Blake Shelton is hanging up his hat on "The Voice" after starring on the singing competition show since its inception more than a decade ago. Late last year, the country musician revealed his decision to leave the reality TV series where he worked for 12 years coaching up-and-coming artists and "get away from everything" on his 1,300-acre ranch in Oklahoma.  Following the season 22 finale, Shelton told Fox News Digital that "The Voice" had many winners through the years, but he won "the ultimate prize" by meeting his wife.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Gwyneth Paltrow won the Oscar for best actress thanks to her role in “Shakespeare in Love,” but it was Julia Roberts who was originally courted for the role of Viola de Lesseps. Producer Edward Zwick recently published a first-person essay for Air Mail about the the making of “Shakespeare in Love.” The director behind “Glory” and “Legends of the Fall” championed the film from the beginning, coordinating with Marc Norman on the original script and getting famed playwright Tom Stoppard to come onboard to do a re-write. Zwick also bore witness to Julia Roberts joining and abandoning the project in spectacular fashion. According to Zwick, Universal Pictures only agreed to put down money for the film when Julia Roberts expressed interest in starring in the lead role. As Zwick wrote, “The mere possibility of having the ‘Pretty Woman’ wearing a corseted gown got the studio excited enough to cough up the dough. Ten weeks later I was back in London, where a xeroxed copy of Stoppard’s first draft was waiting in my fancy hotel room.”
