Ellen: Today, with us is one of the biggest acts in music right now. With her first single of her new record hitting the top 20 in it's opening week and expected to go higher, an album on the way, and a lot of projects lined up for her. Please, welcome Miss Natalia Kills.

Ellen: Ahhh, Natalia, it's so nice to finally meet you.
Natalia: You too Ellen! It's a pleasure, I've always been a really big fan of yours.
Ellen: So You're Single "War, Lies, Love, Money" is doing really well. How has all this success affected you?
Natalia: Well Ellen, there are the days when it's great and the days when it's tough and honestly, sometimes it gets scary and annoying but I'm doing what I love so it's all worth it.
Ellen: I Understand That You Have To Make Some Announcements Today, so I'll leave the floor open to you.
Natalia: Thank You.
For some time now, I've been working on my sophomore album after "Run" didn't do as well and I had to change labels. I take this as my first record because this shows where I'm at right now. If you have been following me, you would know that I have been promoting this album and teasing this album but you all have never seen the cover art or even known the name of the record. Today, I want to unveil the cover art and title of the album
**AUDIENCE ROARS APPLAUSE**
Also, the album will be up for pre-order right after the show and when you pre-order it, you'll get an instant download of "War, Lies, Love, Money" and a new song "Stop Me".
Ellen: AMAZING! That's great Natalia and it's nice to have had you here with us and share such great news. Everybody in the audience gets a copy of Natalia's single "War, Lies, Love, Money".

AGUILERA | PUBLISHING DEAL
Aguilera's team have revealed that Christina has being signed onto a publishing deal with HarperCollins Publishers LLC. The contract's length is for only six months, however, there is room for its duration to be tweaked or necessary changes being made. Just like the Dior officials, HarperCollins may or may not decide to extend their arrangements with Aguilera. In addition, Aguilera would have to be willing to make such a decision to continue on longer with HarperCollins.
It is not yet confirmed as to what kind of books Christina shall be releasing but a tell-all autobiography is definitely in the works and drafting process, according to many reliable sources. There are various biographical installments on Aguilera's life although they're mainly written and compiled by ghost writers or separate from Aguilera's worth ethic, something to that extent. This publishing deal with HarperCollins Publishers LLC shall entail Christina's first outlandish and official venture into the timeless industry of all literature. Time will prove whether this investment was a smart one. We don't doubt Christina's inept business mind, however.
Aguilera has previously expressed her passionate interest in such works of literature and even admitted that English was one of her fave subjects at school. She's shown much determination and experience with how she writes, not only in Christina's amazing songs, but also how she conducts in speaking to people. We believe that this will be extremely beneficial for both parties - HarperCollins and Aguilera herself - so we cannot wait to witness what's in store for us in the upcoming few months. Be sure to watch this space for more Xtina news!

Christina Aguilera performs on Queen Latifah
This morning, Christina Aguilera visited our studios in order to perform her lead single "Nighthawks" which is off of her upcoming 8th studio album - "Pandora's Box". She had previously visited us for a thorough interview, however, didn't perform. This time Christina shared with us a special musical treat and it was gladly received. Not to worry! Nevertheless, Christina did mention that she would come back soon so it won't be long before we get our regular Xtina fix.
The Aguilerian songstress riffed her way through a blues-y rendition of "Nighthawks" with a rock-infused twist and it sounded amazing. She mystified the audience with her inner and outer beauty as they swayed to the beat. Christina wore a light, breezy, cream ensemble with flowing curly locks and her makeup was ON POINT. She topped it all off with a few ravishing accessories from Tiffany & Co., and little Ugg boots that came up to her knees.
Aguilera's lead single "Nighthawks" is now available for purchase.

