Christina Aguilera
Gossip

Christina Aguilera has gone from full-on sex symbol to full-time mother.

Indeed, the former Dirrty singer has taken a break from recording albums to spend time with son Max. Gotta respect her for that.

But Aguilera is ready to get back in the spotlight; not on stage, but on screen. According to Variety, she'll make her big screen debut in Burlesque, a contemporary musical partly penned by Erin Brockovich writer Susannah Grant.

The role won't exactly be a stretch for Christina: she'll portray an ambitious smalltown girl with a big voice, one that finds success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club.

The outfits Aguilera will likely don on film should remind fans of the days when the word "dirty," applied to Aguilera, didn't refer to diapers. Click on the images below to be reminded of what we mean:

Today is Christmas, but for many of the stars we know and love, the best present ever came earlier this year. We are talking, of course, about celebrity babies!

Here's a delightful photo sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Check out this poignant moment with Jessica Alba, Cash Warren and their daughter, Honor ...

Jessica and Cash are just two of the new parents of 2008, of course.

Jamie Lynn Spears became America's hottest unwed teen mom when she welcomed little Maddie Briann (below, left). Bristol Palin may compete for that title, but hasn't given birth quite yet - though Sarah Palin welcomed baby Trig in April!

Elsewhere, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves pooled their remarkable genes and created Levi, while many big stars, such as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Nicole Richie and Nicole Kidman, became first-time mothers.

Who knew December 18 would be such a huge day for celebrity birthdays?

Two of our five featured celebs are acclaimed actors (and form parts of huge Hollywood power couples). One has been nominated for a dozen Grammys and sold 42 million albums. Another was nearly stripped of her Miss USA crown after cocaine and alcohol abuse (plus girl-on-girl action). The last raps and has been arrested like 79 times.

Give it up for Brad Pitt, Katie Holmes, Christina Aguilera Tara Conner and DMX!

Here's a little photo tribute to the birthday boys and girls. Click to enlarge ...

Christina Aguilera has a beautiful singing voice and enormous breasts.

What other qualifications would one need to sponsor a perfume?

Below, the singer debuts her latest fragrance, "Inspire."

Last week, a handful of readers commented on Paris Hilton's premiere of her perfume, "Fairy Dust," causing our staff to wonder:

Which of these celebrities would you prefer to smell like?

Breaking news: Christina Aguilera has nothing against Britney Spears.

Did anyone think she did? Who knows. But the dirrrty one expressed nothing but praise for her former Mickey Mouse Club cohort in a recent interview.

"I don't pass any judgment on what she does," Christina Aguilera told the UK's Daily Mail. "I always wish Britney nothing but the best. When we both started out releasing records (in 1998-1999), it was a funny time for me."

"It must have seemed as if we were competing, but, in reality, Britney is someone that I used to hold hands with. We were silly little girls together doing the Mickey Mouse Club. What a journey it has been for the both of us!"

These days, with kids and careers (Britney has two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and a new album, Circus, dropping December 2) and busy lives, the young moms don't talk often, but it's not because they don't like each other, she says.

"There are been many stories about the two of us not getting on," Christina Aguilera, who has an 11-month-old son Max, said. "We don't keep closely in touch with one another, and it's obvious how our lives have taken on different directions."

Christina Aguilera's music video for the song “Keeps Gettin’ Better” premieres October 30.

We have a still image from it below, however, and we need to know: does this singer's look keep getting better?

What do you think of Xtina's hair color in the following photo?

Elizabeth Hurley and Christina Aguilera are both talented, beautiful celebrities.

We don't mean to judge either for her enormous breasts... but we've been given no choice!

Hurley and Aguilera were spotted out this week, sporting outfits that must have made babies across the country drool. Was there a push-up bra sale at Victoria's Secret?

Whose cleavage is more impressive?

Seen here, a singer with enormous talent - and even bigger breasts - poses for a picture.

OR DOES SHE?

Is this actually a picture of Christina Aguilera, the mother of Max and the husband of Jordan Bratman? Or is this a shot of an Xtina wax statue?

You decide in this special edition of Real or Wax...

Considering that Friday's debate between Barack Obama and John McCain was viewed by more people than the series finale of Friends, it's safe to say this year's presidential election is popular.

With that in mind Christina Aguilera and her son Max have an important message for all Americans: rock the vote.

With two wars waging abroad and an economy at home that threatens all jobs outside of steady industries such as pornography and celebrity gossip, Aguilera isn't choosing sides in the poster above; she's just asking citizens to educate themselves on various topics and cast a vote accordingly.

Or, at the very least, go watch Tina Fey doing an impersonation of Sarah Palin again. It never gets old.

NOTE: There is absolutely no doubt about this picture of Christina Aguilera nude. Or this one. Girl loves to take it all off sometimes. Props to her.

But there's a photo circulating around the Internet featuring a supposedly naked Christina Aguilera that's debatable at best. The picture comes from September 2004's issue of Interview magazine (which apparently exists).
