Christina Aguilera: Juggling Music And Mommyhood Is Tough

Christina Aguilera has more to worry about than whether or not you dig her latest single.

The songstress and mom says even though she’s excited about the release of her new album, Bionic, getting back into the swing of things doesn’t come without a cost.

“The toughest part is the schedule — balancing that between being a mommy and being able to still concentrate and focus on the work,” Aguilera, 29, told PEOPLE at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday at Gibson Amphitheatre in L.A.

“I’ll go and tuck my son in at night and sing him to sleep [with] a lullaby, and then I go in the studio and sing. It’s definitely a challenge and a balancing act, but one that I take on. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Aguilera says one of the most important things about raising her 2-year-old son Max Liron with husband Jordan Bratman is allowing him to grow up in a happy-go-lucky environment.

“I really like to let him be creative and give him the freedom to really have fun,” she says.

“I think fun is a really big element of life itself, and being able to take in the small things. I’m instilling that in him early — being playful, and allowing him to get messy and dirty as a boy and just have fun — to really push for his individuality.”

One thing Aguilera doesn’t care about? People who want to trash her. As she says in ‘Not Myself Tonight,’ “If you don’t like it, eff you!”

Kylie Minogue Plans To Promote New Album In U.S.

Kylie Minogue has revealed that she is planning to promote her new album Aphrodite in America.

The 42-year-old told the Daily Star that she believes the forthcoming disc could provide her best chance of cracking the lucrative US market.

Minogue explained: "I feel like this is my best album yet. I really feel positive about America this time.

"I sprung into action last year on my tour over there. The fans were so amazing. It was the first time they saw me, but it was like preaching to the converted. I can't wait to go back and try again."

The popstar had previously suggested that she was not keen to focus on America after her last album X charted poorly there.

Aphrodite will be released next month.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's Housewarming Invitation

It wasn't just any housewarming in Hidden Hills, Calif., Saturday night. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were providing the heat, as the couple not only welcomed A-listers to their sprawling new San Fernando Valley residence but planned to cap the celebration by renewing their marital vows on what is their sixth wedding anniversary.

"They wanted to celebrate their new home and their sixth anniversary by renewing their vows," a source tells PEOPLE. "They're excited about their new life together as a family in California and wanted to kick it off with a great party."

Among those on the 200-guest invitation list, says a source, are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

"Jen is very excited about sharing her special night with her family and friends," the source adds. "The party will be spectacular. Guests will enjoy dancing until the morning hours."

Like the invitation, the party features an art deco-theme with the colors gold and silver. The card, which features a large gold key, reads, in full:

A NEW BEGINNING
PLEASE JOIN US AS WE
"WARM OUR HOUSE"
with a
6th
ANNIVERSARY PARTY

JUNE 5TH, 2010 AT 8:30 PM

Jennifer & Marc Anthony Muniz

Renewing their vows is becoming something of a tradition for the couple – who got the ball rolling for the first time in 2008. That year – which also brought the February birth of their twins, Max and Emme – they also did it up big by joining New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran and his wife Jessica for a joint vow-renewal ceremony in Las Vegas.

As for their humble abode, it is anything but. Purchased by the couple earlier this year for just under $10 million, it is spectacular and ultra private. All told, within its three acres there are nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, panoramic city views, rolling lawns, a swimming pool and a tennis court. Also inside: a fabulous 20-seat theater, a recording studio and a wine cellar.

Pink's Tour Bus Catches On Fire!

This is definitely not what Pink meant when she sang "Get the Party Started."

On the way to Munich from Berlin during the European leg of her circus-themed Funhouse Summer Carnival trek, the M!ssundaztood singer's tour bus caught fire early Monday.

Luckily no one was hurt in the mishap.

According to published reports quoting German officials, a faulty particle filter in the vehicle's exhaust system ignited around 5 a.m. The driver pulled the bus to the side of the road and put the flames out with a fire extinguisher before emergency responders arrived.

While Pink was not onboard at time of the incident, eight musicians from her backing band were.

But the show must go on—and did, with the entourage getting to their its destination on a substitute bus and Pink's concert in Berlin scheduled to go on as planned.

The jaunt continuesin the coming days with gigs in the U.K. and Ireland, including a plum spot in the Isle of Wight Festival and stadium shows in Belfast and Dublin.

Mariah's New Christmas Album: "Very Lush, Lots Of Strings & No Hip Hop"

Mariah Carey is expecting a bundle of joy this December! It's a... new Christmas album!

While People, US Weekly, Radar Online and the rest of tabs hound the 40 old year songstress for news of a blessed birth, Carey is busy indeed gestating.

She's working hard on a Christmas album, with all new versions of her hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." That song is now the most peopular of all holiday songs, downloaded more and played more than even "White Christmas."

So Mariah has smarted up, brought in best pals Jermaine Dupri and Randy Jackson, and they are hard at work getting together their Christmas surprise.

As for the alleged baby–kids, Mariah is not going to tell us anything until the time is right and she's comfortable with it. A 40 year old woman is not going to announce a pregnancy before the fourth month. If you remember, Jennifer Lopez never did announce she was with child.

