Daily Mail - According to Frank, Karlie Kloss, Behati Prinsloo, and Miranda Kerr can earn between $25,000 to $50,000 for a single post across their social media feeds.

Having a strong social media following that is invested in your every move is almost a requirement for models in 2015, and Jennifer Powell, who manages social media talent for Next Models, told CR Fashion Book said casting directors will 'for sure' ask for models with more than a certain number of followers before looking at their body of work.

And Frank noted: 'As far as commercializing a career, a girl won't get very far in 2016 if she's not socially savvy. Can I say that you can be a big star without a social media presence? I'm not encouraging it.'

Billboard - Adam Levine has moved from CAA to WME, The Hollywood Reporter and Billboardhave exclusively learned. The agency also has signed Maroon 5 and will represent both the band and frontman Levine in all areas.

Since breaking through with 2002’s Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 has remained a top act, selling more than 27 million albums and 48 million singles around the world. The band’s accolades include three Grammys (including best new artist), three AMAs, four Billboard Music Awards and four Teen Choice Awards. Maroon 5 is currently in the middle of a two-year, 104-date world tour in support of its fifth album, V, stopping in 64 arenas in North America and grossing approximately $71.4 million so far.

Frontman Levine’s wattage also has risen, most prominently via his role as a coach on all nine seasons of NBC’s The Voice. As an actor, he was featured on season two of FX’s American Horror Story, subtitled Asylum, before starring opposite Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo in 2013’s indie romance Begin Again. Levine’s business ventures include his label 22 Records, a Kmart capsule collection, an eponymous fragrance line and an endorsement for Proactiv+.

On the surface, you don’t appear to have anything in common. What things do you share? “I think the thing that’s our bond is we come from such different worlds. I find we’ll get into conversations where we just pick each other’s brains of how we do our touring. The same with him. He wants to know if I’m really a farmer. We have these conversations, and hours go by. The thing we have in common is music. But that’s not what we’re interested in. We’re interested in ‘Why are you so weird?'”

Has anyone ever asked the two of you to do a show like CMT Crossroads, where you sing each other’s songs? “We have been approached many times from movie companies, even the network NBC has asked us to do other projects together. But we’re not going to do that. I think we’re in the perfect situation. I think if we start pushing it too far, it’ll be too much of us. Everybody’s over-thinking it. Let it just be good the way it is.”

Hollywood Life - Adam Levine doesn’t take his job on ‘The Voice’ lightly…and the artists on his team on ‘The Voice’ are benefiting from it. HollywoodLife.com caught up with Amy Vachal and Jordan Smith after the Nov. 23 show, and they couldn’t stop raving about their coach’s immense dedication. Check out what they said!

Being a coach on The Voice is about so much more than building a team of the right singers. As Adam Levine has proven, it’s about putting time and effort into those artists and making them the best they can be — and even nine seasons in, he’s continued to do just that. Contestants Amy Vachal and Jordan Smith dished to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY about what makes their coach so great!

For her Nov. 23 performance, Amy made an interesting decision by choosing “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift to sing, but she totally rearranged the entire song to make it her own. But actually, most of the production decisions were made by her coach, which shows just how much work he puts into his team members.

“Adam came up with the song. It wasn’t on any of my lists,” Amy tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “We tried a bunch of different songs and finally he said, ‘We are doing this!’ I did start out playing the guitar, but as a piece, it didn’t fit. It was nan opportunity to play into the art piece. We collaborated, but Adam did most of the arranging and I infused some vintage feel to it.”

As for Jordan, who has been a frontrunner since Week 1 of this season, he admitted that picking what song to do this week was much more difficult than usual, but after he and Adam spent a lot of time agonizing over it, they came to the decision of Jessie J’s “Who You Are” together. The track was a perfect description of Jordan’s journey, and the fact that the Maroon 5 frontman was able to recognize that is a testament to how much time he puts into his team.

“I love the message in the song and, kind of with my trajectory on the show, it fit perfectly with my story — what I’m trying to get out of the show and represent,” he told us EXCLUSIVELY. “It’s okay to not be okay. No one is perfect. That’s what the song meant to me.” Considering both Jordan and Amy landed in the Top 10 on iTunes after Monday’s show, whatever Adam’s doing is definitely working!

Daily Mail - When it comes to a new ride, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo will spare no expense. The celebrity couple looked very happy on Wednesday after buying a brand new Bentley convertible for an eye-watering $271, 770.

