[ART] 'FOCUS' FAN ART BY: CUPTOW555

Painting Description:

I started with the intention of strictly copying the photograph of Christina Aguilera, but quickly let go and tried to add a more painterly feel. I also wanted to make the eye focus immediately to Christina's Face and eyes. Afterwards, hopefully your eye will move around the edges of painting.

Anyways I spent FOREVER on this one. I would say at least 50 hours total?

I really got extremely detailed with this painting. I made it a HUGE file and was zooming in quite a bit. The smudge tool is my best friend.

I need to learn some kind of hand exercises so I don't freaking get carpal tunnel or arthritis or something. My hands hurts SO BAD after this painting.

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' TO AIR AFTER THE SUPERBOWL NEXT YEAR

NBC will air The Voice after the Super Bowl in February.

An hourlong episode will air Sunday, Feb. 5 following the network's telecast of Super Bowl XLVI, Bob Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment announced Tuesday.

“There is no better showcase on television than to follow the Super Bowl, and we believe The Voice is deserving of such high-profile exposure,” said Greenblatt in a statement. “The attention grabbing blind audition phase of ‘The Voice’ has mass appeal and will fittingly team up with the biggest sporting event of the year.”

It hasn't been determined whether the episode will be the season premiere.

The Voice is the 2010-11 season's top freshman series in the key adults 18-49 demographic, ranking behind American Idol among new and returning series on all broadcast networks. Season-to-date, the music competition series averages a 5.4 rating and 12 million viewers.

The Mark Burnett-produced series airs its last "battle round" episode Tuesday night before diving into the live rounds. NBC has slated the second round of The Voice for midseason as a two-hour lead-in to Smash, a drama about the making of a Broadway musical, on Monday nights.

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' CONTESTANT, JAVIER COLON, REVEALS WHY HE PICKED ADAM OVER CHRISTINA

[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]

Javier Colon, a favorite to win NBC's hit talent show 'The Voice,' visited my talk show to explain just what it's like to work with a huge star like Adam Levine and gives his reasons for picking the Maroon 5 singer over vocal powerhouse Christina Aguilera.

"I picked Adam because in this competition where your coaches keep you on the show you want to go with somebody that's really enthusiastic and passionate about what you did on stage," Javier tells me. "If you watch the episode he was jumping up and down in his chair and enthusiastic about what I did. I really felt he would be a great coach and so far he's been amazing."

Christina also wanted Javier to join her team, but just because he went with Adam doesn't mean he has anything but love for her.

"She's amazing. Such an amazing voice. They're all hella-talented. I would've been happy with all of them," Javier tells me adding that Christina is as sober as a preacher on Sunday on the set. "She's very sweet. She always has wonderful nice things to say to me."

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' CONTESTANT, REBECCA LOEBE, REVEALS WHY SHE PICKED ADAM OVER CHRISTINA

[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]

Why did you pick Adam over Christina as your mentor?

"I could have spent ten years debating that. I take a long time making decisions usually and, unfortunately, I only had ten seconds. All I really had to go on in that moment was this feeling in my gut that told me that if I got to spend ten minutes alone in a room with someone in the entertainment industry, I would like for it to be someone who has launched their career by writing their own music, because that's a part of what I do that's incredibly important to me... Even though Christina has been involved in her song writing in recent years, that's not what launched her career. Whereas, with Adam Levine, that's 100% of what launched his career. But, I will be very honest and say that if I didn't know any of that in the moment I was making my decision, if I was just basing it on the energy that each coach was giving me during my performance and in their follow-up comments, I would have gone with Christina. She was giving me the most beautiful, nurturing, warm energy that I have possibly ever received from somebody while I was singing."

Christina Aguilera and her 3-year-old son, Max, head to a dentist’s appointment on Friday (May 27) in Los Angeles.

The two were joined by the 30-year-old singer’s boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, who carried Max on the way out.

The night before, Christina dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live where she revealed she’s a “huge gamer.”

“[I like] board games, arcade games … I have a mini arcade in my house, but it’s like old school. Like Donkey Kong and Mario,” she revealed.

“I hold the record for all of them so everyone that has a little gamer in them tries to come over and beat my score and I get a little competitive,” she added.

[NEWS] ROLLING STONE: 'THE VOICE': IDOL'S WILD CHILD

It's safe to say that The Voice has gotten off to a roaring start. It's the top-rated new series in the coveted 18-to-49 demographic, and it's no wonder NBC is expanding it to two-hour live episodes in June. Everybody expected a flimsy American Idol knock-off. But instead, The Voice has turned out to be a brilliant surprise. The ingenious team format pumped new life into the singing-contest formula, from the blind auditions to the cage-match sing-off duets. It has the excitement and sparkle of a true pop event.

