Now This Is How You Do It!

xtina1.jpg xtina2.jpg

As we try to block that hideous image of a pregnant Britney Spears naked on a bearskin rug, we feast our eyes on these exquisite pics of Christina Aguilera in the new issue of Marie Claire.

The singer bares her bump and so much more, but she does it tastefully and sexily!

CLICK HERE to read an excerpt from the article.

Pop megastar Christina Aguilera is downright giggly as she opens up for the first time about her baby boy, her marriage, and her future in the "Sexy Mama" cover article featured in the January 2008 issue of Marie Claire, on newsstands nationally Dec. 11. Excerpts and quotes from the article include:

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."

      Nobody needs to get naked to show the whole world, let alone when they're pregnant? This ridiculous Hollywood ritual of posing in the nude when pregnant is a bit stupid really.

    61. umm? says – reply to this


      61

      ummm.. tastefully? …"sexlily"?.. britney selss sex much better than christina.. i liked britney pictures better..

      also.. note how there was no hype for these pictures.. no one said anything about her doing this shoot…y? cuz no one cares about her…. when britney was doing them.. soooo much tension and excitement was there..

      britney's were def. better even though i aint a fan of hers either…

    62. Eww says – reply to this

      What's up with taking down negative comments about her posing like this Perez? Just because we're not up her ass like you are doesn't mean our opinions don't count.

      I WANT TO SEE HER POSE A WEEK AFTER GIVING BIRTH…NOW THAT'S SOMETHING NOBODY HAS DONE….EVEN PHOTOSHOPPING WOULDN'T MAKE THAT PICTURE LOOK GOOD!

      Oh, please. There is nothing classy about her look. She looks overdone as always; too much makeup, cheesy bleached hair, fuck me pumps, and metallic. It is what it is- typical Aguilera.

      strangeness to these photos!They are beautiful photos but there's something wrong with a naked pregnant lady!It's not quite right and should be private for her hubby and not the whole freakin world!

      I think she looks awesome and she seems like a cool girl. I like that she didn't do a formal announcement to the public regarding her pregnancy. I mean…It's pretty easy to figure out. I wish her lots of luck and hope that she comes out with a new album that's hot in the future.

      Firstly, I want to say, that yes the cover is equisite. I found Britney's cover to equally as beautiful.. so why not for a chance.. get off her back for once.. and get your own life.. cuz she's living her's so why dont you.

    84. joan says – reply to this


      84

      she's way to orange. she looks weird.
      and why does ever pregnant celebrity have to be on the cover of a magazine pregnant? that is so overdone and boring.

    85. Persnickety says – reply to this


      85

      Tacky in the extreme. It was with Demi Moore years ago as well, but at least then it was original. Preganant, bleached out hair, and mamie Van Doren mules? Is she going for sexy? WTF? Be happy, healthy and covered!

      Re: Mags

      That's what I was thinking too. I was once told that you could only use vegetable-based dyes during pregnancy but I didn't think you could get that type of dye in that shade of blond - any color experts out there who could comment?

    87. Lin says – reply to this


      87

      She can't stop been a whore even pregnant. I can't imagine what makes this pictures tasteful. The best naked ones that I ever saw were the one with Demi Moore pregnant

      I'm all for showing off your baby bump but posing for naked pregnant pics for a mag are NOT tasteful. Those pics belong in Hustler, I'm sure nasty old men everywhere are out there jackin off to that crap.

      Not done tastefully at all. The cover pictured DOES look slutty perez. I love this girl though but i just don't think the pictures focus on her pregnancy and i thought that was the point of them. And Britney's pictures actually looked more professional and tastefull. She concentrated on the topic in hand.

      pregnancy IS beautiful! xtina is…well…she looks nothing like the girl who she started out to be…she's had considerable work done to her nose and lips, at the very least. she bleaches her hair to within an inch of it's life…she applies so much makeup that she must use a trowel to spread it on…her spray on tan makes her look like she's wearing grease paint from an ancient theatrical troupe…and she's been photo shopped to almost unrecognizable proportions! yes, pregnancy IS beautiful, but this is factual representation ONLY of the worship of the artificial…. and the fact that Mario seems to approve (as in "THIS is how you do it")…the expert on procreation that he is, and flawless fashion sense that he displays, should say it all about these photos…why must our "stars" shop out their souls while gestating?? its as if THEY invented the situation…what arrogance!
