The Lemonheads cover Beautiful.

The Lemonheads’ covers album—sampling from acts as diverse as Gram Parsons and Christina Aguilera—will finally see the light of day just in time for the seasonal pucker-stand rush.

On rainy-day ballads heavy with comfy-country guitars and Evan Dando’s ’90s heartthrob languor, clouds quickly clear to make room for energizing electronic guitars and electro-bass beats. Kate Moss croons over the chords of “Dirty Robot” and Liv Tyler sings the breathy vocals on “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye,” a mellow and dark affair that prepares fans for the album closer, an eerie rendition of Xtina’s Beautiful.”

Xtina-Web.Com, I'm Calling You Out

Kelly Rutherford- Rutherford Turns to Aguiled in Divorce Battle.

GOSSIP GIRL star KELLY RUTHERFORD is gaining strength in her battle with her estranged husband - by listening to CHRISTINA AGUILERA's song STRONGER. The actress obtained a temporary restraining order against Daniel Giersch earlier this week (begs21Sep09) after accusing him of following and threatening her.
The couple is in the middle of a messy divorce and custody battle over their son Hermes, two, and three-month-old daughter Helena.
But Rutherford is refusing to let their troubles get her down - and is hoping her public fight with Giersch will inspire women in similar situations.
She tells People.com, "I have it very lucky even though in my personal life right now I’m going through a very challenging time. I do know that there are women that I can help somehow because they’re going through a much tougher time.
"My mom's been through it too. I mean, not in the way that I'm going through it, but she understands. She is hysterical. She sent me that Christina Aguilera song Stronger and that's when I'm laughing and crying at the same time, like, 'Mom, I love you!'"

UHH! What the fuck is STRONGER? They probably mistook Britney's song Stronger for a Christina song which i think is fucking ridiculous! People are fucking lame. But maybe they are were talking about Christina's Fighter. Who knows.
What do you guys think?

Stanley Tucci joins Burlesque cast.

Earlier this week, "Twilight" hottie Cam Gigandet revealed that he will join the cast of the musical "Burlesque," which will be Christina Aguilera's first role on the big screen.

Don't hate us, but we're more excited by this little bit of casting news: Stanley Tucci has signed on to the movie now, too.

Tucci, coming off a great turn as Julia Child's husband in "Julie and Julia," will play the manager of a Sunset Boulevard neo-burlesque club where Christina's character, a small-town girl with a big voice, takes a job.

Tucci will be BFF to Cher, who plays a former dancer at the club who takes Christina under her wing. We're psyched to see divalicious Cher in action, too, in her first big role in a decade.

Production begins Nov. 9; the movie is scheduled for a Thanksgiving 2010 release.

[PHOTOS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA BEING HONORED AT VARIETY LUNCHEON



[NEWS] CHRISTINA WILL BE HONORED TODAY AT VARIETY'S FIRST ANNUAL 'POWER OF WOMEN'

Multi-Grammy Award winner and pop superstar Christina Aguilera will be honored today at Variety’s first annual Power of Women luncheon for her philanthropic efforts to fight hunger as global spokesperson for Yum! Brands, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell’s annual World Hunger Relief campaign (http://www.fromhungertohope.com). Variety is recognizing Aguilera, along with seven other of Hollywood’s most philanthropically impactful women in entertainment, who through her efforts, has made a significant difference to the World Hunger Relief campaign.



The goal of Variety’s Power of Women is to honor high profile women, such as Christina Aguilera, in order to inspire and empower women everywhere to get involved and give back. Christina will be honored specifically for her work with Yum! Brands’ World Hunger Relief effort. The exclusive luncheon will host four-hundred invite-only guests made up of Hollywood insiders and talent, to celebrate, support and pay tribute to Aguilera and others in the entertainment industry for utilizing their positions to further awareness and affect change for various charitable causes.



"As a mom, I can’t accept that even one child could go hungry or that a child dies every six seconds from hunger. That’s why I’m so passionate about this cause,” said Aguilera. "World Hunger Relief makes a huge difference by providing relief for millions of hungry people, especially schoolchildren in developing countries. I hope by lending my voice to this cause I can raise awareness and move millions of people and children from hunger to hope,” added Aguilera.



"We congratulate Christina for her recognition at Variety’s Power of Women for her passion to fight world hunger,” said David Novak, Chairman and CEO, Yum! Brands, Inc. "We are thankful for Christina’s partnership to help us raise attention to the critical hunger issue and save millions of lives.”



Yum! Brands’ annual World Hunger Relief campaign is the world’s largest private sector hunger relief effort, spanning 110 countries, 36,000 KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s and A&W All-American Food restaurants and over one million employees, to raise awareness, volunteerism and funds for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and other hunger relief agencies.



