Fans of The Voice will of course know that The Script front man Danny O?Donoghue has called time on his role as a coach on the show, and evidently, that?s afforded him more time to spend on getting back his social life?
And to find some romance apparently as he?s told the Daily Mail that he now has a special someone in his life.
He said, ?I get so engrossed in what I do, there hasn?t really been that much room for anybody else?
?But I am now dating a special someone.?
However, while he wouldn?t say who that ?special someone? is, it?s most likely we can rule out his supposed former flame Bo Bruce ? who was of course a finalist on The Voice during its first series ? since Danny reckons all the talk of a romance between him and the talented singer was nothing more than a publicity stunt.
Of the media reports that he and Bo were an item, Danny remarked, ?I didn?t deny or confirm the speculation.
?I found it funny. By not saying anything, it created its own buzz. I thought I?d use it, and help Bo get publicity.?
However, as we reported a while ago, Bo evidently didn?t find it overly ?funny? and in an interview with a newspaper, she revealed that she?d poured out her heartache over Danny into songs for her album.
She also accused the show?s bosses of putting the kybosh on their blossoming romance, telling The Sun?s TV Biz, ?We were incredibly close and he?s a hot guy. It was a mad time and meeting someone under those circumstances is difficult.
?I was very vulnerable and I regret a lot of things that happened.
?There was such an obsession with whether or not we were together and that put wild amounts of pressure on us.
?In the end a decision was made for him to not be around me. The process of writing my album Before I Sleep began when I was supposed to go with Danny to a Coldplay concert.
?It was meant to be an end-of-The-Voice present ? for him and me.
?But he was told he was not allowed to, because he couldn?t be seen with me in public.
?So I ended up not going with him but someone took pity on me and invited me to Coldplay?s box, with Coldplay?s agent, who then wanted to sign me.
?So although I said I have regrets about what happened, it led to so many other things.?
Here?s a reminder of Bo and Danny performing together on The Voice?

TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Rick Scott will soon launch a new hunt for noncitizens on Florida?s voter roll, a move that?s sure to provoke new cries of a voter ?purge? as Scott ramps up his own re-election effort.
Similar searches a year ago were rife with errors, found few ineligible voters and led to lawsuits by advocacy groups who said it disproportionately targeted Hispanics, Haitians and other minority groups. Those searches were handled clumsily and angered county election supervisors, who lost confidence in the state?s list of names.
?It was sloppy, it was slapdash and it was inaccurate,? said Polk County Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards. ?They were sending us names of people to remove because they were born in Puerto Rico. It was disgusting.?
Over time, the state?s initial list of suspected non-U.S. citizens shrank from 182,000 to 2,600 to 198 before election supervisors suspended their searches as the presidential election drew near.
?That was embarrassing,? said elections chief Jerry Holland in Jacksonville?s Duval County. ?It has to be a better scrub of names than we had before.?
Election supervisors remain wary of a new removal effort, which the U.S. Supreme Court effectively authorized in June when it struck down the heart of the Voting Rights Act. That ruling nullified a federal lawsuit in Tampa that sought to stop new searches for noncitizen voters, and Scott quickly renewed his call for action.
?If there?s anybody that we think isn?t voting properly, from the standpoint that they didn?t have a right to vote, I think we need to do an investigation,? Scott said the day of the high court decision. Last fall, Scott joined the Republican Party in a fundraising appeal that accused Democrats of defending the right of noncitizens to vote.
Scott?s top elections official, Secretary of State Ken Detzner, is now creating a new list of suspected noncitizen voters by cross-checking state voter data with a federal database managed by the Department of Homeland Security.
Detzner?s director of elections, Maria Matthews, sent a letter to election supervisors Friday, promising ?responsible measures that ensure due process and the integrity of Florida?s voter rolls? and vowing to include them ?in the planning and decision-making.?
Sen. Rene Garcia, R-Hialeah, chairman of the Florida Hispanic Legislative Caucus, said Detzner told him that the state would resume its purge of potential noncitizens within 60 days.
