I hope she's feeling good. If she's pregnant, cool, but I want Bionic. She said she was focused on her career this year so no babies for awhile.

Max Bratman plays at the park with dad Jordan Bratman on Sunday (March 7) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
While mama Christina Aguilera wasn’t there to play with the guys, the two-year-old cutie seemed to have a blast spending time with his dad.
Christina designed her own Chrysler 300 recently! According to MotorTrend, she made the interior of the car more eco-friendly by using sustainable materials like bamboo. The car will be auctioned off to benefit Haiti relief efforts.
10+ pictures inside of Jordan & Max Bratman playing at the park..

You've also got Christina Aguilera's new album Bionic coming up - how did you get involved with that, and what are you doing on it?
The greatest thing about that is that we share one of the greatest engineers in the US, probably in the world, his name is Oscar Ramirez - I believe in him that much. He's been a cohort in my career for years, and he's been her vocal engineer and mixing engineer for years. And it just so happens he was like, “She's doing an album and I'll get you a connection.“ So I did it, she took some tracks and it was amazing. We did a song and an interlude together - it's called 'Sex for Breakfast'.
So how do you work with her - does she provide a brief and you give her some examples?
Well, the track was already done, so my job was pretty much done. But she was also working on the track with a writer by the name of Detail, who is a new writer, a crazy writer.
Christina is a genius - she really is one of the greatest artists on the pop side 'cos she knows exactly what she is looking for and is not afraid to tell you. She's not afraid to show you some examples.
It was the first project I've ever worked on where someone sent me examples and showed me the exact parts in the song they were looking for. She's very particular and a perfectionist and I love it, and it's awesome watching her work. But as far as the vocals are concerned I try to keep my input to a minimum because she knows what she is doing - I'm just there if she needs anything.
And she's got some UK electro acts like Ladytron and Goldfrapp producing stuff for the record. Do you think she could be starting off a new trend for US R&B-based pop acts?
I believe that because her fanbase is so loyal anything Christina does is the start of a new trend. But no one's going to do it like she does.

Petite powerhouse Christina Aguilera has created an eco-friendly Chrysler for Haitian earthquake relief.
The singer teamed up with the American automaker to help launch the new EcoStyle By Christina Aguilera — which features recycled materials in the interior and an economic engine. Aguilera put her own personal touches — and autograph — on a white Chrysler 300, which will be sold to raise money for disaster relief efforts in Haiti in an upcoming charity auction.

By way of warming European crowds to the notion of the Chrysler 300 replacing the large Lancia Thesis (expected next year), two 300s adorned the stand. The black one’s interior was “reinterpreted” by the Lancia Style Centre with cashmere carpet and mats, off-white Poltrona Frau leather with red stitching, and upscale material covering the center stack and console. The white one, dubbed “Ecostyle” was designed by Christina Aguilera with features a water-based Vanilla, cactus-colored seat-inserts and bamboo applique placed on the door trim and center console (all sustainable materials). The car is to be auctioned to benefit relief efforts in Haiti.

"I just got back to my hotel after a 16 hour day of work, my last on the movie Burlesque. I am really tired, but I can't imagine how the girl dancers are feeling tonight. They have been dancing their asses off, at full pelt, all day long, wearing these chain-mail style dresses that are already making scrapes and grazes on their skin - and they have a whole day of doing it all again tomorrow. It's the finale of the film, a song written by Christina, and it really is amazing. But wow, those girls, I don't envy them. And the set is so hot because there are huge stage lights on all day and the air conditioning can't be turned on because it makes the smoke that is pumped into the sound stage to increase the lighting effects disappear. At least they all look totally hot and are going to be worshipped the world over come Thanksgiving. Here's a little film I made today... "

