Even our favorite celebrities have to brave the holiday shopping crowds to fulfill the wish lists of their friends and families. And yesterday Christina Aguilera was spotted purchasing a few items on a family shopping trip.
The “Keeps Getting Better” songstress was joined by her husband Jordan Bratman and son Max as she arrived at a West Hollywood book and gift store.

Fresh off of the launch of her new fragrance “Fancy,” Christina Aguilera and her husband Jason Bratman were spotted wandering about Los Angeles on Saturday night (December 6).
Enjoying quality time together, the pop diva and her music marketer hubby paid a visit to a nearby restaurant before being spotted leaving through the take-out entrance awhile later.

Christina Aguilera skanked it up for the good shoppers of Macy?s in Los Angeles on Friday. She was promoting her latest perfume at the local mall. I assumed this was a new one, since the last one came out three months ago. Which isn?t a long time by any means, but it seems quite a while to be promoting the same old thing. But it is in fact the same old thing. I?m not sure if Christina is just a really hard worker and absolutely committed to making her perfume the best selling fragrance around, or if she?s just got nothing better to do.
Judging by the outfit she?s wearing, what I imagine probably happened is that Christina was wandering through the mall bored and wasn?t getting enough attention from the paparazzi. So she went over to Macy?s, grabbed a bottle of her vile smelling stuff, and started posing. At first people ignored her, but then the photographers, realizing how embarrassing this whole debacle was becoming, took pity on her and snapped a few courtesy shots. Eventually a crowd gathered, curious as to why Christina was hawking her wares in a summer sundress that was clearly patched together using one of her grandma?s old quilts.
To make Christina feel less stupid for leaving the house in a bad wig and a dress that?s more fitting for an afternoon of sunning oneself, a few people probably bought some perfume. Everything considered, it was an all-around success. Except for her makeup. And the dress. And the smell of the perfume. And the expressions on her face. But aside from all those things, it was aces all around.

If you’ve ever wondered what Christina Aguilera smells like when she hits the clubs, the mystery is over. The “Ain’t No Other Man” songstress unveiled her new fragrance last night at Macy’s at the Glendale Galleria in Los Angeles.
Named “Inspire,” Christina’s new scent is said to be a mix of fruity scents, including mango, citrus, and freesia, along with a floral array including tuberose, gardenia, rose, and sandalwood.

Many announcement ceremonies for major televised awards shows are done in press conference form, often star-studded, but nothing with any production value. In an increased effort to stay relevant, the Grammys decided to take a different approach, making a mini-event night of it with new stars doing nostalgic performances between the nominee announcements.
CBS aired the Grammy Nominations Concert that was mercifully shorter and even more entertaining than the actual Grammys usually are. The show opened with Mariah Carey in a 60’s inspired Christmas number, ?Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)?. There weren’t alot of close-ups, but from what I saw, Mariah looked great, sounded great, and wasn’t lip syncing. Christmas songs are kind of Carey’s element.
Mariah Carey “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”
The show was hosted by LL Cool J and Taylor Swift. LL always seems so laid back and easy going, and hosting works for him. Taylor held her own and got better as the show went on. She’s young and truthfully didn’t seem to know anything more about LL than what was on the cue cards, though. Needless to say, it was LL who mini-interviewed The Jonas Brothers after their first, and only, nomination.
Ne-Yo announced the nominees for Best New Artist: Adele, Duffy, The Jonas Brothers, Lady Antebellum, Jazmin Sullivan.
Celine Dion took the cheese level off the chart with “Too Young at 17? which is a borderline cheesy song, anway (although, the kind of cheese you can’t help but love, like this garlic and herb gournay from Costco I’m eating right now!). But as great a voice as Dion has, you add her turn of phrase to an already yummy cheese song, it instantly becomes Cheez Whiz. Throw in the way she looks longingly into the camera and it’s spray can cheese.
Celine Dion - “Too Young at 17?
Celine announced the nominees for Album of the Year: Coldplay “Viva la Vida”, Lil Wayne “Tha Carter III”, Ne-Yo “Year of the Gentleman”, Robert Plant & Alison Kraus “Raising Sand”, Radiohead “In Rainbows”
Foo Fighters laid down the Foo on Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain.” I wouldn’t have thought anyone could rock out to a Carly Simon hit, but Dave Grohl can often pull things off you never expected. Loved it!