Anyway, Mariah's Christmas album is said to be very lush, with lots of strings and no hip hop. A lot of it is said to be "live" and there's an ochestra. So let's chew on that news, and calm down about the other. And believe me, she won't be announcing anything at Radar Online owned by the National Enquirer. That won't be happening!

Britney Spears Finally Getting A Little Freedom?

Britney Spears' dad, Jamie Spears, is the official conservator and has the power to make life decisions for his daughter. But our sources say Jamie has quite intentionally pulled back and is allowing Britney to control her life, where she goes, what she does with her kids, etc.

As for when the conservatorship will end -- it's sketchy. Late last year, sources told TMZ the plan was to end the conservatorship around this time. But it now looks like the conservatorship will last at least 'til the end of summer. We're told for his part, Jamie would like to set Britney free and get back home to Louisiana.

Sources tell us the court-appointed psychiatrist has conducted a new evaluation and is submitting his findings to the court. Everyone involved -- including the shrink -- say Britney is like a different person from the one who was on a 5150 in January 2008.

One final note, although Britney is making her own life decisions, the conservatorship over Britney Spears "the business" will stay in place indefinitely.

Celine Dion Pregnant With Twins!

After everything Céline Dion went through trying to get pregnant again, a little morning sickness is nothing. In fact, it's great.

"The first two months I really felt the classical symptoms. The morning sickness, hot flashes, nausea," the singer, 42, tells the French magazine Paris Match in a new interview. "In a certain way, that reassured me, like a sign that my pregnancy was progressing. Now, everything is falling into place. I have a little belly. I've gained [10 lbs.]."

Dion confirms she's expecting twins in November, and says this sixth attempt at in-vitro fertilization was going to be her last if it hadn't worked. "We believed in trying one more time," she says. "If [the doctor] had told me that my body was too tired, I would have given up."

Instead, she's looking forward to two new babies – she'll learn their gender in another week – who will join big brother René-Charles, 9. It's been a while since they were new parents, but Dion and her husband and manager René Angélil plan on replicating the routines they had with their first child.

"We'll do the same thing we did with René-Charles, who stayed with us in our bedroom for the first year," says Dion. "We'll keep them near us, too, because we have a big bed."

The couple haven't picked out names yet but are making plenty of other plans. They won't use any nannies – "Too many people in the house disorient children," Dion says – but will call on Dion's sister Linda and her husband Alain for help. "My only task is to make my children happy," Dion says. "And too bad if the house sometimes becomes a mess."

One question: whether René-Charles might feel a bit jealous after enjoying all the attention as an only child for so long. But Dion is prepared for that, too. "We're sensitive enough to not be blinded by the marvel of the newborns," she says. "We have a deep relationship of nine and a half years with René-Charles, and I'll be able to see when he needs me."

Tyler Perry Addresses Mariah Carey Quitting Colored Girls

In a letter to his fans, Tyler Perry admits that he was caught off guard by Mariah Carey's sudden withdrawal from his latest film, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf, while also adding that Thandie Newton, Michael Ealy, and Tessa Thompson have been included to the cast.

"I'm there on vacation, celebrating life, thanking God and just relaxing when I get a message that I have to come home, that Mariah has dropped out of the film! I said "What? You're kidding? It's five she has to go to work, nobody does that. We have a deal. IT'S FIVE DAYS BEFORE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO GO TO WORK! So, I got on the plane and came home and started trying to re-cast this major role in the film."

"I land and get to the studio, and I'm like, what happened? I was told that we got a call, saying that even though our deal was done, she had been advised by her doctor not to do the film. I said "What? You know I want a doctor's note, don't you?!"...LOL," states Perry.

While widespread speculation is that Carey is pregnant, neither the singer or her husband Nick Cannon have confirmed such report.

"But to tell you the truth, I don't know what that means and, unlike the tabloids, I won't speculate. All I know is that I'm waiting just like the rest of the world to find out what happened."

Perry goes to say that he hopes the best for Mariah, "In spite of this, what you need to know is that I am a huge Mariah Carey fan and always will be. What I do know of the woman is that she is a professional and wouldn't back out of a deal unless it was a major issue. So, whatever is going on, I wish her and Nick the best, and she has all my love, prayers and support. I just wish I could have finished my Mai Tai before I had to get back and re-cast this role!"

The Enquirer is reporting that Whitney Houston has ballooned to 175 pounds while on her "Nothing But Love" tour in Europe.

The photo shows a sizable Whit taking the stage in Germany on May 27th. Some experts say the weight gain is probably due to steroid injections or prednisone treatments for her respiratory infection.

But people on tour say she's just "pigging out" constantly on room service and fast food, showing "no sign of slowing down."

Remembering Rue: The Best of Blanche Devereaux

R.I.P: Golden Girls Star Rue McClanahan Dies At 76

Golden Girl Rue McClanahan has died at the age of 76.

