Christina Aguilera Says Bionic Is About Fun And The Future
'I haven't made a record this fun in a pop sensibility since my very first record,' she tells MTV News.By James Montgomery, with reporting by Matt Elias

Christina Aguilera's just-released Bionic album is a whirring, wooshing, forward-thinking thing that sees the prodigiously piped pop star moving even further away from her "Genie in a Bottle" past — but, really, that was the plan all along.
Because, as Aguilera told MTV News, Bionic — which features collaborations with the likes of M.I.A., Tricky Stewart, Sia and Le Tigre, to name just a few — isn't really as much of a departure as her fans might believe. It seems she's been building toward this for a while now.
"There was a taste of things to come on [2008 greatest-hits package] Keeps Gettin' Better, but the futuristic idea actually came up for a few reasons," Aguilera said. "One being the Back to Basics album, because I wanted it to be a tribute to those I was very much inspired by and what made me passionate about music, soul and jazz and blues and paying homage to those musicians and those artists and doing a modern-day interpretation of what that meant to me. So it was important for me to dive into that world and reflect elements of the '20s, '30s and '40s.
"And that was a huge departure from the Stripped album. And Stripped was a huge departure from the first album," she continued. "I always make it a point to reinvent what I'm doing and take a minute, take a break in between records to really find out who I am and what I'm inspired by next."
And during the break between 2006's Back to Basics and Bionic, Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman welcomed their first child, son Max. And, as Aguilera has said in the past, becoming a mother only served as more inspiration for the new album's sonic adventures.
"Since the last album, I've become a mother, which inspired me so much. When you have a child, you think of the future, you think of the next generation," she said. "And I started getting heavily into electronic music and listening to that, and I loved all the atmospheric sounds and interesting elements that had to offer. And then I dove in and reached out to these people wanting to collaborate, which is magical, and walked away with all these new friends as well."
But no matter how futuristic Bionic may get — and no matter how much she's grown in the decade since she first burst onto the pop landscape — Aguilera said that, at the end of the day, it's not really all that dissimilar to her '99 self-titled debut. After all, both share one rather unique characteristic: a focus on fun, first and foremost.
"The whole record is fun. I actually feel like I haven't made a record this fun in a pop sensibility since my very first record," she said. "Because I feel there's been growth and comfort within myself, and I don't have to be scared of that side of myself anymore. But it's in a much more sophisticated way that I was able to release it on this record. I'm just really proud of it, and it's exactly how I'm feeling now."

Christina Aguilera Vs. Lady Gaga: Perez Hilton, Kristin Cavallari Weigh In
'Everyone copies everybody,' 'Hills' star Cavallari says about charges that Aguilera copied Gaga.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Damian Vaca
On the same day that Christina Aguilera released her new dance-heavy album, Bionic, Lady Gaga released her dark, over-the-top clip for her latest single, "Alejandro." Although having the same release date may have been a coincidence, the move didn't help to squash all those Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera comparisons.
At the Logo NewNowNext Awards on Tuesday night in Los Angeles, everyone seemed to have an opinion about the situation. And mostly it came down to this: In the pop world hasn't it all been done already anyway?
"I love Christina Aguilera. I've always been a huge fan of hers, and I think Lady Gaga's great as well," "The Hills" star Kristin Cavallari explained to MTV News. "I think that everyone needs to just kind of let it go a little bit. Everyone copies everybody. I mean Lady Gaga copied Madonna. It's the same thing. I think that everyone needs to calm down a little bit about it."
Lady Gaga's pal Perez Hilton admits that while some say that Aguilera is taking some cues from the Lady Gaga playbook, it happens to be that both are doing their best Madonna. It just so happens that some are better at being Madonna than others, a point he's made note of many times on his Twitter. "Just like Christina Aguilera, Gaga is paying homage to Madonna as well," he said. "But unlike Christina Aguilera, Gaga is doing it really well."
In the end, Kelly Osbourne wonders: Can't we all just get along? "It just seems to me like two girls fighting to be who they want to be,"
she said. "And some people might like it and some people might not, and who cares?"

Lady Gaga's Vogue Hommes Japan Meat Suit Offends PETA
'Flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal,' organization says of Japanese magazine cover.By Gil Kaufman

Right about now, one can only imagine how ripe that meat suit Lady Gaga donned for a cover shoot by Terry Richardson for Vogue Hommes Japan is getting. But PETA thought it stunk from the very beginning.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals slammed Gaga for her latest sartorial head turner, in which she modeled a skimpy bikini made out of steaks, with another rib eye propped on her blond tresses for good measure.
"No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal," PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement. "Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for, they achieved it."
Newkirk told the New York Daily News that "Lady Gaga's job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body."
The criticism is a bit of a turn-about in the Gaga/PETA relationship. The organization praised Gaga — who is nominated for a record 13 MTV VMAs — in December for setting a faux polar bear coat on fire in her "Bad Romance" video and again in January for adding vegan hot dogs to her tour rider.
And they loved when Gaga showed up in Kermit the Frog outfit to a German television interview last year, explaining that it was her commentary on not wearing fur.
The Vogue issue is the same one in which Gaga poses as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, a brown-haired mechanic from Sicily, for an alternate cover. In the accompanying interview, Calderone claims to be Gaga's good buddy and occasional friend-with-benefits.
"I met her at a shoot [photographer] Nick Knight was doing," Calderone told the mag. "She's f---in' beautiful, and funny, and interesting. I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting. She said, 'Don't be, baby, you were born this way.' I took her out after. The rest is private."

VMA Host Chelsea Handler Calls Lady Gaga's Fashion 'A Jackpot'
She also said she plans to hook up with Eminem after Sunday's show.By Gil Kaufman

Chelsea Handler often complains that the big stars avoid her E! talk show, "Chelsea Lately," leaving her with a string of Kardashians and the occasional rapper to fawn over. But on Sunday night, when she steps up as host of the MTV Video Music Awards, Handler will have more bold names than she could ever dream of skewering at once under one roof, and you can tell she's excited to be in the presence of such mega-wattage.
"She's pretty successful right about now. She's got some good music," Handler said of leading nominee Lady Gaga, who has a record 13 VMA nods. "She's got a lot going on."
Asked if she was surprised by the baker's dozen Gaga racked up this year, Handler said she was not shocked that the dance diva could corral such a mass of nominations, given the sweat she puts into her music and concerts. "I'm not really surprised by anything," Handler laughed before diving into one of her favorite topics, the absurd Internet meme questioning Gaga's gender. "If you work really hard, I guess you can accomplish anything. Even if that accomplishment is people being confused as to whether you are a male or a female."
The reason stand-up comedians have always done so well at the VMAs is because they're great on their feet, and given the rapid-fire nature of the roundtable celeb-kebabing that goes on during Handler's E! show every night, she's likely to have plenty of quips to drop during Sunday's broadcast. Some of them will undoubtedly be aimed at Gaga's notoriously elaborate outfits.
"It's always a jackpot, isn't it?" she said about Gaga's outré fashion choices. "Whatever she wears is amazing. You could watch her for hours just eat cereal. You don't even need the cereal."
She clearly has a thing for Gaga, but Handler's heart belongs to Eminem, who is close on Mother Monster's heels with eight nominations. "I love his album," she enthused of the rapper's smash Recovery. "I'll probably have sex with him after the show is over. Probably. I don't see why I wouldn't." But, after finding out that the Detroit MC is now sober, she seemed to have a change of heart. "I like guys who drink," she said.
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday.
