Love After Lockup Og Michael Simmons was in custody again recently following an incident in Miami. So, what happened this time around to put him back in trouble with the law?

Love After Lockup: Michael Simmons Was A Shady Character From Day One

Veteran Love After Lockup viewers remember that Michael Simmons was a slippery individual from day one. When WEtv first introduced the felon, he was juggling two women. He was the originator of the Love After Lockup love triangle between himself, Sarah Simmons, and Megan Nash.

Since that time, Michael Simmons appeared in more Love After Lockup content for WEtv. Like so many felons on the show who find themselves on the outside after being behind bars for so many years, it’s difficult for cast members like Michael to stay out of trouble with the law.

Before The Voice’s first season premiered, it was marketed as the reality singing competition that would get rid of all the gimmicks. It was about nothing but pure talent. There weren’t judges, but instead, there were friendly coaches, who would find good vocalists and help them become great. The auditions were blind, which ensured that only the very best singers would get the chance to compete on the show, regardless of their appearance. It was all about the notes, the runs, the falsettos, and the voices that sent chills down viewers’ spines. This was The Voice.

Five seasons later,...

Karma's a bitch. And no one knows that better right now than Cee Lo Green on The Voice.

After undermining Caroline Pennell on Monday night, the coach found himself in hot water when viewers threw his last two remaining contestants into the bottom three.

It wasn't surprising that Kat Robichaud once again scraped the bottom, considering she won last week's newly instated Twitter save. Nor was it alarming that Blake Shelton's Austin Jenckes was also in jeopardy, as he was...

"The Voice" has crowned its winner: Danielle Bradbery is the Season 4 champion.

The 16-year-old country singer from Team Blake is the competition's youngest winner ever, beating out fellow team members The Swon Brothers, who came in third place, and runner-up Michelle Chamuel of newbie coach Usher's team to become Season 4's "Voice" winner.

"I"m so thankful," Danielle said after the final results were announced as tears filled her eyes and confetti fell on the stage. "I'm sorry. I'm speechless."

No one went home empty-handed, though: All of the finalists won cars, courtesy of Kia.

A very confident Blake -- who celebrated his 38th birthday on Tuesday and won both Season 2 (Jermaine Paul) and Season 3 (Cassadee Pope) -- said in his final confessional, "I know that Danielle and The Swon Brothers want this so badly that it's going to make my year to see them standing in the winner's circle.

With voting for the Season 4 winner of "The Voice" closed, there was little for finalists Danielle Bradbery, Michelle Chamuel and The Swon Brothers to do during Tuesday night's (June 18) live finale but enjoy themselves, have fun and try not to let their nerves get the best of them. And enjoy themselves they did, taking the stage with major acts like Bob Seger, One Republic and Hunter Hayes (which we'll get to later). But the night had one main purpose: To reveal a champion.

So who won? With seven minutes left in the two-hour broadcast, host Carson Daly brought the three finalists on stage to begin the end. After asking for final thoughts from each, it was time to get down to business. Taking third place, its the brother duo from Oklahoma. As the Swons left the stage, Danielle and Michelle gathered close to await their fate. And then the announcement...

That’s all, folks! After three months of tough competition, it all came down to Michelle, Danielle and the Swon Brothers. Read on to see who took home the title of ‘The Voice’ on June 18!

The Voice finale was full of performance after performance after performance. From Christina Aguilera and Pitbull to an iconic performance by Cher, we almost forgot that someone had to go home. So, did one of birthday boy Blake Shelton‘s contestants win to make it a three-peat? Or did Usher‘s star rise to the top?

‘The Voice’ Results

It all came down to Team Usher V. Team Blake. Michelle Chamuel put on three rockin’ performances on the 17th; the Swon Brothers hit every note of their falsetto; and Danielle Bradbery‘s matchup with Blake was ultimate perfection.

Unfortunately, there could only be one winner.

After Swon Borthers landed in third, it all came down to Michelle v.

The Voice season 4 Danielle Bradbery won the whole show tonight. Tonight's finale show, kicked off with a performance from Christina Aguilera and Pitbull. They sang “Feel This Moment." From there, The Swon Brothers hit the stage and brought back previously eliminated Justin Rivers, Holly Tucker, and Amber Carrington to sing, “Stars Tonight” by Lady Antebellum. Next, Michelle Chamuel and OneRepublic ,teamed up to sing “Counting Stars.” Shortly after that, Florida Georgia Line hit the stage to sing their country party hip hop song with Nelly, titled, “Cruise.” After a break, Garrett Gardner, Vedo, Josiah Hawley ,and Kris Thomas ,hit the stage to sing, “Ain’t To Proud to Beg.” From there, Danielle Bradbery decided to bring back previously eliminated contestants: Sarah Simmons, Amber Carrington, and Caroline Glaser to sing Carrie Underwood’s “All American Girl.” Then Bruno Mars, followed in with a performance of his song, called, "Treasure." After another break,...

