Christina Aguilera Brings In Max Martin For Comeback Single



As we stated yesterday, 2012 looks to see a comeback from "Dirrty DIVA" Christina Aguilera.

As more details being revealed from the singer’s forthcoming album, news has now surfaced that the Grammy-winning starlet has enlisted hit pop producer Max Martin for her widely speculated lead single due in January.

Martin, who is the craftsman behind some of once-rivaled sensation Britney Spears’ biggest hits, has joined the bevy of big named producers taking the wheel behind the Xtina train.

With critics already hailing the song "a surefire hit," and "radio-friendly," the news (if proven correct) will only boost the growing buzz for Aguilera’s next album.

The upcoming effort is set to be released before the premiere of the ‘Voice’ season 2. Here’s hoping ‘The Voice’ judge finds her voice once again blaring from radios and on top of the charts!

Christina Aguilera Covers ‘Latina’; Talks Divorce & Drama



With season 2 of The Voice but a few days away, coach Christina Aguilera continues her “no stone” unturned media assault, landing this time on the cover of ‘Latina’ magazine.

And while the ‘Genie In A Bottle’ singer looks stunning on the cover, her interview feature proves more compelling.

Check out what the 31 year old had to say about dealing with drama, her divorce, working on The Voice, and more after the jump…

On getting married and divorced at a young age: “Was I too young? Not at all. I did the exact right thing at the time….I definitely wasn’t too young. I have always been older than my age.”

On growing older: “I was on the set of a film and the choreographer was 19 and I looked around at all the dancers and I was like, Whoa! I’m the oldest person in this room. When did that happen?”

On reconnecting with her father: “I’ve talked about how rough things were for me and I’m sure he’s heard it. He can’t be thrilled about it. So maybe one day we can do lunch…I’m 31 years old now. Maybe it’s time.”

On resting up from the intensity of shooting The Voice: “When I’m shooting The Voice, it’s intense. On a day like today, my ex has my son and we are not shooting, so I slept and I just slept. I love doing everything in my bed. Eating, sleeping…It’s my domain and my throne…I do it all in my bed.”

On how she handles gossip and brutal reviews: “I don’t read them. Ever…Why read what people are saying—good or bad?”

On criticisms of not being Latina enough: “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.”

On planning another Spanish-language album: “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.”

Christina Aguilera's 'The Voice' Pulls In Record Breaking Ratings!



Christina Aguilera proved that it takes more than a spray tan malfunction to hold her curvacious frame down, with the season two premiere of her series 'The Voice' raking in a record-breaking 37.6 million viewers last night.

The return of the talent show benefited greatly from the direct lead-in from the Super Bowl, also airing on NBC, which was the most-watched telecast in US history with 111.3 million viewers.

The enormous numbers for 'The Voice' gave it the highest-ratings for an entertainment telecast since Grey’s Anatomy’s post-Super Bowl airing on ABC back in 2006.

To further put the ratings into perspective, the last time a talent series scored numbers this big was the sixth season of American Idol back in 2007, which premiered to 37.44 million viewers.
