Aguilera. (Getty Images) Handler. (Courtesy of E!) Chelsea Hander has gotten a lot of mileage out of jokes about Christina Aguilera's questionable fashion decisions, so we were a tad bit worried when the singer appeared on "Chelsea Lately" last month and the two women appeared to make nice. We wondered: Will that be the end of Handler's Aguilera jokes? Thankfully, the answer to that question is no. On Thursday, the talk show host welcomed Blake Shelton as a guest on her E! talk show, so to have some fun with the strapping country singer, she dressed like his "The Voice" co-star Aguilera. For the segment, Handler donned a black bustier bodysuit a nod to Aguilera's racy star-spangled ensemble at the American Music Awards earlier this month with fishnet stockings and black boots. The 37-year-old comedian was a little more conservative than Aguilera was, showing less cleavage and covering up with a sparkly jacket. [Related: Christina Aguilera Shares Her &#

The pop titan's powers haven't completely left her, but her recent artistic choicesand the media's depiction of themhave helped obscure them. Sony Christina Aguilera hasn't been able to stick a landing lately. Her last album, 2010's Bionic , kicked up a nanostorm of pre-release hype with outr collaborators (M.I.A., Santigold, Ladytron, Peaches, Le Tigre) and a strong-selling predecessor (2006's jazzy, acclaimed Back to Basics )and then flopped, becoming her worst-selling record yet and spawning a failed movie, Burlesque . But a comeback seemed possible. The intervening years up saw Aguilera renew her relevance with a stint judging The Voice that brought her a bona fide (if not universally loved) hit, "Moves Like Jagger." For her new album Lotus , she lined up an unexciting but reliable slate of songwriters and producers: Max Martin (the most successful hitmaker of the past decade), Sia (Australian indie-pop singer turned solid purveyor of demos for R

For the third season in a row, Christina Aguilera failed to produce a champion on The Voice . The five-time Grammy winner's final mentee, Dez Duron , was voted off during the Nov. 27 episode. Cody Belew , from Cee Lo Green 's team, was also sent home just one week before the quarterfinals. However, winning the show doesn't ensure a contestant will have a successful career in the music industry. PHOTOS: Before they were on The Voice ! "[My former mentee] Chris Mann , prime example. Came in fourth last year. It's like ultimately, who's the real winner? Who's Javier? Who's Jermaine? At this point, I think it's all about Chris Mann, thank you!" she sniped to Us Weekly of season 1's Javier Colon and season 2's Jermaine Paul .

Dez Duron, Cody Belew, Trevin Hunte, Carson Daly NBC It was a shocking and sad elimination night on The Voices live results show last night (November 27). Two great singers received the boot, leaving one coach without a team. So who went home? Christina Aguilera s last man standing, Dez Duron , was cut from the show in a double elimination. Although Duron did not give his best performance on this weeks live top eight performance show (Dez performed a crooner version of Justin Bieber s U Smile ), the results were still surprising as hes given remarkable performances in the past. Sending love & respect for @DezDuron!!, Christina said on Twitter not long after the results were revealed. You were amazing on #TheVoice & your journey is only beginning. #TeamXtina family always! Dez, as you might recall, originally auditioned in season two of the hit reality singing competition. After singing a Backstreet Boys song, not one coach turned their chairs for him although Xtina expressed

Recently Christina Aguilera has shown a more substantial side of herself as a judge on NBC's "The Voice" as well as a very in-your-face performance on this year's "American Music Awards" wearing not much more than a corset and a smile. Her weight gain has caused a fire storm of controversy from quotes that were never made by Aguilera in a Billboard magazine interview, to snarky comments on blogs and social media. Aguilera has gone on record saying that she's comfortable with the way she looks now, and she's not alone. Here's a look at other singers who have embraced their bodies and abstain from the 'stick-thin' industry ideal. Adele After surgery to repair her vocal chords, Adele debuted a much svelter figure at last year's Grammy Awards, prompting tongues to wag about whether the singer was losing weight to conform to the 'ideal' thin look in Hollywood. This was especially controversial since Adele had been so outspoken

NBC On Mondays episode of The Voice , the remaining eight contestants performed live for America. Christina Aguilera is holding on with just one contestant the handsome Dez Duron left on her team. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton each have two team members and Cee Lo Green has three contestants remaining. The show kicks off with rapper 50 Cent doing a performance with Levine. While 50 Cent may seem like a random guest for The Voice , were glad they are bringing in all different genres of music to the show... we guess. They perform My Life together. PHOTOS: Maroon 5 Brings Hometown Love to Los Angeles If any coach were to "win" this weeks show, it would be Levine, who probably melted a whole lot of lady hearts with his offer to beat up one of his contestants exes. But well get to that later. Team Adam Amanda Brown sings an Adele song, Someone Like You, but with a bit of a! rocker twist. While Aguilera is lukewarm in her praise, Levine says that the judges are just ext

