| Soul Mates (In Style July Article) - Jul 2006 |  When we paired Grammy winners with their musical idols, the results were pitch perfect: cheers, a few tears and, oh yes, plenty of high notes.
The Fan: Christina Aguilera
The Idol: Etta James
Christina on Etta: "She's what I want to be someday: sitting on a stool in some smoky jazz club, doing bluesy versions of my old hits like 'What A Girl Wants' with just a piano--I'll still be as raunchy as I wanna be and I'll have the memory of Etta James to back me up. It's funny: Etta told me she had heard I was 'a little hotheaded,' and you know what she said? 'Just like me--a girl after my own ... |

| The girls of summer - Jul 02, 2006 | Thanks to the return of some familiar faces, it looks as if it’s going to be a girly summer on the pop charts. Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, and Jessica Simpson are all back with new singles and, soon, albums, and celebutante Paris Hilton is finally dropping her long-rumored ‘‘music’’ on an already beleaguered public. Interestingly, as different as these women are, their songs have one thing in common: Everybody’s going retro.

| Couples Watch - Jul 03, 2006 |  Newlywed Christina Aguilera says recording her new double-CD Back to Basics (due Aug. 15) was like "having twins."
So we had to ask: Are there any plans for kids in her and music-producer husband Jordan Bratman's future?

"But I have goals and a set game plan for myself. I have to get through delivering these two babies first."

| Aguilera explains style change - Jul 04, 2006 | Pop star Christina Aguilera has explained why she has moved away from her raunchy image and adopted more of a "Marilyn Monroe" look for her new album.
The singer appeared topless on the cover of her last album 'Stripped' - with only her hair covering her breasts - and wore sexy outfits in the accompanying music videos.
But Aguilera poses on a bed with bright red lipstick and curled blonde hair on the front of her new LP 'Back To Basics' and insists the look was inspired by a number of classy Hollywood legends.
She said: "I'm referencing Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Carol... |

She's even kept the controversial leather chaps from her DIRRTY video, but insists she has no intention of slipping back into them - although she is glad she had the courage to wear them in the first place. Aguilera says, "They are locked away in storage. It's entertaining to look back at things even thought I would never wear those outfits again. "Thank God I was bold enough to do it. If I'm going to do that, I might as well do it when I'm young enough to pull it off. &q... |

| Xtina's comeback — she's quite the showoff on new single - Jul 07, 2006 | OF ALL the strange things I've seen through the magic that is youtube.com, one of the eeriest was watching a 10-year-old Christina Aguilera belt out "Sunday Kind of Love," a sultry ballad most associated with Etta James.
It's not that Aguilera mangled the song — it's that she performed it too well, wielding a voice and emotive pantomime years more mature than her age would suggest. However, this is not a song a 10-year-old girl should be singing; her performance doesn't nod toward her later girl-next-door appeal circa "Genie In a Bottle" so much as the JonBenet Ramsey beau... |

| EMI Joins Battle For Songs Giant - Jul 09, 2006 |  EMI is expected to join most of the world's major music groups and table a first-round bid tomorrow for £800m song rights giant BMG Publishing.
German owner Bertelsmann has put the New York-based business, which owns the rights to songs by Coldplay and Christina Aguilera, up for sale and hopes for a swift deal.
It needs to raise more than £3bn to buy back the 25% stake that Groupe Bruxelles Lambert has in Bertelsmann and so take back control of the business.

NEW YORK — Diddy has scrapped the PDV (PD Five) album name he's been working with for the past year. The official title for his October 3 release is now simply Press Play, an ode to Puff's vow to not overhype his LP.

