WENN.com Christina Aguilera has been getting a lot of criticism about her body shape recently having fluctuated in weight over the last couple of years. But the American singer is allegedly taking help from British singer Adele on how to deal with all the cruel taunts. The new mum is reportedly helping Christina feel more comfortable in her skin and to not bend to pressure from fans and the industry to drop the weight. A source told National Enquirer: " Now Adele has become Christina's secret weight mentor, calling her regularly to dish on dieting horror stories and offer advice on clothes that best flatter the fuller figure." Although Adele has slimmed down since her first album, 19 , hit the charts, the Londoner has not become a skinny minny like other popstars. The source said: "Christina is one of Adele's very few Hollywood friends. "They joke all the time about how they're forming a fat girls singing club to support other musicians with weight issue

Speaking at the Billboard/Hollywood Reporter Music Conference, she said: "I've not actually seen a full episode of any of the other music shows. I saw the commercials early on of 'American Idol' of Simon being a d**k. I was like, 'Man, that's not what it's about!' I didn't want to treat people like that. I wanted to do 'The Voice' to show that we can be positive. We don't have to knock people down." Christina also claimed she has to be tough to survive in the music business because people will try to walk all over her. She explained: "It's hard being such a powerful woman in the business. I'm known for not always being warm and fuzzy, because you'll just get bulldozed over. You learn to put up this little protective shield, but it's because of something. In my music, I come off as being very open about being insecure, vulnerable and sensitive sometimes. Then I'll go onstage and be this powerhouse force to be

She was wearing big black boots, a ripped-up leotard of sorts, a big curly pink and purple wig, and a crown. Any guesses, anyone? Either way, the star looked like she was having a blast.

Jersey Shore Star Deena Cortese Dishes On Difficult Final Season | Home | Nadya Suleman Aka Octomom And The House That Porn Built October 27, 2012 05:10 PM by Megan Wilson In recent years there have been quite a few Photoshop Scandals, and Christina Aguilera seems to be the latest victim. NBCs The Voice star just released some new print ads for her new fragrance, Royal Desire. Unfortunately, fans are finding the ads a royal mess . While the pictures are believed to be two years ol! d, they are now an inaccurate, distorted, much thinner than now portrayal of the star, and have some MAJOR Photoshop flaws. This recent Photoshop blunder came on the heels of another photoshop blunder that had legal ramifications. LOreal filed a complaint against Diors print ad for some mascara featuring Natalie Portman, stating it over-promised the effect the product would have, and eventually got the ad banned in UK. This new ad from Christina Aguilera does pretty much the same exact thing. The a

With less than a month until Christina Aguilera drops her new album, Lotus , the singer has revealed the names of the songs that made the album's final cut. Thirteen songs will appear on the November 13 album's standard version, including its lead single, "Your Body," as well as tunes with sassy titles like "Red Hot Kinda Love" and "Cease Fire." There are also two duets with two of her "The Voice" co-mentors on the album, "Make the World Move" with Cee Lo Green and "Just A Fool" with Blake Shelton. The deluxe edition will feature four more tracks, "Light Up the Sky," "Empty Words," "Shut Up" and "Your Body Martin Garrix Remix." Two days before she drops the album, she will take the stage at the American Music Awards. And for anyone wondering what she might do once she gets there, she teased that fans need to look no further than the album's semi-nude cover. "It's ve

Christina Aguilera (Getty Images) Christina Aguilera sure has changed since her Disney days! "The Voice" coach who famously got her start on "The Mickey Mouse Club" in the early '90s paid tribute to her child star past by wearing a vintage Mickey Mouse T-shirt on the red carpet at the Samsung Galaxy Note II launch party in Beverly Hills on Thursday. But, as we have come to expect from the "Your Body" singer, it wasn't just any shirt. Mickey's face was ripped so that the 31-year-old could put her cleavage on display. Her red bra could easily be seen underneath, and there were other holes on the shirt exposing lots of skin. Aguilera completed her look with black leggings, a studded leather jacket, and an animal print cap. Her hair is still dip-dyed reddish, which coordinated nicely with Mickey Mouse's shorts. Presumably Aguilera was going commando as she recently announced was her preference (so nice of her for sharing!) but that's ab

Christina Aguilera 's Keynote Q&A today (Oct. 25) at the Billboard/Hollywood Reporter Film & TV Conference was as colorful as her two-toned blonde/bright red hair: She dropped some f-bombs, spoke plainly about her career, and even belted out a bit of a classic tune. "Now everyone is a critic," she said with a smile, on the subject of the tabloid press and online bloggers. "I don't read blogs. It's just God-knows-who in Buttf--- wherever writing hate sh--. You can't take it seriously. I'm sure you've all been hated on at some point by buttf--- people." "It's real talk today," she said at one point to applause.