?I?ve been told that they will go slow,? Garcia said. ?I?m completely confident that the process will work.?
Hillsborough County halted its purge last year after several voters on a list of 72 flagged by the state proved their citizenship.
A voter whose citizenship is questioned has the right to provide proof of citizenship in a due process system that includes certified letters and legal notices.
If the next list is anything like the last one, its burden will fall most heavily on urban counties with large Hispanic populations, notably Miami-Dade.
?Ineligible voters will be removed when their ineligibility is substantiated by credible and reliable data,? said Miami-Dade election supervisor Penelope Townsley.

(JTA) ? In a rare public appearance, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said of Israel, ?removing it is a Lebanese national interest.?
?Israel poses a danger on all people of this region ? including Lebanon,? Nasrallah said Friday?in southern Beirut in what the World Bulletin news site said was his first public appearance since last September.
Nasrallah has lived in hiding for fear of assassination by Israel since Hezbollah fought a monthlong war with Israel in 2006.
Speaking of Palestine, he said Palestinian leaders have no right to compromise on the land.
?The Palestine which we mean is a Palestine which stretches from the [Mediterranean] sea to the [Jordan] river and it should return to its rightful owners,? Nasrallah said, the Israeli news site Ynet reported. ?No king, president, sheik, state or country has the right to give up even one clod of Palestinian land.?
His speech was delivered to an audience at an event marking al-Quds Day ? a day devoted to Jerusalem and its extraction from Israeli control that was celebrated originally in 1979 in Iran. Nasrallah usually gives speeches via television screens.

JOHANNESBURG ? South African organizers made a slim profit of $366,000 from the African Cup of Nations in January and February, way behind the huge commercial success of the country's historic 2010 World Cup.
Delivering the final report and financial results for the African Cup, the local organizing committee said late Monday that it also had exceeded its own expectations on the three-week tournament by about $305,000 having initially expected to make just $60,000.
The report "clearly depicts a positive financial position for the tournament," LOC chairman Mwelo Nonkonyana said.
More than anything, it underlined the massive gap between Africa's top tournament and the money-spinning World Cup, and showed how far the Cup of Nations lags behind in commercializing its product.
The African Cup was never expected to rival the success of the World Cup, but the large gap between the two was significant.
South African football was left with about $80 million from FIFA to develop its grassroots game following the hosting of the 2010 World Cup. That figure also did not include the money local organizers made off ticket sales. FIFA generated revenue of $3.655 billion from the 2010 World Cup and made a profit of nearly $2.5 billion, the world body said in its financial report for that year.
The Confederation of African Football hasn't made public its earnings from its biennial showpiece, but it projected in January revenue of just $10 million from the latest African Cup.
African football tournaments struggle with the continent's economic factors, where fans are generally poorer and with far less disposable income. Some of Africa's lesser-known teams also have little appeal for global audiences.
The LOC said the total attendance for the 32-game tournament was just over 750,000 with an average attendance of about 23,000 per game, less than half the average attendance of the World Cup. However, it was an improvement on the last African Cup.
South Africa also conceded that it had a very small budget to promote its African Cup.
"With AFCON (the African Cup of Nations) ... nobody knew what was happening until the last moment," South African sports minister Fikile Mbalula said.
Nigeria won the African Cup in South Africa for its third title, beating little-known Burkina Faso in the final at Johannesburg's Soccer City.
South Africa also will host the African Nations Championship, a tournament for Africa-based players, next year.

Santa's workshop at the North Pole is not under water, despite recent reports. A dramatic image captured by a University of Washington monitoring buoy reportedly shows a lake at the North Pole. But Santa doesn't yet need to buy a snorkel.
"Every summer when the sun melts the surface the water has to go someplace, so it accumulates in these ponds," said Jamie Morison, a polar scientist at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory and principal investigator since 2000 of the North Pole Environmental Observatory. "This doesn't look particularly extreme."
