‘The Voice’ Alum Recreates Iconic Look From Two Decades Ago: Photos

As “Burlesque: The Musical” officially gets set to open at London’s Savoy Theatre on July 22, Christina Aguilera attended the July 19th preview, documenting the evening on Instagram.

“BLOWN AWAY!!!” She captioned the video. Based on the 2010 film, Aguilera serves as an executive producer of the musical. She also wrote songs for the adaptation, alongside Sia, Todrick Hall, and Jess Folley.

Two days later, “The Voice” alum joined the London cast for a photocall for the show. The singer showcased her svelte frame in a form-fitting olive green dress, but her fans had mixed reactions to both the outfit and her hair and makeup.

Christina Aguilera’s Fans Had Mixed Reactions

E! News posted an Instagram video of Aguilera wearing the corset-style Versace dress and thigh-high black boots. Her makeup was goth-inspired, featuring dark lips, heavy eye makeup, and dark contouring that accentuated her already prominent cheekbones. Her hair was also frizzy and blown out.

Many took to the comments to blast the look as harsh. “Why did her makeup and hair stylist do this to her?” wrote one person. “I feel like the color is not complimenting her along with the lipstick and really crispy hair. Would be a great hocus pocus halloween outfit tho,” another commented.

But not everyone disliked the look. Several fans immediately recognized that she was partially recreating a look she had worn for Versace in Fall 2003.

“Versace 2002 campaign! I liveee,” read a comment. “For people who don’t understand why her hair and makeup looks like that they need to look up the campaign she did for Versace in 2002,” commented another. “This is supposed to be the [look] that she’s recreating.. stop criticizing.”

Christina Aguilera Made Her Acting Debut in the 2010 Film

In the 2010 film, Aguilera played Alice ‘Ali’ Marilyn, a girl who leaves her small Iowa town and heads to Los Angeles to become a singer. She gets a job at a burlesque lounge as a waitress and dancer. Cher plays Tess Scali, the owner of the lounge. The film marked Aguilera’s film debut, and she also contributed to the 2010 album. It was considered a success, as it earned almost $90 million on a $55 million budget.

““I’m proud that ‘Burlesque the Musical’ is coming to London’s West End!” Aguilera said in a statement (via Playbill). “Our journey of making this film to bringing this show to the stage has been so special and exciting. Following our successful previews, having the show land in the West End later this year is a dream come true!”

A new video of Christina Aguilera visiting a Barry’s bootcamp location has some fans saying that she’s “too thin.”

Why Kelly Clarkson Hasn’t Been Dating … So Relatable

Kelly Clarkson is enjoying her life as a single mom and isn’t rushing to change that. While performing at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas over the weekend, the 43-year-old “American Idol” alum got real with her fans about why she’s happily flying solo.

“Dating can be very difficult, which is why I don’t,” Clarkson said during her Studio Sessions residency, according to fan-captured footage shared via TikTok on July 20. “It’s hard anyway; add a spotlight and it’s like a … dumpster fire.”

The comment sparked laughter and applause from the audience. “The Voice” coach, known for her unfiltered honesty, shared how fame complicates even the most basic human experiences.

Why Clarkson Isn’t Looking for Love Right Now

This isn’t the first time Clarkson has addressed her post-divorce dating life. Back in May, she appeared on “Today With Jenna & Friends“, where she told Jenna Bush Hager that she was “not looking” and “very busy.”

Her reasoning seems grounded in self-awareness and a full plate—between her talk show, music, and parenting, dating has clearly taken a back seat.

Clarkson, who was married to Brandon Blackstock from 2013 to 2022, also revisited the emotional toll of her past relationship during a May 9 performance in Atlantic City. “We learn from our parents, [who] learn from their parents. We keep repeating the same horrible s* over and over,” she said. “Now, it turns out that I chose the same f*ing path.”

