I guess it was always the plan to have Christina Aguilera back on The Voice after her hiatus this season, and it’s happening. The Wrap reports that Christina has inked a $12.5 million deal to return to the show as a coach, and that Cee Lo Green is returning as well for substantially less. In comparison, XTina earned a whopping $17 million for the same gig last year. So she’s taking a pay cut, but she’s still raking it in. The Wrap reminds us that Britney made $15 million for X Factor and Mariah’s salary on Idol was $18 million. So there’s some kind of benchmark for overpaid divas on reality judging shows.
Cee Lo Green is in advanced negotiations to return to Season 5 of “The Voice” alongside Christina Aguilera, according to an NBC executive with knowledge of the situation.
“We are not there yet, but working toward it,” said the executive.
As TheWrap reported earlier on Monday, Aguilera is already set to return next season as a coach on NBC’s hit singing competition.
Aguilera has signed her contract to return to the NBC talent competition, an individual with knowledge of the deal has told TheWrap. According to the insider, Aguilera’s return has been kept under wraps for a couple of months.
The pop diva will be paid $12.5 million for Season 5, said the executive with knowledge of the deal.
Another insider close to the negotiations said Aguilera made about $17 million when she was a coach on Season 3, which made her one of the highest paid women on reality TV. The insider said she could earn a figure as high as that again, depending on the number of hours she appeared. (Believe it or not, “Voice” coaches are paid by the hour.)
Green would not make anywhere near Aguilera’s salary. Negotiations are still underway for coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, who are also expected to return, the insider said.
For comparison, Mariah Carey currently makes a reported $18 million on Fox’s “American Idol” and Britney Spears made a reported $15 million on “The X Factor.”
Aguilera announced that she was leaving “The Voice” last December to promote her “Lotus” album and tour. Cee Lo Green also announced his exit at the same time. Shakira and Usher replaced them on the current season.
At the time, executive producer Mark Burnett played down the departures, saying that he expected that his coaches would rotate in and out as they are working artists. He also said they were always welcome to return. Shakira is likely to return in a future season.

This must mean that Usher and Shakira are off The Voice for now. I haven’t been paying attention to the show this season but Shakira has been spouting a lot of crap recently about how hard it is to be a working mom and lose the baby weight. She sounds like Goop lately, and there’s a good reason for that. Shakira also trains with fraudster Tracy Anderson. Shakira just claimed that she looked like a “Shar Pei” after she gave birth. You know this is the exact same thing that Gwyneth Paltrow said about her post-partum figure. Does Tracy encourage these women to sound clueless or are they drawn to her because she justifies their narcissism? Unknown.
Getting back to XTina, I hope this means that she’s going to stay somewhat sober and coherent. She had issues during her last stint on The Voice but she seems to have cleaned up recently and I hope that sticks for her. Not that I’m too invested in her well being. Drunk diva XTina is fun. Plus she wears the best outfits.

Here is Christina Aguilera stunning night at the 2013 Time 100 Gala at Lincoln Center in New York where she was honored as one of the Most Influential People in the World.
She showed off her slimmer physique in a Victoria Beckham dress with keyhole cut-out. Her cleavage was on full display in a classy way as the full-length dress emphasized her curves.

In case you hadn’t noticed, I haven’t done a post on Christina Aguilera in a long time. Mainly because I just don’t find her that hot anymore now. But I guess somebody out there still does, because she was invited to Time Magazine‘s Gala for the 100 Most Influential People in the World. I’m not

