‘The Voice Australia’ Coach Jessie J Wants to Meet the Madden Brothers’ Wives, Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz
“The Voice Australia” incoming coach Jessie J has one goal in mind: She wants to meet the Madden Brothers’ significant others. The British pop star admitted she would like to meet Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz, and would even ask Cameron to be her guest mentor in the show.
Jessie was just recently announced to join the 2015 series of the reality competition show, and apart from discovering Aussie talents, she’s also keen on meeting the wives of her fellow coaches Joel and Benji Madden, who are taking the double chair as a pair judge.
“I want to meet Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz, that is my goal. They just have to be there at some point, right?” Jessie, 26, said to News Limited, referring to Joel and Benji’s wives respectively.
And as the coaches are expected to ask another celebrity, normally another performer, to be the mentor for their talents, Jessie already has someone in mind. “I want Cameron as my guest mentor. Whenever someone asks who you would want to play you in a film I always say Cameron,” she explained her unusual choice.
Cameron, 42, isn’t what one would call a singer, although she did a good job in the musical film “Annie,” so Jessie might be onto something here. It’s unlikely the actress would be joining her team, though, since she has to support Benji, whom she just married on January 5.
Jessie was also a coach in the UK version of “The Voice” from 2012 to 2013, but it’s her first time to sit on the red chair in the Australian edition. She admitted that she would like to have a bigger presence in the country, hoping that her upcoming tour in March would boost the sales of her third album “Sweet Talker.”
She is joining the Madden Brothers, Ricky Martin and Delta Goodrem on the coaches’ panel when the show kicks off this year. Delta has been with the show since its launch in 2012, but took a rest in 2014 to coach “The Voice Kids.”
