The Legend Thread: Christina Aguilera
YOUNGSTOWN — The government says large quantities of heroin and cocaine came from New York, Texas and Philadelphia for distribution in the Youngstown-Campbell area.
The drug dealers used code on cell phones, referring to cocaine as pop singer Christina Aguilera, the government said.
Court papers show that, in one taped phone conversation, an unidentified man said he needed "at least a number" (a price for the drugs) and Ismael "Chico" Camacho III asked, "Which you talking about, the white b----, Christina Aguilera?" and got the response "Yes, sir."
Camacho then said: "Probably like, she's probably like 28 or 29," meaning $28,000 or $29,000 for a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of cocaine, the government said.

Christina Aguilera is crowned with the top grossing female tour of the year!
The Police reunion trek led all tours in 2007 with a gross that has passed $212 million and is still climbing. The global tour few thought would ever happen moved more than 1.8 million tickets, according to Billboard Boxscore, prior to the Boxscore cutoff date of Nov. 13.
The Police tour was produced by TNA International and RZO Productions, and played stadiums, arenas and festivals.
Another heavy-hitting international arena/stadium outing was Genesis' Turn It on Again tour, produced by Michael Cohl's CPI. Selling out stadiums in Europe and arenas in the United States, Genesis' 46 shows grossed $129 million.
Third for the year was Justin Timberlake's FutureSex LoveShow tour, promoted primarily by AEG Live, which took in $126.8 million and drew more than 1.6 million people worldwide.
The top 10 is rounded out by Kenny Chesney ($71.2 million), Rod Stewart ($70 million), Cirque Du Soleil's Delirium ($59.4 million), Roger Waters ($53.2 million), Tim McGraw/Faith Hill ($52.3 million), Christina Aguilera ($48.1 million) and Rascal Flatts ($41.6 million).
Prince's 21 sellouts at the O2 in London was the top Boxscore at more than $22 million. Madison Square Garden in New York was once again the top-grossing arena in the world at $76.6 million in box office, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver was the top amphitheater at $18.6 million.
Overall, North American concert dollars and attendance are down double digits this year, after a record year in 2006 with the Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, Barbra Streisand and other big ticket tours on the road. North American gross concert dollars for 2007 are down 10.2% to $2.6 billion, and concert attendance is down 19.2% to 51 million.
"Yes, a 19.2% decrease in attendance is very disturbing, since it reflects that the consumers are not really supporting breaking and mid-level talent," AEG Live president/ CEO Randy Phillips says. "If this trend continues, who will be the headliners of tomorrow?"
For industry-leading Live Nation, 2007 "was a lighter touring year than 2006," according to Jason Garner, president of North American Music. "We saw fewer artists on the road, especially in our global touring unit. We had some great artists out; there were just less of them than past years."

Check out Christina's first confirmed track for her next album!!
In a very recent interview with DJ Premier, producer of a number of tracks on Back to Basics:
Is it true you're working on Christina's next album?
I'm working with Christina again. She's taking some time off right now, but I just gave her a track for Aretha Franklin's Duets album. But she just couldn't finish it in time for Aretha's schedule, so she said she's gonna keep it for her own next album.
Did you miss the groundbreaking interview about Christina's grammy nominations, new album, and baby on the way? CHECK IT OUT
We now have some information via Briterz & Christina VIP from LiveDaily about Christina's next project!
FYI, Briterz & Christina VIP work for our girl.
Question: Are there any mumblings about her new album? I'm not asking when it's coming out or anything, just wondering if Christina has a concept in her mind and has begun the writing process?
Answer:
There are many concepts in mind and I think she is leaning toward a certain one. She's been in the writing process since the tour
Next album - Christina has some ideas in which direction to go with her next record. It won't be so 'themed' as B2B was so when I say she has a concept in mind, don't freak out Who knows when the bulk of the recording will happen and I don't feel comfortable giving out an estimated date because it's all up in the air at the moment. Christina currently wants to just focus on becoming a mommy and she plans on taking care of herself and the baby for at least the first couple months. Who knows what she will decide after that. She knows that you all as fans want new things though. We just need to give her some time to be with her family
We also know specifically why the B2B concert DVD was pushed back to next year.
Question: Do you know why the DVD is delayed? besides the whole "Christina is a perfectionist thing", what is it that she doesn't like?
Answer: Let's just say things werent to the best of quality as they could have been. I'm not talking about video quality, but just quality in general. It was very poorly put together.I don't mean bad quality concert wise..The concert was great..but the way they put the DVD together was bad.
Answer 2: With the DVD the thing is it was a rush production, and yes I am sure it was in hopes to get it out before the holidays season. However, like Brit said Christina doesn't just let a half a$$ed product get sold to her fans. Yes, I understand it is frustrating that you have to wait, but all good things come in time. I'm sure it will be worth it
Don't worry it will be released!
Question: What did she think about her Grammy nominations? And does she know if she'll be up to attending in February? Is there any performance in the works for Steppin' Out or Candyman?
Answer: Christina is very happy with her nominations, especially the Candyman one. Her attending the awards is not known yet. It depends on how mommyhood is going and how she is feeling. She does want to go though
Question: Any news about the spanish album?
Answer: Don't get your hopes up on a Spanish album. I am not saying that it's never going to happen, but I can tell you it won't be for a while.
Question: Why hasn't Christina been promoting the singles after Candyman?
Answer: A lot of the lack of promotion I'm sure comes down to the fact that shes having a baby. Thats the number one priority right now. As far as why SDB was released in certain countries only, I'm not sure if there was strategy behind that or not.
Question: What happened to the duet with Aretha Franklin?
Answer: Sad to say this, but no a duet with Christina and Aretha will not be featured on either of Aretha's latest releases.
Question: Is the Back to Basics era over?
Answer: The B2B era is over. Which it was supposed to be a longer era but she surprisingly got pregnant. So I don't think a club tour for this album will happen. Maybe next album?
As far as direction for the next era, that is all to come in time. It all comes down to the songs Christina writes, the direction in which the album seems to go, and the things that inspire her at that time. I don't think she ever plans a certain direction and goes from there, it's all just develops and in the end comes together.
Question: Are there any magazine covers or photoshoots that have gotten cancelled?
Answer: I only know of one photoshoot that was done that was never seen by pretty much anyone. She actually did it with Madonna, but for some reason it was killed by publicity and has never seen the light of day. Anything else are just outtakes from shoots that we have seen.
Question: What does Christina think of being called Legend by her fans?
Answer: LOL I knew this question was going to come up sooner or later. Her and Shelly both think it's funny. The nickname is as funny to her as the whole Lance scandal was
lmao, legend
