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.”

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.

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.

We’ve already heard that the second season of The Voice is making its debut on February 5th after the Superbowl, but they’re ramping up the advertisements for the show!

The above promotional photo was just released to mark the beginning of the show’s second season with judges Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine.

Check out the video, below:

Are you excited to see the same four judges with a whole new batch of contestants? Will the whole world be watching? Did you watch the first season? What did you think?

Since Snooki has lost so much weight after becoming an endorser for the Xantrex-3 brand, she has slowly morphed into a darker haired Christina Aguilera. Unsurprisingly, it seems that Christina is trying the reversal
of Snooki’s plan and has slowly changed, as well.

Still, she thinks like Charlie Sheen, if Charlie Sheen had the mind of a hamster.

That is all. Happy Friday!