WMagazine - “My least favorite part is just having to work out every day!” Behati Prinsloo says, keeping things very real at her 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show fitting. (Victoria’s Secret Angels—they’re just like us!) “It’s like, ‘Oh, I’m in lingerie, right!’” But anyone who follows the Angel on Instagram knows how excited she gets, in spite of the physical demands. For the past week, the model has been posting throwbacks to past VS Fashion Shows, and counting down the days until the next—not to mention a photo of her wisdom tooth turned into a funky gold necklace that made the quirky beauty’s following go wild.

“This is my 9th show. Almost 10 years, what are we gonna do for my 10 year anniversary?” she asks the room, prompting questions of when her last show will be. “Never! I’m never leaving! I don’t know, hopefully not soon, but we’ll see,” she says, toying with the long leather fringe pieces that make up one of her three looks for this year’s show.

“It’s always fun to have something to play with,” she adds. “The wings are amazing as well. They’re heavier, you have to walk a little different, you can’t walk as fast. Like, the ones I’m wearing in the show are heavier than I’ve worn ever, so it’s a little scary. I’m definitely going to have to do some more leg workouts to carry that thing!”

Prinsloo cites last year’s gold wings and her very first show outfit (a campfire-inspired tent hoodie) as two of her favorite looks, but promises the Angels aren’t allowed to take costumes home as souvenirs. “There’s always shoes we want to keep or the wings, but they’re such iconic pieces, we can never keep them,” she says. “But you can buy most of the lingerie that’s underneath them anyway so we kind of do that.” Just like us, indeed.

Ryan Seacrest - Maroon 5 has been around for a very, very long time, and every album and single they had ever released into the universe has consistently achieved Top 40 success. In April, the band dropped their ubiquitous cut “Sugar,” which dominated the charts and extended their record for the most No. 1 songs by a group on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio airplay. On Friday morning, frontman Adam Levine called On Air with Ryan Seacrest to reveal his secrets to writing and recording surefire hits.

“I opened myself up to a lot of different new things that I think beforehand I hadn’t been really open to,” he admits. “The thing is, when you’re a songwriter and you want to do this for a very, very long time, you have to learn how to adapt, I guess, and be open to different types of collaborations.” The band will take these hits on an all-new North American tour with Tove Lo, R. City, and Phases in 2016. When asked why they decided to put together a new set of concert dates, Adam says it’s simply what they do. 

Transcription

Sorry if there is any error, it's my first time doing a transcription. Do comment if there is any mistake.

R: Adam Levine here on the phone, let me grab Mr Levine. Hello Adam, how are you buddy?

A: Hello Ryan Seacrest.

R: What's happening dude?
A: Oh you know, just living.

R: Living, making hits, working. Hey, you know just a question, I was thinking about you coming on the show, and I kind of have a general question. I mean, you guys (Maroon 5) have been making music, for a very long time, making good music and by the way, making hits. But it seems like, there was a point in the last handful of years, that every single song that you made, went to No. 1. Was there something that happened in life or in the universe that shifted to make that happen?

A: Ah, I sign a deal with the devil, number one.

R: Hahaha, you sold out?

A: Ah yes, sold out. No you know I think maybe that, first of all, a lot of it had to do with timing and luck and all that stuff and I think another thing is that I opened myself up to a lot of different new things that I think beforehand I hadn't been really open to. The thing is, when you’re a songwriter and you want to do this for a very, very long time, you have to learn how to adapt, I guess, and be open to different types of collaborations. You don't have to actually, but that was just kind of where I was at, and I was leading into a lot of very good stuff.

R: Ya, no doubt. And you guys decided to put together a tour, Maroon 5 is going to go out, and we saw the countdown leading up to this announcement. You're going out for a tour, what made you decided to do that now?

A: Well I think that once again, we find ourselves in this position where we just continue to keep having this amazing success. Having our songs on the radio has been the fuel in the tank for the band to perform live. We’ve always considered ourselves to be a live band. I think that’s the cornerstone of who we are. I think a lot of people actually think that we are just a band with our songs on the radio especially musicians and friends, that come to see us live and think wow, they can actually play.

R: laughs

A: And that's our bread and butter. It's true, you never know these days, you can disguise bad playing, bad singing, bad everything but we're good, we're kick ass.

