[NEWS] IT'S OFFICIAL: 'THE VOICE' TO BRING BACK ORIGINAL COACHES FOR SEASON 5

CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera will return this fall, with Shakira and Usher back for season 6.

It's official: The Voice is bringing back its original lineup of coaches for season five.

It was announced Friday that Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, who have been on the NBC singing competition since its inception, will be reunited in the red chairs with Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green when The Voice returns in the fall.

The Hollywood Reporter previously reported in a Levine cover story published in March that the original coaches were expected back for season five.

Shakira and Usher, who replaced Aguilera and Green for the current fourth season, will be back for the sixth cycle, which is slated for a midseason launch following the 2014 Winter Olympics. Levine and Shelton will remain as coaches. NBC plans on using its Winter Olympics coverage from Sochi, Russia, as another platform to tout the sixth season.

Carson Daly, who also leads late-night talker Last Call, will continue as host.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA RETURNING TO 'THE VOICE' WITH NEW $17 MILLION DEAL?

Christina Aguilera is in line to return to NBC's The Voice, it has been claimed.

The musician has signed a deal believed to be worth around $17 million (£11.1m) and will return for season five, an insider with knowledge of negotiations told The Wrap.

Aguilera was one of the original coaches when the reality singing competition launched on the network in 2011, but left along with Cee Lo Green to promote new projects at the end of season three last winter.

Usher and Shakira joined The Voice in their places for the fourth season, which is currently underway.

If Aguilera's return is confirmed, it is not immediately clear how it would affect the current composition of the panel.

NBC did not announce any changes at its upfronts presentation for 2013-14 on Monday (May 13), and is yet to comment on the reports.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA TEASES POSSIBLE COLLABORATION WITH JUSTIN BIEBER

The one artist Christina Aguilera really wanted to hear at the American Music Awards was Justin Bieber! She told "Extra's" Renee Bargh on the red carpet, “I’m really into this song right now called, ‘As Long as You Love Me’ and it’s Justin Bieber’s song, so I’m actually looking forward to it tonight.”

The "Lotus" singer even tweeted her Bieber Fever excitement leading up to the awards show, so Renee asked, “What about a little collaboration with Justin?” Christina responded, “Who knows, the possibilities are endless, so we’ll see.”

Aguilera is also preparing to pass the "Voice" baton to Usher at the end of the season. She's ready to give the "Scream" singer a turn in the judge's chair, but she has some words of wisdom for the “Scream” singer, “Get ready, get ready for a wild ride!”

She added, "I have all the faith in the world that he will do a great job.”

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA EMBRACES HER BODY THROUGH AGING AND MOTHERHOOD

She's taken her knocks, but Christina Aguilera remains defiant on the subject of her body – saying she loves everything about herself as a mother in her 30s.

"Some people are afraid of change and [feel] that getting older is a bad thing, but I really love maturing and gaining wisdom," the 31-year-old pop star, Voice coach and mother of son Max, 4, tells PEOPLE. "And the experience of being pregnant and having a child and seeing what a woman's body can do is amazing."

If you're going to be a hater, so be it – it won't faze her.

"I've always been one to make it very clear, love me or hate me, take it or leave it, this is who I am," she says. "I embrace my body, and I embrace everything about myself. Coming full circle is a celebration of freedom and happiness because that's what [my new album] Lotus is representing. I'm embracing everything that I've grown to be and learned to be."

About that new album, which comes out Nov. 13 – did Aguilera have any qualms about appearing nude on the cover?

"It's very interesting, because I don't see that album cover as being nude at all," she says. "I actually feel very covered and it's all about embracing white light and freedom, and I didn't want it to be about too much fashion. I wanted it to be raw, real and free and a celebration of life and the woman I've become."

On the subject of The Voice, Aguilera says Usher and Shakira will be great replacements when she and Cee Lo Green take a break next season. And Shakira needn't worry – it's not too taxing for an expectant mom.

"Well, you just have to sit there, so that's an easy gig pregnant. But I have all of the confidence in the world," Aguilera says. "They are true pros. Shakira and Usher have been doing it for a very long time and have their own fan bases. They can keep my seat warm."

[VIDEO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA PRAISES 'FUN' NICKI MINAJ + SET TO PERFORM AT THE AMA'S

Aguilera, rocking blond, bright pink and purple hair, appeared before the press in Los Angeles on Tuesday to announce the nominees of the 2012 American Music Awards. Minaj, who collaborated with her on the 2010 single "Woohoo," is nominated for four awards.

