[NEWS] HOLLYWOODLIFE IS PROUD THAT XTINA IS PROUD OF HER FIGURE AND REFUSES TO COVER UP!

Yes, there were gasps when Christina Aguilera appeared on the AMA’s stage last night, November 20th, considerably more curvy than she has ever been. So what?

The singer and The Voice judge looked bodacious and bootylicious in a white, short and skin tight Herve Leger bandage dress.

She had definitely gained some weight but she belted out her hit with Maroon 5′s Adam Levine, Moves Like Jagger, and hit all her notes.

It was a stellar performance and twitter lit up, but sadly and not all that surprisingly I guess — the comments were almost entirely about her weight gain.

Now a source who’s a close friend of Christina’s tells Radaronline that “Christina loves her curves,” and wonders — “since when is it not ok to have curves?”

She is apparently happy in her skin and feels “it’s not what you look like in a dress, it is how you feel and it is about owning your dress.” If you want to wear a tight dress, then own it,” her friend says.

Great point Christina. You looked comfortable. You looked sexy and you performed with confidence. Your silver hosiery and shoes were perfect with your minidress, so who cares what the twitterverse says.

A production assistant at the recent American Music Awards admits to HollywoodLife.com, that “most of us were shocked when we saw how much weight Christina had gained but she didn’t act embarrassed or ashamed. She held her head high and seemed like her usual confident self. Her confidence is what makes her sexy regardless of her weight!” Totally agree!

Furthermore, Christina “feels like she is setting an example for women and young girls, especially Latinas”, according to her friend. ” She’s very proud of her curves. Christina thinks she is a good role model — not everyone is super skinny and she wants girls to embrace their body type.”

Amen!

Furthermore, Christina’s boyfriend, Matthew Rutter, loves her exactly the way she is. Hollywoodlife.com observed Matthew hugging Christina, rubbing her back and indulging in more PDA both in front and away from the cameras at the Skyrim launch event on Tuesday, November 8th at the Belasco Theater, in LA.

So Xtina haters — get lost, worry about your own weight and just try to sing any notes, anything like Christina!

[NEWS] DOES BRITNEY SPEARS' UNRELEASED SONG 'EVERYDAY' SOUND LIKE CHRISTINA'S 'BEAUTIFUL'?

While Katy Perry is readying a "special," yet unspecified new project in the studio with her unreleased 'Teenage Dream' tracks, Britney Spears' own unreleased 'Femme Fatale' song 'Everyday' has just surfaced on the web.

While the piano ballad is quite lovely and surprisingly emotional for the usually robotic, hyper-produced Brit Brit, it doesn't exactly fit with the rest of the booty-shaking anthems on 'Femme Fatale,' so it's not entirely surprising it was left off the album.

"Everyday, the sun comes up again/ A little hope begins/ And it starts with you, 'cause you get me through it/ And everyday closer to the shore/ I smile a little more/ And because of your faith, I get closer now everyday," Britney sings, flexing her pipes without (as much) Auto-Tune to hide behind.

Pretty as the Britney B-side may be, some are already starting to draw the comparisons between the newly surfaced track and another ballad, Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful.' From chord progression to lyrics, the new track may resurrect the old pop princess rivalry between Brit and her fellow ex-Mousketeer Xtina -- or at least between their fans.

Do you hear the similarities between the two tracks? Listen to Britney's 'Everyday' and Christina's 'Beautiful' below and leave your comments!

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' FINDS ITSELF & SOME TRUE BREAKOUT STARS TOO

“The Voice” never explicitly pitched itself as the anti-”American Idol,” but arriving on the heels of a key transition season for “Idol,” and in advance of the fall arrival of “The X Factor,” helmed by former “Idol” center of gravity Simon Cowell, “The Voice” had a narrow window of time to justify its existence, to demonstrate that it could do things that “Idol” could and would not.

