As she enters her seventeenth trimester, the news that Christina Aguilera is pregnant has been made official. Aguilera will have the baby in early 2008. She, of course, has been pregnant with this child for the past three years (based on US Weekly statistics).
Personally, I don't care about Aguilera being knocked up. I think the whole pregnancy thing is overhyped in our country. Hey, congratulations, you had unprotected sex. I got some girl pregnant last year, and no one was congratulating me. I wasn't on the cover of In Touch. In fact, I only got one card, and it was from some guy named "Judge," and there was no money in it, so I ended up throwing it out.
But here's why this is interesting: Aguilera revealed this news in an exclusive interview with Glamour magazine. That's right, a baby is now officially a press opp! Too bad she doesn't have an album coming out in 2008, she could've really maximized press right before the release. Is it too late to throw together a covers album? I'm gonna call Carrie Underwood, I know she probably won't have another album til '09, but if we get together in mid-2008, we can time this kid up so he's coming out right as Underwood's third album is released. That's gotta guarantee at least a two week run on top of the charts.
Christina told Glamour that she can't wait to "enter into mommyhood." I'm really hoping "mommyhood" becomes the new pregnancy-related phrase for idiots. Sure, it's cheesy, but I'm really sick of hearing people say "baby bump."
She added, "I want to get it right."
Awesome. Let me use this opportunity to post Aguilera's Rolling Stone cover...
Ah, savor that flavor, it won't be available on the '08 menu. Congratulations, Christina.
