Getting ready for the Halloween holiday, Christina Aguilera joined husband Jordan Bratman to take their son Max to Mr Bones Pumpkin Patch in West Hollywood on Sunday (October 11).
There to pick out a pumpkin for the family home, the trio were all smiles as they scoured the grounds for the perfect gourd.
Aside from tending to her family, Miss Aguilera has signed on to star in the upcoming film “Burlesque” alongside Kristen Bell.
According to reports, “the story follows a young small-town girl (Aguilera) as she ventures into the city in the hopes of becoming a star. Soon she discovers an L.A. burlesque bar, where the men are fast and the women faster. She quickly uses her amazing voice and burlesque dancing to become the joint’s new star.”

Out for a night of fun with friends, Christina Aguilera and husband, Jordan Bratman, were spotted in Venice Beach, CA on the Abbot Kinney stretch last night (October 2).
The “Candyman” songstress looked sexy in a hat with a sheer black top over a bright blue bra, jeans and boots.
In other news, Aguilera recently finished her still un-titled album, but is not ready for its release. Instead, the singer wants to film her movie “Burlesque” before the album hits stores.
According to music producer, Tricky Stewart, “She’s gonna do the film first. She didn’t want to not be able to promote this record because it’s gonna be a big record for her.”

Christina Aguilera may have finished work on her new album, but that doesn't mean she's rushing to get it into stores. Producer Tricky Stewart, who worked with Aguilera on the still-untitled album, reveals that she wants to film her new movie, "Burlesque," before she puts the LP out there.
"The album is finished. She's mixing. She hasn't made a final decision about what the first single is, but I know everyone feels good about their options," he told Rapup.com. "She's gonna do the film first. She didn't want to not be able to promote this record because it's gonna be a big record for her."
Stewart, who has worked with everyone from Beyonc to Rihanna, thinks that this album, like so many of Aguilera's in the past, shows another side of the singer. "It's just great. I wouldn't say that it's alternative, I wouldn't say that it's different," Stewart explained. "Christina's always been an artist that moves the bar and that's what the great ones do. They don't stay in the same place for too long, and this album is just another move for her."
As for collaborations, Aguilera has already talked about working with M.I.A. and Santigold on the album, but Stewart is revealing that she also hit the studio with another unexpected artist. "I know that there's a lot of other cool features, like I know that she has Santigold and Flo Rida on there," he said. "I put Flo Rida on my record because I love what he does. I think sometimes he doesn't get credit for being as dope as he is, but he's really dope."
Aguilera went retro for her Back to Basics album, and she's already touched on her love of the future on her song "Keeps Getting Better." But according to Stewart, this album harks back to her work from seven years ago, when she went a bit raunchy.
"I really feel it's one of her best bodies of work that I've heard since Stripped. I think it's really, really amazing and I think it's well put together," he said. "She's mixing it up again. She's singing R&B again, she's doing pop. She's doing it all, but she's found a way to make it all meet in the middle because she's so many different things."
As for Aguilera's ability to change up her musical style, Stewart credits that to her natural abilities as a singer. "She's a real serious musician, she's a real serious pop artist, and she's a real serious singer," he said. "She's making all her audiences happy at the same time."

This was all news to me, but apparently Christina Aguilera?s father was a very abusive man. Christina has opened up about this before, telling USA Today in 2006 that ?We lived on Army bases when I was little, and it (domestic violence) was happening a lot. The MPs (military police) would come, but a lot of them were doing the same things (to their wives and kids). I was surrounded with domestic violence, not only in my home but my friends.? CB just pointed out that Christina has been talking openly about her abusive past for years now, and many of these quotes may be old - I think a couple of them are new, but we?ll see.
According to The Sun, Christina and her mother are opening up even more about the abuse for a new E! documentary. Christina tells a story about how, as a four-year-old, her father was so violent, Christina was left ?drenched in blood?. It was that incident that made Christina?s mother, Shelly, finally leave. The Sun also has quotes from Christina?s father, Fausto, who sounds like a son of a bitch:
A FOUR-year-old Christina Aguilera was left drenched in blood after her father violently attacked her - for innocently disturbing his “nap”.
The pop star and her mum SHELLY KEARNS have opened up about the abuse they suffered at the hands of army sergeant FAUSTO in a new E! documentary.
Shelly recalled: “I scooped her up and said, ‘Oh my God. What’s wrong?’ She told me, ‘Daddy wanted to take a nap and I made too much noise.’”
The alleged horror incident was the final straw for Shelly, who packed up and fled the family home with Christina and her other daughter RACHEL. But the painful memories of her life before that moment remain as vivid as ever for the Beautiful singer.
Christina said: “I witnessed a lot of unpleasant things - a lot of pushing and shoving and fighting and quarrelling. Growing up I did not feel safe. Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world.”
Christina also revealed that her passion for music was borne out of her tormented childhood. She added: “I turned to singing as an outlet. The pain at home is where my love for music came from.”
Christina is adamant Fausto’s pleas for forgiveness will always fall on deaf ears. She said: “I let him back into my life briefly but I soon realised that he is not necessary in my life.”
In 2002, Fausto vehemently denied Shelly’s previous allegation that he was “very cruel and abusive” towards his family. He retaliated: “My relationship with her mother was tense and I wasn’t perfect. But I love Christina and her sister Rachel. I never abused them in any way and they know that.?
“Shelly and I disagreed on a lot of things and we both had hot tempers. I’m sorry to have ever raised a hand to my wife, but it was never brutal like IKE and TINA TURNER. Still, even though it’s been exaggerated, I respect Shelly and Christina’s right to remember things differently.”
The couple’s 10-year marriage ended in 1989.

