Here’s some news that will be music to Entourage fans’ ears: Eminem and Christina Aguilera are among the guest stars appearing in the HBO comedy’s season 7 finale, EW.com has learned.

The rapper, who released Recovery last week, shot a scene that takes place “at a platinum record party for his album, which by the time this airs will be platinum, I’m sure,” says Entourage creator Doug Ellin, adding: “He has a little conflict—a little beef—with Vince [Adrian Grenier].”

While Eminem won’t be performing in the episode, Aguilera will. Like Eminem, the singer plays herself—but she’s also a client of Ari. “She’s doing Ari a favor and performing at a party for him,” Ellin tells EW.com.

The Sept. 12 episode, which Ellin hints is a “pretty dramatic season finale,” also features Minka Kelly (whom Vince has his eye on) and John Cleese, as well as pro athletes such as Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees, Phillies All-Star first baseman Ryan Howard, and NBA players Jordan Farmar and Kevin Love.

This Friday, June 25, marks the one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s shocking death at age 50.

CBS News’ The Early Show will celebrate the legendary singer and performer with The King of Pop: One Year Later, an hour-long broadcast tribute (during the 8am hour) devoted to Jackson’s life and legacy.

On hand to remember the superstar? Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, LL Cool J and Smokey Robinson — plus British singer James Morrison, set to perform “Man in the Mirror” live.

The stars shared some of their “King of Pop” memories:

Christina Aguilera: “Music wouldn’t be what it is without someone like Michael Jackson. I remember going to my high school talent show singing ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ and being a huge fan of his album Bad. I know all my dancers wouldn’t be behind me dancing if it weren’t for that.”

Marc Anthony: “A Michael Jackson comes around literally once in a lifetime. They break the mold and I think there’re people who just sacrifice their life, their personal life all for the arts. That’s what Michael did; he sacrificed his life for the arts.”

LL Cool J: “I think one of the coolest things he told me was never limit yourself; the fact that if people can whistle your songs then they can understand it all over the world. Because there are language barriers…People speak different languages all over the world. Melody is king and I think Michael really understood that…What we didn’t lose is his legacy and that incredible catalogue and body of work…We may have lost the man, but we didn’t lose the legacy. The legacy is actually bigger than that one human being. That legacy touched millions.”

In a recent interview, Christina Aguilera was questioned again about Britney Spears - what has become a routine in her career, since the two attended the same program as children and became rivals for the media.

The singer attended the radio program Kyle Jackie O, which revealed that she sent a letter to Britney Spears when she faced the most difficult period of her life.

"We were best friends at the time of the Mickey Mouse Club, had a history together. It's so cool and so ironic that we have been released at the same time," Christina said, adding that she almost did not see Justin Timberlake who also participated in the program.

About the problems facing Britney she says:

"I wrote a letter to her in her bad times [2007] and had not spoken for a while. I never judge anyone."

Tune into Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight, June 15, and tune in
early! Christina Aguilera will be belting out the national anthem
before the game.

The singer - whose new single 'Not Myself Tonight' shows the pop star in a number of racy and provocative outfits - admitted shooting the video for the raunchy song was ''torture'' because of the tight latex clothing.

She said: ''For my video shoot I didn't go to bed until five in the morning... in the freezing rain, in the cold, wearing a two-piece red latex outfit. Torture! I got nauseous with exhaustion from the video shoot. It was just a long day. Did I get a skin allergy from the latex? I did get a little bit of a rash at one point. Where? Next question!''

The 29-year-old beauty - who has a two-year-old son, Max, with her music producer husband Jordan Bratman - admitted her spouse loves to see her in fetish clothing, although she wouldn't like it if he tried to return the favour.

She said: ''It's beautiful...I'm really into fetish gear and latex is really making a strong statement for me. Good body contours. Has my husband worn it? I would not know! And I'll never know! You don't want to get your b**ls caught in that.''

The only time Christina hasn't worn such provocative outfits is when she was pregnant.

She added to Q magazine: ''Have I ever toned it down? Never! Well, maybe when I was pregnant. There was no latex then.''

A Note From Christina Aguilera

Dear Fans,

I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention this morning. It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama-especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story…I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that.
There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.

This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.

“Can’t hold us down….”

With love,
C/X

Ceci, en particulier, ne vaut même pas la peine de perdre du souffle pour commenter ça. Je suis là depuis plus d’une décennie et je pense que mon travail parle de lui-même. [Plus jeune] je me serais plus impliquée, j’aurais été choquée par la comparaison. Aujourd’hui j’ai mon fils, ma famille et mon travail.

Pas d’arnaques, nous sommes tous inspirés par des choses différentes. Je me suis inspiré…par des artistes qui sont venus avant moi. Vous savez ce que j’aime au sujet de la nouvelle race des nouveaux arrivants c’est qu’ils prennent des risques. Ils font des choses qui ne sont pas si sûrs. J’ai toujours eu le courage et la passion de faire des choses comme ça. Je suis heureuse de voir que la boucle soit bouclée, que les gens acceptent maintenant et que ces filles ont le courage de la faire.