Quite by accident, it achieved that with this week’s finale, which celebrated two constituencies historically underserved by “Idol.” Two of the four finalists were major label refugees: Javier Colon, onetime neo-soul footnote, and Dia Frampton, late of the pop-punk band Meg & Dia. The other two finalists, Beverly McClellan and Vicci Martinez, were openly gay, notable because of how silent the “Idol” universe has been on homosexuality.

In the end, on Wednesday night’s result show, the second chance beat out the big break. Mr. Colon was the winner, and Ms. Frampton placed second: two professionals given a chance to be professional once more. Each of them, though, are fighting in a different weight class than they used to.

Ms. Frampton, whose outfits became more flapper-like as the season progressed, traded the transgressive sass she displayed in Meg & Dia for understated soft-rock balladeering, delivering covers with intelligence but no edge. Mr. Colon, who released two albums of tender but tepid soul on Capitol, refashioned as a gentle lite-rocker, added flair to his renditions of songs by Coldplay and Sarah McLachlan.

Of the top four - better than most top fours in “Idol” history - Mr. Colon was the most predictable and benign. Ms. McClellan and Ms. Martinez, powerhouse singers and raucous performers, were this season’s true breakout stars.

On Tuesday’s final performance show, Ms. Martinez’s duet with Cee-lo Green, of Pat Benatar’s “Love Is A Battlefield,” was the standout, with the two squaring off in warrior outfits while surrounded by what could have been the Thunderdome pre-school dance troupe. Ms. McClellan’s astonishingly restrained version of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” sung with Ms. Aguilera, wasn’t far behind.

In the way that dog owners come to resemble their dogs, or vice versa, these celebrity coaches ended up with personality and attitude matches: Ms. Martinez, an unpredictable firebrand like Mr. Green; Ms. McClellan, an unalloyed vocal powerhouse like Ms. Aguilera; Ms. Frampton, with the polite confidence of Blake Shelton; and Mr. Colon a feather-light slickster like Adam Levine.

How these pairings were formed over the course of the very compact season - only about two months from first audition round to finale -often had the thrill of the random. Structurally, “The Voice” has been a frenzy, with rules and segments that appeared to be cut from whole cloth each week, or culled from the discard pile of could-have-been “Idol” improvements. Blind auditions! Face-offs in a boxing ring that were really just duets! Early-round performances with Broadway production values! Some rounds allowed for days of voting, some just one. Some eliminations were broad and brutal, wheat sent off with the chaff, and other contestants overstayed their welcome. (Sorry, Thompson sisters.)

Most importantly, “Idol” is at root an adversarial show, judges vs. contestants. “The Voice” privileges collaboration between the aspirants and the judges, who also serve as mentors, participating in the week to week song selections and arrangements, and appearing side by side on the finale. This is a no-hurt zone. Over the course of the season, the coaches went out of their way not to say anything negative to any contestant, even ones coached by others.

Those judges were all at different stages of their careers - Ms. Aguilera and Mr. Levine on the decline, and Mr. Green and Mr. Shelton on the rise - but they each remained invested throughout the season. That meant that on any given week, “The Voice” deployed more legitimate talent than “Idol” would, even in its most recent, star-heavy season. Without the coaches as anchors, “The Voice” would have slipped off the rails several times. (There’s no need, though, to continue the garish all-judge performance numbers next year - no one deserves those.)

Mr. Green, as it happens, is a mystic poet in addition to being one of the most vibrant and dangerous singers in contemporary soul. Ms. Aguilera had more of a sense of humor than she’s ever shown before, and Mr. Shelton was simultaneously wide-eyed and cheekily curmudgeonly. By contrast, Mr. Levine only revealed that he has narrow taste - he admitted to not recognizing hits by Rascal Flatts, Adam Lambert and the Script sung by the contestants.

Presumably Mr. Levine will have acquired a radio before next season. And for a show that thrived on strange twists, there should be room for more. How about letting the coaches steal contestants from each others’ discard piles? Or having viewers vote for singers they can’t see, just as the judges do? And how about giving the host Carson Daly — squarer than ever, not nearly as comfortable as he is on his late night show — a massage before each show?