If I were back in Catholic grade school, I suspect Sister Mary Rita would’ve kept me after class and sentenced me to a half hour at the chalkboard this afternoon, writing: “It does not matter who wins Season 4 of The Voice. It does not matter who wins Season 4 of The Voice. It does not matter who wins Season 4 of The Voice.”

And Sister Rita, smart cookie that she was, would’ve had a point. After Monday night’s Live Finals, the Top 3 acts — Michelle Chamuel, Danielle Bradbery and The Swon Brothers — all managed to land two songs apiece in the iTunes Top 10 Singles chart.

Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday that The Voice kicked off Season 4 with the addition of Shakira and Usher, the absence of Xtina and Cee Lo and a new crop of contenders angling for Cassadee Pope’s place on the Iron Throne Swivel-Chair Throne?

And yet, here we are on finale night, waiting to hear whether the crown will rest on the head of Michelle Chamuel, Danielle Bradbery or The Swon Brothers.

June 18 marks the fourth season finale of ‘The Voice’ on NBC! This season has given us the most talented singers in the show’s history, and now that it’s down to the final three, I can’t imagine Danielle not winning it all.

Danielle Bradbery is a star, that’s really the bottom line. The Voice is full of talent, but it takes a specific kind of singer to stand out — and coach/mentor Blake Shelton has helped Danielle to really shine.

Danielle Bradbery Has The Most Potential As An Artist

At 16, Danielle did her first big performance ever on The Voice stage, taking on Taylor Swift‘s “Mean.” Now, just three months later, she’s a superstar.

As her coach, Blake has transformed a shy high school girl into a mature, beautiful star. Not only has her voice become stronger, but her maturity has also increased tremendously, as well as her confidence.

Sarah Simmons is less concerned about making a fortune on her music than she is with making a connection to her audience.

The Top 8 finisher on Season 4 of The Voice says she’s still marveling at the back-and-forth she has on Twitter with her newfound fans. “As much as they think I bless them, they bless me back sevenfold with their words of support and love and encouragement,” marvels Simmons. “The things that they say have brought me to tears, have made me laugh. You log on and see someone’s Tweeted ‘Puppies love you!’ That’s awesome.”

Sasha was eliminated on the June 11 episode of ‘The Voice,’ and I’m Not happy about it. After taking on both Whitney Houston and Donna Summer, there’s no way she should have gone home!

This season of The Voice has got to be one of the most shocking ever. While all the contestants are extremely talented, for some reason the better singers were sent home early. Then, right before the finale, we said goodbye to Sasha Allen – the most powerful singer on the entire show!

Sasha Allen: The Elimination That Shocked Us All

We all know I was really upset after the elimination of both Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons on May 28. I think it may have broken my heart, along with their coach Adam Levine‘s.

But I had faith because, along with Blake Shelton‘s amazing country team, we still had Shakira‘s bombshell, Sasha.

After Holly and the Swon Brothers landed in the bottom two this week on ‘The Voice,’ some felt it was the wrong decision to send her home. But in my opinion, it was her time to go.

It’s down to five on The Voice after Holly Tucker was sent home on June 4.

Holly Tucker Is Extremely Talented

Don’t get me wrong, I have been a huge fan of Holly since day one. Her performance of “When God Fearin’ Women Get the Blues” was one of my favorites this week, and as a country fan, I think she has what it takes to be a star.

Unfortunately for her, so do all of the other contestants on The Voice.

Holly is an adorable 19-year-old blonde country girl who really is the whole package. She performed “Leave The Pieces” with The Swon Brothers and it was incredible.

However, after that performance,...

It’s down to five! After a night of amazing performances on ‘The Voice’ and the return of Cassadee Pope, one singer unfortunately had to go home. And once again, we were shocked!

After all six performances on June 3 were outstanding, someone still had to go home this week on The Voice.

Cassadee Pope Returns To ‘The Voice’

Blake Shelton has the confidence to be a good coach — and he has reason to! You may remember that his team won last year.

Season three winner Cassadee Pope returned to The Voice stage to perform her new single, ”Wasting All These Tears,” which is already topping country’s iTunes charts.

But she wasn’t the only one who put on a killer performance. The stage was filled with duets from this season’s contestants.