Clarkson filed for divorce in 2020, and the former couple settled two years later. The “Since U Been Gone” singer received primary custody of their two kids—daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington, 9. She later relocated from Los Angeles to New York City. In a 2023 interview with USA Today, Clarkson explained the move. “I thought I was making a horrible decision,” she said. “I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn’t be in L.A. … So I was like, ‘The only other option would probably be New York.’”

She Says She’s Doing Just Fine

During her Vegas show, Clarkson also poked fun at the realities of being a working artist compared to global superstars like Taylor Swift. “When you tour, like, you have to take everything in trucks. So, you have to pay for all that,” she told the crowd.

“You can’t really pay for seven guitars on stage ‘cause you make no money. Unless you’re Taylor Swift, then you can do whatever the f*** you want. For the rest of us minions, [it doesn’t] work.”

For now, Kelly Clarkson is focused on herself, her kids, and keeping it real, no dating apps required!

Is Reba McEntire the Same Off-Camera? Here’s What a Former Co-Star Revealed

Reba McEntire is a country music icon and beloved coach on “The Voice,” but a former co-star of Reba’s recently shared some tidbits about their relationship now and what it was like working with the queen herself, including how Reba is off-camera.

JoAnna Garcia Swisher starred on McEntire’s show “Reba” from 2001 to 2007. Garcia Swisher recently talked about the bond they formed at that time and how it has continued all these years later.

McEntire Is an Inspiration

Garcia Swisher talked about the opportunity to work with Reba was “a dream come true” during an interview with The Blast.

“You have this person that’s just such an icon, she’s the queen, and then she’s also like a mom to me,” she explained. “And she was in it with us. She was doing a sitcom for the first time and dove in fearlessly.”

For those worrying that McEntire might be different when the cameras turn off, no need to worry. Garcia Swisher said Reba is an inspiration, saying, “She’s just an exceptional person inside and out.”

For someone who is a household name, Garcia Swisher said McEntire is “just a real humble, good human. She doesn’t take herself too seriously. She’s all heart. I’m in awe of her.”

Fearless for Her First Time Doing Comedy

While “Reba” went off the air almost two decades ago, the cast remains close to this day. Garcia Swisher said, “We talk all the time. We are very, very close.” She reflected on her time on the show and said it was “a pivotal moment in my life.”

She also said that Reba’s “fearlessness” was something she would “forever admire.”

“Reba” just so happened to be McEntire’s first time working on a comedy show. While she had success in country music, a TV comedy was a big stretch for her. Garcia Swisher told The Blast, “It was cool to see someone who has achieved so much in other areas of entertainment be so eager to try something new.”

The bond between the cast is very strong, as Garcia Swisher revealed in an episode of “Sibling Rivalry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson” that McEntire and “Reba” co-star Christopher Rich became like parental figures to her following the loss of her parents.

In fact, Rich officiated Garcia Swisher’s wedding in 2010. In addition, McEntire and “Reba” co-star Melissa Peterman served as bridesmaids.

On the podcast, she said, “I was so lucky to be a working actress on a television show that was beloved, but also, that I had real people that cared about me and made sure I was safe.”

The Voice hit by unexpected upset ahead of season 28 shake-up

The NBC competition show has fallen behind

Is The Voice losing its appeal?

The beloved NBC music competition has been on the air since 2011 for 27 seasons, when the founding judges were Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and CeeLo Green.

In that time, it has earned a whopping 86 Emmy nominations across the awards’ many categories, however, that wasn’t the case this year.

For the first time since 2012, The Voice didn’t earn any nominations within the Television Academy’s main awards, losing out on its chance to win its fourth Emmy.

It did however earn some Creative Arts nods, the branch of the Emmys that focuses on technical, creative and craft categories, including Outstanding Picture Editing for a Structured Reality or Competition Program, Outstanding Hairstyling for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program, Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction for a Series, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Reality Program, Outstanding Technical Direction and Camerawork for a Series.

In place of The Voice, Survivor is back in the game in the Outstanding Reality Competition Program category, after failing to earn a nomination last year.

Others in the category are RuPaul’s Drag Race, Shark Tank, Top Chef, and fan favorite The Traitors.

