[PHOTO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA CLUTCHES PHOTOBOOTH PIX OF HER & FELLOW 'BURLESQUE' CASTMATES

W/Christina Aguilera on-set of her upcoming movie, “Burlesque." She and the cast & crew loved the photo booth on-set.

We’re on the set of “Burlesque" this week with the photo booth. The cast and crew coming thoroughly are lovin’ it. Tomorrow Christina Aguilera and Cher (February 8, 2010)! Being on a smoke/fogged in sound stage was a little much for the lungs, but the photo booth was a hit! James Brolin came through, in addition to all of the dancers. Christina and all the cast and crew had a ball in the photo booth (Wish I could post some pics but, in the words of Dana Carvey, “Wouldn’t be prudent, not at this juncture!)! Oh, and there was food/catering all day and then at 10pm.. a fresh sushi truck came (February 12, 2010)! Another great day on the set of “Burlesque" @Sony Pictures, with the photo booth! Back again tomorrow too (February 18, 2010)!

[NEWS] BILLBOARD: CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S TOP 10 BIGGEST CAREER MOMENTS

With her new album, "Lotus," debuting at No. 7 on this week's Billboard 200 chart, Christina Aguilera has once again transmitted her bold pop stylings to a wide audience. It shouldn't be a surprise: the 31-year-old has been commanding the spotlight for nearly two decades, first as a Mouseketeer, then as a pop superstar, and now as a reliable voice in the world of film, television and music. Aguilera has said that "Lotus" is a rebirth, but rarely has a pop music career been so alive for so long.

In honor of Christina Aguilera's return to the spotlight and the arrival of "Lotus," check out the 10 moments that have thus far defined her career. Read all about the multifaceted achievements of the singing star, and tell us what you'll always remember about Xtina in the comments section below.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA LAYS DOWN 'REAL TALK' AT BILLBOARD/THR FILM & TV MUSIC CONFERENCE

Christina Aguilera's Keynote Q&A today (Oct. 25) at the Billboard/Hollywood Reporter Film & TV Conference was as colorful as her two-toned blonde/bright red hair: She dropped some f-bombs, spoke plainly about her career, and even belted out a bit of a classic tune.

"Now everyone is a critic," she said with a smile, on the subject of the tabloid press and online bloggers. "I don't read blogs. It's just God-knows-who in Buttf--- wherever writing hate sh--. You can't take it seriously. I'm sure you've all been hated on at some point by buttf--- people."

"It's real talk today," she said at one point to applause.

Bill Werde, Billboard's Editorial Director, joined the singer on a couch in front of a meeting room full of conference attendees at The W Hotel in Hollywood. "Ooh, cozy with Christina!" the singer joked as Werde moved closer to her on the couch, setting the lively and fun tone.

The five-time Grammy winner, whose Max Martin-produced "Your Body" is currently on Billboard's Hot 100, was reflective when answering questions about her nearly lifelong career in music, film and television.

"Sometimes you just know what you're placed on this earth to do," she said of her early days. "Through my childhood I had sort of a chaotic past and upbringing. Music came as a sort of release and escape. Inevitably, you're going to stray toward that path. I started out as a wedding singer singing at block parties at 6, 7 years old. Then came 'Star Search.' That was my first big break at 7 years old. Ed McMahon couldn't say my name right."

She lost "Star Search" but ended up on "The Mickey Mouse Club" by age 12, the same program that of course helped launch Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling. "Great casting agent," Aguilera said by way of understatement. "I think his name was Mike Casella." (She's correct).

She talked about auditioning for then-A&R man Ron Fair (now a special consultant at Front Line Management) in his office. The pair are still friends. "Our kids go to the same pre-school," she noted. "I walked into his office and he was like, 'Sing for me.' I whipped out Whitney Houston's "Preacher's Wife" gospel songs. That stayed in his mind."

[NEWS] NEW CHRISTINA AGUILERA BIOGRAPHY COURTESY OF NBC'S 'THE VOICE'

Christina Aguilera serves as coach on "The Voice," NBC's hit reality vocal competition series that searches for the nation's best voice.

