Last week, we reported that Blake Shelton was “furious” with Christna Aguilera, due to the fact that the pop songstress replaced his girlfriend Gwen Stefani as one of the judge/coaches on The Voice.
Now, it seems the battle on set may be even more intense than previously thought, as Christina is reportedly pissed about a lucrative deal that was offered exclusively to Blake and Gwen.
“Blake and Gwen are getting an interesting offer from the show’s execs,” a source close to the show tells Radar Online.
“Producers want the two of them to give fans a full-on love-fest this season when she is a mentor on Team Blake, and they are going to throw in huge bonuses for exclusives, such as on-air duets, engagements, etc.”
The insider adds that “Christina is furious” over the arrangement, as she feels that Shelton and Stefani are receiving special treatment as a result of their high-profile relationship.
“Christina wants Gwen out of the picture and is already throwing mini-tantrums about it,” says the source.
“She said that Gwen is ‘not vocally talented’ and would not be on the show at all anymore if it was not for her relationship with Blake.”
Not surprisingly, Shelton isn’t exactly worried about what Christina things about his possible future wife, Gwen.
“Blake really does not care what Christina does or says,” the insider says.
“He is a completely different person now because of Gwen, so much more laid-back. He said that he’s grateful the show is the reason that he and Gwen found each other.”
We’re sure he’s also grateful for the tens of millions that the show has put in their pockets.
