| Xtina And Justin Stripped To Bits? - Sep 2003 | | Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake have hit the road in America and the "hottest tour of the year" is turning out to be somewhat lukewarm. The duo were originally scheduled for a 60-city tour but this has since been scaled down to 45. Some of the gigs have even been moved to smaller venues because poor ticket sales. The Stripped and Justified tour also hit a snag when it tried to cross the Canadian border - the trucks carrying the equipment were held up at customs causing the Vancouver show to be cancelled at the last minute. The hold-up was apparently coz some of the truck dri... |

Apparently, Donatella claims that her new line of clothes was inspired by Christina's over-the-top stage performances. "She is a great dancer, a great singer, her voice is amazing.”
The range promises lots of high pants and low waists and one of Christina's trademarks, plenty of 'sexy, strong leather'. Donatella Versace said. Speaking at the Milan fashion week, Christin... |

Raffles L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills is the kind of hotel you use as your office when you own a six-bedroom pile around the corner. Taking meetings in the lobby are David Schwimmer and Ashton Kutcher. An RCA records employee leads me to an Eastern-themed suite; Christina Aguilera is in one of its rooms, reclining on a futon bed, her dark hair in rollers, a white robe and ribbed vest highlighting a complexion that's morphed... |

| Christina Aguilera: "Can't Hold Us Down" - Sep 2003 | Christina Aguilera
'CAN'T HOLD US DOWN'
Released on Mon 8 Sep 2003
Label : BMG
There's certainly no holding her down, move over David Bowie, here comes Xtina, the pop chameleon and full-time saucy minx.
Ok, maybe that's exaggerating things slightly (and best not to lump Christina into the same bracket as Mr Bowie just yet) but every release from her 'Stripped' album to date has been completely different. She's either covering all her bases or freely experimenting. Either way it's fair play to her.
The video for 'Can't Hold Us Down' is unintentionally hiliarous and makes up for a rather b... |

| Those pesky reporters can't follow directions - Sep 2003 | Madonna showed up at a Paris news conference Monday to plug her new children's book, The English Roses, and lectured reporters.
Seems they wanted to talk about other things, like, oh, those MTV kisses with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
But Madonna told them: ''Come on, ask me questions about my book. I want to talk about my book.''
So they asked her about … a possible conversion to Judaism (no), turning her book into a stage production (no), autographing a book for a children's home in Toronto (no) and having another child (shrug).
Eventually she was asked if her 6-year-old daught... |

| Sluts with style - Sep 2003 | Slutty Barbie
Christina Aguilera has followed the same rode as rival Britney, but had to drop the 'sweet girl' act soon. During a visit to her old school a clasmate Lelsie - an anorexic who wants to be an actress - asked if Christina thought if she has a chance in making it. "No way', Christina answered after looking at Lelslie. "You're way too fat".
Her outfits also cover less and less flesh. If she walked in jeans in her 'Genie in a bottle' days, she's leaving nothing to the imagination in the 'Dirrty' video. "When I saw the shocked look of my grandma, I thought: maybe... |

The 22-year-old is being paid a whopping six figure sum to be the new face (or should that be the new feet?) of the popular US sneaker brand during her Justified and Stripped world tour.
She says," I like their image - youthful but edgy. They have attitude and are willing to try new ideas." Hmmm, and then there's that big wodge of cash you'll get out of it, Christina...
Christina only got the gig after Sketchers axed their last pop promoter, none other than Britney Spears. Now, that could be consi... |

Jumpsuits are all the rage in Hollywood, but not in a baggy, boxy, let-me-change-your-carburetor way. Jumpsuits are sexy and chic - at least when worn by celebs like Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Jaime Pressly, Eve, Paris Hilton and Mena Suvari.
In khaki, army green or basic black, the jumpsuit is worn fitted and zipped down. Slip on a pair of heels and go from gas station to gorgeous!... |

A: The stars of this past summer's hottest tour are longtime friends since their Mickey Mouse Club days, which was just one of the factors taken into consideration when they decided to tour together.

Yes, Xtina does admit that she scored her first kiss when she was just five years old.
The unapologetic star says: "My mom caught me on the front porch with this kid that lived a couple of houses down. It was very cute and flirtatious, but it wasn't no little peck. It was a make-out session. I don't know whether that makes me look really bad, but, hey, it happened."