Singer, songwriter, performer, producer, director and actress - is there anything Aguilera hasn't done? One of the most accomplished performers of the last decade, she has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, achieved four No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and has won five Grammy Awards, as well as having three top five albums in the United States. She has collaborated with other legendary artists, including Herbie Hancock, Andrea Bocelli, Tony Bennett, Sir Elton John and The Rolling Stones. Aguilera was also the only artist under 30 to make Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time.

This season, Christina will premiere her much-anticipated single, "Your Body," on "The Voice." In 2011, Aguilera teamed up with fellow "Voice" coach Adam Levine and Maroon 5 to record "Moves Like Jagger." The catchy dance tune went to No. 1 on the Hot 100 charts. In November 2010, she starred in her first feature film "Burlesque," opposite Cher and Stanley Tucci. She earned a Golden Globe nomination for her original song, "Bound to You," which she co-wrote and performed. Earlier that same year, Aguilera launched her album, "Bionic," which featured collaborations from artists such as Sia, Le Tigre and Ladytron as well as producers Tricky Stewart and Hill/Switch.

The New York native's trajectory - from performing in local talent shows in Pennsylvania, where she grew up, to getting her big break on "Star Search" in 1992 to landing a part on the Disney Channel's "The New Mickey Mouse Club" - is well known. It was her song, "Reflection," for Disney's "Mulan," that led to a record deal with RCA and the release of her self-titled debut album in the summer of 1999. The album quickly hit No. 1 on the strength of its first dance/pop single, "Genie in a Bottle" (which dominated the charts for five weeks and broke records worldwide) and other chart toppers including "What a Girl Wants" and "Come on Over." It was a feat she would repeat the following year with "Mi Reflejo," the smash Spanish-language version of her debut, followed by her hit holiday release, "My Kind of Christmas."

In 2001, Aguilera joined forces with Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim on the smash "Lady Marmalade" single and video. That eye-popping slice of eye and ear candy kept her front and center in the international spotlight even as she began to lay the groundwork for her second album, "Stripped." Released in October 2002, it sealed her status as an international superstar while transforming her image from bubble-gum pop princess to steamy sex kitten. Along with the super-heated funk of the album's provocative debut single, "Dirrty," came such standout tracks as "Beautiful," "Can't Hold Us Down" and "Voice Within."

After sweeping the top of the charts with her third album, "Back to Basics," which debuted at No. 1 in August 2006 and sold over 3.7 million worldwide, the unstoppable Aguilera announced a global tour. With the fashion legend Roberto Cavalli as the exclusive costume designer, choreographer and director Jamie King (Madonna, Janet Jackson and Prince) onboard, and a unique stage design that allowed fans unprecedented access to the pop star, the shows were a feast for all senses and earned her rave reviews.

Earning her first of four Grammys in 2000 for Best New Artist, her subsequent trophies came in 2001 for "Lady Marmalade" (Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals), in 2003 for "Beautiful" (Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) and in 2007 for "Ain't No Other Man" (Best Female Pop Vocal Performance), winning a Grammy for each of her albums. Among other honors, she is also the recipient of a 2001 Latin Grammy Award for "Mi Reflejo" (Best Female Pop Vocal Album), a 2000 Billboard Music Award for Female Artist of the Year, and two 2004 Rolling Stone Music Awards (Best Female Performer, Readers' Pick; and Best Tour, Readers' Pick, for "Justified and Stripped").

Voted Sexiest Teen Idol in a VH1 poll, Aguilera's beauty and charisma have also led Teen People to list her among its "25 Hottest Stars Under 25" and Maxim to crown her Best International Female Singer (2000), one of the Sexiest Women of the Year (2003) and No. 1 on their "Hot 100" List (2003). Aguilera has also been honored with two NRJ Awards (Best International Female, Best International Album) as well as a 2007 MTV Europe Award (Best Female Artist).

In 2007, Aguilera introduced an entirely new production - an eponymous perfume named Christina Aguilera, which she launched through P&G Prestige. The fragrance continues to be an international bestseller and has paved the way for four additional scents -"By Night," "Royal Desire," "Secret Potion" and the soon-to-be-released "Red Sin."

