Christina Aguilera is getting stripping advice from Dita Von Teese

Christina Aguilera is so intent on giving a good performance in upcoming movie 'Burlesque' - that she has asked Dita Von Teese for some coaching.

The sexy singer will appear opposite Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell, and Cher in the movie - and along with Bell will play an erotic dancer in a burlesque club.
However, fearing she may need a body double if she can't get the moves quite right, it's been reported that Christina has contacted professional burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese for some tips.

“Christina is meticulous in her preparation for anything she does”, a film insider said. “She is already training hard to be ready for this role and has asked Dita for some coaching on the more technical aspects of burlesque dancing. She doesn’t want to have to use a double for anything if she can help it.”

New Clip of Christina Aguilera on Project Runway!

Project Runway: Preview of Episode 9 "Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!" TONIGHT 10p.m. Eastern

And here we have the most blatant title in the history of Project Runway's sixth season. If you don't know what to expect on tonight's episode judging from the title "Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!" then being dense is your particular specialty.

Even though we're quite sure what the designers will busy themselves with on Project Runway tonight, we can bet there are a few surprises left to uncover. There's the identity of the guest judges, and of course the drama that the contestants are bound to find themselves in.

On "Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!", Heidi Klum says the challenge will be on a whole new level. The designers will be creating fashion for a "five-time Grammy-winning, multi platinum album-selling artist," as Tim Gunn introduced. Reading that, it's like the challenge will be reaching several different levels at once.

We all know who this is, since it was announced a couple of weeks ago. That's right, Christina Aguilera will be appearing on tonight's episode of Project Runway.

Given the girl's sense of style, it's no surprise the designers have to deal with sequins and feathers and fur. If they're trying to avoid making their garments a lot less like arts and crafts projects gone wrong, this is one challenge that will definitely test their skills.

The preview for "Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!" already spells disaster, but they always make us expect the worst on these clips. There are a lot of scenes with Tim Gunn shaking his head in disapproval and telling the designers that what they made is too grade-school. It's going to take a lot of high-fashion fairy dust to turn these designs into something Christina Aguilera would like.

It's only a few days before Halloween and already the designers are working on the scariest of costumes. Hopefully, no one ends up like some Bride of Frankenstein (or actually Frankenstein) as some did on the last episode of Project Runway.

The competitors embarked on "A Fashionable New Beginning" and it was difficult to make a new start with new models. Recently divorced women were tough to please when it came to reinventing their wedding dresses. It was, shockingly, Epperson who was eliminated and Gordana who pushed the envelope won the challenge.

Tonight, sequins will shine and feathers will fly as the new episode of Project Runway airs at 10pm on Lifetime.

Deep Cuts of the Decade: the hits of 2003 that you probably forgot

10/14/09 - Out of the first decade of the 21st century, 2003 was an awesome year for music. 2003 consisted of some overwhelming events and inventions in music: In April of '03, Apple introduced the iTunes Music Store to the world, thereby making it easier for everyone to get a hold of their favorite jams.

A song that I am sure was on everyone's iPod at the time was "Me Against the Music" by Madonna and Britney Spears. Speaking of Britney and Madonna, I know we all remember the intense make-out between Madonna and both pop-stars of the time, B. Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

But Madonna wasn't the only one causing a scene in '03.

That year the King of Pop, M.J, was arrested on charges of child molestation. It wasn't all bad for M.J though, that same year he released the album Number Ones that contained all his singles that reached #1 around the world. Some other kick-ass albums released in '03 were Meteora by Linkin Park, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.

Beyonce made it in the solo league with Dangerously in Love, and this album led to her winning five Grammys, so it was no surprise that two singles off that album were ranked number one in the US. In This Skin by Jessica Simpson was released. A major album, in my opinion, that was released was Results May Vary by Limp Bizkit. I, for one was excited as hell when this album came out, it was their first album in three years… they had taken a serious hiatus, but they came back strong.

To finish it off on the album front, our beloved Brittney Spears came out with In the Zone and Blink-182 hit us with their self-titled album. Along with these stellar albums from 2003, there was an insane amount of excellent songs. Here are 40 of 2003's top 100. Get ready for some extreme nostalgia:

1) "Crazy in Love"- Beyonce ft. Jay-z
2) " Hey Ya!" - Outkast
3) "Get Low"- Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz
4) "Stacy's Mom" - Fountains of Wayne

5) "Beautiful" - Christina Aguilera

6) "Right Thurr" - Chingy
7) "Ignition"- R.Kelly
8) "In Da Club" - 50 Cent
9) "Cry Me A River" - Justin Timberlake
10) "Shake Ya Tailfeather" - Nelly & Murphy Lee
11) "Landslide"- The Dixie Chicks
12) "Picture" - Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow
13) "Get Busy" - Sean Paul
14) "Milkshake" - Kelis
15) "Girl all the Bad Guys Want"-Bowling for Soup

Who could forget Chingy's "Right Thurr" and his fun times at the "Holidae Inn," or the "Magic Stick" 50 Cent and Lil' Kim kept going on about. It's been a while since we've heard some wicked tunes like those of 2003. But we will always have these songs and many more to remind of us of the good times.

Christina Aguilera keeps marriage alive with 'naked Sundays'

Editor's Note:
Us Christina Aguilera fans know just how much of a sensual being Ms. Xtina is, and here we find out a little more about how she bounced back to the fantastic curves our eyes love to feast on.

-----------------------

Being a mom doesn't mean being totally matronly for singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera who said she's happy to keep her marriage alive by prancing around in the nude and enjoying what her and husband Jordan Bratman call "Naked Sundays".

In a recent interview with Britain's Cosmopolitan, the 28-year-old star says that even after having her son, now 20-month-old Max, she feels sexiest when she's stark naked.

"I think women are such sensual beings. And, I mean, I'm attracted to men ultimately -- I'm married and I love my husband and I love what we do together," she told Cosmo.

Unlike vagina-fan and fellow celeb Megan Fox, Christina, who posed nude for GQ in 2006, is open about her sexuality but doesn't do it for media attention or shock-factor.

Of their shared nakedness, Aguilera says her husband and her share bodies to share moments.

"It's important to keep the marriage alive, to spice it up a little."

Adding, "We have to be the coziest couple around. We have something called naked Sundays," says the star.

"On Sundays we just do everything in the house, and we're just cozy and laid back. We don't need to go anywhere, we're just with each other. We do everything naked. We cook naked."

The star has a hot body to go with their Sunday dinners. After giving birth to Max less than two years ago, Aguilera hit the gym with celebirty personal trainer Tee Sorge, who has trained Aguilera for the past three and a half years. In order to get back to post-baby sexiness, Christina used a variety of workout moves to help get her there.

"Christina does biceps curls with 15-pound dumbbells and chest presses with 20-pounders," says Sorge, who suggests lifting heavier weights for a more sculpted and fat-burning effect and mix it cardio to your routine.

"I throw in a minute or two of jumping rope, stair climbing or boxing after every few toning moves Christina does to keep her heart rate up and really maximize the number of calories she burns," says Sorge.

Of her baby bounce-back trick?

"Christina worked out with me until she was eight months pregnant--and then started back up a few months after [her son] Max was born," says Sorge. "That's what helped her look so good during her pregnancy--and snap back so quickly."
