Latinas Rule 'The Voice,' Mary Miranda & Cathia Sing Shakira Song

It all came down to Team Shakira’s Mary Miranda/Cathia battle last night on The Voice. The two Latina singers went head-to-head using a…wait for it…Shakira song, Antes de las Seis.” During the rehearsals, Miranda stumbled a bit due to her lack of knowledge of Shakira’s catalogue.   

“Mary doesn’t know her parts,” Cathia said of Miranda. “You just can’t go up to Shakira and not sing her song well. You need to know the melody.” Ouch!

Before their joint performance the pair...

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez back together on Instagram

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber made headlines over the weekend after the Biebs uploaded a photo of both snuggled onto his Instagram account. The 19-year-old has since deleted the photo because, you know, he and the former Disney starlet are broken up… or are they still?

Anyway, the blown-out photo of the former young couple made us think about the other love-induced uploading going on by other celeb couples. Below are the best:

Shakira on the The Voice Battle Rounds

The Voice’s battle rounds continued to boost morale and kill egos last night on NBC. Team Shakira pitted Monique Abbadie against Luke Edgemon with Lady Gaga’s “You And I” as the weapon of choice. Before the singers hit the stage, Abbadie said, “I want to be a Latin pop star like Shakira.”

Once the two started belting out notes, it was clear who was the better singer—Edgemon....

POLL: Can you work with your ex?

Shakira’s battle with her ex continues.

Reports are flying around that the Colombian superstar has asked a New York judge to dismiss a $250 million lawsuit filed by her ex, Antonio de la Rua.

If you recall, the two...

Karina Iglesias on The Voice

The battle is on! And Shakira came out on top. Last night’s The Voice featured its first batch of battle rounds, where contestants on the same teams duke it out to see who advances. The night’s best battle came by way Team Adam featuring former Michael Jackson backup singer, Judith Hill, and rocker Karina Iglesias singing James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s Man's Man's World.” Hill and Iglesias went toe-to-toe, high note-to-high note, and stage-swag to-stage-swag.
