by Donald Deane, posted Apr 11th 2011 11:15AM
Being a judge on the vocal competition 'The Voice' sometimes requires a firm hand, said Christina Aguilera on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM ET on NBC). In fact, Aguilera affectionately referred to fellow judges Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as "boys" who occasionally need "slaps" to be kept in line."Well, I'm the mama bear trying to reign in my rowdy boys here," said Aguilera. "It's literally me and the boys. I can't even believe I'm witness to some of the conversations that happen ... They're just like three brothers."

He also said that Elton John is absolutely not in the running "He's so grumpy nowadays. He'd just be moaning the whole time," said Cowell.
Charlie Sheen Gets ABC Great Ratings, Christina Aguilera Named Third Coach on 'The Voice' and More
by Joel Keller, posted Mar 2nd 2011 4:00PM
Even if ABC waited too long to air their complete Charlie Sheen interview on last night's special '20/20,' as I speculated yesterday, it didn't seem to matter all that much.According to Deadline.com, ABC won the Tuesday at 10PM timeslot in the 18–49 demo, attracting 9.5 million viewers. '20/20' almost doubled the rating of its lead-in, 'V,' and it gave the Alphabet net its best ratings in that time slot in two years.
Are we ever going to tire of Charlie Sheen mania? Probably. But for now, Sheen continues to be "Winning!", as he is saying on Twitter and all over the media landscape. And now that he's had his twin boys taken away from him, the story doesn't seem like it'll go away anytime soon.

Christina Aguilera is having a rough February. In two major television events, she's had a slip-up of one kind or another. At 'The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards' (Sun., 8PM ET on CBS), it was of the literal variety. And it was at the top of the show.The Grammys kicked off with a lengthy tribute to Aretha Franklin featuring Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride, Florence Welch and Yolanda Adams. Luckily for Aguilera, her fall didn't happen during the lengthy musical tribute.
But as the camera was panning back and the women were repositioning themselves for their bow, you could clearly see Aguilera slip and fall to the stage. It might not have been so noticeable if her hair wasn't so brightly blonde.

The Twitterverse exploded Sunday night after Christina Aguilera fumbled the lyrics to the National Anthem during the pre-game show for Super Bowl XLV.Aguilera should have sung: "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?" but instead repeated an earlier line with a slight variation. She sang: "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming."
Although the singer was unavailable for comment straight after the gaffe, she later released a statement to the Associated Press, in which she said that she flubbed the line after getting lost in the moment and losing her place.

Christina Aguilera, always a pro singing the national anthem, couldn't make it through the Star Spangled Banner before the kickoff of Super Bowl XLV. Aguliera, who has handled the task without issue before NBA games, botched the lyrics badly halfway through the song.
Instead of "'O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming" turned into "what so proudly we watched at the twilight's last [unintelligable lyric]."
Luckily, Aguilera had the quick, crowd-rousing "rocket's red glare" line to follow it up, which she nailed and got the packed Cowboys Stadium quickly on her side.

Christina Aguilera sat down with Chelsea Handler for the late-night host's second prime-time 'Big Interview Special' (Mon., 10PM ET on E!). Despite the more formal setting and slightly earlier broadcast, Handler wasn't afraid to broach the crude or taboo topics.

I have no shame about peeing in a bucket -- or doing other things in a bucket -- if necessary."
She chatted further on the topic, saying, "It fascinates me ... Who has to carry it away? 'Oh, honey, I'm so sorry! Lemme give you a bonus this week!'" Handler responded, "I'm more fascinated in the fact that you're able to accomplish that [so quickly]."
