[NEWS] JIMMY FALLON AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE JUMP TO THEIR FEET FOR CHRISTINA AGUILERA

...With that, Kimmel and Fallon both downed their whiskies, and when Christina Aguilera hit the stage to belt such hits as Lady Marmalade, Fallon and Timberlake jumped up from their seats and began dancing and making each other laugh. Looking out into the audience, Aguilera confessed to wanting some of the Chivas Regal whiskey that had been served earlier in the night, saying: "I was so jealous, I was like, 'I have to perform.'"

[VIDEO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA Q&A: FROM 'MICKEY' TO 'LOTUS' AND FINDING HER 'VOICE'

Christina Aguilera took attendees for a journey of her blockbuster career at last week's Billboard Film & TV Conference Music Conference. Feeling feisty, the "Beautiful" singer played loose with her language (f-bombs were dropped) while talking about her journey from Star Search runner-up to superstar of music and, now, the small screen on "The Voice."

"Sometimes you just know what you're placed on this earth to do," she told interviewer Bill Werde ( @bwerde), Billboard's Editorial Director, at the W Hotel in Hollywood.

In Part 1 of the lengthy chat, Aguilera talks about her early days on the set of the "Mickey Mouse Club," the challenges and friendships formed during "Burlesque" and she eviscerates tabloid "trash." Keep an eye on this page for Parts 2 and 3, where the "Your Body" star talks "The Voice," her new album "Lotus" and on working with female writers and producers.

Most Undeniable Presence: Christina's Cleavage

There was one thing that Christina Aguilera made resoundingly clear during this season of The Voice. Well, two things, actually: her boobs. While contestants on the show sometimes outfitted themselves in racy garments, no necklines plunged the way that Xtina's consistently did. By the last episode, if you weren't intimately familiar with her experiments in upper, inner, and side cleavage, than you must have been watching a different show altogether.

Worst Luck With Women: Jesse Campbell
Jesse Campbell just can't win when it comes to the ladies. First his wife left him because he was too focused on his music career, rather than making a more traditionally stable living doing literally anything else. Then, after advancing pretty damn far in a competition that could lead to some seriously lucrative ends for his musical career, he got booted off of the show by Xtina prematurely in the biggest surprise elimination of the season. This guy can't catch a break.

Best Burn: Christina Aguilera Calls Adam Levine 'A Justin Timberlake Wannabe'

Xtina really leaned into her role as antagonist on this season of The Voice, and it was kind of the best. Whether you agreed with her or not (and I frequently did not), her smack-talking always made for good TV. On the second episode, she cemented a feud with Adam that continued throughout the season, by calling him a wannabe JT. Adam must have rejoiced, however, at the best unintentional burn of the season, when fully grown adult, Jonathus, tells Xtina he's had a crush on her since the fifth grade. Ouch!

Editors Note:

Adam Levine honest? Bitch please. He's such a douche. Hands down Christina is the most honest coach on 'The Voice'. She has the biggest balls on the show without having balls.

[NEWS] JC CHASEZ DEFENDS CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND PRAISES TONY LUCCA

Christina Aguilera took some heat for her pointed criticism of fellow former “Mickey Mouse Club” star Tony Lucca on “The Voice” last week, but JC Chasez (also a former Mouseketeer) says she was simply doing her job.

“I love her. She’s absolutely supposed to do her job and express her opinion, and that is definitely her opinion,” the former *NSYNC-er told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Wednesday’s Access Hollywood Live, when asked if Christina “broke the code” by being harsh on a former co-star. “I think Tony has represented himself magnificently on the show because I don’t really just look at Tony as a singer, and [Christina] is thinking in terms of maybe singing, how he sang the song.

“I’m looking at him as a performer,” he continued. “And I know the show is called, ‘The Voice,’ but I’m looking for the best performance and I think that he represented himself magnificently on the show so far.”

Like Christina, JC is also flexing his reality TV muscles as a judge on “Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew,” and the 35-year-old star was quick to deliver a verdict on which of *NSYNC’s five members had the best moves.

“I think Justin [Timberlake] and I were probably the best two dancers,” he told Billy and Kit. “The fun part about me was I was also acrobatic, so I could do backflips across the stage and things like that – that was one of kind of my things that I brought to the table.”

