WINNER of The Voice Season 26… The ongoing investigation of Liam Payne’s death… Robbery at Joe Burrow’s house… Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly have split… and TIME’s Athlete of the Year

SPOILER ALERT!!!! If you haven’t seen the finale of The Voice, I’m sorry, but I’m about to ruin it for you. After two hours of buildup that featured an appearance by Dateline’s Keith Morrison, Kelly Clarkson debuting her new holiday single You for Christmas, Snoop Dogg and Sting performing their new song Another Part of Me, and performances by Tears for Fears and Dan + Shay….Sofronio Vasquez — the one his coach Michael Bublé nicknamed “The Filipino Phenom” — was named the Season 26 winner. It was a big night for the rookie coach because Team Bublé’s Shye came in second. Coming in third was Team Gwen Stefani’s Sydney Sterlace, followed by Team Reba’s Danny Joseph and Team Snoop’s Jeremy Beloate. Michale Bublé will be back for Season 27, along with veteran judges John Legend, Adam Levine and newbie Kelsea Ballerini. That debuts Monday, Feb. 3, on NBC.

It’s been almost 2 months since Liam Payne fell to his death off the 3rd-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires. Last month, three people were charged in connection with Liam’s death — two hotel workers accused of supplying Liam with drugs and his friend, who is charged with abandoning Liam at the hotel shortly before he died. And now, an Argentinian judge has charged two more hotel workers in connection with Liam’s death — the hotel manager and the receptionist who called 911 twice before Liam’s fall. The first call was to report a guest was trashing his hotel room and the second was asking the 911 operator to send only emergency medical services and not the police because he believed a guest’s life may be in danger. All five will now have to show up in court at some point to be interrogated about their roles in Liam’s death. Then it’s up to the judge to decide whether any or all of the five should be prosecuted or dropped from the case.

Police are still investigating recent break-ins at the homes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, which occurred when the Chiefs were hosting the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium. Now, they’re investigating the most recent break-in at the home of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, whose home in Ohio was burglarized while he was in Texas to play the Cowboys this past Monday night. But because of the break-in, we now know for sure that Joe is dating Sports Illustrated model Olivia Ponton. They were first rumored to be dating this summer, but never confirmed anything. Olivia reportedly was at Joe’s home Monday night when she noticed a bedroom window had been shattered and that a room had beeb ransacked. She called her mom, who called 911. Mom told the operator, “Someone is trying to break into the house right now. My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding or if she should be going outside.” And while her mom was on the phone with 911, Olivia called separately, telling the operator, “Someone broke into my house. It’s just, like, completely messed up.” When police arrived, Olivia gave them a list of things that could possibly have been taken. But interesting to note, in the police report, Olivia is listed as being “employed by Mr. Burrow.”
