Cheesa And Mathai Sent Packing On "The Voice"

On Monday's episode of "The Voice," coaches Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine instantly eliminated James Massone and fan favorite Pip after both gave middling performances. On Tuesday night (April 24), after America's vote saved former Mouseketeer Tony Lucca and Jamar Rogers, Katrina Parker and Mathai from Team Adam and Cheesa and Juliet Simms from Team Cee Lo were given one last shot to stay in the competition by performing to earn their respective judge's lone save.

Florence and the Machine opened the show in typically ethereal fashion with their new single "Breath of Life" from the "Snow White and the Huntsmen" soundtrack. Surrounded by ballerinas in flowing dresses and backed by Team Cee Lo, Florence Welch's belting had coach Christina Aguilera nodding along in her chair.

“The pressure for the coaches is enormous,” Executive Producer Mark Burnett tells The Hollywood Reporter. “What they’re doing now is they’re taking their 12 members of their team and narrowing them down to six for the live shows.”

We just met Cheesa this week, but come Monday Cee Lo Green pits her against former Air Force officer and viral video star, Angie Johnson on Bonnie Tyler’s "Total Eclipse Of The Heart."

“What a great, great version of that song,” Burnett says. “I’ve always loved that song. I thought it was a great, great choice that Cee Lo makes in that battle.”

“It’s tough to decide who should win,” he adds. “They’re still in competition, but they’re doing justice to the song and justice to Cee Lo. And working as a unit, which I think is such a great element of this show.”
Up first in Tuesday's sing-off was Team Adam's Mathai, who changed up her quirky indie style radically to show off a different side of her voice by going country with Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova." Her teammate Katrina Parker followed and delivered yet another full-voiced performance, this time of Pink's "Perfect.

Blake called Katrina "the best singer on [Adam's] team," and Christina agreed, complimenting her song choice and saying that of anyone on Adam's team, Katrina was the singer Xtina was most interested in hearing original material from.

Adam had a tough time with the decision. A really, really tough time. As in, he went on and on about how both singers had come into their own late in the competition and how they had surprised him throughout. He was effusive with praise and rambled on like he was trying to delay the inevitable. Finally, he went with the same big voice he saved last time around.

Adam's Save: Katrina Parker
Team Cee Lo's last-chance singers took the stage next. Cheesa's faithful take on "Already Gone" earned a pretty tough technical critique from all the judges, with each commenting that she was under pitch for the entire performance until the final note, which she nailed. They went easier on Simms, who sang Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn," but Christina still was vocal about wanting more from the singer.

Cee Lo was as complimentary as Adam but far more decisive.

'Star Trek 2' A 'Special Experience' For Alice Eve

Much like the lock and key that all "Star Trek" plot details were kept under during filming the first time around, the same goes for the untitled "Trek" sequel. We know which key players are back in place, alongside new additions Benedict Cumberbatch, as the unidentified villain, and actress Alice Eve, but we don't know exactly how the sequel's story will unfold.

When MTV News caught up with Eve recently during the press day for her upcoming period thriller "The Raven," we attempted to find out a few more details about what character she might be playing in asking how long she spends in the makeup chair each day before filming.

"I'm a healthy amount of time in the makeup chair — though not as long as Spock," Eve revealed. "We were filming until very late last night, and I know that's all I can say. It's a top-secret operation; it's like a war."

The stars were out in force this evening at the New York premiere of thriller film The Raven.

However they were overshadowed by the movie’s female lead Alice Eve, who outshone everyone in her sweet ensemble.

The British actress looked every inch the English rose in her floaty powder blue mini dress and embellished heeled sandals.

A host of other celebrities were also seen walking the red carpet at the premiere, which was held at the Sunshine Landmark cinema.

Playback actress Jennifer Missoni bared her midriff in a pink top and low-rise jeans while DJ Chelsea Leyland opted for a summery white lace mini-dress.

Meanwhile Sting’s daughter and The Borgias actress Bridget Michael Sumner, known as Mickey, looked lovely in a floral printed shift dress that was cinched in at her waist with a navy belt that matched her suede ankle boots.

Although Eve is new to the "Trek" family, two of her co-stars are very familiar faces, Cumberbatch and Simon Pegg, with whom Eve worked on "Starter for 10" and "Big Nothing," respectively. When asked how the reunion has been, Eve broke out into a wide grin, saying, "Both of them I've worked with before, and it's a true, true pleasure to see them again. Really fun."

Eve went on to tease that her fans will be surprised by "a few things" about her performance in the film and re-emphasized the fact that she's having a blast on set. "I'm having a lot of fun, and it's a very special experience to be on J.J.'s [Abrams] movies," she said. "He's a real good leader."

