Mmm, we'd like to cover him in our ink!!
Adam Levine is more than just a pretty face and a sweet set of pipes; he's quickly becoming a behind-the-scenes TV mogul!!
The Maroon 5 frontman and his manager signed a one-year first-look development deal with NBC!! They plan to focus on scripted and alternative programming and develop projects to serve as new series and specials for the network.
Woot woot!!
Paul Telegdy, NBC's president of alternative and late night programming, admitted:

The coaches on NBC’s The Voice seem like such a happy bunch!
Adam Levine, Shakira, Usher, and Blake Shelton hit up the Grove in Los Angeles yesterday evening to film an appearance for E! News’ Extra. Interviewed by the show’s hosts Mario Lopez and Carson Daly, the coaches and interviewers cracked some jokes and laughed it up while fans gathered around to watch!
Ch-ch-check out the photos (below) for a better look!
We love seeing the four Voice coaches getting along, especially given all the feuds taking place on other singing competition shows — ahem, American Idol. But given Cee Lo Green's return to the show this week, we wonder if and how the tables will turn.
Not that we're worried…

Cee Lo Green just couldn’t stay away from The Voice for very long.
The coach is set to return to the competition show next week, coinciding with the start of this season’s live episodes. Better yet, he’ll be performing his new single Only You off his upcoming album Girl Power.
It’s bound to be EPIC! Remember his ca-ray-zay awesome performance last season?! Kermit and all.
As if that wasn't good enough, T.I. and Rod Stewart will be taking the stage, too!!
Tune in Wednesday, May 8th for all the excitement!
We. Can't. Wait!

Well, we didn't expect her to take any of this lightly!
But when it comes to the $100 million lawsuit Shakira is currently facing against her ex-lover, Antonio de la Rua, that claims he was her manager during their 11-year-relationship and that she owes him a significant chunk of her earnings, the Latino pop sensation is biting back…and with some serious VENGEANCE!
In recently-filed legal documents responding to the suit, Shakira asserts that

Every tour needs a headliner, but is this overkill??
Live Nation announced dates and an amazeballz lineup for the 2013 Honda Civic Tour today — Maroon 5 is teaming up with the ah-mazing Kelly Clarkson in August and visiting a few dozen very lucky cities!
Adam Levine & the original American Idol are key ingredients in a delicious sounding recipe for our ears to devour, but we wonder if Kelly C. got the shaft!
Adam is mega-popular from The Voice, but their band is PLASTERED all over the website while Kel is merely tacked on as a "special guest"!
Doth the Stronger singer get noooo respect at all?!
Oh well, we're totes excited to see them both touring together!!
Ch-ch-check out the 2013 Honda Civic Tour dates for yourself…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

The coaches on NBC’s The Voice sure hit the ground running! What’s more, Shakira and Usher — filling in for Christina Aguilera and Cee Loo Green this season — wasted no time joining Adam Levine and Blake Shelton in their race to form their team of talented potentials.
With a stellar opening number (above) — the coaches’ rendition of the Beatles Come Together, each performing with their own instruments no less — the bar was set higher than it has been in the past! One word: WOW.
But the truly unforgettable performances of the night came from Judith Hill and The Morgan Twins. Ch-ch-check ‘em out…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
