Joe Jonas to coach new celebrity edition of ‘The Voice’

August 4, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Voice’s panel of coaches is star-studded, but now the contestant lineup will be as well.

NBC is launching The Voice: Celebrity, a new version of the show that will air in the spring of 2027. Joe Jonas will join the panel as a coach, along with Queen Latifah and country star Riley Green. Meanwhile, Keke Palmer will host, in place of The Voice’s regular host, Carson Daly.

The twist is that all the contestants on the show will be actors, musicians, athletes, comedians and reality stars, as opposed to unknown musicians. Deadline was the first to report the news.

Joe’s has already been a coach on The Voice Australia, and he appeared as a Battle Advisor several times on the U.S. show. And he’s not even the first of the Jonas Brothers to appear on the franchise; Nick Jonas was a coach for seasons 18 and 20.

Get your first look at Billie Eilish in new movie ‘The Bell Jar’

August 4, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Maybe Billie Eilish’s video for “What Was I Made For?” was an audition for her feature film debut acting role.

In that video, Billie was dressed in a ’50s-style hairdo and outfit, and that’s the style she’s seen wearing in the first photos from the set of the movie The Bell Jar. As published by People, Billie is seen as Esther Greenwood, the young writer who is the main character of Sylvia Plath’s 1963 novel.

Billie is seen in the photos dressed for the 1950s New York City setting, wearing a short-sleeved sweater, pleated skirt, and matching heels and handbag.

The movie is directed by Sarah Polley, and stars Carey Mulligan as Esther’s mother and Heated Rivalry‘s Connor Storrie in a yet-to-be-announced role.

The Bell Jar is Billie’s first acting role in a feature film; she made her acting debut proper in the 2023 Prime Video movie Swarm. But unlike many first-time actors, Billie has already co-directed a feature film of her own — Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live), which opened in May. Plus, she’s already won two Oscars, both for best original song.
