Christina Aguilera will be hosting a New Year’s Eve party at Tao Las Vegas. Tickets to the singer/actress’ party are currently being sold at $150 per person. The package includes entry into the nightclub, open bar and hors d’oeuvres from 9-11 PM and a champagne toast at midnight. I wonder whether Christina will be performing at the party or will just act like a host or a guest. She better perform. At $150 a pop, just plain old drinks and nibble wouldn’t be enough and I don’t care about who else could be attending the party. So who’s going to that?
Heroes star Kristen Bell is to play Christina Aguilera’s rival in musical Burlesque.
The movie already has Aguilera, 28, signed up to play an ambitious small-time girl who has a big voice and finds love and success in an neo-burlesque club in LA.
Bell, 29, who played the role of Elle in the US drama, has now been signed up to star as Aguilera’s rival Nikki, the lead dancer at the club who spirals out of control when Aguilera’s character gets the spotlight.
Singer Cher will play the nightclub owner and Stanley Tucci will star as the man who helps to turn Aguilera’s character into a star.
Filming is scheduled to start on November 9 and a release is aimed for Thanksgiving 2010.
There have been some rumors going all around the internet that Barbie was coming out with a doll resembling Christina Aguilera. Unfortunately for all of you fans out there, a Mattel spokesperson has thwarted the rumors saying “There is no Barbie coming out resembling Christina Aguilera; however, there have been Barbie fashions in the past that were inspired by celebrities.” Considering the fashions that Christina has been recently sporting, they might as well have just come out with a Lady Gaga Barbie. It’s a good thing though that the folks at Mattel didn’t get any inspiration from Christina’s fashion during her dirty days.
Christina Aguilera blew a kiss at a bottle of her new fragrance ‘Inspire’ at the Glendale Galleria in Los Angeles last week. The scent is a mix of fruity scents – mango, citrus and freesia – with floral inspirations of tuberose, gardenia, rose and sandalwood. The 27-year old singer recently dished to OK! magazine that she would love to add to her family saying “We [me and husband Jordan Bratman] definitely want to have another child. Having Max has been an amazing experience. He surprises me every day. In a year, he has grown so much, now he crawls and is starting to walk.”
Christina Aguilera got an unusual Mother’s Day gift this year. Her husband Jordan Bratman apparently gave the powerhouse singer a Stephen Webster locket containing a drop of blood to celebrate her first Mother’s Day with their son Max. The locket is said to be one of her favorite accessories. It consists of a ruby hear with a diamond sword going through it, and a small drop of blood. The inside opens up to a photo of Max. In an interview with InStyle, the singer doesn’t reveal whose blood it is but does say “I love the symbolism of the blood droplet. It’s like Max pierced my heart.
Christina Aguilera, in cooperation with P&G Prestige Products, is set to debut a new fragrance called ‘Inspire’ on September 1. The 27-year old powerhouse singer has set aside her music career to focus more on being a new mother and on her other ventures. According to WWD, “Inspire is a fragrance for women, which opens with fruity notes of mango, citrus and freesia, with accentuated tuberose, accompanied by white rose and gardenia in the heart. Accords of orange blossom from Valencia, sandalwood and musk are added on top of the white bouquet… Aguilera announces that the most highlighted note is seductive tuberose, with freesia and musk, and it seems to her that these notes remind of tones in perfumes for men.”
It looks like there Ain’t No Other Man in Christina Aguilera´s life apart from her son Max.
The singer has ditched her Dirrty image and gone Back To Basics by covering up her cleavage and sporting a heart pendant with the inscription Super Maman – the French word for mother – on it.
New parents Xtina and hubby Jordan Bratman were snapped leaving the Villa Lounge after an evening out in LA.
Baby Max was born back in January, just one day after fellow A-lister Nicole Richie welcomed daughter Harlow Winter into the world.
