NBC Promises End-of-World Drama, More Spinning Chairs at Upfronts
Originally posted 05/14/2012 04:00PM
The annual TV upfronts have started in Manhattan, with the networks announcing their fall lineups and tossing sardine-size video clips into the open mouths of assembled advertisers and media people.
The big news out of NBCs presentation Monday is that The Voice, the network's standout hit, will be making more use of those wonderful swivel chairs. Yes, America, you will get to see more of Christina Aguilera swiveling, and you will be glad of it.
As to the actual new lineup ... well, NBC has had its problems with programming. Even the mightily promoted Smash, after a heavenly opening, sputtered. Its star, Katharine McPhee, was brought out not once but twice to perform at the upfront, but her show won't be back until midseason.

Tony Lucca & Christina Aguilera Clash Over B-Word on The Voice
Originally posted 05/08/2012 11:00AM
When Tony Lucca sang "I got 99 problems but a b–– ain't one" while covering Jay-Z's "99 Problems" during his final competitive performance on The Voice Monday night, did Christina Aguilera believe he was directing the line at her?
"I thought it was a little derogatory toward women," she told Lucca during her critique.
Sure, the song choice had been that of Lucca's coach Adam Levine, but Lucca fully supported the suggestion.
"I'm not going to let one person bring me down," he told PEOPLE after the show. "Clearly that seems like part of her strategy."
