CeeLo Green Quits ‘The Voice’ for His Own Show

CeeLo GreenCeeLo Green has quit the The Voice to host his own show.

The "Forget You" hitmaker has been a judge on the version of the singing contest on the first three series, before returning on the fifth series last year, but has now decided to step back to focus on other TV projects.

"I'm not coming back guys. I'm going to continue my relationship with NBC. I have a television show development deal with them as well and hopefully some other talk show opportunities for later in the year. But yeah, I'm going to miss The Voice too. So I'm not coming back guys," he said, speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Shocked by his revelation, Ellen replied, "Oh, you're not coming back at all? I did not know that!"

CeeLo is hoping to take some time to focus on his music and is excited about the release of his next album Girl Power, which is due out between February and March.

Usher and Shakira Join The Voice

Shakira and Usher

Usher and Shakira are set to replace Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green on The Voice. The pair were recruited to join the fourth season of the singing show after Christina decided to leave to spend time touring and promoting her new album Lotus while Cee Lo is working with NBC on a new show of his own. However, they will both return for season five.

"Doing two back-to-back cycles of this show requires a tremendous amount of time, and we are happy to accommodate the commitments made by Christina and Cee Lo. The participants on our show benefit from our coaches' expertise and their continued success in the music business allows for significant new contributions to the contestants when they return," said chairman of NBC Entertainment Robert Greenblatt.

Cee Lo Green: The X Factor Should Worry About The Voice

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Gossip,

Cee Lo GreenCee Lo Green thinks X Factor bosses should be "concerned" about The Voice.

The "Bright Lights Bigger City" hitmaker - who sits alongside Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton on the panel of the NBC talent show - isn't worried about the rival singing program going up against the series because he believes they are "completely different."

"The premises of each show are just completely different. I think if anybody should be concerned, it's them," he said when speaking on The Tonight Show.

Earlier in the current series of The Voice, the 37-year-old singer broke down in tears three times in an episode of the talent show during the emotional Battle round. Cee Lo was crushed while struggling to choose who to send through to the next round out of hopefuls Justin Hopkins and Tony Vincent, and he was also cried during rehearsal when one wannabe sang Cindy Lauper's "True Colors."

"This song moves people, that's what this song is doing right here. That song made me cry, man. I'm proud of you all, man. Wow, dude. OK man, OK I surrender. I don't sing like that. I can't help but be humbled by it. Final words of advice, live it, love it and just be in the moment," he said after the performance.


Gwyneth Paltrow and Cee Lo Green—Together—in New SNL Ads


Although we don't see Gwyneth Paltrow and Cee Lo Green singing together in these spots, it's clear -- especially to third wheel Jason Sudeikis -- that the two have chemistry.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Cee Lo Green to Do SNL, Duet Inevitable


UPDATE: Cee Lo has confirmed that he has recorded a new version of "F**k You" with Paltrow.

Late last month, singer Cee Lo Green teased that he and Gwyneth Paltrow -- who covered his song "Forget You" on an episode of Glee -- would collaborate on something "extra cool" in the future. Now, we have a better idea what that "surprise" is.

One day after (sorta) confirming a duet to Good Morning America's Robin Roberts (see the video above), it was officially announced that Gwyneth and Cee Lo would both be appearing on the January 15 broadcast of Saturday Night Live. (Their visits will come one week after Jim Carrey and The Black Keys share that NBC stage.)

Is it safe to say a joint musical number between Paltrow and Green is a foregone conclusion?

BTW -- if you want a preview of what Gwyneth's singing could look like that night, check out her musical performance on yesterday's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Spoilers, Video,


WARNING: The clip above is not the censored version.

Although we had to sit through a rerun of Glee last night, we’ve got some interesting scoop ’s upcoming appearance.

Of the three or four songs that Paltrow will be doing on the series, one of them will be a cover of Cee Lo Green’s “F**k You.”

That may be about as far away from “Country Strong” as you can get.
