“The Voice” judge Christina Aguilera was really battling it out with finalist Tony Lucca on the show and now it appears that we know why. According to reports, Xtina was nursing a crush on Tony from their earlier days on “The Mickey Mouse Club.” Who knew?!?

The feud between Tony and Christina began when he took the stage on the show and she didn’t seem to recognize him. She criticized him on the show and targeted him on a number of occasions.

A source said that Tony “tried to be professional and first and ignore her unfavorable critiques”, but that didn’t help the tension between the two. Eventually, he said, “I’m not going to let one person bring me down. Clearly that seems like part of her strategy.”

A former Mousketeer, Dale Godboldo, said that there’s a reason behind all of Christina’s dislike for Tony now. He said to TMZ, “Christina was in love with him. But she wasn’t the only one. Britney was in love with him. All of this madness was not brought on by Tony.”

Despite all of that, Christina tried to set things right during the second season’s finale. The source said, “She just wanted to clear the air a bit.”

Is Kelly Osbourne finally trying to bury the hatchet with The Voice judge Christina Aguilera? It would appear so after commenting on three good things she could find about the singer. Interesting. This is a feud that we thought would totally last forever. Perhaps Kelly is trying to take the high road here?

No mistaking here, but Kelly and Christina have been involved in a bitter feud ever since Christina referred to her as “fat”. That caused Kelly to go off on Xtina when speaking with Joan Rivers on Fashion Police.

When Joan spoke about Christina, Kelly said, “Maybe she is just becoming the fat bitch she was born to be. I don’t know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house!”

She went on to say, “She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you! You’re fat too!”

In a later episode of the E! show, she said, “She called me fat for years. I was never that fat.”

During Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, Andy Cohen asked Kelly to speak about Christina, but in a good way. He said, “You and my girl Christina Aguilera have been in something of a feud — say three nice things about Christina Aguilera.”

Impossible? Not so fast! Kelly said in response, “I think she’s looking way better right now, she’s got a great voice and she’s got a beautiful son.”

Feud officially over?

Tonight season two of The Voice returns with the quarterfinals and this will mean instant eliminations and of course, America’s vote as to who will be saved and who will go. This week, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton are in the hot seat with their teams as they kick the new level off. In case you’ve missed last week’s elimination episode, you can read our full recap here.

On Team Blake Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul, Jordis Unga and RaeLynn are the contestants left.

On Team Christina Ashley De La Rosa, Chris Mann, Jesse Campbell and Lindsay Paveo.

The show will feature an “instant elimination” rule which will see four singers from each team singing for their supper in front of the judges. One of the contestants will be eliminated by their designated coach at the end of the night – so it’s definitely going to be brutal!

We have heard that supposedly Maroon 5 will be performing their new single “Payphone” on the show tonight from their new album Overexposed! Let’s hope that really happens!

THE VOICE ELIMINATION RECAP HERE!

Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matthew Rutler is said to be happy with her body, no matter what her weight is. He sounds like a good guy to us!

As you may already know, Christina’s weight fluctuates, but Matt thinks that she looks great, no matter her shape. A source revealed, “Matt is happy with the way she looks, however it is. Even when she was looking heavier, he would always say, ‘She looks gorgeous to me.’”

Matt and Christina became an item shortly after she ended her marriage of five years to Jordan Bratman. A pal of Christina’s said that no one really expected their relationship to get so serious.

The insider revealed, “We thought it was going to be a quick, seat-of-your-pants romance, but it’s turned into something special.”

Matt has also spent time bonding with her son Max. A source said, “He recently surprised them by taking them to Cirque du Soleil’s Iris show. They had a blast.”

It’s good to hear that she has someone who treats her well and is accepting of her no matter what she looks like. She can diet, if she chooses, but she is always going to have that powerful voice.

On last night’s live show round one, The Voice, we saw Team Blake and Team Christina’s members all battle it out by singing a song that was picked for each one of them to shine on stage. We saw twelve last night go up and the majority of them were very good. Now this week was not only special because it’s the live rounds but America was also able to vote on who will stay! Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine’s teams will go head-to-head next week.

