Christina Aguilera Goes Commando: I Don’t Wear Panties Because “It’s Empowering”
October 19, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Christina Aguilera is also on a press tour (so is everyone right now) promoting the album, Lotus, for which she’s basically naked on the cover and the single, Your Body, which is the same deal but with slightly more realistic Photoshop.
Aguilera explains away the nudity by saying her CGI body, or whoever’s body that is on the cover, isn’t really naked. “It’s very interesting,” she says, “because I don’t see that album cover as being nude at all. I actually feel very covered and it’s all about embracing white light and freedom, and I didn’t want it to be about too much fashion. I wanted it to be raw, real and free and a celebration of life and the woman I’ve become.”
She continues, telling People Magazine: “Some people are afraid of change and [feel] that getting older is a bad thing, but I really love maturing and gaining wisdom. And the experience of being pregnant and having a child and seeing what a woman’s body can do is amazing. I’ve always been one to make it very clear, love me or hate me, take it or leave it, this is who I am. I embrace my body and I embrace everything about myself. Coming full circle is a celebration of freedom and happiness because that’s what [my new album] Lotus is representing. I’m embracing everything that I’ve grown to be and learned to be.”
And then her anecdotes ran away with her, as they often do, when she admitted that she rarely wore panties. Which would explain the upskirt photos a few years ago where it looked like she hadn’t, um, shaved, while sitting and posing for her star presentation on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Christina Aguilera shared some… secrets during her October 18 appearance on E!’s Chelsea Lately.
The “Your Body” singer, 31, agreed to appear on the show if host Chelsea Handler, 37, promised to be pantless during their interview.
“I’ve heard all about the s**t Chelsea has talked about me not being a fan of wearing pants,” Aguilera explained. “So when they asked me to come on I thought, ‘I’ll do it, if Chelsea does one thing for me…”
Handler obliged, wearing fishnet stockings and hot pants during their chat. “You look hot,” Aguilera told the Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang author. “It’s a good look for you.”
During their sit-down, Aguilera also explained why she prefers to go commando.
“I don’t like to wear underwear,” the five-time Grammy Award winner said. “I like to be as free as possible at all times. It’s just who I am. It’s empowering,” she added. “It’s p**sy power!” – via Us Weekly Magazine.
