In case you couldn’t tell, that’s Christina Aguilera behind Kim Kardashian’s big famewhore ass. It’s like a sign of the apocalypse, seeing these two together. I like how the photographers were clearly more interested in shooting photos of Kim, and Christina is like, “Hey, don’t block the paparazzo’s shot with your big ass, bitch!” No, of course she wouldn’t. Christina is still relevant, of course. Now, I know that some people still like her, but her publicity tour for her new album Bionic has been, in my mind, an unmitigated disaster. Christina is drawing too heavily from Lady Gaga, trying too hard to be shocking and risqué, trying too hard to be controversial or newsworthy, and all of it has fallen short, and way off the mark. But Christina is barreling on – talking again about her faux bisexuality and how empowering it is that she kisses girls. Ooh, scandal. In 1999. By the way, how old is the photo Company Magazine used for their cover? That truly looks like it’s from 1999 too:

Christina Aguilera’s risqué outfits, skin-tight costumes and provocative photo shoots aren’t just for show. The singer says her sexy image is her way of getting out what she believes is an important message.

“I feel sexuality to be very empowering,” the singer, 29, tells U.K. magazine Company in its July issue. “I think men love to believe that they own our sexuality, so if a woman represents herself in a sexual way, people think, ‘Oh it must be for a man.'”

“But men don’t have the right to own our sexuality,” she says. “If I want to be sexual, it’s for my own appreciation and enjoyment! That’s why I like to talk about the fact that sometimes I am attracted to women. I appreciate their femininity and beauty.”

Before calling her a feminist, be warned, Aguilera says she doesn’t like to get into labels. Instead, she’s simply fighting “for women’s rights in the sense that we shouldn’t be ashamed of ourselves or our bodies.”

But husband Jordan Bratman has nothing to worry about. His wife of almost five years knew he was The One, because when they met, “Everything was a little blurry and he was the one concrete person that I could trust,” she tells the magazine. “He was centered, grounded and always helped me see the positive in the negative. He would lift me out of my black hole of sometimes feeling sucked in by the negativity of people around me. My husband is the calm in the storm.”

Though she acknowledges “you have to work at all relationships,” she says she couldn’t have found a better partner than Bratman. “He’s my team mate in everything we do,” she says. “He definitely makes life easier.”

I find that one part about the feminist label deplorable. So Christina is going to promote her album by talking about how she kisses girls and how empowering that is (although, she admits she “still loves dick”) and it’s all “for women’s rights in the sense that we shouldn’t be ashamed of ourselves or our bodies” but she won’t label herself as a feminist? Because that would be too much, I guess. Calling herself a feminist might, oh, I don’t know, alienate men? Because that’s what she’s worried about, having men still see her as sexy or something. Because talking about making out with girls is supposed to be titillating to dudes. So she’s not doing it for herself, she’s just doing it for the same dumb reasons as all the girls in the Girls Gone Wild videos. Christina, girl, you are dumb as a box of hair.
