Good Lord. We get it, Christina. You’re a sexy bombshell, and no one has ever done anything as original as you. Except for Bette Page, Madonna, Dita von Teese, and countless others. Speaking of Madge, Christina ever wears a cone-bra in the photo shoot for GQ Germany (below). What the hell? There’s a fine line between homage and just flat-out unoriginal copycatting, and Christina blew through the “homage” line a long time ago. As CB pointed out here and here, Christina is basically just doing Madonna circa Express Yourself through Human Nature, musically, stylistically, and contextually. It’s sad.

Christina is also the cover girl for the new issue of Latina, and she’s wearing so much makeup in the cover shot that even the Kardashians are like “Honey, take it down a notch.” In the interview excerpts, Christina is still saying the same old stuff about how her dad was an abusive jackass. While I believe her, I’ve also heard these quotes at least six times.

These days, singer Christina Aguilera is a happy wife (to Jordan Bratman) and mom (to 2-year-old son Max). One person not in her life? Her estranged father Fausto Aguilera. Their relationship, Aguilera tells Latina magazine, is “pretty nonexistent. I’m in a place in my life where I just don’t see a reason for it.”

The pop star has said that Fausto, a former U.S. Army Sergeant, was emotionally and physically abusive; he and her mom, Shelly Kearns, split when Christina was just seven, and she rarely saw him after that.

“To remember the chaos that [my mother] went through, the abuse, I don’t know how she did it,” Aguilera, 29, tells Latina. “But it’s amazing how much you can trick your mind into surviving when you have to.”

“There’s always room for forgiveness,” the “Not Myself Tonight” songstress adds. “And I do forgive–but you grow up and make choices for your family.”

In 1999 — when Aguilera first became a teen pop rival to Britney Spears — she reunited with Fausto after 12 years following an NYC concert. “We spoke for the first time in a long while. Really, he’s a stranger to me,” she told Rolling Stone at the time. “He’s apologized,” she added. “I think he had a lot of guilt.”

Things are infinitely better with Bratman, whom she married in 2005. “Jordy was the calm in the storm when everybody else was driving me crazy,” she tells Latina.

“I had a lot of older people around me who were conniving–and these people do that so you cling to them. He was the person who reached down, pulled me out and made me see reason. I’m very lucky to have him.”

The June issue of Latina hits stands May 25.

She also did a recent radio interview where she claimed that she‘s now “more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I think I’m even a more sexual Christina… That’s part of the change of having a child for me – seeing your body do these things you never thought possible. When you have a baby, you go through a period where your body is not your own. It becomes for your child and that’s it. Once you bounce back from that and kind of get your body back … I feel better than ever. It’s a great feeling.” That may be true. But I’m always wary of people who are trying that hard to convince you of how sexy they feel. Plus, she’s like Jessica Alba to me – whenever I see photos of her, all I think is “That poor miserable little girl.”
