Christina Aguilera in Maxim Photo Shoot. Christina Aguilera is back and looking red hot in the pages of Maxim magazine.
The 32-year-old superstar singer appears on the cover of the October 2013 issue of the magazine looking sexy and slim in nothing but a black push-up bra and a white men's button-down. Her tousled platinum hair and sultry pose make for quite the steamy cover shot.
Inside the pages, the "Voice" mentor is no less sizzling in a skintight red satin dress and her hair piled atop her head. Despite the undeniable sex appeal, Aguilera thinks the definition of "sexy" is a bit more relaxed.
"I’m such a down-to-earth girl, I’m comfortable in just a jersey and boy’s underwear," she said. "Trying too hard to be sexy is the worst thing you can do. Sexiness should be effortless."
Aguilera, who has been dating Matt Rutler since 2010, also opened up about her sex life.
"The only place I don't need to be in control is the bedroom," she told Maxim, via People magazine. "Sometimes being sexual with my partner is a great way to blow off steam at the end of a hard day's work. I'm not the girl who's going to be too tired."
The singer gave a behind-the-scenes look at her Maxim shoot in the handmade music video for her new single, "Let There Be Love." In the video, the blond bombshell can be seen wearing a red dress while laughing with her makeup team on set.

Ireland Baldwin Meet Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s Model Daughter. Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s 17-year-old daughter has inked a deal with two major modeling agencies.
There’s a new Baldwin in town. Ireland Baldwin, the 17-year-old daughter of Oscar-winning actress Kim Basinger and ex-husband Alec Baldwin, has landed her very first modeling deal.
Baldwin has signed on with two different agencies,
Two Management in Los Angeles and IMG in New York, where she will join the ranks of legendary models like Kate Moss, Karlie Kloss and Chanel Iman. The young talent shared the news with her 20,000+ Twitter followers last week. “Officially working for @TwoManagement and @IMGModels ! I’m blessed, happy, and ready to WEEEEERK,” she wrote.
The Hollywood offspring definitely has model attributes. She stands at six feet two inches tall with a slim body and long blonde hair. According to her Tumblr page, her interests include in acting, dancing, writing, cinematography, filmography, alternative medicines, fitness and health. She also owns eight dogs and is a self-proclaimed “coffee addict.” Her strict dietary regimen, also outlined, consists of 30 minutes to one hour of cardio per day and daily servings of green tea, but she insists that she doesn’t “fast, binge or starve.”
Baldwin frequently posts photos to her Instagram account of her surfing with her boyfriend, professional standup paddle surfer and racer Slater Trout.
Modeling could be a natural move for Baldwin, as Basinger signed with Ford modeling agency at age 16 and starred in a series of ad campaigns before beginning her film career.
Baldwin expressed her admiration for her mother in a recent photo posted to her Twitter account. “My mom was the hottest Bond babe. Lets get real,” she wrote in the caption.

Track Facing Copyright Issues Baauer's ‘Harlem Shake’. Baauer has been enjoying the fruits of his labor with his track “Harlem Shake” by gaining Internet viral fame and climbing the Billboard charts to the number one spot for the past three weeks.
But he's now garnering attention from two musicians claiming his song sampled their music, without obtaining licensing for their songs.
Former reggaetón artist Hector Delgado and rapper Jayson Musson were both astonished when friends brought to their attention that their voices were used on “Harlem Shake," and are now seeking payment from Baauer’s record label, Mad Decent Records, as reported by the New York Times. Both parts in the song sampling the artists’s voices provide the pivotal moments in the viral videos, when fans explode into a dance frenzy.
Delgado, who is now an evangelical preacher, is heard saying the line “con los terroristas” (“with the terrorists”) on the song, and Musson exhorts, “do the Harlem Shake!”
“It’s almost like they came on my land and built a house,” Delgado told The Times.
The origins of the sampling began in Philadelphia when Baauer, whose real name is Harry Rodrigues, was working in the hip hop and electronic scene under the moniker, Cap’n Harry.
The sample was a trademark shout-out of Delgado’s songs, which Baauer found online. When Baauer was asked by the Daily Beast how he found Delgado’s famous line, the EDM producer said, “The dude in the beginning I got somewhere off the Internet, I don’t even know where.”
Musson’s chant is from the 2001 song, “Miller Time,” by the Philadelphia rap group, Plastic Little. He told the New York Times that when he found out his voice was used in the track, he called Baauer and thanked him for “doing something useful with our annoying music.”
Both artists are in discussions with the record label for payment for the samples and Musson has said they are being “cooperative.”
