'Voice' Becky Hill rugby tackles Jessie J in rehearsals

The Voice UK's Becky Hill ended up getting a bit carried away at the end of rehearsals with her coach Jessie J this week, rugby tackling the 'Price Tag' popstar to the floor.

Hill and Jessie ended up in a pile on the ground after the pair began mucking around during the final minutes of vocal training.

Two members of Team Jessie and Team Danny will be eliminated from the BBC One talent show this weekend.

The Voice airs on Saturday, May 19 at 6.30pm on BBC One. Paloma Faith is the special guest performer on Sunday's results show.

Sarah Jessica Parker Hosting Obamas at ‘Fabulous’ June Fund-Raiser in NYC

Sarah Jessica Parker Hosting Obamas at ‘Fabulous’ June Fund-Raiser in NYC

The event, co-hosted by the president and First Lady Michelle Obama, will take place on June 14 at the “Sex and the City” star’s townhouse in Manhattan. And like Clooney’s Hollywood extravaganza, which raised a staggering $15 million for the president’s second run on the White House, Parker’s party in New York will include a couple civilians in the mix.

The always proper Parker announced the donation-based contest via email Friday, taking a crack at class politics while she was at it. “As a woman, a mother, and an entrepreneur, I need to believe our country can be a place where everyone has a fair shot at success,” she said.

“This November’s election will determine whether we get to keep moving forward, or if we’re forced to go back to policies that ask people like my middle-class family in Ohio to carry the burden – while people like me, who don’t need tax breaks, get extra help,” Parker added.

Though she didn’t make specific mention of Obama’s recent endorsement of same-sex marriage, Parker is one of a group of prominent players from the entertainment industry, including “Milk” scribe Dustin Lance Black, singer Ricky Martin and “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy, who have stepped up their commitments to Obama’s cause since he came out for marriage equality. 

Contestants hoping to join Parker and the Obamas at the actress’ lavish Greek-revival style Greenwich Village home can donate “any amount” to enter, according to her email.

And of course, Parker promised, “It should be fabulous.”

Alan Partridge returns to TV with three new Sky Atlantic shows

Alan Partridge returns to TV with three new Sky Atlantic shows

Alan Partridge will return to TV from June with three new shows on Sky Atlantic.

Steve Coogan's comedy character is to appear in a re-edited six-part series of Mid Morning Matters, previously hosted online by Fosters' Funny, and two original hour-long commissions.

Alan Partridge: Welcome To The Places of My Life sees Alan tour his beloved Norfolk, visiting the places that have shaped the man he is today, while Alan Partridge on Open Books with Martin Bryce will feature Alan getting interviewed by an author (Robert Popper) about his literary works.

A second series of Mid Morning Matters will also be screened in 2013.

"Alan has been off the TV for too long but he is even more excited than me about his chance to have a second bite of the cherry," Coogan said. "Alan feels the second decade of the millennium is the right time."

Naomi Gibney, acting channel director of Sky Atlantic, added: "I am delighted that we are bringing the formidable talents of Steve Coogan to Sky customers. Joining some of the most iconic comedy names including Russell Brand, Kathy Burke, Julia Davis, Armando Iannucci and Jack Dee will firmly establish Sky Atlantic's comedy credentials and indicates the scale of our ambition.

"As we continue to actively build our slate of originated and acquired comedy, securing Steve Coogan ensures Sky Atlantic will become synonymous with the cream of comedy."

Sky Atlantic will also premiere two more projects from Coogan's Baby Cow production company - animated children's special Uncle Wormsley's Christmas voiced by Coogan, Julia Davis, Julian Barratt and John Thompson, and Steve Coogan's Stand-Up Down Under, which follows the comedian on his Australian tour.

Baby Cow CEO Henry Normal commented: "Sky Atlantic looks like being at a party everyone wants to go to. I feel really fortunate that Baby Cow can be at the beginning of this great adventure."

Alan Partridge last appeared on TV in March 2011 as part of the BBC's Comic Relief Marathon. The last full series of sitcom I'm Alan Partridge concluded in 2002.

The character released an autobiography last Christmas entitled I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan and a movie is due to begin filming this year.

Tim Vine quits 'Not Going Out' after six years?

Tim Vine quits 'Not Going Out' after six years?

Tim Vine has reportedly hinted that he has quit BBC One series Not Going Out after six years.

The stand-up comedian explained that he is looking for "a change" after the sitcom was ordered for two more series.

BBC executives have reportedly renewed the show, with series six and seven taking the flatmates comedy into 2014, according to The Sun.

"I'm great friends with everyone on the cast and I've had a great time doing it but after five series I simply fancied a change," he is quoted as saying.

A friend of Vine - who plays lead star Lee Mack's best friend Tim in the series - added: "Tim loves the show and it has made him a big star. But he has now had enough. He's got lots of other work coming in and is keen to try other things.

"He's been doing the show for six years and has been through the highs and lows.

"But he figures he may as well quit while he is ahead and make the most of his popularity."

A BBC insider stated: "We'll be introducing some exciting new characters in the next series. It's now what might be termed a long-running sitcom. It has had several changes of cast along the way and has grown audience rather than lost it."

Not Going Out returned for a fifth series to BBC One last month.
