Christina Aguilera looks great, shows off her weight loss at NBC Upfronts

For about two years, it really seemed like Christina Aguilera had sort of given up. She gained weight, she was a public, drunken mess, she flubbed the National Anthem, she passed out at Jeremy Renner’s party, she didn’t wear panties to Etta James’ funeral, and so, so much more (that was just the stuff I remembered off the top of my head). Maybe it was just a really bad phase after her divorce. Maybe Christina just drowned herself in booze and clown makeup. Whatever happened, I guess it’s over because these are photos of the new and improved Christina at the NBC upfronts over the weekend. Look at how tiny she is!

Granted, we had an idea that Christina was spending some of her “time away” from The Voice losing weight – we saw photos of her in June where she looked like she had lost a notable amount of weight. But this kind of weight loss does seem to have happened… quickly. Right? Is anyone else thinking “coughcoughlap-bandcough”? Granted, I should have been more prepared for this. A new music video was released last week for Christina’s duet with Alejandro Fernandez, and she was showing off her new body there too (if only I had watched this last week):

Blah. Maybe this just proves that Christina and Snooki are the same person. “Snooki” lost a lot of weight recently too.

Meanwhile, Christina is coming back to The Voice and I guess that means Shakira is out. Aguilera, Adam Levine and Carson Daly did a live chat with HuffPo about the new season, which you can read here. Here are some highlights:

Aguilera on Blake Shelton: “I understand that I’m coming back to the Blake Shelton Show … We laugh all day. It’s always fun to press our buttons, see the person, get ’em on our team … We want them to win, but we can all agree it’s the contestants that do win at the end of the day. Blake keeps it funny with his trophies.”

She makes sure to put Shakira in her place: “I was happy that someone filled the spot for a second, I had to step away … Thank god for Shakira, she did a beautiful job, she has sweet, lovely energy. And Usher came and stepped up with a lot of creative stuff.”

Leaving The Voice for a season: “I cannot live in front of the camera 24 hours a day. I have to take breaks and stay connected with myself, I think that’s important so that you can be your best on camera. I’m a mom, when the cameras go off I put on sweats and a t-shirt and I’m mom. He starts kindergarten in the fall so I’m excited about that … I wanted, for myself, have a moment … I’ve been on a really incredible journey the past six months, I feel revived and renewed.”

[From HuffPo]

Wait, I thought she took a season off because she wanted to work on other projects? Wasn’t that the rationale she used at the time, that she wanted to promote her album and do some touring or something? And six months later, we realize that we barely saw her at all and she didn’t promote that much and so the whole coughcoughlap-bandcough theory is making more sense.

PS… Her makeup looks so much better too, right?

    She looks great. Lapband, Adderall or (cough cough) just eating right and working out?

    • Cherry says:

      She still hasn’t learned how to match the color of her face and body make up, though.

      • Anna says:

        Baby steps

      • smith says:

        I’m not a huge fan BUT I really don’t like Kelly Osbourne and the way she spent the past few years bringing up Christina’s weight gain every freakin’ chance she got.

        So, in conclusion (for the time being at least) …

        Dear Kelly;
        Eat it.
        Love, Smith (and I guess Christina A.)

    • Aussie girl says:

      +1 !!!

    • Belle Epoch says:

      She looks great. I have a friend who lost a LOT of weight using cocaine. Fortunately she stopped the coke – but then the weight came back!

      • FLORC says:

        Cocaine really screws up your metabolism when you do it for a length of time and quit. You’ll never be thin again in any healthy sense. Look at Debbie Harry (Blondie). She’s been outspoken on what it does to your body. Many other celebs have shared the same fate. It’s a lot like Cigarettes in the way that your body was once starved for fat because of an outside chemical and will transform more calories to fat and store them for longer because it was so deprived for so long.

        Christina looks fantastic, but I can’t see this as lap band results. Lap band is for people much larger than her with a proven streak of exercise and healthy food choices, but still couldn’t lose the weight. CA’s fat was from alcohol. I’m 5’5″ and blew up to 160 drinking during my freshman undergrad. I stop drinking without really changing my daily diet and lost the weight in 2 months. I think CA was a lot the same of just perpetually bloated and consuming too many sugar/fat calories.
        Of course, she wouldn’t be the first person to get a major surgery because she threw so money at a doctor.