Here are the teams:
Team Adam – Karla Davis, Katrina Parker, Kim Yarbrough, Mathai, Pip, Tony Lucca;

Team Blake – Charlotte Sometimes, Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul, Jordis Unga, Naia Kete, RaeLynn;

Team Cee Lo – Cheesa, Erin Martin, Jamar Rogers, James Massone, Juliet Simms, Tony Vincent;

Team Christina – Ashley De La Rosa, Chris Mann, Jesse Campbell, Lindsey Pavao, Moses Stone, Sera Hill.

Tonight is the first elimination show so we will find out just who will stay and who will go on both teams! The contestants all get one more chance to redeem themselves before the final decisions are made. With one last plea of hope who will manage to save themselves?

The Florida man who hacked into Scarlett Johansson’s nude photos from her cell phone has agreed to plead guilty in the case. Earsucker has learned that 35-year-old Christoper Chaney has said that he has agreed to plead guilty to nine counts, including wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer.

For his crimes, he can face up to 60 years in prison.

In addition to hacking Scarlett, he also hacked into the email accounts of Christina Aguilera and Mila Kunis. Scarlett and Christina’s photo leaks were super racy, while Mila’s was only rumored.

A hearing in the case was set for Monday. Chaney had been arrested as part of a year-long investigation of celebrity hacking, which authorities referred to as Operation Hackerazzi. Prosecutors have revealed that there were more than 50 victims in the investigation.

Scarlett previously spoke of the photo leak, saying that the photos were for her former husband, Ryan Reynolds. She told David Letterman, “The hacker was there constantly, every twenty seconds. I don’t know just sitting there all pasty and sweaty and pervy and weird. And that’s the creepiest thing for me. They were out there for all the world to see. Which was, uh, unfortunate, really.”

Do you think he should get the full 60 years for leaking the nude pictures on the internet? Sound off in the comments and let us know your thoughts!

Tonight NBC’s singing competition The Voice returns as they continue the battles in week three. As the battles wage on Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are going to move ahead with eliminations on their teams until they are left with only six people on each team. Will the contestants tonight that are due to battle be able to withstand the pressure and sing their hearts out in order to keep their spot?

If you’re just tuning in the rules of the battles are below:

Over four weeks, each coach must reduce his or her team from twelve artists to six by pitting them against each other in duet battles.
After watching their duos perform, each coach chooses who will move on to the live rounds.
The Live rounds begin April 2nd – and your vote helps decide who moves on.

Each coach and team will have two celebrity mentors:
Team Adam: Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke
Team Blake: Miranda Lambert (there is a real shocker)and Kelly Clarkson
Team Cee Lo: Ne-Yo and Babyface
Team Christina: Jewel and Lionel Richie

Stay tuned for the live update on what’s going down with the show — as it airs!

American Idol is in its eleventh season, but apparently the show’s producer, Nigel Lythgoe has gotten some stiff competition in NBC’s new show, The Voice. The new show is just in its second season, but with its slower format and less dramatic judge’s choices, it seems to be giving the FOX mainstay a run for its money.

So much, in fact, that Nigel is telling Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson that they are not allowed to utter the words “The Voice” under any circumstances whatsoever.

So basically if a contestant has a huge voice, the judges cannot refer to them as “the voice”. Interesting. Is he really that worried that he would give some unintentional advertisements for the competition?

Reportedly, The Voice is averaging 19.4 million viewers while Idol is averaging 18 million. I wonder if the Voice judges were given the same mandate about American Idol? Are Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton allowed to say the word “idol” on their show? I would think that after hearing about this, Christina and Adam would likely go out of their way to say that they idolize one of their contestants. What do you think?

Is this a silly mandate by Nigel Lythgoe? Should the Idol judges be banned from saying “the voice” on the show? What are your thoughts on the matter?

Tonight NBC’s hit reality show “The Voice” returns with the final blind auditions to complete each of the coaches teams. Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton are ready to complete their teams for the competition. We shall see how wars break out tonight between all the coaches as they are on the wire to complete the teams.

We hope the contestants tonight are ready to give it there all since this is the last night of the auditions and the coaches are going to be looking for the best of the best to finish their teams. Will any of the contestants tonight actually get a all four chair turner? Join us tonight for the full recap of the show and let’s see who gets on what teams!

