Looks like Gwen Stefani will be joining the cast of “The Voice” replacing Christina Aguilera as a judge for Season 7, which starts taping this summer.
TMZ is reporting that the No Doubt star will be taking over Christina’s spinning chair after Aguilera announced that she is pregnant with her second child. The report also says Christina was going to try and stay on the show even though she will be ready to give birth to her second child while the show is taping. Ultimately, she decided to bow out paving the way for Stefani who recently gave birth to her third son.
A source who works on the show also told TMZ that Christina would be back for season 8 of the hit NBC show.

NBC announced that Pharrell Williams will be joining season 7, replacing Cee Lo Green after Green announced he would not return for the show’s current season.
NBC has yet to comment on the report.
