Blake Shelton v. Miranda Lambert: The Mud-Slinging Continues

 What happens when two dramatic country music stars file for divorce? Press leaks, accusations of cheating, alcoholism, and abandonment, of course. It’s been just days since Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton revealed the end of their marriage, and they’ve since engaged in some unconscionable mud-slinging, courtesy of endless leaks to TMZ. They dodged divorce rumors for years, often criticizing rag mags for the hits on their union, with Shelton even using the hashtag #suckadick in his denial. And while we are all entitled to change our tune and end a relationship that once brought us bliss, please refrain from using the same entity to sling mud that you previously criticized. 

I realize that when feelings are hurt and our reputations are threatened, it’s easy to cave and publicly criticize our partner, but I’d like to think that being an adult means we are more evolved than this garbage. My advice to both these clowns is this: exit your relationship with the same dignity you entered it with, and shut up your horrible PR teams. You are acting like petulant children, and you should know better. The public didn’t have the right to know your private business when you were married, and they don’t have a right to know when you’re divorced. And if either one of you feel your reputations are irreparably threatened, just remember that in less than a month the vultures will move onto their next victim. 

UPDATE: It appears the country stars got my memo, and are now exchanging silly tweets.

Chris Young Responds to Blake Shelton Drama

  TMZ named Chris Young as a contributing factor to Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert’s divorce, and the country singer has now responded to the allegations on twitter, explaining that he is a friend with both, and “would never do anything to betray that friendship.” While that’s a nice soundbite, it’s either untrue, or Blake Shelton doesn’t believe it, because I would bet my bank account on the fact that his team leaked the cheating news to TMZ, after being fed up with his name getting dragged through the mud amidst his own cheating rumors. And given that this is one of the fastest divorces I’ve seen, bad blood is believable. As for why Lambert would allegedly cheat, who knows. We aren’t inside their marriage, and there are three sides to every story.

Jimmy Fallon Sings Duets With Barbara Streisand: WATCH NOW

Barbara Streisand made a refreshing return to late-night television last night, where the iconic singer performed duets off her latest record beside Jimmy Fallon, who played the role of Elvis, Michael Buble, and Blake Shelton. Hats off to the host for getting the iconic ice queen to loosen up a bit. Watch below.

Caroline Pennell Sings ‘Anything Could Happen’ on The Voice — WATCH NOW

If you follow The Voice, then you know that Blake Shelton picks his contestants based on tone, not range. That philosophy has served him well, garnering three wins as a mentor on the show. So when Caroline Pennell sang ‘Anything Could Happen,’ I knew Blake would immediately turn around. Unfortunately, Caroline missed the memo on the most loyal judges and chose Cee Lo Green as her mentor, in what will likely result in post-show oblivion. Watch her strikingly good performance below.

Danielle Bradbery Wins The Voice — Blake Shelton is a Happy Man

Danielle Bradbery won The Voice, and she sure deserved it. The Voice desperately needed a main-stream star, because after three seasons, they had yet to compete with American Idol’s track record. I think it’s safe to say they’re now in the clear. Danielle is going to be huge. Watch her top performances below.

‘The Voice’: Did Adam Levine Abandon Javier Colon?


NBC has two seasons to make the winners of The Voice into huge stars and after that, they will lose all credibility. American Idol may be threatened by The Voice, but Idol has made some of the biggest stars in history and it is therefore more than just a talent show. So this brings me to a very important question: What happened to Javier Colon? Where is he? Why isn’t he booked on late night shows singing a hit single? When is his album coming out? And most importantly — why the fu*k isn’t Adam Levine doing anything to propel his career? Adam appeared on Howard Stern yesterday and mentioned Colon, saying that he’s trying to help him, and Colon is “struggling.” He also made a moderately condescending remark about how the winners have to take their career by the reigns after the show is finished. Perhaps he should look to Blake Shelton who took Dia Frampton on his tour. You don’t get to sit on your throne touting that you “won” season one, especially when the contestant you won with can’t sustain a career.

The Best Judge on ‘The Voice’ — Blake Shelton

If I were a contestant on The Voice, it would take me one millisecond to choose Blake Shelton as my mentor. The reason? He’s the only judge with post-show loyalty. It’s not about winning the show, it’s about what happens after you win the show, and a huge part of an artist’s success is whether other artists with more fame promote them. And Blake Shelton constantly promotes Dia Frampton and Xenia, two contestants from the last season of the show. Sure Adam Levine won with Javier Colon, but does he invite him to sing at Maroon 5 concerts? In fact, Dia Frampton is joining Blake Shelton on tour. You can’t beat that type of exposure. There is no way Christina Aguilera would make that same type of offer.

Dia Frampton Tours With Blake Shelton — And Her Meg & Dia Band

The greatest thing about getting famous is that you get to bring your friends along with you for the ride. That is — if you remember them on your way to the top. And Dia Frampton definitely remembered. She was one of the finalists on NBC’s breakout hit, The Voice, and she began her career as a struggling independent artist for years in the band Meg & Dia, where she performed alongside her sister. Though she’s now touring as a solo artist, she’s still performing with every member of her original band, a loyal choice that makes me love her eternally. When asked if her band was okay with the transition, she said, “There isn’t one straight path to get you to the end. There are stops, and reversals, and perhaps other routes . . . ” Listen to her song, “The Broken Ones,” from her new album, Red.
