| The Bad + The Dirrty - Dec 2003 |  “Bring him over,” she says to her personal assistant as Blender arrives at the front door. She, incidentally, is naked on her bed except for a sheet clutched to her breast. “I want to say hello.”
It is a little after 10 o’clock on a misty Tuesday night in September, high in the Hollywood Hills. Christina Aguilera’s secluded home—opulent enough to suggest that her wealth is vast, her decorative taste eclectic and her love for scented candles boundless—is teeming with people on her payroll. The reason for tonight’s gathering may be a little bizarre for everyday folk to appreciate, but such is t... |

| Can't Hold Her Down - Dec 2003 | For a moment, Christina Aguilera is behaving like an ordinary 22 year old might. The R&B pop star is fussing over her dog she hasnt seen for a while since been on tour with Justin Timberlake.
But she snaps out of the girly tone as soon as we start talking about her rise to stardom, the press, her raunchy outfits, even raunchier shows and the new album, titled Stripped. Aguilera has had enough of defending her image and the music she makes.
She's created an image that has become repetitive to defend, and it's not hard to detect the rigmarole that comes with the job of being the pretty gi... |

| Britney Busts Loose! - Dec 2003 | "I can't believe Christina said that about me," Britney Spears mutters.
In the December issue of Blender, Christina Aguilera took time out to talk about Spears. It began with Aguilera complaining about how Spears had received all the attention from The Kiss - both former Mickey Mouse Clubbers had locked lips with Madonna during the MTV Video Music Awards, yet the column inches were all about Spears. Aguilera was especially put out that MTV's cameras cut from her smooch to Justin Timberlake's annoyed reaction.
"I didn't even notice that," Spears said when Aguilera's commen... |

A: Right and I’m not into Britney. She is cool, but I’m not into her flavor. We art totally different artists. She doesn’t create music or a self-proclaimed vocalist. Christina is a singer and writer, but I can pick up an instrument and play it. That is no mystery to people and I have studied classical opera for four years. I just happen to have a certain look and my body looks a certain way and that is what the general pu... |

| Christina Aguilera, The Fighter - Dec 2003 |  Criticised by the press and her fellow latinos, she keeps on making music her way.
She has been belittled for her too relealing clothes (leather chaps over thong underwear), for her too 'Dirrty' lyrics, and even for trying to promote herself as Latina to capitalize on the surging Latin music market. All nonsense, we argue - and so does Christina.
"For a long time, I had been uncomfortable with the image that had been built around me," the Grammy-winning pop star recently said. " I'm not that girl."
Instead, she's the kind of mujer we can respect: one who thrives in a t... |

You'll need: A matt texture cream like WAKK Plasta, $13.95
What to do: The dirrtier your hair, the better! Separate it into two sections and drag over your shoulders. Put a small amount of cream in one palm, rub hands together then run hands through the lengths of your hair. For added texture, twist small sections so you get a really piecey look. Once hair looks ropey, loosely plait sections, leaving some hair loose.... |

| Christina Says No to Diets! - Dec 2003 | Sure, she's in great shape, but Christina Aguilera isn't about to obsess over food anytime soon. "I often eat fast food, like hamburgers or something," she says. What? No Zone Diet for X-tina?
She says that being on a strict diet is the last thing she'd want. "I couldn't care less about stupid diets," she says. That's not to say she pigs out on fast food and candy all day, every day.
You do have to be in decent shape to tour, like she and Justin Timberlake just did, but you won't find rabbit food in her dressing room. "Eating is fun," she says. "I'm not goi... |

| Stripped for success - Dec 2003 |  Christina unplugged...
Do you ever hear about yourself in the media and think, "I'm not sure that's even me?
Yes. There's a lot of misrepresentation out there - there's lies, rumours, stories, controversy. It's like, "I was where at what time?" because I know I was at home watching a movie.
You've reinvented yourself on your latest record, Stripped. Especially the video for "Dirrty". How did you tell your mum? Was it like, "I'm just calling for the chicken soup recipe. And by the way, I'm dressing as a nympho in my next video"?

So, you're on the road, sitting on a bus for days on end. Sounds, er, thrilling...
Well you find your things to do. I prefer European tour buses better than the US buses, cos I get my own bedroom back there! I don't mind the bus - I make it my home away from home. I like it much better than flying, even when the drive is crazy long.
What do you miss most when you travel?

| The Good, the Bad and the Dirrty - Dec 2003 |  What does it take to become Blender’s Woman of the Year? For Christina Aguilera, a fearless approach to record-making, a good pair of assless chaps and a refreshing eagerness to talk trash: about MTV, Beyoncé and Britney, Britney, Britney. “These people aren’t artists!” she roars. “They’re just…fake.”
"Bring him over,” she says to her personal assistant as Blender arrives at the front door. She, incidentally, is naked on her bed except for a sheet clutched to her breast. “I want to say hello.”

| Timberlake And Aguilera TV Specials Turn Off Viewers - Dec 01, 2003 | | It's official. According to mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, Justin Timberlake is a loser. Well, at list his NBC special "Down Home In Memphis" is. The show had incredibly low ratings. NBC expected this, which is why they moved the special from before Thanksgiving to Black Friday. The Programming Insider posted that Timberlake's special drew a "mere 2.8/ 4 in the overnights and a fifth place 1.6/ 5 in adults 18-49. Stick to MTV, Justin." For the week, NBC came in dead last.

