Adam Levine has put Honey Boo Boo on blast.

Move over, American Idol, MTV, Fox News and The Roxy; The outspoken Maroon 5 singer and Voice coach is voicing his opinion on the TLC reality star, and his opinion isn't good.

"Seriously, Honey Boo Boo is the decay of Western civilization," he says in the latest GQ. "Just because so many people watch a show doesn't mean it's good." 

"So many people witness atrocities and can't take their eyes away, but that doesn't mean they're good. That show is literally The. Worst. Thing. That's. Ever. Happened."

LeBron James enjoyed a ho-hum 2012, winning his first NBA title... his third MVP award... AND an Olympic Gold Medal.

No, it's safe to say the editors of the world's most famous sports magazine didn't exactly have a tough time coming up with the 2012 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year.

"He was the most dominant athlete this year," Paul Fichtenbaum, Editor of Time Inc.'s Sports Group, said of LeBron. "The intangibles [James] brought to the court were significant in leading his teams to victory. He was a selfless player, doing whatever it took to will the Heat and Team USA, making all of his teammates better."

James is the first NBA star to land SI's top honor since his teammate, Dwayne Wade, did so in 2006.

He joins past Sportsman of the Year selections such as Brett Favre, Michael Phelps, Derek Jeter and Drew Brees.

But did he deserve it? Should LeBron have won Sportsman of the Year?

Facebook user Nolan Daniels posted a photo of himself holding what appears to be a winning Powerball ticket from last week, though it appears to be a sham.

The photo, shared at about 10 p.m. Thursday, received more than 450,000 shares in one day:

Nolan captioned his Facebook picture, "Looks like I won't be going to work EVER!!!! Share this photo and I will give a random person 1 million dollars!!"

Nicely played as hoaxes go. The Powerball winning numbers are not in numerical order as a real ticket would be, and the image is poorly doctored, but nicely played.

In their defense, it has to get pretty cramped in there by the third trimester.

Twins are known for fighting and bickering, but a fascinating new video showing a couple of soon-to-be born siblings shows just how early that pattern begins!

Twins Fight in Womb

The footage, from inside the womb, demonstrates what really goes on in utero, and it's unharmonious, with the kiddos exchanging kicks in a bid for extra legroom.

In all seriousness, this was observed as part of a serious medical study:

For a self-proclaimed "retired actress" looking to be left alone by the public, Amanda Bynes has a way of popping up out of nowhere and commanding attention.

Case in point? Bynes stumbled upon a group of celebrity gossip photographers waiting to snap a picture of Justin Bieber while walking down a New York City sidewalk.

Once she realized her mistake, she tried to cover her face with her scarf, then successfully flagged down a cab. Yet moments later, she made the cab driver pull over.

So she could go back and give the paparazzi a piece of her mind, obviously.
