Christina Aguilera - Exposed !
Christina Aguilera - Heading Back to Basics
In March 2006 Aguilera signed a contract with European cellphone operator Orange to represent the company and promote the new Sony Ericsson Walkman phones across Europe. In that month's issue of Rolling Stone magazine Aguilera revealed her plans on getting pregnant within the next months: "I've always wanted to be a young mother." She was featured in a Pepsi commercial alongside Arab singer Elissa in May.

Aguilera also posed nude for a Marilyn Monroe-inspired photoshoot for the May 2006 issue of GQ magazine, in which she was interviewed. She expressed disappointment in fellow singer Mariah Carey, saying, "She was never cool to me... to the point that one time we were at a party and I think she got really drunk, and she had just really derogatory things to say to me." Carey responded in a press release, "It is sad yet predictable that she would use my name at this time to reinvent past incidents for her promotional gain." Aguilera then stated, "My intentions were not to upset Mariah with any statements that were published or taken out of context. I have all the respect in the world for her."

Aguilera's third English studio album, Back to Basics, to be released in August 2006, is preceded by the single "Ain't No Other Man". She described the double-CD album as "a throwback to the 20s, 30s, and 40s-style jazz, blues, and feel-good soul music, but with a modern twist." Producers on the album include DJ Premier, Linda Perry, and Mark Ronson. With the new re-invention came another persona: Aguilera introduced "Baby Jane" in her "Ain't No Other Man" music video. Unlike her previous Stripped alias, "Xtina", Baby Jane derives from the Bette Davis film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? On Total Request Live Aguilera said her dancers gave her the name.

Aguilera is current talks to sing the lead song on Outkast's new film project, Idlewild. The song which would also appear on Christina's Double LP, has been described as sassy, modern, and bold. DJ premiere who also co-produced Ain't No Other Man lended his production skills once again. Aguilera, with no prior film roles, will lend her music and herself as she will cameo in the film. Early buzz on the film is expected to be a critical acclaim, the song is being considered for a Golden Globe and Academy Award contender.

At MTV Movie Awards, where Aguilera performed her new single, the singer revealed that Back to Basics would in fact include two distinct discs.
"The first half of the album is kind of a throwback with elements of jazz, blues and soul music combined with a modern-day twist, like hard-hitting beats," the singer explained.

And for the second disc, "We creatively went into our own zone and our own world together," Aguilera said of her work with Perry. "There are no cover songs, so we made more of a '20s, '30s vibe with an authentic and organic twist. There are no samples — it's all live music. One of the songs sounds like you entered a 1920s burlesque club, another song sounds like it was actually recorded in the 1920s, using a vintage microphone, so it's exciting stuff."

The double-album is due August 15, nearly four years after Aguilera's last LP, Stripped.

"I definitely take my time, so I do come with a lot more to say about what's going on in my life so it's meaningful to me and to my fans," Aguilera explained of the gap. "I always try to come back with something new and try to evolve as an artist and as a visionary. I can't wait to see the reaction."

Seeing that reaction is exactly the reason Aguilera wanted to debut her new single, "Ain't No Other Man," at the MTV Movie Awards (see "MTV Movie Awards: Will Ferrell Freaks Out; Jessica Simpson Dusts Off Daisy Dukes"). "The last time I performed at a Movie Awards show was for 'Lady Marmalade,' and that was so much fun," she said.

As for the new song, "I wanted to make it light and easy for people to dance to and sing along to, so the whole song is based on feel-good elements of soul and blues and jazz," she said. "Lyrically, I just got married, so it's about someone in particular, but it's all about feeling good and not taking anything too seriously."

  Britney Spears New Look - Old, Black & Fat !
No More Blonde Teen Idol ! Britney Spears New Look is Old, Black & Fat ! BRITNEY Spears' hubby Kevin Federline might be getting a few more black looks now since the pop mum has painted over her blonde locks.

