The usually brazen Christina is looking anonymous today in a stripy T-shirt with no bra, her newly red hair scooped back into a bandanna and her dark caramel skin luminous. La... |

That is why MTV is so reluctant to show some videos, such as Incubus "Megalomaniac" or Thursday's "War All the Time."
