 Christina Aguilera Launches Fragrance Christina Aguilera has channeled the spirit of another American pop figure, Andy Warhol, and melded it with one of the hippest influences in the contemporary world — Tokyo — to produce Inspire, her first women's scent aimed at the U.S.
She's eager for more children
Singer Christina Aguilera wants a second child but is waiting for her career to slow down first.
Aguilera gave birth to son Max earlier this year.
And though she admits she is already eager to expand her family with her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman, Aguilera is putting plans for another baby on hold, so she can focus on her career.
She says, "Absolutely (I want another baby). I can't tell you when, as I'm not planning things like that. Maybe around the next tour."
Aguilera's 2007 Back to Basics tour was cut short last August due to an unspecified illness. Her pregnancy was later announced by socialite Paris Hilton, before Aguilera herself confirmed the story.
 Christina takes control...What a girl wants - it turns out - is to grow up. And right now, Christina Aguilera is doing just that with a new album she's making on her own terms. "We're in the home stretch," Aguilera says of the fall release as she curls up on a couch inside a Hollywood recording studio. It's late on a Friday night in June, and Aguilera is at work with producer Linda Perry, the hot hand behind Pink's recent hits. Also collaborating with Aguilera are Alicia Keys, Dr. Dre associate Scott Storch, Glen Ballard, and Dave Navarro.
The new album - her first since 2000 - is a declaration of independence from her teen-pop past: "When you're seventeen, you're green. I fell into something that wasn't quite me. Being twenty-one now, I've grown into more of what I feel like as a woman. This record is definitely my baby." Tonight she looks relaxed and sexy in a safety-pinned Puerto Rico T-shirt, jeans, and a Kangol cap. "I wanted to make a record that was about me completely. Nothing superficial, no hype, no gloss." Aguilera considered 'Stripped' as a title. "But we thought is could be sexually misconstrued," she says. "We don't want to give the wrong impression."
"I think Christina has incredible instincts," adds co-producer Storch. "I was surprised by how talented she is. And she is by far the best voice in the business."
Retailers expect the album to be a hot item. "There's a good vibe left for Christina," says Dave Alder, senior vice president of product and marketing for Virgin Megastores. "Instead of rushing a follow-up, the label left the right amount of time. Good pop is still important."
Tonight, Aguilera previews tracks such as "Beautiful" ("I am beautiful/No matter what they say"), a lush ballad about moving on called "Cruise" and a rocker, "Make Me Over," that includes the lines, "I don't need anyone to make me over/Save your bull**** for another day." Of the album's hard-edged lyrics, she says, "If you wanted to know what I was up to on my last tour, or even with my last boyfriend, just listen."
Still, Aguilera says her life, and her album, reflect both her struggle and her happiness. "Even though I've been screwed over by certain people, there's a time where it's like, 'I'm going to show you all.' And it's OK, because I'm going to survive."
 Christina Aguilera reveals post-pregnancy body secretsChristina Aguilera has been revealing the secrets behind her impressive post-baby body.
The singer — who gave birth to a son, Max, in January — even opens up about the eye-popping cleavage that she’s been flaunting about town in recent weeks.
And it sounds as if Xtina and husband Jordan Bratman are just as awed as the rest of us by her expanding chest.
"It's kind of hilarious! I've never fit into an E-cup before," she tells.
"I look at my husband and go, 'Guess what size this bra is?' And when I tell him, he's just amazed.
“We keep the tags that prove it, to look back for memory's sake!"