Christina Aguilera has revealed she likes to take romantic hikes with her boyfriend Matthew Rutler but hates the casual footwear she has to wear for them. The 'Voice' mentor loves spending time with Matthew Rutler but admitted the footwear for hiking is not her usual choice. She said: 'My boyfriend and I started hiking. He got me in a pair of sneakers - no heels, no red soles. So out of character for me.' Christina also revealed her son Max, four, - from her marriage to Jordan Bratman - doesn't mind when paparazzi follow them. She explained: 'Paparazzi followed me at my son's soccer game the other day. I was complaining but he said 'Don't worry Mama. They're not taking pictures of you, they're taking pictures of me.'

WENN When Khloe Kardashian suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the X Factor USA , she saw the funny side, but a report has alleged that there was no funny side when Christina Aguilera's trousers reportedly split during a performance on The Voice . In fact, the show's crew weren't even allowed to find the funny side following the National Enquirer's allegations that she became "enraged" when she caught some crew members laughing at her wardrobe malfunction. A source claimed: "Christina felt the back of her pants burst open as an assistant costumer rushed onto the set. She was embarrassed, but made light of it - until she spotted crew members laughing on the sidelines. Enraged, she shrieked curses at them, snarling that if it wasnt for her, they wouldnt have jobs!" The source added: "The group of several crew guys and one female were horrified by hothead Christinas reprimand because theyd been laughing at a story one of them was telling, and not a

Christina Aguilera took on two whole new looks on Tuesday evening's The Voice . She wore black streaks in her bangs, which complimented a bob haircut, a velvet ruby-colored quilted jacket, sexy black leggings and knee high boots, Us Weekly reports. Xtina complemented her look with shockingly red lips and black liner to boot. On last nights episode, the Your Body singer took the stage to perform Let There Be Love along with Dez Duron and Sylvia Yacoub.

November 21, 2012 06:06:49 GMT The two mentors stole the show as they gave a crowd-pleasing performance of 'Just a Fool' on the November 19 episode of 'The Voice'. Barely out from the swarms of praises for her recent American Music Awards performance, powerhouse singer hit the stage once again, this time on "". On the November 19 episode of the show, Aguilera shared the limelight with co-mentor as they gave a simple yet classy rendition of the track "Just a Fool", taken from Aguilera's newest studio set "". The two coaches did not have a battalion of back up dancers nor elaborate sets to help them out with their performance as it was obvious that they wanted to make it all about the song's romantic vibe and smooth country-pop influence. Aguilera and Shelton did show some movements by starting off at opposite ends of the stage before meeting up at the center to croon out the second chorus of the mellow track. The "Your Body&qu

WENN You are beautiful in every single way, Christina Aguilera has famously sung, but now shes facing a backlash over her weight since displaying a fuller figure at the American Music Awards earlier this week. Onlookers were shocked to see The Voice judge and all of her curves accentuated by the lilac wrapover dress sparking some to cry, Whats happened to your body Christina?. The 31-year-old clearly had the fake-tan on the go, but that wasnt what caught everyones attention instead it was a booty that could rival Kim Kardashians.

Christinas Pamela Roland dress was heavily criticised and she was put on the worst-dressed list for the night by VH1. The network said that the gown she wore in w

Christina Aguilera, "Lotus" (RCA) ** 1/2 Christina Aguilera is easily one of contemporary musics best voices. Shes got pipes that music-lovers need to hear at a time when Top 40 radio features studio-enhanced vocals and award shows are full of lip syncing. Thats why her fifth album, "Lotus," is somewhat disappointing not because it isnt good, but because it isnt great. Sure, its an improvement from 2010s "Bionic," a chaotic album that is Aguileras only one not to reach platinum status. "Lotus" is more focused, thankfully, but not as satisfying as her first three releases. The new 13-track album is the singers first music offering since she filed for divorce two years ago. And when shes emotional, she sounds best. The title track kicks off the album nicely as Aguilera sings about starting over. On "Best of Me," she sings: "Words cut through my skin, tears roll down my chin, my walls crumble within." And later in the song she s