“The Voice” initially relied heavily on its blind audition gimmick to stand out — who wouldn’t want a spinning chair to enter and exit conversations at will? — but the show sustained interest long after identities were revealed. In making Mr. Colon the show’s winner, America didn’t just vote for the voice - it voted for the most obvious pop star of its finalists, something even “Idol” doesn’t always do. For now, “The Voice” is just a new model for proving the old rules, but it’s risky and surprising: it could be much more.

The top 8 finalists from “The Voice” will perform at the Beacon Theater August 6

[VIDEO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA TALKS BEAUTY

Last night one of my rock n' roll dreams came true. There I was, lil' old me, standing in my tiny space waiting to interview the winner of NBC's The Voice Javier, and runner up Dia. I looked up and Stevie Nicks was standing in front of my face in all her black clothed gypsy perfection. I was speechless because directly beside her was Adam Levine. Adam had some really skinny jeans on. Just saying. Basically, I turned into the super nerd + music fan that I really am, instead of the super cool Buzznet camera girl I should have been!

I had an amazing time. Xtina and Beverly stopped by to talk about their vision of beauty. Ryan Tedder from One Republic wore white jeans. My favorite Nakia came by to laugh with me and dance around.

[NEWS] THE DIRRTY DETAILS ABOUT CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S UPCOMING ALBUM


Rob Lewis:
"I can tell you that what you will see and hear from Christina will be different, original, and probably against the grain: the true form for Christina ... always re-creating herself."
Tricky Stewart:
"It's just great. I wouldn't say that it's alternative, I wouldn't say that it's different; Christina's always been an artist that moves the bar and that's what the great ones do. They don't stay in the same place for too long, and this album is just another move for her. I really feel it's one of her best bodies of work that I've heard since Stripped. I think it's really, really amazing and I think it's well put together. "She's mixing it up again. She's singing R&B again, she's doing pop. She's doing it all, but she's found a way to make it all meet in the middle because she's so many different things."
Sia Furler:
"One of the songs is "the best singing she does since Beautiful" and another one is an "awesome, catchy, Christina-song". Another one is a song in honor for her son Max Liron Bratman. "It´s almost like a lullaby."
Ladytron:
"We were impressed because she had a real deep knowledge of our music - album tracks, not just the singles!". "We went in with no expectations; the whole thing was a massive surprise. But it was incredible. She was so musically talented, a vocalist who really knows her voice. The first takes sounded really amazing, and while we'd made demos, it was only when her voice was on them that it all came to life. It's nice to talk about them, we've been sitting on this for a while."
Christina Aguilera:
I think I'm most proud of this work than I have ever been, just because I have worked with so many amazing and incredible talented people, a lot of different collaborations, working with a lot of artists that I really love and listen to, respect and admire. Sia, the singer, songwriter has done some work with "Breathe Me," one of her main, amazing beautiful songs, we did a lot of work on this record together and she's just a complete gem, she's truly just a talented force to be reckoned with and I so enjoyed her company. I think we really created some super crazy magic together. I got the chance to sort of write with Santogold, M.I.A., Ladytron, artists that I really love. The overall versatility of this record is truly something special for me, I actually experimented with so many types of textures and sounds of my voice that I've never showcased and I've never even really knew that I could do. Working with so many different people, I really kind of wanted to step into their worlds, them into my world, and just get the best of both worlds and see what happened, and really experiment which is honestly what I try to do with every record so that I'm not making the same song over and over, and over again. I really like to step outside of my own box and really check out artists and this was the first time that I really collaborated with so many at once and it was just so exciting for me and the result was just magic and I just can't wait to share it all with you guys. I'm dying to share some of my titles of the record, some of the songs off the album because they're really special and just interesting to hear within itself, but soon enough guys, soon enough, I promise that it will be well worth the wait. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy on the record and as I said it's versatility is really special and it's something that I've never actually done before and being so versatile both vocally and musically, a lot of good stuff in store.
