Christina Maria Aguilera was born on December 18, 1980, in Staten Island, New York. Her parents divorced when she was young and she lived with her mother, although they moved around quite a bit. Christina's goal almost since birth was to be a singer, and at age 12 she was invited to audition for MMC(1989). She wound up getting the part and stayed there for a few years, until the show ended. In 1999 she had her breakthrough hit, "Genie in a Bottle". Since then she's made millions of fans, sold millions of records and has won many Awards including a Grammy for best new female artist. She has even made a Latin album and will be working on a second one. A Christmas album has also been released.
Known for her powerful voice and her ability to sing acapella.
Wears bright blue contact lenses, even though her eyes are already naturally blue (albeit a darker blue).
Christina is currently filming the musical Burlesque in which she plays a small-town girl who ventures to LA and finds her place in a neo-burlesque club run by a former dancer — played by Cher.
Aguilera’s weight gain has left many insiders mystified.
“It’s bizarre Christina has put on so much weight as she’s been doing lots of dancing and high energy work for Burlesque,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.
“The whole movie is choreography and she was very active so I’m surprised she’s piled on the pounds so quickly.”
It’s believed Christina has piled on at least a stone over the past three months
Christina Aguilera showed off a noticeably fuller figure at last night’s Michael Jackson tribute concert, where she stepped on the stage in a black corset / leotard and fishnets.
