14 DAY TRIAL // The second season of NBC's The Voice has only recently begun, but reports are already talking over the tabloids about how producers are growing tired of Christina Aguilera and her diva demands. The latest says the same, adding that she usually shows up a bloated, hungover mess for the tapings.
That the once-lithe singer is now a curvier woman is no longer a secret. Neither is the fact that the tabloids believe her weight gain is down to boozing and excessive partying.
The latest print issue of InTouch Weekly (story via here) takes this angle and runs with it: Aguilera is a mess on the set, requires an army of people to make her look acceptable and everyone is sort of growing tired of her.
Far from curbing her partying, Aguilera even shows up on set for tapings after a night of heavy partying – and then expects the world to turn upside down to make her look ok, the mag claims, citing inside sources.
“She’s even shown up on set looking bloated and hungover,” says one such spy.
When this happens, Christina doesn't apologize but rather ups her diva demands, forcing makeup and wardrobe people to do the impossible and “transform her into her old self.”
“It takes a lot of work to get her camera-ready,” says the unnamed tipster. “They want her to look credible.”
It's not just her appearance that stands to suffer from her prolonged partying, the report further argues. She's also been acting very weird this past season.
There are times on set when the singer simply seems to space out, which has forced producers to feed her her lines to avoid some sort of embarrassment in the live shows.
“One might expect Christina to be thankful for the second shot at success she’s been afforded by The Voice, especially after her last album, Bionic, tanked. But she seems to believe the show is lucky to have her!” InTouch writes.
Producers are growing tired of this kind of diva behavior.
“She’s a disaster. They have to work hard to keep her on track,” says the spy.
