| Artist To Watch - Christina Aguilera f/Missy Elliott - Aug 2004 | Christina Aguilera f/Missy Elliott "Car Wash" (DreamWorks/Geffen)
For this week, this hot track should be our "Record to Watch." We already know what both artists are capable of in terms of writing, producing and performing hits, but this remake of the Rose Royce 70s classic fits these two like a glove. Missy and Christina just sound like they belong together. There’s no doubt that with the song included in the forthcoming Pixar film Shark’s Tale, the two may have another monster hit in the making.

| Robbie Has A Pop At Christine Aguilera - Aug 2004 | Robbie Williams has blasted US singer Christina Aguilera by calling her image "trampy".
In his controversial autobiography, Feel, which has just been published, he says Christina looks like a girl who hangs around gay clubs.
Robbie rants: "She looks like a cross between someone in Trade (a London gay club) at six in the morning and someone who's trying to save trees.
"She's like a rock eco-warrior. She's a cross between Swampy and the Village People."
Robbie also reveals that apart from singing he's pretty useless at everything else.

| Fact or Fiction? - Aug 2004 | "I heard that Avril went off on Britney. Did she really?” – Tamara, 17
Fact!
It looks like Avril’s making the rounds when it comes to bad-mouthing her music-industry peers. During an interview with The Winnipeg Sun, Avril opened fire on both Brit and Christina Aguilera, calling them out for being slutty and over-the-top. “I personally look at that stuff… and think it’s really cheesy,” she says. “And I think it’s kind of nasty. But, I mean, that’s their choice and that’s their vibe and that’s what they go with. And, of course, guys love it.”

Christina’s put up with some bad boyfriends – she calls one the ‘Asshole’ now! You can be happy single but you can’t be happy in a bad relationship.

*Get de-stressed!
Christina’s been known to smash plates after bottling stuff up. For cheaper de-stressing methods, try deep breathing – and sharing your problems with others.

Uh, no. Where do these rumors come from? According to Saved! star Mandy Moore, there is no rivalry between her and these two pop divas. In fact, she’s totally weirded out by this rumor because she says it’s not like she’s always chilling with the stars.
“I’m not cool enough to see them on a daily basis,” she laughs. “You meet people and you bump into them occasionally, but I have no problems with them. I just think they’re amazing and they’re successful and they do what they do very well.”

| Hot Movement - Aug 2004 | Political pros have pretty much written off young voters: “We’re supposed to pay great homage to the youth vote,” says political consultant James Carville. “Actually, it’s less important than the elderly vote.”
In the 2000 election, less than a third of eligible eighteen-to-twenty-four-year-olds even showed up. But veteran TV producer Norman Lear is out to change that. His new organization, Declare Yourself, has a goal of signing up 1 million young voters, and he has recruited the likes of Andre 3000, Christina Aguilera and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs to help him.

The guitarist of choice for people like Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Christina Aguilera and Harry Connick Jr., Malone recently released his first solo album for MaxJazz (previously, he was on Columbia and Verve), Playground, a superlative exercise in smooth straight-ahead sounds (but certainly not ‘smooth jazz’)... |

Despite what many critics would have you think, most bands don't sound like Radiohead at all. Franz Ferdinand lives up to the hype.

And the baggy boys’ pants that seem one sneeze away from falling to the floor? So passe.
This year, back-to-school fashion is more grown-up. It’s retro 1940s with a touch of the 1980s — more modest and serious than previous seasons, but not dull. Think old movie-star glam combin... |

| MVPA Director of the Year Nominee Discusses Why Candy-Coated Toppings Don't Inte - Aug 26, 2004 | Floria Sigismondi’s desire to provoke, disturb and challenge, has made her a hot commodity to musicians who share similar aims: Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, and Bjork have all stood in line to work with her and make their music come to life through astonishing and mysterious imagery. Revolver Film Company, who represents the director, characterizes Sigismondi’s videos as “equally at home on MTV and in the Museum of Modern Art.”
Sigismondi was born in Pescara, Italy, and emigrated to Canada when she was two years old. In 1987 she moved to Toronto to study painting and illustration and majored... |

The winners' singles haven't hit the Top 40, and tour attendance has been spotty.

Charles Blum has a hunch it wasn't a knee injury that caused Britney Spears to cancel her summer concert tour. And Christina Aguilera's tour wasn't sidelined, he suspects, by strained vocal cords.
The real culprit, he says, was lousy ticket sales.
After demanding sky-high prices for popular concert tickets, the music industry is undergoing a price "correction," said Blum, president of Star Plaza Theater in Merrillville.

And this is evident in Tesoro's latest 30-piece collection, which consisted mostly of low-slung skirts that were either layered or paneled, and cropped corsets worn under deconstructed kimonas and cotton chemises.

Last year, the network, which is nominally devoted to music videos, commandeered Radio City Music Hall for its annual gala, which is nominally devoted to awards. More memorable than the results, of course (Does anyone remember who won?), were the celebrity appearances. Chris Rock was the host. And Madonna and Britney Spears tried to give each other's careers some mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. (Oddly enough, no one seemed to care that Madonna kissed Christina Aguilera, too.)

Before the show, a demure Aguilera was coy about her performance with Nelly.
Asked if it is naughty or nice, Aguilera says, “Oh we always throw in a little bit of both.” Nelly added, “You'll have to wait and see. I'm not giving it up. But it's hot. It's hot.”

| MTV Awards rapped up - Aug 31, 2004 | Sadly, the MTV Video Music Awards didn't feature a Madonna, Spears and Aguilera snog-fest.
But we're sure it was quite good anyway.
Hip-hop dominated the event, with Outkast and rapper Jay-Z both scooping four Moonmen awards at the Miami bash.

No one was more riveted by this 5a.m. spectacle than Paris Hilton.
