Molly — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 05:02:00 -0700

Christina Aguilera's much talked about Rock the Vote ad premiered yesterday and exactly as advertised it features her tender singing with a flag-swaddled Max in her arms. On Larry King Live last month, Christina talked about how her spot was inspired my Madonna's Rock the Vote ad from 1990, which has a decidedly different feel but the same ultimate message. Check them both out below and let us know - which Rock the Vote ad wins, new Christina Aguilera or vintage Madonna?

Christina Still Rocking the Vote and This Look

Molly — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:00:00 -0700

Christina Aguilera came out in LA last night to host a Rock the Vote party at the Esquire House Hollywood Hills. Jordan was on her arm, both with wine glass in hand, to pose on the red carpet though all Xtina seemed to be able to manage was a smirk. She was joined by partygoers including Kourtney and Kim Kardashian off her first week of Dancing with the Stars as well as Guitar Hero/Rock Band designers Aly and AJ. Christina caused some controversy earlier this year with her ad for the organization and it looks like she's ready to keep rocking the vote before the impending election day.

Christina Aguilera Rocks Larry King Live

PopSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:30:49 -0700

Christina Aguilera showed off those curves signing autographs for fans after leaving Larry King Live yesterday. She was there to chat about her involvement in Rock the Vote and urge young Americans to exercise their rights in the upcoming election. Christina opened up about her controversial ad with Max, how she was inspired by Madonna, and her own growing interest in politics. Things got a little awkward when Larry called Christina a soft singer, but she handled it gracefully and corrected him about her powerhouse vocal chords. Soon we'll be able to catch her on our small screens in the ad, singing "America the Beautiful" to a flag-swaddled Max.

Christina Aguilera Still Causing Controversy

Molly — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:01:00 -0700

Christina Aguilera celebrated Jordan's b-day in sweats leaving a party at a friend's yesterday. People have been talking about her weekend out in Vegas, but judging from that smile it's not getting under her skin. She told Access Hollywood, "I spend all day with my son and once in a while if I want to go out and have a mommy-daddy night with my husband, I am more than allowed to do that...They never air (footage) of the paparazzi actually pulling up beside my husband and being like, ‘When is she going to leave the house? I have been trying to get a picture of her for weeks.'" That's not the only controversy surrounding Xtina, people are all in a huff over her Rock the Vote ad in which her baby Max is swaddled in an American flag. These may be her mommy rather than drrrty days, but Xtina still knows how to keep people talking.

How Men vs. Women Vote on Celebrity Bikini Bodies

Molly — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:15:29 -0700

On Monday, we kicked off the 2009 PopSugar Bikini Body Bracket to narrow down 64 insanely hot celebrity ladies in swimsuits throughout the month of July and crown one winner. Virtually impossible, I know.

For the first two days of the bracket we watched you all vote and the closest margins were Reese Witherspoon vs. Sheryl Crow and Audrina Patridge vs. Katy Perry - those are some tough matchups. We also weren't surprised to see Pop favorites like Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears and Rihanna on their way easily to round two.

This morning our friends over at Sports Illustrated Hot Clicks sent over their readers and whoa, just like that everything changed! I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how our predominately female audience was voting versus how the male influx changed the tides. Remember, the voting on round one ends on Saturday at midnight so there's still time to vote here and of course, when you finish any round you are entered to win an iPhone!

To see how the men voted vs. how the women voted just read more.

Nicole Richie vs. Paris Hilton Our readers were all about Nicole, but after a few hours of testosterone-influenced voting, Paris Hilton has the lead.

Britney Spears vs. Heidi Montag Turns out, the guys aren't as turned off by Heidi as some of you all are. She's still trailing Brit by a bit, but Mrs. Pratt is closing in.

Kristen Bell vs. Sienna Miller The two blond beauties make a close matchup, but men can't seem to get enough of cute Kristen Bell who has taken the lead over Sienna.

Reese Witherspoon vs. Sheryl Crow Reese scored the number 2 spot on the PopSugar 100, but when the SI readers came to town they were all impressed with the crooner's rock hard abs as she scooted ahead of Reese.

Rihanna vs. Hayden Panettiere: Number one seed Rihanna was off to a quick lead, but barely-legal Hayden caught the eyes of the guys.

Favorites All Around... Leighton Meester, Bar Refaeli, Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Aniston are looking like shoo-ins right into the next round of the bikini bracket!

So what do you think about these generalized findings - interesting or predictable?

Ocean's Cast Rock the Vote

PopSugar — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 08:47:28 -0700

Hollywood continues to do its part to fight poverty and AIDS in Africa. Now a bunch of celebrities including Matt Damon, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Don Cheadle have all gotten together for a PSA to encourage people to vote. Check out the ad below and here's more about their latest cause:

The stars recently filmed a public service announcement that shows them patiently waiting their turn at a voting booth....But they're not promoting a candidate or political party. The ad is an effort to raise support for ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History.

"This is a first step in a long-term effort to start making the fight against global AIDS and extreme poverty part of the election conversation, and Americans can be part of that by joining ONE.org," Matt Damon says of the spot, which is slated to run through Nov. 7's Election Day.

"Saving lives in the world's poorest countries. Winning the fight against global AIDS and extreme poverty," Damon says in the spot. "There aren't two sides to these issues. There is only one. Please vote. ONE.org."

I can't remember the last time so many celebrities got behind a cause. What's next? A cover of "We Are The World?" It seems that it's a worthy enough cause to warrant a supergroup of popstars and an inspirational song.
