Christina Aguilera and her co-stars from The Voice turned out for a quick press junket on Friday at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.  Season 2 begins in February and the singer admitted she is excited about the show’s return.

“I had to come back and do a second [season]. How could I not?  This is the most exciting show – ever! The suspense value? It’s intense… I think I get more nervous…than the actual artists and vocalists that come up here to audition.”

Based on viewer feedback, the show’s producers have added more contestants to the mix, and Aguilera says that this just increases the excitement and fun.  “We know the game now. It’s an intense competition this year… we’re extra critical and we’re all looking for something so unique and so different.”

Katie Holmes is set to guest star on How I Met Your Mother‘s Halloween episode!   Having Katie on the show is fun, even if it is a bit of stunt casting, but what’s even better is that she plays a character that many fans never thought they’d get to see.  Katie will portray the Slutty Pumpkin, a girl that Ted (Josh Radnor) met at a Halloween party years ago.  He’s attended the same party year after year, wearing the same costume, hoping to run into her again.  This is apparently his lucky year.

How did the show’s creator, Craig Thomas, decide to cast Katie as the near-mythological Slutty Pumpkin?  He said:

“Katie is a lovely and talented actress, which is why we’ve saved for her perhaps the most classily named character in our show’s history.”

Will Slutty Pumpkin turn out to be The Mother we’ve all been waiting six seasons to meet?  You’ll have to tune in on October 31 to find out.

The new season of The Bachelor is coming up, and ABC wants to make sure you’re good and ready to drool by the time the season premiere airs in January. They’ve released the first promo photo of their new piece of meat, Benjamin Flajnik.

Ben is not so new to many viewers, actually. He proposed to, and was rejected by, Ashley Hebert, on the last season of The Bachelorette.  The network says that he’s put all that heartbreak behind him and is ready to “move on with his life, his phenomenal success as a businessman and his search for the right woman to be his wife and to start a family with.”

Ms. Right will be a lucky girl indeed:  Ben is a winemaker in beautiful Sonoma County, California.  His winery, Evolve Winery, produces a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc from organic, sustainably grown grapes.  He’s not a bad looking guy, either.  There are definitely worse gigs out there.  Definitely.

What do you think about Ben’s chances this time?  Will he find love?  Would you accept his rose and proposal?  Drop a comment and tell us!

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have been married for all of a month and a half, but it’s never too late to ensure that a totally staged for the media wedding is going to stick.  The reality-show couple made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, where Ellen herself officiated as they renewed their vows.  Ellen opened the ceremony with these words:

“We are gathered here today because we are the only 300 people who weren’t invited to Kim and Kris’ wedding.  And now, in this mecca of daytime television, we reaffirm the bond of marriage between Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian — all rights reserved, E! Television Productions.”

She instructed Kris to buy Kim a copy of her new book, Seriously, I’m Kidding – he said he’d buy 500 copies – whereas Kim promised to “always put [Kris] first, or at least above Kourtney but below Khloe.”

Ellen joked that the newlyweds, who were wed on August 20, have already been married for “a long time for reality TV stars.”

The video is quite cute and Ellen makes a great officiant.  A second career should she ever give up the entertainment biz?!

There’s already one fewer celebrity sashaying across the ballroom floor on Dancing With The Stars.   The first elimination was made from the show on Tuesday night, and Metta World Peace, aka Ron Artest, was the unlucky first to go.

His first (and only) dance was the cha-cha, for which he and partner Peta Murgatroyd only earned 14 points.   Backstage, the L.A. Laker told People that he could have done better.

“I really didn’t know how much fun this was going to be.  I didn’t know that I would actually want to make an effort to win.  I was having a great time and I was looking forward to learning a few dances, but I wish I would have put in a little more effort.

Years ago when I saw Dancing with the Stars, I didn’t think I could ever do the show. And now that I’m here, I’m like, ‘I wish I would have tried a little harder.’ “

Peta was disappointed but took the elimination in stride. “It kind of sucks, [but] it was great working together,” she said.

The top scoring pairs were J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, and Chynna Phillips and Tony Dovolani, who each earned 22 points.

The remaining contestants go on to dance either a jive or a quickstep next week.

Katie Holmes attended the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 18th.

The Kennedys actress chose a blue gown from Calvin Klein with a neckline that looked like a racerback tank top. It gave the dress an almost casual look. Holmes pulled her hair up in a bun on top of her head which was cute and went well with the dress.

Holmes, 32, was paired with actor Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad to present the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama to Julianna Margulies of The Good Wife.

Holmes miniseries about the famous political family was up for a few awards but only Barry Pepper took home the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Movie or Miniseries.

More photos of Katie are under. (Read the article)
