If you are anything like me you are sick to death of all the "American Idol" and "X-Factor" judges gossip. Well NBC has made it easy on all of us.

Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will NOT return to "The Voice" for Season Four, which will premiere next spring. Christina is releasing a new album and going out on tour while Cee Lo is working on two albums, and is developing an NBC sitcom based on his life.

Unlike "American Idol" and "X Factor", "The Voice" has immediately named their replacements and they're huge. Shakira will take Christina's seat, and Usher will take Cee Lo's chair.

Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will be back for the spring season although they could take some time off the following season.  For now, Christina and Cee Lo are expected to return for Season Five next fall.

NBC has said they're "happy to accommodate" the career commitments of "The Voice" coaches and that the original four coaches will have "chairs for life" on the show.
