Christina posed up a storm on the red carpet before joining producer Steve Antin.

Also at the starry event was Michael Marouli, Georgina Castle, Stewart F. Lane, Bonnie Comley, Matt Goss, Jess Folley, and Nick Collier.
Following a sold-out run in Manchester, Burlesque The Musical is now playing at the Savoy Theatre for a strictly limited season until 6 September 2025.
Christina swapped the spotlight for a seat in the stalls on Sunday 20 July, when she slipped into London's Savoy Theatre to watch a preview of Burlesque The Musical.
The musical reimagines the 2010 screen hit that first turned her into an on-screen star.
Christina previously displayed her thin appearance and sparked concern among fans who discussed rumours she might have undergone plastic surgery on her face to achieve her transformed appearance.
Her frame has also sparked rumours among fans who wondered if she may have turned to Ozempic-like drugs to help her impressive weight loss.
Despite the speculation among fans that she may have altered her appearance in some way, the Grammy-winning singer–songwriter has not addressed any of the rumours.
She was previously rumoured to have had a breast augmentation after displaying a scar under her arm — which is a common place for the surgical incision — in 2010.
Recently, Christina showed off her age-defying looks on the cover of the French magazine Carcy, which set rumours bubbling from fans who wondered if she had touched up her face.
In October of last year, multiple plastic surgeons who had not treated the songstress spoke to DailyMail.com about her seemingly transformed appearance, suggesting that she may have undergone a face lift to sculpt her cheekbones and smooth the natural lines between her nose and lips.
Other cosmetic surgeons have shared similar opinions about her new appearance on social media.
Although Christina has not directly responded to the claims, she recently said she no longer feels the need to 'give a f***' about the public scrutiny on her body.
Following the speculation, she has since commented on the years-long 'obsession' over her weight in an interview with Glamour from August.
'When you're a teenager, you have a very different body than when you're in your 20s,' she said.
'I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, "Oh, she's getting thicker." Then I had industry people: "They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager."'
However, as she has grown older, she revealed that she does not let comments about her weight affect her anymore.
'I have a maturity now where I just don't give a f*** about your opinion. I'm not going to take it on,' she stated.

The country couples are flocking to for a fast and easy wedding
A Polish-Colombian couple, Magdalena Kujawińska and Heinner Valenzuela, travelled to Copenhagen to marry, circumventing complex bureaucracy at home in Poland. Living in Krakow, the couple had been engaged for over three years but faced significant hurdles. "We realised that it's not that easy to get married in Poland," the 30-year-old Ms Kujawińska said, citing the requirement for a certificate proving they were not already married. A certificate, needed from Colombia, presented an insurmountable challenge due to its three-month validity. "We tried to get it from Colombia, but it's only valid for three months, and it couldn't get to Poland from Colombia in three months. It was just impossible for us," she added. Learning about Denmark 's relaxed marriage laws from a colleague, Ms Kujawińska and her fiancé engaged an online wedding planner. The process proved remarkably swift, with approval granted in just four days. "And in four days, we had the decision that the marriage could be done here," a smiling Ms Kujawińska recounted as they awaited their 10-minute ceremony at Copenhagen 's 19th-century City Hall. Copenhagen attracts couples from around the world Couples who don't live in Denmark, both mixed- and same-sex, are increasingly getting married in the Scandinavian country — prompting some to dub Copenhagen the ' Las Vegas of Europe.' The head of the marriage office at Copenhagen City Hall, Anita Okkels Birk Thomsen, said that about 8,000 wedding ceremonies were performed there last year. Of those, some 5,400 of them were for couples in which neither partner was a Danish resident. 'That's almost double what we saw five years ago,' she said. 'They come from all over the world.' City wants to ensure room for locals But the city sees a downside to that: demand for ceremonies at City Hall now far exceeds the number of slots available. Mia Nyegaard, the Copenhagen official in charge of culture and leisure, said in a statement to The Associated Press that the 'significant rise' in the number of foreign couples getting married in the capital 'poses challenges for Copenhagen-based couples wishing to get married.' Local authorities plan to take action. Nyegaard said about 40 percent of wedding slots available at City Hall will be reserved for Copenhagen residents starting from the end of October. While booking a slot there is the most obvious way to get married in the city, arranging a ceremony with a private registrar is also an option, and that won't be affected. Copenhagen lawmakers will look after the summer break at what else they can do to relieve overall pressure on wedding capacity in the city. Liberal laws Denmark's marriage laws are liberal in several ways. In 1989, the country became the world's first to allow the registration of same-sex civil unions. The legalisation of same-sex marriage followed in 2012. For unions of all kinds, Denmark — unlike many other European countries — doesn't require a birth certificate or proof of single status to obtain a certificate that grants the right to get married in Denmark within four months. Officials might, in cases where divorce papers don't show clearly that a divorce has been finalised, ask for a civil status certificate. Applications to Denmark's agency of family law cost 2,100 kroner ($326), and couples are issued with a certificate within five working days if they satisfy the requirements. Non-resident couples can travel to Denmark and get married with just a valid passport and, if required, a tourist visa. 'We get that thing like, 'Are you sure we do not need a birth certificate?' And we go, 'Yes,'' said Rasmus Clarck Sørensen, director of Getting Married in Denmark. Clarck Sørensen, a Dane, began the wedding planning business with his British wife back in 2014. 'In the last 20, 30 years, people just meet more across borders," he said. 'Marriage rules are often made for two people of the same country getting married.' 'They kind of piled on patches onto marriage law, and a lot of people get trapped in those patches,' he added. His online company's 'Complete Service' package, priced at 875 euros ($1,014), includes help gathering all the necessary documents, processing the certificate application and organising the date of the ceremony. The business says it helped over 2,600 couples last year. Copenhagen, easily Denmark's biggest city with the country's best transport links, is the most popular location and so far appears to be the only one struggling with demand. Any changes to the city's rules will come too late to bother newlyweds Kujawińska and Valenzuela, who are now busy planning a celebration in Poland with family and friends. 'It means a lot for us because we've been waiting a lot for this,' Kujawińska said. 'We're really happy.'

