Rebecca M Gruber — Thu, 10 May 2012 08:50:02 PDT

Hello Mabel Ray Willis! Bruce Willis and Emma Heming welcomed baby Mabel back on April 1, and the couple just shared the first picture of the precious tot via Emma's Twitter account. Tweeting, "A beautiful day in Budapest with the loves of my life. Daddy and Mabel cracking each other up," we have our first look at the proud papa's fourth child. Baby Mabel joins a long line of celebrity tots who've made their public debut through some careful planning by their parents.

For a long time running, it seemed People had a monopoly on introductory celebaby photos. Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and the Jolie–Pitts all turned to the well-established magazine to show off their newest family members. However, today, many celebs are turning to competitors who are doling out generous offerings to new parents. Others are releasing their own photos - either on their own or through photo agencies - to bypass the whole magazine scenario. See how your favorite Tinseltown parents debuted their lil ones and tell us how you think the newest Hollywood babies will be introduced to us!

6 Ways to Beautifully Silky Platinum Hair Like Christina Aguilera's

Jaime Richards — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:29:00 PDT

There's nothing subtle about platinum hair à la Christina Aguilera. But on last night's The Voice, the singer debuted a more toned-down version of bold blond than what we're used to seeing her wear. "I loved the color and silhouette of Christina's Roland Mouret dress so much," says celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend, who created the subtly waved look. "It was such a great fashion moment with a touch of sexiness, so I wanted her hair to have the same feeling," he adds.

There are a few key things to keep in mind before hitting the peroxide bottle, however. "Very light and platinum hair does require more attention and care than darker hair does," Townsend explains. To see his advice for getting flaxen strands as touchably soft as Christina's, along with steps for getting her exact style, just keep reading.

David Beckham brought his son Romeo Beckham along last night to check out the Lakers game. The Beckham boys were in the front row along with some other stars, like John Krasinski, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Seacrest. The celebs watched as the home team took on the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Lakers ended up losing 102-93. The defeat didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the fans, though. Christina cozied up to her boyfriend Matthew Rutler, and John joked around with a couple of guy friends. David and Romeo, meanwhile, were matching in purple, Lakers-themed ski hats. The Beckham family is all about their West Coast pride. It seems the family is truly settling in LA, as there are rumors David and Victoria are now planning to sell their mansion in the UK. It's also been reported that the Beckhams are selling a French home, in addition to various cars they have at the two places in Europe.

Christina, Adam, Cee Lo, and Blake Give Us a Sneak Peek at The Voice's Second Season

Lindsay Miller — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 05:30:00 PDT

Earlier this week, we stopped by the set of The Voice to hear from the singing competition’s four coaches: Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton. The sophomore season of the NBC reality competition will kick off in the prime post-Super Bowl spot on Feb. 5, and the foursome were on hand, along with host Carson Daly, to share a preview of what’s ahead in 2012. They talked about how the competitors have changed since season one, why they believe their show stands out among other TV talent contests, and how they’re staying involved in the careers of last year’s finalists. Here are some highlights:

Christina on next year’s format: “People wanted to see more of the blind auditions. That’s an amazing part of the show. It keeps all of us on our toes as judges, coaches, as viewers, as the contestant . . . and this year we have to choose 12 people to be on our team as opposed to last year, which there was only eight. So you’re going to see more of that [blind audition] moment.”
Adam on collaborating with last year’s champ Javier: “He’s finishing up his record. I just sang on one of his songs that Pharrell [Williams] did. It sounded amazing . . . it’s coming out soon.”
Blake on how season two's competitors are different: “I actually - which pisses me off still - had a guy ask me . . . I turned around and was telling him how I wanted him on my team, and giving him every reason why I should be his coach, and he said to me and whoever else it was: ‘I already know y’all like me. I want to know which one of you are going to keep me.’ Because he was already thinking ahead to those battle rounds. He knows what’s going to happen when we get to those battle rounds and he wants a commitment further than that, and that’s what we’re faced with because people watched the show last year and they know the game . . . So I told him to kiss my ass.”

