Christina On Britney, Lance & Staying Dirrty

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-16 - 17:46:39

Don't call Christina Aguilera Xtina anymore. The pop princess tells the latest issue of HX magazine "I thought that was a cute nickname for the last record, but now the character for this record is 'Baby Jane.'"

While Aguilera channeled Xtina when she shed her wholesome teen pop image in 2002, the former Mousketeer isn't getting all Pollyanna on us and proclaims "Sexuality will always be a part of what I do."

As far as the endless comparisons to Britney Spears, Baby Jane says "I knew that eventually our bodies of work would differ. I think she's in a beautiful time in her life right now - she's a mother, and I think it's great."

Christina also revealed she was "shocked" when she heard Lance Bass had come out of the closet - shocked that it was such a big deal. "When I heard of it, I shrugged my shoulders and said, 'Good for him!'"

So now with her more Hollywood glam look has Christina hung up her "Dirrty" leather chaps for good? Don't bet on it. Aguilera jokes "When I'm 50 years old, hopefully I'll still be able to get those suckers on." So do we Christina. So do we.

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-16 - 07:40:25

Snow Patrol have had cancel two gigs they were scheduled to play in America as they were unable to fly out there.

The hit band were lined up to perform in Seattle and Portland this week, but the recent terrorist alert and resulting chaos at UK airports meant that only two out of the five band members could get on flights in time.

Lead singer Gary Lightbody said: "We really did try to get to Seattle and then on to Portland! It became a personal quest of mine this morning, but Heathrow was against me (us) and we are now grounded in London with no luggage or backline. Believe me when I say that we are doing everything in our power to get to Boston for Tuesday's gig."

Boy George starts street cleaning sentence

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-16 - 07:33:39

Boy George has started his five-day street cleaning community sentence for falsely reporting a crime.

The singer had joked "I've always been a scrubber" and took to the New York streets in relatively high spirits.

But, as he faced hoards of reporters in his fluorescent jacket and gloves, the 45-year-old quickly lost his temper. "This is supposed to be community service," barked the star, real name Paul O'Dowd. "You're just making it a nightmare, which just means it's for the media and not for me."

He denied accusations he was annoyed with the menial work, commenting: "My mum was a cleaner, my dad was a builder, know what I mean?"

He was ordered to complete the service after he called police to his house in the city last October then convicted of wasting police time earlier this year.

A New York sanitation department spokesman said he would serve a proper sentence. "A lot of tourists means a lot of street litter," he commented. "This is the epitome of community service. It's not like he's going to be working in an air conditioned office."

The Darkness' Justin goes into rehab

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-16 - 07:16:01

Justin Hawkins has made the decision to go into London rehabilitation clinic The Priory.

The Darkness frontman was driven to the popular celebrity retreat at the weekend by a friend, after health problems recently forced him to pull out of a scheduled festival performance in Denmark.

Apparently the singer's troubles are related to the recent downturn in his band's fortunes. Whilst they received acclaim with their first album, the follow-up One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back failed to appear in the Top 10.

A source said: "Justin's been feeling really low of late and he wanted to go somewhere he could clear his head. He's been looking terrible at the moment. His skin's taken on a weird yellowy pallor. The Priory really is the best place for him."

Federline's papa pre-nup

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-16 - 07:08:05

Kevin Federline's pre-nuptial agreement reportedly states he will get more money for every child he has with wife Britney Spears.

The former dancer - who is setting up his own record label after industry bosses snubbed his 'PopoZao' single - is expecting his second child with the 'Toxic' singer in October and it seems he has more than one reason to celebrate the birth.

A source revealed: "Before he got married, Kevin was sitting down with lawyers, discussing legal and financial issues.

"He was sitting sort of slumped over with a baseball cap over his eyes and a lawyer was talking about how he had to sign a pre-nup and Kevin looked sort of bummed out.

"But then the lawyer explained that for every child the two of you have together, you would receive X amount of dollars. His eyes really lit up."

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-16 - 06:48:03

Paris Hilton has made it into the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records, but it may not be for a reason she'd particularly enjoy. While Britney Spears or Tom Cruise were probably somewhere close behind, Paris takes the crown for our favorite record ever -- Most Overrated Person.

A spokesperson for the book says it took its info from a number of polls. Readers voted on their least favorite and most overrated celebrity and Hilton's name kept coming up on top.

Other celebrities to make it to Guinness this year include Madonna with the highest earnings for a female singer in 2004 and The Rock for being the highest paid actor in a debut role for "The Scorpion King."