W: That's the thing about you guys, you sound exactly how you do in the radio, live, and that is so amazing. 

R: She's so cute.

A: Ya well, thank you very much. That is what we love to do, we love to play.

R: Tickets for Maroon 5's 2016 tour for the general public will go on sale on November 14th, LiveNation.com. I've got a pair of front row sits to go and see them on the 16th in Oakland if you're calling right now. So Gwen was here on Tuesday and I said to her - 

A: I love Gwen. 

R: Me too bro. And we talked a lot about what she has been going through, what's going on with her world and life. She's just exudes coolness, cuteness and sweetness.

A: She's cool.

R: Anyway, I said to her on Tuesday, "Everyone is talking about you and Blake, what do you say about that?" and she goes, "he's hot isn't he?" and I think that tells us everything and they release the statement the day after, that they were together. How long did you know that there was something brewing there.

A: I will say this. They are my friends. Gwen and I have really bonded lately. She's just the coolest, most wonderful person ever and people don't really realise that they are humans, and they have problems like everybody else. I love my friends and I support my friends through everything. I've been really enjoying getting to know Gwen better over the past few months, love that girl. 

R: She's amazing. So you shaved your head and the world went crazy and you reacted that you were surprised that everybody was so insane over the fact that you shaved your head, but I was thinking, would you have taken that risk before you lock down Behati. 

A: Dude, whatever. My wife wanted me to do it, she loved it, she can't get enough of it. To pretend to care about how anyone else felt is a waste of my time.

R: Laughs. That's funny. You've got amazing endurance to be doing what you're doing right now and I'm loving it. Hope to see you soon man. 

A: Always good to check in with you. Hope everything's well. 

R: Talk to soon bye. 

A: Bye buddy.

Inquisitr - Maroon 5 is seemingly on top of the world. And, with the possibility of a Super Bowl halftime show in the works, it looks like the Adam Levine fronted group could cap off a mega year that saw the band rake in millions of dollars.

As reported by Entertainment Tonight, Adam Levine appeared on the Howard Stern show recently to dispel rumors that Maroon 5 was a lock to perform with Bruno Mars at the Super Bowl on February 7. At the same time, he also made it a point to campaign for Maroon 5 to be selected.

“We’ve been on a short list for a number of years,” Levine told Howard. “I would love there to be…The band would be thrilled to do it.”

When questioned further by Stern as to how Adam Levine knew Maroon 5 was on a short list, Levine candidly remarked that he’s had conversations with his manager about performing at the coveted gig. He also offered his opinion as to how the NFL ultimately decides who gets to play.

“I don’t know what their motivations are other than they want the best [band] for the job. [Maroon 5] very actively wants to play the Super Bowl.”

And, why wouldn’t they? The Super Bowl is the number one TV event in the world, offering bands unprecedented access to a new audience for their music. Just last year, according to Deadline, the game reached record number ratings.

“The bone crunching down to the last minute clash between the winning Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks drew a historic 114.5 million viewers. Topping the 112.2 million audience of last year’s 43-8 blowout game on Fox.”

Last year’s halftime performer Katy Perry got a huge boost as well with the “Fireworks” star’s 8 – 8:30 p.m. eastern time performance with Missy Elliot and Lenny Kravitz snagging “118.5 million viewers.” As Deadline points out, that’s a “more than 3 million viewer jump over the record breaking 115.3 million that Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers got [the year before]. The previous halftime champion was Madonna’s 2012 performance with M.I.A and Nicki Minaj and more.

Whether or not Maroon 5 is able to snag the spot or not, 2015 has still been a banner year for Adam Levine and company. As reported by Billboard, Maroon 5’s V tour has raked in some big bucks so far.

“Ticket sales totaling $52.2 million lands on the tally based on 653,984 sold tickets at 45 performances reported during the past week. Adding the shows that were reported to Billboard in previous weeks, the tour’s overall gross now reaches $71.1 million from a total of 60 concerts in 2015, attended by 874,880 fans.”

Maroon 5 began their tour earlier this year in the United States before heading overseas where the group played both Europe and Asia. They wrapped the V tour by performing in New Zealand and Australia before announcing a Latin America leg for 2016. The madness and millions will seemingly continue.