Kesha on Jimmy Fallon
'Beautiful Mess'-singer Kesha has made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as part of her promotional tour for her latest single. The 27-year old performed her single 'Beautiful Mess' and competed in a lipsync battle with Jimmy himself.
Kesha on Jimmy Fallon
Kesha sat down with Jimmy to talk about her life, rehab and of course her upcoming new album.
Kesha revealed that her rehab had been a real struggle for her. Kesha's body has always been her biggest insecurity, but it got worse because of Dr. Luke, who accused her of being fat and looking like a refridgerator. The doctor said it was a miracle she survived this long and she was checked into rehab immediately. Kesha received big support form her mum Pebe, who checked into the same rehab facility to be with her, and her closest friends. When asked about Josh Kesha says: "He's been so supportive of me and we've grown closer than ever during and after my rehab. He really is the sweetest person I've ever met." Kesha could neither confirm or deny an alleged relationship between the pair.
On upcoming music Kesha told us the following. "My second single is coming really soon and is featuring a female rapper who I adore. I can't tell you who it is just yet, but I'm sure you'll love the song as it's something different from what I've done before. That's all I can say about it. We're shooting the video for it real soon though!"
Kesha's album is yet to be named Kesha did have 3 possible names, which can not be mentioned. However the album is finished, with 3 collabs yet to be recorded. We are looking forward to the project, which is shaping up to be Kesha's best and most successful yet.
At the end of the show Kesha performed a flawless version of 'Beautiful Mess', the song that brought her another top 10 hit. The crowd went wild and Kesha received a standing ovation for her amazing vocals and ability to hypnotise an audience.
Kesha's new single, 'Beautiful Mess', is out now on Itunes, Amazon and physical copies are available at your local supermarket.

Mariah Carey on Google+ Hangout
Hyped for days, Mariah Carey and her team have been teasing and keeping a secret to when is the official date of her being on Google+ Hangout. Earlier today, Mariah Carey suddenly tweeted that she'll be on her Google+ Hangout minutes before she when on. The hashtag #mcgooglelive was trending worldwide during the duration of her being on her Google+ Hangout.
The hangout started with Mariah Cary being the studio, which is revealed to be Mariah's apartment in NYC. Mariah was wearing a Dolce and Gabbana inspired dark violet dress, a pair of tiny Swarovski diamond rings and a golden bangle, and is sitting on a black couch with a glass of sparkling champagne by her side. "Hi Lambs !!! I'm glad that I could be on, live with y'all today. The computer classes I've taken this past week has definitely paid off !!!", she laughs. "Anyway, welcome to my Google+ Hangout !!" Mariah then officially starts her interaction in her hangout.

Originally posted by Mariah Google+ Hangout
MC: This album really represents my darker side. It's hard to embrace my dark side and it took me years to start embracing it. So let us start with the first one.....
Libidinous Dream Well, this song was first written during my writing sessions with Miguel around the "#Beautiful" era, it was one of those very dark songs that didn't make the cut because it was too dark for Me I Am Mariah...... The Elusive Chanteuse album. It talks about wanting to make love with someone but in reality it is all but a dream, hence the title "Libidinous Dream".
Disguise This song is a representation of my anger and sorrows that I've kept within myself. 'Looking In' from the "Daydream" album only shows a part of my sorrows at the time, 'Disguise' actually shows all of my sorrows in my life.
Heartbreaker (Part II) ft. Nas Well, I've perform this song on the NBC Home Special, and my dark side wanted to make this song from her perspective and not mine, so that's how the part II came about.
It's Hard It was actually written during the "Charmbracelet" era, but the production of the song is reworked to make it sound modern. The song talks about the time of my downfall, after the "Glitter" era, a lot of people try to bring me down, hence it's hard to put out my artistry without people trying to put me down at that time because it was cool to hate me.
The Stygian Chevalier This song talks about being a dark knight killing other people just to protect the man she loves. I was inspired by Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" but I wanted a different title to avoid comparisons, hence I chose this title which becomes the album title too.
Bad Girls One of my favorites from Donna Summer !! After getting inspired by her during the MIAMTEC sessions, I heard "Bad Girls" and I felt it suited the theme of this album. Jermaine reworked the production for "Bad Girls" to make it more darker, but the original 'taste' is retained here.
Claim My Throne This was written about me dominating the charts worldwide as I claim my throne. It was inspired by my 90s eras and TEOM era too which made Bianca write a song about this.
Up In The Sky Up In The Sky is talking about wishing the perfect life you have, and your head is in the sky, before you return to reality that it will not happen. The production is interpolated from my own song "The Roof", which is interpolated from another song which I cannot remember its song title...
Peasants This song was written from Bianca. She wanted to have these "peasant" celebrities off the charts and so "Peasants" came about.
Nothing To Prove ft. Azealia Banks I've also performed this on the NBC TV Special too. So check it out and support Azealia's work too !!!
Rest In Peace This was during the moment when I fell down last year. I thought I was going to die due to the nerve damage and fractures pain. I wrote this song for the fans because I thought I was leaving this world soon. So "Rest In Peace" came about.
Mirror In The Dark A beautiful track I've written with Bianca !! This song talks about facing your dark side with bravery. The Mirror, which is the borderline, in the dark means that it'll surface somehow. Produced by me, this is my second favorite album track after "Disguise" and I hope it'll become a single in the future.
Bonus Tracks These songs actually is talking about how I got married to Nick in 2008 and settling down with the kids being introduced into my life. "I'm Not Done" is a song that talks about not giving up, and keep trying.

