must undergo two forms of chemotherapy.

The band is now staging a sale on auction website CharityBuzz.com to help pay Feldman's medical bills, with lots including the chance to meet Maroon 5 at a concert next year and a signed guitar.

Hopefuls can also bid for the chance to come face-to-face with frontman Adam Levine at a t...

Channing Tatum's wife Jenna Dewan and Adam Levine are hooking up on the small screen. The singer will romance the actress in FX drama "American Horror Story."

Earlier this summer the Maroon 5 star signed on for season two of the drama, and his love interest has finally been confirmed. Season two will focus on an institution for the criminally insane during the 1960s.

Creator Ryan Murphy told E! Online, ""The second season is fun, sexy and baroque. It has a lot of meat to it; it's a really gritty part."

The series picked up 17 Emmy Award nominations earlier this month. Dewan and Levine wi...

Mary J. Blige has signed on to mentor Maroon 5 star Adam Levine's wannabes on The Voice.

Blige will serve as his team's adviser on the hit show's upcoming third season, which will debut in September.

Thrilled Levine, who counted Robin Thicke and Alanis Morissette among his co-mentors last season, says, "I've always been a huge fan of Mary J. Blige."

The odd couple has already started filming together, with Blige adding, "I love Adam, he's amazing. I'm so happy to be working with him and his team."

The announcement comes just days after Michael Buble revealed he would be helping Levine's...

Maroon 5 rocker Adam Levine is certain his experiments with hallucinogenic drugs were "valuable and beneficial," because they made him understand himself better.

The singer admits he got high using magic mushrooms in the past, and reveals the experience helped him rediscover a childlike view of the world around him.

He tells Q magazine, "I definitely, firmly believe that the experience I had on mushrooms made me understand certain things about myself that I probably wouldn't have otherwise."

"What I took away from that experience was valuable and beneficial to me. It really forced me ...

Chef Mario Batali took some time out of his busy schedule recently to give us some summer entertaining tips - and to spill on his experience golfing alongside Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.

Batali chatted with me from Michigan, where he's working with the state's tourism board. In the video interview below, you'll find out his favorite Michigan destination, as well as a great recipe to liven up your summer party in a few easy steps.

He also talked about his experience golfing alongside the Grammy-winning Levine when the two competed on The Golf Channel's The Haney Project earlier this y...

"True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgard seems to have found another famous blonde to cozy up to. The actor, who split from actress Kate Bosworth last year, has been linked to Adam Levine's model ex Anne Vyalitsyna.

Levine, the frontman of Maroon 5, separated from the Sports Illustrated/Victoria's Secret model earlier this year. She and Skarsgard have since been spending time together in New York City, according to Life & Style magazine.

"They got together about a month ago in NYC and are still hooking up. She's been telling all her friends about him!" a source told the publication.

But the...

It wasn't all roses and sunshine behind the scenes when "The Voice" first debuted. Adam Levine and his co-judge Christina Aguilera didn't get along when they first met, the rocker reveals.

Last year Levine and Aguilera joined Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton on the hit reality show, but the pop star and Maroon 5 frontman hit the headlines for the wrong reasons following speculation of a bust-up behind-the-scenes.

Although they produced hit song "Moves Like Jagger" together, the rumors persisted.

Levine reveals that when they first started working together they butted heads, but they worked...

Rocker Adam Levine is lining up his big screen debut just weeks after confirming he's to test out his acting skills for the first time in TV hit American Horror Story.

The Maroon 5 frontman has been cast in the second season of the creepy TV drama despite his lack of acting experience.

He is yet to film his scenes on the show, but has already landed a part in new movie Can A Song Save Your Life alongside Keira Knightley, according to Deadline.com.

However, the role won't steer too far away from type - Levine will play a wannabe rocker who ditches his girlfriend, played by Knightley, a...

Rocker Adam Levine has gone public with his new girlfriend after they were spotted smooching in Hawaii this week, two months after he split from Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna.