"I love Nicki Minaj!" Aguilera told OTRC.com and other outlets. "I think she's great, she's fun, she's fun to look at, colorful. I love that she's able to take risks and people embrace that about her."

Minaj, also known for her edgy outfits and hairstyles, recently made headlines due to an online video that shows her getting into a heated, expletive-filled argument with Carey at the judges' table of "American Idol." The two and country singer Keith Urban had joined the FOX singing contest series earlier this year, replacing Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA DESCRIBES LEAVING 'THE VOICE' AS 'BITTERSWEET', TUNE IN MONDAY FOR MORE

Christina Aguilera may be leaving The Voice, but it sounds like it may not have been the easiest decision to make.

"It's bittersweet," the Grammy winner told me earlier today while promoting her new just-released-on-iTunes single, "Your Body," from her upcoming album Lotus (out Nov. 13). "I so enjoy being a coach to my team on The Voice [and] and at this point in season 3, all of us coaches have truly bonded."
And that includes fun times when the cameras aren't rolling on the NBC show.

"When me and Adam [Levine] are on breaks backstage, you know, we're writing profanity with my red lipstick all over Blake [Shelton]'s trailer while he's napping inside," Aguilera said. "It's like we have definitely become like brother and sister. We goof around and play around. I'm going to miss it."
Even so, she explained, "In order to be the best coach I can be on that show is to go out and be able to have the experience as an artist…create new experiences for myself so that I can then come back to the show and share that much more."

Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will be replaced by Shakira and Usher when the new season kicks off in the spring. (E! and NBC are part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Aguilera has already talked to producer Mark Burnett about returning to the show. "He understands that we're artists first," she said. "In order to remain great coaches and to stay relevant, we have to go out and we have to still tour, see our fans one-on-one. I have to feel creatively fulfilled in order for me to then do my job as a coach and be on that show."

That's not all we have for you from Xtina. For more of our sit-down with Ms. Aguilera, make sure to tune into E! News on Monday at 7 and 11:30 p.m.

[NEWS] USHER & SHAKIRA SWAP PLACES WITH CEE LO GREEN & CHRISTINA AGUILERA FOR SEASON 4

The Voice is shaking up its judges panel.

The NBC reality hit has hired R&B singer Usher and Latin singer Shakira as “coaches” for the upcoming spring edition of the series. They’ll replace Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera, who are expected to return to the show next fall. The new additions are part of a plan by NBC and producers to develop an ongoing tent of talent for The Voice that can be mixed and matched as needed. Given the judges’ level of success and tour schedules, it’s difficult to have any of them appear on the show all season now that NBC has decided to run the series in the fall and spring.

“Having award-winning artists as coaches means they need to be able to tour,” said executive producer Mark Burnett. “Whether in the red chair or on tour, our coaches have their chairs for life. This is exactly why, after three seasons, we needed to allow them to rotate out so they can get on the road amongst their fans. Meanwhile, we’re incredibly excited to have singular artists like Usher and Shakira joining the fold.”

Aguilera is releasing a new album and going on tour. CeeLo is developing new music plus working on a scripted comedy series for NBC based on his life. Blake Shelton and Adam Levine will continue on The Voice this spring (and you make your own snarky assumptions about that). The Voice recently returned for its third season and though its ratings were down from previous seasons, it still managed to outshine the Britney-fueled second season premiere of Fox’s The X Factor.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA PICKS BRAZILIAN SINGER WHO ROCKS IT LIKE USHER ON 'THE VOICE'

Usher better watch his back!

Christina Aguilera may have had her poker face on during last night’s The Voice, but the “Beautiful” pop star couldn’t stop smiling for Jonathas' rendition of “You Got It Bad.” Aguilera loved it so much that she turned her chair for the lucky father-of-two, which almost sounds like Usher’s vocal clone.

"If I were to make it on a team for 'The Voice,' this would mean the world for my kids," Jonathas mentioned. "This would change their lives. It would give me the satisfaction that my mom didn't bring me here for nothing." Jonathas emigrated from Brazil to the U.S. when he was just 5.

Fellow judge Cee-Lo also happened to pick Jonathas, but the Brazilian singer decided to go on team Aguilera after her convincing pitch. "In my world, in my genre, in my tours, I've gotten to know some of the best choreographers," she said. "I want to mold you and package you and do the right thing by you... now I feel like Cee-Lo."

Cee-Lo joked about X-Tina having ‘package’ on her mind, but it seems to us that she is all about picking up her game. The pop star also landed Monique and Anthony, who rocked Marvin Gaye's classic "What's Goin' On."

