ADAM LEVINE just called CHRISTINA AGUILERA a “pain in the ass” in his latest interview with talk show host Conan O’ Brien. But he actually says this with love.

When asked about his obvious friction with Christina on ‘The Voice’, Adam tells Conan:

“She’s a pain in the ass.”

He then goes on to add:

“But she’s my pain in the ass. I love her.”

Adam immediately squashes the rumors that he and Christina aren’t on good terms, or those pesky Hollywood rumors that she’s a diva on set:

“No, she’s great… We love her, she’s super talented. We’re all pains in the asses!”

Good to know!

Do you guys think the squabbling that goes on between fellow judges Adam and Christina—which is reminiscent of Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul’s constant bickering in the earlier seasons of ‘American Idol’—is real? Or is it just all in good fun?