The speculation continues with more clues
Somebody figured out that the backstory for the viral videos is actually based on the myth of Huldra 'lady of the forest'.
Huldra's myth:
These videos are based on the mythological Huldra from folklore. She is an ugly creature covered in bark and mud/soot, that hangs from trees and lures men and has her way with them (which would explain all the sexual shit going on in the videos). She looks like a beautiful, blond, blue-eyed beauty but when the female Huldra is discovered, the glamour masking her true ugly self vanishes. Glamour. Glam. Glam is only a mask. Christina's first single is "Glam".
Musically, this sounds like Christina's new direction. Ladytron said the 4 songs they co-wrote and produced for Christina were a lot like their Velocifero/Witching Hour sound which is SO much like the music used in the viral vids.
The girl in the viral video is in a womb like place during the first 3 videos. The concept of birth and pregnancy are very important in these videos. Guess what Christina said about her new album back in 2008?
"This incredible thing that has taken place in my life between the pregnancy and the birth I have so much to be inspired about and so much in me to write about. ... I can't say too much but I've been brain-storming for the last 9 months of pregnancy so I have all these mood boards for visuals and how I'd like to evolve and transform into a new character." - QUOTE BY CHRISTINA AGUILERA calling in to a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest in Feb 2008.
There are 6 girls growing in that womb place:
^ Some of the videos could feature any one of these girls. They wouldn't all look alike so that would explain the differences in their facial features.
An insider with Christina's marketing team has already confirmed that the album is slated for a May release with the single dropping in mid March. (Glam might not be the first single, they haven't decided on the first single yet!) I'd say that is about the right timing for the 6th video to drop. (The last 2 or 3 virals came within 2 and half weeks of eachother).
But the coincidences are piling up. First the codes "CH:AG" and "I AM C", then Christina stepping out wearing the cake tshirt the same day the 3rd viral came out with the SAME cakes randomly floating around the embryonic fluid. We have Christina talking about birth being a focal point for the album: How she did alot of these visual/mood boards and brainstorming WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT. She has said she wants to explore the whole birth and preganacy thing for Bionic. She hires this incredible photographer Alix Malka, and his beautifully freaky imagery, to shoot her album artwork 6-7 months before the album is even expected to be released? Why? The water and the colors used in the virals SCREAMS Alix Malka's photography. Christina's label say the marketing for Bionic is already out there and that we have been exposed to it. What could that possibly be? Christina hasn't done anything besides shoot her new movie since Nov 2009. (These virals started coming out in Dec 2009, one month after she met up with Alix Malka in LA) Her label also said she would be using a completely different type of marketing she has never done before and that it would be "outside of the box". Hmmmm.
Also, indie producer Diplo ( who produced MIA's Paper Planes) twittered that he was hanging with Christina late one night a few days ago. She is still recording songs for Bionic apparently. Is Diplo still mixing the album or they could be doing new songs together? Christina is also working with producer Switch (Diplo's partner) on several tracks! Just to point out that Christina still recording at this late stage is not new behaviour. She did that with Stripped and even after Ain't No Other Man hit radio, Christina was still recording songs for B2B. John Hill (Who also worked with Santigold) already claimed credit for producing the song "Bionic" which the album is named after.
Each viral video represents a metaphorical statement linking itself to the TITLES OF THE SONGS ON CHRISTINA'S ALBUM. "Bionic" - The lifelike ability to perform supernatural things. Hence the ability to lick a tree for a life producing element which begins to flow freely. (Viral Video 2) BIONIC - Having lifelike attachments not natural to one's body. i.e. The arms and legs extending from the trees in the first video. Another song on Christina's album (co-written and produced by Ladytron) is "Birds of Prey". The owl noticing its prey in sight and gearing down to attack is another example from the first video. Christina said she didn't want to talk about song titles, in her radio message last year, because "they had so much meaning". She also has a new song by Ladytron called "Kimono Girl", which is pretty sweet since Christina lived in Japan for several years when she was a small girl.
"Glam" being the first single (Still not confirmed) could have a completely different meaning than what we would automatically expect. (Looking beautiful and glam and all that and going out partying *yawn*). Just judging by her current style, which is so much more edgy and messy:
^ Using the Huldra myth in these virals and the whole magical GLAMOUR masking thing being a key feature. We already know Christina is almost completely naked on her album cover which was shot by Alix Malka. And Ladytron said the work they did for Christina focused on the weird side of humanity.
Christina's publicist said it wasn't her. But c'mon, think about it:
This is a viral campaign where the mystery of the girl's identity is the main point... Obviously admitting it's Christina (or whoever) after only 3 vids is just plain stupid. The whole campaign will be OVER despite having several more videos to release including the big reveal. Okay, so being honest and saying "Yes" is obviously not an option. But in Christina's case, where she is the number 1 suspect, saying "No Comment" will automatically mean they're hiding something and therefore more likely to be Christina and thus ruining the big reveal since everyone will think it's her. The only option Christina's publicist had was to say NO and lay low... even if this really is Christina.
Basically, what the publicist says means absolutely nothing either way. We won't know for sure until the girl in the video is revealed or Christina comes out with her new bionic era image. Thankfully, her movie Burlesque wraps filming in just a few days. Then she can finally switch to focusing on the album.
6 seems to be a number that keeps coming up in all the videos so we're all thinking that there will be 6 videos in the whole set.
We're up to video 5 at the moment.
The next one should drop in mid-March.
Guess who has a new single dropping in mid-March?
Christina Aguilera.

Or it could be Britney?