Dave then announced the nominees for Best Collaboration with Vocals: Alicia Keys & John Mayer “Lessons Learned”, Madonna Justin Timberlake & Timbaland “4 Minutes”, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss “Rich Woman”, Rhianna & Maroon 5 “If I Never See Your Face Again”, Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown “No Air”
And Best Country Performance: Brooks & Dunn “God Must Be Busy”, Lady Antebellum “Love Don’t Live Here”, Rascall Flatts “Everyday”, The Steel Drivers “Blue Side of the Mountain, Sugarland “Stay”
Christina Aguilera once again vocally blew everyone away with her verson of Billie Holiday’s “I Love You Porgy” from Porgy & Bess. It was fantastic. She also looked lovely, with relatively understated makeup.

Taylor Swift did an less than stellar rendition of Brenda Lee’s “I’m Sorry” but Joe Jonas was sitting right in the front row so that had to feel good for her, probably a little uncomfortable for him. Swift’s performance improved considerably when she switched to her own “White Horse” which was just as appropriately aimed at Jonas.
Taylor Swift - “I’m Sorry” and “White Horse”
Taylor announced the nominees for Best Rap Duo or Group: Big Boi, Raekwon & Andre 300 “Royal Flush”, Jay Z, TI, Kanye West & Lil Wayne “Swagger Like Us”, Lil Wayne & JayZ “Mr. Carter”, Ludacris & TI “Wish You Would”, Young Jeezy & Kanye West “Put On”
John Mayer was in his comfort zone, where he actually makes some pretty good music, with BB King, playing and singing some great old R&B. Mayer should make more of this kind of music than his corny pop ballads. He’s not without talent. I do hope he didn’t think the standing O was in any way for him, though. BB King is legend.

Mayer announced the nominees for Record of the Year: Adele “Chasing Pavements”, Coldplay “Viva La Vida”, Leona Lewis “Bleeding Love”, MIA “Paper Planes”, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss “Please Read the Letter”
The 51st Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 8th.

The 2009 Grammy Nominations were announced last night via a first-ever televised primetime concert with Christina Aguilera, John Mayer and Mariah Carey. The show also marked the grand opening of the new Grammy Museum, which officially opens to the public this weekend. People Magazine says
The event was cohosted by Taylor Swift and LL Cool J. Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye West were other top Grammy nominees ? each with six nods. Radiohead was nominated for five awards, as were Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
Album of the year contenders included Coldplay (Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends); rapper Lil Wayne (Tha Carter III); Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (Raising Sand); R&B singer Ne-Yo (Year of the Gentleman); and British alt-rock heroes Radiohead (In Rainbows). Pop-rock trio the Jonas Brothers led the list of best new artist nominees, along with British soul singers Adele and Duffy.
CBS will broadcast the 51st Grammy Awards live from Los Angeles’s Staples Center on Feb. 8.
In what bizarre world is Radiohead pitted against the likes of L’il Wayne and Ne-Yo? That’s like comparing the proverbial apples and oranges. Critically acclaimed, actual instrument-playing apples and spoken-word-over-tracks-they’ve-lifted-from-other-more-talented-apples’-songs oranges. It’s not even fair. Perhaps next year they can create a category for “best crotch grab” and “most convincing slouch-and-squat in front of a bunch of chicks in bikinis’ asses” category. That way, the rappers won’t feel left out.

The “Ain’t No Other Man” songstress was looking fit and fine as she arrived at the Nokia Theatre, sporting a shiny strapless Monique Lhulier dress teamed with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels and Webster jewels.