      • Lauraq says:

        FLORC-Absolutely. It’s so weird. My brother was naturally lean, then started doing coke. Now we can tell whenever he’s off it because he gains a ton of weight. It boggles my mind that it could change his natural body type like that.

    • Andrew says:

      Yeah it’s NOT a lapband. I know people who have done lapband and you definitely don’t look like that. You have to work out to look that good. Plus she probably only had to lose 25/30 pounds because she’s short.

      • Yep says:

        Right. She wasn’t goddamn obese. I can’t imagine a legitimate doctor okay-ing a lapband for her.

      • Joanna says:

        Yeah, I think you have to be obese to get the lap band done.she’s a chronic loser, gainer so she’ll gain it back.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Exactly! Jeebus, the chick had an extra 15 lbs on her. She doesn’t qualify for a lapband nor should she.

      • Jano1981 says:

        I don’t think she took time off for a lapband either, she was not that heavy, I think she went to rehab. She’s clearly sober to have realized that makeup needed to go!!

      • V4Real says:

        I’m not going to go and start accusing the girl of using drugs to lose weight. It’s not like she lost the weight over night. She had a gradual weight loss. Adderall and other forms of drugs usually makes for a rapid weight loss.

      • Nerd Alert says:

        Right! Plus, she was drunk all the time before, constantly getting papped falling down drunk. She looks sober, and without the puffiness that betrays daily drunkenness. I know from experience that once you stop having 4-6 drinks every day, the weight just falls off.

      • deehunny says:

        yea, we are about the same size. she’s was 15-20lbs overweight. never obsese. look at how toned her legs are. serious dieting and exercise. good for her! but that comment about shakira, ouch!

      • MissM says:

        Agree and I really dislike the body-shaming tone of this post. She was hardly morbidly obese and it took her about 4 months to lose probably 20-25 lbs, which is about average. She’s been this tiny before, so just assuming lap band or a cocaine addition is silly.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        I agree, I don’t think she did lapband.

        Also…it REALLY makes sense that when her schedule lightened up that it made it easier to lose weight. Some folks that film have to wake up at 4:00am to get in exercise with a full day of filming, and I know that would be impossible for me!

    • hadleyb says:

      I am going with Adderall. It’s most commonly px’d to celebs to lose weight.

      It was too fast for it to be plain old diet and exercise.

      • Lily says:

        It took her 7-8 months to lose that extra weight and she was NOT obese. She is tiny person so every extra pound makes huge difference. Maybe she had some lipo after all to improve some areas but I doubt she did it in unhealthy way in general.

        BTW It’s good to see sparks in her eyes again. The bitch is back! I missed good old Xtina. She did photoshoot for MAXIM last week… Cant wait to see it.

    • Gabriella says:

      My guess is she’s been dieting and not drinking as much. Also, SPANX! Very tight one.

      • Jassy says:

        Oh come on guys, give credit where it’s due. This woman CLEARLY worked out to shed off the weight, you don’t look that good via dieting. Starving yourself and abusing pills makes you look frail, bony, weak. She clearly is toned and has gained a bit of muscle mass. Hard work guys, hard work……try it sometime.

    • Dinah says:

      @Yep:
      Michael Jackson wasn’t having nightly surgery, but he found someone to medically treat him as if he were(propofol/diprivan).

      All I’m saying is there are unscrupulous people in all professions, medicine included. If she could pay someone enough to apply a lap band, the deed could be done, regardless of conventional medical prerequisites.

    • skuddles says:

      I have to admit the first thing that popped into my mind was eating disorder… or drugs. She’s been a messy boozer for years so I have a hard time believing she lost the weight in a healthy fashion… but you never know. Hope I’m wrong.

  2. Daahling says:

    Yay! I miss Xtina! Regardless how she lost the weight, she looks amazing!!!

    • Demi says:

      i bet kelly osbourne is crying now

      • Lady D says:

        So it’s Christina’s turn to call her fat now, right? Waiting for the day when one of them shows some maturity.

      • blaize says:

        The whole feud between Kelly Osbourne and Christina Aguilera has been so immature and bitchy- on both their parts. I would have given Kelly a bit of a pass for the things she said last year, were it not for the fact that she’s the one who started their feud to begin with.

  3. bns says:

    Great that she lost weight and all, but I think she looks cheap and kind of D-list here. Like a real housewife of something something.

    • Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

      +1 My biggest problem with her as much as I love her, she ALWAYS looks cheap, unfailingly. It was never the weight, she’s a successful star but she looks like a d lister no matter what.

    • Esmom says:

      I can’t recall her ever not looking cheap and D-list. Seems that’s always been her style.

      • Lily says:

        Exactly! Ater 10+ years people are still talking about her trashy style. Com’ on y’all SHE WAS BORN THIS WAY!!!

  4. blue marie says:

    she looks really good. good for her.

  5. Anna says:

    Good for her, all around. She looks like she did back in her Geenie days.

  6. Karen says:

    Adderall more than lap band I’m thinking. That was fast.

  7. The Wizz says:

    She’s done more than just exercise and diet for this. I’ve recently lost 38 pounds in 5 months, I was smaller than her when I started and am bigger than her now

  8. Kate says:

    Lap band? Seriously? Christina’s such a tiny little thing, she’s probably only lost 20lbs. She was just a little chubby, even a really dodgy doctor wouldn’t perform lap band surgery on someone who at most was 5lbs above the healthy weight range.

    Besides she’s lost and gained weight like this at least half a dozen times. She yo-yo’s a little.

    • Andrew says:

      Agreed. She isn’t tall at all, so 20ish pounds looks like a lot more on her. She knows how to lose weight, she probably had a personal trainer.

  9. Hautie says:

    I seriously doubt she had a lap band. Christina probably had maybe 25 pounds to loose. She is all of maybe 5’1 and 25 pounds look like 50 on someone that small.

    And even though she had packed on some padding. I would suspect a lot of it was from booze and pizza. Cutting out the booze/pizza and walking daily, would have have her drop 20 pounds easily.

    Yet, I really thought she had went to rehab to be honest. Got dried out and hired a trainer.

    What I am most thrilled with… is the new wig. And no more clown red lip stick.

    • Sisi says:

      yeah I agree.
      Plus that dress looks like it has a mighty strong stretch area around the waist, so like those bandage dresses it works like a corset.

      Don’t get used to the non-red lips though. You only set yourself up for disappointment.

    • yolo112 says:

      hahahahha…new wig… and thank gawd the red lips are gone!! She looks so much better but still a little Barbie-ish.

      Lap band, no. I’m part of the shortie crew and 30lbs extra on a 5′ frame sucks! I just had a baby and that extra 15lbs to drop are hanging around but I look super chunk. The difference between 135 and 105 at 5′ is HUGE!!!

      Baby steps to improvement. Now if we can just convince her to start SINGING again instead of crazy runs and auto repeat over cheap techno tunes…

  10. freya says:

    Meh. My guess is she just stopped boozing and started working out again. My cousin used to be a boozer, she quit the alcohol and lost 20 pounds in like 8 weeks! And looked like she lost more, because no more bloat.

  11. Gabriella says:

    She does look great! Still needs to ease on the spray tan, hair bleach and excessive foundation, but one step at a time. Looking good, Xtina!

  12. Cherry says:

    I knew she would shed all that weight eventually. Not that she needed to- what she needed to do was get healthy, learn to dress for her body and get her life back on track. Well, so much for ‘I embrace my body and I everything about myself’.

    • Jag says:

      +1

      She’s just another in a long line of celebs who say they’re happy with their “curves,” and then lose a ton of weight.

      • yolo112 says:

        Wasn’t there a story about butt implants? lol..now that’s she’s lost all the weight, I wonder if she’s gonna be rocking a Kardashian ass… any pics from the backside? lol

      • Mimi says:

        Those weren’t curves….they were fat rolls

    • Asdfg says:

      OMG! Hahahaha thanks for the link! 😀 I love how her ass is heart shaped in the last pic!

  13. Willa says:

    Weight wise she looks good but the outfit, hair, & tan! She still looks trashy!,

  14. Sabrine says:

    Not lap band; she was never big enough for that. I would say some sort of weight loss pills were involved but who knows. Maybe she just had a good personal trainer and dietician. Add that to her being motivated and it’s a success.

    She doesn’t really look that trashy. Her lipstick is toned down. Maybe it’s the tan that gives that impression?

  15. Jayna says:

    She would have looked so good in this dress if she hadn’t pushed her boobs up to high heaven. She always said she was coming back but taking one season off, so didn’t push Shakira out.