"All of this for a performer whose raw talents wouldn't appear to add up to much. Christina Aguilera has a better voice, a fact Spears acknowledged in the "Primetime" interview. Janet Jackson is a better dancer. And Spears doesn't have Madonna's calculated smarts, Pink's fireball charisma, Beyoncé's musical savvy or Mariah Carey's drama factor."

A. And I think the celebrities are influencing people very quickly. What Christina Aguilera wears at a concert or on her latest video very quickly gets interpreted in the fashion stores like Topshop, and in a very affordable way, because all the teenagers want to look like their icons.

| Urban styles receive their due props at long last - Dec 05, 2003 | First, the Grammys got respectable.
Now, they're threatening to get hip.
With acts like OutKast, the Neptunes' Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z eating up lots of nominations this year, the Grammys have finally caught up with the age of two-way pagers and baggy pants.

| Christina has fans roaring - Dec 09, 2003 |  AMERICAN pop superstar Christina Aguilera competed against the deafening roar of an adoring audience at her first Australian concert last night.
The capacity crowd of more than 10,000 besotted fans -- mostly teenage girls - at the Sydney Entertainment Centre greeted every note or hair flick with ecstatic cheering and applause.
Their unrestrained response was despite a muddied sound system that failed to do her superb vocal talents justice.
Discerning lyrics was next to impossible but Aguilera made up for the technical difficulties - and a continuing bout of bronchitis which forced the can... |

| Aguilera on a winner - Dec 09, 2003 |  Pop princess Christina Aguilera is keeping her fingers crossed that she will take out the best popular female vocalist gong at international music's night of nights - the Grammys.
Aguilera, who is in Sydney to kick off the Australian leg of her Stripped world tour, found out last week that she was up for five Grammys - pitting her against the likes of Beyonce Knowles, diva Missy Elliott and rapper Eminem.
"I hope for the best," she told journalists in Sydney yesterday of her chances in the awards, which will be handed out in Los Angeles on February 8 next year.

| Sex and Sensibility - Dec 09, 2003 | | There have been countless studies on the effect of violence in the media on children and teens. However, most of the studies on sex in the media have been confined to content analysis. Do you think the amount of sex in the media (television, music, music videos) has an effect on teenage sexual behavior — especially young girls? (For example, Britney Spears' song/music video "I'm a Slave for You" and Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty"?) |

| Christina Aguilera, Entertainment Centre - Dec 10, 2003 |  To me, Christina Aguilera has always felt a bit like a poor man's Britney Spears, who shot out of the blocks mere months before Aguilera in 1999 to become pop's first instant solo icon since their shared spiritual grandmother, Madonna, took a Holiday.
But pop music is a marathon, not a sprint. And while Spears has spent her career desperately trying to justify her status with each underwhelming album, Aguilera has broken free of her manufactured-pop-star binds by doing whatever she wants after the success of her 1999 self-titled breakthrough and its accompanying cash-ins (a Christmas album, ... |

Also in contention, Christina Aguilera's Beautiful, and Avril Lavigne with I'm With You. Two sentimental favorites appear in the category: Warren Zevon's Keep Me In Your Heart and Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross. Luther is still recovering from the stroke he suffered earlier this year, and veteran singer and songwriter Warren Zevon passed away in 2003 after battling cancer. |

| Music Review-christina aguilera - Dec 11, 2003 | Can't Hold Us Down - Christina Aguilera featuring Lil' Kim
Christina Aguilera's new song Can't Hold Us Down contains some refreshing feminist sentiments, says Lorraine Smith.
I'm not sure what's happened to Christina Aguilera recently, but it makes for a refreshing change in the music industry today. Since the sweet inoffensive charms of her debut single Genie in a Bottle in 1999, she appeared to be just another Britney Spears and so I didn't pay much attention. Christina's voice was far better than Britney's but she didn't grab the headlines quite as much as her former Mickey Mouse Club co-... |

On backstage antics, Timberlake revealed about the pop princess, "She's not as wild and crazy as people may think! Christina's cool with just kicking back, having a few beers and watching a movie. She didn't really hang out that much on tour. And I probably shouldn't say this, but the short skirts were nice."

Adams added, "It's now almost ridiculous to think Aguilera was seen as the poor man's Britney, especially when Aguilera breaks into a spine-tingling cover version of Etta James' 'At Last'.

The combination of her often soul-searching lyrics and always sky-scraping voice added power to her sold-out show at Rod Laver Arena last night.
Opening with Dirrty, the song which reinvented her career (and a video which was the most controversial around until Paris Hilton went a few steps further and gazumped her), Aguilera put most of her pop contemporaries to shame.
There's no miming, no complaining about trying to sing and dance at the same time and no baulking from the high notes.

Fashion advertising still astounds me. Christina Aguilera is hired as the muse for Versace, and who does she look like in the ads but a younger version of Donatella Versace? The newly black-haired Aguilera is distinctly a platinum blonde in the ads and the signature eye goo is gone, gone, gone. I just wish she would use the gift of her voice rather than the perks as a fashion diva. There's time for her real talent later, I guess.
More advertising befuddlement: Natural is nice, but why would designer Jill Sander use a f... |

| Aguilera's visit, story lift spirits at women's shelter - Dec 22, 2003 |  Maybe she didn't exactly look like someone who would donate $200,000 to Pittsburgh's domestic violence shelter: a tiny young woman with long black hair frosted red at the tips, and wearing skin-tight jeans, an enormous newsboy's cap and a shy smile.
But Christina Aguilera -- former Wexford resident and international pop star -- has done just that, and yesterday she paid a surprise visit to residents at the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh in Oakland.
