Interview on ELLEN
Ellen to Christina Aguilera: 'Are You Nursing?'
This week's PEOPLE cover subject Christina Aguilera is happy to chat about motherhood – every aspect of her new role, in fact. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show scheduled to air Wednesday, the talk-show host playfully asks the pop star – who sported a low-cut shirt – "You look great. One question: Are you nursing?"
A blushing Aguilera responded: "I guess it's a little obvious," and DeGeneres quipped back, "It's going to be a healthy baby boy." (Watch the clip here.)
Aguilera, 27, did not demure when talked turned to her son's Bris. "We are not a very conservative couple," she told DeGeneres. "For decorations we put up penis balloons all over the place. It was really fun, it was really great." A stunned Ellen replied: "Really, they have penis balloons in a shop ... you can just buy them?"

Christina Aguilera's new jewelry line! With a New Alfred Hitchcock inspired photoshoot!!
London jeweler Stephen Webster is introducing a new sterling silver collection inspired — and fronted — by his friend Christina Aguilera.
The new line, Stephen Webster Silver Collection, is made from sterling silver, 18-karat gold and gemstones such as jade, chalcedony, goldstone, hematite and white agate.
"We did it by demand — we've always had a younger following," said Webster. "It's our biggest launch ever, and a new direction for us."
The first collection, Shattered, will offer about 50 styles of rings, cuffs, pendants and earrings that feature gemstones inlaid into silver, an innovative technique that resembles enameling. The overall design is made to look like bits of broken stained glass from Gothic church windows.
Superstud is the second collection, and features about 40 styles. The inspiration is punk, and the collection is heavy on biker studs, said Webster.
Stephen Webster Silver Collection will launch in Switzerland at Baselworld early next month, and Neiman Marcus has the exclusive for spring. The line will sell at 15 doors, as well as Bergdorf Goodman.
Webster said in the future he will target key department stores, such as Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as independents.
The designer describes the new collection as a bridge line between fashion and fine jewelry, with price points that range from 175 pounds, or $343, for small earrings to 1,800 pounds, or $3,528, for a silver collar necklace.
The first ad campaign — featuring Aguilera — will break in the April issue of W, WWD's sister publication. "She was a real coup for us. She's our longest-term regular client and the right age for the brand," said Webster of the 27-year-old pop star. "We think she's in the most glamorous period of her life right now, and she is the main source of inspiration behind the collection."
The campaign was shot by Vincent Peters in a Los Angeles studio. The photos are in black-and-white and color, and the inspiration is Alfred Hitchcock. "I have always loved Hitchcock's films, and to be able to transport Christina and my jewelry into that classic setting was an amazing experience," Webster said.
Aguilera said: "Working together on this campaign and collection has been an incredible experience. I am honored to be a part of it all."
Webster said the new line is "just what I needed." He said it takes him back to his early days — 32 years ago — when he was working with semiprecious stones in London and California. "Big colored gems were cheaper then. But today, a tourmaline ring is $10,000! It's all become very serious. Now I can design what I want, and I'm more carefree because the price is something like $300," he said. "My team is young, and they're enjoying themselves. And this new line also runs more closely with fashion."

NAKED EVERYDAY: Kate Hudson says she takes after Christina Aguilera and walks around her house in the nude.
Kate Hudson loves walking round her house naked.
The 28-year-old actress says her mother Goldie Hawn and stepfather Kurt Russell brought her up to feel comfortable in her own skin and she finds shedding her clothes liberating.
She said: "My mother and father never gave a big deal about nudity in our house.
"I often walk around naked or just wearing panties."
The Almost Famous star - who has a four-year-old son Ryder with her rocker ex-husband Chris Robinson - also insists she has no qualms about stripping on screen.
She added to Fabric magazine: "Actors are all supposed to be emotionally naked anyway."
Kate is not the only star to enjoy baring all when at home.
Last year, Christina Aguilera revealed she and her husband Jordan Bratman spice up their marriage by getting naked every Sunday.
The 27-year-old singer confessed: "We have to be the cosiest couple around.
"We have something called naked Sundays. We just do everything in the house naked. It's important to keep the marriage alive, to spice it up a little."