"She passed away at 1 a.m. this morning," her manager, Barbara Lawrence, stated. "She had a massive stroke."

McClanahan, who played man-happy Blanche Devereaux on the still-popular '80s sitcom Golden Girls, had suffered a minor stroke earlier this year while recovering from bypass surgery. Lawrence adds that at the time of her death Thursday, McClanahan "had her family with her. She went in peace."

For Betty White the loss of her costar Rue McClanahan struck hard.

"Rue was a close and dear friend. I treasure our relationship,"
White, 88, said in a statement. "It hurts more than I ever thought it would, if that's even possible."

Golden Girls producer and writer Marc Cherry also expressed sadness over McClanahan's death. "When I worked on The Golden Girls, my favorite character to write for was Blanche Devereaux," he said Friday. "In the hands of lesser actresses Blanche's vanity and sexual appetite would have been off-putting. But in Rue's brilliant hands, that character became one of the most beloved in the history of T.V. Rue's kindness, generosity and enormous talent will be sorely missed."

Still in syndication, Golden Girls ran on NBC from 1985 to 1992. Only last year, McClanahan's costar, Beatrice Arthur, died from cancer. Estelle Getty died in 2008. Surviving star Betty White, 88, is currently enjoying a remarkable resurgence in her career, having recently hosted Saturday Night Live.

Born in Healdton, Okla., Rue lived in six towns by the time she was 8. Her father was a road builder who moved from one project to another. She found solace in acting ("the only thing I ever wanted to do") and after four years at the University of Tulsa moved to New York, where she worked as a part-time file clerk while trying to find jobs in the theater.

Her first job was off Broadway, in 1957, and she finally hit Broadway in 1969. TV work came from soap operas, until she made it on CBS's Maude, starring Beatrice Arthur, starting in 1972. She played Maude's best friend Vivian.

But it was Golden Girls that put her on the map and led to fame, fortune – and several husbands. In all, she had six, including actor Morrow Wilson, whom she wed in 1997 and who survives her, as does a son, Mark Bish, from her first marriage.

As McClanahan told PEOPLE in 1986: "I've always been lucky enough to marry good cooks. One cooked Greek. One cooked Tex-Mex – chili and stuff." Then, with a laugh, she added, "True, one needed a recipe to make a peanut butter sandwich ..."

Victoria Beckham's DIVA Demands

Victoria Beckham apparently has quite the list of demands for what's to be in her dressing room when shes at photoshoots. These demands are up there with fellow DIVAS Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez.

Demands Include:

"Chopped fresh fruit - cut pineapple with grated lime peel, green seedless grapes, red grapes (frozen), cut-up pear with lemon juice, apples, peeled pink grapefruit, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.

"Please DO NOT MIX up the fruit but keep separate. She's obsessed with fruit and can't get enough. The list always gets a chuckle from the lackeys who have to go and get this stuff. If we mix the fruit up there's hell to pay. But it's Victoria Beckham. What she wants she gets.


"Plain Green salad (no dressings on it) - balsamic vinegar on the side. This is NOT balsamic vinaigrette but PLAIN balsamic vinegar. The thicker version so either aged/glazed balsamic (buy at Wholefoods in USA) or take regular and reduce it on the hob. There is never a request for anything with more than a handful of calories. We joked about leaving a Big Mac in the dressing room - but we know we'd get fired."

Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey Have Baby Names Ready?

Nick Cannon reiterated Thursday that his wife, Mariah Carey, will say what she wants to say about rumors that she's pregnant when she's ready. But if and when they do have kids, the couple have an unconventional plan for baby names.

"We're gonna do it like George Foreman," Cannon, 29, joked on his morning radio show. "We're gonna name all of our kids Mariah no matter if they're boys or girls. ... Mariah No. 1, Boy Mariah, Man Mariah, Tall Mariah. It's gonna be a house full of people named Mariah."

Foreman, 61, the former world-champion boxer, famously named all his five sons George.

In terms of the ongoing speculation that the pop superstar, 40, is pregnant, Cannon echoed what he wrote on Twitter Wednesday, which is that his wife will speak publicly, if she has any news, when the time is right for her.

"I'm pretty sure that when my wife is ready to make any announcement it won't be to the media, to the public, first," he said. "She'll tell her family, she'll tell her friends, and then, you know, when she's ready to share with the rest of the world, who is her extended family and friends, then she'll let everybody know."

She knows what she's doing, Cannon added. "My wife has been in this business for a long time and dealt with so many things, she knows how to handle herself. She's a very, very strong woman, probably the strongest woman I know, and I love her dearly. So, when she tells me something, I'll tell y'all, probably after I tell my mama."

Cannon also said he and Carey do want to have kids, but it isn't something you can always schedule precisely.

"It's probably a question I get asked more than anything: When are we having children?" he said. "Of course, being married you want to start a family. ... But you can't say, 'Well yeah, next week, Thursday, on the 4th, we gonna do this, and then we plan on having the child.' You know, you gotta leave all that stuff to God. That's in God's hands. So, when it happens, it happens, and we'll be happy."