In case you’re new to the show, we will offer some insight into how the show works. The show is hosted by Carson Daly. He is joined by four judges, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. They start off each performance with their backs turned to the performers. If they like what they hear, they hit their button and turn around to the singer with their “I want you” sign lit up. If more than one judge hits their button, then it’s up to the singer to choose who they want as a coach.

The latest issue of Star magazine reveals that The Voice judge Christina Aguilera has been boozing it up all night and sleeping every day. In addition to that, she is hated by her fellow judges on the show and has gained a total of 65 pounds.

The tabloid states that Christina is a “wreck” and has a lot of troubles. Christina is only 31-years-old and rich, so why isn’t she allowed to have a few drinks here and there, just like any other woman her age?

The feature also states that Christina is being bullied over gaining 65 pounds. In the inset photo, they’ve got a picture of Christina when she was just getting famous. Besides that, she is a mother, so it’s natural that she would put on some weight between then and now.

Also featured in this issue is the question as to whether or not Whitney Houston committed suicide. This is completely ridiculous, considering that Whitney was gearing up to perform at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party and was planning on making a comeback with her new movie Sparkle. Ugh.

In addition to that, is there a baby in the cards for Lady Gaga? Her boyfriend’s family is spilling all to the tabloid, according to their cover. Gaga is already planning a tour for a long time, so we don’t think she has time in her schedule for a baby at this point. Do you?

Tonight The Voice returns with more blind auditions and coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are eager and to add to their teams. So far we have seen a lot of talent come on the show and many of them get the honor of a chair flip. Some not so lucky, but even the ones who have not made it were pretty good. I have to say they seem to know how to find the talent out there for this show.

Will the contestants tonight be able to stack up to the other lucky picks? How many chairs will flip for the contestants tonight? It’s a strong feat to get all four chairs to turn but you know if you can make all of them turn you must be something special!

Rules:

In case you’re new to the show, we will offer some insight into how the show works. The show is hosted by Carson Daly (why, NBC, why?!??). He is joined by four judges, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. They start off each performance with their backs turned to the performers. If they like what they hear, they hit their button and turn around to the singer with their “I want you” sign lit up. If more than one judge hits their button, then it’s up to the singer to choose who they want as a coach.

Good news if you’re a fan of singing competition The Voice! All four of the original judges are gearing up to return in the fall to film the third season of the show. Reportedly, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton have all signed on for season three — and huge paychecks to boot!

The Wrap reports that Cee Lo, Blake and Adam have all had their paychecks double from $3 million to $6 million, while Christina is said to be making out like a bandit. The website reports that Christina re-signed to the show for a whopping $10 million contract. Why does she get paid a lot more than the guys?!?

An NBC spokeswoman said that the judges weren’t agreed upon yet, adding, “No final decisions have been made.”

All of the judges have rearranged their schedules for a fall premiere for the show’s third season. This move would pit the show against Simon Cowell’s show, The X Factor USA.

Which show will you watch if it gets down to being between The X Factor and The Voice? Which show are you more attached to? Does it depend on who The X Factor lands for judges? What draws you to each show in the first place?

We’re still miffed that Simon axed Steve Jones and Paula Abdul.

According to In Touch Weekly, Christina Aguilera hasn’t let up on the partying lifestyle and has been showing up for the taping of The Voice hungover.

Behind the scenes, sources are saying that Christina has come in hungover and has to be prompted with her lines in order to keep up with the show.

A source revealed, “She’s even shown up on set looking bloated and hungover. It’s gotten so bad that frustrated producers are considering giving Christina a curfew on the nights before tapings.”

Can you imagine having a curfew placed upon you when you’re a grown adult?

The source said that Christina “seems distracted while filming, to the point where producers have to feed her lines.”

The tabloid added, “She’s a disaster. They have to work hard to keep her on track.”

A source close to Christina is debunking the speculation, calling it “false”. Do you believe the rumors? Do you think Christina has a drinking problem so bad that it’s affecting her work? Sound off in the comments and let us know your thoughts!

For the record, we don’t believe a word of it!

Tonight The Voice continues with the second episode of auditions and Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are ready to hear the contestants belt out some tunes! Stay tuned for the live recap of these auditions.