I don't aspire to it - I'd rather they listen to whatever I've created and feel that they're the sexiest pop star in the world. But if people think I'm sexy, that's very flattering.'

| Christina Aguilera Likes It See Through - Jul 18, 2006 |  Christina Aguilera seems to be adverse to wearing a bra. The other week there were some pictures of her walking around in a t-shirt without a bra, but I didn't post those. These I'm posting, for a few reasons, not least of which is the fact that her top is see-through.
Call Christina what you like, but don't call her shy. Hell, she payed a lot of money for those breasts, she might as well show them off, no? And it looks like they were probably well done, since she obviously doesn't seem to need the added support of that bra she's not wearing.
Anyway, it's Christina Aguilera in a see-through ... |

| Christina Goes Bra-less - Jul 19, 2006 |  OOOH la la…
Our eagle-eyed snappers caught pint-sized pop star Christina Aguilera nipping out in Paris without a bra.
The blonde beauty poured her fantastic hourglass figure into a tight fitting skirt and lacy top combo for a performance at the city’s Olympia concert hall.
However stunning Christina, who also showed off a new tattoo that says I Love You Always, in Spanish, should know better than to go bra-less in front of our cameras.
Earlier this year, The Sun campaigned for Christina’s former chart rival, Britney Spears, to get some support for her saggy boobs.

| Is the new Christina Aguilera album just a load of shouting? - Jul 19, 2006 |  No, it is not. We heard some of the songs listed below last night at a thing in London.
We like the fact that having once shortened her name to Xtina, Ms Aguilera now seems to be extending her name, by adding an extra 'r'.
Christrina was there last night to introduce the songs. She spoke quite a lot about her love for jazz music (hence the venue etc etc) and while she hadn't exactly dressed up for the evening she looked very pretty. She informed us that she was "going to share with you my heart and my soul", which was nice, because in these days of celebrities being guarded and emo... |

And the diminutive pop star is keen to show of her latest incarnation as a demure 1920s-style pin-up.
Making an appearance in Paris for a private concert on Monday, the 25-year-old donned a tight, high-waisted pencil skirt more akin to Marilyn Monroe than her leather-clad Dirrty girl persona. In a recent interview with MTV she spoke out about her new look, which coincides with the release of her jazz-based album Bac... |

Last night, Dooley was privy to an exclusive preview of songs from her anticipated follow up, Back To Basics, a double album split between tracks co-written and co-produced by DJ Premier and Linda Perry, and Dooley for one, was... ummm, lets see.... well, to call this a strong alb... |

The petite American jetted into the UK to showcase songs from double CD Back To Basics at a London jazz club.
She’s been brave and chosen to follow her heart by recording an album of jazz and blues-influenced tracks which show off her sensational voice.
There are a few Lady Marmalade-style numbers which will keep the fans happy — and no doubt be released as singles.
Stand-out songs for me include a huge power-ballad called Hurt, plus Nasty Naughty Boy and the first single from the album, Ain’t No... |

Our Eva joined the Dirrty singer as she premiered her eagerly-awaited new album at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London's Soho on Tuesday - and discovered she's got even dirrtier.
Her new double CD called Back To Basics is released on August 14 and some of the lyrics leave nothing to the imagination.
In Nasty Naughty Boy - which has No1 single written all over it - the blonde bombshell trills: "I want to give you a little taste of the sugar below my waist."

| Christina Aguilera's Biggest Fan - Jul 20, 2006 | “CHRISTINA: BASICALLY, SHE’S BRILL.”
No, not the words of a groupie, some star struck fan waiting beneath a hotel window for a glimpse of their idol, but a headline inspired by the Sun’s Victoria Newton (“showbiz writer of the year”).
Victoria’s paean to Christina Aguilera tells readers that the singer has been “brave” and chosen to “follow her heart” in recording a new album of jazz-style track that show off her “sensational” voice.
But before we place our order for a copy of the album, or just get one free in tomorrow’s Sun, the Star tells us more of what to expect from Christina.

