Thank God Larry King hasn’t become irrelevant. Those that claim the once great interview is now nothing but a hack are clearly misinformed – I mean he had political heavyweight Christina Aguilera on his show last night for goodness sakes! Christina had a lot of deep and original thoughts to get off her ample chest – like how important it is to vote, and how she’s getting really, really old.
Credit Christina Aguilera’s newborn son Max with getting her involved in this year’s election. “Being a new mother, it was really important for me to get excited about this election,” she told Larry King during an interview Wednesday about her involvement with Rock the Vote. This election “is such one of change and new development for our country and for the future of my son,” she added. “I want the best possibilities for him.”
Aguilera — who would not reveal which candidate she supported — told King, she registered to vote “as soon as I could” but admitted she didn’t “exercise that right until the last election. I grew up in a house where politics weren’t discussed,” she explained. “It was a hopeless situation. As a woman, that’s embarrassing that it took [me] so long [to vote] because we weren’t always given that right,” she said.
As for why other young people don’t vote, she said maybe they feel politics “doesn’t affect them” and they think it will matter to them “later on down the road. But time goes quickly,” she cautioned. “I’m already 27.”

27? Holy crap that’s unattractive. She’s just a big bag of dinosaur bones. I kid, I kid. I sometimes get annoyed with all the celebrities when they do the whole “get out and vote” thing because it’s generally a bunch of people who don’t seem to care about anything – except every fourth year, when that’s what they’re supposed to say.
If a celeb that’s often supporting social or charitable causes says it, I think it’s great. But when Heidi Montag and Paris Hilton tell me I should vote, I want to tell them they should go pop a Valtrex and shut up. Man I’m cranky today. Larry King always puts me in a bad mood. With that face of his. I’m going to stop now.
Here’s Christina on “Larry King Live” last night. Video thanks to RedLasso.

Having celebs tell people to get out the vote has to be one of the most backasswards ideas I’ve ever had the displeasure of running into.
Take a moment to think about this: do you really want someone who bases their actions and personal beliefs on what celebrities tell them to do voting to elect your officials? I swear to God we need an IQ test for potential voters.
Anyone who still thinks celeb voting endorsements are a good idea, I leave you with three words: ‘Vote or Die’.

Sometimes celebs with reps for being stupid, like C.A., bring politics into their conversation in an attempt to sound smarter. It doesn’t work for her.

Trillion, I’m surprised she didn’t try wearing fake glasses too!

She’s a drunken ass & a butterface.

Good God she’s an idiot. And do you know why our country is in the state it is?? It’s because of people that are idiots and don’t do the least bit of research on who they are voting for. Or they don’t care and don’t vote but yet bitch about the state of affairs.
Grow the eff up. Your freedoms are available because somebody gave a shit. Maybe it’s time you did too.
It’s disgraceful.

Half of the celebs that are advocating get out and vote can barely read themselves. I don’t need a high school drop out telling me the importance of voting. Why don’t these fools shut up and allow the public to make their own choices. Celebrities and their political agendas really piss me off!

For someone who tries waaay too hard to separate herself from her peers, she’s one of the biggest bandwagon whores in the business.
And for someone who puts her son on such a pedestal, she sure as hell doesn’t seem to pay any attention to the kid. At all. Her son. Her sooooonnnnn, my ass.

I guess it’s good that she’s more interested in politics, but why only because of her son? Jessica Alba said something similar recently, and it just sounds kind of dumb.