The British beauty has equated the atmosphere on set with going to camp or school. "When there's a group of people who you can spend time with and work with and get to know, a real good experience, it's kind of like going back to university or something, when everyone has got the same objective," Eve told MTV News. "There's a lot of energy, and it's a nice thing to be a part of that group. That's the thing that excites me most about it. Obviously, there is a huge legacy there with 'Star Trek' and the fanatics, so hopefully they'll be satisfied."

"American Idol": Leaving Top 7 Finalists Intact

American Idol finalist Jessica Sanchez has been "saved."Although she received the fewest home viewer votes following Wednesday night's performance show, which featured the Top 7 finalists performing songs released in the year 2010 until today, Sanchez was allowed to remain in American Idol's eleventh-season competition when the show's judges unanimously decided to use their one-time "The Judges' Save" ability to prevent her ouster during Thursday night's live results show broadcast on Fox.

"Give me that [microphone]! This is crazy! Yes, we're using 'the save!' You're not going home. Go sit down, go sit down," Idol judge Jennifer Lopez told Sanchez after she ran onstage and cut the singer off mid-performance as she was "singing for her life" in attempt to impress the judges and hopefully remain in the running to be crowned the next American Idol champion.

"This is a first. So the judges get one 'save' during the season and they've got to use it by the Top 5," Idol host Ryan Seacrest announced.

"We are saving Jessica without any doubt," judge Randy Jackson said. "Let me just say this for myself, [fellow judge Steven Tyler] and Jennifer. This girl is one of the best singers in America -- ever. Are you kidding me?! Please everybody, please vote for the best. It's about finding the best. I mean, come on."

Sanchez, a 16-year-old from San Diego, CA, seemed thrilled yet shocked the judges went out on a limb for her to the point where Jackson was pleading with America to keep her around.

"As you saw [the judges] getting out of their seats, what was going through your mind?" Seacrest asked Sanchez.

"Nothing," said a stunned Sanchez.

"Were you surprised to be standing here at the end of the show?" Seacrest questioned.

"No, not at all. I don't expect anything. I just do what I do and whatever happens, happens. I just want people to know I've been working hard my whole life," Sanchez explained.

"A lot of people across the country, I'm sure, were surprised to see you standing up here, and the judges did the right thing. Congratulations Jessica," Seacrest told the young performer.

Prior to Sanchez's "save" by the judges, Seacrest had revealed that Elise Testone, a 28-year-old from Charleston, SC, and Joshua Ledet, a 19-year-old from Westlake, LA, were the other members of the week's bottom three vote-getters.

Sanchez was not the only bottom-three member who left the Idol judges dumbfounded over how the vote had turned out. Although Jackson, Lopez and Tyler did not announce they were disappointed America also put Ledet in the bottom three, based on their comments from Wednesday night's performance show along with those of Idol mentor Jimmy Iovine, he did not deserve to be in that position.

"Eleven seasons I've been doing this show. I've never seen this happen. This is a ridiculous bottom three. America, I've never said this. They got it wrong tonight baby. They got it so wrong," Jackson said after Seacrest had revealed the week's bottom three.

"Steven, one of these faces could be leaving the show tonight if you guys don't use your 'save.' What happened with the vote?" Seacrest asked.

"We're going to use our card tonight, especially with an outcome like this." Tyler noted.

Sanchez -- who was one of the 10 finalists voted into the season's Top 13 by home viewers -- had received raving reviews from the judges following her performance of "Stuttering" by Jazmine Sullivan on Wednesday's performance show.

"Let me say this first. A lot of people probably don't know, but I love the arrangement you did with the song... What you did tonight is you set the bar really high. You said 'I've been singing these songs, I've been doing my thing and now I need to show everyone what kind of talent level I have," Jackson explained.

"Dude, that was superb. That was at the highest degree. Yo, the control you singing, you scatting and all of this -- the song that you chose by this girl, this girl is ridiculous herself. Dude, you did an amazing job on this song. To me, right now, you slayed the biggest fish of the night. This song was the toughest one to sing. Congratulations."

"Jessica, that was really beautiful and I think my favorite part was right in the middle. You really started digging. You started digging a little bit more. I saw it. You were like, 'I'm going to tell this story. I'm going to dig a little deeper. And I feel like you have, probably more than anybody, an amazing opportunity to really take this audience -- this American Idol audience -- America on a ride like they've never been," Lopez told Sanchez.

"We have a few weeks left here, and I think what I want to see from you are a couple of Joshua-type performances in how impactful they are, because we know that you sing like nobody we've ever heard sing. That's the way I feel sometimes when listening to you. It's just amazing. But now, take us for a ride every week. We only have a few weeks left. You can do it, you can do it. You can show us something we've never seen. I want to see it! I want to be here and watch it!"

"Jessica, every time I hear you sing, I forget where I am. I forget where I am, but America doesn't forget. You slay it every time -- not only have the nerve to sing that song with such a beautiful melody, but you also had the nerve to wear Jennifer's shoes," Tyler joked.
