The album cover for Christina Aguilera’s upcoming Lotus has been revealed, and … holy Photoshop. Obviously, this image barely just represents Christina really looks like at all (ever, not merely at her current physicality), so I am assuming that her own statements about the record being “a rebirth for me” were meant in a very comprehensive manner. The less said on that topic the better, right? On a related note though, there has been an update to the Christina story where she supposedly told off her record company with the “You are working with a fat girl, get over it” line. Now Christina claims that she never said that at all, which I guess is surprising because her (made-up) words sounded really authentic. Oh well.
Meanwhile, we’ve already heard X-tina’s new rather boring single (that also arrives with a trashy video) from the album, and if that single is any indication, this record probably won’t be the huge smash hit that Christina so desires. Of course, she doesn’t even really need it to be a massive success because she’s already got enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
Here’s a few photos of Christina out with boyfriend Matthew Rutler and her son, Max, shopping out in Brentwood. Max has a new Vampy Vince doll in hand and seems quite pleased as a result. Cute kiddo.

Regarding the shopping with her son photo: It’s interesting how she looks healthy and attractive when she’s wearing normal clothes. But when she puts on her stripper outfits, it’s a totally different story.
That should be a statement, not a question.
Christina Aguilera looks like Gandalf
She shall not pass !
Shopped to oblivion
I’m impressed- not only is she holding her own kid’s hand (as opposed to having her boyfriend carry him) but she’s actually been photographed with him. Of course, she’s holding his WRIST, as opposed to his hand. Wish she truly embraced how she looks now as opposed to photoshopping the hell out of herself, but Christina has always run fake empowerment lines.
Ohhh Xtina, step away from the leggings…
Lotus??? Did she mean Mermaid?
Or perhaps Venus? Ew or she’s representing herself as Buddah or Hindu goddess Lakshmi rising from the Lotus. Which doesn’t that represent ‘purity’? Sorry, but no Xtina
My first impression of the pose was sort of ‘on the cross’, perhaps naked in that pose to represent persecution? (Not that I’m overly religious, but Xtina playing Jesus is just.. scary xD. I do hope she’s not directly offending anyone else’s religion.)
Then the whole lotus thing with rebirth being naked & ‘pure’ again. Photoshop was abused beyond measure.
She’s emerging from a lotus.
IDK. I look way better naked. May not be that ‘shopped. & I agree with “really” in clothes that fit her, like what she’s wearing walking w/her kid, she looks good
I work with photoshop every single day of work. It’s quite photoshopped. It could be worse- but it’s still pretty heavy. In the album cover they’ve narrowed her hips, gotten rid of every line that would indicate extra weight on her torse, and photoshopped the crap out of her breasts. Look at the image for the single. Her breasts are way lower, and that’s with her raising her arms. To me, the area on both sides of her waist has been tucked in on that image as well- especially her right, our left.
obviously she is photoshopped, she is not orange 😛
Haha, that’s what struck me, too. It’s not even that her body shape is photoshopped (which it obviously is), but her skin color is totally different.
Hahaha and what about her boobs they are very small in the pic
I just hope her adorable little boy doesn’t ever see her obnoxiously trashy video where she hitchhikes like a hooker…(or.. any of her other videos beyond ‘Genie In A Bottle‘…or at least no later than ‘Come On Over‘)
Can you imagine how damaging that could be to his psyche?
WTH is going on with the proportions of her torso? If yu look at where her nipples would by, they almost would line up with her shoulder. Something is way off there.
where did her huge boobs go on that cover?
yea really. Everything about her body is smaller; everything photoshopped to cray cray proporttions
Everything is weird on this shot. Plus, come on all these statements about stars posing naked; yet, you see nothing. She’s more covered in this photo that a girl in a skimpy bikini with her boobs and ass hanging out. Spare me.
Anyway, awful cover because the face is odd, not real, and where are her big boobs?
I hope this album is good. I love her voice.
If I remember right, pretty much every first single she’s released from her new albums are ill-received. I remember people thinking “Dirrrty” was nothing but yelling and a lame “who?” rapper added for pop-value. And definitely “Not myself tonight.”
Actually, we can go back to “Genie in a bottle” where people thought she was a cheap britney rip-off. So, with the exception of “beautiful” and maybe another sappy ballad or two, her singles have always felt a little bland, but that doesn’t keep her records from selling (Bionic sort of excepted).
And: “your body” actually grows on you….
(fangirl Heather over and out).
The leggings/fedora/sweater outfit isn’t horrible…..
The album cover: fairly horrible.
VAG-SHADOW.
Yes, I’m not sure if it’s just my perverted eyes, but all I saw was the ghost of a not-quite-entirely-shopped-out muff.
really? I just thoroughly scruitized the pic and could find nothing of the sort
I really can’t be bothered about the album cover and its obvious photoshop I just really hope & pray that she’s taken vocal lessons of some kind because Jesus knows I cannot take another performance where she’s wailing, grunting and screeching off key and trying to pass it of as singing she’s so talented it pisses me of when She wails like a banshee cow she’s capable of so much more.
So true! I’ve been thinking that for years!
Why is she ALWAYS wearing black leggings? I’m sorry, I know others are saying she looks better dressed while out with her son, but I gotta disagree. Maybe they’re better than ill-fitting leotards, but the ubiquitous leggings aren’t doing her any favors! Does she not have any actual pants anymore? Leggings are NOT pants!
I live in Wisconsin. She looks like most women here. No, she doesn’t look like a super model, but I don’t think Christina’s body is that horrible. I just wish she would dress it better.
Now that hair — is she 12? Is it 1986? I can’t do the eighties again, man! The smell of Aqua Net and the color neon green still give me nightmares.
Photoshop indeed & maybe trying for the Kim K look.. why bother.. ugh
She should have stuck with Jordan. That man worshipped her and he had a real job.
lulz, true. I like how her new BF was all smiles when he first got with her and now constantly looks pissed off, haha.
All that photoshopping and they couldn’t even cover over her tattoo? It sticks out and distracts from the overall clean, etheral look of the image.
Anyway, I don’t care too much about what the cover looks like, I’m just hoping the album kicks a$$. I’m a little worried that it was so rushed (she usually takes 3-4 years between albums) and the fact that she wrote and recorded these new songs during a period in her life where she’s a bit of a drunken mess.
Hopefully it’ll be a big enough hit to keep her going, and then next time she can give us another masterpiece like Back To Basics after she takes some time to get her head straight.
If the first single is any indication, it looks like Xtina may just be treading water with this album. But she’s shown brilliance in the past, and I’m hoping we’ll see it again one day when she realizes that she was at her best when she made the kind of music that mattered to her and wasn’t trying to compete with booty-shaking pop sluts.
Overly photo-shopped is the understatement of the year.
With all the money she could spend on professionals, why to make her cover look like amateur shop?
This cover is awful and obviously photoshopped to hell. Why cant she just come to terms with her fuller figure that she has now. Shes looks like a size 12 now unlike her size 4 ass circa 2000. She shouldnt act like shes still skinny too shes in weight denial.