For more from the press conference, just

Adam on what distinguishes The Voice from other shows: “The most important thing is that we focus, all of us - I mean, we mess around, we have fun up here - but at the end of the day, it’s really about developing talent, because it’s become something that really can be a potential launch pad for musicians and artists and singers. That’s an exciting prospect, especially being in a business that’s kind of odd. It’s kind of like the Wild West right now and no one really knows which way is up . . . It is unlike any other show in my opinion”

Blake on why he initially signed on as a coach: “I signed on to do it originally because of the three other artists that were involved. I kind of dragged my feet a little bit as far as making a commitment . . . and once I saw who the other three were, [I thought] ‘Holy sh*t! I read about Christina Aguilera all the time. I know she’s a big deal. And I know these people know what they’re doing in this business, [which is] not my world, so I just decided to do it basically because I figured the three of them would know something I didn't know!”
Cee Lo on performing at the upcoming Victoria’s Secret fashion show: “Yeah, I'm excited about it. I mean, beautiful women? What's to complain about? I've already got my outfit picked out.”
Christina on whether last year’s finalists actually landed record deals: ”I think all of them have . . . That’s the great thing about the show. Even if you don’t win the end title, you’re just out there on such a massive scale where anything’s possible for your career even if you don’t make it to the end and actually become a winner. Dia’s going on tour with [Blake], I know.”

Beyoncé Knowles Covers W's Music Issue Along With Christina Aguilera

Allie Merriam — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 11:56:25 PDT

Beyoncé Knowles and Christina Aguilera shared the honor of covering July's music edition of W. Both singers are at exciting points in their careers - Christina has found a new outlet on TV with NBC's The Voice while Beyoncé is gearing up for the release of her new album 4. Beyoncé spoke to the magazine about her vision and inspiration for the tracks, even revealing the important meaning of the record's title. Beyoncé said in W:

On her vision: "When I sing a song, I definitely have the image for the video in my mind. I kind of hear the choreography that will be in the video, and I can see how I’ll look, even before anyone - the record company, the director - has heard the song."
On her new record: "I wanted this record to come from a raw place. Playing Etta James in the movie Cadillac Records really changed me. It was a darker character, and I realized that if anything is too comfortable, I want to run from it. It’s no fun being safe."
On the symbolism of her album's title: "The fans have named the album 4. And four is my favorite number. It’s an important number in my life: the date of my birthday, my mom’s birthday, my husband’s birthday, the day I got married. Barack Obama is the 44th president, and I performed ‘At Last’ by Etta James at his inauguration."

Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, and More Perform "Crazy" on The Voice

4 Ways The Voice Is Different From American Idol

Shannon Vestal — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 04:30:00 PDT

NBC's new singing competition series The Voice premieres tonight, with Carson Daly on board as host. Four musicians make up the judges' panel: Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, and Cee Lo Green. Like its competitor American Idol, the show will narrow down a pool of hopefuls to one victor, who'll be rewarded with $100,000 and a recording contract for Universal Music Group. But this isn't just an Idol clone: here are the four main differences that set it apart.

Blind auditions. When the contestants are first trying out, the coaches are turned away from them so that they're not influenced by the contestants' appearance or age; the only deciding factor is their voice.
The celebrity judges aren't just there to critique. Once the judges decide they like someone's voice, they're allowed to see them. At that point, the contestant becomes a part of that coach's team, and they then mentor the contestants to a win.
The judges are actually pitted against each other. Because each coach wants someone that they've coached to win, Shelton, Levine, Green, and Aguilera may have to fight over contestants to get them on their team. The arguments they'll have to provide to get the contestants to pick them may end up being the source of the most entertainment.
The furniture is interactive. The big fancy red seats that the judges sit in aren't just a place to recline; they turn away from the contestants, but at the push of a button, the seats automatically swivel the judge around to face the stage.
