The teams are set. The gauntlet has been thrown down.

After five episodes, the Blind Auditions have finally come to an end on The Voice. Each of the four coaches rounded out his/her squad last night, with an even dozen aspiring stars ready to battle it out here in Season 2.

Let's take a look at how the final rosters shook out:

Team Blake Shelton

Blake turned around after Cee Lo and Adam during Lex Land's rendition of "I Can't Make You Love Me," but he won her over with his comments ... or charm:

Lex Land - I Can't Make You Love Me (The Voice Audition)

Adley Stump gave Blake another country singer with a great "Last Name":

Team: Lex Land, Adley Stump, RaeLynn, Gwen Sebastian, Jermaine Paul, Erin Willett, Jordis Unga, Brian Fuente, Naia Kete, Charlotte Sometimes, Jordan Rager, ALyX.

After emotional hometown dates, The Bachelor jetted off to Switzerland for the penultimate episode of the season (the Women Tell All special is next week).

Nicki Sterling, Lindzi Cox and Courtney Robertson vied for the final two roses doled out by Ben Flajnik ... as did another familiar face in a non-shocking return.

Could Kacie Boguskie cajole her way back into the mix?

Clearly contrived time-filling plot twists aside, Courtney preemptively shifted into damage control mode and Lindzi made her case as the season's dark horse.

Yes, we went with a horse joke there. Again. Too easy.

Who made the final two heading into the March 12 finale? Were The Bachelor spoilers right, or did Ben pull a surprise? Here's THG's +/- Bachelor recap:

Nicki Sterling, the dark horse of the competition, seems like a very cool girl, but it also seems like she's trying a bit too hard to force the issue. Minus 5.

Not in like an aggressive Courtney way, so Plus 8, but sort of in the sense that she's trying to force feelings and a stronger connection in a limited time.

Does Chris Harrison not sign the fantasy suite card anymore? Minus 10.

Uma Thurman is pregnant with her third child!

This will be the first for the actress and boyfriend Arpad Busson ... who called off their engagement in 2009, but recently got back together.

In a big way, it appears!

"She's excited," a Thurman pal said. "She's happy; just a few months along right now."

The 41-year-old actress already has two children, 13-year-old daughter Maya and 10-year-old son Levon, with her former husband, Ethan Hawke.

Her ex-spouse also has two children with his second wife, Ryan.

Congratulations to Uma and Arpad "Arki" Busson!

Bobby Brown is not the only person reportedly looking to profit off Whitney Houston's death.

According to Great Britain's The Daily Mail, plans for a Whitney biopic - which existed when the singer was still alive - are being fast-tracked, and a number of big names are lining up for the main role.

The leading contender? Rihanna, with Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson and Vivica A. Fox also allegedly up for consideration.

"Whitney knew about the project and was excited to see where it would lead," an insider says, comparing the film to What's Love Got To Do With It, a Tina Turner biopic that landed two Oscar nominations for Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.

Who do you think should portray Houston if this movie goes into production?

Sean Young has come out and told her side of the story.

The actress was arrested for battery outside The Governors Ball last night, after she allegedly refused to leave the premises and then slapped a security guard who touched her shoulder.

But Young tells People she was "just standing by the line" outside the Academy Awards-sponsored event and not "bothering anybody" when the the commotion went down.

"I started to leave and [the guard] grabbed my arm and he started pulling me," said the actress, who claims she was on hand just to snap photos with celebrities for her Facebook page. "And I turned around and I was pulling my arm away – and I struck him."

Referring to the Academy, the former Ace Ventura star added: "They need to make a public apology on behalf of their security guard," although the Academy says in a release that it played no part in the situation, stating:

"There was an incident with Ms. Young outside the Academy’s Governors Ball. It was not the Academy who pressed charges."

J. Lo? More like J WHOA!

That was the reaction many Oscar viewers had last night when they watched Jennifer Lopez saunter out to the stage and stand alongside Gwyneth Paltrow to present... the awards for something.

We can't exactly remember, considering the distraction of Lopez's cleavage, as demonstrated both by her Academy Awards dress (left) and the gown she donned at the Vanity Fair post-party (right).

Now, Mariel Haenn - the stylist for this American Idol judge - has come out and tried to silence talk that his client exposed her nipples to an audience of millions.

"The Oscar dress was custom made for JLo...The dress fit perfectly to her every inch," Haenn Tweeted. "There were cups built in and in NO chance that there were any, how do you say? 'slips.'...jokes on everyone who thought they saw something."

J. Lo, of course, is no stranger to creating headlines for her fashion taste. Remember this catsuit on New Year's Eve 2009?

... the creator of this hilariousness.

Angelina Jolie has a message for those of you saying she looks too skinny: Mess with me at your own peril. Look. Do you really want to step to a woman capable of this kind of intimidation and posturing? No, we didn't think so.

And you thought Angelina's single-leg pose was bad ...

Miley Cyrus had a great time last night, celebrating the Oscars with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth at two locations: Elton John's annual viewing party and then the subsequent Vanity Fair bash.

But the singer/actress had anything but a great time prior to hitting Hollywood, Tweeting up a storm in response to a few seriously hateful individuals.

"U have nothing better 2 do than hate?" Miley wrote in response to remarks (since deleted) that she "dresses like white trash" and is "so f-cking hideous," adding: "That saddens me. Im surrounded by love Im sorry 4 whatever happened 2 make u so bitter."

Moreover, the barbs went far beyond commentary on Miley's fashion sense (which has her beating out Kim Kardashian at the moment anyway. Take that, haters!)

"I wont tolerate someone telling me 2 die," Cyrus Tweeted, taking both the morons who made such threats and the social network itself to task: "Twitter needs to take some responsibility and make it a safe environment."

Daphne Dortch shook up The Biggest Loser last week and paid the ultimate price for it. But she has no regrets, in fact, she says she's glad to be outta there.

When presented with the opportunity to alter the composition of the red and black teams, Dortch ate over 1,800 calories to guarantee she'd have control.

"I ate the [peanut butter cups] because I wanted to stay with [my trainer Bob]," Dortch told reporters after her elimination. Then the ish hit the fan though.

After gaining the power, Dortch chose to switch her teammate Jeremy for his sister Conda, whom she blamed for evicting her brother Adrian two weeks ago.

"It was very personal," she said of that decision. "I switched them out of revenge but I had no idea the house was going to be devastated by the switch."

Dortch and her brother joined the teams on the Ranch a month into the season after losing a combined 50 lbs. at home, but were not greeted with open arms.

"We never had a chance," she said of returning to the Ranch. "They had already bonded for a month before we even got there. I think it came down to that."

Jim Rash posing like Angelina Jolie was a highlight of Oscar night. But it was far from the only Jolie-related subject to be buzzed-about Sunday and today.

The star's weight has become a hot topic after she exercised her right to bare arms while presenting an award at the year's top Hollywood extravaganza.

Rash may have been expressing affection for Jolie with his mock pose, but many fans have been less kind. Watch the clip of the actress and tell us below ...

Is Angelina Jolie too thin??
