On her pregnancy being a surprise: "We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn't know how much time it would take. You've heard it takes some time -- except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here... I'm like, Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?"

On being pregnant during her 'Back to Basics' tour: "I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong -- somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show." So she wore a well-concealed heart monitor. She didn't want to broadcast the news. "I didn't want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, 'Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?' But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back."

On her simple decision not to announce anything: "Because I hadn't said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that's not the case at all. I just wasn't commenting. I'm not being like, 'Hey, everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl."

On the domestication of Xtina being complicated: "We're so labeled. If you're too sexual, you're slutty. If you're not sexual enough, you're a prude. I like to put it out there as a topic of conversation. Why does it bother you? What's your problem with it? Am I really hurting you? Let's get to the root of it. I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing. Sometimes I want to be aggressive, sometimes I want to feel empowered in my sexuality and my vulnerability. I want to put all that out there."

Demi Moore she ain't.

Why is every moment in this slut's life an excuse to expose herself?

I bounced a check (strips). I got my oil changed (strips). It's Lincolns birthday (strips).

She wouldn't know what to do with herself if she had to keep her clothes on. She's got some shit self-esteem.

Motherhood is beautiful, Christina Aguilera makes it look slutty.

what us guys have to learn is that some women are sexual objects, despite what our 2nd/3rd wave feminist mothers say, and some aren't. Those that aren't most of the time, sometimes want to be treated as such and those that are most of the time sometimes want to be treated as a non-sexual object or even as a normal person. All the time we, men and butch lesbians, have to be careful to read situations and individual women correctly so that we know when its proper to treat them as sexual object or when its appropriate to do our best to shut their sex appeal out of our minds. For example, Christina Aguilera is a sexual object most of the time, she sells her sexuality to help her music sales. However, right now talking about her pregnancy she is a mature sexually empowered mother to be, not a sexual object. /facetiousness

Hope the clears things up.
