When they exited The Voice at the end of season 3, both Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green made sure they left a door open for their return, as Shakira and Usher took their place on the panel of judges. They must have known something.

The Wrap reports that, once season 4 is done, Shakira and Usher will be out the door and Christina and Cee Lo will return.

Moreover, the publication says, Christina will be paid a whopping $12.5 million (€9.6 million), which is actually less than what she made for season 3.

“[An] insider close to the negotiations said Aguilera made about $17 million [€13.9 million] when she was a coach on Season 3, which made her one of the highest paid women on reality TV,” The Wrap writes.

“The insider said she could earn a figure as high as that again, depending on the number of hours she appeared. (Believe it or not, Voice coaches are paid by the hour.),” the same e-zine says.