In case you’re new to the show, we will offer some insight into how the show works. The show is hosted by Carson Daly (why, NBC, why?!??). He is joined by four judges, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. They start off each performance with their backs turned to the performers. If they like what they hear, they hit their button and turn around to the singer with their “I want you” sign lit up. If more than one judge hits their button, then it’s up to the singer to choose who they want as a coach.

What team will you be rooting for?

Tonight the competition begins with the coaches singing some Prince to show us and the contestants how it’s done! They are pretty good, no surprise there.

Hailey and Leeland and their band name is The Line and they start the night off with American Girl by “The Line”. Blake Shelton pops the buzzer first before he even realizes that there are two singers not just one. Christina and Cee Lo hit it afterward and Adam last. The coaches are having a knock down drag out fight for the duet! They discuss their decision. They choose team Christina! She laughs it up at the other three.

The Voice judge Christina Aguilera covers the March 2012 issue of Latina magazine in which she talks about the show, her father and being a Latina woman.

On getting married and divorced at a young age: “Was I too young? Not at all. I did the exact right thing at the time….I definitely wasn’t too young. I have always been older than my age.”

On growing older: “I was on the set of a film and the choreographer was 19 and I looked around at all the dancers and I was like, ‘Whoa! I’m the oldest person in this room. When did that happen?’”

On reconnecting with her father: “I’ve talked about how rough things were for me and I’m sure he’s heard it. He can’t be thrilled about it. So maybe one day we can do lunch…I’m 31 years old now. Maybe it’s time.”

On resting up from the intensity of shooting The Voice: “When I’m shooting The Voice, it’s intense. On a day like today, my ex has my son and we are not shooting, so I slept and I just slept. I love doing everything in my bed. Eating, sleeping…It’s my domain and my throne…I do it all in my bed.”

On how she handles gossip and brutal reviews: “I don’t read them. Ever…Why read what people are saying—good or bad?”

On criticisms of not being Latina enough: “I’ve dealt with that my whole life. I don’t speak the language fluently. And I’m split right down the middle, half Irish and half Ecuadorean. I should not have to prove my ethnicity to anyone. I know who I am.”

On planning another Spanish-language album: “All I know is no one can tell me I’m not a proud Latina woman…I dove headfirst into a Spanish-language album for that reason and I’m planning another one even though I don’t speak the language. I’m sure that doesn’t sit well with some people.”

You can read the full interview here.

The Voice judges Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton cover the February 16th issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

These are pretty awkwardly posed, if you ask us. Why does Adam’s arm look so weird, as if it were Photoshopped around Christina? Why does Cee Lo look like the only normal one here?

Either way, if you’ve watched last night’s season two premiere of The Voice, then you know the show is going to be super competitive this time around. Adam is throwing around the fact that he won the first season of the show, in hopes to lure people onto his team.

What was crazy was that Christina didn’t recognize her former Mickey Mouse Club pal, Tony Lucca. We heard his backstory first, then sat back and wondered if Christina would even recognize the guy. She pushed her button and said that she loved his “silky tone”. He went with Adam, primarily because you can’t turn down a guy who hit the button twice. Ha. Later, someone informed Christina of who he is and she went to greet him, along with his wife and daughter. She remembered him and offered that Britney Spears had the biggest crush on him. Ha.

Are you a fan of The Voice?

Here is Christina Aguilera, behind the scenes of an upcoming episode of The Voice’s second season. As much as we enjoy Christina’s music, we have to question her fashion sense in this picture. Was she going for the pirate look? Or is she channeling her inner eighties rock star? Bret Michaels anyone?

The show is set to return on NBC for a special edition right after their featured coverage of Super B owl XLVI on February 5, 2012. All four of the coaches are set to return for the second season, along with Christina Milian, taking over the social media correspondent job.

Are you going to tune in for the second season of The Voice? Are you a fan of the show? Hit the comments and let us know your thoughts!

Pop singer and judge on The Voice, Christina Aguilera is now dishing on her “rough” divorce and her weight issues.

When talking about her 2010 divorce from Jordan Bratman, she said, “That was a rough year. Between my divorce and the other things I went through, a lot happened. It’s hard for anyone to go through that in public. But when you’re a celebrity and under a microscope, it’s 50 million times harder. I grew an even thicker skin after that hard year.”