[NEWS] TONY LUCCA MAKES AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING CHRISTINA'S CRITICISMS

On last week's performance episode of "The Voice," there was some major tension between contestant Tony Lucca and his former "Mickey Mouse Club" co-star, Christina Aguilera. She wasn't particularly pleased that Lucca's famous friends like Justin Timberlake were tweeting their support for him, because she felt that there were stronger voices in the competition. It was an awkward moment, to say the least.

Zap2it had the chance to chat with Lucca last week, so we had to ask him about Aguilera's criticism, which some fans found harsh.

Lucca admits that having people like Timberlake in his corner did put him at an advantage -- but that doesn't necessarily mean the advantage is unfair.

"These are my friends, and certainly it's just them trying to support their friend," he says. "Yeah, the repercussions are sizeable."

He accepts her constructive criticism gracefully.

"I think she's really well-spoken on the show, and quite honestly, probably one of the most intelligent on the subject of vocals and singing and stage production and stuff. I take it all in stride and I value her opinion tremendously."

As for any perceived trouble in M-I-C-K-E-Y-because-we-like-you paradise, Lucca shrugs it off.

"A lot of people have kind of questioned [Christina's] tone, and maybe that's where the awkwardness came in, but I'm inspired by it, it's fine," he laughs. "I mean, obviously there's some social media fall-out and everybody kind of wants to talk about this rivalry that continues, but it's not my place to speculate. It happened and we're moving on."

[NEWS] ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: 'CHRISTINA AGUILERA TELLS IT LIKE IT IS'

TONY LUCCA

Good thing The Voice has a boxing ring on set, because Christina's about to punch out Justin Timberlake. Turns out that JT has stayed in touch with Tony Lucca ever since their Mickey Mouse Club days, and he tweeted his support for Lucca and Team Adam on Monday.

"Tony Lucca @luccadoes performs LIVE tonight on #TheVoice," he posted. Tune in and vote for my boy!!! #realtalent."

At which point, Xtina gets like, Uh-oh, it's on!

Now, before we get to that heated exchange, let's get through a few tense words of our own. I know there's a ton of Tony Lucca fans who read these recaps. And I love his awesome cover of Daniel Johnston's "Devil Town" as much as anyone, especially when it was used so well on Friday Night Lights. But I just don't think his version of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" is anything special. When he drops the falsetto parts down to a lower key, he can sing everything more easily, but he destroys all the vulnerability in those high notes, when Gabriel's voice almost cracks. And what the heck is Lucca doing slapping those fans' hands so excitedly? We're supposed to hear his heart breaking! This song's dedicated to the guy who gave some lady his heart, and she left it at the Gas N Sip, remember?

Christina is obviously peeved. "Hi Tony," she says, sighing. "Obviously we go back." (Imagine Lil Xtina and Kiddie Tony fighting over Mickey Mouse ears. So cute!) "I thought that was a good performance, I just find it to be very one-dimensional." Then she continues: "Obviously, you have me and your old Mouseketeer buddies behind you, and Justin in particular, but I hope this is about the voice, rather than a celebrity sway."

You can say what you will about Christina, but even when she's not nice, she always tells it like it is. Even Adam has to respect that. "That was honest," he admits. "Honest is good."

Besides, celebrity endorsements feel kinda tacky on a show that's supposedly searching for raw talent alone. And that should make me want to DITCH HIM. But he's been better in previous weeks, so I'll give him another chance. Let's KEEP HIM TIL TOMORROW, and hope that Timberlake backs off.

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' LIVE SHOWS: 12 THINGS YOU DIDN'T SEE ON TV

Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine’s teams threw a pretty rock and roll heavy live show on NBC's The Voice on Monday. The Hollywood Reporter was there feeling the heat -- both literally and figuratively -- all to bring you the behind-the-scenes details that the home audience didn’t get to see.

6. Christina makes time for a little fan. The warm-up guy set up a quick dance contest over a commercial break. He asked one bubbly eight-year-old girl who her favorite coach is and she answered Christina. So, that earned her a big hug from the pop star -- a pretty good consolation gift for placing second in the contest later.

