Katrina Parker is killing us — but not softly. We’re very aware of her power, and after the rendition of the Fugees’ ‘Killing Me Softly’ she gave on Monday’s live episode of ‘The Voice,’ we sure hope the other seven hopefuls are too.

If you don’t know Jamar Rogers by now, well, where have you been? Jamar is one of the last standing eight on ‘The Voice,’ representing Team Cee Lo and going for a big win. On Monday’s episode, he proved that he has a legitimate chance of taking it all home.

“Having the right song at the right moment has proven to be critical,” Tony Lucca said before kicking off Monday’s live episode of ‘The Voice.’ “There’s no room for error.” Thankfully, errors were nowhere to be found in the singer-songwriter’s delivery — he pumped up the crowd with every leap across the stage during his cover of the Heavy’s ‘How You Like Me Now.’

Being a judge on ‘The Voice‘ may be tough, but it doesn’t hold a Zippo flame to being a fan on the edge of her seat while watching the battle rounds. On Monday, rockers Jordis Unga and Brian Fuente took the stage to make their duet delivery of Alanis Morissette’s ‘Ironic,’ both incredibly anxious knowing only one would be allowed to stay by the time the episode drew to an end.

When you’re a contestant on ‘The Voice,’ having a ‘case of the Mondays’ isn’t such a bad thing … unless you lose in the battle round, of course. In tonight’s premiere cage match episode, Blake Shelton chose an obvious pairing, putting country cutie RaeLynn up against twangin’ powerhouse Adley Stump.

Taylor Swift is a lot of things, but she’s no LL Cool J. Understandably, as a pop/country-singing ‘Love Story’ starlet, T-Swizzle is just a little lacking in the rap category, as is proven in a new 2012 Grammys promo where she attempts to beatbox. And fails. Miserably.

As Justin Timberlake grows older — he turned 31 on Tuesday — it seems he’s seasoning his resume with more established roles, trading in stringed puppet dancing for big time movie parts, like his upcoming baseball flick alongside Clint Eastwood.

With every tick on the clock, we grow closer to the 2012 Super Bowl — and while that has football and music fans alike excited, it has this year’s halftime act on edge. Who knew Madonna could still get nervous?

It seems that the pop stars are just excited about this year’s big Grammy event as we are. Following Taylor Swift‘s lead, Barbie queen Nicki Minaj has popped up in a photo alongside the 2012 Grammy Awards host, LL Cool J.

Word on the street is that Madonna won’t be the only one party rockin’ at the 2012 Super Bowl — LMFAO is expected to join her. And by word on the street, we mean that’s what will.i.am is claiming.

Divorce rumors are swirling around Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s decade-long marriage, and if they’re true, the No Doubt blondie could soon become ‘Just a Girl.’

Lea Michele shows off her legs — and her baking skills — in her new Candie’s ad photos. The ‘Glee‘ famer is the latest spokesperson for the brand, and she’ll tell you first hand that she’s pretty happy about being on board.
