If Briana Cuoco ends up winning this season of The Voice, it might be with some help from her rather influential big sister, who just happens to be Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco. Briana appeared on the season premiere of The Voice Monday night and was told she'd earned a spot in the blind auditions, where she would have to impress judges Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton.

With Kaley's connections and massive social media following, Briana already has a significant fan club rooting her on. "She is a great a lot of things," Kaley's Big Bang costar Jim Parsons told Access Hollywood. "We give Kaley a lot of hell, like, ‘Oh, so finally the world is going to see the really talented Cuoco!' Which is not true — we just want to give her s--t!"

And fellow  costar Mayim Bialik has Briana's back as well, "She has a beautiful voice. She is phenomenal. She's very, very talented."

Briana's obviously very excited about the opportunity. "Wow wasn't at my phone all afternoon and seeing everyone's support for #thevoice when I get back is incredible!!! THANK YOU," she tweeted. "...There are 5 nights of blind auditions — I do not know when my ep will air but it's comin."

We'll keep you posted as to when Briana's audition runs, or you can just keep up with The Voice, which has a new episode tonight at 8pm.

Lady Gaga Gets Completely Naked

Lady Gaga doesn't really have to do much at all to generate interest in her upcoming album, ARTPOP. The pop songstress has remained out of the spotlight for so long, she's drummed up a significant amount of anticipation for her Next Big Move by mere fact of offering so little. So really, she didn't need to strip off all her clothes for V magazine. No, she did this for fun.
Photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin posted a very revealing shot of Ms. Mother Monster to Instagram on Saturday, writing, "Get ready world for our pics of @ladygaga for @vmagazine !kisses iv #artpop."

In the shot, Gaga sits on a stool spread eagled, using one hand to cover her babymaker and the other arm to cover her bosom. She also has a tumble of blonde curls styled about her head and over one shoulder.
Last week, a snippet of Gaga's new song "Burqa" was unleashed on the Internet, albeit with sound quality so horrendous it's hard to get a read on much more than the lyrics. But one thing's clear: We need to brace ourselves for some serious pop provocation in the coming weeks.