Aguilera is raising awareness of the hunger issue by appearing in the World Hunger Relief campaign’s new global public service announcement and advertisement, made possible by KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, that will start airing at the end of September. The black and white PSA captures Aguilera, accompanied by a guitarist, attracting a crowd on a busy corner in Los Angeles as she sings Beautiful to raise money for hunger relief. Graphics illustrate that everyone can do something to help, "all it takes is a dollar and you, hope is in your hands.” The new :15, :30 and :60 second PSA was created by DraftFCB in Chicago, directed by the award-winning Phil Joanou and edited by Beast in Los Angeles.



Aguilera will also appear in World Hunger Relief restaurant posters with the quote, "Together, we have the power to save lives and go from hunger to hope” and online efforts, including the campaign’s web site FromHungertoHope.com. Consumers can log on to FromHungertoHope.com or go to any KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s or A&W All-American Food restaurant to donate (no purchase necessary).



Global hunger has reached epic proportions this year – with more than 1 billion hungry people around the world – due to the convergence of the global economic slowdown; high food prices; increased competition for products that produce energy; severe droughts and floods due to climate change; and increasing demand from growing economies in Asia and South America.



World Hunger Relief kicks off its month-long campaign in the U.S. starting Sept. 24 (Long John Silver’s/A&W All-American Food), Sept. 27 (Pizza Hut), Sept. 28 (KFC) and Oct. 8 (Taco Bell). The Yum! Foundation will be covering WFP’s administrative fee so that funds collected online and at its restaurants will go directly towards feeding poor school children in the developing world and helping villages become self-sustainable. Every U.S. dollar raised will provide four meals for hungry children.



Since World Hunger Relief launched in 2007, more than 1 million of the Company’s employees, franchisees and their families have volunteered more than 9 million hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. The effort has raised $36 million for WFP and other hunger relief organizations and is helping to provide approximately 160 million meals and save the lives of about 4 million people in remote corners of the world.



Yum! Brands, Inc., (NYSE:YUM) based in Louisville, Kentucky, is the world’s largest restaurant company in terms of system restaurants, with more than 36,000 restaurants in over 110 countries and territories. The company is ranked #239 on the Fortune 500 List, with revenues in excess of $11 billion in 2008. Four of the Company’s restaurant brands – KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Long John Silver’s – are the global leaders of the chicken, pizza, Mexican–style food and quick–service seafood categories, respectively. Outside the United States, the Yum! Brands system opened more than four new restaurants each day of the year, making it a leader in international retail development. The company has consistently been recognized for its reward and recognition culture, diversity leadership, community giving, and consistent shareholder returns.



Christina Aguilera is one of the most successful recording artists of the past decade, selling more than 42 million records worldwide. Aguilera’s 1999 self–titled debut album spawned three #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Aguilera has won four GRAMMY Awards and one Latin GRAMMY Award.



WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, and the United Nations’ frontline agency for hunger solutions. In 2009, WFP aims to feed 108 million people in 74 countries.

Xtina Travels To Guatemala To Help Stop World Hunger (PerezHilton)

Not only has Christina Aguilera lent her voice and image to a PSA for the World Hunger Relief campaign, the pop star just returned from a trip to Guatemala where she witnessed starvation and malnutrition first-hand.

Aguilera and husband Jason Bratman traveled to villages near Lake Atitlan to meet the people of Guatemala that the WFP continues to aid.

Says Christina:

"I wanted to see with my own eyes what hunger means. As a mom my heart just breaks when I see how young mothers… struggle to feed their children. I don’t think I can ever forget these images. The people of WFP do such a great job helping hungry children and mothers. I'm thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful project and incredible team."

According to reports, over 80% of the children in Guatemala are malnourished, placing it 4th highest of the countries with the largest number of malnourished children.

So how has the trip effected Aguilera?

"One of the biggest lessons I’m taking away from this trip is the importance of healthyfood," Christina explained. "If a child under two doesn’t get the nutrients they need, we can never fix the damage later on."

So true!

You continue to inspire us all, bb.

Christina is featured in InTouch for the altruistic work she's doing to help feed the world:

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS OBSESSED WITH THE COLOR RED

Christina Aguilera is obsessed with wearing the color red.



The ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better’ singer – who is known for her trademark platinum blond hair and crimson lipstick – always incorporates the bold color into her wardrobe and make-up because it helps her achieve the classic “Hollywood glamour” look.



She explained to Britain’s Heat magazine: “Red is a color that defines sexy, whether it’s a sultry red lipstick, hot-red stilettos or a glamorous red evening gown. It’s a sensual and feminine color that fuses confidence with classic Hollywood glamour. Women who want to experiment with red should start by incorporating small accents into their look, like red lips or nails. It soon becomes one of those colors you can’t live without.



“I always love red lips, no matter what. I also love the combination of black mascara and a rich scarlet lipstick. Finally, fragrance, because it tops off any look, no matter what the occasion: red carpet, going out to dinner or even going to bed at night.”