Still, despite all of the criticism surrounding her fluctuating weight, she doesn’t listen to the haters. She added, “I’ve been through my highs, I’ve been through my lows; I’ve been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I’ve been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It’s noise I block out automatically. I love my body. My boyfriend loves my body. My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me.”

Good for her for being secure within herself! We say, you go girl! Who cares what other people think, just continue doing your thing. You’ve got to admit, no matter what, this woman is talented.

Every time that Christina Aguilera performs on stage, she becomes the subject of weight criticism or pregnancy rumors. But Christina has some words for her haters: Suck it, I love my body!

She didn’t actually say “suck it”, but that’s what we took away from her words of wisdom concerning her fluctuating weight. And you know what else, Christina’s boyfriend, Matt Rutler, loves her body, too!

In a recent TCA press conference, Christina revealed that she is happy and content with her body, just the way it is. She said, “I’ve been all spectrums. I’ve been in this for a long time. I came out on the scene when I was 17-years-old. You can never be too much of anything. You can never be too perfect, too thin, too curvy, voluptuous, this, that. I’ve been on all sides of the spectrum as far as any female in this business.”

She went on to say, “I’m happy with where I’m at. I have a boyfriend that loves my body. I love my body. My son is healthy and happy. That’s all that matters.”

What do you think of Christina’s comments? As women, we are naturally our own worst critics, but she is truly happy to be where she’s at. Good on her for not trying to adhere to the Hollywood stick figure idea that all women out there aspire to.

According to the latest issue of In Touch Weekly (via Celebitchy), we’ve learned that The Voice judge Christina Aguilera is looking to pop the question to her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler! This can only end well, right?!?

Reportedly, she has been telling friends and family that she is definitely going to marry Matt, even if she has to ask him herself. Pals of the couple have revealed, “She makes jokes about him proposing all the time in front of him. He gets a little embarrassed, but it’s obvious they’ve talked about it. It’s coming soon. She wants to start over and thinks that asking him to marry her is the way to start.”

Another friend of theirs says that Matt just might beat her to the punch. The snitch revealed, “He wants to buy her a major diamond, so he’s saving his pennies. He’s going to propose this year, even if he has to buy the ring on credit.”

Should she already be thinking about getting re-married, considering that she hasn’t been divorced from Jordan Bratman that long? She jumped right into this relationship and it seems so sudden. What do you think? To wait or not to wait? Sound off in the comments!

When Christina Aguilera took to the stage at the American Music Awards on Sunday to perform Moves Like Jagger with Adam Levine, it sent the gossip world into a spin. Okay, maybe it was just us. But we were sure by the looks of that tight Herve Leger dress and her curviness, that she was ready to pop out a sibling for little Max.

See the photo and video of her outfit and performance here. Doesn’t she look like she’d been squeezed into that bandage dress and on the border of a wardrobe malfunction? Seriously, did someone tell her that this is a good look for her? We really want to know.

Anyhoodle, Christina is denying the rumors that she’s pregnant. Or, at least a friend of hers is. The pal said, “Christina loves her curves. She is not pregnant! She’s a Latina woman with curves and since when is it not okay to have curves?”

The source went on to say, “She feels like she is setting an example for women and young girls, especially Latinas. She’s very proud of her curves. Christina thinks she is a good role model not everyone is super skinny and she wants girls to embrace their body type.”

And that’s not the end of those tight dresses, either. The pal added, “It’s not what you look like in a dress, it is how you feel and it is about owning your dress. If you want to wear a tight dress then own it. She says you need to happy in your own skin the way she is happy in hers.”

We’re pretty sure she owns that dress, because she likely paid for it. But let’s not get crazy. She should really consider dressing for her body type.

Above is a photo of Christina Aguilera posing backstage at the 2011 American Music Awards, which were held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles tonight. During the show, she performed Moves Like Jagger with Maroon 5′s singer Adam Levine.

The question left on our minds when we saw her performance were three-fold. Firstly, how on Earth did she squeeze herself into that tight, tight dress? Secondly, we were wondering if she was going to suffer a wardrobe malfunction during her performance. Thirdly, is Christina Aguilera pregnant again?

Watch the video:

She does look like she’s packing an extra pound or two in the mid-section, doesn’t it? What do you think? Are we seeing something that’s not there? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts!

Update: This isn’t the first time the pregnancy rumors popped up, either.