In January 2008, Aguilera gave birth to her first child, son Max Liron Bratman. Not one to slow down following the birth, in February the new mom served as the muse behind London jeweler Stephen Webster's new sterling silver collection. Aguilera inspired and was the face of the unconventional collection, posing as a Hitchcock heroine in the ad campaign. The new campaign, shot by famed W magazine photographer Craig McDean, was revealed in Spring 2009. The inspiration for the campaign stems from Webster's glam-rock style and Aguilera's sexy new contemporary look.

Today, while devoting the lion's share of her time to recording and touring, the 31-year-old is active in a range of philanthropy. In 2009, Aguilera joined forces with Yum! Brands in their World Hunger Relief effort, acting as global spokesperson. In less than one year, she has created widespread awareness and deeper engagement to benefit the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and other hunger relief agencies and helped to raise a record breaking 22.5 million in donations. In 2010, she was named an Ambassador to the United Nations for her hard work and outreach. It is an honor only given to a select few.

In addition, Aguilera and her son, Max, appeared in a PSA for "Rock the Vote" encouraging young people to take a stand and vote for what they believe in. The ad, which featured Aguilera singing "America the Beautiful" to Max (who is wrapped in an American flag), was featured in magazines, television spots and billboards in Times Square. A major contributor to the fight against AIDS, Aguilera has participated in the "What's Going On?" cover project for AIDS Project Los Angeles' Artists Against AIDS. In 2004, she became the new face for MAC cosmetic company and spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund. Aguilera also became involved in awareness campaigns with Youth AIDS and ALDO. She also sponsors and is actively involved in the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh for battered women and children.

[NEWS] 'I'M WRITING SO MUCH. I'VE BEEN INSPIRED BY...THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE HIGHS, THE LOWS...'

Christina Aguilera will never put movies before her music career.

The 30-year-old star made her film debut last year in 'Burlesque', and while she is looking for more cinematic projects, she insists her main focus will always be as a singer.

She said: "I'm always reading scripts. 'Burlesque' was something that came to my door that I was truly inspired to do. It was the right time and place for me to dive into that world I've always been inspired by.

"But I'm not going to do back-to-back movies just to do them. Music is always my first love and where my time and attention will remain.

"But film is something that will be on my mind and I am looking for the next project."

Christina split from her husband Jordan Bratman - the father of her three-year-old son Max - last year and she admits their break-up and subsequent divorce has inspired some tracks for her next album.

She told Britain's Hello! magazine: "I'm in the studio now working on my next album and I'm writing so much. I've been inspired by a lot over the past year, the experiences I've had, the good, the bad, the highs, the lows - it will all be apparent in the lyrics.

"The mood of the album will be very introspective, heartfelt and deep rooted."

[NEWS] CHRISTINA'S RAUNCY X FACTOR NUMBER FORCES SIMON COWELL TO TONE DOWN THE SHOW

[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]

X Factor boss Simon Cowell said the show will be toned "down a bit" after last year's finale sparked thousands of complaints.

Pre-watershed scenes featuring Christina Aguilera and her backing dancers in a racy routine saw 2868 complaints made to media regulator Ofcom.

The singer donned a short black dress while her female dancers, who were bent over chairs, wore suspenders, bra tops, fishnet stockings and basques in the raunchy routine.

Cowell said he had listened to public opinion, adding: "I think based on the reaction we'd have to tone it down a bit."

He said he was pleased with the new judging panel on the show and described Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland as "genius" and said for it to continue being a success "you can't keep doing things the same year after year after year".

Cowell said he does not think he has "fallen out" with Cheryl Cole but admitted he had only had a couple of texts from her since she was dropped as a judge on the US version of The X Factor.

He said viewers will see her in the first episode which was recorded before she left the series when she was replaced with former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger only three weeks after starting the job.

Cowell said: "I thought she would work better in England, nothing more than that, you will see her in the first episode but she doesn't look as comfortable on the American show as she does in the English show."

He said he offered her a role on the UK version of the show and a return to the US version but she turned both down, having also turned down an earlier opportunity to appear on the panel of Britain's Got Talent.

"She was offered BGT before X Factor and she basically had cold feet. She said yes and with two days to go she said this isn't for me," he said.

Cowell, who said he had been "incredibly close" to the Girls Aloud star at one time, added: "I don't think we've fallen out, at least I don't think so."
