Hot Music Beat

Christina Aguilera recently had an interview with UK’s Cosmopolitan magazine that she finds the female body more attractive than the male body. The singer said “I think women are such sensual beings. And, I mean, I’m attracted to men ultimately – I’m married (to music marketing executive Jordan Bratman) and I love my husband and I love what we do together. But honestly? If I had the choice between viewing a naked man or a naked woman, I’d choose the woman. We’re just naturally sexier and more beautiful to look at.” I wonder if her husband ever gets worried that Christina’s eyes are wandering.

Christina Aguilera is stretching her acting chops as the powerhouse singer has landed herself her first movie role. The 27-year old former Mouseketeer has signed on to star in the upcoming Fosse-style musical ‘Burlesque’. Her character is describe to be an “ambitious small town girl with a big voice who finds love, family and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club.” Whoever is producing or casting or doing whatever on this movie should really consider having Dita Von Teese show Christina the ropes and have her do a cameo at the very least. That would make it a hot movie.

Christina Aguilera looked hot as she performed at THISDAY’s Africa Rising Festival at the Royal Albert Hall in London recently. The working mom didn’t waste any time there as she also found time to sit down for an interview with People where she talked about having more kids and how she balances her work and being a mom to her son Max. She said “I’m in love with my life. But Mama has to work, Mama has to do a job. I think it’s important to share what I love – what makes me me – with my son. So. I change diapers and I breastfeed him and I play with him and then I work. I want to show Max everything about me.”