Watch Jonathas' performance below and let us know what was your favorite performance on last night's The Voice?

[CHARTS] 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER' BY MAROON 5 FEAT. CHRISTINA AGUILERA LANDS IN AT NUMBER 1

Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, struts to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, rolling 4-1 with Airplay Gainer honors for a third consecutive week. Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine makes chart headlines of his own, as well, thanks to a leap into the top 10 as a guest on Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts."

"Jagger" returns for a second week at No. 1 on Digital Songs (2-1) with 217,000 downloads sold (up 6%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. On Radio Songs, the collaboration darts 15-11 with 72 million all-format audience impressions (up 20%), according to Nielsen BDS.

The song marks Maroon 5's second Hot 100 No. 1. The band previously reigned for three weeks in 2007 with "Makes Me Wonder." For Aguilera, the return to the chart's apex ends an even greater hiatus. She had last ruled alongside Lil' Kim, Mya and P!nk on "Lady Marmalade" for five weeks in 2001. "Jagger" is Aguilera's fifth Hot 100 No. 1. She banked three leaders from her self-titled debut album in 1999-2000: "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants" and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)."

The accolades don't end, however, for Maroon 5's frontman Adam Levine. He concurrently enters the Hot 100's top 10 (15-10) as a featured artist on Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts." The track vaults 7-3 on Digital Songs (146,000, up 28%) and 37-23 on Radio Songs (40 million, up 28%).

The ascensions of "Jagger" and "Stereo" grant Levine an unprecedented (and certainly quirky) Hot 100 achievement: he becomes the first artist in the chart's 53-year history to reach No. 1 as part of a group and enter the top 10 as a soloist in the same week.

"Jagger" dethrones Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" from the Hot 100 pinnacle after two weeks at No. 1. The song - the record-setting fifth No. 1 from her album "Teenage Dream" - plummets to No. 5, owed largely to a 4-14 fall on Digital Songs (85,000, down 45%). The song does, however, return (2-1) for a third week atop Radio Songs (133 million, down 4%).

In between "Jagger" and "Friday" on the Hot 100, LMFAO's former six-week No. 1 "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, holds at No. 2; Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" roars 7-3; and, Bad Meets Evil's "Lighters," featuring Bruno Mars, rises 6-4.

Rounding out the rest of the Hot 100's 10 are Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" (5-6); Lil Wayne's "How to Love" (8-7); OneRepublic's "Good Life" (9-8); and, Pibull's former No. 1 "Give Me Everything," featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer (11-9).

On the doorstep of the Hot 100's top 10, Rihanna claims Digital Gainer honors with "Cheers (Drink to That)," which soars 17-11. The song bounds 15-5 on Digital Songs (131,000, up 68%), while lifting 19-17 on Radio Songs (52 million, up 13%).

Two titles that make lofty leaps into the Hot 100's top 20 will likely sport further gains next week following buzz-generating appearances on Sunday night's (Aug. 28) MTV Video Music Awards. Lady Gaga's "You and I" charges 35-16, up 92% in digital sales (to 109,000) and 50% in airplay (to 32 million). Adele's "Someone Like You" similarly soars 34-19 on the Hot 100 with gains in sales (95,000 downloads, up 68%) and radio play (29 million, up 41%).

Eight songs debut on the Hot 100, led by "Hell on Heels" (No. 55) by Miranda Lambert side project Pistol Annies. The song is the title cut from the trio's debut album, which shoots onto the Billboard 200 at No. 5.

Game, who takes the Billboard 200's top spot with "The R.E.D. Album," enters the Hot 100 at No. 100 with a cut from the set, "Martians Vs Goblins."

All charts, including the Hot 100, Digital Songs and Radio Songs will be refreshed tomorrow (Sept. 1) on Billboard.com.


Christina Aguilera joins music's elite for charting at least one #1 single over the span of three consecutive decades.

Here's the elite list:

'90s, '00s, '10s
Christina Aguilera
Britney Spears
Usher

'80s, '90s, '00s
Janet Jackson
Madonna

'70s, '80s, '90s
Michael Jackson
Elton John (*Billboard includes Dionne (Warwick) & Friends' 1986 No. 1 "That's What Friends Are For" among John's solo chart history)

'60s, '70s, '80s
Stevie Wonder

With Hot 100-topping titles in the '90s and '00s, Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child (currently inactive), Diddy, Enrique Iglesias, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez and Santana (plus Rob Thomas/matchbox twenty combined) could also each run their No. 1 streaks to three consecutive decades with a No. 1 anytime before the Hot 100 to be dated Jan. 4, 2020.
