the voice bringing in the money

This is HUGE!

We've just learned that while Sprint will be returning as an official sponsor for The Voice during season two, the show has also landed the following new sponsors: Kia Motors AND Starbucks Coffee!!!!!!

Aside from giving the show lots of $$$, we're hearing that the contestants, mentors, and coaches will all be given mobile phones and tablets from Sprint! The company will also sponsor The Voice's presence on NBC.com, Facebook, and mobile platforms.

As for Kia, the company's 2012 Sorento CUV will be used during Battle Rounds, and the contestants will be seen driving Sorentos. Oh, and season one's Dia Frampton will be featured driving a Sorento in series of webisodes.

Starbucks will be supporting online content for The Voice, which will "feature the contestants focusing on ways to serve local communities." And the coffee company will (of course) be the beverage of choice for coaches and contestants.

Here's what NBC's executive VP of sales & marketing Jim Hoffman had to say about these new sponsors:

"We are thrilled that Kia Motors and Starbucks will be joining Sprint as our partners for the second season of The Voice. Each of these brands has the unique opportunity to be a part of one of this season's most anticipated programs and their involvement also helps add new consumer experiences to the show."

Very exciting news for NBC and the Voice team! It's been a big day for music competition shows!

What the hell is going on with Christina's arm? Photoshop is a paradox.

Confirmed: X Factor Looking For Two Women To Fill Spots!

This is PERFECT!

This fits perfectly with our hopes and dreams that Mizz Britney Spears will take one of those judges seats... and that the other might be filled with Fergie or Janet Jackson!

As we reported earlier, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid are on the hunt for two hosts to fill the void left now by former host Steve Jones. There are lots of rumors floating around, but here is something that L.A. can confirm: two girls are a MUST for the job! As Reid told sources:

“We will likely have two girls. That, you can probably count on.”

But don't get too excited. Things mind change beyond next season, as they're looking for a co-ed team to tackle hosting duties later on!!

Here's what Simon said:

“I always wanted a boy and a girl to host the show and I think that’s definitely going to happen now. I think it’s going to make it more interesting.”

All of this news has us SUPER excited for next season!

With Brit's experience in the industry, and say Janet Jackson's wisdom -- we can't think of a better fit.

And at this point we'd be totally let down if it didn't happen! Ha!

The problem is... we want to know now!!