9. Dissension in the ranks? Christina was pretty hard on her former co-Mouseketeer Tony Lucca after his performance calling it "one-dimensional" and wondering if the support of their former Mickey Mouse Club stars -- specifically one very supportive Justin Timberlake -- would make the show a popularity contest. And perhaps, there was much more to say about it than what was said during the televised critiques. During the next commercial break, Blake, Cee Lo and Adam had a spirited huddle.

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE': TONY LUCCA TALKS 'BIZARRE' REUNION WITH CHRISTINA AGUILERA

The Voice ended its second season premiere episode on Sunday with a performer it had to know would get some traction among the media and the show’s fans. Tony Lucca had starred on Disney Channel’s The Mickey Mouse Club in the early-90s along with coach Christina Aguilera. And, he had a lot of time to worry about how the reunion would all play out.

“The reunion was bizarre in a lot of ways,” Tony tells reporters during a press call on Monday. “Obviously, the producers and I agreed that was an interesting piece of the story, so we covered a lot of ground in that leading up to the audition. I certainly pulled my hair… What would be the best approach?”

The married father of one son admits he was always gunning for Adam Levine as his coach, but fretted whether Christina would feel snubbed when he went with the Maroon 5 frontman. Or if he did join his old cast mate’s team, would it be strange or inappropriate down the line when she had to pick between him and another performer?

“The fact that it didn't dawn on her who I was until after the blind audition certainly made that a little easier,” the 35-year-old singer-songwriter says. The cameras captured Christina’s jaw drop as her chair turned away from the stage and she recognized Tony. She then got up quickly to find him backstage.

“The way she came in and went down memory lane that was extremely flattering, to say the least,” he says. “It was really cool, because it certainly wasn't solicited or prodded out of her. Her sentiments were very genuine and honest and it was legitimately cool to reconnect. Everything's going to be a little bizarre in front of a camera, but I couldn't have been happier with the way it went down and I'm just really grateful for her to have been so gracious and flattering.”

There’s a four-year age difference between the singer and the 31-year-old coach, which may not mean a lot now, but Tony says that Christina, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake were part of the younger members of the series’ cast and often played the “little siblings.” Tony further addressed the age gap when reporters asked about Christina’s admission that Britney had a crush on him back in the day.

[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]
“They kind of looked up to us and found out where we did all our shopping,” Tony recalls. “They'd go out and buy some of our clothes… I was dating Keri Russell at the time and I know that Britney and Christina just thought the world of her and looked up to her. Maybe, in that light it would be apparent that there was a crush or something. But no, not like something that was ever acted upon or initiated or anything like that at all. It was much more like a little sister-type thing. My wife got the biggest kick out of that.”

After Disney Channel canceled The Mickey Mouse Club in 1994, Tony moved to Los Angeles to act. He later became a fulltime musician releasing more than seven studio albums and five EPs, as well as working as a touring musician for several acts including fellow mouseketeers JC Chasez and Justin's group, 'N Sync.

The entire production will run 8 minutes, and will open the show. The introductory video will be eerie, and will feature a home video of a six year old Britney Spears playing with Barbies. This will lead into Selena Gomez singing “…Baby” in a signature school girl outfit. Followed by Miley Cyrus, whispering “…I know I may be young…” with a snake draped around her neck. Then, Demi Lovato enters rises from the center of the stage with a sequined costume on. As Demi’s song ends, all girls strut to left stage, put on Mickey Mouse ears and sing “3″ in a manner that will surely have people talking the next day. (Hint..Hint…think 2003) As their shocking performance ends, lights fade up on Katy Perry who is soon joined by Rihanna in singing “Hold It Against Me”. As their song ends, Nicki Minaj comes from the back of the audience wearing a ringleader outfit and singing her “World Ends” verse. As she finishes, all eyes shift to Britney who performs her song with Sabi. (Details of this will be available later)

Before Video of the Year is presented, there will be a video montage of Britney videos with excerpts of stars thanking Britney for her contributions to music including: Miley Cyrus (confirmed), Lady Gaga (confirmed), Justin Timberlake (unconfirmed), Selena Gomez (confirmed), Joe Jonas (confirmed), Will.I.Am (unconfirmed), and Christina Aguilera (unconfirmed). As the video ends, Madonna enters the stage, makes a brief statement and presents Britney the Lifetime Achievement Award.”
