Rumor has it the producers of The Voice plan to replace Christina Aguilera on the show. A source claims: “She doesn’t spend time with her contestants like she’s supposed to. She doesn’t participate. She spends most of her time on the set with her boyfriend.” Another source says she’s been drinking on the job, but a different source points out that Adam Levin and Blake Shelton sometimes do shots while filming. Look, she’s the only lady, surrounded by a bunch of dudebros, and maybe she feels more comfortable hanging with her boyfriend than high-fiving and downing tequila? [x17]
