Christina Aguilera made her first public appearance yesterday after the birth of her son Max. Christina stopped by her polling place to vote in the Super Tuesday primaries, then went to a Best to sign copies of her new DVD set “Back to Basics: Live and Down Under.” Xtina said she’s been going a little stir crazy and was glad to get out of the house.

In a radio interview prior to the appearance, she gushed about her “incredible” son and said she is already inspired to write a new album.

“This whole incredible thing that’s taken part in my life, between the pregnancy and the birth, I’ve got so much to be inspired about and so much in my life to write about. I’ve been brain-storming for the last nine months, actually. This next album will have a whole new me, so there’s a lot to look forward to.”

The 27-year-old says she and husband Jordan Bratman reveling in parenthood: “It’s still the first couple of weeks, every week something new happens. It’s constant changing and he’s constantly changing and doing these incredibly cute things – and stinky things.”

Christina also said she wasn’t mad at Paris Hilton for announcing her pregnancy for her. She said that Paris did “kind of jump the gun a little on it,” but that she didn’t do it with malice so everything was good. The Daily Mail, which is normally really critical of people’s appearances, complimented Christina’s “slimmed down” appearance. I have a strict policy about not making fun of people for their weight, but while Christina looks good, I don’t think she looks “slimmed down.” Aside from the fact that there’s no longer another person living in her stomach, which helps. She looks healthy and normal and generally how I’d expect a mother to look after giving birth less than a month ago. When you see those celebrities out in public a week or two after they’ve given birth looking slimmer than ever, that sets an unreasonable expectation. Christina looks good, healthy, and like she grabbed the wrong tube of lipstick.