After media coverage in CBS News, The Atlantic and the U.K.'s Daily Mail, Morison returned from overseas travel late last week to a pile of media inquiries. Over the weekend the team posted an explanatory page on the project website.
One of the issues in interpreting the image, researchers said, is that the camera uses a fisheye lens.
"The picture is slightly distorted," said Axel Schweiger, who heads the Applied Physics Laboratory's Polar Science Center. "In the background you see what looks like mountains, and that's where the scale problem comes in those are actually ridges where the ice was pushed together."
Researchers estimate the melt pond in the picture was just over 2 feet deep and a few hundred feet wide, which is not unusual for an Arctic ice floe in late July.
In the midst of all the concern, the pool drained late July 27. This is the normal life cycle for a meltwater pond that forms from snow and ice, and eventually drains through cracks or hole through the ice it has pooled on.
The now-infamous buoy was first plunked into floating ice in April, at the beginning of the melt season, about 25 miles from the North Pole. Morison drilled a hole about three football fields away for a second camera, which is pointing in a different direction and shows a more typical scene. Since then the ice floe holding both cameras has drifted about 375 miles south.
The U.S. National Science Foundation has funded an observatory since 2000 that makes yearly observations at fixed locations and installs 10 to 15 drifting buoys.
The buoys record weather, ice, and ocean data, and the webcams transmit images via satellite every 6 hours. Images show the ice, buoys and yardsticks placed in the snow to track the surface conditions throughout the summer melt season. Maybe the instruments will survive the summer without getting crushed by shifting ice to record data for another year. Maybe they will fall in the water and eventually wash ashore. Researchers place the buoys to try to maximize their useful lifetime.
While researchers say the so-called lake at the North Pole is not out of the ordinary, there is a lot of meltwater that could affect the sea ice in coming weeks, in the closely watched lead-up to the September ice minimum.
Last summer the sea-ice hit a record low in extent since measurements began in 1979. This year the melting started a bit later than usual, Schweiger said, but picked up in the last couple of weeks. Late summer is usually the strongest period of shrinking because the ice is already thin.
"Whether we're going to see another record or not is still up in the air," Schweiger said.
He flew over the ice last month in a joint project with the U.S. Coast Guard to drop instruments that measure oceanic and atmospheric conditions and ice motion.
Morison was last on the ice in April when he deployed the buoys. His forecast for this summer, based on years of experience, is included on a list of expert predictions compiled by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration's Seattle office.
Morison will not change his June estimate that this summer will come close to, but not pass, the 2012 record, but he is having his doubts. Looking at the photos from the recent flyover shows more melt along the Alaskan coast, and his experience suggests that ice is fragile.
"I think it's going to be pretty close to last year," Morison said. "Up in the Canada basin the ice looks like Swiss cheese, with lots of holes. Even though the ice extent is pretty good, our thinking is that if there's a big storm event we're going to see a rapid breakup of that ice and it's going to disappear pretty quickly."
The UW team manages another sea-ice tracking tool. The U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center publishes daily images and calculations of sea-ice extent and area, while the UW group combines those satellite images and other data to tabulate sea-ice volume. For many people, the UW's monthly updates are a go-to source for getting the latest numbers on sea ice.
And while the North Pole lake theory doesn't exactly hold water, UW researchers say that it at least shows public interest and concern.
"While the hoopla about Santa's swimming pool was off the mark," Morison said, "it is the long-term observational record from these buoys that provides the perspective needed to understand what really is going on."

This in from a reader who wishes to be anonymous:
Following the major restructure of the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences in 2010, a final move to disestablish what was left of the humanities has been proposed. Brought to you by the same team that conducted the ?major curriculum change? of the School of Music, the proposed plan states that it aims to:
?1. Establish a School of Languages and Literature, bringing together the current School of Language Studies and the School of Cultural Inquiry, excluding Art History. The School of Cultural Inquiry will be disestablished.
2. Strengthen Art History and Art Theory through the integration of Art History from the School of Cultural Inquiry into the School of Art.
