Christina Aguilera talks Super Bowl flub, her passion for 'The Voice': Welcome back, girl!

Tonight, NBC’s new singing competition The Voice debuts, and Christina Aguilera has been making the talk show rounds. She talked in detail about her Super Bowl flub with Ellen DeGeneres, explaining that she’d sung the anthem for the Steelers in her hometown since she was seven or eight. “I think I had a moment where I was at the Super Bowl at 30 years old. I took in the moment a little bit too much. Shoot me for appreciating the moment. But I was like, ‘Here I am at the Super Bowl, singing for a team and in front of the world and remembering what it was like to be that young, and look where I’ve made it now,’ and then it’s like, OH. And that night, I knew,” she said, laughing. “I was like, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question. ‘In 2011, what female singer flubbed the lyrics….’”

With Jay Leno, Aguilera talked about all the experience she brings to her team of Voice contestants when it comes to dealing with the ups and downs of show business and getting through mistakes by preparing yourself for the next time, when you want to show people you’re stronger.

New 'Burlesque' clips: Stop me if you've heard this one before

If you liked Chicago and the “Lady Marmalade” video from back in the day, but wished they were just more about booty-shaking, well, rejoice! Because there are two new clips from Burlesque, and that’s exactly what they are. Sorry, Bob Fosse, but these breasts won’t jiggle themselves!

Here’s Christina performing “Express,” which sounds like “Feeling Good,” except without the emotional potency, and “The Gospel Truth” from Hercules, which no one remembers except me. READ FULL STORY »

'Burlesque': International trailer gets it right

If the first Burlesque trailer left you on the fence, you’ll definitely want to watch the international trailer below. It’s a better cut with a more relaxed-looking Christina Aguilera, more dancing, more romance (with proof that Cam Gigandet will run the full gamut: shirtless, shirts without sleeves, shirts with sleeves), more Stanley Tucci (imagine if he’d been in Showgirls), more Kristen Bell (with Julianne Hough), and more Cher. (Not only do we get a tease of her onstage, but we also get to watch her deliver the line “If you fall off the stage, leg extended, boobs up.”) Now, I’m officially in. And still curious about when we’ll see a great Alan Cumming moment in a preview. You?  READ FULL STORY »

'The Tourist' or 'Burlesque': Which duo looks more flawless?

tourist-BurlesqueImage Credit: Peter MountainBefore you answer, look closely. Your gut will say Cher and Christina in the Chicago-esque Burlesque poster because they look like paintings, but the latest shot to be released of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in The Tourist shows her shielding her eyes from the divine light that is bathing him. (Or, she’s just looking for their makeup artist, who really should be commended.) You’re gonna need to see that one blown up, we know.

Cher and Christina Aguilera in 'Burlesque': Watch the trailer here!

Let me just make sure I’m getting this right. It’s Cher and Christina Aguilera (not to mention Kristen Bell and DWTS‘s Julianne Hough), decked out in insanely over-the-top costumes, dancing and singing and backstabbing and applying each other’s makeup in a movie about a little girl with a big voice and even bigger… ahem, dreams? There’s only one possible explanation: Someone waited for gay glitter guru Bob Mackie to fall asleep, then broke into his dreams Inception-style and lifted the entire, fully-formed movie directly out of his subconscious. Take a look below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Christina Aguilera performing National Anthem tonight: Finish the incomplete press-release email!

christina-aguileraImage Credit: Kevin Mazur/WireImage.comThis morning, I received an email with the following cryptic and incomplete subject line: CHRISTINA AGUILERA TO PERFORM U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM AT DECIDING GAME 7 OF THE NBA FINALS ON

Not surprisingly, the body of the email completed the sentence with the highly logical “Thursday, June 17,” but really, what fun is that? I mean, we’re talking about a woman who ended her performance at the recent MTV Movie Awards with a close-up shot of her bedazzled, glowing crotch. So let’s cook up some more entertaining scenarios, because it’s Thursday, and because you need a bridge between pretending to work diligently and taking your lunch break, yes? I’ll get us started:

* CHRISTINA AGUILERA TO PERFORM U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM AT DECIDING GAME 7 OF THE NBA FINALS WITH HURRICANE-FORCE MELISMA
* CHRISTINA AGUILERA TO PERFORM U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM AT DECIDING GAME 7 OF THE NBA FINALS IN A RACY PAIR OF ASS-LESS CHAPS
* CHRISTINA AGUILERA TO PERFORM U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM AT DECIDING GAME 7 OF THE NBA FINALS WHILE FLAUNTING HER VORACIOUS AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY FLUID SEXUALITAAAY

Your turn.