What’s next for season 28

The Emmys upset comes amid a major cast change for the upcoming 28th season, as not one, not two, but three of the four judges are not coming back, making Michael Bublé, who first joined for season 26 in 2024, the only judge staying on.

Adam, a founding judge alongside Blake, who has since also left the show, initially departed in 2019, and this season was his first (and apparently only) back on the chair. He confirmed as much during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, declaring: “I am gonna confirm the rumors are true.” He added: “The rumors are correct. There are details. I cannot divulge all the details.”

Meanwhile Kelsea Ballerini, who made her debut as judge this season, is eager to lay low for a while. Speaking with ExtraTV, she confessed: “I’m going to hibernate for a while,” and emphasized she is going to “disappear for a bit.”

Miley Cyrus also once served as judge

Last but certainly not least, John Legend is also leaving, however he has been more mum about it and what his summer plans are. While he hasn’t opened up much about it this time around, he has taken breaks from The Voice before, and when he didn’t come back for season 26, he told Entertainment Tonight: “We’ve always got so many things going on. I’ll be doing a lot of shows this summer and traveling overseas this summer.”

As for who to expect on the judges panel next season alongside Michael? Well three may be leaving, but expect some familiar faces back on those swivel chairs! Previous judges and fan-favorites Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg have all been confirmed to be coming back for season 28.

You Won’t BELIEVE Who Blake Shelton Just Called the ‘2nd Worst’ “Voice” Coach EVER! Longtime “The Voice” viewers thought they’d seen it all, but Blake Shelton’s latest comments have set the internet ablaze!

Blake Shelton Jokes Kelly Clarkson Is the ‘2nd Worst’ Coach in ‘The Voice’ History: Who’s the 1st?

Always in on the joke! Blake Shelton has always playfully poked fun at his fellow Voice coaches — and Kelly Clarkson is no different.

During the Thursday, December 2, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the country singer, 45, was surprised when the host said he thinks Clarkson’s team is going to win season 21 because she has the group Girl Named Tom on her team.

“The only thing I worry about with that particular group is they’re on Kelly’s team, and while Kelly is a great person and an incredible artist and a great talk show host, she is hands down, the worst coach we’ve ever had on The Voice,” the “God’s Country” singer told Jimmy Fallon.

“Out of everyone, more than Adam [Levine]?” the comedian, 47, responded, causing Shelton to second-guess himself.

“She is the second worst coach that we’ve ever had on this show, without question,” he joked.

Shelton and Levine, 42, were extremely close during their 16 seasons together on the show, constantly bickering with one another. The Maroon 5 singer left the show in 2019 after season 16.

Although the “My Life Would Suck Without You” singer joined in season 14, the nine-time Grammy nominee previously joked about her replacing Levine.

“I want you to look for just a second at this coaching panel. Take note of who’s missing — and who’s in that chair,” the country star said during a March episode of The Voice. “Now, I’m not saying Kelly Clarkson got Adam fired, but he’s gone, and she’s sitting there, OK? This network stands for ‘Nothing But Clarkson.’ If Maroon 5 inspires you, I don’t know if I would choose a coach that is their arch-nemesis.”

Months after his exit, Levine explained that he chose to leave in order to spend more time with wife Behati Prinsloo and daughters Dusty, 5, and Gio, 3.

“[I’m] able to stop in this moment to [be] with my new, young family and have the greatest time ever,” he told Ellen DeGeneres at the time. “Now I’m just a stay-at-home dad. I just stay at home and do very little. It’s great. … [I’m] obsessed. I know that’s a good thing because they’re my children, but that’s why I don’t do much because I love hanging out. I genuinely just adore them in a way I never knew I could adore any little human.”

During Thursday’s interview, Shelton also joked about Ariana Grande, who became a coach at the beginning of season 21.

