Christina Aguilera and her hubby Jordan Bratman went out for a bite to eat at Osteria Mozza this past Sunday in West Hollywood.
Christina and Jordan had a backyard celebration at their home for their son Max’s first birthday last week. Little Max turned one year old on January 12th. The theme of the party was inspired by the children’s storybook, “Where the Wild Things Are.”
Among the 40 or so guests were Nicole Richie, her boyfriend Joel Madden and their daughter Harlow.
She recently did an interview where she said they both wanted to add to their family, wonder when that will happen?!
Xtina seen here wearing Givenchy co-hosted a dinner along with Louis XIII Black Pearl Cognac in honor of Matthew Rolston’s new book “Beauty Light.” The event was held at the Wallis Annenberg Cultural Center in Beverly Hills California on November 10.
Rolston’s “Beauty Light” is a book of modern Hollywood photography featuring such celebrities as: Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Drew Barrymore and Salma Hayek.
Xtina’s new album, Keeps Getting’ Better – A Decade of Hits, is exclusively being sold at Target stores starting today. She told MTV news:
“It was really gratifying to see how much hard work I’ve put in over the last 10 years. When you’re in it, you just don’t realize as it accumulates how much you’ve done and how far you’ve come. I can’t believe it’s been a decade already. [On the album,] I wanted to include all the songs that I know I loved and that are crowd pleasers and real staples of my career thus far.”
Take a peek at Christina Aguilera’s new “Keeps Gettin’ Better” music video. The song is the first single off her upcoming greatest hits album Keeps Gettin’ Better – A Decade of Hits.
The director for the music video was Peter Berg, the same director of the movie Hancock, which starred Will Smith. I think the point to the video, is that she is traveling through time and fashion to show case her ten year career.
“I really enjoyed making the video for ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better,” being an artist who likes to play around with different looks, it was a lot of fun to portray various characters within the same shoot.”
Christina Aguilera wore a mod Pucci top and purple YSL platforms at the Africa Rising Festival in London on Tuesday night. Tonight’s show was the grand finale of the four series, which were already held in Abuja, Lagos and Washington DC (US).
The opening performance was by Nigeria’s rising star, Asa, who sang three songs: Fire on the Mountain, Bibanke and Jailer.
Tonight, she will perform at UK’s Royal Albert Hall for the ThisDay-sponsored event. Christina will be performing alongside Seal and Youssou N’Dour, the Senegalese legend. Also taking the stage will be former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell who said:
“As Secretary of State, I pushed for support for the continent. Aid quadrupled during my tenure. We supported the fight against HIV/AIDS with over $15 billion,” the former Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US military, who was the first African-American to hold the position, said. “However, big Africans must rise and take the responsibility for the development of the continent. They must end the wars. They must fight corruption.”
Models Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek and Tyson Beckford will stroll the catwalk wearing clothes from international designer House of Momo. Deola Sagoe, Chris Aire and Ozwald Boateng also showcased their designs.
Christina’s performance in Britain will be her first major performance since giving birth to her baby son Max. She’ll be the opening act for Thisday Africa Rising Festival and she intends to do what she does best, she says:
“It is important to show Max what mommy does. It is really important to me is that he is an individual and that’s why it is important for me to stay true to myself. If it happens to be raunchy so be it! It’s a matter of self expression to me”.
I just don’t see her singing “Dirty” the same way she used to… though if she does, it should be interesting.
Soul legend, Seal will also serenade the crowd with some of his best songs.
Here is a picture of Christina Aguilera, husband Jordan Bratman and their son Max Liron, 9 months, at the airport to catch a departing flight out of LAX airport in Los Angeles en route to London on Friday.
She is due to perform on Tuesday, October 14, at the UK’s Royal Albert Hall for The Africa Rising Festival sponsored by Nigerian newspaper THISDAY.
THISDAY Editor-in-Chief Nduka Obaigbena, says the festival is to raise awareness of Africa’s biggest issues, which include improving social and physical infrastructures and combating disease outbreaks. For more information, visit THISDAYOnline.com.
Christina Spoke to Glamour Magazine about her new album:
I just started recording it, but I can tell you that this record is all about fun. I’ll be referencing Pop Art, Andy Warhol’s art. So it will [sound] fun and fast-paced, and visually, it will be full of color, which is how it’s going to tie in with my new fragrance, Inspire [in stores next month]. There’s also going to be a modern element to it that comes from my love of Tokyo.
I am glad to see that Christina has jumped on the fragrance bandwagon. I am surprised she didn’t do it a little sooner. I guess later is better than never. Sounds like her album might be like Gwen Stefani’s latest album. Colourful and elements from Tokyo?
Christina Aguilera was strutting around showing off her massive rack! I just can’t get over it. She is totally loving her big boobs, thats why she unbuttoned that colorful dress of hers. I actually really like that Christina gave herself pink lips rather than bright red ones to complete her outfit.
Christina Aguilera decided she wanted a few more millions, so she sold her pictures to People Magazine. Christina Aguilera looks pretty hot, although she is probably airbrushed… I have to say that I am really upset about the whole airbrushing thing, covers are beginning to look so fake now. Before airbrushing was for a few touch ups having to do with zits and bags under your eyes. Now there is so much more that I can’t even be sure if it really is the person it is supposed to be.
Jordan took a quick peak at Christina Aguileras amazing rack, as they walked down the red carpet. I can’t get over the size of them, and I think Jordan is thinking the same thing! Christina looks amazing for post baby, and I am glad to see that she is most likely breastfeeding, even though she is a very busy star. Although she could be swelling because she isn’t getting rid of all her milk?
