[NEWS] STAR SPOTTING: CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT... OBVIOUSLY

If Christina Aguilera opted for a whole new career path as a self-help guru who divulges secrets on how she scored the trifecta of happiness -- gorgeousness, talent and cool-parent status -- we'd sign up for that ish as fast as you can say "Peace out, Dr. Phil." (Come on, guys, don't act like you've never taken some life lessons from that man.)

But the "Fighter" singer, "The Voice" judge (CANNOT WAIT until Feb. 5, BTW!) and cover model for Marie Claire's February issue admits inside the magazine that her successes in life didn't always come easy. Aside from looking FRESH-TAH-DEATH, Christina gets real about raising her son, Max, as a single parent. She even offers an inspirational perspective on being criticized about her looks: She doesn't give an eff. "I've been through my highs, I've been through my lows; I've been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It's noise I block out automatically. I love my body. My boyfriend loooves my body. My son is healthy and happy, so that's all that matters to me."

Stay pressed, haters: Christina's beautiful no matter what you say.

[NEWS] MARIE CLAIRE: CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S COVER SHOOT STYLE

Glam Gal

You didn't even know you knew the lyrics. But one glance at Christina Aguilera is enough to cue a playlist of her hits, from "Beautiful" to "Show Me How You Burlesque," that will stay lodged in your brain all day. It's that singular sensation — to see her is to hear her — that guided the MC fashion team as they crafted looks for the lone female cohost of The Voice.

On the set of our L.A. photoshoot, peekaboo cabaret-inspired pieces and platform heels played to the songstress's vamp persona and vocals. Aguilera, whose weight is often buzzed about, was more than comfortable in her skintight ensembles, pausing between shots to text self-portraits to boyfriend Matt Rutler. The confidence is something to be admired — words can't bring her down.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA TO APPEAR ON AN UP AND COMING COVER OF 'MARIE CLAIRE'

This newest rumor is from a reliable source:

"Christina will be shooting another cover for Marie Claire Magazine in the near future. Look forward to seeing what they come up with. By the looks at the mood boards and ideas proposed, it should be pretty interesting."

In regards to the overall theme of the photo shoot:

"Seems to be quite a few Stevie Nicks references, not sure if that will mean anything."

UPDATE: This has been confirmed via Stephen Sollito.

Hi! yes she did. I didn't do the makeup though. A very talented man named Kabuki did. I just met her out after for dinner. Peter Savic did the hair for it. We had a ball at dinner though. Hope ur well.