    No touring while off. Seven years now. Unbelievable. I thought she luuved her curves. If so, why down to her thinnest size? LOL. But I liove her this weight. It suits her petite body frame, shape of her legs.

  16. Tessa says:

    She looks like a bimbo. I can’t tell how this look is any different or better than Courtney Stodden. Cheap, fake, dirty… She looks like she keeps her 20’s in a shoe box under the mattress, not a Grammy winning, multi platinum selling millionaire.

  17. L says:

    She wasn’t heavy enough for a lapband. Whatever it was, she looks like she lost it as a reasonable pace to me. No looking ‘deflated’ as it were. I think she just hired a kick ass trainer and laid off the vodka.

    Now she just needs to fix the spray tan and the makeup and she’s GTG. At least the clown lipstick is gone.

  18. Leah says:

    I love the sentiment that her life must be back on track now because she lost weight. It always comes down to someone’s weight no matter how much it’s denied.

    • Tessa says:

      The weight she was carrying looked like pure alcohol and laziness. She looks like she’s been working out on top of losing the bloat. To me it shows she’s focusing on her health, and maybe isn’t drinking anymore. Sometimes losing weight is indicative of living a healthier lifestyle. In this case, it definitely seems to be the case.

    • Andrew says:

      Well if she changed her lifestyle and focused on getting healthy, then I do call it getting her life back on track to an extent. I see what you’re saying, but if she quit the booze and pizza and the partying, then good for her. Plus her life was never completely off the rails or anything, she was still decently successful…I don’t think people are saying this is going to give her the career of a lifetime or anything

    • Stef Leppard says:

      Because her weight gain seemed to come from a negative place. She just looked so weighed down with booze bloat and unhappiness. Now she looks sort of refreshed (even though she’s still overprocessed).

  19. unmade_bed says:

    Christina is so funny to me–her entire persona. I love it. So extreme, so X-tina!

  20. nm says:

    Her body looks good, but the cheeto tan and the stragly hair are ugh! Girlfriend, no. She looks like a party girl bimbo going to the club for shots on a Saturday night.

  21. allons-y alonso says:

    “Maybe this just proves that Christina and Snooki are the same person” – *gasps in realisation!* 0.o

  22. lucy2 says:

    She looks really good, I hope she did it the right way.
    Now she just needs to ditch the orange skin and the white blonde doll hair, and she’ll look amazing.

  23. Turtle Dove says:

    She’s has had yo-yo weight for awhile, but I’ll give credit where credit is due – she looks really good in these shots and quite young looking in the face.

  24. Apsutter says:

    Damn girl…get it! It looks like she’s seriously been hitting the gym, just look at her toned arms and gams.

  25. erika says:

    adderall

  26. JudyK says:

    She looks AMAZING.

  27. GeeMoney says:

    I hope that she keeps this look up… that clown makeup doesn’t do anything for her but make her look ridiculous. Hopefully she’s seen the light, is a lot happier and healthier, and goes back to the studio and makes a good album. Although Lotus was a better album than Bionic (she’s deluded if she think that album was innovative… it was pure crap), she’s waaay far away from the days when her music was as good it was on her debut album and Stripped.

    I’m a fan of hers. I love her voice… currently waiting on your musical comeback, Xtina.

  28. Anna says:

    So….her boobs aren’t real?

  29. pao la says:

    She still has some horrible legs but she looks much better now. Her face is kind of plastic though.. she looks more and more like Cindy Lauper, with no offence to Cindy Lauper.

  30. Joanna says:

    I think she is really pretty, her makeup looks good. I wish she would ditch the platinum or whatever blond, it’s trashy looking. i liked her with dark hair in her “dirty” days.

  31. judyjudy says:

    I wonder that she looks like without any tan, make up, or bleach..id love to see a hippy – transformation of Christina.

  32. Murphy says:

    Maybe this will encourage others to lay off the booze too. Look what can happen! You can be gorgeous again! Put that wine bottle down!

  33. Leah says:

    She looks so much better but she will always have bad taste. The horrible peroxide hair, fake tan and dress is a no no.

  34. Nikollet says:

    She looks good.