The 24-year-old Toxic singer was spotted out and about with her security team in New York with baby son Sean Preston sporting a new black hairdo, according to TMZ.com.
The site reported Britney and Kevin had been touring the Big Apple for the last few days so that Kevin could attend his own publicity commitments.

National Ledger website reported there were "apparently no near baby dropping incidents".

The site added pregnant Britney's last trip to New York was the well-documented near drop of Sean.

It has been a spectacular fall from grace for the pop superstar who, six years ago, ruled the music scene.

Claims that Britney Spears was planning to have her next baby in Namibia proved to be a hoax. The rumours suggested Britney was planning to copy Angelina Jolie and give birth in the southern African country.

It all started after someone claiming to represent Britney Spears called Namibia's Deputy Environment and Tourism Minister, Leon Jooste.

He explained: "She has shown interest to come over to Namibia.

"Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there is a definite possibility of that happening."

Jooste added: "Britney wants to come in very low profile and have some privacy. She might change her mind if we reveal too much now."

However, a spokesperson for the mum-of-one said: "There is no truth in this."

Britney already has one child, 9-month-old Sean, with 28-year-old husband Kevin Federline.

The couple is expecting their second baby in September.

Last week, the singer revealed that her marriage is "awesome" - but admitted she is an "emotional wreck".

She opened her heart about her allegedly failing marriage in an interview on US TV.

The star admitted she finds the constant rumours about the demise of her marriage "sad" because she "thinks everyone should be pro-love".

Meanwhile, Federline has reportedly told his wife to sack her new bodyguard - because he fears the pair are getting too close.

Kevin has told his spouse he doesn't want her to employ Perry Taylor, a 28-year-old US Naval Academy graduate, anymore because he is worried he will come between them.

The aspiring rapper is said to have been unhappy after seeing photographs of Perry carrying his 9-month-old son and pushing him along in a stroller while out shopping.

A source said: "Kevin didn't like seeing Perry holding his son while out with Britney. He instructed her to drop him before their reunion to get their marriage back on track.

"Kevin was uncomfortable with Perry being so close to Britney and his son. He felt she was trying to taunt him."

Perry has now reportedly been told by Britney he will now only be employed on an hourly basis when he is needed.

Most recently, Britney revealed her son likes her to perform sexy dance routines for him.

The singer, famed for her raunchy dance moves in her videos, says Sean goes ga-ga when she struts her stuff in front of him.

She said: "When my son sees me dance, he lights up."

Sorry to say Britney, But with your curent shape he's probably the only one that lights up over your moves these days !  ¶ 9:29 AM 0 comments

Regarding children, Alba has stated:

"I'm really girly when it comes to kids. I've been surrounded by kids my whole life because I'm the oldest of 15 cousins — I've been changing diapers since I was six. I want to have a couple, for sure".
Alba announced on the UK teen website "Teen Today" in 2005, prior to the birth of her brother's child, that she was beginning a children's clothing line:

"About four of my girlfriends have babies so they have no time for me. I figure if I can do baby clothes maybe they'll have more time to hang out!"

She is a self-professed animal lover (although she dislikes reptiles and rodents). She also revealed that she "hates cats" in an interview with Conan O'Brien in 2001.

She is an enviromentalist, and owns a Lexus hybrid. She has also bought her parents a Toyota Prius.


Jessica Alba - Religion :
During an interview with GQ magazine, Alba said that in her teen years she became a born-again Christian in a rebellion against her parents but told Access Hollywood that she abandoned this because "a lot of people gave me a lot of grief for just being a woman and made me feel ashamed for having a body because it 'tempted men'".

As the daughter of conservative parents, Alba, whose grandparents did not even allow her to wear a bathing suit around the house, maintains a no-nudity clause in her contract, though she has claimed she had been willing to be nude in Sin City. She remarked of a GQ shoot in which she was scantily-clad:

"They didn't want me to wear the granny panties, but I said, 'If I'm gonna be topless I need to wear granny panties".