Christina Aguilera performs on DWTS
Last night, the Dancing With The Stars studios welcomed our fave "Eclectic" beauty Christina Aguilera to the dancefloor. It is the third time she has performed over here - the first being at the Season 11 finale in 2010 for "Show Me How You Burlesque" and "Beautiful". Even though they were both performed on the same day, they were still separate performances, however.
So anyways, Aguilera performed her lead single "Nighthawks" last night which will be included on her upcoming 8th studio album - "Pandora's Box". Aguilera's team has already revealed the album's tracklist and this era's shaping up to be such a great one. There are features with female rappers M.I.A. and Azealia Banks and a special duet with Hayley Williams of rock band Paramore. We simple cannot wait!
Christina was met with a roaring crowd as she riffed her way through neo-soul track "Nighthawks" and even choreographed a show-stopping dance routine, just for DWTS' own viewing pleasure. The judges even enjoyed the performance for once, a great feat in itself. Our fave blue-eyed Latina beauty looked absolutely stunning in a embezzled two-piece stringy ensemble. It's reminiscent of the similar look she wore in the actual video for "Nighthawks" itself. We thought that was a nice familiar touch and made sure everybody could relate. Seeing as though, the official music video for "Nighthawks" has already racked up a large proportion of views on Aguilera's official VEVO page ever since it was released publicly a few hours ago. Theoretical conspiracy enthusiasts have predicted that "Nighthawks" will most probably surpass Christina's universally-acclaimed smash hit buzz single "Eclectic" in a matter of days. The Aguilera reign just won't let up you guys!
In actual fact, Aguilera had been heavily rumoured as a potential contestant for many years and seasons of Dancing With The Stars. It's actually pretty difficult to think that Christina hasn't participated yet especially when taking into account how much her name is linked with the show, truth be told. However, Christina has hinted that she may consider being involved although nobody knows for sure. Just a few months ago, it was revealed that Aguilera first heard Say Something (her on-a-whim duet with AGBW who both experienced wide success) on So You Think You Can Dance?, it's clear that Christina enjoys dancing shows so maybe her possible contestant position isn't so out-of-this-world as we'd like to think it is. By the way, a solo version of Say Something shall also be included on Aguilera's upcoming record - "Pandora's Box".
Aguilera is actually an extremely influential figure in the world of dancing. If you may recall, a few years back during her Stripped days and "dirrty" phase, Xtina (as she was affectionately known then) had solidified her place in the dance industry with a little move called: The ****drop. It has been vastly parodied by many people, both famous and not, ever since it was seen in the blacklisted music video of lead single "Dirrty" in 2002.
Moreover, Christina has refined her on-par dancing skills when she played the leading role of musical "Burlesque" alongside legendary icon Cher in 2010. It was very physically-demanding, however, Aguilera's still grateful as ever towards the project due to the fact it helped her learn more about the technical side of dancing instead of just "feeling the groove".
Aguilera's lead single "Nighthawks" is now available for purchase.

BM: Well right now "Smile" and the EP are the main priority, but my label are definitely looking at a tour for the EP and releasing some more singles to promote it. But "Smile" is still going strong so that's out main focus for the immediate future.
JJ: Well when you do go on tour you can bet that I'll be in the front your. You're a fantastic live vocalist, I saw you on the Rising Star. Simply incredible!