The ‘Bachelor’ of Virgin Mystery and Bachelor Proposes Official Video. The Bachelor doesn’t have the best track record for helping its stars get hitched not a single winning couple in 17 seasons has ever walked down the aisle but it usually leads to something else.
Even if the guy is on the fence about a girl, he’ll still go to second base with her, or further. And the producers linger on every passionate kiss. This eventually escalates into the fantasy suite date, which involves activities that can’t be televised on ABC. Mike Fleiss, the series creator, has said the average Bachelor sleeps with three women each season.
But Sean Lowe, the current Bachelor, had a different approach to reality-TV dating. He reportedly stayed celibate during his time on the show, which ended on Monday night with a teary wedding proposal to Catherine Giudici followed by a ride through Thailand on an elephant. (The runner-up, Lindsay Yenter, went home sobbing.) Lowe is a born-again virgin, a development the Bachelor cameras mostly ignored. It’s a mystery why a series built on sex wouldn’t explore its central character not having sex.
When reached on Monday, a publicist for The Bachelor said producers weren’t available for comment.
We first met Sean last summer as a contestant on The Bachelorette with Emily Maynard. A 29-year-old former fitness model, he had viewers swooning with his sculpted biceps and abs.
Although we learned (vaguely) that religion was an important part of Sean’s life, there was no tipoff that he was abstaining from sex. At the end of The Bachelorette, when Lowe and Maynard started making out, the camera cut to a testimonial from her, saying she wanted him to spend the night but she couldn’t do that to her daughter.
He was eliminated later in that episode. “I think she had a pretty good idea of what my values were,” Lowe told me in an interview last week. “I would definitely say we weren’t in the dark.”
As he began his reign on The Bachelor, Lowe followed the series script closely: each date ended with heavy kissing. He never brought up sex; it was the tabloids that broke the story.
Us Weekly dubbed him “The Virgin Bachelor,” reporting that Lowe swore off sex after college. Even though the finale was filmed in November, the magazine said Lowe still hadn’t slept with his fiancée.
Instead of telling us what made him different than all the previous bachelors, the show edited Lowe to look like every other guy. But when he was finally allowed to speak freely on Monday’s live “After the Rose” interview, Lowe came across as more religious. He said that during his final deliberations, “I stayed in prayer constantly.”
On why he finally picked Catherine, he told Lindsay: “God reveals things on His own time.” Host Chris Harrison asked simple questions about an overhyped letter Catherine wrote to Sean. The couple announced they will get married on live TV at a later date.
Lowe told me he didn’t understand why the virginity story had gotten so much attention.
“I’m shocked,” he said. “I don’t know why every tabloid feels the need to talk about it.” Of the born-again virgin label, he said, “I’ve never described myself that way,” though he later clarified, “it’s true.”
“It’s a decision that I’ve made,” he added. “But I don’t think it needs to be discussed on the show. That’s my personal opinion…for me, it’s a non-story.”
But it is an important part of the story. When Lowe approached the last three women during the fantasy suite episode, they seemed as perplexed as the viewers at home. He told them on camera that he didn’t want to have sex; he just wanted to talk. “Those three women knew what was going on,” Lowe said. “All three of them have the same values I have.” Did the producers know that he was born-again virgin? “I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
Boobs Worth $5 Million Jennifer Love Hewitt's. Jennifer Love Hewitt knows what her best assets are and she is willing to protect them.
The 34-year-old actress admitted to USA Today that she would consider getting her breasts insured for somewhere around the $5 million range.
"I need, like, an insurance invitation. If somebody was like, 'Hey, you know what? We would like to insure your boobs for $2.5 million dollars,' I'd be like, 'Do it. Love it! Why not?'" Hewitt, who wears a 36C cup size, joked about her boobs, according to Us Weekly.
Pointing to her chest she added, "These things right here are worth $5 million!"
Hewitt has previously admitted that her breasts are her favorite body part. "It's horrible to say, but I like my boobs," she told Maxim magazine last year.
"They've always served me well. They're good."
Hewitt's breasts are certainly a focal point in her Lifetime series, "The Client List," in which she plays prostitute Riley Parks. In the show, the actress dons loads of sexy lingerie for her male clients.
But, she tells USA Today that she has become tired of fancy bedroom attire in real life. "I've cut down on the lingerie in my own life because I wear it all the time," she said. "So, it's like I don't want to go home and even think about another cute bra and panties set. I'm over it!"
Her skimpy on-set wardrobe definitely caught the attention of at least one person Brian Hallisay.
Hallisay, who co-stars with Hewitt as her on-screen husband, has been dating Hewitt for over a year now and the "Party of Five" star is reportedly hoping to settle down soon.