Of course, not everything on this tour has gone perfectly for Adam Levine and Maroon 5. The group’s China gigs were inexplicably cancelled after their guitar player James Valentine tweeted a happy birthday wish to the Dali Lama. The rumor had it that his tweet angered Chinese officials so much the The Maroon 5 dates in Shanghai were cancelled.

27th October 2015 - Adam Levine on Live! with Kelly and Michael. Adam Levine talks about  wanting to visit Africa, being serious when dressing up for Halloween and dismissing Super Bowl rumours. He also discussed his relationship with the other 'Voice' coaches describing Pharrell's as full of laughter, Gwen's staying humble towards his love and having to put up with Blake's idiocy. According to Adam too, he's the actual inspiration behind Blake's ruthless bald nicknames for him. Watch the full interview below:

It started when Stern, a fellow NBC star on “America’s Got Talent,” asked Levine why “American Idol” was able to launch winners to legitimate stardom, yet no other singing show has been able to “really capture that lightning in a bottle.”

Levine hedged at first. “I’ll be relatively cryptic about what I think the big problem is,” he said. “When the baton is passed post-‘Voice,’ there’s some problems. People take over after we do this great job of building these people up on the show. There’s some real issues there.”

Translation: The winner of “The Voice” lands a record deal with Universal Music Group, which takes things from there. Depending on their genre, winners go on to a variety of Universal labels, from Republic Records (Tessanne Chin, Sawyer Fredericks) to Nashville’s Big Machine (Danielle Bradbery, Cassadee Pope).

Wherever they go, Levine doesn’t think the people in charge are doing a very good job capitalizing on “The Voice” fame. Mainly, he said, there appears to be no strategic career plan for what to do with the winner once they leave the show and head to a big-time label.

“The rollout of all that is still such a mess,” Levine said. “And by the way, just to clarify, this has nothing to do with what happens on NBC or with the people. In that time, we do so much great s— for these singers, and then they go to a record label that I won’t mention. But they go to a record label that f—s it up.”

“Record labels are — our business is the worst right now,” Levine added. “No one knows what they’re doing.”

Stern wondered if the labels try to rush the winner into recording and writing with a bunch of producers that have zero connection to them.

“Most of them don’t even do that! You’d be shocked to see it. The show ends, and they’re like, ‘Okay, they don’t matter to me anymore.’ This is how they feel on the other end,” Levine said. “I don’t understand why they don’t care. That’s what drives me absolutely bonkers. And then it makes me feel defeated on my end because there’s really not much I can do.”

Levine echoed his frustration of being on the sidelines when the mentees are locked into contracts with labels, and he can’t do anything to help, even if it appears their career is going downhill fast. “We get so attached and so passionate about helping these guys. And now it’s become this thing where I feel like after I want to be part of it, too, to whatever capacity I can. And I’m glad I’m saying this on air so maybe the label will get angry and f— off, so we can get somebody else to do it,” Levine said.

“But they should get angry … they’ve got the world’s greatest promotion!” Stern said, noting they’re squandering the potential of the show’s millions of viewers every week.

Levine went on about how he would change things: For starters, it’s especially imperative to rush a debut single and album, since it’s way too easy for a new singer to lose momentum as people stop paying attention, he said. “In that moment when you’re never going to be bigger … it’s been this whole meteoric rise to the top of this thing, you’re peaking right here,” he pointed out. Levine said it also doesn’t make sense for contestants to perform their new single on the finale as they’re named the winner: They’re crying and confetti is coming down, and viewers can’t even hear a thing.

Eventually, Levine acknowledged that when it comes to post-reality show success, the record labels can’t be blamed for everything: Sometimes there are personality problems when musicians develop giant egos, and it becomes difficult to work with them. “Some people are huge pains in the a–es, too. A lot of artists think all of a sudden that they’re god’s gift,” he acknowledged.

Overall, he said, for “The Voice” winners to actually make a mark, the labels have to step it up. “We do a great job,” Levine concluded. “I just wish that someone on the other end was there to do it right.”

Complex - Competition shows foster plenty of rivalries, but few are as entertaining and light-hearted as the friendly squabbles between Adam Levine and Blake Shelton on NBC’s The Voice. So when the Maroon 5 frontman recently shaved his head, Shelton took shots on Twitter, comparing him to Voldemort, Squidward and even a sperm cell. But the country singer forgot about one important thing: He who did notbutcher "Hotline Bling" and ruin it for everyone else should cast the first stone.
