FIRST LOOK: CHRISTINA AGUILERA STARS AS QUEEN OF 'BURLESQUE'
After slithering her slinky self through countless music videos, pop siren Christina Aguilera will sizzle on movie screens for the first time this fall in the song-filled fantasy Burlesque."It's sexy, it's sensual," she promises. "The whole idea of burlesque has always intrigued me. The art of the tease, the dance, beautiful women — need I say more?"
Her Ali might be a showbiz staple as old as greasepaint: a plucky gal from Iowa who runs off to the big city to follow her dreams and lands a job at a struggling nightclub.
DIRECTOR'S TAKE: Steven Antin proves persuasive with stars
Yet it was her character's heart and grit that caught her eye. Says Aguilera, 29, who has been candid about her own childhood travails: "It wasn't just a girl who comes to L.A. and makes it big. It was a girl who had suffered and felt pain, been in seven foster homes. She doesn't let her past make her a victim. And that to me was so appealing."
Director/writer Steven Antin was impressed by how quickly Aguilera adapted to a new type of performing. "She figured out how it works within weeks. She is a little bit of a freak of nature and a perfectionist. This girl is a movie star."
The novice actress found the perfect mentors in such castmates as Cher, who hasn't had a major film role since 1999's Tea With Mussolini, and Stanley Tucci, recent Oscar nominee for The Lovely Bones.
"I love no-bull-(expletive) women, and she's the best of the best," Aguilera says of Cher, who plays Tess, owner of The Burlesque Lounge. "An original trendsetter in her time and a legend in mine. I found her kind and warm. She had helpful advice and stories for days."
As for Tucci, whose gay stage manager once had a fling with Tess, "he's such a professional and hilarious to be around."
Aguilera's famous pipes get a workout, along with her legs ("I've never danced so much in my life"). She wrote four songs for the soundtrack and does an Etta James oldie.
While music will always be her first love, Aguilera is keen on continuing to act if Burlesque manages to seduce the public. "I think people will definitely feel energized and excited."

EDC stands for ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL which is the biggest RAVE in California! There were an estimated 200K+ people in attendance! Now that's how you throw a freaking party!

Thank god we went back cause if it wasn't for her we wouldn't of seen DJ Laidback Luke tear the stadium up with his amazing remix of Christina Aguilera's 'Not Myself Tonight' Here is a short clip of the song I'm still trying to find a better quality video! Everyone went crazy with that song. Best song off of his set!
[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA HIRES ANTHONY MANDLER TO DIRECT ‘YOU LOST ME’ MUSIC VIDEO
CHRISTINA AGUILERA has hired one of music’s most popular directors for her ‘You Lost Me’ music video. Anthony Mandler has confirmed via his twitter that he will be directing the clip this week. “I love this song I’m working with this week” he writes before making the confirmation. “You Lost Me”. Mandler certainly does not come cheap, since he is now a big name in Pop music’s Elite. Last year, he directed avande-garde music clips for Rihanna, Amerie and Jay-Z. Plus, Beyonce is also one of his biggest clients. It’s good that after ‘Bionic’ was certified moulded cheese, she is still pressing ahead with making things work.
Releasing ‘You Lost Me’ and picking Mandler for its clip is definetely a positive step in the right direction. If you’re still not familiar with Mandler’s work, I’ve posted all of his back catalogue after the jump.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA & EMINEM AMONG SPECIAL GUESTS FOR SEASON FINALE OF "ENTOURAGE"
Here’s some news that will be music to Entourage fans’ ears: Eminem and Christina Aguilera are among the guest stars appearing in the HBO comedy’s season 7 finale, EW.com has learned. The rapper, who released Recovery last week, shot a scene that takes place “at a platinum record party for his album, which by the time this airs will be platinum, I’m sure,” says Entourage creator Doug Ellin, adding: “He has a little conflict—a little beef—with Vince [Adrian Grenier].” While Eminem won’t be performing in the episode, Aguilera will. Like Eminem, the singer plays herself—but she’s also a client of Ari. “She’s doing Ari a favor and performing at a party for him,” Ellin tells EW.com. The Sept. 12 episode, which Ellin hints is a “pretty dramatic season finale,” also features Minka Kelly (whom Vince has his eye on) and John Cleese, as well as pro athletes such as Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees, Phillies All-Star first baseman Ryan Howard, and NBA players Jordan Farmar and Kevin Love.
