NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? President Barack Obama will likely be re-elected for a second term, the world will not end on Dec. 21, and the economy will look rosier by 2015 ? at least that?s according to a group of the world?s leading astrologers who are gathering in New Orleans.

Roughly 1,500 astrologers from more than 30 countries have converged at a Canal Street hotel bordering the French Quarter for the United Astrology Conference, where they will discuss planetary alignments and the role the solar system has in such matters as the economy and upcoming U.S. presidential race.

One prediction: Because Mercury, the planet of communication, tabulation and transportation, goes retrograde on Nov. 6 ? election day ? chaos similar to the 2000 election and notorious ?hanging chads? can be expected.

'Duets' Premiere: Robin Thicke Says 'I'm Just Going To Show Up And Sing'

With so many reality singing competitions on TV, ABC is hoping to raise the bar with its new series "Duets", a show that partners an amateur hopeful with a superstar singer on the live stage. But don't expect mentors Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Robin Thicke and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles to spin around in big red chairs. These celebrities are hitting the road to find the next voice.

The biggest draw for Thicke, however, who has only had one song succeed on the pop charts (2006's "Lost Without U"), is being introduced him to a whole new audience.

HuffPost TV chatted with the new reality singing judge about his new gig on "Duets", what her learned from his dad ("Mr. Smooth") and what "morning coffee on the veranda" (a reference he made as a mentor on "The Voice") really sounds like.

What made you want to join ABC's "Duets"?
My music is my life, and my art is my life. I just wanted an opportunity for more people to hear my music. I figured that if I do this show, there will be a bunch of people who have never heard of me before listening to my music. I don't play on pop radio a lot, so it will be nice to just get my music out there. That's my goal.

It's an interesting concept for a show because you're going to be singing every week with your contestants.
That's what I wanted -- the opportunity to perform and to sing and to not just be a judge.

So you wouldn't be happy just sitting in a big red chair?
No, absolutely not. I couldn't do that.

Do you think that's where "Duets" separates itself from the other reality singing competitions?
Yeah, that's what is fun about it. We get to sing every week, and I know that the four of us all love to do that. [Laughs.] So I think it will be fun for all of us.

What are you looking for in a duet partner?
Sometimes the more different you sound from one another, the better. I'm looking for someone who sings with passion and soul because then we'll get along just fine.

Are you prepared to send people home? That's always the toughest job for a judge, especially when there can be public backlash.
Oh, I don't know. I think I'm just going to find a way to let the audience make my decision for me. I'm not really one to pick and choose, so we'll see how that goes. I really don't know how it's going to go. I'm not going to pay that much attention to it. I'm just going to show up and sing. I'm going to pick some good songs and sing them. That's what I'm going to do.

Which songs are you hoping to cover?
We'll definitely need to do some Marvin Gaye, and Al Green and some Michael Jackson or Aretha Franklin. Stevie Wonder would be great. Bob Dylan!

Your dad, Alan Thicke, is a TV icon. Did he give you any advice or did you ask him for any tips?
He's pretty much always been giving me little tips here and there. He tells me to get my charm and my game together. He pretty much leads by example. He's Mr. Smooth and Mr. Cool. He's bulletproof, so I just learn by watching him.

I'm trying to imagine Jason Seaver as Mr. Smooth.
Well, he played the silly dad! But in real life, he's Mr. Cool. He's Clark Gable.

Coincidentally, you were on "The Voice" this past season, helping Adam Levine. Did you know about "Duets" when you were guest mentoring with Adam on "The Voice"?
I actually got the offer right after I was on "The Voice".

At least you had some practice.
Exactly. Being a producer and a writer for other people, mentoring comes naturally to me. You try to pull a performance out of people when you're a producer.

There was a moment on "The Voice" when you said Nicolle Galyon's voice was like "morning coffee on the veranda." Can you please explain what morning coffee on the veranda sounds like?
Apparently, it sounds like her! [Laughs.] She just had such a sweet, peaceful voice, and it sounded like that part of the day when you're just at peace for a little bit before the day gets crazy.

Just like that morning coffee.
On the veranda with grape fruit!

"Duets" premieres Thursday, May 24 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

'House' finale: The fate of the doctor is revealed

'House' came to a close Monday night in a series finale that may divide some fans.

By Anthony Ocasio,?Screen Rant / May 22, 2012

The final chapter of House has been closed with the series finale, and the fate of Dr. Gregory House revealed. After eight years on the air (177 episodes), do you believe that this was a fitting end for television?s famed diagnostician?

Screen Rant had a humble start back in 2003 as a place to rant about some of the dumber stuff related to the movie industry. Since then, the site has grown to cover more and more TV and movie news (and not just the dumb stuff) along with sometimes controversial movie reviews. The goal at Screen Rant is to cover stories and review movies from a middle ground/average person perspective.

Trapped in a burning building, House?s final battle for survival was played out in front of our eyes. With appearances from some familiar faces, both living and dead, it was left up to the famed diagnostician to save himself.

Reliving his final case in his conscience, House made the decision to save himself. Unfortunately, as Wilson and Foreman approached the building, House was engulfed in the flames ? OR SO WE THOUGHT.

Taking a note from Sherlock Holmes, it was eventually revealed that House had actually faked his own death. Escaping from the back of the building, House wanted to spend the last remaining months of Wilson?s life with him.

Certainly an interesting ending, though one I doubt many saw coming. With the House series finale preceding a beautiful series retrospective, hopes were high that the series would be ended appropriately ? but has it? While certainly the happiest of endings anyone could have imagined for the series, there will certainly be quite a few fans who were looking for more closure than was actually provided. While House certainly grew as this final season came to a close, it could be said that the character didn?t evolve to such a level that a motorcycle ride would be a fitting ending for what we see of the character.

Though the debate my continue for days, there?s only one question left to ask: Was this a fitting end to House?

Carpe diem!