Cette personne a été portée à mon attention il n’y a pas si longtemps. Je ne suis pas vraiment sûre de qui elle est, pour être honnête. Je ne sais pas si c’est une homme ou une femme. Je n’en suis pas sûre. Je ne perds pas mon temps sur le net alors je suppose que je vis un peu en dehors de ça.

Akon produit Lady Gaga par le biais de son label Kon Live. Il compare la nouvelle icône à Christina Aguilera , sa jumelle de style et de voix.

Quand Lady Gaga a fait son arrivée fracassante dans le monde de la musique il y a à peine deux ans, tout le monde l'a comparé au début à Christina Aguilera, en terme d'excentricité vocale, de look déjanté, de créneau musical... et même physiquement parlant. Aujourd'hui, Lady Gaga a évidemment dépassé toutes les espérances et acquis un rang d'icône pop en moins de temps qu'aucun artiste avant elle. Et, de manière détournée, elle a poussé sur le bas-côté celle à qui on l'a si souvent comparée.

Akon, le rappeur et chanteur de r'n'b, parle de la comparaison entre les deux immenses chanteuses, et il connaît bien Lady Gaga car il la signe sur son propre label musical, Kon Live. "Ce n'est pas une question de compétition, Christina Aguilera a toujours eu son propre style et sa voie toute tracée. Mais aussitôt que Lady Gaga est arrivée, tout s'est inversé. Christina s'est retranchée dans sa coquille pour essayer d'être différente. Mais elle a beaucoup de talent, une voix incroyable. Je pense qu'il faut qu'elle croie plus en celle, elle manque d'assurance en voyant tout le succès de Lady Gaga, mais elle n'a pas l'air de se rappeler de son propre succès avant que Gaga ne débarque !", a analysé Akon dans le magazine Vibe.

En effet, la chanteuse révélée par Genie in a Bottle en 1999 a vécu une traversée du désert musicale entre 2006 et 2010, avec son prochain album, Bionic, qui sortira début juin prochain. Depuis le 30 mars, on peut écouter Not Myself Tonight , le premier single de ce nouvel album, qui étonne par ses accents électro-r'n'b, bien différent de ses précédentes productions assez pop.

Et Akon n'a pas l'air d'apprécier le virage musical pris par Christina Aguilera : "Elle ne devrait pas avoir de choses à prouver, et personne avec qui être en compétition. L'ancienne Christina me manque, je n'aime pas la nouvelle. Honnêtement, Gaga et Christina pourraient faire quelque chose d'extraordinaire ensemble, mais c'est impossible si elles essayent toutes les deux de faire exactement la même chose musicalement parlant".

Espérons que les fans de Christina Aguilera apprécie le virage pris par l'artiste ! Vous en pensez quoi de la nouvelle Aguilera ?

Christina Aguilera n'est pas contre l’idée de raconter à ses fans comment se passe sa vie sexuelle depuis qu’elle a un enfant.

Christina Aguilera a révélé qu’elle aime lire des romans à l’eau de rose, pleins d’histoire érotiques, pour se détendre après une longue journée de travail. Elle a également avoué que sa vie sexuelle est géniale : “Nous nous assurons d'avoir des nuits maman et papa. Notre enfant passe avant tout bien sûr, mais quand on sait qu'il est entre de bonnes mains, on sort tard le soir et on va boire quelques verres. Ensuite, on rentre, on éteint les lumières et on fait notre truc”.
La chanteuse ne veut donc pas sacrifier sa vie sexuelle depuis qu’elle est devenue mère, et cherche à concilier les deux. Elle continue d’ailleurs de passer ses dimanches nue, puisqu’elle a ajouté : “Il y a d’autres choses comme passer nos dimanches nus. Je pense qu’il est important pour Jordan et moi de ne pas se perdre. Bien sûr, avoir un enfant demande beaucoup de temps et d’attention, mais nous pensons qu’il est vraiment important de garder nos moments”.

NEW JEWELRY LINE WITH STEPHEN WEBSTER
Beginning in May Christina fans will be able to purchases unique pieces of jewelry designed with them in mind with the help of designer Stephen Webster. The pieces will be available through Christina’s official website, and all pieces will be priced under $100. More details coming soon.

I can’t say how I know right now, but Christina is shooting with Elle magazine Monday for a spread titled “Women in Music” for their July issue. No word on whether she’ll get the cover, but I don’t think so because they usually say cover shoot. Ellen von Unwerth will be shooting. Just thought you guys might like some little insider info.

Les admirateurs de Christina Aguilera seront mécontents d’apprendre qu’ils ne pourront pas entendre de nouvelles chansons de leur idole avant le début de l’été ou, pire, la fin de l’année.

Eh oui, la sortie du nouvel album de Christina, intitulé Bionic, vient d’être ENCORE repoussée! On dit pour le moment qu’il devrait être lancé au mois de juin, mais il pourrait aussi ne sortir que l’an prochain...

Tout dépend de l’horaire de Christina, qui préfère se concentrer sur sa vie de maman et sur le film Burlesque plutôt que de se replonger dans l’univers de la musique.