“She’s a little shaky. She’s having a tough time with this thing,” the CMA winner said of Grande, 28. “I have to tell her after every episode, if someone goes home, you know, ‘They didn’t send them to the alligator pit or something, Ariana.’ She’s crying and sobbing. People see her crying on TV, but they can’t imagine when the camera goes off. She falls apart.”

The Voice airs on NBC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.

John Legend says he’s taking a break from social media: ‘It’s truly better for my mental health’

John Legend has had enough of social media’s collective smart mouth.

“I used to be on social media a lot more than I am now. I generally post more on Instagram and some on TikTok, but I kind of stopped posting on Twitter,” Legend told Yahoo Life, adding that X (formerly known as Twitter) has become “a little too toxic.”

“After a while, having that much transparency between you and your audience — not just coming from you, but also coming to you — all the incoming [discourse], it was just a lot. After a while, I was just like, ‘You know, I don’t need that.’ And it’s truly better for my mental health. I just found it better for my mental health to stay away.”

Although “The Voice” coach considers himself “pretty unflappable,” he takes steps to care for himself mentally and physically and applies the “everything in moderation” philosophy to most aspects of his life, including diet, exercise and alcohol. The EGOT winner also partnered with Pfizer to raise awareness about the COVID-19 vaccine ahead of the holidays.

Megyn Kelly said Chrissy Teigen looked ‘like she was literally going to the coronation’ at the White House Correspondents Dinner. John Legend disagrees.

May 5, 2023

“Some people feel like it’s controversial to talk about vaccines,” he told the outlet. “To me, it’s just intuitive. … I want to protect my family, and I want to encourage other people to do the same.

“There’s a lot of misinformation out there,” Legend continued. “I think a lot of people have a general kind of distrust of the authority, or mandates or the establishment, and I understand that. What I tried to rely on is, I talked to my doctor, not any random person on Facebook. I believe if you listen to the experts, the evidence and the recommendation of the medical community is very clear. And I’d rather listen to them than a random average Joe on the internet.”

Chrissy Teigen’s past has come back to haunt her as previous targets detail how she bullied them online. Here’s everything to know so far.

June 15, 2021

Legend’s break from social media follows wife Chrissy Teigen’s on-again, off-again relationship with social platforms. In 2021, after a roller-coaster relationship with Twitter, the model and cookbook author left the social media platform, where she’d long reigned as tweetress supreme, citing a toxic environment that had taken a toll on her mental health.

“For over 10 years, you guys have been my world,” Teigen tweeted shortly before deactivating her account in March 2021. “I honestly owe so much to this world we have created here. I truly consider so many of you my actual friends.

“But it’s time for me to say goodbye,” she added in a follow-up tweet. “This no longer serves me as positively as it serves me negatively, and I think that’s the right time to call something.”

She caved and returned three weeks later.

‘The Voice’ Celebrates Soaring Success While ‘American Idol’ Faces Fan Backlash Amidst Challenging News”

‘American Idol’ & ‘The Voice’ Ratings Revealed: Which Show Has More Viewers?

American Idol and The Voice have both seen major shake-ups for their current seasons, but which show is bringing in the most viewers?

Season 27 of The Voice premiered on February 3, 2025, on NBC and saw the return of former coach Adam Levine, back for his seventeenth season after last coaching during Season 16. Levine joined returning coaches John Legend and Michael Bublé and first-time coach Kelsea Ballerini.

Meanwhile, Season 23 of American Idol premiered on ABC on March 2, 2025, and saw season four winner Carrie Underwood joining the judging panel to replace Katy Perry. Underwood serves as a judge alongside regulars Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

According to The U.S. Sun, The Voice is currently winning the ratings war between the two long-running singing competitions. The March 17 episode of The Voice brought in 5,237,000 total viewers for NBC, almost a million more than Idol‘s March 16 episode, which brought in 4,510,000 total viewers.

The March 9 episode of Idol, which featured Part 2 of the Auditions, amassed 4,494,000 total viewers. In comparison, the March 10 episode of The Voice had 5,470,000 total viewers.

