John Holiday and Julia Cooper Do Battle With a Stevie Wonder Classic on ‘The Voice’: Watch – Billboard

“Both of you guys have such unusual voices,” Gwen Stefani enthused. “Julia, you have such a cool swaggy vibe up there and so much soul in you that you wouldn’t expect.” When she turned to Cooper, she said, “I have no words for you. I don’t even understand how you’re real,” meant in the best possible way. Kelly Clarkson loved Cooper’s control. Blake Shelton praised the strength of her voice. But Holiday, he explained, "you're a force on this show. You have a gift." John Legend had a tough call to make. “Both of you knocked it out of the park,” he insisted. But Holiday was “otherworldly.” And he got the nod. It didn't end there. Cooper was just too good to let go. She got the save. Watch it all unfold below.

Dallas County Concerns About Rising COVID-19 Numbers – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Dallas County officials sounded an alarm Tuesday about rising COVID-19 numbers, hoping for greater public cooperation with disease prevention precautions. Reports from other Texas cities of hospital and morgue space shortages had Dallas County Commissioners worried Tuesday. “Two weeks from now, where are we going to be, listening to what's going on around the state,” Commissioner Theresa Daniel asked.

It showed a recent increase growing close to the summer peak that Huang hoped to avoid. The health director blames COVID-19 fatigue for the rising numbers. “I think everyone is very concerned with the trends. I know we’ve also been h...

Princess Diana Said She Met Prince Charles 13 Times Before Marrying Him – msnNOW

After three marvelous seasons of The Crown, we're finally going to get some Princess Diana on our screens. The famous royal, played by Emma Corrin, makes her debut in Season 4, which is set to cover her marriage to Prince Charles and her adjustment to the royal family. Her entry follows the introduction of Camilla Shand (played by Emerald Fennell) in Season 3. In the series, Shand meets the Prince of Wales (portrayed by Josh O'Connor) at a polo match, which reportedly did happen in the early '70s.

On Tuesday, paparazzi photos of Leonardo DiCaprio were published in major outlets including BuzzFeed, People, Daily Mail, Page Six and more. He’s seen walking on the beach with friend Emile Hirsch in Malibu, Calif., both of them shirtless. DiCaprio, who is 46, was described by multiple publications as having a “dad bod,” defined by Urban Dictionary as a male body type that is best described as "softly round," and commenters called him “pudgy,” “flabby,” and said that while he’s “still handsome” it might be time to “invest in some bigger shorts.” Celebrities being subjected to body-shaming is all too common. However, typically, it’s female stars who face the brunt of internet trolling online, as actresses’ figures have been scrutinized, criticized and mocked for decades. But the response ...
