She doesn't want to wear latex — she doesn't want to wear anything!
She probably only likes latex because it's one of the closest things to human skin people can wear.

I also think she’s more interesting than Lady Gaga (who people are asking if Aguilera is copy catting!

The house has been thoroughly Aguilerized with zebra- and leopard-print carpets and Shepard Fairey prints that scream Obey from the walls. The doorknobs, at least, are holdovers from the Osbourne era, heavy iron affairs with Gothic crosses on them. The other holdover is the recording studio, a converted pool house past a courtyard full of teak gazebos, li... |

In any case, she had some questionable things to say about Lady Gaga and now has to backtrack.
It all started when Out magazine asked Xtina about Gaga, really a sort of mandatory question at this point, and this was the response: "'Oh, the newcomer?' Aguilera chuckles. 'I think she's really fun to look at.'"

The Out quote (“’Oh, the newcomer? I think she’s really fun to look at”) is, of course, not Xtina’s first time addressing the topic; In 2008, she famously claimed not to be familiar with Gaga, or even know whether she was a she at all: “”I’m no... |

| Christina Aguilera’s Newest Album Offers Fresh Sounds, Amazing Vocals - May 27, 2010 | After going pursuing a more retro feel on 2006’s Back to Basics, Christina Aguilera looks toward the future for a new musical direction with electro-romp album Bionic. The 18-track set consists of Aguilera’s most fun and playful songs to date. Also notable is Aguilera’s interesting choices in song collaborators, with artists like Sia and Nicki Minaj rounding out Bionic’s sound. Though the album has drawn criticism from some for feeling like a rip-off of Lady Gaga’s style, Aguilera slays the comparisons with her powerful, gargantuan voice.
Among the best tracks on Bionic is the flirty Peaches ... |

| Check Out: Christina Aguilera (feat. M.I.A.) – “Elastic Love” - May 27, 2010 | Christina Aguilera has sure come a long way since “Genie In a Bottle”. Just listen (via Some Kind of Awesome) to “Elastic Love”, a new song from her forthcoming album – Bionic – due on June 8th via RCA.
The three-and-a-half minute track was co-written with Mathangi Arulpragasam (aka M.I.A.) and sounds like a something that could make the stiffest indie-wallflowers bob their heads.
The tune is classic M.I.A. with its pulsating synth ping-backs and an 808-esque backbeat, and X-tina even sounds like the Sri Lankan sensation as she compares her love to office supplies: “If I was a ruler I would ... |

| Aguilera wants fans to know her music before tour - May 27, 2010 | Pop star Christina Aguilera has asked fans to become familiar with her new music before she heads out on tour days after axing her concert to give her more time to rehearse.

"I made the decision to move my summer tour and I am truly sorry to those of you who had purchased tickets and have been disappointed by the news," Aguilera said i... |

| Song You Need To Know: Christina Aguilera, 'I Hate Boys' - May 27, 2010 | Don't tell Christina Aguilera's husband, but her latest song might be the next big anti-boy anthem. Appropriately titled "I Hate Boys," the recently leaked track is just the selection off Christina's much-anticipated upcoming album Bionic, which is slated for release June 8.
Original reports called out Le Tigre as producer but, after a little digging, it looks like the song was actually produced by Polow da Don, who also worked on Xtina's current single "Not Myself Tonight." (Though Le Tigre collaborated on "My Girls.")
Still, "I Hate Boys" is a Christ... |

| Christina Aguilera makes a comeback on American Idol - May 27, 2010 | Pop sensation Christina Aguilera made a wonderful comeback on last night’s finale of American Idol.
We all remember the powerful voice of the young and innocent Christina Aguilera of the late 90s, with her early hits “Genie in a Bottle” and “What a Girl Wants.” And a few years later, how her transition to an edgy, more provocative ‘Xtina’ was a bit shocking after the release of her new album “Stripped.”
Despite the changes in her image, however, her voice continued to shine and her songs remained popular. She had several hits following that album, such as “Ain’t No Other Man” and “Hurt,” but... |

| Christina Aguilera You Lost Me live on American Idol shit or hit? - May 27, 2010 | | It’s fair to say that the last few weeks haven’t exactly been the kindest to Christina Aguilera. Her much-anticipated 4-year-in-the-making return to the musical landscape was in the form of a massively bloated 18 track monster of an album (or so we hear), Not Myself Tonight, despite trying so hard not to be, a rather derivative none-return to form falling down the US charts quicker than the expectation and goodwill of the important people who actually buy records, overpromised, overwrought, oversung, overly long. The only glimmer of hope? The joy of watching her deluded interviews *cough* “Cou... |

| Christina Aguilera is back and she's amped up the sexy - May 27, 2010 | SHE was a Mousketeer who became a genie in a bottle who later became a very dirrty girl. Then went back to basics, had a kid and is now bionic.
We are, of course, talking about Christina Aguilera, the singer who has had a fairly good run in the pop star stakes despite being less controversial than Britney and not as innovative as Madonna.
Already, the Internet is abuzz about her new album, Bionic, and her return to the scene after taking time off to be a mummy to Max Liron Bratman. And she's sexier than ever.
For instance, in next month's German GQ, Aguilera shed her clothes for a raunchy p... |

| Does Christina Aguilera's new album, 'Bionic,' mark her as this generation's ans - May 30, 2010 | She favors the freaky in fashion, the nerdy in men and the bombastic in music. No wonder, as time goes by, Christina Aguilera keeps looking more and more like this generation’s answer to Cher.
This week she even endured a vintage Cher-like bit of critical drubbing. She postponed her new tour - due to poor ticket sales, they say. Aguilera insists she just needs more time to prep the full-on show she wants to give, which will come next year.
In the meantime, she's got a new movie in the can, "Burlesque," in which she stars opposite - you guessed it - Ms. Cher-tastic herself. She also... |

| Xtina Has a Bright Idea - May 30, 2010 | Er, not!
Thankfully Christina Aguilera doesn't push her sense of fashion on son Max, because we have a feeling he might be tormented at nursery school if she did!
We snapped Xtina, hubby Jordan Bratman and their adorable boy at a Memorial Day party over the weekend, but the only things we noticed were Xtina's loud lips and those atrocious aqua pants.
It's like a superhero clown!... |

With her son Max wearing red, and Christina in white and blue, they leant a patriotic colour to the holiday.
Along with Christina's husband Jordan Bratman the family visited friends in Palisades, California.