| | Enquirer: Christina Aguilera is shedding for her second wedding, this summer | | Added 11 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Christina Aguilera made an appearance at the premiere of season 4 of The Voice (for which she is not a judge), looking slimmed down, sober, and much healthier than we’ve seen her recently. She was wearing toned-down, neutral makeup and although she had on some obvious body glitter she hadn’t spray tanned herself into a day glow orange creature. It was a massive improvement for Christina, and I wondered if it was some kind of breakup makeover. She’s been dating a sycophantic hanger-on, a set assistant on her movie Burlesque named Matt Rutledge, basically since the end of her marriage in 2010 (and probably before). Christina continues to be spotted out with Matt, and The Enquirer claims that her new look is in preparation for a summer wedding. It’s a good theory actually:
Love drove Christina Aguilera to lose a whopping 25 pounds!
The 5’2? Grammy winner – who know tips the scales at a healthy 125 pounds – is getting in top shape for her wedding to boyfriend Matthew Rutler, sources told the Enquirer…
“Christina is sprucing up and losing weight because she and Matt are planning to tie the know this summer,” revealed an insider.
“She wants a small, at-home affair without too much fuss.
“She decided to give herself a major slim-down as a pre-wedding present, and feels she looks great at 125 pounds.”
To beat the bloat, the perky 32 year-old pop star has been working out five days a week and sticking to a largely fish-and-vegetable diet, revealed the source.
“Christina also dialed back her drinking to two days a week, usually the weekend. She just has a glass of wine with dinner…”
Initially, Christina feared that production assistant Matt, her boyfriend of more than two years, was after her $100 million fortune, but she’s finally said yes to his repeated marriage proposals, revealed the insider.
“She’s ready to embark on a new life with a new hot body.” [From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 15, 2013]
I don’t care about Christina and find her to be an entitled brat, so basically I hope this is true. While it’s technically not a good idea for her to get married to this guy, it would be good gossip, is what I’m saying. Plus I shouldn’t disparage him, he’s been around for over two years and has taken care of XTina during some of her most drunken diva moments (that’s not just conjecture) so he put in his time. If she’s smart she’ll get a pre-nup, but she’s not known for being anything but delusional. Plus we’ve heard rumors for years that Christina wants to marry this guy.
Maybe she did lose weight and sober up in preparation for her wedding. She does look great. If that’s the case, and she’s marrying the guy who enabled her for so many years, it might not last for her, but I could be wrong!

These are some new photos of Christina Aguilera at a screening of Season 4 of “The Voice” last night. It premieres on March 25, and since it’s a hit for NBC they’re really cramming them back to back. The last season just ended in December, but somehow it feels sooner than that. That must be due to all the promotion I’ve been seeing for this season. Aguilera was a judge for the first three seasons, but both she and fellow judge Cee Lo Green have left, they’ve been replaced by Usher and Shakira. (Whenever I think of her I get “Hips Don’t Lie” stuck in my head. Probably because it’s in one of the spin videos I do.) Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are still on the judging panel for their fourth season.
It’s unknown why Aguilera is no longer on The Voice, but she did regularly clash with fellow judge Adam Levine, and she was rumored to be a diva. So that’s why it’s nice to see her at the premiere for season 4. I don’t think she was contractually obligated to show up, it’s not like she’s on this season, but she did and she really put her game face on!
This is such an improvement for Christina, whom we regularly see looking wasted with day-glo fake bake and caked-on makeup. For comparison, this is how she looked the last time we saw her at an event, in October of last year.
See, she looks awesome now. She’s still fake baking but it’s not as dark. She wore a really cute, flattering dress, which Just Jared identifies as Parker with a Versace belt. The back of the dress is white, you can see it in the photo below. For her makeup she went with a neutral lip, cheek and eye, and she looks quite sober. It also looks as if she’s lost weight. This makes me wonder if she ditched that guy who served as her enabler, Matt Rutler, but I did find photos of them together just a month ago. Whatever is going on in Christina’s life, she should keep it up. Even if it only involved hiring a new makeup artist. I would love to see her get rid of that brassy blonde hair and go with a more nuanced color, but baby steps. This is a big difference!
Also there we have Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, looking coupled up.
Usher, who is hot to me when I don’t pay too much attention to his fashion. Those shiny red boots are atrocious! Also, I like him better with shorter hair.
And Yvette Nicole Brown! Just because I love her. Shakira wasn’t there, boo.

