The genie's out of the bottle: Christina Aguilera finally admitted her pregnancy.
The singing star told Glamour Magazine that she and her husband Jordan Bratman are expecting a baby early next year. When asked about her plans for 2008, Aguilera said that would be about the time she'd "enter into mommyhood."
The Mousekeer-turned-Grammy winner credited her music marketer husband with keeping her grounded while she went on tour. "He's so supportive and amazing through everything," she said. "He came with me on the last leg of my tour and he was my support system...I gush. I'm a lucky girl."
The singer said she plans to be a working mother and "balance" the needs of her child with her globe-trotting occupation. "I want to get it right," she said.
The daughter of a U.S. Army Sergeant and a Spanish teacher, Christina Aguilera says she suffered physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her father. Her parents divorced when she was seven.

The actress delivered a baby girl, Ever Gabo Anderson, Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, her publicist confirmed.
It's the first child for Jovovich, 31, and her fiancé, filmmaker Paul Anderson, 42. The twosome met when he directed her in 2002's Resident Evil, and she went on to star in the next two films in the franchise, which Anderson wrote and produced.
Late last month, Jovovich wrote on her Website that the baby was "already a strapping 7.4 pounds! Completely full term, totally healthy and ready to be born."
She also noted that her weight had balanced out at an "astronomically well proportioned 191," adding that she was aware her pregnant figure "has been a hilarious subject with many people recently."
Far from being bothered by her weight gain of around 70 pounds, Jovovich said she was pleased with her baby body and that her doctor was "very proud" as well.
"It's just that food tastes so darn good when you don't deaden your taste buds with tobacco," the reformed smoker said. "I feel like I discovered some ancient secret of life and happiness or something!"
Up ahead, the new mom is slated to star in the film Azazel, which begins shooting in February or March.
In addition to her acting pursuits, Jovovich designs the clothing line Jovovich-Hawk with partner Carmen Hawk. The label recently unveiled a line for the clothing chain Mango.
At some point, she and Anderson also plan to get hitched, after announcing their engagement in 2003. For the time being, no wedding date has been set.

Actress Katie Holmes stunned runners at the New York Marathon on Nov 4 when she unexpectedly joined them enroute.
The actress hit the pavement in disguise for most of the arduous 26 miles of the marathon, until hubby Tom Cruise planted a kiss on her.
Cruise, holding the couple's daughter Suri in his arms, insisted on a kiss as his wife hit the final stretch of the marathon in Central Park.
The Batman Begins star completed the marathon with a final time of five hours, 29 minutes and 58 seconds.
"I'm good, but I'm feeling very tired," the New York Daily News quoted Holmes, as telling People.

domingo, 4 de noviembre de 2007 | Etiquetas: Andrei Andrei, Kristina Dimitrova
A Bulgarian and a Romanian have run out the winners in a competition styling itself the "International Bottom Championships" held in Munich Wednesday.
Kristina Dimitrova, 19, and Andrei Andrei, 24, each took home 10,000 euros (14,400 dollars) in prize money, a modelling contract - and an insurance policy on their winning assets.
A lingerie maker funded the competition, which drew 15,000 entrants from 26 countries, who had to send in photographs of their rear-ends, with the only stipulation that they be covered.
"We didn't want the bare facts," spokeswoman Anne Raab said.
The jury included English lingerie model Sophie Anderton, German fitness expert Karsten Schellenberg and US choreographer Marvin A. Smith.

Amy Fisher and her sex tape are about to become the newest internet sensations. A preview which features full frontal nudity of Amy Fisher with her husband Lou Bellera has begun to splash on to the web.
Fisher became an unlikely pop-culture icon when she -- at the age of 17 -- shot the wife of her boyfriend, Joey Buttafuoco, in 1992.
Fisher served seven years in prison for the non-fatal shooting, while Buttafuoco served four months for statutory rape.
The notorious couple briefly dated again this spring, but have both since reconciled with their respective estranged spouses.
Ok, this is what happened: Amy and Lou made a sex tape earlier this year before they started having marital problems. Before they filed for divorce, Lou was kind enough to give the tape to Red Light District Video.
Red Light District Video is porn distributor company - and they are now selling the tape.
David Krieff, a TV executive who produced reunion specials with Fisher, Joey Buttafuoco and his ex-wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, says: "I was told she was a willing participant at the time it was made, as a private video with her husband," Krieff said.
According to the NY Post, it wasn't until August that Fisher, who has since reconciled with Bellera, learned of the Red Light deal and wants to stop the video's release.

Britney Spears careless with birth control
sábado, 3 de noviembre de 2007 | Etiquetas: Britney Spears
Singer Britney Spears sparingly took birth control tablets because they made her gain weight, according to reports.
The 'Toxic' singer - who reportedly suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of the year - was receiving Depo Provera injections, but switched to tablets after piling on the pounds.
But Spears continues to forget to take the contraceptives, leaving her vulnerable to pregnancy.
A source tells website 'Life Style Extra': "She's constantly forgetting where she put them. She seems to find it amusing - she laughs at how scattered she is.
"She seems to think that just because she isn't in a formal relationship, she's somehow immune to getting pregnant."

Paris Hilton threatened to sue the manager of an adult video store in Toronto, Canada, after discovering a cardboard cutout of herself promoting her infamous sex tape in the store.
TMZ.com has posted CCTV footage online documenting the socialite's October visit to the porn shop, where she can be seen attempting to disguise herself in a black hooded top with a skeleton design on the front.
The video shows her checking out a display of posters featuring her image and her "1 Night In Paris" sex tape, before confronting the store employees and threatening legal action for copyright infringement.
She is then seen tearing down the display and demanding the complete removal of all her pictures.
In the heated exchange, she can be heard asking for the manager, before saying, "I really want those taken down, because you guys can't use my image in a porn store, so you've got to take those down. I'm gonna call my lawyer now to sue the [bleep] out of this place."
After reaching for her cell phone, she adds, "I really want them down because this is mean and it's not right. I'm really furious; this is disgusting. I want them taken down now or I'm calling my [bleep] lawyer."
Hilton was caught on camera by her then-boyfriend Rick Saloman, who later released the explicit footage, entitled "1 Night In Paris," in 2004.

Despite her nude pictures being passed around the Internet, teen queen Vanessa Hudgens will back for the third installment of the Disney powerhouse, "High School Musical."
Vanessa is "locked in" for the film, a source tells Us Weekly, and Hudgens will receive a "substantial raise." That's good news when you consider that earlier this month, Vanessa had to shoot down rumors that she was canned.
That raise could come handy -- Vanessa is in the middle of a court battle with her former attorney, who says she owes $150,000. Vanessa countered this week that their deal shouldn't hold up in court, since she was only 16. She's hoping to get the class case dismissed.
