Christina Aguilera's bullies have inspired her biggest hits.
The "Your Body" singer - who has regularly been criticized for her curvier figure recently - admitted she is impacted by the negativity but channels her feelings into her music. In an emotional interview with Dateline NBC, the 31-year-old star said, "I have definitely experienced forms of bullying, and that's why it's so important for me to write songs like 'Beautiful' and 'Fighter.' On this current record, Lotus is all about being an unbreakable flower that survives the test of time. Throughout the roughest of surroundings and harshest weather conditions it remains strong and thrives."
The provocative singer also opened up about her relationship with her four-year-old son Max and insisted she is doing everything she can to give him a better childhood than her own. Christina became visibly emotional when asked about her bond with Max during the interview and her desire to have him grow up feeling safe and secure. "He is my heart he is my world, he's just my baby. I am definitely accomplishing that goal thus far. No matter what, I know he is in an environment that makes him very safe," the 31 year-old Voice mentor said.

Christina Aguilera Unveils New Album Cover
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Artist News, Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Despite Christina Aguilera telling her record company that they're "working with a fat girl" from now on, the former Voice mentor looks as thin as any other pop starlet these days on her new album cover for Lotus.
The 31 year-old posted the sneak peek of the cover - which looks like it took inspiration from Botticelli's The Birth of Venus - through her Twitter account: "Conceptually I didn’t target one particular sound/genre. I made music that felt good."
Lotus is due to hit stores on November 19.

Christina Aguilera Shuns Commercial Success

Christina Aguilera is not worried about Lotus being commercially successful.
The 31-year-old singer - whose last studio album Bionic flopped - doesn't care if the general public don't buy her seventh record as she finds it more important to take risks and push herself creatively.
"I've already put out a greatest hits record, so I've been in this business for a while, and I'm a risk taker, that's just who I am at heart. It's who I can't help but be. It's who I always am in nature, as a person and as an artist. With that comes hurdles and certain areas where people aren't going to get it and understand it artistically; sometimes it will go over their heads and it will not be as commercially successful," she told MTV News.
The "Candyman" singer reinvented herself as a mentor on TV show The Voice in 2011, and hopes Lotus will appeal to new fans who have been introduced to her music through that, as well as to those who have followed her since her self-titled 1999 debut album.

Christina Aguilera Unveils New Album Details
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Christina Aguilera will release her new album Lotus in November.
The 31-year-old singer shared details about her seventh studio album in a Twitter Q&A session with fans yesterday, revealing that the record's lotus theme is a metaphor for her own survival and "rebirth."
"Album title: Lotus. Representing an unbreakable flower that survives under the hardest conditions and still thrives. Self expression and freedom [are album themes]. The album represents a rebirth for me," she wrote in a series of tweets.
The feisty blonde also hinted at what kinds of musical influences to expect from the album and promised fans she doesn't shy away from her trademark power ballads: "There will be a 'Lotus' intro to set the tone for the whole record. Conceptually I didn't target one particular sound/genre. There are some beautiful personal ballads on this album. I wouldn't do a record without them."

Sprint LG Lotus 2 rocks outer touchscreen
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Smartphones, Rumors,
We never expected to see a basic phone like the LG Lotus get a sequel, but that’s apparently what’s happening, and the Lotus 2 seems to be upon us. The phone should be launching sometime in January, and will have the same QWERTY keyboard as featured on the original. As for differences, the Lotus 2 will replace the outer info screen with a touchscreen display, although, how useful a display that small will be with the added touch controls is questionable. In addition, the Lotus 2 will support 32GB microSD cards, up from 12GB on the original.
