Adam Levine’s Stylist on Dressing the Maroon 5 Singer for ‘The Voice’ – And what makes him a unique client? Normally, celebrity clients have and want to maintain their one image because they’re doing album packaging. They’ll run through some things, but they have to make sure there’s continuity. But when you’re in the public eye and on camera as much as Adam is, you actually can do more things. Most people would be afraid of that, but he loves it. Every season I’ll usually get a one-word text around midnight. Or he’ll call me from somewhere to say, “Hey, I was thinking English football stud.” I’ll giggle and go, “Okay, let’s go for it.” It normally harkens back old Hollywood or very classic menswear, but with his own twist. – The Hollywood Reporter

Survivor: Jeff Probst addresses this week’s panic attack – And watching it unfold, I was struck by how real the panic was. Her body was clenched and Dr. Joe explained that this was simply her body reacting to the panic. I adore Hannah. We all have our peculiarities, and she is so open with hers. I know there are lots of people who suffer from panic attacks, and now we all have a bit of insight into how debilitating they can be and how to help someone come down from one. Once again, I have to applaud our medical team. Dr. Joe is really an incredibly calming presence. He and his team have so much responsibility. They will spend large portions of every day just monitoring situations… and then out of the blue they are called into action, and it could be for literally any kind of medical emergency. – Read more at Entertainment Weekly
