Who does Christina Aguilera think she is, Bruno Tonioli? The Voice judge can’t seem to hold back the risque comments. She’s now asked country singer Patrick Thomas, who is 20, to take his pants off three times. It first happened earlier in the season, when the pop star asked Thomas to remove his cowboy hat before following up a compliment about his good lucks and the request, “Can you take your pants off?” She repeated her drop-trou-desire twice on Tuesday after he sang Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance.” “You’re a cutie pie,” she told him during the live show. “I’m still waiting for you to take your pants off.” Singer Christina Aguilera, currently enjoying success as one of the musical mentors on the NBC’s hit competition show, “The Voice,” is known for many things: her powerhouse pipes, outspoken personality, flubbing the lines of the National Anthem at the Superbowl (get over it, people!) and lately, her not-so-fabulous style.

The venue of the fast was shifted to Raj Ghat after Anna Hazare wasn't allowed to protest at Jantar Mantar. But, Anna supporters at Raj Ghat are excited about the protest. "It was difficult to make preparations at last minute after venue changed as we have already sent the SMS. But the media helped a lot. Anna and Arvind Kejriwal are motivations, I like the way Anna speaks," said a volunteer. Top MHA officials and Delhi's Police commissioner BK Gupta are personally reviewing security arrangements at Raj Ghat. Security has been stepped up around the area and entry is being restricted
