Christina Aguilera looks thinner than ever in fitted suit and kinky boots as she marks National Sex Day
Christina Aguilera showcased her slimmed down frame this week as she marked National Sex Day.
The 44-year-old singer — who has caught fans' attention with her physical transformation — joined Halle Berry and journalist Tamsen Fadal for a panel called Bare It All at Santa Monica Proper Hotel.
For the occasion, the Genie in a Bottle hitmaker wore a light brown skirt suit with black pantyhose and thigh-high black boots.
Her lengthy, platinum blonde locks were arranged in a center part and sultry waves that cascaded over her chest.
The mother-of-two added an understated diamond necklace and several rings while promoting her sexual wellness brand Playground.
Along with Christina's Playground, 58-year-old Halle's menopause care company Respin was highlighted.
Aguilera, who rose to fame with her powerhouse pipes in the early aughts, used Instagram to promote the event.
In a playful video, she touted her range of products — which includes vaginal serum and other lubricants.
She wrote in a caption to her 10.2 million followers, 'Happy 6/9! Today is National Sex Day, treat yourself to some @hello.playground. I know I will…'
The former Mickey Mouse Club star's drastically smaller frame has her followers speculating that she could be using a weight loss drug like Ozempic.
Despite the speculation, the blonde bombshell has not confirmed or denied any of the rumors.
Christina founded Playground alongside Catherine Magee and Sandy Vukovic, who serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product Officer respectively.
A description on the website reads: 'Playground is more than a sexual wellness company. We are a female-founded innovation company that approaches the unique needs of women differently.'
Following Monday's gathering, Fadal used social media to tease a recap.
She wrote along with an Instagram reel, 'On stage last night with @xtina and @halleberry talking about our favorite topics: women, sex and menopause.'
The How to Menopause author added, 'Educating women is never small work. It takes giant voices not afraid to #BareItAll. When women are informed, everything changes.'
Meanwhile, Oscar-winning actress Halle shared bits from the event with her nine million followers on Instagram as well.
She wrote in one Stories post that she 'got to chat all things women's health with @xtina @joyluxinc @hello.playground.'

'Tears on the horizon' at CNN as insiders reveal stars on the chopping block after parent company's shock split
Warner Bros. Discovery's shock split into two distinctive companies is a sign the jobs and hefty salaries of CNN 's top talent are on the line, media insiders warn. The media giant announced last week it will halve into two publicly traded entities — Streaming & Studios and Global Networks — by mid-2026. Streaming & Studios' domain will be Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO, and HBO Max. Global Networks, on the other hand, will be news focused, assuming CNN, TNT Sports and Discovery, among other programming. CEO David Zaslav will take on the leading role of the Streaming & Studios company, while CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels will become the President of Global Networks. This dramatic move could be detrimental to CNN, which is already grappling with plummeting ratings. 'Inevitably, Gunnar will look at CNN and decide he can maintain relatively similar profits at a mere fraction of the cost,' Dylan Byers, a former CNN reporter who now works for Puck, wrote in an opinion piece. 'This will have perceptible ramifications on the talent side. Why, for instance, would Gunnar pay Anderson Cooper $18 million a year when Kaitlan Collins draws the same ratings at roughly a fifth of the salary?' An anonymous source familiar with the state of the left-leaning news network spoke with Fox News, reiterating there are 'tears on the horizon.' They believe 'bean counter' Wiedenfels will go after high-salaried stars, going against the precedent set by former CNN boss Jeff Zucker, who was forced out before the 2022 merger. 'It's not just the overpriced talent. It's the overpriced producers. The overpriced executives. The superfluous reporters who barely are on the air,' the source said. 'All will either be exited or forced to take massive pay cuts.' Zucker was allegedly known for overpaying talent to keep them loyal to him, Fox reported. The result - CNN's first and second-tier talent now earn roughly five times what they are worth, the insider alleged. While Cooper earns an estimated $18 million every year, Jake Tapper, who hosts The Lead with Jake Tapper, brings in roughly $7 million a year. CNN veteran Wolf Blitzer's salary is about $15 million and Chris Wallace's is approximately $8 million. Collins earns about $3 million as a primetime anchor. In May, CNN had its second-worst month in its history in the essential 25 to 54-year-old age group in both daytime and primetime viewership, Fox reported. Since last year, the network ratings declined in all categories - and the matter may only get worse, experts believe. Over the upcoming year, Kagan, a research unit of S&P Global Market Intelligence, estimated CNN will lose subscribers and revenue despite the strategic split. Revenue is expected to plummet by $499.2 million, Variety reported. The insider source said the soon-to-be Global Networks CEO could slash CNN's costs by 50 to 60 percent with no impact on revenue or ratings. They believe Wiedenfels could 'start by making 70 percent cuts to all show teams for CNN US, bringing their staffing in line with that of their competition,' before slashing talent salaries. 'But it will be most devastating for the rank and file. With no union protections, there will be massive layoffs and those remaining will be asked to do the work of their departed colleagues,' they explained. Although no layoffs or budget cuts have been set in stone, uncertainty looms among CNN staffers. Byers told Fox he has 'received a deluge of text messages from addled employees at CNN' asking what the WBD split means for their futures. Despite skepticism, WBD higher-ups believe dividing into two companies is the best possible move. 'By operating as two distinct and optimized companies in the future, we are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today's evolving media landscape,' Zaslav said. Wiedenfels agreed this is a strategic move that will strength the 'specific financial profiles' of each company. 'At Global Networks, we will focus on further identifying innovative ways to work with distribution partners to create value for both linear and streaming viewers globally while maximizing our network assets and driving free cash flow,' he asserted.