Enjoying a couples' shopping trip, Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler headed to the Boogie's store in Aspen, Colorado on Saturday (December 22).
The "Voice" coach was all bundled up in a white top, black jacket, and knee-high black boots as she held the arm of her beau, who carried their shopping bag.
Though she may be leaving "The Voice" for the next season, Christina is already lining up new projects. She was recently announced as the winner of the "People's Voice" award at the People's Choice Awards.
According to a press release, the award recognizes the 32-year-old singer's ability to reach millions of people across a number of genres including pop, soul, and R&B.
In addition to receiving the coveted prize, Ms. Aguilera will also take the stage at the ceremony with country star Jason Aldean.

Taking her little karate kid out to celebrate, Christina Aguilera went to lunch at Houston's in Santa Monica with her son, Max Bratman, and boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, on Saturday (December 8).
The "Voice" coach was dressed casually in a gray top, black leather jacket, ripped jeans, black flats, and a black hat, while she held the hand of her 4-year-old boy in his karate outfit.
On Friday, the "Beautiful" singer appeared on "The Ellen Degeneres Show," where she was asked about an old photo that made the rounds in October.
While being honored for her work as a UN World Food Programme Ambassador, Christina was snapped in a pic with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who appeared to be looking at the 31-year-old crooner's cleavage.
About the photo, Ms. Aguilera said, "That looks like it was Photoshopped but it's not. It was a real moment. She's such a force in a room. She's got that star charisma and everything about her. I couldn't take my eyes off her, either, so it was mutual."

Kicking off the week with a romantic outing, Christina Aguilera showed up at Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles last night (November 26).
Joined by her boyfriend Matthew Rutler, the ?Lady Marmalade? songstress flashed a smile to the shutterbugs as she strolled out to the parking lot and headed home.
Prior to dinner, Christina also handled her duties over at ?The Voice," where fellow coach Adam Levine sang ?My Life? with none other than 50 cent.
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend, Christina and Matthew took her son Max and his nanny to Disneyland in Anaheim for some quality bonding time.

We’re splitting the AMAs fashion coverage into a few posts, (Kaiser’s previous coverage is here and here) and Christina Aguilera takes the lead today for several reasons. I have mixed feelings about this look. First off, this ombre purple Pamella Roland dress is an impressive choice for her. Her tits and/or ass aren’t hanging out, it fits properly, and it’s actually quite flattering. The dress, coupled with that very obvious pageboy wig, give a kind of “Barbie” effect, but that’s a minor complaint compared to her past looks. Her makeup is still very heavy-handed but it’s classier, and I really like the nude lip. That said, the wig is very cheap-looking and obvious, but it’s a real improvement from the Fraggle dip-dye hair she’s been sporting in various shades of awful. The style seems dated to me, I had that exact same hair in the early 90s, but again for her it’s decent. If only she could lay off the dayglow orange tanner and the body sparkle. Baby steps.
Next up, Ginnifer Goodwin, who has ruined any affection I had for her sweet as pie “Once Upon a Time” character by looking so consistently humorless and smug on the red carpet. She bugs me, and today is no exception. She’s wearing a peach Oscar de La Renta resort 2013 cocktail dress with sequins. They love this dress over at Red Carpet Fashion Awards, but I just find it more of the same from her. She wears something fashion-forward, puts on her best model face and thinks she’s avant garde. At least she dresses modestly and isn’t wearing Stella McCartney or Marchesa.
Jennifer Morrison was in a v-neck sparkly black Abed Mahfouz gown with cap sleeves and a high leg slit. Look at her working that leg like Jolie. This is an underwhelming dress, but she wears it well. I love her braided updo (she’s gone back to blonde!) and her makeup. See how far a smile goes to completing a look?
I can’t get a designer ID on Hayden Panettiere’s sparkly little dress, but it’s not all that different from what she wore to the CMA Awards earlier this month. Her matchy shoes are not cute. Hayden’s styling is pretty bad. Her hair looks like she didn’t wash it and just pulled it back, and those bright Pink lips and gold eyes just look amateurish. Hayden was there with her latest boyfriend, a football player named Scotty McKnight. He looks like a boy bander. Downgrade from Klitschko!

Christina Aguilera showed up to the 40th Annual American Music Awards last night dressed like that cat with the watermelon for a hat. I’m not sure why. Maybe capitalizing on old memes is the new thing to do?