    Now she just needs to step away from the spray tan booth…

  35. yuko says:

    I don’t think she was heavy enough for a lap band – especially since so much of her weight gain was alcohol + inactivity. I know some people gain weight when they wean off of booze because they overeat to fill the void. But if she didn’t fall into that trap, the weight loss is realistic. She was a well-known heavy binge drinker. If she stopped she could be cutting out +10,000 empty calories a week.

  36. emmie_a says:

    Seeing her bare tan legs in a short dress, I keep thinking of that picture of her with fake bake dripping down her leg. ewww

  37. Yelly says:

    She looks great, good for her! I’ll always have a special place in my heart for X-Tina.

  38. Cam S says:

    Looks like she lost the alcohol bloat. Stay dry hon!

  39. Dani says:

    She (her makeup artist) still didn’t learn how to not apply makeup on her hair line.

  40. Barrett says:

    Um I thought she loved her heavier self. She loved and wanted to be bigger, curvier? Was that a front for abuse of her body via food, drugs, alcohol?

    • Kim1 says:

      No celeb wants to be bigger ,curvier Sara Rue,Monique,Marissa Winokur,Jill Scott,Jenifer Hudson,Khloe Kardashian,Jordan Sparks,Snooki,Kelly Clarkson,Raven Symone,etc

  41. lisa says:

    as long as she insists on styling herself like a budget drag queen, i dont care what she weighs, she will always look awful to me

  42. Scooter says:

    Now this is the Christina we want to see. Stunning!

  43. Eden75 says:

    I’m the same height as her and lost 32 pounds (not near as fast mind you) and look like a different person. I don’t think it was a band or Adderall. Eating right and getting off your ass once in awhile when you’re our size does wonders. She can afford a full-time trainer and a nutritionist. A couple of months of work and *poof*, all gone.

    The clothes however? Xtina has always dressed horribly. This is just middle of the road for her. At least it’s not ass-less chaps.

  44. Alexandria says:

    Xtina looks great! I think it was a mixture of adderall or phentermine minus conspicuous alcohol consumption. Let’s just pray it’s not cocaine and she’s somewhat healthier!

  45. smee says:

    She looks great. Did she always have such a huge rack or did she get implants?

  46. truthful says:

    is it me?? her face is huge but her body has gone down–shrugs–fillers?

    she looks nice despite the hard tan and harsh hair.

  47. Asdfg says:

    Meh, I don’t like the dress at all.

    Her face gets rounder and rounder as she ages. Her nose has gotten bigger too.

  48. Becky says:

    Did she lose the boyfriend too?

  49. Jennifer12 says:

    Christina has always been a fake feminist. If girl power was marketable, she jumped on the bandwagon. So much for her statements about how much she loved her body. Not only that, but she’s pushing “lost 20 pounds” to the media. BS! I’m not much taller than her, and I know what I looked like and what I weighed after I had my kids. She was about 150-160 and my guess is she’s currently about 120. I doubt it was lapband because she wasn’t obese. My guess is Adderall or some kind of weight loss drug.

    • blaize says:

      I don’t think that choosing to lose weight undermines a woman’s ability to be a feminist. When I was in my early teens I was a little overweight, somewhere between 12 and 17 pounds. I liked the extra curves that came with extra pounds. And I’ve always loved to eat. I decided to lose the weight partially because people in my life were nagging me about it, and partially because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to maintain that size- that I would eventually become obese. I was not going to allow myself to be young and obese.

    • Lisa says:

      Uh oh. I should have my feminist card revoked for having an eating disorder, if those are the rules.

    • Jennifer12 says:

      Look, it’s not about losing weight. It’s about the dishonesty that permeates her life, and not just in this area. In this specific case, she has gone around telling the world how much she loves how she looks, only to deliberately make a show out of her weight loss. It’s telling people she lost 20 pounds when she clearly had much more to lose. If you’re proud of your body, you’re proud of it. If you changed your mind, then great, but don’t try to act as though you only had a small amount to lose. It’s very Kardashian of her, but Kardashian doesn’t try to use girl power as a media tool.

      • MissM says:

        I think your connections just don’t make much logical sense. I love my body, but I wouldn’t be sad if I dropped 10 lbs from my ass in my sleep tonight. You can be happy, but also want to make improvements.