Shakira‘s Sasha Allen –who was also celebrating her birthday — joined Usher‘s Michelle Chamuel on stage to sing “Open Your Heart.

After last week’s shocking elimination of Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons from Adam Levine’s team, four out of the six remaining contestants on The Voice are country artists. The three members of country star Blake Shelton’s team -- The Swon Brothers, Danielle Bradbery and Holly Tucker -- and Levine’s one remaining contestant, Amber Carrington, all come from a country background.

This one is easy. Last week The Voice threw us all for a bit of a curveball when Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons were eliminated, defying the mostly accurate iTunes predictions. This week, however, I'm fairly confident iTunes can tell us exactly who will go home. It helps that they changed the rules and only one singer from the Top 6 is going to be eliminated. Also changed is the time of the results show, which moves to 8pm tonight.

Move over Beyonce! There’s a new Sasha Fierce in town — and on June 3, she gave us the hottest performances of the night.

While Blake Shelton may still have three singers on his team, it was Team Shakira‘s Sasha Allen who really brought down the house on The Voice!

Blake Shelton’s Country Team Inspires Shakira

With only six contestants left, each singer performed twice — one song they picked themselves and one picked by their coach.

Blake’s team started the night when he chose “When God Fearin’ Women Get the Blues” for Holly Tucker, which showed just how powerful and fun her voice can be. She later chose “My Wish,” which she sang for her dad.

Then came the The Swon Brothers, and we all realized just how country these boys are!

They performed their choice, “Wagon Wheels,” which was so fun it even made Shakira admit that country music inspires her!

With the Top 12 chopped in half and Season 4 of "The Voice" just a few brief weeks away from naming a winner, it's time we take stock of where the competition stands. Which artist holds the most power in the game? And what should each sing next week in hopes of sticking around? Below are our thoughts.

6. The Swon Brothers

Why: Let's just come out and say it: Zach and Colton are only the longest-standing duo in "Voice" history because they're country artists and this season's voting audience is clearly dominated by country fans. (How else do you explain a Top 6 that is two-thirds country?) Of all the country still in the game, these brothers are the weakest. Their harmonies and timing often falter and, of anyone, they seem the most adverse to taking any sort of risk.

What to sing next: "Ten Thousand Words" by The Avett Brothers

While they...

Judith Hill was shockingly eliminated from "The Voice" this week and no one was more appalled than her coach Adam Levine, who notoriously said, "I hate this country" when Judith and his other team member Sarah Simmons found themselves at the bottom.

Judith's elimination from "The Voice" was easily the most surprising departure the show has seen thus far in Season 4 since the former backup singer for Michael Jackson was an early favorite. Judith was supposed to be Jackson's duet partner for his "This Is It" tour, which he was working on until he died unexpectedly.

"It was crazy. It felt like 'The Hunger Games' up there on that thing and you just never know," Judith said on "Today" of her elimination (above).

On Monday night's performance episode of "The Voice," Judith took on Will.i.am's "#thatPOWER," featuring Justin Bieber. It was a risky move, but Judith...

Unfortunately for Judith, the odds were not forever in her favor.

America was shocked by the elimination of frontrunner Judith Hill on The Voice on May 29. Now, the singer is revealing how she felt when she was voted off — and what her coach Adam Levine told her right after she was sent home.

Judith Hill: I Don’t Know What Happened

On the Today show, the 29 year old revealed what was going through her head when she found out she was heading home.

“It was crazy, it felt like The Hunger Games up there, you just never know,” she said. “I felt like I did my best and I really enjoyed my time.”

She also explained that she has “no regrets” about her time on the show, but still isn’t sure why she went home after her performance of “#thatPOWER,” originally by will.i.am and Justin Bieber...

Adam Levine has already defended himself after saying "I hate this country" during an angry moment Tuesday on The Voice. But should he go further and apologize?

The Maroon 5 singer, 34, was overheard muttering those words after two of his contestants, Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, were eliminated.

Facing a backlash, he later posted definitions on Twitter for the words "misunderstand," "lighthearted," "humorless" and "joke."

He also released a statement Wednesday through NBC clarifying the remark, though not apologizing for it. "I obviously love my country very much and my comments last night were made purely out of frustration," he said.

Washington, May 30: Adam Levine, who was heard saying, "I hate this country," on Tuesday's episode of 'The Voice', has defended his remark via Twitter.

The singer murmured the un-patriotic words after America voted off his contestants, Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, from the singing competition.

The Maroon 5 frontman's remark drew quick reaction online, with some criticizing him, while others defending his comment as a joke.