3. Disestablish IHuG [the Interdisciplinary Humanities Group] through the co-location of research centres wherever possible with AOUs to provide a strong sustainable base and enhance research capacity within the AOU, while recognising and preserving the governance and financial structure of the centres to ensure that they play an important interdisciplinary role across RSHA,the College and the University.
4. Make more visible the emerging strength in Heritage and Museum Studies and locate it within the School of Archaeology and Anthropology which would be renamed the School of Archaeology, Anthropology, Heritage and Museum Studies.?The proposal also concedes that:
?It is foreseeable that the impact of this proposal will involve:
? Disestablishment of leadership positions but no loss of academic staffing;
? A change to work practices with professional staff being relocated to support the new organisation structure and current separate academic groups interacting more closely within larger organisational units;
? Possible impact on conditions, including change that would be likely to lead to changed responsibility levels.?The proposal can be viewed in full here: http://rsha.anu.edu.au/sites/default/files/pdfs/2013/rsha-restructure-change-management-proposal-2013.pdf
Or see http://rsha.anu.edu.au/rsha-engagement/rsha-change-proposal for more information.
While the restructure might make ?sense? relative to the drastic changes already made to the Humanities at ANU (such as eliminating the Drama and Film Studies majors), the move threatens the viability of many other majors such as Gender Studies continuing in the future as they become subsumed under different subject areas. As stated, the changes also entail a foreseeable impact on staff in terms of responsibility, workload and ability to deliver courses in vastly different disciplines.
If you are concerned about the proposal, submissions are due to the Project Team by 5pm this Friday 2nd August 2013 at rshastudentconsult@anu.edu.au

It?s a little more than a week before WrestleMania 29, and the Divas of WWE are getting restless. Personal, professional and romantic worlds collide for The Bella Twins, The Funkadactyls and Natalya on the eve of The Show of Shows, and the arrival of two newcomers only complicates matters for WWE?s warrior princesses on E!'s "Total Divas" premiere.
Watch highlights of the "Total Divas" premiere.
The Bellas, who recently returned after a nearly yearlong absence from WWE, are looking to re-establish themselves as the queen bees of WWE, and their scheduled WrestleMania mixed tag team match against The Funkadactyls is their best way to prove it. But while they look to hone their minds and bodies in preparation for WrestleMania, matters of the heart rear their head. Nikki Bella, concerned her relationship with John Cena isn?t progressing as fast as her sister Brie?s union with Daniel Bryan, confronts the 11-time WWE Champion about his intentions over dinner. Although The Champ stops short of putting a ring on it, Nikki leaves the New York City hot spot with his assurance that she?s the only woman for him.
Check out "Total Divas" premiere photos.
Meanwhile, veteran Diva Natalya grapples with the disappointment of not only being left off the WrestleMania card, but also being assigned to ?babysit? the two newest Diva hopefuls, Eva Marie and JoJo, for the week. Her wariness of the twosome only grows when Eva Marie is instructed to dye her brown locks blonde to differentiate her from The Bella Twins, but the newcomer defies orders and instead turns her hair fire-engine red. While Eva Marie?s gall impresses WWE officials, The Bellas still remain leery of the young lioness looking to take their spot, and engage in some friendly hazing to remind the newbies of who runs things.
The week comes to a head at WrestleMania itself, but all the petty rivalries are rocked in tandem when the Divas? match is cut after the previous bout runs over its allotted time limit. Having been scrubbed from The Show of Shows, the five Divas put aside their differences and turn to each other for comfort and advice, as well as find friendship in shared disappointment ? for now, at least.

BERLIN (AP) ? President Barack Obama is opening a 24-hour visit to Germany, the culmination of which will be a speech Wednesday at Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate.
Obama will also hold meetings with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other government officials. He arrived in Berlin following a two-day summit of the Group of 8 industrial nations in Northern Ireland.
The president's visit comes nearly 50 years to the day after John F. Kennedy's famous Cold War address in Berlin.
