Following last weekend’s rather rough showing at the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Wales, Christina Aguilera and her boy-toy Matt Rutler are back stateside, in LA, where they headed out to the pumpkin patch with Christina‘s son Max. I always dislike this time of year in Celebrity-ville, just because every famewhore with a kid somehow ends up at the one paparazzi-friendly pumpkin patch in LA, where they pose in a series of “Look at me, I’m a great parent!” situations. Now, many of them might be great parents. And yes, this is the one pumpkin patch that includes “extras” for the kids, like a slide and maybe some face-paint stations. Still! Grumble, grumble. I know, I know, I’m a curmudgeon about these things. I should just let go and think, “Hey, celebrities at the pumpkin patch, with their cute kids!” But I end up thinking, “Is this really the ONLY pumpkin patch in LA? Seriously?”
As you can see, Christina is following the Kirstie Alley School of Style. Whenever Kristie gains weight, it’s all spandex and layers, always an odd mix. I have a theory, though. Remember how Kirstie used to claim she was a “stretchy size 6” when she was obviously, like, a size 18? I think Christina does the same thing – as that random nutritionist said the other day, Christina is likely “unaware” of her weight gain, and the spandex pants probably help that delusion. And before you start yelling at me – look, as I said before, if I thought Christina just gained a few pounds because she liked food, no one would care. But she looks unhealthy, and my un-medical opinion is that her significant weight gain is from her heavy, extreme boozing. She’s not a healthy girl, emotionally or physically. Sorry to get all concern-troll-y. But she bugs, and she has a crappy personality anyway, so who cares? Oh, and Matt Rutler is looking kind of rough too, right?

Those pants are NOT doing her any favors.
This can’t be just a photo-op at a reclusive pumpkin patch. Look at the size of that pumpkin they bought!!!! I don’t have a knife in my kitchen big enough to carve such a monster.
btw-Studio filters not withstanding, she does a good job with Maroon 5 in “I’ve got the moves like Jagger”.
Of course, if she tried those moves today, chiropracter tomorrow.
That fried hair, or unkempt extensions, or both – awful.
Christina isn’t doing herself any favors right now, looking like that, clothes, hair, weight gain, make-up.
Poor Max, he doesn’t seem to like it there.
They are probably hungover here. Yeah Christina really has no sense of style, she can gain as much weight as she wants, but girl.. there are so many nice clothes for your body type. She just ignores them.
And I agree, this cannot be the only freaking pumpkin patch out there, it is the one with the most PR.
Total hesher.
Please. She’s not old enough and he’s not good looking enough to be called a ‘boy toy’.
When did snooki dye her hair?
What’s with the death grip hand-holding. I feel bad for her son.
she looks terrible. all that money and she cant hire a personal trainer.
It’s amazing how many people don’t know how to dress for their body type. You can hide a multitude of sins (fat) by wearing clothing that flatters. And those leggings only belong on children.
The MJ Tribute concert look was featured on “fashion police” and they let Christina have it. One of the men claimed Christina was “probably a 2 or 4” in the picture and Kelly Osborne chimed in to say “this is what a 2/4 looks like” (pointing to herself). She went on to say that Christina used to rag on her for her weight but “that she (Kelly) was never THAT fat.”
I was really annoyed by how the show played out. Kelly is hanging onto a feud from 10 years ago AND bragging about her current size 4 status (which I believe is more like a size 6). Whatever Christina’s current size, she most certainly is NOT bigger than Kelly at her biggest. I’m so sick of the smug satisfaction Kelly seems to derive from these chubby Christina pics.
Wow, those shiny stretch pants are doing her NO favors, lol!! She needs to step away from the leggings and get herself a good-fitting pair of jeans.
Look at the hand-holding in the top picture, I can almost hear him saying “Mom, your huuuuuurrrting me!” Poor kid :(.
My question is, if you KNOW you are going to be photographed, why would you leave the house looking like this?