Erin Andrews once boogied with Darrin's Dance Grooves. What music video dance have you always wanted to learn?

One reason to love Erin Andrews just a little bit more: The ESPN correspondent/Dancing With the Stars contestant once gave a testimonial in an advertisement for Darrin’s Dance Grooves. (See the commercial after the jump.) And anyone who once yearned to learn ‘N SYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” dance automatically gets my vote! (Of course, this is coming from someone who attempted to learn Britney Spears’ “Oops…I Did It Again” dance by spending a half hour rewinding a Will & Grace episode that showed Jack teaching Grace the first steps. Oops…I wasted my time!)

Now here’s the important question: What music video dance have you always wanted to learn? Ten years ago, I somehow taught myself Christina Aguilera’s “Come On Over” using her single — which included a music video and, sadly, no belly rhinestones — and an Indigo iMac, but for whatever reason, neglected to learn Britney’s “(You Drive Me) Crazy.” Now I have an excuse to pick up Darrin’s VHS!

'American Idol': Christina Aguilera reveals she'll appear on the finale

Christina-AguileraImage Credit: Lester Cohen/WireImage.comOn the heels of visits from Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus, American Idol is welcoming yet another diva to this show this year: Christina Aguilera. The singer revealed yesterday during a radio interview that she’ll appear on the show’s season finale on May 26, according to MTV, although Fox would not confirm the report. There are scant few details beyond the fact that she’ll be singing and that her visit is, conveniently, just a week before she drops her new album, Bionic, on June 8. The first single from the album, “Not Myself Tonight,” has already hit the ‘net, but it leaves something to be desired. Hopefully her next, and better, single will be out in time for her to perform on Idol.

Of this news, I must say: It excites me. Granted, it doesn’t sound like she’ll be mentoring since it’s the finale — and goodness knows this year’s crop could use a little bit of help from a superstar like Aguilera. But I’m just happy to see her. I’ve missed Xtina lately, and I’m ready to welcome her and her Bionic self back with open arms. Personally, I’m hoping that her Bionic reincarnation is a little more Stripped, a little less Back to Basics, if you know what I mean, and I hope she showcases it all on the Idol stage.

PopWatchers, does this news excite you? Are you ready for Xtina’s Idol-rific comeback?

VH1 to launch a slew of (gasp!) buttoned-up programming. Is this a good thing?

xtina-AguileraImage Credit: Frank Micelotta/Getty ImagesVH1 is getting more real — and shockingly unshocking — with an across-the-board programming revamp that will include producing a record 44 original series this year, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Eschewing Flavor of Love and its ilk for more “authenticity” in its upcoming new reality, VH1 will bring viewers dozens of new shows such as You’re Cut Off, which aims to reform spoiled party girls, and Money Hungry, in which contestants can lose up to $10,000 of their own cash if they don’t cut calories. A whopping 40 percent of programming will return to the network’s original focus, music, starting with brand new Behind the Music and Storytellers episodes in June linked to Christina Aguilera’s forthcoming album Bionic.

As someone who lost perfectly good hours of her life to My Antonio, I welcome this possible resurgence of productivity; though I’ll probably lose those hours now to Behind the Music, which I have dearly missed, I will feel less bad about myself for that. What do you think of this VH1 makeover, PopWatchers? Are you ready for some Behind the Music, or will you miss watching various C-listers search for “love” on television?

Here, VH1′s official press-release run-downs of some of its other new shows: READ FULL STORY »