The Maroon 5 star was snapped affectionately cuddling and kissing Namibian catwalk star Behati Prinsloo in the tropical island, and was later photographed again holding hands with the brunette beauty at Los Angeles' Mustard Seed Cafe on Thursday.

He split from Vyalitsyna, his girlfriend of two years, in April, but it appears the singing Lothario has already moved on.

His new romance could prompt an awkward encou...

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine signed up as a judge on hit TV series The Voice to disprove assumptions he was just a "bimbo" who "dated pretty girls."

The She Will Be Loved hit-maker was approached to star on the talent competition alongside Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green back in 2011 and while he was hesitant at first, Levine knew the TV exposure would give him a chance to change his reputation.

He tells Details magazine, "I've always felt a little misrepresented in the world. I felt like people only knew me as a singer who dated pretty girls. A little bit of a bimbo...

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has vowed never to quit and go solo - because he can't imagine his idol Bono releasing an album without U2.

The Moves Like Jagger singer accepts his band may split one day - but he'd rather form another group than go solo.

He says, "I'll never be a solo artist... Being in a band is much more fun."

And he tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "Look at a band like U2 that has been around forever - I'm not sure how people would react to a record called Bono. I don't want to ever be that person.

"It's much cooler to be in a band with my bros."

Host Carson Daly welcomes us to The Voice finale. There have been three months of blind auditions, battles and live performances. Four contestants - Jermaine Paul, Tony Lucca, Chris Mann and Juliet Simms - have given everything they’ve got to win over their coaches and the viewing audience. The four celebrity coaches - Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, and Christina Aguilera - have done their best to pick winning vocalists, and to nurture the musical talents to this peak point.

It’s all over but the two hours that our poor finalists will have to endure before discovering just ...

It’s the beginning of the end for the Final Four. Jermaine Paul, Tony Lucca, Chris Mann and Juliet Simms will face the audience to see who will win the title of this season’s The Voice. Host Carson Daly is excited, coaches Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, and Christina Aguilera are excited, and the studio audience is frenzied.

Only the audience’s votes will be counted for the final vote. Each of the vocalists will sing three times; a solo, a duet with their coach, and a tribute to their coach, singing one of the songs their coach made famous.

The night begins with a look back at...

Some familiar faces joined the new during The Voice’s semi-final eliminations. Host Carson Daly welcomed special guests including Dia Frampton, Beverly McClellan, Vicci Martinez and Javier Colon, all of whom were last year's finalists.

The eight hopefuls, Tony Lucca, Erin Willett, Chris Mann, Jamar Rogers, Jermaine Paul, Katrina Parker, Lindsey Pavao, and Juliet Simms, battled it out on Monday’s episode, and discovered tonight what the coach judges and America thought of their efforts.

The process is a little complicated, involving 100 points for each coach to split between their team mem...

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt wishes she had never mentioned her crush on rocker Adam Levine, insisting the revelation has made her look like a "fool".

The TV star went public with her feelings for the Maroon 5 singer earlier this month during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, revealing she was interested in him following his split from supermodel Anne Vyalitsyna.

She was embarrassed that The Voice judge had not responded to her interest, prompting Levine to tell reporters, "It's very flattering and very sweet and lovely to hear."

But Hewitt is cringing over her crush, and has vow...

Oh snap, Tony Lucca. That was just perfect.

After taking a jab last week for scoring some Twitter support from his Mickey Mouse Club pal Justin Timberlake by fellow Mouse House vet Christina Aguilera, The Voice's handsome troubadour wannabe took the quarter-finals stage last night and did what any self-respecting artist would do: He covered another famed MMC alum, Britney Spears.

We spotted singer Adam Levine splattered in fake blood while filming action scenes for Maroon 5's new music video "Payphone" in Downtown Los Angeles yesterday.

At one point "The Voice" judge drove a classic Shelby Cobra sports car before getting into a police chase on a bridge overlooking a scenic cityscape.