Obama's trip is sure to draw comparisons to his 2008 visit to the once-divided city as a candidate for the White House. He received a rock star welcome, with 200,000 people gathering to hear him deliver remarks at Berlin's Victory Column.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Kris Jenner says her daughter Kim Kardashian is thrilled to have a new baby.
Kardashian and her rapper boyfriend Kanye West were keeping silent in the wake of multiple reports that Kardashian gave birth over the weekend ? about a month premature.
But Jenner told E! at the Daytime Emmys on Sunday that Kim is "extremely happy and thrilled for the new baby and she's doing great and she's beautiful."
Kardashian's sister Khloe appeared to have let a rather cryptic cat out of the bag on Twitter.
"I can not even begin 2describe the miracle that is now apart of our family. Mommy/baby are healthy &resting. We appreciate all of the love," she tweeted Sunday.
She quickly followed with a second tweet: "More info will come when the time is right! Thank you all for understanding! We love you all dearly! Overwhelmed with love right now."
Jenner linked to both tweets on her Twitter account, then wished West a Happy Father's Day.
Asked for comment on the red carpet at the Daytime Emmys, where she was a presenter, Jenner said, "She's in charge," pointing at her publicist who whisked her away from print reporters after doing TV interviews.
The reality TV star's pregnancy was almost as anticipated as the royal pregnancy of Kate Middleton, who is due in mid-July. That's about the time the Kardashian baby had been due.
The 32-year-old has often been photographed since announcing she was pregnant, opting to continue to wear designer clothing. She told The Associated Press in April that she eventually embraced being an expecting mom after getting past "the awkward phases and stages."
The couple had initially kept the baby's gender a secret, but the sex was revealed earlier this month during one of Kardashian's doctor appointments on "Keeping up with the Kardashians."
When asked about how much the baby might be featured in the E! series, the channel said Monday it was "thrilled for Kim and Kanye and out of respect for their privacy won't be offering any further comment."
News of the birth has been swaddled in secrecy. Representatives for West and Kim Kardashian didn't respond to emails and calls from The Associated Press, nor did any representatives for family members, friends and professional associates. And all of the weekend media reports on the birth were attributed to anonymous sources.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, West said he didn't like talking about his family or the arrival of his child.
"Like, this is my baby. This isn't America's baby," he said.

A Boston hospital is starting the world's first hand transplant program for children, and doctors say it won't be long until face transplants and other radical operations to improve appearance and quality of life are offered to kids, too.
The move shows the growing willingness to do transplants to enhance a patient's life rather than to save it as donated hearts, livers and other organs have done in the past. More than 70 hands and at least 20 faces have been transplanted in adults, and doctors say it's clear these operations are safe enough to offer to children in certain cases, too.
"We feel that this is justifiable," Dr. Amir Taghinia said of the pediatric hand program he will lead at Boston Children's Hospital.
"Children will potentially benefit even more from this procedure than adults" because they regrow nerves more quickly and have more problems from prosthetic hands, he said.
Only one hand transplant is known to have been done in a child ? a baby in Malaysia in 2000. Because the donor was a twin who died at birth, her sister did not need to take drugs to prevent rejection.
That's the main risk in offering children hand transplants ? the immune-suppressing drugs carry side effects and may raise the risk of cancer over the long term.
However, one independent expert thinks the gains may be worth it in certain cases.
"We understand so much more about immune suppression" that it's less of a risk to put children on it, said Dr. Simon Horslen, medical director of the liver and intestine transplant program at Seattle Children's Hospital. "This is never going to be done as an emergency procedure, so the families will have plenty of opportunity to weigh the options."
Also, a hand can be removed if rejection occurs, and that would not leave the child worse off than before the transplant, Horslen said.
Several types of kids might be candidates ? those born without hands, children who lose them in accidents and children with infections that wind up requiring damaged hands to be amputated.
