Christina Aguilera is the new, boozy face of World Hunger Relief: bad choice?

Let me say this at the very beginning: I am not trying to troll Christina Aguilera. My objective is not to be cruel towards her, nor am I trying to fake “concern” for the state of Christina. Obviously, I think she’s a hot mess, an orange-stained pile of clown makeup, booze and leggings stretched to their limit. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But I only wanted to point out the… oddness of this Christina news.

So, Christina was named “the voice” (eyeroll) of a new charity campaign for Yum! Brands World Hunger Relief. Christina Aguilera = World Hunger Relief. Is that an odd choice? I don’t really know. I do know that watching this behind-the-scenes video of Christina’s PSA shoot made me hungry. Was that the goal? Because I really want some Doritos right now. I blame Christina’s too-orange foundation issues.

We should praise her. It’s nice of her to do this. She doesn’t have to do this, you know? She would be fine just being a boozed-up hot mess, strutting around in hot pants and peeing a little while she sings. But she decided to give back. She answered the call! She answered the call and then had a double vodka on the rocks. For the children!

    my roommate had this poster in college that said “drink up, there are sober kids in India”

    Thats probably going to be Christina’s motto too

    I think it’s amazing that she’s lending a hand/her face to a wonderful charity…but she had to have known the jokes write themselves on this one, right? She can’t possibly be so clueless about herself, right? Couldn’t she have just donated a bunch of money to this group and been the new voice of ASPCA? I’m sure she has some tear-jerker song that would break my heart if set to a montage of sad puppy eyes.

    She should do one for Fake Orange Tan Relief.

  4. Brown says:

    Good lord, those pictures of her outside The Voice set. I think I got chillbumps

  5. The Original Mia says:

    If I’m not mistaken, she’s been the face of this organization for many years. This is just a new ad she’s filmed for them.

    • gg says:

      At my old job the company was our client. Every time I did work on them and my eyes came across the name of their company – Yum! – it cracked me up. Maybe it’s just me but I think it’s a funny name.

  6. Meg says:

    She works with WHR since 2008 and they raised together a lot of $$$ for kids. Do research before you write something. You are mean ignorant who is so 2000 late.

    • Sandy says:

      I agree with the first part of your comment. Kaiser, this time you condemned without knowing the facts.

      However the last line – “You are mean ignorant who is so 2000 late.” was hilarious. Just how old are you?

    • anon33 says:

      Well, if that’s the route we’re going, then you’re 2009 late because that song came out three years ago, honey.

    • yo momma says:

      yeah i agree-you say you dont wannt be snarky but then unload a lot of snarky comments kaiser. tut tut.

      though i totally understand people being critical of stars doing psa’s because of the whole good publicity thing imo on this occasion Christina seems to be doiung it because she genuinly cares. good on ya Christina!

  7. Pers says:

    …yeah, this isn’t a new charity endeavour for Christina.

    off-topic
    It’s hard to give up the booze – I’m there too. But it’s either being sad, drunk, fat and poor or living my life – so that’s what I’m trying to do.

    • BubbaAng says:

      I hear ya, and agree it’s hard to give up the stuff – I’m there too. It’s possible though.

      As for Christina, I think she looks way better with less make-up (esp. bright red lipstick) and bronzer. She also looks better in “age-appropriate” clothing and should lay off the teeny dresses.

  8. Tillie says:

    What’s wrong with her left eye?

    It is very nice of her though!

  9. lucy2 says:

    That’s nice that she has been involved with the charity for a while. I just hope she gets herself together, for herself and her son’s sake. I think she’s so talented, and naturally pretty, it’s a shame to see her struggling like this.

  10. Jacq says:

    Xtina = Sally Struthers. Too bad South Park already did that episode.

  11. serena says:

    She seems drunk.

    What is going on with her eyes and lips on the video? LOL

  12. Ravensdaughter says:

    The red cups! That’s how we used to carry beer and mixed drinks around in college “undetected”.
    She has completely trashed herself in the last 5 years or so-why?

    • Sassy says:

      Is anyone old enough to remember the famed singer, Peggy Lee? Among her many hits was “Fever”. Anyway, Christina is starting to resemble Peggy with the white hair heavy makeup and portly figure. Christina could actually pull of a the role of Peggy, since she has such a fantastic voice. Didn’t I read something about a movie about PL coming out or in casting stage?

  13. Tiffany says:

    I hope I am not the only one who appreciates that she walked out in public with no makeup on. I think that her natural face is quite pretty.

    • NerdMomma says:

      I know, right?! How can she not realize how much better she looks without makeup?? Someone has gotten her to tone down the red lipstick sometimes, but the less the better on her. She looks much fresher and prettier bare-faced. I wonder how she’d look with a more natural hair color, too.

  14. skuddles says:

    Oh I get it now. She’s eating not only for herself but for a million starving children too…

    Seriously, I think it’s admirable that she’s trying to do some good for her fellow humans.

  15. remote control says:

    “leggings stretched to their limit” – err, nice. Have you considered writing for a pro-ana website?

  16. Krock says:

    Why in the world is she always clutching a red solo cup? On the beach, on the way to the set lol

    • skuddles says:

      I believe that’s what we used to refer to as a “go cup”. Have cocktail, will travel 🙂

  17. thetruthhurts says:

    Christina and Lindsay Lohan are perfect examples of beautiful girls who have turned into ugly women due to their addictions, bad habits and non-clean living. The should be the poster girls of what not to do. Such a shame because if they didn’t let booze, drugs, cigs, etc invade their lives, they would have been stunning today.

    • Krock says:

      Agree 100% Also their attitude and bad personalities add to the unattractive-ness.

    • skuddles says:

      Not to mention they would not have pissed away their respective talents. I believe Xtina can still sing well but between her sloppy stage presence and the way she over-sings everything, people are just turned off. And Lohan… well Lifetime movies and quasi porn flicks (straight to DVD) are about the best she can manage anymore.

  18. TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

    How much does she actually do for this organization; Just asking?

  19. Snowpea says:

    The girl is one giant mess. She looks so trashy it’s hard to believe she’s not having a laugh about it all (see Pamela Anderson. You get the feeling Pam KNOWS how adorable trashy she is).

    Christina, please go to rehab, get cleaned up, lay off that awful makeup and get back into the studio! You are an AMAZING talent.

  20. music says:

    The way the media talks about her weight
    you would think she weighs as much as precious or something, when in reality she probaly as big as Kim k, She doing something for a good cause and you making fun of it low even for celebitchy
