[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA TALKS 'VOICE' REST, 'LOTUS' TOUR + FRANK OCEAN

Christina Aguilera sees her upcoming breather from NBC's hit "The Voice" as an opportune time to spend time with family, reconnect with fans and, she says, play some tour dates in support of her new album "Lotus."

"It's very interesting, because it won't really in time be that much of a break," she told Billboard's Bill Werde (@ bwerde) backstage at last week's Film & TV Music Conference. "It'll barely allow me to sort of get back to my fans, maybe see them on the road, have some tour dates possibly."

She added that she's hoping "throw in a vacation" as a well during that time and be "able to have a moment to myself which is so important, and for my family, my son."

[VIDEO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA Q&A: FROM 'MICKEY' TO 'LOTUS' AND FINDING HER 'VOICE'

Christina Aguilera took attendees for a journey of her blockbuster career at last week's Billboard Film & TV Conference Music Conference. Feeling feisty, the "Beautiful" singer played loose with her language (f-bombs were dropped) while talking about her journey from Star Search runner-up to superstar of music and, now, the small screen on "The Voice."

"Sometimes you just know what you're placed on this earth to do," she told interviewer Bill Werde ( @bwerde), Billboard's Editorial Director, at the W Hotel in Hollywood.

In Part 1 of the lengthy chat, Aguilera talks about her early days on the set of the "Mickey Mouse Club," the challenges and friendships formed during "Burlesque" and she eviscerates tabloid "trash." Keep an eye on this page for Parts 2 and 3, where the "Your Body" star talks "The Voice," her new album "Lotus" and on working with female writers and producers.

[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] BRITNEY SPEARS' FANS ARE SCARED SENSELESS ABOUT CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S 'Q AND A'

A Britney Spears fan site is bawling about Christina Aguilera's live Q&A on Twitter which is set to take place SIX HOURS before their coveted 'X-tina Factor' premiere. I guess Simon Cowell wasn't the only one taking NBC's third installment of 'The Voice' personally...

Jordan Miller, the fan site's long-time founder is fuming because he and the rest of the Britney fanbase are intimidated by Christina Aguilera because they're convinced Christina will steal Britney's thunder after all.

'BRITNEY SHOULD FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE: Q&A 9/12'

One of the worst things in the world besides wide-spread hunger and war is pissing off Britney’s fanbase.

The Voice scheduled a new taping on September 12th, the day The X Factor premieres, and it’s caused quite the controversy. Now, Christina Aguilera is answering questions from fans on that day, as well as releasing her new single, “Your Body.”

She Tweeted:

Lets do a live Twitter Q&A next Wed. Send ?'s using #YourBody. Excited to chat w/ u! Details in photo so retweet!! twitter.com/TheRealXtina/s…
— Christina Aguilera (@TheRealXtina) September 6, 2012

Now it’s time for Team Britney to play up the fan-fueled rivalry and get Britney to answer some questions from fans around 2pm ET / 11am PT!

Who’s down? Is Britney?

Following suit, Jordan sounds just as pathetic and pressed as poor old Simon Cowell. Well, you know what they say, birds of a feather flock together.
