The new issue of Rolling Stone goes inside the friendly battle of the sexes on The Voice, and the coaches, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton, open up about how they really feel about each other. “Just look at the four of us,” Levine says. “It’s just so wrong and so amazing.”

Although the coaches spend a lot of time teasing each other, Levine admits he’s jealous of Shelton’s cowboy cool. “Blake can say anything or do anything,” Levine says. “If I was like, ‘I’m drunk at 4:00!’ I’d be attacked. He’s like, ‘It’s cool, f*ck you, I just shot a f*cking moose, kiss my ass!’ He can say whatever he wants.”

“You have to be a pretty strong girl to stay up in the mix with the guys,” Aguilera says. “It’s a lot. It’s a crazy locker-room kind of situation.” In response, Levine turns to Aguilera and says, “I honestly just recently started realizing that you’re surrounded by three dudes all the time, and that has to be something of a pain in the ass.” But they’ve made some concessions: “We stopped farting in front of her!”

Christina Aguilera stepped out (with Adam Levine, and his model-girlfriend, Anne Vyalitsyna) in Pasadena to promote ‘The Voice’ at NBC’s 2012 line-up party.

Even though Christina looks a little heavier than she normally does, I think she looks not too bad. Christina recently opened up to PEOPLE about loving her curves.

Christina Aguilera knows what it takes to stand tall in the glare of the spotlight.

“You got to be a strong, powerful, very confident woman,” she told PEOPLE at a Television Critics Association event for The Voice, which returns to NBC Feb. 5 after the Super Bowl.

The mentor, who coached Beverly McClellan to the show’s first season finale, says that it’s especially difficult for women in the entertainment business.

“Women, we are definitely under a microscope and under massive scrutiny,” Aguilera, 31, said. “As long as I am happy in my own skin, that is all that is all the confirmation I need.”

But, she adds, it’s nice to have approval of the one she loves, including her beau, Matt Rutler. “I have a boyfriend that loves my body,” she says. “I love my body, my son is healthy and happy and that is all that matters.”

Her message of “being comfortable in my own skin” and taking risks “whether it be crazy cotton candy hair or interesting theatrical makeup” is something Aguilera wants to pass on to her upcoming protégés on season 2 of The Voice.

“Being in a position to coach these young women, I am happy to be able to share that with them and share my highs and lows,” she says. “Being on the show, it’s a very good outlet for me.”

Well good for her! PS: Adam and his girlfriend make a hot couple!

‘Maroon Five’ frontman Adam Levine poses naked with his model girlfriend, Anne V, for Russian Vogues’ November 2011 cover. In the magazine, the couple were locked in a half naked embrace.

In the September issue of OUT, cover star Adam Levine talks frankly about the way his family responded to his younger brother when he came out. “I can single-handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality I acquired. Trust me, you’re born with it. My brother is gay, and we knew when he was two,” he told interviewer Shana Naomi Krochmal. “We all really wanted to provide some cushion for him and constantly let him know that it’s OK.”

The musician, a coach on NBC’s wildly-successful The Voice, was scathing of families who try to change a gay child. “A lot of people don’t want their kid to be gay and will fight it all costs, but I’ve got news for you—it’s a losing f***ing battle,” he said. “You’ve got to embrace it from the beginning. That’s the only way to deal with it as a family. Otherwise you’re just screwing yourself over, and you’re going to make your kid miserable.”

Levine also contrasted the way his NBC show, The Voice, encourages gay contestants to be honest and out compared to rival show, American Idol, on Fox, which famously discouraged Adam Lambert from discussing his sexuality until after the finale. “What’s always pissed me off about Idol is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken,” he said, adding, “C’mon. You can’t be publically gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can’t hide basic components of these people’s lives. The fact that The Voice didn’t have any qualms about being completely about it is a great thing.”

According to US Weekly, all four coaches from The Voice are returning for season 2!

Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green and Blake Shelton — have signed on for season two of the NBC smash, a source confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

Aguilera “is very excited” for the next season, an insider close to the singer, 30, tells Us. “It has been an amazing experience for her!” A rep for Green told Us the “Forget You” singer is indeed returning.

(Reps for Levine and Shelton had no comment.)

On Wednesday’s season one finale of the blockbuster singing competition, Javier Colon was crowned the winner after ten weeks of competition. Mentored by Adam Levine, the father of two and Stratford, Conn. native beat out fellow finalist Dia Frampton by just two percent of the vote to win $100,000 and a recording contract.

Season two of The Voice gets underway in early 2012.

You know, I reeeeeaallly gave this show a try. I just thought it was incredibly boring! I liked the audition process (which I usually do on any show) but once the eliminations started happening – the show just got so boring! I didn’t care about any of the contestants, and I didn’t even think they were all that talented!

Did you stick with it? What did you think?