I literally had no idea that Christina had this kind of violence in her past. Now I really feel for the girl. I f-cking hate any abuser who uses the ?I?m not perfect? excuse as a way to whitewash his actions. It?s like, ?Oh, I?m sorry! I hated you because I expected you to be perfect, but now that you?ve reminded me that you?re not, I accept you!? Not so much - and Fausto?s statement re-enforces (for me) the idea that he?s a pathetic, violent man.
Here?s Christina and husband Jordan Bratman on their way to dinner on August 15th. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

Christina Aguilera has spoken quite a bit about how her upcoming album is taking her sound in a new, electro-disco direction thanks to collaborations with Goldfrapp, Ladytron, M.I.A., Santigold, Sia and Le Tigre.
But in a two-hour interview scheduled to air Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on E!, "Christina Aguilera: An E! Entertainment Special," the Grammy-winning belter reveals a bit more about husband Jordan Bratman as well as the influence the couple's toddler son, Max, has had on her new studio adventures.

She’s no stranger to a travel-intensive lifestyle and last night (August 24) Christina Aguilera was spotted catching a flight at LAX International Airport.
Joined by her husband Jordan Bratman, the “Genie in a Bottle” songstress looked to have left her baby son Max Liron home with a babysitter.
And as she went through the security checkpoint, Christina lifted up her hair to reveal the “Xtina” tattoo on the back of her neck.
Speaking of her forthcoming album, Ms. Aguilera told press, “I kind of had an idea for a futuristic feel for many years now, but I also had that idea that I wanted to do a soul, blues and jazz record also. But I knew I had to do that one first ... It’s always been in the back of my mind to do a more futuristic sound. But I felt like it couldn’t have been a better time or place for me personally also as a new mom.”

Enjoying a relaxing date night out on the town, Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman were spotted making their way around Los Angeles on Saturday (August 15).
The “Genie in a Bottle” babe and her hubby opted for a little Italian cuisine at one of their favorite spots, Osteria Mozza restaurant on Melrose Avenue.
The dinner date night comes as Miss Aguilera busily works away on a brand new album - the first since taking a break to tend to her young son, Max Liron.
Of the new album, Christina told MTV News, “I know I can’t let too much out the bag too soon. I just can’t, ‘cause I really want you guys to be surprised and to experience firsthand what I’m talking about or what I’m not talking too much about. Too soon in the game, but wrapping everything up now.”
She continues, “I think I’m most proud of this work than I’ve ever been, just because I worked with so many amazing and incredibly talented people. [Sia and I] did a lot of work on this record together, and she’s just a complete gem. She’s truly just such a talented force to be reckoned with. And I so enjoyed her company, and I think we really created some super crazy magic together. I got a chance to sort of write with Santigold, M.I.A., Lady Tron — artists that I really love.”

Christina Aguilera is doing anything but getting back to basics on her new music. The singer called in to her station on A.P.E. Radio earlier this week and dished a bit about her forthcoming album, noting that she hit the studio with a wide range of artists to experiment on her sound.
"I know I can't let too much out the bag too soon," she said. "I just can't, 'cause I really want you guys to be surprised and to experience firsthand what I'm talking about or what I'm not talking too much about. Too soon in the game, but wrapping everything up now."

Trying to find balance in her personal and professional duties, Christina Aguilera has the urge to expand her family – but is worried about another career setback by doing so.
Miss Aguilera, who gave birth to baby Max last January, is currently busy setting up her own radio station and readying to star in “Burlesque” – while her hubby Jordan Bratman is pushing for more kiddies.
“Christina loves her family time with Jordan and Max and now she has a studio at home, being a mum and working at the same time is a real possibility — but she doesn’t know if she wants to give up her other pursuits just yet,” a source close to the singer tells press.
“She has just signed for a new movie and has her radio venture too, so she feels now’s not a good time to have another baby — although she would adore another one. Especially a little girl.”

She has always had a special place in her heart for the less fortunate, having come from a modest background, and Christina Aguilera was spotted filming a public service announcement for charity yesterday (July 15).
The “Ain’t No Other Man” songstress looked lovely as she donated her time and talent to the Christian charity World Hunger Relief, shooting the spot at Hollywood and Highland in Los Angeles.
Prior to that, Ms. Aguilera was given the honor of being named the global spokesperson for the charity for her passion to help the hungry.
As part of the gig, Christina will be appearing on the organization’s From Hunger to Hope website, and her commercial will begin airing in the fall.