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson cozy up on The Naked Gun red carpet in New York City amid romance rumors
LIAM Neeson and Pamela Anderson have been seen cozying up to one another on the Naked Gun red carpet amid rampant romance rumors. Rumors are rife that the 73-year-old Oscar-nominated star of Schindler's List from Northern Ireland, and the 58-year-old former Baywatch babe are romantically involved. 6 6 The glamorous pair star in the new Naked Gun movie together, with Liam recently saying about Pamela: 'I'm madly in love with her.' And last night in New York, the pair stepped out for the premiere of the hit flick, which first hit screens in 1988, starring Leslie Nielsen. Held at the School for the Visual Arts theatre in the Big Apple, the leading actor and actress gazed at one another while standing together at the glitzy event. Pamela looked chic in a midnight blue gown that was modestly cut and sailed all the way down to the ground. She wore her blond locks in a sleek style and finished off her old Hollywood look with some lace gloves on her hands. Meanwhile, Liam wore a gray suit and white shirt, complete with a black belt and matching shoes. Looking dapper and smart, Liam gazed down as Pamela as the pair smiled sweetly at one another. The Naked Gun duo were even joined on the red carpet by their children. Pamela has two sons, Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee. Meanwhile, Liam has two sons, Micheál, 29, and Daniel, 28, with his late wife, actress Natasha Richardson, who sadly died in 2009. The couple, along with each of their two sons, were seen standing with one another as they all smiled. Reacting to the red carpet snaps and videos circulating social media, one person said on X, "I'm just obsessed with Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson!" Another gushed, "They are so cute. Hope they get together!" "I hope they fall for each other. They are two nice people who deserve a great love story," penned a third. I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy. Pamela Anderson on her bond with Liam Neeson "They would make a nice couple," swooned a fourth. A fifth then said, "They have a lot of chemistry." "They really nailed it with this pairing, damn," added a sixth, speaking of the Naked Gun movie casting. While a seventh person added, "I saw Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson interviewing each other and they are 100% in love,,, or if not then he's definitely in love with her." Earlier during the press tour for the comedy flick, the actress took snaps of the smartly suited actor's crotch, while he pretended to photograph her as she giggled on the floor. The off-screen chemistry went further with Liam planting a gentle kiss on the side of Pamela's head as he held her waist. Liam also joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun, which opens on August 1, was 'the sex scenes', which the pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator for. Liam added: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'.' Pamela is a five-times married former Playboy model, who has seemingly hinted that her on-screen love interest Liam will not be her next hubby. She commented of her co-star: 'I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.' She added: 'He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes.' 6 6 6
