Christina Aguilera has officially won her swivel seat back!!

Shakira unfortunately will not be returning to The Voice next season, as prior speculations have now been confirmed by both the Colombian singer herself as well as host Carson Daly.

The reason? As we could imagine, Shakira has had a hard time balancing her coaching and her new-born babe, but admits that while her baby is obvi a priority, leaving The Voice was not an easy decision for her to make.

She explained her choice, saying:

Well, this is going to hinder plans to get a bun in the oven!

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton have a bumpy ride ahead on the road of love.

While most consider summer to be the appropriate time to relax and bask in the sun, both country crooners are BURIED in work commitments for the next few months and the long bouts apart are notihng new!

Until the fall, they will be separated for AT LEAST 71 days because The Voice judge is scheduled for a hefty 153 commitments until he ends his Ten Times Crazier tour in early October.

Thankfully though, these long bouts spent apart are nothing they haven't endured before.

In fact, the power couple spent only 4 months together in their first year of marriage two years ago.

Blake dished:

Some of the massive appeals of The Voice are the incredible talent that we’ve seen as well as the live performances that come out of the show!!

Live performance-wise, last night, Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, & T.I. brought their musical mastery together on The Voice stage to show the contestants how it’s done!

And they set a GREAT example!!!

The three artists performed Robin Thicke's song, Blurred Lines, and they killed it!!! Lucky for us, this time the video wasn't banned, LOLz!!

Check out the awesome performance!! (above)

Maybe she just missed feuding with Adam Levine??

Or maybe someone got a little jelly with another lady filling her seat!

Whatever the reason, it sounds like Christina Aguilera is headed home to her spinning chair on The Voice!

After leaving the show to promote her newest album, Lotus, it seems that Xtina realized her music wasn't doing so well just couldn't stay away. Now, Shakira will apparently be getting the boot to make way for Christina's big blonde mane and bangin' bod!

Bummer! We've adored Shakira's spicy and sassy Colombian edge! She was super cute AND had good advice to give!

Still, we guess the network can't really ignore the fact that a lot of viewers used to turn in just to see how high Xtina's cleavage would be pushed up! (Sometimes, she was legit defying gravity!)

Shakira will wrap up season 4 on June 18th with Christina apparently returning to the show in the fall.

No word on if Usher will last another season or not.

Who do U want to see on the judging panel next season?

Even Shakira had body issues while pregnant!

The Voice coach opened up to Ellen DeGeneres about how awkward she felt giving birth! She says:

"I looked like a Shar-Pei when I first delivered."

Aww! Don't get down on yourself, gurl!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to hear what Shakira thought her baby looked like!

And wait until you see the AMAZING gift Ellen has for little Milan!

Mmm, we'd like to cover him in our ink!!

Adam Levine is more than just a pretty face and a sweet set of pipes; he's quickly becoming a behind-the-scenes TV mogul!!

The Maroon 5 frontman and his manager signed a one-year first-look development deal with NBC!! They plan to focus on scripted and alternative programming and develop projects to serve as new series and specials for the network.

Woot woot!!

Paul Telegdy, NBC's president of alternative and late night programming, admitted:

The coaches on NBC’s The Voice seem like such a happy bunch!

Adam Levine, Shakira, Usher, and Blake Shelton hit up the Grove in Los Angeles yesterday evening to film an appearance for E! News’ Extra. Interviewed by the show’s hosts Mario Lopez and Carson Daly, the coaches and interviewers cracked some jokes and laughed it up while fans gathered around to watch!

Ch-ch-check out the photos (below) for a better look!

We love seeing the four Voice coaches getting along, especially given all the feuds taking place on other singing competition shows — ahem, American Idol. But given Cee Lo Green's return to the show this week, we wonder if and how the tables will turn.

Not that we're worried…