      • blaize says:

        “The dishonesty that permeates her life…”

        How many public figures do you think are honest about everything, and have had no cosmetic surgery of any kind? There are probably very few of either sex who meat that criteria. I don’t think there are a lot of us regular folks who could truly say we’re ALWAYS honest either, or that we would be if we were in the public eye. While it’s obviously true that image is huge in Hollywood, that doesn’t necessarily mean that every opinion they all give is a lie.

        And to me it seems like it’s the media making a show of her weight loss, not her. I’ve only seen tabloids and gossip sites talk about the weight she has lost. Whenever a famous person gains or loses weight, there are always tabloids with so-called ‘experts’ claiming that the person has lost/gained this much weight or that much weight, or that they weigh a certain amount. A lot of times the numbers aren’t accurate.

      • Jennifer12 says:

        I’m not sure which connections you mean. She said she was happy with her body and so was her boyfriend. She said she embraced her body. Therefore, to then speak about her 20 pound weight loss- which I disagree with, I think it was more like 30 or 40- and make a stance with her appearance just seems hypocritical to me. I did not think she was obese and I do not care what she looks like. I disagree with the way she attempts to present herself and how she says one thing (“I am taking time from the voice to work on other projects”) and then says another (“I can’t live in front of the cameras 24-7”). There are a ton of liars in Hollywood, but if you want to present yourself as better than others (which I find Xtina does) then you better be able to back it up. If you don’t agree, it’s fine.

  50. Dommy Dearest says:

    I wonder if she is wearing spanx. She looks great but her face is still a little chubby. It makes me wonder just how much she lost versus how much she is covering. I’m not sure if it’s the face loses weight at the end of it all or what, does anyone know?

  51. Bread and Circuses says:

    I’d say she went away to get sober during her time off. The weight loss was probably a side-effect of a big–but quiet–lifestyle change.

    Good for her, if that’s it.

  52. diva says:

    She wasn’t big enough for lap band surgery. Since she’s tiny ANY weight she gains is obvious on her. She looks great. Glad she looks happier.

    • Madriani's Girl says:

      Agreed. Her weight wasn’t all that big had she been 5’7″ or so but she is so tiny, even a 5 pound weight gain really shows on her.

  53. Katie says:

    She hasn’t looked this thin in years, so good for her. I just hope she did it in a healthy way.

    Also, I am SAD that Shakira is getting the boot so Christina can come back. Her and Usher really gave The Voice something nice a fresh.

    • Miss T says:

      Shakira and Usher will be back season 6. I like all of the coaches so I’m glad they’ll continue to alternate.

  54. Madriani's Girl says:

    She gets props for looking so good even if she does need to lose that hair color.

    But. This proves what we all already knew when she lied and said she was comfortable being a big girl and that she felt sexy and beautiful while she was a heifer. Obviously, she was miserable and decided to lose the weight, however she did it. But this won’t help because she has serious issues that run deep and weight gain was just a manifestation of that. She is still partying like mad.

    • meh says:

      Gee, I wonder why she wasn’t comfortable with herself when people were calling her things like “heifer.”

        Exactly! A person can start off proud of or ok with some aspect of themselves, but once society starts incessantly shaming you about that thing- be it weight, sexual orientation, or anything else- you start to gradually feel less comfortable about that thing over time. That’s part of the reason why I lost my weight.

        Well, being as how I’m a heifer myself, it doesn’t matter. And not that I care what you think, I happen to believe Christina is extremely pretty no matter what her weight is.

    Man, what a tacky video!

    Blond Snooki strikes again!

  57. Reece says:

    She looks like her old self which is good…better than lately.

  58. Alexandria says:

    Does anyone have a designer ID for her pink mini dress? Any help is appreciated ( :

  59. Birdie says:

    Orange skin, pounds of makeup and white hair is attractive? I don’t think so. She looks like a p-rn star or Courtney Stodden. She is a pretty woman actually. Shame she has zero taste.
    But the weight loss looks good on her.

    The Good: With that tiny frame an extra 15 pounds looks like 50, so lapband is out. She just stopped drinking and probably is eating better. She looks healthy.

    The Bad: Love Xtina but she seriously needs to get a stylist or a better one. She always looks like she just climbed off a damn pole.

  61. nordicgoddess says:

    she probably stopped drinking…she doesn’t look bloated. too bad for the giant fake boobs..hopefully she can stay off the alcohol…

  62. blaize says:

    Wow, she looks really cute here. This is the first time I’ve loved a Christina Aguilera look in a long time.

