I have thought (for a few weeks) that Team Cee-Lo was going to win The Voice this season - either Juliette or Jamal...after Monday's final performance, though, I thought Team Adam Levine was going to pull off the win (cuz Tony Lucca was smushed by Christina Aguilera again, and people love voting for the underdog), then we got the results...

Blake Shelton won the show with the amazing talent of his team-member Jermaine Paul - who used to be a backup singer for Alicia Keys!!!  Check out the great moment:

And if you missed them, here are Justin Bieber's and Lady Antebellum's performances:

After years of small contributions toward equal rights for gay individuals, President Obama definitely stated his beliefs about gay marriage this week.  Personally, I have always seen this as a human-rights issue, so I was very proud of the President for having spoken on his opinion, rather than skirting the issue.  It seems (to me) to be an issue that the government should be addressing from a legal standpoint.

Here is what POTUS had to say:

Even before The Avengers was released in the US this weekend, it was already RACKING up the dough around the world!  We certainly didn't get stingy with them - I actually tried to go see it at three theaters, and EVERYTHING (except the front row...barf) was sold out!

Check out the accolades from opening weekend:

OPENED WITH $200.3 million

highest grossing opening weekend in IMAX history

biggest midnight opening for a superhero movie

fastest film to reach $200 million (3 days)

biggest opening weekend of all time in eleven other countries

Worldwide total of $641.8 million

And here's what we missed (if you ran into the "Sold Out" story, too)

Umm...see what you think..  Does Rihanna looks 'sick' during her performance on Saturday Night Live this weekend?

Just before the show (audience already in the studio), Rihanna called in sick for the dress rehearsal of her two songs Saturday night...then a few minutes after her choreographer finished doing the run-through, RiRi wandered on-set and walked around smiling and eating an apple...  Lorne Michaels (producer/inspiration for Dr. Evil in Austin Powers) was NOT pleased, considering no one can even remember the last time a musical guest didn't show up for dress rehearsal.
