Update 1-21-10: You can see more photos of Christina Aguilera at the Golden Globes here.
Christina Aguilera covers the November issue of Cosmopolitan UK. In the issue, she opens up about sex and marriage. She also talks about balancing being a mother with her career.
On Sex and Marriage: "I feel sexiest in the nude....[My husband, Jordan Bratman] has a way of making me feel sexy...When you see something you dislike and your partner looks at you and embraces it, it makes you feel good. You know, the scars of life are beautiful." Christina also says, "It's important to make time for yourselves. I don't like schedules - I don't think sex should be scheduled. We all have our little turn-ons and the things that make our romance spicy, so you just have to tap into what that is for you, and keep experimenting."
On Balancing Career and Motherhood: "It's important for me to be the first person he sees when he wakes up and the last thing he sees when he goes to bed…But as far as it affecting me creatively, - like, 'I shouldn't be wearing that because I'm a mom,' - no. Because that wouldn't be fair to me. It's important to keep a strong sense of yourself when you're a mom. You're still you, and you can still be confident in your sexuality. I'd never give up my musical or artistic side just to be a mother. There's got to be a balance and I want to set that example, as the kind of woman I want my son to respect."
Cosmopolitan UK also put together a photo gallery of some of Christina's past looks here. Christina has a fragrance out in the UK and Europe now called By Night. You can see the commercial here.
Christina Aquilera was recently named the global spokesperson for World Hunger Relief. She is visiting Guatamela to see what "hunger means" and witness first hand how hard it is for the poor people in Guatemala. Guatemala has the fourth highest child malnutrition rate in the world.
She says, "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 Concepcion struggle to feed their children. I don't think I can ever forget these images."
Christina also sings in a World Hunger Relief PSA called Hope Is In Your Hands. Take a look:
Christina Aguilera's Sexy By Night Fragrance Commercial
Here is Christina's sexy new commercial for her By Night fragrance. The fragrance is a fruity oriental and is launching in Europe in October. You can find out more details here and here. In the commercial she strips down and then appears to spray on her evening dress behind a screen. Take a look:
Gourmet Food Trucks Grow in Popularity During Recession
The gourmet food truck trend is not going anywhere. In fact, gourmet food trucks are the hot new date place during the recession. The truck owners post their locations on Twitter and customers gleefully track them down for some tasty, yet inexpensive dining. The trucks are especially popular in the Los Angeles area; Christina Augilera, David Arquette and Playboy bunnies have all been spotted dining a la truck.
Erica Cohen, 34, began her career at an upscale restaurant group but scaled down her dream of opening a traditional burger joint because it seemed so risky during the recession.
So, for $30,000, Cohen and her business partner leased a boxy truck complete with a kitchen and an order window.
Their hot pink truck, called "Baby's Badass Burgers," flaunts a logo of two buxom cooks who could double as pin-up models and sells gourmet mini-burgers. Parked off Hollywood Boulevard, the truck draws workers like Lara Yturriaga, who ordered a Cougar -- two mini burgers topped with St-Andre cheese and black truffles.
"I'm on a quest this whole month (to eat at) 10 food trucks," Yturriaga, 25, said. So far, she's tasted Indian crepes and Asian-style meat in a rice-patty bun.
"I like that it's always something different," she said.
Many operators use Twitter to tell customers where they're going next. 'Kogi,' which serves Korean barbecue tacos, was among the first to use the free social media site.
You can track down the Kogi taco truck at twitter.com/kogiBBQ. You can track down Baby's Bad Ass Burgers (like Christina Aguilera just did in Venice) at twitter.com/babybbs.
Video: Christina Aguilera Tears Up in Revealing Interview

Here's a teaser of the interview which will air on E! on September 2nd:
Christina Aguilera Surprises Perez Hilton on His 31st Birthday
Christina Aguilera was the surprise performer at Viper Room Saturday night for Perez Hilton's 31st birthday party. She had a full complement of backup dancers and a fierce leopard print leotard. Take a look:
Christina then later sang Happy Birthday (a la Marilyn Monroe) to Perez. Here it is:
Christina sounds absolutely amazing a capella. No music, no nothing -- just her fabulous voice.
The rumors that Christina Aguilera would be designing for Topshop have been quashed by Elle UK.
However, our friends at Topshop have confirmed to Elleuk.com that it's not happening. This year Topshop will be focusing on the best in British design talent, including a collection from Biba legend Barbara Hulanicki, whose collection in the 1970s defined the decade. Her collection of body-con dresses, palozzo pants, and suede jackets is set to lauch April 2008.
That's too bad. It would have been interesting to see what Aguilera and Topshop came up with. She's already had so many different looks during her young career. (via Catwalk Queen)
Christina Aguilera may be designing
a fashion line for Topshop. Billionaire Sir Philip Green (who signed Kate Moss for his chain Topshop) is said to be courting Christina with a very lucrative deal.
According to the Daily Mirror, Christina Aguilera may be the next boldfaced name to design for U.K-based megastore Topshop.
Following the massive success of model Kate Moss' collections, the chain's owner is reportedly offering the pop princess a similar deal. (However, rumors suggest that Aguilera would not be replacing Moss. Rather, their lines would co-exist peacefully.)
It is rare to find a big star who is content to do just one thing and do it well. To be a true superstar, you really have to have a clothing line. And a perfume. And a shoe line. And maybe a makeup line. We can't imagine what Christina's first fashion line would look like. She changes looks so often...perhaps a few 40s-inspired and some Supergirl-type catsuits? We could see that happening.
Christina Aguilera performed her hit "Beautiful" at the CNN Heroes gala and she was absolutely amazing. Some critics weren't thrilled with her AMA performance, but she was in top form for this performance. She received a standing ovation, which was well-deserved. Take a look:
Christina Aguilera has revealed her new commercial for Target, where her greatest hits album, Keeps Getting Better: A Decade of Hits, goes on sale starting Tuesday, Nov. 11. Christina is costumed as a superhero in a comic book and is singing her new song "Keeps Getting Better." She looks awesome: love the red catsuit and mask. Because of FCC rules, the director used a little creative editing to avoid the end of this line: "Some days I'm a super bitch". The video for the song is really good, but this commercial is even better. Lovesit. Take a look:
Christina Aguilera Cuts Exclusive Deals With iLike and Target
Exclusive deals seem to be the big trend in music. Christina Aguilera's new music video for her song "Keeps Gettin' Better" is available exclusively on iLike. You can watch it at www.ilike.com/christina. It's a great video - we like the supergirl Christina becomes. MTV says Christina's label says the video shows Christina "traveling through time and fashion in an homage to her 10-year career." Christina appeared as a hot sci-fi babe in an earlier image released by her label.
Christina has also cut an exclusive deal for the release of her album. Her album Keeps Gettin' Better - A Decade of Hits will be available exclusively at Target on November 11th. The album can also be pre-ordered here on the Target.com website. This deal sounds very similar to the deal AC/DC cut with Wal-Mart.