In fact, the only episode of Idol to beat The Voice so far this season was the premiere on March 2, which aired immediately after the Academy Awards. That episode brought in 5,905,000 viewers, compared to The Voice‘s 5,646,000 viewers for its March 3 episode.

The Voice’s premiere on February 3 reached 5,684,000 total viewers.

Idol faced controversy earlier this year when some fans vowed to boycott the show after Underwood performed “America the Beautiful” at President Donald Trump‘s inauguration.

“I will not watch anymore with MAGA Carrie!! I’ve been a fan since the beginning and Kelly Clarkson’s win, but no more. Sad for all fans of the show!” wrote one viewer on social media.

Another added, “I won’t be watching maga Carrie!!!! Sad, because I really love the other 2 judges… when she leaves the show then I’ll return.”

Underwood later shared a statement with People, explaining her decision to perform at Trump’s inauguration. “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” she said. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Major Shakeup Spells Sad News For Wheel of Fortune and Pat Sajak Fans

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Soaps.com may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Wheel of Fortune and Pat Sajak fans have been dealt a devastating blow about the celebrity version of the game show. Read on to find out what’s going on with Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

More from Soaps.com

When Does Celebrity Wheel of Fortune Come Back?

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune was set to premiere on October 14, but sadly, the date has been pushed back considerably. The show will now air beginning mid-season — and it’s all due to football.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune will now premiere in 2025, according to an October 11 press release from ABC. “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Press Your Luck and ABC News’ Scamanda will premiere in 2025,” ABC said in a press release shared with TVLine. ABC is adding “six Monday Night Football simulcasts to its previously announced schedule,” forcing the network to bump Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

The statement explained: “ABC is a destination for marquee NFL programming including, as part of our new deal, Super Bowl 61 (February 2027), the first of two. The decision to add more simulcast games was made in conjunction with the NFL and is just for the 2024-25 season. This schedule leans into the cross-promotional opportunities maximizing the reach of NFL programming across the Disney ecosystem. ESPN has already aired four exclusive games during 2024 season and will have three additional exclusive games, with two in November and one in December. There are 25 Games on ESPN’s 2024 NFL Schedule.”

The statement added: “Furthermore, this move will give the ABC game shows Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and Press Your Luck a more consistent, weekly run in midseason when there are less preemptions (i.e. football, 2024 election).”

So far, there’s no firm date set for the premiere of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Some of the episodes have already been filmed since it was expected to air in October 2024.

In June, Sajak announced he was leaving his hosting job at Wheel of Fortune but fans were thrilled that he would be on hand to give his final spin on the celebrity version. Ryan Seacrest took over hosting duties for Sajak beginning with Season 42 of the original game show.

The Celebrity Wheel of Fortune trailer, which was shared earlier this month on the show’s Instagram, has now been removed. In the video, Sajak, standing alongside Vanna White, said, “Get ready for an all-new season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.” She noted, “Big names, big laughs, and big wins for charity.”

The post’s caption promised: “The stars are coming out for Pat’s final spin! See you October 14 for the season premiere of #CelebrityWheelOfFortune.”

Among the stars competing for $1 million to go to the charity of their choosing are: Rainn Wilson, Ellie Kemper, and Oscar Nuñez from The Office, Josh Gad, Justin Long, and Rachael Harris, who appeared on New Girl, and Veep stars Sam Richardson, Randall Park, and Matt Walsh. Tiffany Haddish, Regina Hall, Joe Manganiello, Katharine McPhee, Andrew Rannells, Pete Holmes, and Cameron Brink are also set to appear.

Ryan Seacrest Fans React to His Heartfelt Family Photo on Instagram

The Wheel of Fortune and American Idol host is honoring the special women in his life.

Ryan Seacrest never forgets where he came from — and those who have supported him in his rise to fame.

On March 8, the Wheel of Fortune and American Idol host decided to celebrate the ladies in his life to honor International Women’s Day. As a way to do so, Ryan posted two photos on Instagram from then and now with his mom Constance and his sister Meredith Seacrest Leach. One image depicted the trio at what appeared to be Ryan’s high school graduation, and the other showcased them at the opening of one of Ryan’s Seacrest Studios as part of the Ryan Seacrest Foundation. Nevertheless, he made sure to express how much gratitude he holds for having Constance and Meredith in his corner in life.