Agreed that she’s not old enough for her man to be called a boy toy, unless he’s fresh out of high school. It seems that blonde extensions are the most prone to looking cheap and flammable, as do hers. She has an average-sized body, and a lot of men would love to work with those curves, but like a lot of women she fails to realize that after gaining weight you need to buy bigger clothes.
As someone who’s morbidly obese at 5’3 and 150 lbs, I can say there is NO WAY this chick isn’t aware of what she looks like. Trust me, she owns a mirror. She just might be so defiant she doesn’t give a crap about anyone’s opinion but her own. While I’m now exercising and eating right, I still have to see the rolls and double chin everyday. So does she.
I’m about the same height and build as Christina and I would say she is a size 6. If you gain 15-20 lbs at 5’1, you practically look obese. And I would agree that she looks terribly unhealthy, in all aspects. I hope she pulls her sh*t together– for the sake of herself, her son, her career.
She has always looked like she is masking something, covering her “self” up with tons of make-up, spray tans and platinum hair/extensions. These young women, Lohan and Spears included, dive in too young with poor guidance (adults exploiting a talent that is now overshadowed by delusion) and spend their 20s looking freakish. Next we’ll see if they actually make it to their 30s and what in god’s name they’ll look like then.
dragonladysakura, I did the BMI on your height and weight and it’s 26. That’s in the mid-overweight category, not obsese. Obese is a BMI of 30. Morbidly obese is significantly above that. I dunno…I hope you don’t actually think you are morbidly obese at 5’3″ and 150 lbs!!!!
If she was thinner she could be a scarecrow, seriously.
she looks like a fat clown .and it’s not even the fat that bothers me it’ the clown.And who knows about the good parenting as long as we know she might be drunk there
Ugh. Skull-theme overkill for Christina. And she really needs to freshen up those extensions.
She looks happy.
Kim kartrashian is way bigger than her. Christina is not fat. The camera adds weight i bet in person she looks fine. I do think she has a drinking problem hence the bloated face.
She looks rough, but her son looks clean and neat, which I take as a good sign (for him).
Was Xtina pretending to be one of the pumpkins cause she is shaping up like one. Poor thing!
The mom/nonna in me only notices one thing: wtf, she has all that money and the kid only gets that little-bitty punkin??
Jessica – Well stated! So true!
Max is pulling away from her and she is
seizing both him and the photo op! Max’s Mother vs Xtina the Star ~ chooses photo op! Fail!
@ Mary Jones
Kim is not bigger than Christina. Kim has a small waist, she just has a big ass and big boobs. But everywhere else she is small.
Christina IS chunky. She is bowlegged. Her legs are cute when she’s slender. But when she gains weight they are weird. all the weight in her legs goes from the knees up. She is small-boned. When she weighs much less she never looks anorexic. She is short and has a small frame. She was slender for years after the birth of her child. Look at her in Burlesque or her Not Myself Tonight video. both from last year. The girl is overeating and not exercising.
Her heavy makeup and bleached cotton candy hair ages her. Look at her in Burlesque. She played someone younger and looked soft and young. She really thinks she looks good. Someone needs to tell her the truth.
@ Lio and JustMe
It sure looks like she’s dragging the kid and he’s trying to pull away from her. Not very motherly to me. And she’s not even looking at him when she does it – she’s just dragging him & smiling at the camera!
Holy hamhocks, Batman!
Seriously….no need to apologize I have the same thoughts re the pumpkin patch, cute kids issue, and the bedeviling spanx, layering, vanity sizing issue. Again, ugh….
Please stop insulting Snooki. Snooks looks much sexier than BarfTinaBeotch. CA is a certifiedbitch. I think she has mental health issues. Adele anyone?
She looks cheap. I guess this is what an old truck stop stripper looks like on her day off.
How in the world does she manage to look so cheap all the time? She has access to the best threads in the world. But she always looks budget.