My unexpected Pride icon: they were not cool, but bands like Mumford & Sons eased the turmoil of coming out
I am coming out again, this time as a lover of stomp and clap music. This will probably get me in trouble with my mother in a way that coming out as bisexual never did, because she believed that you should always be your authentic self, so long as you have good taste. Stomp clap music has often been the subject of much derision and a bit of a punchline. But despite the ridicule, I'm willing to defend my taste. The genre, sometimes referred to as stomp and holler or indie folk, peaked in the 2000s, with bands such as the Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men and, of course, Mumford & Sons – think a lot of guitars, banjos, the odd fiddle, literal stomping and clapping, with the occasional rousing 'hey!' in the background. It was largely associated with hipsters – the twirly moustached, braces and Henley-shirt-wearing kind – and with band members who all look like Sunday school preachers and youth pastors. I can't stand the aesthetic, but the music is undeniable. So how did a black queer woman – raised on jazz and soul – end up loving these bands? Mostly through a lot of late nights on Tumblr – the mainstay of any teenager figuring themselves out in the 2010s. I was obsessed with the Norwegian teen drama Skam and all its various iterations and adaptations. It's an obsession that led me to Tumblr, where there were tonnes of fan edits (short video tributes to the show's couples and characters), all set to an endless stream of stomp and clap such as the Lumineers' Ophelia or King and Lionheart by Of Monsters And Men. Though my music taste wasn't limited, it definitely wasn't cool (whatever that means). As my love for the genre grew, my friends, a small group of queer kids at a Catholic school, were very much live and let live with my choices – we were already on the outskirts anyway. It was never exactly something to bust out at a group sesh, though. I think the closest I could get was Ed Sheeran's Nancy Mulligan, which we could all agree was good 'straight white' music. Now 23, I am (nearly) past that phase, but at the time the music was always a comfort to me, as I wrestled with coming out. Against the joyful twang of the banjo, the music was melancholy, but never devastating – a contrast to the turmoil I felt inside. There was longing and regret and unrequited love, but also hope after heartbreak. Songs such as Cleopatra by the Lumineers spoke to the lifelong regret of not telling someone you love them out of fear. Others, such as The Night We Met by Lord Huron, portrayed the first intense heartache you feel after drifting out of a relationship, something that spoke to me as I drifted home, aged 16, after kissing a girl for the first time – not able yet to talk about it, music was my solace. My love for these bands (with the exception of Mumford & Sons, you know what you did) was as much about the self-discovery as it was the music. Growing up, I loved emo indie bands because my friends put me on to them, while jazz and soul were a part of my upbringing. My violin lessons are why you will find Beethoven next to Cowboy Carter on my playlists. But indie folk was all mine, music discovered in an online community almost as an antidote to the catholic guilt and self-loathing I was battling through. So for me stomp and clap was the soundtrack of my coming out and I'm willing to make the case for its inclusion on all Pride playlists this year. (Hear me out: fiddles at Pride!)

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown clears the air about her sexuality and reveals what she's looking for in a man
TLC's Sister Wives brought their 19th season to a close on Sunday with the fourth and final installment of their One-on-One special, where Janelle Brown opened up about her sexuality. Janelle, 56, was the the second to marry Kody Brown in 1993, following Meri tying the knot in 1990, and she was also the second to leave him in 2023, after Christine left in 2021. While only one of the Sister Wives remain we d to Kody - Robyn, who tied the knot in 2010 - they are all still a part of the show, though this year's "reunion" was instead a series of one-on-one interviews with Sukanya Krishnan. Janelle used part of her time to clear up speculation that she is 'asexual,' which she assured viewers is not the case. 'I promise you, I'm not asexual. Everybody has this idea just because I didn't want to have assembly line kisses with Kody or whatever, that I was asexual,' Janelle said. 'And the hormones are hell when you're single. But, you know, it's like, you just deal with it or whatever,' she added. 'I suspect that someday down the road, if there's somebody else, then that will be part of it,' she added. She added of the rumors, 'It's so wild to me that everybody has assumed. So, just trust that I am not. I am very... I'm a very sexual being. I'm a very Earth mama.' When asked if she would be part of a polygamous relationship again, Janelle added, 'I'm not gonna say no, but I just don't foresee that I'm gonna meet very many people who live plural marriage these days.' When asked if she would be open to a monogamous relationship, she said, 'Maybe, but I'm definitely not gonna be dating on those weird apps.' Host Sukanya Krishnan asked Janelle to describe the kind of man she is looking for, as she responded, 'Someone who's very solid, who knows who they are.' She added that she doesn't want someone who is, 'super flashy,' adding, 'I'm kind of done with flashy.' Janelle welcomed six children with Kody - Hunter, Madison, Logan, Gabriel, Savanah and the late Garrison, adding she has had an interesting experience watching her daughters with their husbands. 'You know, it's interesting. I watch my children, our children with their husbands, and I'm like, "Wow, that's a really different experience,"' she said. 'I suspect that someday down the road, if there's somebody else, then that will be part of it,' she added. 'They're very engaged with each other and so, I don't know, I guess I'm just like, "Huh, maybe I want something a little bit more like that,' she admitted. Krishnan said near the end of the special that it was her hope that they could get everybody on a couch together at some point. 'Yeah, maybe. I'd really like that. I actually... that could happen. That'd be very interesting,' she said.
