Cee Lo Green: The X Factor Should Worry About The Voice
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Gossip,
Cee Lo Green thinks X Factor bosses should be "concerned" about The Voice.
The "Bright Lights Bigger City" hitmaker - who sits alongside Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton on the panel of the NBC talent show - isn't worried about the rival singing program going up against the series because he believes they are "completely different."
"The premises of each show are just completely different. I think if anybody should be concerned, it's them," he said when speaking on The Tonight Show.
Earlier in the current series of The Voice, the 37-year-old singer broke down in tears three times in an episode of the talent show during the emotional Battle round. Cee Lo was crushed while struggling to choose who to send through to the next round out of hopefuls Justin Hopkins and Tony Vincent, and he was also cried during rehearsal when one wannabe sang Cindy Lauper's "True Colors."
"This song moves people, that's what this song is doing right here. That song made me cry, man. I'm proud of you all, man. Wow, dude. OK man, OK I surrender. I don't sing like that. I can't help but be humbled by it. Final words of advice, live it, love it and just be in the moment," he said after the performance.

Carrie Underwood Rules Out X Factor Gig
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Carrie Underwood would never join the X Factor panel because she is too loyal to American Idol.
The "Good Girl" singer shot to fame on the pop star search show and although she has been linked to one of the vacant roles on the X Factor judging panel, she insists she is "an Idol girl all the way."
"I think it's great that Simon Cowell has The X Factor show, and I love seeing all of these shows giving nobodies a big opportunity. But I'm an Idol girl all the way. That's the one that I love and watch. I can't see myself being a part of any another show like that," she told Extra.
Carrie also revealed she and NHL player husband Mike Fisher - whom she married in 2010 - are too busy for kids right now but are enjoying spending time together: "I have my best friend around me all the time. Everybody's like, 'The first year is the hardest,' and I'm like, 'That's it? That was the hardest? Come on, you can do better than that!' It's great; he's wonderful. I'm good right now. As long as he's playing [hockey] and I'm doing this, it doesn't make sense. So no babies."

Nick Jonas wants to appear on Glee. The Jonas Brothers star - who recently made a cameo appearance in NBC's Smash - would love producers on the musical drama series to invite him to take on a guest role.

There hasn't been yet, and that's cool. So it's all a matter if they wanted to have me. I'd be totally open to it," he said when asked if he wanted to appear on the show.
Nick has been appearing in Broadway musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and is enjoying his the stint in the show, but admits things haven't always run smoothly: "There have been some funny moments. In my first week, I was still getting comfortable, obviously. On the last show of the week, I completely lost my place in the middle of one of my big lines and, luckily, a castmate helped me out but I completely lost it.''
Madonna’s Perfume Ad Too Racy for TV
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, ABC, Gossip, News, Video,
Madonna's perfume commercial is too racy for TV. The "Girls Gone Wild" singer's new 30-second black-and-white ad for her Truth or Dare scent have been deemed inappropriate for Disney-owned channel ABC with bosses ordering that shots of her breasts and butt be digitally altered to cover them up.
"ABC viewed the ad [and] came back with a list of changes. They say they want her bra digitally made bigger, and to extend higher to cover more of her chest, and her corset longer to cover more of her bottom. ABC also wants to cut another suggestive scene where Madonna writhes around," a source the New York Post's Page Six.
However, even once the changes have been made, channel bosses have ruled the ad (seen after the jump) can only run after the 9pm watershed, with the exception of daytime show The View.
"ABC has requested some changes be made to the content of the Truth or Dare perfume commercial," another source said.