It's easy to explain why The Voice exists: The logic went that with the Idol franchise about to bomb, America would need a new singing competition to fill the void. We would need starry-*eyed kids belting their favorite Beyoncé jams. We would need celebrity coaches like Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Maroon 5's Adam Levine. We would need hopes and dreams and redemption stories. Most of all, we would need Carson Daly.

As it turned out, Idol came back strong, rising from the grave like a pitchiness-hating Godzilla. But it doesn't matter, because The Voice has its own style. It's big on flash, from Cee Lo sporting a Misfits T-shirt to Aguilera wearing what appears to be a Dollywood souvenir wig. Yet the coaches take the vocals seriously. The format forces them to act as real judges, giving criticism during rehearsals and eliminating singers from their own team. That's quite a switch from Idol, where the new regime is committed to positivity at all costs. Steven Tyler would turn down a blow job from a unicorn before he'd tell contestants they can't sing.

The Voice has lots of singers who fit the Idol mold of young, innocent ingénues with psycho stage moms. But it also has long-suffering adult pros, with a whiff of thirtysomething despair in their voices. That adds an edge of realness. Some are already bitter and frustrated lifers, like the Minnesota bar-band vet Tim Mahoney, who called himself "the king of almost." Can you imagine any of the apple-cheeked Idol kids talking that way?

The coaches are refreshingly unimpressed by the usual pushy reality-TV clowns. When Frenchie and Tarralyn had their sing-off duet, tackling Beyoncé's "Single Ladies," Tarralyn attempted to sabotage her partner by taking off from the rehearsed arrangement. It was a camera-hog stunt, worthy of The Real Housewives – yet most viewers probably assumed it would work (I sure did). So it was a welcome surprise when Aguilera chose Frenchie, going for the vocal chops instead of letting herself get intimidated by the "at least she makes good TV" principle.

The breakout star is clearly Adam Levine. He's the droll pop smoothie with the arched eyebrow and the bulletproof hair, the one Aguilera warns is "a little bit of a wheeler-*dealer-shmealer." Who knew this guy was so funny? During the blind auditions, he mistook contestant Mahoney for a female singer. "I thought you were a chick," he said. "I need a woman for my team, and, sadly, you have a penis." (Cue a gratuitous reaction shot of Aguilera. Tasteful!)

The real shocker here is Christina Aguilera – who has never been the most likable star on the block, which is why pop fans take sadistic pleasure in watching her crash and burn, whether she's stripping with Cher in Burlesque or disemboweling the national anthem at the Super Bowl. But she's pouncing on the opportunity to remodel herself as a full-fledged human being, the way J.Lo did on Idol. She even made a joke about her Super Bowl debacle. "Don't worry about the words," she told her team during rehearsals. "I never worry about the words." That's right – a self-deprecating quip from Xtina! Whoever thought we'd witness such a thing? Maybe she can call her next album Sadly, You Have a Penis?

There are other shows out there trying to fill the American Idol void that wasn't – most notably Bravo's Platinum Hit, featuring the odd but entertaining duo of Jewel and Kara Dio*Guardi. It's always nice to see aspiring songwriters get tips from the pros, especially if Jewel starts giving them advice along the lines of "You know what this song needs? A line about cooking eggs and cracking the yolk to make a smiley face!" No doubt there will be a lot more, but for right now, The Voice is on top.

[PHOTOS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA SIGNING FOR FANS AT JIMMY KIMMEL

Right before Christina entered the Jimmy Kimmel studio, Christina was greeted by a group of adoring fans. When she finally arrived the fans were surprisingly calm at wanting to get Christina's attention and autograph. There were fans from all over the world waiting for her outside. There were two girls in particular who came all the way from Germany to come catch a glimpse of Christina, and to their surprise she signed autographs... what a lucky bunch?

[NEWS] SCOTT STORCH BACK IN THE STUDIO WITH CHRISTINA AGUILERA

Despite the critical and commercial failure of Christina Aguilera's 2010 effort, Bionic, RumorFix has learned exclusively that the singer is already heading back to the studio.

Over the weekend, one of our photographers caught up with producer Scott Storch who broke the news. "I'm focusing my energy on Christina Aguilera right now. We did an album once before and it did very well. It's time to do it again!"

Storch who produced Aguilera's hit song, "Fighter," also had something to say about critics who've been panning Aguilera's recent weight gain. "I think she's look gorgeous. I like my girls a little thick. Who wants a little anorexic, bulemic girl?"

No word on when the project is expected to drop, but hopefully Storch can help Aguilera find her signature sound and revive her music career.