Madonna stunned the audience at Thursday’s MTV Video Awards when she French-kissed both Christina and Britney Spears during a raunchy lesbian routine.
Christina, 22, said: “Everyone wants to know about that damn kiss.
“She’s got a very soft lip — and she’s a very lovely kisser.
“I’ve kissed her numerous times — because at every rehearsal she wanted to do it right on every time.”

Christina and fellow pin-up Britney Spears both enjoyed an outrageous on-stage snog with Madonna at last week's MTV Video Awards.
The raunchy lesbian routine won a standing ovation from the celebrity-packed awards ceremony, which included Madonna's film director husband, Guy Ritchie.
Christina was equally impressed.
"Everyone wants to know about that damn kiss," Christina said. "She's got a very soft lip - and she's a very lovely kisser. I've kissed her numerous times - because at ever... |

The opening number featured Britney, Madonna and Christina sharing passionate kisses while singing "Like a Virgin," the song Madonna opened the award ceremony with 20 years earlier.
Britney and Christina were dressed as brides and Madonna was dressed as a groom and came out singing her hit "Hollywood."

| 2 Legends Of Modern Pop Shine In Labor Day Show - Sep 01, 2003 |  When Christina Aguilera walked onstage Sunday night at Conseco Fieldhouse, the bright lines of her outfit formed an asterisk below her belt -- a glaring reminder of ways the singer has made headlines since the release of her "Stripped" album last fall.
But in contrast to the get-your-freak-on promotion of "Stripped," Aguilera delivered a predominantly tasteful show.
She looked better after ditching the first costume (which, naturally, was paired to the night's rendition of "Dirrty").

| Less Love for Raunchy MTV Kudofest - Sep 01, 2003 | NEW YORK - Despite steamy liplocks among Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, the 20th annual MTV Video Music Awards could not generate enough ratings heat to top last year.
The Thursday night broadcast drew 10.7 million total viewers, down from the record 12 million who watched last year
Hosted by Chris Rock, the VMAs did notch the highest concentration for 12-34 viewers on cable for the year to date; no network, whether broadcast or cable, topped MTV in primetime household ratings for the night.

| Single Review - Can't Hold Us Down - Sep 01, 2003 | Two of the worse dressers in pop combine their dental floss outfits and surprisingly make a rather decent noise along the way.
It's pretty obvious despite both performer's penchant for crotchless knickers that they're powerful women who shouldn't be messed with, but just in case there are a couple of prehistoric males lurking out here Christina and Kim have written this girl power anthem. "Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman / Call me a b*tch cos I speak what's on my mind," well, that told you. Song wise this is standard funky fare from Christina, more impressive is Kim who p... |

Tonight's local Juice TV Music Awards (7.30pm) goes up against the delayed broadcast of the American MTV Music Awards (TV3, 8.30pm). The face-off could be seen as an opening skirmish between the now free-to-air Juice TV and TV3 owners CanWest's forthcoming C4 - TV4's shift into a music channel.

The magazine also added that Jennifer Lopez was asked to perform in Madonna and Britney's kiss off, but Jennifer blocked the idea because she didn't want to wear a wedding dress so close to her actual wedding date with Ben Affleck, opening the door for backup Christina Aguilera.

But even Madonna on the cover can't save the terminally lackluster Harper's Bazaar. These cover girls have serious competition from iconic ad campaigns, where Steven Meisel's ethereal Christina Aguilera for Versace easily trumps Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's android J.Lo for Vuitton.

“I didn’t make it past the first round,” said Miller.
After 34 hours of waiting in line with 5,000-plus potential Idols and a night curled up inside the Georgia Dome, Miller had no more than a few seconds to perform her song “A Moment Like This.”

It seems like it was only yesterday that Christina Aguilera was telling us about what a girl wants and 'N Sync was saying "bye bye bye" to girlish screams.
Now Aguilera is 22 and grown up. So, too, is 'N Sync star Justin Timberlake, also 22, and, like Aguilera, an alum of the new Mickey Mouse Club. The two have teamed up for the Justified and Stripped Tour, which ended Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
That meant nearly three hours of girlish screams from 13,136 teens, just like at an ... |

You couldn't be blamed for asking that if you attended Tuesday night's closing concert of the Justin Timberlake/Christina Aguilera "Justified and Stripped" tour at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center. Though Aguilera brought most of the elaborate set pieces and pyrotechnics, she also came across as the more accomplished vocalist, and she'd be justified in transforming her image next into a soul stylist.
Meanwhile, Timberlake was the one with the stripped-down, simply staged show. He impressed more with his dancing skills than his voice.

