08/20/2007 - entertainmentwise
A source tells the New York Daily News newspaper: 'Christina couldn't contain her excitement. She said she couldn't wait for the baby to be born.' Despite the growing pregnancy bump, Christina has so far refused to confirm publicly that she is expecting a child with husband Jordan Bratman. When asked recently if she was pregnant, the singer would only reply: 'It's definitely something we can't wait to begin.' Chistina’s father, Fausto Aguilera, wasn’t as reluctant as his daugher to talk about the pregnancy, however. A proud Fausto said last month: 'I'm so excited. I want Christina to achieve all her goals. I wish her all the happiness in the world.'

Aguilera Says Reality TV Is Not For Her
08/14/2006 - allheadlinenews
The 'Dirrty' singer, who has recently revamped her image, says that television producers are often left confused as to why she is not interested in following the footsteps of other celebrities such as Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears to reveal their private lives to the public. According to IOL, she tells MTV News: 'We've been approached, actually, and it has been a question for some people, but my marriage and my relationship with my husband is something that I really want to protect.' She adds: 'My heart goes out to that whole situation. It's a whole different ballgame, I feel, when you do open yourself up to that whole thing, and it must be difficult. 'You're open to all the judgment in the world. At least now I can say: `Well, you don't know my situation and it's very private and special and sacred to me.''
Aguilera 'Back' with new album
07/25/2006 - xinhuanet
'Just to get into the song,' she says, 'to convey that emotion and high energy, especially to belt out some notes, the red lipstick helped me get to that mind frame.' Saluting artists from the past was a role Aguilera was born to play. Since her RCA debut seven years ago, the 25-year-old has talked about her love for such torch and blues singers as Etta James. As she prepared for the album, due for release Aug. 15, 'I would surround myself with old imagery of your Billie Holidays and your Pearl Baileys and people like that,' she says. With the new two-CD, 22-song set, executive-produced and co-written by Aguilera, her aim is no less ambitious than to pay homage to her musical heroes while inventing something completely new. The first disc, primarily produced by DJ Premier, combines old-song sensibilities with hip-hop elements, samples and modern technology. Disc two, produced by Linda Perry, features all live instrumentation with no samples: Old-timey sounds were captured using vintage microphones sometimes covered with cloth to get a muffled effect. Aguilera plans to kick-start the album by playing a limited number of intimate U.S. jazz clubs, followed by a European tour that will include private showcases in London and Paris. A full-scale U.S. tour will start next year.
Christina Aguilera won’t give up career to have children
07/08/2006 - fametastic
She said recently: “We’d absolutely like to have kids one day. We’re both family people. Jordan’s from a Jewish family, so taking care of each other is a big deal. I like that. But for now we’re just enjoying ourselves.” “And music’s so important in my life. I think even with kids I’d write and record songs. Touring may be a bigger problem, though - we’ll just have to wait and see.” “I’m sure I’d be able to combine family life with my career”.
Aguilera's Back To Basics Now Double The Fun
06/07/2006 - fmqb
'The first half is based upon working with more beat-driven producers and will use samples and things like that, and then the second disc is all me and [collaborator] Linda Perry,' Aguilera said. The majority of the first disc was produced by DJ Premier, and Aguilera describes the material as 'kind of a throwback with elements of Jazz, Blues and Soul music combined with a modern-day twist, like hard-hitting beats.' As for disc two, Aguilera says that her and Perry 'creatively went into our own zone and our own world together. There are no cover songs, so we made more of a '20s, '30s vibe with an authentic and organic twist. There are no samples — it's all live music. One of the songs sounds like you entered a 1920s burlesque club, another song sounds like it was actually recorded in the 1920s, using a vintage microphone, so it's exciting stuff.' 'It was quite a journey making this record [and turning to] the old glam look visually to go along with all that,' she said to MTV.com. 'But what we came up with, I'm super-proud of.' Back To Basics will land in stores on August 15.