“Lucky to be surrounded by strong, smart, and supportive women,” he wrote in the heartfelt caption. “Celebrating my mom, my sister, and all the incredible women out there!”

Upon seeing Ryan’s sweet dedication — and the throwback family moment — online, fans immediately bombarded him with how much they loved his sentiment.

“What a pretty photo from the 90s! 😍 Your mom and sister have matching dresses on, your family is so beautiful. 👏,” one person wrote in the comments. “Such a proud son and brother. Keep it that way! 😀 Count your blessings every day,” another agreed. “You look like your beautiful Mom,” a different follower observed.

We so love to see such a supportive family! What’s more, they help out Ryan with his philanthropic work as Meredith is the Executive Director and CEO of the Ryan Seacrest Foundation (Constance also participates as a Board Member of her son’s organization).

But that’s not all — Ryan and Meredith have also worked together outside of the foundation. They released their first children’s book, The Make-Believers, back in October 2024 — and the two shared how their childhood inspired them to write the literary title.

“Reflecting on our childhood, I got the idea to make the book about make-believe,” Meredith told Good Housekeeping at the time. “Then we got connected to a publisher and started to focus on the words and the storyline … It took us more than two years to produce from start to finish, but we’re excited to be able to share it with families.”

Well said!

Vanna White Breaks Silence On Ryan Seacrest Conflict Rumors

Recently, there has been talk about Wheel Of Fortune‘s new host, Ryan Seacrest, and veteran assistant, Vanna White, struggling during filming. While it is expected that anyone following in Pat Sajak’s footsteps will experience growing pains, this seems to be more. However, Vanna breaks her silence on the conflict rumors.

Growing Pains

Undeniably, Wheel Of Fortune is going through a huge transition. Reportedly, while Vanna White is expecting things to be a little rocky, there have been moments she questions if she should have retired with Pat Sajak. Since Pat’s leaving, it seems like there has been some division between the new host, Ryan Seacrest, and the longtime letter-turning queen, Vanna. Without a doubt, the growing pains of training a new host, after the tried and true work of having the same host for more than forty years, has to be grueling. However, Vanna sends a message as the rumors swirl about their behind-the-scenes beef.

Vanna White Breaks Silence On Ryan Seacrest Conflict Rumors

On July 9, Vanna White posted a photo of her and Ryan Seacrest breaking bread together. She captions: “Friends on and off camera. Enjoying one of our favorites, Chicken and Dumplings!” In the photo, they both lean toward each other and smile for the camera while holding spoonfuls of chicken and dumplings. Amid all the rumors of work conflict, the two seem to be finding common ground by sharing a meal. Seemingly, this is Vanna’s way of showing there is peace between them as she clarifies their “on and off camera” friendship. Both Vanna and Ryan are filming their first season together for the fall. Furthermore, time will tell how the new duo works together on the Wheel Of Fortune stage.

Fans Aren’t Sure About Vanna White’s Statements

However, after Vanna White posted the photo, not everyone was convinced by her statement. Several Wheel Of Fortune fans left comments.

“There’s no f-in way Vanna can stand Ryan. He’s a massive phony.”
“I don’t think i can believe anything I read in the news anymore!!! Last week I read that they can’t stand each other, and she is thinking about retiring because she doesn’t like how Ryan does the show. They look happy here.”
“Very disappointed that Wheel of Fortune chose Ryan Sescrest as Pat’s replacement. There is plenty talent to choose from. Even an unknown would have been better.”
But one fan thinks Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest need to go. “I will not be watching wheel of Fortune ever again – I absolutely cannot stand fakey Ryan Seacrest, and it’s absolutely time for Vanna to retire.”
“I have a gut feeling that he will be unkind to Vanna and push her out. He’s sketchy.”
