A very pregnant Christina Aguilera posed nude for the January 2008 issue of Marie Claire magazine, set to hit newsstands on December 11th.

Here are some excerpts from the article:

It turns out the pregnancy was a bit of a surprise for her and husband Jordan Bratman:

“We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn’t know how much time it would take. You’ve heard it takes some time — except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here… I’m like, Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?” [said Aguilera.]

Aguilera figures she got pregnant when Bratman was visiting her in Georgetown, during the U.S. leg of her ‘Back to Basics’ tour… Only problem was she still had a month left on an eight-month world tour where she changes costumes at least 10 times during the show, hangs from a circus pinwheel, rides a carousel horse, plays a dominatrix, and wears major heels throughout:

“I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong — somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.” So she wore a well-concealed heart monitor. She didn’t want to broadcast the news. “I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’ But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back.”

Aguilera talks about her simple decision not to announce her pregnancy. Somehow it figures that the criminally uncircumspect Paris Hilton would be the one to spill the beans, at an MTV Video Music Awards party. [When asked] if Hilton’s faux pas angered her, she shrugs it off. “Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all. I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl.”

Aguilera says she likes the idea of a big family, although she doesn’t have a set number of kids in mind… But the domestication of Christina Aguilera is likely to be complicated. What will it mean for someone who has treated her confrontational sexuality as both a rallying cry and a right?

“We’re so labeled. If you’re too sexual, you’re slutty. If you’re not sexual enough, you’re a prude. I like to put it out there as a topic of conversation. Why does it bother you? What’s your problem with it? Am I really hurting you? Let’s get to the root of it. I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing. Sometimes I want to be aggressive, sometimes I want to feel empowered in my sexuality and my vulnerability. I want to put all that out there.” [Source]

British singer Lily Allen recently confessed that her recent weight loss (she shed 19 pounds in just six weeks) came after doctors ordered her to get fit after they discovered she had a heart murmur (a condition that causes the heart to make unusual sounds during the heartbeat).

“I found out I had a heart murmur about three months ago. I had switched doctors and just went for a routine check up, which is when they discovered I had this irregular murmur. I have been asthmatic all my life, but this was really quite scary. When they asked me how much exercise I did, I had to be honest and say hardly any.”

“I make sure I work out three times a week now, and I don’t hold back. It’s a hardcore routine and I’m usually in the gym for at least an hour-and-a-half.”

“I used to love nothing more than sitting in front of the telly with two packets of Ginger Nuts and two bags of milk bottle sweets - and I’d devour the lot. But this heart thing has made me cut back on all that kind of crap. I now find that, because I am looking after myself, I don’t feel like eating the bad stuff so much.”

“I really want to stress that I haven’t done this because I want to become some skinny minnie - I will never be like that. I just like being more toned, it has made me really happy and I know I will never be super skinny because I would never be happy. I don’t understand people who are crazy thin and deprive themselves, they must be miserable.” [Source]

Lily seems to really care about her health, so she should quit smoking too!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen attended the Seventh on Sale Gala (hosted by Anna Wintour) on Thursday, November 15. (Seventh on Sale is the world’s largest sample sale. Scores of fashion brands donated thousands of items to be sold through December 7 on 7thonsale.ebay.com. 100% of the money raised goes to services and housing for those living with HIV and AIDS.)

Both Ashley and MK wore white dresses: Ashley wore a long Calvin Klein gown, while Mary-Kate wore a Giambattista Valli frock and shoes. They both looked lovely!

It’s sad to see what Amy Winehouse is doing to herself and her career (and to her fans too!).

Here’s a story about how Amy ruined her performance in Birmingham on Thursday (November 15).

Winehouse turned up 45 minutes late on stage, by which time both Amy and the crowd had managed drink themselves in a stupor. Following the crowd booing and slagging her off for being a bit sh!t (well, she was mumbling half of the time), Winehouse broke down in tears on a couple of tracks and was left sobbing on stage. She would then try and hold it together and carry on the show, sometimes bursting into amazing on-form vocals, before blasting swear-fileld rants at the punters.

The whole situation got a little awkward and half of the crowd walked out, muttering about cancelled tours. This was the first show Winehouse has played since her husband was arrested on a charge of Attempting To Pervert The Course Of Justice. [Source]

With her husband in jail, Amy has been dealt another blow after her tour manager quit amid drugs accusations.

Thom Stone walked out on the singer just a day after she had a meltdown during a gig in Birmingham, swearing at fans and falling over on stage.

Mr Stone confirmed he had quit after it was said that he found working with Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil who is currently behind bars, was harming his health.

The last straw was when Amy, 24, and Blake were arrested with cannabis in Norway last month.

The Sun reported today that doctors found heroin in Mr Stone’s system after he inhaled it passively on Amy’s tour bus.

The tour manager is said to have produced a doctor’s note which revealed traces of the class A drug in his blood.

“He insisted to the management team that the only way that could have happened would have been through inhaling it from Blake and Amy. Thom just had it up to here. It was a nightmare job,” the paper reported. [Source]

Here are some new pictures (taken on November 15) of Keira Knightley on the set of her new movie “The Duchess“.

In this film, Keira plays 18th Century aristocrat Georgiana Cavendish, an ancestor of Princess Diana.

It is rumored that Keira acted like a diva and infuriated the cast and crew of the film by failing to get a scene right, despite 17 takes.

The British beauty, who recently branded herself a “moody b*****d, ” left ‘The Duchess’ cast and crew livid by spending the time between her failed efforts sulking.

“She was filming a very simple two-line scene, but she just couldn’t get it right and the director finally gave up in despair, ” the Daily Mail quoted a source, as saying.

The scene involved her walking down some stairs and sitting with another character to whom Keira had to whisper something, down a drink and leave, but she just couldn’t get it.

The source revealed that she struggled to express the conspiracy between the two that the director wanted.

“It was very frustrating. Keira was very moody between takes. She squatted on the floor and stayed there sulking until she was brought a special chair, ” the source said.

The star only cheered up when a hunky crew-member went to speak to her - and she ended up enjoying a play fight with him. [Source]

According to reports, the ex Pop-Queen flied to Nevada in the last weekend with her cousin for a revolutionary liposuction treatment in a Las Vegas’s clinic, while telling everyone she was there house hunting.

It seems that Britney paid $12,000 for a sneak liposuction session, so after the two childbirths she is trying to get her old beautiful body back.

For the extensive treatment, the 25-year-old mother spent some hours under the care of Dr John Minoli, because, according to the National Enquirer, she was more than happy with the work he had done on her back in April, during another top-secret session. Minoli uses an advanced laser technology to break down fat during his expensive Smartlipo session.

So Britney Spears is finally ready to go up again in the World Pop Ranking, thanks to new lips, less fat and maybe a new pair of breast. Infact her last photos show that she has got back her “pre-baby boobs” too, rather they seems to be bigger and harder than ever. [Source: CWD]