However, Levine responded on Twitter by posted a series of definitions of words like "joke,"" "humorless," and "misunderstand", the CBS News reported.

There's always one results episode of "The Voice" a season that throws viewers for a loop, and Season 4's was Tuesday (May 28), when Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, two of the competition's most powerful vocalists, got the boot.

Since her blind audition in the first weeks of the season, Hill, the former Michael Jackson backup singer was viewed as a frontrunner, consistently earned rave reviews from the coaching panel. So what happened between Monday's performance of will.i.am and Justin Bieber's "#thatPOWER" and Tuesday?

Speaking to reporters after her elimination on Tuesday night, Hill mused on what turned audiences off of her funk interpretation of the dance track, blaming it less on her performance and more on what America was ready for.

"I don't think anything went wrong, musically," Hill said. "I think it was really one of my more exciting performances. I was really rocking out with...

On the May 28 episode of ‘The Voice,’ everyone was shocked by the elimination of Team Adam’s Sarah and Judith. However, I’m wondering how it happened to begin with.

Deja vu, anyone?

It was Adam Levine whose voice was heard the most during May 28's live episode of "The Voice." The mentor's microphone picked up his mutter, "I hate this country," as two of his contestants -- Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons -- were voted off the show.

Levine hasn't yet explained his comment, though he did take to Twitter to seemingly respond to it. The Maroon 5 frontman posted the definitions of the words "misunderstand," "lighthearted," "humorless" and "joke" in an attempt to defend himself against those he angered.

Zap2it was similarly shocked when Hill and Simmons were voted off, writing "both of this season's frontrunners gone in one fell swoop." The remaining six contestants include the Swon Brothers, Holly Tucker, Amber Carrington, Sasha Allen, Michelle Chamuel and Danuelle Bradbery.

Adam Levine has issued a statement following the online uproar over his comment on The Voice last night.

During Tuesday’s live telecast, Levine was overheard saying “I hate this country” under his breath as viewers voted off two of his contestants — Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons — while electing to rescue country singer Amber Carrington.

The Voice coach issued the following statement through NBC:

“I obviously love my country very much and my comments last night were made purely out of frustration. Being a part of The Voice, I am passionately invested in my team and want to see my artists succeed.

Last night, The Voice voters dropped a bombshell and eliminated two frontrunners from the competition: Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons. The Internet erupted with fury when their names were called, but no one was as upset about the results as their coach, Adam Levine. Hill and Simmons revealed to us that the Maroon 5 frontman took them aside after the show to have one last emotional pep talk. "Adam was pretty bummed and very passionate about both of us," Hill told us backstage. "He said to us, 'You know, it's a game show. You deserve to both be here.'" Added Simmons: "He was really upset for sure. Very, very upset." Hill was also visibly down when we chatted with her about...

To say last night’s instalment of The Voice was filled with shocking moments would be an understatement. With only eight contestants remaining, it was again time to send two home. Most people were expecting the Swon Brothers and Sasha Allen to say their goodbyes. Even Sasha’s coach, Shakira, was on edge the entire night because she thought she had “ruined Sasha’s career” through the previous night’s song choice. When Sasha was announced as safe, Shakira flew out of her chair in excitement – even losing a shoe. When contestant Michelle Chamuel was pronounced safe, her face registered complete shock and her coach Usher, wearing Michelle-esque glasses, also leapt out of his chair. Fast forward to the final two eliminations and this is where things go terribly wrong. The last three on stage were Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, both from Team Adam, and Team Blake’s Holly Tucker.

An ill-considered remark by Adam Levine has the The Voice coach facing criticism from patriotic fans.

Adam Levine saw two of his remaining three contestants go home last night on "The Voice" and the longtime coach clearly wasn't happy about how America voted during the Top 8 results show.

After his team member Amber Carrington made it through to next week, it came down to Holly Tucker from Blake Shelton's team and Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons from Levine's for the final spot in the Top 6. With the coach knowing at least one of his remaining two ladies was going home, the tensions were clearly running high for Levine.

At the 1:14 mark in the video below from the Tuesday, May 28 results show, you can hear Levine's mic pick up: "I hate this country," as Mashable was the first to report.

Seconds later, Holly moved on and both Judith and Sarah were eliminated.

Oh snap! The Voice is not messing around.

Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, both from Adam Levine's team, got the boot after Voice voters deemed these season-four favorites as not favorable enough.

On the Tuesday (May 28) results episode of "The Voice," it was time to cut the fat, as they say. America's votes determined who from the Top 8 would make their way to the Top 6.

Or might Blake Shelton or Adam Levine finally lose an artist?