I don’t see anything wrong with her size. She’s a hell of a lot smaller then me that’s for sure. But that hair has got to go.
Do people seriously think a 15-20 pound weight gain looks like that? She is NOT a size 6. I would guess a 12-14. And there is NOTHING wrong with that. However, a lot of the weight gain is clearly from alcohol abuse, and there IS something wrong with that. The fact that instead of wearing something pretty, soft and flattering to her photo op (exactly what it was), she wore ratty extensions, Tammy Faye makeup, and ridiculous clothing. She’d be better off with soft makeup, simple bob that’s not white-blonde, leggings and a LONG tunic type top, and the boots. Xtina’s problems are at the surface; I remember her pride when she was talking about a map of her piercings a magazine made. She was so pleased with her fame and the attention. She is never seen with her son and, now, suddenly she has a death grip on him and is parading through a paparazzi filled pumpkin patch with her bored looking boyfriend and a tiny pumpkin like she can’t even pretend to pick one the kid wants. For all her whining about being victimized as a kid and teenager, she is victimizing her son with her neglect and behavior. She mean girled Kelly Osbourne while whining about people who bullied her in the past and spouting girl power talk. This woman is CRAZY. Her outside is looking like her inside.
Honestly, I don’t really think she is all that big. Maybe by celebrity status she is, but face it, most celebrities are not “normal” size by any means. She isn’t small boned and it looks like genetically her weight naturally sits on her hips and thighs when she is not consciously trying to keep in shape. She just looks normal to me. I even kind of like what she is wearing. But geez, that bloated face, that’s just all kinds of sad. I have some alcohol demons in my past closet and I can tell you, I know that puffy faced look comes from alcohol abuse.
Anyone think Madonna’s chicken cutlets might not just be fillers and implants? Looking at all the recent pics of her it sure looks like there are signs of some heavy drinking there, too.
@Jessica, At 150 lbs, I’ve had my doctor and family practically scold me for getting so big. I got so sick of hearing that, I just ate more. It was only when I personally wanted to make the change, that I did. The reason Xtina’s appearance is so shocking to everyone is that she’s dressing and acting the same as when she was a teenager. When and if she comes to the realization she’s no longer 16 years old and 100 lbs is up to her. Reality checks are a bitch.
What is it with this black legging fad? There are so many women with chunky legs wearing leggings, thinking that they hold all the flubber in.
newsflash: they make you look fatter!
Of course it’s a photo op–look how immaculately sweet her baby looks in all of that nature. Those cute little red Chucks were release from the vacuum packing, mylar and action foam (I just made that up) no more than 27 seconds before the picture was taken. I’ve never heard of someone buying a kid a pair new shoes specifically for the purpose of running about in mud without a readson. Do the red ones suck up the soil, too?
Leggings aren’t pants. You’re going to fight me with a series of refutations around footwear, bum coverage, thickness, decoration, anecdotes about how you personally make it work in an ensemble and it’s every other misguided kid who gets its wrong, comfort, ease, the dress dilemma–no. A tank top isn’t a top hat, thongs go under the jeans and no matter how thin you think you are, leggings aren’t pants. Leggings are threadbare, ripped spandex-y gynecological disasters, and you think VPL is easily cured by going commando, you need to leave my ecosystem. If you want a specific look, get a girdle, get a truss, get your jaws wired shut. invest in an iron long line, but do not fall into a Canadian snowbank with nothing to show for it for the scar you got when you slipped out of a stirrup during that one physical. Don’t scrawl ‘juicy’ across your bum and expect anyone think of something that isn’t cholera. Hey, ever bend over and feel your pantyhose go ‘rip’ or feel them make a run for the equator? A reinforced waistband means nothing if you’re toughing it out amongst the bramble bush. What about rain, doesn’t it feel like your wearing a diaper when you sit down? Yeah, it dries more quickly, but what a swampy process. Body horror has unfortunately kept many lively and vivacious ladies out of the sea, and though I do think that’s sad and understand the sentiment, making something opaque isn’t making it invisible but I’m above legal celulite age so I’m not lying. I’ve spent a few weaker moments hoping that ‘slimming’ and ‘blinding’ would collapse into a single concept, just for me, just for a minute. Have sitcoms taught us naught about the pants splitting epidemic? Isn’t VD enough of an issue (hee-hee, issue). And speaking of bush, I see London, I see France, I see your freaking C-section scar! Free us! First clue that leggings aren’t pants: they aren’t called pants.