Quality of life is a key concern for people missing arms and hands ? prosthetics for those limbs are not as advanced as those for feet and legs. In December, doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore did a double-arm transplant for former soldier Brendan Marrocco, who lost all four limbs while serving in Iraq. It was the seventh double-hand or double-arm transplant performed in the U.S.
For a child missing two hands, "the quality-of-life issues are a big deal," said Dr. Douglas Diekema of the Center for Pediatric Bioethics at Seattle Children's Hospital and a member of the American Board of Pediatrics' ethics committee.
"In terms of how we interact with the social world, it's mostly our face and our hands," so a transplant "is a reasonable thing to offer a family," he said.
Boston Children's Hospital plans to make its first cases healthy children 10 or older who are missing both hands.
"Some of them can't feed themselves, they can't go to the bathroom, someone needs to assist them with almost every activity," Taghinia said.
The hospital also will consider children missing one hand who already are taking immune-suppressing drugs because of transplanted organs, or those with only one hand that doesn't work well.
The hospital will cover the cost of the operation and care for three months afterward, then ask insurers to pay for immune suppression and follow-up.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? "Man of Steel" leaped over box office expectations in a single weekend.
The Warner Bros. superhero film earned $113 million in its opening weekend at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. The retelling of Superman's backstory earned an additional $12 million from Thursday screenings, bringing its domestic total to $125 million. Original box-office expectations for "Man of Steel" ranged from $75 million to $130 million.
"They finally got the Superman formula right," said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "Superhero movies really are the bread and butter of the summer box office. The fact that 'Iron Man 3' has the biggest opening of the year so far and 'Man of Steel' has the second biggest opening of the year just proves that."
"Man of Steel," which stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane, also nabbed the record for June's biggest opening away from "Toy Story 3," the Disney-Pixar film which banked $110.3 million when it opened in 2010. "Superman Returns," the previous Superman film starring Brandon Routh in the titular role, launched with $52.5 million in 2006.
The new take on Superman's origin also performed solidly overseas, earning $71.6 million from 24 territories, including the Philippines, India, Malaysia and the United Kingdom, where "Man of Steel" earned $17.1 million. The film, which also stars Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon, is set to open next weekend in 27 more territories, such as Russia and China.
Sony's "This Is the End" debuted in second place in North America behind "Man of Steel" with $20.5 million in its opening weekend. The comedy starring Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill as versions of themselves trapped in a mansion during the apocalypse opened Wednesday, earning a domestic total of $32.8 million. The film cost just $32 million to produce.
"We knew we were going to have competition, but we felt our movie stood on its own and had its own voice," said Rory Bruer, Sony's president of worldwide distribution. "I believe we've absolutely proven that. To have this amount of money in the bank with its cost of production, good reviews and word of mouth really puts our feet on solid ground."
In its third weekend at the box office, the Lionsgate illusionist heist film "Now You See Me" fleeced $10.3 million in third place, bringing its total domestic haul to $80 million. Universal's "Fast & Furious 6" arrived in fourth place with $9.4 million, while the studio's invasion horror film "The Purge" starring Ethan Hawke scared up $8.2 million in the fifth spot.
The super openings of "Man of Steel" and "This Is the End" helped to lift the box office 50 percent over last year when "Madagascar 3" and "Prometheus" held on to the top spots. "Man of Steel" will face off against stiff competition next week when Paramount's zombie thriller "World War Z" and the Disney-Pixar's prequel "Monsters University" both debut.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.
1. "Man of Steel," $113 million ($71.6 million international).
2. "This Is the End," $20.5 million.
3. "Now You See Me," $10.3 million ($15.6 million international).
4. "Fast & Furious 6," $9.4 million ($20 million international).
5. "The Purge," $8.2 million ($2.4 million international).
6. "The Internship," $7 million ($5.1 million international).
7. "Epic," $6 million ($8.1 million international).
8. "Star Trek: Into Darkness," $5.6 million ($17 million international).
9. "After Earth," $3.7 million ($24 million international).
10. "Iron Man 3," $2.9 million ($1 million international).