    A lot of people are saying that she’s a liar and a hypocrite for losing weight after saying that she liked her curves and was comfortable with her body. It kind of reminds me of how people were really pissed at Jennifer Hudson after she lost the weight.

    I could believe that she did like the curves that came with being a little overweight, because in an interview from years ago when she was thin, I remember her saying something about wanting more curves or liking more curves. Plus, when she was overweight, she didn’t suddenly start covering up- a lot of people who aren’t comfortable with their weight try to hide it with looser, more conservative clothes.

    But no matter how she felt about her body, she still needed to deal with the problems that caused her to gain weight in the first place: depression and alcoholism. Her weight loss is a positive, healthy change. So I’m not going to get on her for losing weight. I don’t like body-shaming or body-policing anyway. The depression and alcoholism that caused her to gain weight makes it feel extra icky to do so.

      Well said!

    • Asdfg says:

      Demi Lovato does that. She says she’s happy being “curvy” yet she NEVER flaunts her curves. Instead she covers herself up in baggy clothing. What a shame. Curves are lovely.

  63. Kristen says:

    I’m thinking she took the time off to just get her act together. Rehab, even?

  64. Laura Zimmerman says:

    Christine took time away to deal with an out of control situation. Let’s not be too critical of her. She obviously worked hard in whatever way to lose the weight, and has toned down that awful makeup. So, she has come to some realizations, and thank God for that. She has stopped the long slide into alcoholism, she just looks too healthy now. She has apparently surrounded herself with positive people, people who will tell her the truth instead of just being worried about keeping their jobs. If she had a lap band, is that the worst thing she could have done? It isn’t the greatest, but if she needed it, kudos to her for getting it. She was making a positive move in her life. Maybe now the music will follow suit. Brave woman!!

  65. Hakura says:

    Something about her eye-makeup is bugging me. (As someone very into makeup for fun, I can’t seem to ignore it). With the eye-liner being *so* thick on top, I think the liner on bottom is too thin. (I’d personally tone down the top, as opposed to adding to the bottom). Otherwise I really like her makeup.

    Her body is looking great! As someone else mentioned, the outfit/look would be *perfect* if not for the boobs forced to defy gravity. xD

    “Xtina Abigwhora…”

    Ah, it’s always refreshing to see who the lovely patrons of Westboro will target next for breaking your very um, DATED ideas about clothing, dating, and other matters of personal choice. Last week it was Taylor Swift. This week you’ve chosen Aguilera. Who’s next? 😀

  67. Amanda G says:

    I’m glad she finally got the memo that her entire appearance needed an upgrade. I think that’s one reason why her music career has suffered. Now if only she can get a personality makeover…

  68. Claudia says:

    I lost 10 pounds in less than six months, and 15 pounds in the last year. How? Just eating a lot cleaner, mindful about sugar and salt content and avoiding soda/most dairy/fried foods. I would do zumba a couple of times a week if I remembered. That was it. I think the speculation that she lost the weight due to drugs/surgery are unfair. I genuinely think she lost the weight the good old fashioned way like I did (and worked at it more than I did, for sure). I’m a shorty too (5’2), any amount gained/lost is really noticeable even if it’s just a few pounds.

  69. Bijlee says:

    Gawd this is gonna annoy me all day. She looks like someone now. I cannot put my finger on it, but there’s some celebrity out there and she looks like her.

  70. hairball says:

    She has value again now that she lost weight.

  71. K says:

    You don’t get a lapband to lose 20 lbs, it doesn’t come off quickly just because you got surgery, and you still diet and exercise. Sorry for being overly sensitive, but it wasn’t funny either.

  72. Nibbi says:

    She looks great. A LOT younger, too. i remember her old self now. the makeup is much, much better. i’m even happy she doesn’t have miles-long dagger nails.

    the only thing is i wish ppl would realize how bad gigantic implants look. they unbalance her new thin body. but ok. fine.

  73. kewhahkage says:

    wow! she looks so much younger. but i am still not a big fan of hers.

  74. melissa says:

    Really? 20 lbs in 6 months and that’s fast??? What planet are you on? She probably got a round-the-clock trainer and dietitian.

    Let’s do a TINY bit of math here. There’s 24 weeks in 6 months. A healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. That’s 24-48 lbs in 6 months. She had more than enough time to lose 20lbs.