W e have nothing but love for Christina Aguilera these days. And gratitude for giving us a pop singer to admire again.
Britney lost us at K-Fed.
Jessica seems to be in a period of … self-discovery.
So we’re turning to Christina for our fix. Although she is not yet at Beyoncé status (love, love, love her!), she’s on the right track since going glam. (Hate, hate, hated the “Dirrty” look she took on with her album “Stripped” in 2002. File it under “trying too hard.”)
Plus, her always-outstanding pipes are still in shape, as heard on “Ain’t No Other Man.”

A source said: "Now she's married, Christina has decided to remove her right nipple ring - the last... |

| Christina Aguilera's Marylin Monroe Inspiration - Jul 20, 2006 |  The artwork for Christina Aguilera's new album was inspired by Marilyn Monroe. I know what ya'll are thinking - how boring for Christina Aguilera to draw inspiration from Marilyn Monroe; everyone has done that. Well, would you rather her draw inspiration from Paris Hilton? I think not. She does site other influences as well:
She said: "I'm referencing Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Carole Lombard and Greta Garbo.
"We wanted an old Hollywood feel where you're kind of in the bed, but also being inviting. We got to play a little dress-up. A huge element of this is also a 1920s circ... |

| Aguilera smells and plays new album - Jul 20, 2006 |  Christina Aguilera’s nose doesn’t work. If it did it would surely have recognised the importance of calling it a day after just the nine squirts of Chanel No 5, or whatever particular brand of stink it is that she uses, rather than pouring the entire bottle over herself.
At the media launch of Aguilera’s new double album, Back To Basics, you could smell Christina before you saw her, which was lucky as there wasn’t a lot to see. She’s tiny. Big heels, white calf-length jeans, tank top, white vest, Fifties blonde ‘do’, lots of lipstick: hot. But my God she stunk like a 12-year-old girl’s bedroo... |

| First Night: Christina Aguilera, Koko, London - Jul 21, 2006 | Gone in thirty minutes, but still a masterclass from this true pop diva
Only a fool would bet against Christina Aguilera's successful return. If last month's cover shoot for American GQ and lucrative deals with Sony Ericsson/Orange mobile phones were the prep work for her latest campaign, her still-sublime, four-octave voice, and sassy, hook-laden new single "Ain't No Other Man" should take care of the rest.
We're told the 25-year-old's new double album is partly "a throwback to Twenties, Thirties and Forties-style jazz and blues", but it's not quite adieu to "Xtin... |

The 25-year-old pop star couldn't wait to spill her saucy secrets when she was grilled on Russell's MTV show, 1 Leicester Square, in London last night.
Much to randy Russ's delight, Christina confessed to preferring the female form to a man's physique.
But that will be little consolation to her poor husband of a mere eight months, 28-year-old music executive Jordan Bratman.

"Just to get into the song," she says, "to convey that emotion and high energy, especially to belt out some notes, the red lipstick helped me get to that mind frame."

| Christina Aguilera Koko, London - Jul 22, 2006 | 4 out of 5 stars
Making an entrance worthy of Kylie, Christina Aguilera looks stunning. Having reined in her penchant for leather and cleavage and adopted a look inspired by wartime pin-ups, the artist formerly known as Dirrty is now properly glamorous.
The stage is a-swirl with dancers in jazz-era fringed skirts and fedoras, but even with her back to the crowd and arms aloft, she outshines the lot. Her new stylishness - hair coyly dipping over one eye; retro black and silver shorts - plays its part, but it's her recalibrated attitude that makes the difference.

"The sexuality coming forward on this record is more softened," she says in the July 24 issue of Newsweek. "It's more pin-up, tongue-in-cheek. It's playful. People take sex far too seriously."

“I was proud of myself for having the balls to do it,” the 25-year-old singer said in an interview with Newsweek. “Everybody had an opinion. If you liked it, you wanted to root for me - 'Look, she's empowered,' If not, well, you'd stick all those labels on me.” In Back to Basics, she says the effect is a lot subtler.

She has built a credible pop catalog, one that has shown growth and a willingness to take risks. She has not dallied with TV shows, or children's books or pug rescue charities. Who among her contemporaries can say the same?