Either people have gotten sick of seeing babies on magazine covers or no one cares for Christina Aguilera’s baby. The People magazine issue which features the singer and her son Max has proven to be a dud as the issue is only expected to sell 1.3 million copies. The average weekly sales for the magazine is 1.4 million.
However, the mag doesn’t likely see the underperformance as a loss even though they paid $2 million for the pictures. An industry insider says that “They probably do it to keep someone else from getting their hands on it and to preserve their reputation that they always get the best on weddings and babies.”
Now that Christina has come out with her pregnancy, she’s rocking the bump for all the world to see. And what better way to rock than showing up at the nationwide launch of Rock the Vote 2008? The event was held on Tuesday at Kitson in Beverly Hills.
And just because she’s pregnant doesn’t mean she has to look frumpy. Christina wore fashionable Christian Louboutin shoes. As to why she was there, she said “It’s important for me to come out and support such a cause that has encouraged so many young people to get out there and register to vote. We all have different issues that are important to us; different things that contribute to our daily lives that we should all get out there and encourage to have an opinion on. There’s power in numbers so it’s important to get the word out as much as possible.”
Christina Aguilera has finally confirmed reports she is expecting a baby with husband Jordan Bratman. The singer has previously refused to comment on the status of her bulging belly, despite her father Fausto Aguilera and her pal Paris Hilton letting slip about the 26-year-old’s happy news earlier this year. Hey like why does she have to confirm the known and the obvious to the world now? Tell you guys, don’t get me wrong on this or anything but I think she has been paid something quite handsome to come out and confirm something she hasn’t done before about her pregnancy. Glamour must have put up a nice deal for her to speak exclusively to them. I am not going to go out and criticize her for what she has done. It’s her baby, her life and her will as when she wants to speak about a particular thing and what she doesn’t want to, it’s entirely her decision. Now there’s one more singer – Jennifer Lopez who is hiding the truth about her pregnancy, let’s see when she decides to speak.
Christina Aguilera is looking huge these days as the powerhouse singer showed off her increasing bust line and growing baby bump when she was spotted out for dinner with her husband Jordan Bratman on Thursday night. They ate at Toscana Italian restaurant in Brentwood, California.
Christina will be performing ‘Steppin’ Out’ at the Emmy’s with they legendary Tony Bennet. Executive producer Ken Ehrlic said to OK! magazine “We’re sensitive to the pregnancy, but I can’t wait for her to sing.”
A coalition of singers, music companies and industry groups stated that they will want from radios compensation of performers, whose music is played on the radio.
The music FIRST coalition that includes artists such as Christina Aguilera, Wyclef Jean, Don Henley and Celine Dion intends to lobby Congress to create new laws organizing payments by broadcasters.
The coalition representatives said that every singer from superstar vocalists to background singers deserve to be paid for their work and the right to air their songs on the radio.
“The artists and the musicians and the community in general has come together to say now is really time to make sure that when music is played on the radio, that people who perform that music are paid fairly to do it”, Mark Kadish, the coalition’s executive director, said during a conference call with reporters.
Previous attempts to change the law met with a failure. The coalition told that it’s too early to say what the payment should be.
The National Association of Broadcasters, which represents more than 8,000 radio and television stations, is vowing to fight the campaign, saying royalties for performers amount to a tax on U.S. radio stations.
“Congress has long recognized that radio airplay of music generates millions of dollars in revenue for record labels and artists”, Dennis Wharton, the broadcasters group’s executive vice president, said in a statement.
“Were it not for radio’s free promotional airplay of music on stations all over America, most successful recording artists would still be playing in a garage”, he said.
Martha Reeves of the 1960s group Martha & the Vandellas said that the success of singers doesn’t necessarily depends on playing the songs on radio.
“I might have music that’s as old as 25 years now being played daily, and that doesn’t mean someone is going to go out and buy my CD or my record”, Reeves said.
Radio broadcasters, however, are required to pay performers only if their songs are played on the Internet during simulcasts or streaming.
Now it’s up to the Congress to decide whether to change the law or leave the things as before.