After she plucked off her pink, feathered dress and peeled off her "white" wedding gown at the 2003 VMA's, Christina threw on some casually rockin' after-party attire. Along with her newly vamp, black hair, Christina heavily applied dark shadows and tones to her eyes, and went for subtle-sexy with pink frosted lips. Her bustier top worn underneath a black leather jacket is a look that shows she's ready for anything. (And we know she is!)

Britney, 22 — seen yesterday with red streaks in her hair — locked lips with Madge on stage at last week’s MTV Video Awards in New York.
An insider said: “Madonna thought the necklace was a nice way of saying thanks.
She already has one with the letter M and wanted Britney’s to be a B so it was like a friendship necklace.”
Madonna, 45, also caused a stir when she kissed Christina Aguilera.... |

| Christina Voted Worst Dressed Celebrity - Sep 04, 2003 |  Pop babe Christina Aguilera's passion for raunchy outfits continues to offend style critics - she's now been voted the world's worst dressed celebrity.
The Dirrty singer beat out tough competition from rivals Britney Spears, who came second, and third-placed Madonna.
And readers of women's magazine Prima voted Victoria Beckham as the best dressed celebrity for the second year running - although she once topped the poll as the worst dressed.

| The kiss that shocked the world - Sep 04, 2003 |  Makes Madonna's kiss men unnecesary? Or is het more of a stunt than a feministic milestone? An analysis of the most famous french kiss of this moment.
By Bernard Hulsman
The MTV Awards are always good for suprises. Sometimes real suprises, like the presentation of British comedian Ali G, who announced the sweet English singer Dido as Dildo two years ago. This was a real and, for the the bosses of MTV, an unpleasant suprise. It has to be, because the footage were not repeated, whilst it's the habit of the music station to repeat footage of the MTV Awards over and over again.

The singer showed up at Plaid's weekly Buckingham night with the former "Baywatch" babe, as well as photographer David LaChapelle -- who directed her raunchy "Dirrty" video -- and transsexual icon Amanda Lepore.
Christina has reportedly begged Lapore to "take me somewhere I can see guys getting into it," according to the Page Six.

| The Kiss Heard 'Round The World - Sep 04, 2003 | The 20th annual MTV music awards began with a bang this year. Onstage were Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, America's reigning pop tarts, dressed in sexy wedding dresses, singing "Like A Virgin".
This homage to Madonna was then joined by the Material Girl herself, who -- in the event's headline moment -- gave both Christina and Britney a tasteful, yet open-mouthed, kiss.
In all the excitement, the tittering surprise, the assault on taboos, it was almost an anti-climax when Missy Elliot strode onstage to belt out a snippet from her hit "Work It".

| Hot Kisses Chilled Viewers - Sep 04, 2003 | For all the hype over the smooch session between Madonna and nymphets Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, you'd expect ratings for MTV's Video Music Awards to have been at record-setting levels.
But this year's broadcast was actually down 12 percent from last year's among total viewers.
Could it be, at 20 years old, the VMAs are showing their age? Coming after declines for June's MTV Movie Awards, it may be that the network itself is showing its age – hence the over-the-top kiss stunting.
The 8 p.m. Thursday night broadcast attracted 10.7 million viewers compared to a record ... |

You guys, don't even give this one a second thought. Usually when this happens, it's actually a huge compliment!! There's got to be a lot of people out there doing those songs for it to be a problem. Also, (and I'm just guessing here), after the producer went behind Christina's back and gave the song she wrote to Kelly Clarkeson, I'd imagine American Idol folks might shy away from her songs because they might be afraid the same thing would happen over again. Simply easier to avoid all the way around.

This latest lesbian make-out follows the annual run of girl-girl kisses that turn up on television during primetime sweeps. Just this summer, Ben “I’m not gay” Affleck and Jennifer Lopez brought us yet another “hasbian” film in the form of (shudder) “Gigli.”