Christina Aguilera Lotus (RCA) Christina Aguilera, we've missed you. Even if it seems like you've never gone away. It's been two years since the release of Bionic, the album that took Aguilera from legend-in-training to near-last in the pop line. Between then and now, she's gotten divorced, starred in Burlesque, butchered The Star -Spangled Banner and become a weekly TV fixture via The Voice. But aside from Maroon 5 duet Moves Like Jagger, Aguilera hasn't really seemed like a singer in a long time. Lotus, online and in stores today, will likely change that. It's not a perfect album, but several songs serve as potent reminders of Agulera's talent. She still has a voice that can shake the rafters. People change/Lord knows I've been no saint, Aguilera sings on Blank Page, her mea culpa of sorts. It's a swelling piano ballad la The Voice Within and Hurt. At best, Lotus does exactly that, evoking past tunes and sounds that worked. (Aguilera brings to min

Washington, Nov 18( ANI ): Christina Aguilera has revealed that her biggest hits are inspired by her past bullying experiences. The 'Your Body' singer admitted that though she is impacted by the negativity around her, she channels her feelings into her music. "I have definitely experienced forms of bullying, and that's why it's so important for me to write songs like 'Beautiful' and 'Fighter'," Contactmusic quoted the singer as telling Dateline NBC. "On this current record, 'Lotus' is all about being an unbreakable flower that survives the test of time. Throughout the roughest of surroundings and harshest weather conditions it remains strong and thrives," the 31-year-old star added. (ANI)

People News Nov 17, 2012, 21:04 GMT Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera's bullies have inspired her biggest hits. The 'Your Body' singer - who has regularly been criticised for her curvier figure recently - admitted she is impacted by the negativity but channels her feelings into her music. In an emotional interview with 'Dateline NBC', the 31-year-old star said: 'I have definitely experienced forms of bullying, and that's why it's so important for me to write songs like 'Beautiful' and 'Fighter'. 'On this current record, 'Lotus' is all about being an unbreakable flower that survives the test of time.

The provocative singer also opened up about her relationship with her four-year-old son Max and insisted she is doing everything she can to give him a better childhood than her own. Christina became visibly emotional when

There was a moment on The Voice s live show earlier this week that the growing multitude of Voice followers might have missed, if they werent paying attention. In consoling pop-singing Brooklyn waitress Adriana Louise, whod just been eliminated from televisions fastest-rising singing competition, Christina Aguilera reminded Louise that she had once been on a TV talent competition herself Star Search and had lost. It was a striking admission from a chart-topping five-time Grammy Award winner with a new album Lotus , released Nov. 9 and platinum pipes. Minutes earlier, before softening the exit for her Voice protege, Aguilera had performed a head-turning duet of her new single Make the World Move on the Voice stage alongside her fellow coach and Voice mentor Cee Lo Green. If The Voice works and an unexpected surge in the competitive U.S. ratings charts this season, coupled with an equally unexpected ratings slide for the bigger, flashier The X Factor , suggests that it does

Christina Aguilera's new album, Lotus, signals a "time of freedom for me," the singer says. The record is her first since divorcing record exec Jordan Bratman and signing as a coach on TV's The Voice, and a return to mainstream pop after the flop of her 2010 release Bionic. She took time out in Beverly Hills to talk to dpa about body image, double standards, and what it takes to be a star. dpa: How high are the expectations for this album, and how much pressure are you under, from yourself and others? Aguilera: When you start getting caught up in, oh, I have to put so much pressure on myself to chart a certain way or have quote-unquote hit records, then it takes away from all the honesty and genuine creative process of creating something really special. Some of my favorite things ever, both from myself personally and other artists, aren't necessarily the commercial successes. So at the end of the day, I don't put that kind of pressure on myself. dpa: A lot of

Rich Juzwiak View Profile Email Twitter RSS Christina Aguilera and Lana Del Rey both released collections of new music this week. Neither artist is a great diva in the neo-classic, pop sense of the word, but both have potential. To evaluate their diva status, I will shamelessly crib a comparative schism that Tyra Banks has routinely used on America's Next Top Model : each of them has what the other does not. Christina Aguilera's seventh studio album, Lotus , i! s a stylistic mess. In that respect, it feels like an accurate expression for an artist so lacking in taste; it's almost as if tastelessness is her taste. A mixed bag of attempts at replicating what's happening now in pop, none of Lotus ' petals are quite the same but most sound familiar there's EDM, there's hip-hop, there's piano balladry, there's some vaguely country pop, there's some even more vaguely rock-ish pop. It is absurd that Aguilera has repeatedly referred to the flop that
