Christina guests on Pussycat Dolls Live At The Roxy - 2002
The Roxy Theatre in LA saw Christina Aguilera make a guest appearance with the cabaret-inspired dance troupe, the Pussycat Dolls.

The show depicts a journey through time for the dance troupe from the early days of glamorous and sophisticated cabaret to today’s sexy, sleek and stylized dancing combined with rock-and-roll. Other celebrities such as Carmen Electra have also made guest appearances in the past....

Aguilera has shelf life - Sep 05, 1999
Yes, she is another comely former New Mouseketeer with a chart-topping debut single (Genie in a Bottle), but expect Aguilera to have a longer shelf life than Britney Spears. She has a sultry, expressive voice that could give Mariah Carey a run for her money, and that voice is put through its paces on this debut, which ranges from simmering dance-pop ditties to sleek Motowny numbers and an over-the-top showtune from Disney's Mulan.

Like Carey and her diva ilk, however, Aguilera has a tendency to over-emote. The 18-year-old also could broaden her subject matter, which tends to dwell on being t...

Girls like 8-year-old Kelsie Templin are a challenge for the toy industry. Unlike boys in the 8-to-12 age group, who seem easy to please with video games and action toys, Kelsie and her peers are in a fuzzy, in-between stage. Kelsie, for example, likes to collect stuffed animals, but she also enjoys more grown-up activities like shopping at Claire's Stores, creating picture frames for her room and listening to tunes by pop star singers Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

”I don't like action figure toys and babyish dolls,'' said Kelsie, who lives in Pembroke Pines, Fla.

Christina's high hopes - Jul 07, 2000
Christina Aguilera has just taken a crash course in fame. Apparently, she has passed with honours. In just under a year, the pop singer has sold six million records, taken a Grammy Award for best new artist (beating Spears and favourite Macy Gray) and made dozens of international TV appearances.

Her name is cited alongside the trendiest of the trendy: Britney Spears, Eminem, Fred Durst, N'Sync. If magazine covers are a measure of success, Aguilera has certainly joined the big time: in July she graced the front of Rolling Stone just two months after Spears.

"I love singing the blues," Aguilera confessed to her adoring fans, who waved fluorescent green wands and screamed all night. "Etta James is o...

Christina Aguilera's recent Rolling Stone cover -- in a cropped tank top with her denim cutoffs unzipped and falling down to reveal her skinny midriff and a teensy, weensy bikini bottom -- may seem risque to some people.