I’m sure there are a lot of talented, beautiful, capable women out there…I don’t care, I still hate leggings. It’s the garment, not you. It’s like this: I don’t hate the people enjoy Motown or Big Band, but I freely admit that both make me want to defenestrate myself–you have NO idea, none. Ugh.
That is NOT a size 6. As someone 5’1″ whose size has ranged from 0 to 16 while in her twenties, she looks more like a 10 or 12 to me. Maybe an 8 at Old Navy, lol.
@Khalesi cosign.
And I’d like to throw in my vote for her being a size 8/9, while we’re playing this guessing game.
@dragonladysakura: I sure hope you don’t think you’re morbidly obese at 5’3″ either! As far as Aguilera, in defense of going to that one Pumpkin Patch, at least she’s taking her son and keeping up with the tradition they began with him a few years ago. Kids like traditions. We always took our kids to the same Pumpkin Patch, cuz it had the “good stuff” like pony rides and I bet that is one of very few in LA. There isn’t that much open space in LA to put in and remove multiple Pumpkin Patchs every year. I live east of LA, and I only know of that one “good one” near our house. That’s where I’d still go if I had little kids.
I think while perhaps its booze bloat I am guessing she is just hitting her 30s and still eating like she is 15. I have seen a few of my friends go through it, they were easy 00s in their teens & early 20s but their metabolism cuaght up with them. If her reputation for how she reacts whenever anybody talked about her booze houndingis true, I doubt if anyone in her inner circle wants to even begin to approach the lbs she has developed. The good thing is her talent has always been her voice, not her dancing or side acting. I am not going to judge her parenting or the kid, toddlers are tricky and tempermental but the dude has got to go, bad energy girl.
Christina and her man both look haggard.
As far as the leggings go, they are gross and only acceptable for children. I notice woman with skinny legs and large upper bodies wearing leggings as pants (probably to “show off their legs”) and it makes them look like Humpty Dumpty.
Enough bashing please! Love Xtina and she is NOT fat; just the wrong clothes.
C’mon leetruth…she’s not fat?? she looks like hippo pippo here not to mention the micheal jackson tribute where she was hippo pippo in full action…
she’s not that fat. i’m sure the majority of ppl in the usa r bigger than her anyway.
She looks like a blond snooki!
Wow at first look I thought it was snooki also. Well Christina probably starved herself to death for burlesque. She is young enough to drop the weight. As for Kelly, honey you butt was twice a big on your parents reality show. But congrats on the weight loss anyways. Don’t be nasty kid, it’s not becoming. Just shows you are little jealous and makes you look bitchy.
I am anywhere from a size 1 to a size 4 depending on the store. I weigh 105-110lbs depending on the day, I am also 5’3″. At one time I weighed 120 and my face was bloated, my stomach was paunchy. I am very fine boned and I do have curves. To Christina? Just stop the drinking and stay away from the cheese cake. You have have an amazing voice. She looked sexy as hell yrs ago when featured in Maxim. I’d like to see the “old Christina” that everyone fell in love with.
Us women, we can be so hateful. Let Christina be. She is beautiful. If you feel that she needs to be a small size to be beautiful, you need to reconsider your life philosophies. Only real, strong, intelligent women know that criticizing other women or themselves is pathetic. This constant bashing is why men can so easily abuse women. We need to learn to love our bodies unconditionally and learn that there are things more important than weight and looks.
