Kylie Minogue The Voice Australia 2014
Between two new mega-watt stars and a spin-off series; 2014 is set to be a huge year for The Voice Australia.
Channel Nine confirmed today that Kylie Minogue and will.i.am will be leaving their post on the UK version of the show to coach Aussie contestants in the battle for signing stardom. They will join The Voice Australia veterans Ricky Martin and Joel Madden as coaches, and Darren McMullen will return as host.
Of the new gig, will.i.am, who found his fame in The Black Eyed Peas before venturing into a solo career, said, “It is an honour to join The Voice Australia as a Coach working alongside Kylie Minogue, Ricky Martin, and Joel Madden. Australia is a highly creative country and a place with many good memories that have shaped my music career.
And our homegrown star Kylie spilled, “I am so excited to be coming home and being a coach on The Voice. I look forward to spending time in Australia, getting up close and personal with new talent and working alongside the three amazing artists: Ricky, Joel, and will.i.am.”
Seal, who will be taking a break from The Voice this time around, said, “I wish all the Coaches and contestants well. To my Australian fans, sorry to not be back for this upcoming season, but I wanted this window of time to focus on a number of exciting career priorities — a new album, a TV and internet project and, most importantly, precious time with my children.”
Meanwhile, Delta Goodrem will be heading over to coach on the first season of The Voice Kids where Joel Madden will also become a host to the hopefuls aged 8 – 14.
Bring on 2014!
James Franco and Seth Rogan Parody Kanye’s Bound 2
While we’ve continued to ponder whether the clip for Kanye West’s Bound 2 is just so cool we don’t even know its cool yet, James Franco and Seth Rogan have been busy making a parody of it and now the fruits of their labour have been released to the world.
In the spoof, Rogan masters the art of camera seduction and suggestive motocycle riding as he plays Kim Kardashian to Franco’s Kanye and the result is nothing short of hilarious.
Rumour has it the pair made the clip while bored on the set of their new film The Interview. Seems like a pretty good way to kill a few hours if you ask us.
Watch the clip below and try to imagine Kim K’s reaction to seeing Rogan make fun of her every move…
Georgia May Jagger for Thomas Sabo
Georgia May Jagger has a new gig as brand ambassador for Thomas Sabo for 2014!
The model joined founder of the international jewellery brand Mr Thomas Sabo, Creative Director Susanne Köbli, and campaign photographer Ellen von Unwerth at London’s Café Royal Hotel for the announcement which coincided with the brand’s new Karma Beads collection.
We can’t wait to see the campaign shots for the collection which consists of 72 beads each of which signify positive energy, joie de vivre and fortune. They’re set to launch in Australia in March 2014 as a part of the Spring Summer 2014 Sterling Silver collection.
