on the racks: christina aguilera does maxim

If you told me Xtina was posing in Maxim a year ago, I would have cringed a little and said something along the lines of "we see more than enough of her on "The Voice." But now, she's looking damn good.

Welcome her to the cover of the October issue.

She's showing off what looks good and hiding her "trouble spots," as every woman should learn how to do... even though I think she has very few trouble spots these days.

Seriously, I love this! She's not the skinny little girl she used to be, but her body's gorgeous! She's a woman now, not a teen pop princess. 

Also love: Her quote about being sexy. 

"I'm such a down-to-earth girl, I'm comfortable in just a jersey and boy's underwear. Trying too hard to be sexy is the worst thing you can do. Sexiness should be effortless." 

And when they asked her about Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling back in the day:

"They were both very charismatic, but I think I have to shy away from the question. I don't want this to bite me in the butt later. They were tight, you know. They'd walk around together all the time, same as me and Britney [Spears] would. Now look at us. It's funny how that played out."

Are you saying you guys still can't be friends, Xtina?! Come onnn.......

There's plenty more sexy and fun in the article, out in a week or so.

PS If you haven't heard her latest song, you should. I'm kinda in love with it.

watch: justin timberlake, ryan gosling, and jc chasez sing "cry for you"

In case you've been all MIA or something, every night at 7:00 I play an old school song and accompany it with some fascinating info from the 90s.

Today's share: This video of JT, JC, and RGos [AKA the Mickey Mouse Club] singing a song about crying for you.


Goodness there are so many things wrong with this video, which I guess makes it so right.

• Those OUTFITS! They look like a 60 year old gospel group or something. 
• They're singing about crying for me. I didn't listen to all the lyrics, but if any dude cries for me, I normally don't find it that hott.
• Ryan Gosling's singing voice. I'm glad you discovered more acting, boo. 
• The token black guy. At first I thought it was perfect and that more boy bands should have jumped on that idea, but I was lying to myself. He's on a different level than the whiteys. 
• And of course, Justin's hair... but we've been over that. 

I wonder if they could bring back a Mickey Mouse Club and make it work nowadays like some other 90s stuff....

....who am I kidding. All of Disney Channel's shows are individual MMC's.

watch: young justin timberlake and ryan gosling talk explosions with xscape

Get ready to have a memory orgasm with this clip. Little JT and R-Gos, sportin' the hottest 90s fashions like overalls and side parts, run into Xscape backstage. Obviously they talk about what any teen would talk about: terrorists, explosions, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


Just LOOK at that screenshot! Those curls! The stripes! And obviously Ryan Gosling being completely unimpressed that he wouldn't be the Sexiest Man Alive in the future.

I almost lost it when Justin gets all excited and they're practically doing choreographed dances while screaming BOOM!

Time to watch it again... and then the ENTIRE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB CHANNEL on YouTube!

Yeah, your day just ran away. It'll all be dedicated to these.

love,