Christina Aguilera is a fabulous singer, no question. Way back when she first came on the seen she performed on the Letterman show in New York, a bluesy, gutsy performance full of soul and passion. That is long gone. She then re-took the crown with ‘Dirrty’ by going so far that there was no return. Changing her style, getting raunchy and generally using shock tactics for the public to recognize her again.
That’s all well and good when there is a great song underneath and her voice is able to breathe. The latest offering is not only l... |

Perhaps the most important lesson of all about heroes is that they aren't perfect. If you think that's a hard lesson, there's an even harder one they'll learn eventually — that you aren't perfect, either. Remember that how you answer their questions about Bryant will shape their response to you — their first hero — the one whose imperfections they discover all too quickly as they grow up. |

Well, as a former teenage boy I'm here to tell you that they are distracting, and in fact if girls had dressed the way they do now when I was in high school, the boys might have actually exploded.
Suzie: Hey, Bobby, do you like my new navel ring?
Bobby: KABOOM.
Saying that these clothes aren't a distraction fails to take into consideration that teenage boys are distracted by almost anything - the baseball p... |

| Pink: Me And Stefani Turned Down Britney Kiss - Sep 12, 2003 | Pink has hit out at Madonna's claims she rejected her from the lesbian kiss episode at the MTV VMA's - insisting it was her who turned the opportunity down.
At the American awards show last month Britney Spears shocked the audience by locking lips with Madonna, who also kissed Christina Aguilera after they performed Like a Virgin together.
The veteran singer has since claimed other singers, including Pink, Faith Hill and Natalie Maines, were refused parts in the performance.
But Pink has hit back, insisting she, Britney and No Doubt star Gwen Stefani were first choice and accused Madonna of... |

| Starry, Starry Sight - Sep 12, 2003 | In some circles, Calvin Klein's fall fashion show is already a fabulous success. Are women scooping up his new high-waisted skirts? Are his sheer, flouncy tops bouncing out of stores? Will his flirty little dresses become the season's must-have? With the official beginning of fall still a week away, it's too soon to tell.
What we do know is this: Klein's fall show, which was held in February, had enough star wattage to illuminate Blackout Night. Think A-listers Hilary Swank, Renee Zellweger and Claire Danes. Do we need to know more?

Autograph Collector magazine's 12th annual poll of celebrity autograph givers has named Eric Bana and Hugh Jackman as among the worst of the worst.
And unless you count former Sydneysider Colin "forgettable" Farrell, there's no one we can claim among the best.

| Christina Aguilera, Can't Hold Us DownHHHHI - Sep 12, 2003 | DESPITE the fact that she looks desperately in need of a good wash, a sweet air of success surrounds Christina Aguilera's music career.
As critical acclaim washes over her, the poor wee soul seems to have let her looks go to ruin and these days she's sporting the look of a common street girl rather than aninternational music diva in the making. No matter, her music is reassuringly well presented and her latest single, Can't Hold Us Down, is testament to her true style.
Enlisting the help of fellow Moulin Rogue strumpet Lil' Kim, this song is said to be about female empowerment. Ironic then t... |

What are the objective measures for greatness? For example, do you consider sales as a criterion? If so, Dianne Warren and Max Martin must rank highly. Although little known or feted outside the industry, Warren is probably th... |

Are you ready for some football? That's the usual ABC question kicking off ''Monday Night Football,'' but this year, ABC and the NFL should have first asked, ''Are you ready for some lip-synching ex-teen queen in black and white leather?''
Real pro-football junkies were probably taking in Rush Limbaugh and the other pre-game analysts on ESPN. But I'm sure there were many young men who found a new dream job: being one of the two male assistants who removed Britney's pants in th... |

The Peas have raised eyebrows in the world of hip-hop with their pacifist ballad "Where Is The Love," which rejects the common formula of macho gun-toting lyrics in favor of political soul-searching.
British singer Dido remained in the second spot with "White Flag," the Official UK Charts Company said Sunday.

With the victory, Mosley (39-2, 35 knockouts) took away De La Hoya's WBA and WBC super-welterweight titles and re-established himself as a pre-eminent force in the sport.
De La Hoya, who said he would retire if he lost to Mosley, must decide whether to do so. The 30-year-old didn't mention that vow after the loss.

It seems mere moments ago that the attention of mainstream America alighted on the humble garment business, transforming models into household names, designers into media darlings and movie stars into dress dummies whose forays onto red carpets became notable for the labels inside their clothes.

The 22-year-old singer, who is equally famous for her revealing dress sense as she is for her songs, told German paper Netzeitung: "It's important to me to be open and honest and for me to say that sex is a beautiful thing.
"I like having sex. It's fun. And I shouldn't be made to feel guilty about that. Sex is a very natural activity."
It depends on who you're doing it with, dear.
