Aguilera back on top

Christina Aguilera has landed back on top of the US album charts for the first time since 1999.

The singer's new double album, Back To Basics, debuted at the top of the new chart with 342,000 copies sold in its first week.

That mirrors the album's success in several other territories, including Britain, where it crashed in at number one on Sunday.

Christina Aguilera fears heart attack?

Christina Aguilera has given up junk food -- allegedly because she is paranoid she will have a heart attack.

The 'Dirrty' singer is a self-confessed junk food addict, but insists she only eats it very rarely she is too worried about the health implications of munching on it.

She told Britain's TV Hits magazine: "I am a junk food lover but I've had to curb that quite a bit since I'm not a teenager any more. I think it's important to take care of yourself, especially as a woman. Mostly I think it's really about curbing that so you don't get heart disease or cancer or anything like that."

Aguilera, who is married to music executive Jordan Bratman, puts herself through a gruelling exercise regime and sticks to a reasonably strict diet to make sure she doesn't get fat.

She added: "I'm just trying to take care of myself, trying to get as much rest as possible, exercising every day and being healthy and getting my beauty sleep. I do a lot of weight training and some cardio -- I like feeling strong."

Christina Aguilera's missing nipple ring

Christina Aguilera has had her nipple piercing removed -- reportedly out of respect for her husband and contrary to her earlier statements that she wouldn't change for marriage.

The 'Dirrty' singer -- who at one time boasted multiple piercings, including ones on her, uh, snatch, -- once vowed she would always keep her nipple ring "for herself".

But recent pictures of Aguilera dressed in a see-through top showed no sign of the ring (click the photo at right to do your own inspection). It's rumored that the 25-year-old singer got it removed for her music executive husband, Jordan Bratman.

A source said: "Now she's married, Christina has decided to remove her right nipple ring -- the last of what used to be 12 piercings."

Aguilera once claimed that she would not tone down her raunchy image just because she had gotten married.

"Being sexual is a huge part of my artistry and who I am as a woman. When I am sexual in my lyrics or videos, it's because I am being honest. I'm in favour of any woman being proud of her body."
