Christina Aguilera Did Not Get Fired From The Voice

Despite a recent decision by NBC to renew the reality talent show for another season, rumors began swirling earlier this week that judge/coach Christina Aguilera would not return to The Voice. Responding to the unverified claims, a well-paid suit at NBC released an official statement claiming "there is absolutely no truth to the rumor." So while it appears Xtina's job remains safe, we can still ask if you think she should stick with the program.


But first: yesterday's poll: After Iron Man star Terrence Howard unleashed an angry tirade against a complete stranger, we wondered if the crazy recordings were legitimate. Turns out nearly 80 percent of Zimbio readers believe the actor threatened to kill an unknown caller, only to later apologize like a total gentleman. Note to readers: don't leave movie stars' wives loving voicemails, lest you want to die.


But back to Aguilera and her role with The Voice. So here's what we know: no one at the network ever planned on firing her from the show -- at least, not according to NBC Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming, Paul Telegdy. Also, the blonde pop star remains under contract for the second season, which makes sense seeing as she NEVER got axed.


Earlier this week, rumors were flying that Christina Aguilera had been fired from The Voice, with one source who supposedly had an inside scoop, saying: “She doesn’t spend time with her contestants like she’s supposed to. She doesn’t participate. She spends most of her time on set with her boyfriend.” But, rest assured fans as now NBC has revealed that the rumors are just that – rumors!


Christina Aguilera is still under contract for the second season of the show, and NBC’s executive vice president, Paul Telegdy stated earlier today: “There is absolutely no truth to the rumor.” Christina Aguilera’s reps also confirmed that the rumor is untrue and were quick to point out that the show is a big hit because of Christina and fellow mentors, Blake Shelton, Cee-Lo Green and Adam Levine. We’re not sure why everyone is out to get Christina Aguilera lately, but her fans know better and can’t wait to see her again for the show’s second season!


The Voice’s second season premiere will take place right after the Superbowl on Sunday, February 5, 2012 and will then move to Mondays at 8 pm EST starting on Feb. 6! Are you excited for the show’s second season? We sure are!
