Celebrity Women & Models

Don’t shoot the messenger!

I hate to be the one to say I told you so, but word has it that Christina Aguilera is NOT doing FashionRocks5 this year. Christina’s name has been removed from the FashionRocksLive Web site. It kind of begs the question of whether she ever was supposed to be a part of it, doesn’t it?

I previously posted my concerns about would she or wouldn’t she, and now it seems that she won’t. It’s a shame, especially considering she’ll be in New York that week. It all seemed logical that Christina would be a part of Fashion Rocks this year. Or did it?

Christina Aguilera arrived at the Trump-Nakheel Celebration on Saturday night.

Also in attendance were Orlando Bloom, Aaron Eckhart, Ali Larter, Lucy Liu, reality TV personality Omarosa (?Trump must really like her!), Hayden Panettiere, Hilary Swank (who I think looked smashing!), Tyrese, Kate Walsh and Pete Wentz.

See the next page for more photos of Christina and guests!

Christina Aguilera and Trump-Nakheel guests arrive for Trump International Hotel & Tower Bel-Air estate celebration.

On Saturday night, Christina Aguilera performed at Donald Trump’s private Bel-Air estate in California to help celebrate the opening of his new Dubai hotel venture with Middle East developer Nakheel.

Trump International Hotel & Tower is located in Dubai on the Palm Jumeirah. The man-made island, shaped like a palm tree, palm fronds and all, is a place of creativity, imagination and decadence.

Christina, who has never been to Dubai, said she was ‘down for any great celebration’, was happy to be a part of the evening, and looks forward to going to Dubai at some point in the future.

Wearing a beautiful and stylish dress from Welsh designer Julien MacDonald, Christina looked elegant and classy. I love the detailing of the dress and think that the skirt is nothing short of genius! Click on the link to Julien MacDonald’s spring/summer line at London’s Fashion Week. I see some outfits in there that I think would look great on Christina!

Julien MacDonald had this to say when asked: “Who is your ideal customer? “I love confident women who are not afraid of their sexuality: Charlize Theron, Angelica Huston, Charlotte Rampling… I love women so my list is endless.”

I think he may have just found the perfect customer in Christina Aguilera!

Christina Aguilera is high style all the way. She’s wearing a gorgeous black Julien MacDonald dress but has thrown in a little pink and purple in her shoes, red on her lips and either purple, blue or black on her nails.

Christina could have gone for straight black shoes, but with true Christina Aguilera pizzazz, she made the style her own!

What I also love is that Christina let the dress do all the talking. Perhaps the evening called for a more ‘reserved’ look, given that Nakheel hosted the evening. Either way, it’s wonderful to see Christina dolled up and looking all class!

Christina Aguilera will be in New York City on September 2nd, 2008, to help launch Christina Aguilera Inspire, Christina’s new perfume.

If you’re fortunate enough to be in New York next weekend, go buy a bottle of Inspire and get your chance to meet Christina! I’m guessing that the line will far exceed the 200 people — not a bad day’s “first-day” sale.

With Christina in New York on Tuesday, undoubtedly she’ll be preparing for FashionRocks5 on Friday, September 5th. With so much to do in the Big Apple, we could imagine Christina making several local appearances — perhaps at TRL, lunch with The Donald, Macy’s 150 Celebration appearances, shopping…Let’s hope we get some great photos and news out of New York!

I think it’s great that Christina is making herself available for the Inspire launch!

Here’s what Macy’s announced on their Web site:

“Christina Aguilera is coming to Macy’s !

We are SO psyched that Christina is coming to Macy’s on Tuesday, September 2 to personally introduce her newest fragrance, INSPIRE that we want YOU to be part of the excitement too ! Now we all know that Ms. Aguilera is quite the busy woman, so her time is limited but the first 200 people to buy the exclusive $104 INSPIRE fragrance set that Christina put together herself, will score a pass to meet her and have her sign the fragrance bottle that comes in the set!

Awesome, yes ? well, true fans, you can make your purchase beginning at store opening on Sunday, August 31st at Macy’s Herald Square and we’ll see you on Tuesday, September 2nd at 5pm in our Fragrance Department.”

The word is in…Christina Aguilera will be performing at Donald Trump’s lavish Bel-Air estate this Saturday night as Mr. Trump and His Excellency Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem host a celebrity-filled launch party for their new Dubai property.

Expected celebrities include Orlando Bloom, Russell Crowe, Aaron Eckhart, Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere, Hilary Swank, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (did you know Hilary and Arnold share the same birthday?), Kate Walsh and undoubtedly many, many more!

Performing will be Christina Aguilera with DJ-ing by Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz aka Ashlee Simpson’s husband.

More to come later…

A few weeks ago I wrote that Christina Aguilera was spotted at a Los Angeles photo shoot for Citizen K magazine. JFXonline.com had the exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, and with their permission, I am now able to post them here for you to see and comment on!

I love the photo shoot! Christina is wearing some very chic clothing and her hair is crimped and full, but I think the concept is wild!

I’m not a big fan of the black lace shirt and what appears to be a tan skirt, but I really love the look of Christina laying back in the ‘director’s chair’. Christina just abandons all!

It’s amazing how you can turn a street in Los Angeles into a photo shoot for an entertainment/fashion magazine. It looks like Citizen K magazine comes out quarterly, so perhaps we’ll see Christina in the fall or winter edition.

The photo above is my favorite! I’m not sure what Christina is selling, but it’s definitely sexy!

Christina Aguilera was destined for stardom.

In 1988, when she was just eight years old, Christina appeared on a Sunday morning program and sang A Sunday Kind Of Love. During the next two years, Christina continued to sing at various events and successfully auditioned for Star Search, a highly-popular U.S. television talent competition. Although Christina didn’t win on the show, her television appearance pushed her into the homes of millions of Americans and overnight, Christina Aguilera became a household name. Americans may not have remembered Christina a few weeks later, but for that moment, she was one popular little girl!

As Christina Aguilera continued to gain recognition as a talented young singer, she began to sing The Star Spangled Banner at local sporting events. Quite an accomplishment for 11-year old Christina, she sang the National Anthem during America’s Stanley Cup Hockey Championship series.

Christina Aguilera becomes a Mouseketeer.

In 1990, Christina Aguilera auditioned for The New Mickey Mouse Club. At 10 years old she was thought to be too young for the show, so she was passed over. Two years later, The New Mickey Mouse Club called Christina and asked her to join their show. This was music to HER ears!

The photo of Christina above was taken at Disneyland Tokyo, and I’m guessing she wasn’t quite 10 yet! She looks more like she was about 5 or 6 years old.

While Christina Aguilera was asked to join the cast of The New Mickey Mouse Club in 1992, she didn’t make her season debut until 1993 and the video clip below occurred somewhere in between those dates.

In the following video clip, Christina is seen singing the Christmas classic What Child Is This? It’s a great preview of the star that was about to shine over Orlando.

What do you think? Was Christina ready for The New Mickey Mouse Club? Were they ready for her?

Nine-year old Christina Aguilera performs Break It To Me Gently.

I’ve found this clip to be the next video available of Christina singing live. A year older than her A Sunday Kind Of Love video clip, Christina singing Break It To Me Gently shows growth in her confidence and performance.

What were you doing when you were nine years old?

One more video clip of a very young Christina Aguilera. This clip, shows growth in Christina’s voice and stage presence.

In this 1991 performance, 11-year old Christina sings Black Velvet. It is amazing to see Christina’s vocal growth in just a year’s time. Her voice is stronger and more mature, and shows development towards becoming one of the most powerful voices in the industry.
