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.

Reese Witherspoon has given birth to a baby boy.
The 36-year-old actress - who has two children, Ava, 13, and Deacon, eight, from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe - and her husband Jim Toth welcomed Tennessee James into the world earlier today.
"Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth welcomed Tennessee James into their family today. Both mom and baby are healthy and the entire family is thrilled," a representative for the couple said.
No other details have been released at the time of writing.
Last month, the Legally Blonde actress spent a couple of days in a Los Angeles medical facility after it was feared she was going into early labor. After being discharged, doctors told her to take it easy at home and get plenty of rest.

One Direction still sees themselves as newcomers.
The global chart-toppers - who earned $160 million in the two years since they competed on The X Factor - have reportedly declined an offer by boss Simon Cowell to mentor contestants on the show because they are too inexperienced.
"We don't feel like we are in a position to be giving strong advice," Louis Tomlinson told The Sun.
The group's mentor Simon is said to have been hoping the boy band would guest star in an episode of the UK reality TV series and conduct a master class with the current group of wannabe stars to help boost the show's ratings.

Dina Lohan Offers Advice to Amanda Bynes’ Parents
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars,
Dina Lohan has offered Amanda Bynes' parents advice on their out-of-control daughter.
Amanda's recent troubles - which included having her car impounded and being charged with driving on a suspended license - have been compared to the fall from grace of Dina's daughter Lindsay and she says Amanda's parents need to be there to help the 26-year-old former child star through her ongoing drama.
"You know, I'm a mother, and I feel that that's for her mother to speak about, and not me, because people have spoken for my child and myself, so I really feel that's for her parents to discuss and Amanda herself. [But] just be around... It's hard when your daughter's not, you know, over 18, and you want to let them go... and they want to, you know, feel like they're in control of themselves. So it's a very strategic place for a parent to be, but she'll be OK," she said on Entertainment Tonight.
Dina is no stranger to controversy and was recently accused of being drunk during an interview on TV show Dr Phil, something which she strongly disputes: "I was absolutely not under, intoxicated, or on any kind of medication. I was extremely upset."

JWoww’s Skydiving Proposal
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Engagements,
JWoww's fiance proposed during a skydiving lesson. The Jersey Shore star was stunned when Roger Matthews - who she has been dating for two-and-a-half years - chose an unusual way to pop the question but she had no hesitation in saying yes.
"I look over and see a hand-written sign: 'Jenni, will you ... ' and then I turned to him and freaked out. The whole time I'm screaming, 'What are you doing? What's going on? He's like, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Will you allow me to?' If I had to imagine a perfect guy, it would be him."
JWoww is thrilled with her huge cushion-cut diamond engagement ring because it reminds her of her 6ft 4in fiance: "Roger's not an average-looking guy, he's huge: his personality, his size [6'4"]. So I always said, 'I want my ring like you - big! The bigger the better!'"

A second sex tape featuring Kanye West has emerged. The rapper is facing more embarrassment as another X-rated video is allegedly being shopped around which shows him participating in a 40-minute lovemaking session with a beautiful brunette.
Kanye was "freaking out" after the first tape emerged last week, featuring him and girl who looks like his current girlfriend Kim Kardashian, and this second recording is double in length.
"Both tapes are impressively long - the first is roughly 20 minutes and the second is more than 40. And we're talking constant action. Seriously, the guy takes no breaks. It's incredible," TMZ reported.
Both tapes were made before he started dating 31-year-old Kim - who was catapulted to fame after becoming the unwitting star of her own sex tape in 2007 when her ex-boyfriend Ray J released the recording.

The white and silver iPhone 5 is more akin to the iPhone 4S than the black and slate model, mostly due to the color of the antenna frame. Still, there are plenty of differences that make the iPhone 5 that much more striking than the 4S that came before it. Our review of the iPhone 5 is just about ready for publication, but in the meantime, we've gather a bunch of images of the chamfered white iPhone 5 body for your perusal in our iPhone 5 White & Silver unboxing gallery.

Adele Slams Pop Stars Who Rely on Sex

Adele has criticized pop stars who use sex to sell records.
The pregnant "Someone Like You" hitmaker has slammed her chart rivals - who include Rihanna, Madonna and Lady Gaga - who strip off in their videos to promote themselves and insists most female singers look very different in real life to how they look on screen.
"They don't look how they do in magazines or videos. I have seen them up close. Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look. I don't find it encouraging," she said.
Adele has always had a fuller figure but she insists she would never go on a diet or change her image to try and be more successful. The 24-year-old singer - whose last album 21 has sold over 23 million copies worldwide - prefers to just let her music define her. "I have never seen magazine covers and music videos and thought, 'I need to look like that to be a success.' To sell more records I don't need to go that. I just stand there and sing. I'm not worried that I'm a 'plus size' and so much bigger than other artists. No matter what you look like the key is to be happy with yourself," she is quoted as saying.