The 28-year-old beauty – who recently launched her third perfume, ‘Christina Aguilera By Night’ – says women only need to follow a simple beauty regime to look their best.



When asked about top three tips to looking great, she said: “One: moisturise. I never go out without moisturiser – it’s the foundation for beautiful, glowing skin. Two: sleep. Get plenty of rest. Sleep makes everything look and feel better – your hair, your skin, your nails, everything. Three: hydrate. Drink plenty of water. It’s as simple as that.”

Wanting to see the impact of hunger with her own eyes, the Grammy award-winning artist recently traveled to Guatemala and met some of the beneficiaries of WFP's nutrition programs there. For Aguilera, it was an unforgettable experience.

GUATEMALA CITY - Christina Aguilera just wanted to hug the young woman she met in a Guatemalan village: Concepción, 25 years old, her little daughter clinging to her legs, a second baby on the way.

Concepción was standing in a dirt floor hut, smoke filling the room from a wooden stove. She has no job, no money, her husband has just left her. She said the only food she receives is from WFP.

Aguilera explained: "I wanted to see with my own eyes what hunger means. As a mom my heart just breaks when I see how young mothers like Concepción struggle to feed their children. I don't think I can ever forget these images," the music superstar added.

Rampant malnutrition

Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman traveled with WFP to villages in the Guatemalan highlands near Lake Atitlan, where up to 80 percent of the indigenous children are malnourished. Guatemala has the fourth highest child malnutrition rate in the world.

"The people of WFP do such a great job helping hungry children and mothers,"said Aguilera. "I'm thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful project and incredible team." Her husband added: "This trip was a life-changing experience".

WFP brings life-saving food assistance to some 350,000 people in Guatemala – mostly women and children. It works closely with the Guatemalan government to battle chronic hunger.

"Keep feeding children"

"WFP urgently needs donations to keep feeding some 150,000 women and undernourished children – I want to raise awareness and open people's eyes so they can get the funds they need to keep on working," said Aguilera.

Many of the children Aguilera saw were much shorter than normal for their age - a consequence of not getting enough healthy food at an early age.

"One of the biggest lessons I'm taking away from this trip is the importance of healthy food. If a child under two doesn't get the nutrients they need, we can never fix the damage later on," the singer said.

[NEWS] RECIPE FOR AMAZING ENTERTAINMENT: 2 DIVAS + 1 HOTTIE = AMAZEBALLS

Caliente.



Twilight's Cam Gigandet just signed on to star in Burlesque, a musical film, opposite Cher and Christina Aguilera.



"It's about a girl from the Midwest who moves out to Los Angeles to pursue her career as a singer," explains Cam. "Obviously, it's Christina Aguilera, so she has an amazing voice. She finds a club run by Cher, a burlesque club. And she takes it to a whole new level and, of course, meets me — the love of her life."



The film has been highly anticipated since it was announced last June and the hottie may be just what the movie needs by way of teenage girl appeal.



"I am a struggling piano player, and I'm currently working as a bartender at Cher's burlesque club," said Gigandet of his character. "Christina and I meet, fall in love, and drama ensues."



But, can he sing and dance?!



Absolutely not, he claims, but, "It's a very sexy, sexy movie."



We're not sure if he can act either, but remove that shirt and we'll believe anything he says!

[CHARTS] TOP TEN CUTEST COUPLES IN HOLLYWOOD

In celebration of this adorable union, we’ve picked the 10 cutest couples in Hollywood!

1. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. These are two of our favorite not-quite-household-name actors. When they got engaged, John was super excited to spill the details. “We were here in L.A. and there were unicorns and oceans and clouds,” he said. “She did cry after I cried and we cried and then everyone around us was crying. Then, I think people weren’t really sure what was going on, but they were crying because we were crying. But it was great.” And now I’m crying. [Access Hollywood]



2. Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka. Aside from being the two dreamiest gay dudes ever, they’re also super sweet to each other. Despite the fact that they’re not married yet, the two wear bands on their fingers to symbolize their dedication. Awww. [MSNBC]



3. Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman. Even though Christina has essentially disappeared from the spotlight, it seems to be for good reason since she and her hubby are head over heels. Jordan says Christina is his best friend and she reports that “he always leaves Post-Its by my bed when I wake up in the morning telling me how much he loves me.” [People]



4. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The couple is very open about how awesome their love life is, admitting to having sex on the way to the Oscars and such because they can’t keep their hands off each other. Will said of his wife, “I don’t let a day go past that Jada doesn’t feel like the Queen of the World.” Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be? [Female First]



5. Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams. The couple rivals Zooey and Ben for indie royalty status; they also went casual to avoid a big scene at their wedding since the tabloids almost caused them to break up during their first bout of dating. Mandy has tried to be more off the grid for Ryan who she says is “a good egg. I’m in awe of him—his brain, his passion. He’s truly one of a kind.” [The Hollywood Gossip]



6. Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy. Despite false rumors that the two had tied the knot last week, they’re still very much in love. These two are adorable because they’re two of the funniest people in Hollywood and I’m sure you can imagine the kind of conversations that must go down in their house. They probably have food fights and throw impromptu stand-up nights and cuddle a lot. [The Press Association]



7. Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds. They’re almost never photographed together which is totally annoying since they’re the most beautiful young married couple and really the only one I want to see frolicking around. But they are still the cutest if only for how low key their relationship has been and how obviously bizarre they must be since early in the relationship Scarlett gifted Ryan with her gold-dipped wisdom tooth on a necklace for his birthday. Where do you go from gold-plated body parts? [The Superficial]



8. Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z. The two became official rapper royalty when they got married in 2008. The cutest thing about these two, besides being totally in love, is that they go on double dates with other famous couples and recently went to a Grizzly Bear show in Williamsburg since Solange Knowles has recently buddied up with the band. [PreFix Mag]



9. Freida Pinto and Dev Patel. After the couple fell in love on the set of “Slumdog Millionaire,” it took months and the confirmation of Dev’s mother to find out that the two were actually dating. They’re adorable simply because they look so ridiculously happy when they’re together, even though they have a long-distance relationship with Dev in England and Freida in Mumbai. But they’re also cute because just like in the movie, their love grew from friendship. Freida said, “The friendship blossomed after the film, it got even stronger. This is all new to us. He’s a lovely boy.” [I’m Not Obsessed]



10. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. It’s really hard to tell how much of their relationship rumors are accurate, but these two get to be on the cutest couples list because I feel bad that they get stalked by the paparazzi everywhere they go. It doesn’t hurt that they’re both beautiful and are manning this vampire obsession revival. [People]

[NEWS] 'TWILIGHT' STAR: CAM GIGANDET TO GET 'SEXY' WITH CHRISTINA AGUILERA IN 'BURLESQUE'

SANTA MONICA, California — One is a living legend in music and movies, the other is a living legend about to make her movie debut. Now, Christina Aguilera and Cher are being joined by a red-hot "Twilight" star who will be appearing in his first musical opposite the two famous females: Cam Gigandet.



"I'm shooting a movie called 'Burlesque' with Christina Aguilera in her acting debut," revealed Gigandet when he stopped by the MTV studio recently. "And Cher."



X-tina's fans have been eager to learn details on "Burlesque" since the project was announced last June, especially since it will mark her big-screen debut. Now questions about how good an actress she'll be are made a bit easier by the news that she'll have a talented leading man acting opposite her.



"It's about a girl from the Midwest who moves out to Los Angeles to pursue her career as a singer," explained Gigandet, whose busy post-"Twilight" schedule has him releasing the sci-fi flick "Pandorum" this weekend. "Obviously, it's Christina Aguilera, so she has an amazing voice. She finds a club run by Cher, a burlesque club. And she takes it to a whole level and, of course, meets me — the love of her life.



"I am a struggling piano player, and I'm currently working as a bartender at Cher's burlesque club," Gigandet said of his character. "Christina and I meet, fall in love, and drama ensues."



The next question is an obvious one for "Twilight" fans: Will Cam sing and dance? When we asked the star, he hesitated to even call "Burlesque" a musical. "That's interesting — I don't know. There's music in it, and they do sing. I mean, they're at a burlesque club, so they do sing and dance," he explained. "It's a very sexy, sexy movie."



But this much Cam would confirm: He will not be singing any two-part harmonies with his new leading lady. "Oh right, a duet with me and Christina?" he laughed, looking forward to the film that begins shooting in December. "That would be like Kermit the Frog and Christina. I can't sing."

Polls Apart - Token Raps in Songs (Best and Worst)

6. Credibility is hard to come by - especially if you rose to fame gurning like a simpleton on the Disney channel. You could try and earn it by challenging both yourself and your audience with an artistically rich and varied output that seeks to interpret our cultural melee from a fresh perspective. But then that all sounds a bit like hard work... Alternatively, you could just buy in one of those hip-hoppers, absorbing urban cool by osmosis and further reducing one of modern America’s most powerful indigenous art forms to little more than a neutered pop sideshow. It worked for Justin and Britney, so why not Christina? Looking like a walking VD clinic, Aguilera cast off her wholesome image with ‘Dirrty’ - a song whose squalid video revelled in sthenolagnia and featured faux-lyrical outrage that makes Jodie Marsh look like Kiera Knightly. Chuck in the obligatory rap verse courtesy of Redman and you essentially have the nearest thing to a nation-state masturbating furiously whilst looking at a nude photo of themselves.
