After every airing of The Voice there’s a discussion about Christina Aguilera’s weight. About which I don’t often comment because I don’t watch that s**t. But I’m aware she looked like this back in January. And she looks thinner now. Although she’s hardly back to her fighting weight. Which is actually fine. Because her fighting weight was at about 19-years-old and I’d be concerned if she looked that skinny now. Photos of Aguilera and the boyfriend about whom I’d forgotten.
Kelly Osbourne is still gleefully fat-shaming Christina Aguilera in the new issue of Glamour because ribs are for fatties, about which Aguilera mocked Osbourne for years. I don’t recall Aguilera’s name-calling. Although, like an adult who can’t get over being bulled in grade school, Osbourne is still scratching Aguilera’s name into her arm while yelling ‘REAL GIRLS HAVE RIBS!’ Osbourne tells Glamour she doesn’t regret calling Aguilera ‘fat’ on Fashion Police: ‘Sometimes it’s other people’s [judgmental] voices you have to shut out. That’s what happened with me and Christina Aguilera, which people don’t understand. She called me fat for years. One night on Fashion Police I said, ‘F**k you. Now you’re fat too.’ I didn’t say I wasn’t fat. I said, ‘Now you know how it feels.’ And I’m sorry, but I stand by that. I make a point on the show never to say anything about anybody that I wouldn’t say directly to their face. I’m famous, and she’s famous; it doesn’t mean I can’t stand up for myself. I took it for 10 years and finally decided to be like, ‘You know what? I’m done.’ And that’s the last thing I will ever say about it. Even now I don’t consider myself skinny. But I have put a lot of hard work into my body over the years, and in the process, I’ve really learned to love myself.’
Christina Aguilera appears really insecure about her heritage. As in, the way in which she addresses her background. It’s like she’s always overcompensating. One would think the point would be moot and wouldn’t need addressing. However, she’s always dropping her ethnicity into anecdotes and it feels tacked on. Like when a source recently said of the weight gain: ‘She’s a Latina woman with curves and since when is it not ok to have curves? [She is] proud [of her body]. She feels like she is setting an example for women and young girls, especially Latinas. She’s very proud of her curves.’ Speaking to Latina Magazine, for which she covers the March 2012 issue, Aguilera says she’s always called ‘Not Lainta enough,’ and it bothers her: ’I’ve dealt with that my whole life. I don’t speak the language fluently. And I’m split right down the middle, half Irish and half Ecuadorean. I should not have to prove my ethnicity to anyone. I know who I am,’ she said. ‘I wouldn’t be questioned [about my heritage] if I looked more stereotypically Latina… whatever that is. All I know is no one can tell me I’m not a proud Latina woman… I dove headfirst into a Spanish-language album for that reason and I’m planning another one even though I don’t speak the language. I’m sure that doesn’t sit well with some people.’ More from her interview below.
Christina Aguilera is mostly off my radar unless I have to talk about her weight. Anecdotes about her pants size are all that’s left to talk about because she’s no longer a booze-hound (at least, not that I know of). She’s on The Voice right now, sure. But she’s not really doing much that’s newsworthy. So I’m happy to ignore her completely unless… oh, I don’t know… she makes The Voice’s production all about her weight too. Oh, that actually happened. Maybe. National Enquirer claims the whole show revolves around making The Artist Formerly Known As Albooki look jelly-free. A source claims: ‘Christina holds up production with her constant demands, saying, ‘Don’t make me look fat’ or ‘Don’t show my butt.’ She’s insisted the cameramen only shoot her at flattering angles, forcing a few segments to be reshot. She also demands that the stylists bring her the latest slimming fashions, and she’s always ordering the makeup artists to make her face look thinner. Blake and Cee Lo get annoyed at Christina’s requests, but Adam really can’t stand it. He’s the first one to say that she’s unprofessional and producers shouldn’t reshoot takes just because she doesn’t like how she looks.’
When in the presence of the Artist Formerly Known As Albooki, Christina Aguilera, you must hold in your poots lest they burn her shouty vocal chords. This advice comes from The Voice co-judge Adam Levine, with whom Aguilera poses on the new cover of Rolling Stone: ‘I honestly just recently started realizing that you’re surrounded by three dudes all the time, and that has to be something of a pain in the a$$. We stopped farting in front of her!’ Adds Aguilera: ‘You have to be a pretty strong girl to stay up in the mix with the guys. It’s a lot. It’s a crazy locker-room kind of situation.’ Here’s a poot-free behind-the-scenes video.
I would have skimmed right over this, since it’s pretty old news at this point. However, there’s an update on that nasty brown drip down the leg of the Artist Formerly Known As Albooki, Christina Aguilera. So. I’m updating. You can check her out in the video above, she paid tribute to Etta James this weekend by labouring At Last with crap dripping down her leg. However, Us Weekly sources clarify, those were just sweat drips/ tan drips. NOT tinkles. ‘She sang her heart out. It was a memorial service for her idol and she was nervous,’ said an Us source. ‘It was her proudest moment. The sweat caused her spray tan to streak.’