The singer seemed to be having a great time on set. At one point he gave the middle finger to photographers before breaking into laughter.

Next week Cee Lo Green and Adam have difficult decisions to make. Each must each pick off two contestants from their teams.

Christina Aguilera has laughed off reports she snubbed Justin Bieber when he appeared on her show "The Voice on Tuesday."

Bieber debuted a sneak peak of his new video for "Boyfriend" and then jumped off stage to greet the judges - Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Aguilera. After he hugged the blonde starlet, her smile turned into a look of disgust.

When news of her ice cold reaction spread on the internet, Christina tweeted, "Haha! The media loves spinning stories...Can't a girl have a little Bieber Fever after getting kissed by the Biebs?"

What do you think of Christina's re...

On Tuesday night's episode of "The Voice" Christina Aguilera was forced to make another difficult elimination decision. The previous night she stirred up some controversy by surprisingly kicking off favorite Jesse Campbell.

Last night, she knocked Ashley De La Rosa out of the competition while saving Lindsey Pavao because her performance of Mike Posner's "Please Don't Go" made the blonde pop starlet cry.

Meanwhile, on Team Blake Shelton, RaeLynn sang the country song, "If I Die Young," by the Band Perry. But it wasn't quite good enough for Shelton, who gave her the boot and elected to sav...

The producers of NBC's The Voice aren't making it easy: on Monday's performance show, an "instant elimination" forced two coaches to chop two artists before America's vote.

Neither the singers nor the coaches were fans of the surprise axe. Blake Shelton remarked that if he knew who was responsible for the idea, he'd kick them - and Team Blake's Erin Willett was quick to concur.

"I'm still unhappy with it. I think that's the worst thing we've done," said Team Christina's Chris Mann after the show.

Perhaps the only one to see any merit in the idea was Adam Levine, who remarked that it at...

Rocker Adam Levine has finally responded to Jennifer Love Hewitt's romance request, confessing he's flattered that the actress went public with her crush on him.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer star went public with her feelings for the Maroon 5 singer last week during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, revealing she was interested in him as her leading man following his split from supermodel Anne Vyalitsyna.

But when Levine failed to respond to her remarks online, the actress feared she'd upset him.

In a radio interview with Texas DJ Bobby Bones on Friday, she said, "I feel l...

It was decision time again on NBC's The Voice, this time for Team Adam and Team Cee Lo. Who did America save and who sung their last song Tuesday night?

For Team Adam, the bottom three were a trio of lovely ladies: Kim Yarbrough, Katrina Parker and Karla Davis. It was Katrina's heartbreaking rendition of No Doubt's "Don't Speak" that won her Adam's one reprieve.

On Team Cee Lo, facing elimination were Tony Vincent, Cheesa, and Erin Martin. Cheesa delivered a powerful version of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" that earned her a second chance, despite Cee Lo first saying that his head was l...

Here's the latest on and around NBC's The Voice: Team Adam went head-to-head with Team Cee Lo, and I have my thoughts plus the artists share theirs post-show!

It was another entertaining night on The Voice on Monday, but perhaps even moreso because again, putting Team Cee Lo against...well, any of the other three teams really shows how distinct Cee Lo's ideas are. While Team Adam stuck with fairly simple setups (perhaps the most production came with the giant airplane wing that Karla Davis got to sing on), Team Red Zone had guitar players on stilts for Jamar Rogers and a whole Egyptian s...

Jennifer Love Hewitt has apologized to rocker Adam Levine for going public about her feelings for him, but feels the singer should have at least acknowledged her compliments.

The TV star offered herself up as the Maroon 5 frontman's new girl after hearing he had split from supermodel Anne Vyalitsnya earlier this week.

During an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" she hinted that she'd like to hook up with newly-single Levine, telling the comedienne and host, "I'm just saying. Look, we would be cute."

But now Love Hewitt is backtracking after her remarks were met by a fury of press a...