Released on Sunday, Nov 4 2012 Published Thursday, Oct 25 2012, 12:11 BST | By Robert Copsey | Add comment Here at Digital Spy , we love a good comeback. As you can imagine then, there's been a considerable excitement around Christina Aguilera 's return to music, after 2010's Bionic failed to match the success of her previous efforts. Not that she let it get her down of course, labelling the record as being "ahead of its time". Naturally, she's injected the same levels of modesty into 'Your Body', which is about as subtle as your nan after three flutes of Babycham. "So open the box,! don't need no key, I'm unlocked," she purrs angrily before belting: "Tonight's your lucky night, I know you want it," against a wall of pounding electronics and speaker-shaking beats. The result takes her back to her Dirrtier days - and weren't those some of her best? Watch the 'Your Body' music video below:

At last, it was the final night of battles on

Steal, no more! " The Voice " coaches Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton are all out of steals as Xtina used the remaining one during Tuesday night's battle rounds . The attractive panel is nearing the completion of their eight-member teams who will compete in the upcoming knockout rounds. The night made the coaches' strategies more clear than ever. Aguilera is going after the next pop star, Green is looking for the most unique personality, and Shelton is looking to, well, win again. Mini Divas Collide Christina Aguilera's pop army was led by Adriana Louise and former Disney star Jordan Pruitt, who were paired in the opening battle. The mini divas ran neck and neck (with similar voices, styles and strengths) through the entire process into their performance of Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold," leaving coach Adam Levine baffled as to who really won. Despite Pruitt's experienced voice and stage presence, Aguilera chose Louise,

Jordan Pruitt The battle rounds on season three of The Voice have come to an end. On last nights (October 23) episode, coaches Blake Shelton , Cee-Lo Green and Christina Aguilera paired up their last few singers and got them ready for battle with the help of special guest mentors Green Day s Billie Joe Armstrong , Matchbox Twenty s Rob Thomas , and Michael Buble . With so few spots left before the new knockout round begins, the acts had to really bring it. And with Christina Aguilera having the seasons last steal, there was really no room for error if the singers wanted to make it to the next stage of the competition. Heres what went down.: Adriana Louise vs. Jordan Pruitt : Adriana is finding Jordans years of Disney experience a littleintimidating during rehearsals. Christina and Billie Joe Armstrong agree that both singers have great voices but they need to work on making the song, Katy Perrys Hot N Cold, more their own. Xtina is specifically looking for moreaggression. During the

Pitbull has teamed up with Christina Aguilera to interpolate a pop classic on "Feel This Moment," a new song from the singer's upcoming studio set "Global Warming." A 97-second snippet of the track, which snatches the instantly recognizable synth riff from a-ha 's "Take On Me," hit the Web on Monday (Oct. 22). "Baby, we can parlay/Or baby, we can part-ay!" Mr. 305 raps before Xtina's gorgeous pipes swoop in to handle the hook. "Feel This Moment" is structured an awful lot like "Get It Started," Pitbull's recent single with Shakira that will also appear on "Global Warming," although the verse-chorus combination is bookended by a juiced-up version of the "Take On Me" riff here. Christina Aguilera: 'I'm Very Comfortable With My Body' The "Feel This Moment" snippet is the fourth taste of Pitbull's follow-up to last year's "Planet Pit," due out Nov. 19,

WENN Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were all chart topping singers at the same time and had a shared start in TV series Mickey Mouse Club , but Christina has subtly alluded to the rivalry between the three acts by saying their music was not edgy enough. The Voice judge shocked fans when she ditched her good girl image after 'Genie In A Bottle' with her risque music for the Stripped album, which including black extensions, revealing costumes and naughty piercings. In a report by Perezhilton.com , Christina had some sly remarks to make about N*Sync and Britney, who had worked with Swedish songwriter Max Martin during their heyday and now features on Christina's album. "I'm not sure we would have been able to create the same music had we connected earlier. He did all the Britney and N'Sync songs, and I was doing something a little more daring. But we've gained respect for each other." That's some subtle shade Christina! Chr

TV Watch The Voice By Julia Haskins 10/23/2012 at 07:20 AM EDT Christina Aguilera (left) and MarissaAnn Tyler Golden/NBC The Voice is all about aspiring singers reaching for their dreams. But as Monday night's battles showed, getting to the top can be challenging and as much about courage and confidence as it is about talent and encouragement. "I don't know how to coach anyone to play it safe," Cee Lo Green said. "The real reward is the risk you take." Green pitted two singers against each other who were fighting their own personal battles. Katrina survivor Alexis Marceaux's challenge was to loosen up her technically trained style. Daniel Rosa needed to conquer his nerves and this was his second time on the show. Belting out a spirited version of Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me," Rosa triumphed with a powerful voice that won over Green. Team Adam's Brandon Mahone and Nicole Nelson also struggled offstage. Nelson counted on her
