She looks SO much better this way!
Christina Aguilera usually has pounds of makeup on, but she stripped it all off to go fresh faced on the cover of the latest Paper magazine. The singer showed off her pale complexion and freckles, and she's such a natural beauty that it's a shame she always cakes on the cosmetics.
"I mean, I’m a girl that likes a beat face. Let’s not get it twisted. I’ve always been someone that obviously loves to experiment, loves theatrics, loves to create a story line and play a character in a video or through stage. I’m a performer, that’s who I am by nature. But I’m at the place, even musically, where it’s a liberating feeling to be able to strip it all back and appreciate who you are and your raw beauty," she explained in the interview.
So what lessons does she hope to pass down to her daughter?
"I don’t want to inject too much upon her as to how I’m choosing to live my life and what I’ve done in my career. I just hope I can allow what I’m doing to influence her to be her own person. That’s truly what I hope for her. I really want to make sure my children are both very confident in the sense that they know who they are and that they won’t be easily swayed by outside opinion," she revealed.

She's not letting heartache slow her down.
Gigi Hadid hopped a flight to Paris out of LAX yesterday, and the supermodel looked every inch the chic traveler in a tan sweatsuit and jean jacket. We still can't believe she and Zayn Malik are dunzo, but it sounds like it's unlikely they'll get back together.
So what was the real reason the British heartthrob and the catwalker called it quits?
"Zayn was always more introverted than socialite Gigi, who had a wide circle of friends and loved being out on the showbiz scene. He didn’t get on that well with her showbiz friends and that become a bone of contention," a source told Closer magazine.
"Zayn was the one to end things following a string of heated rows, leaving her heartbroken - even though she knew, deep down, it was the right decision," the source added.
Rumor has it she has been secretly exchanging flirty texts with Lewis Hamilton, but we've yet to see any evidence that they're actually hooking up!
Sofia Richie is head over heels for boyfriend Scott Disick, which she evidenced by calling him "my heart" on a recent Instagram post. The two posed in front of their private jet before taking off for vacation, and we're wondering who picks up the tab for their travels? Her modeling gigs aren't exactly lucrative, and we're pretty sure LD's club appearances wouldn't cover it, so it looks like her dad Lionel's credit card is getting a lot of use!
They want us to think they have the picture perfect relationship, but it sounds like there might be more going on behind the scenes!
"Both Sofia and Scott have fast tempers, and they can have pretty explosive fights, frequently. It seems every week they split-up and then meet to discuss things and end up having make-up sex and before they know it, they’re back together again. It definitely isn’t the healthiest of relationships, and it’s very drama-fueled and high school like,†a source dished to Hollywood Life.
"Sofia, obviously, hasn’t got as much relationship experience as Scott, but they are still very similar in how they communicate with each other—usually they don’t raise or discuss an issue until it gets to the point of really pissing them off, and then it inevitably turns into a heated fight. Their relationship is a little co-dependent and definitely pretty toxic, but neither of them has ever really had a healthy, well-functioning one, so it’s hardly surprising. At least Sofia has the excuse of only being 19, but at 34-years old, you would think Scott would have managed to check all his baggage by now. But he still acts like a big spoiled baby a lot of the time," the source added.
If they make it through 2018 as a couple we'd be shocked!

Gotta keep busy!
Selena Gomez spent yesterday afternoon taking a friend's son ice skating, and it had to have brought back memories of cheering Justin Bieber on from the stands at his hockey games. Those times seem to be a thing of the past, as they're all but broken up now. When reports first surfaced, it sounded like they were just taking some space to figure out their relationship, but that was before he ran off and hooked up with model Baskin Champion!
SG hasn't exactly been sitting at home and crying about it, though! She recently took a church trip to Australia with pals, and when she got back, she participated in the March for our Lives protest.
The "Come & Get" songstress is slowly adjusting to the idea that being with JB probably isn't the best idea for her mental and physical health.
A source tells X17:
"Selena will always love Justin, but she just can't do it anymore. She doesn't want a relationship with so many issues and so much baggage. She wants to start fresh with someone, and is looking towards the future. No matter how much they try to make it work, Selena and Justin have had too much stuff happen in the past that they just can't get beyond. Her trust issues after all his past behavior and his selfishness are real problems that won't just go away."

He's a mess!
Sean Penn smoked cigarettes and admitted to being on the prescription sleep-aid Ambien last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and his behavior was just downright bizarre.
"I’m doing well. You’ve inherited a little of the Ambien I had to take to get to sleep after a red-eye last night," he told the late night host.
"Please don’t smoke anymore. I don’t mind. My parents smoked when I was a child so it gives me happy memories to smell cigarette smoke but you know we want you to be around for a long time and those things are bad for you,†Colbert told him after he proceeded to light another cancer stick on stage.
Talk turned to the March for our Lives protest and the survivors of the Parkland shooting, and the actor voiced his praise for the kids leading the movement.
"Within days of that not only are they stating their case with incredible sobriety and articulate words but in such an inclusionary way. You feel like there are reasonable people who have been on the other side of this conversation who will listen to these kids,†he explained.
While he was out of it would have been the perfect time to ask about rumored new love interest Amber Heard!

Having multiple lady loves isn't easy!
Justin Bieber has been hitting the gym daily since his romance with Selena Gomez got put on pause, and we have a feeling he's trying to cope with his emotions in a healthy way, rather than running out and hooking up with a bunch of chicks! Granted, he did take model Baskin Champion home for a sleepover last week, but nobody's perfect...
Biebs worked up a sweat at SoulCycle early on Monday morning -- trying to get in a good workout before the rest of LA was awake. So he was surprised when we spotted him crossing the street. He threw on his hoodie and made a run for it!
The "Come & Get It" songstress is back in town after her church trip to Australia, but she hasn't exactly gone skipping back into JB's loving arms. When she left for her vacay, sources say she was optimistic about their future, but that all changed when she saw paparazzi photos of him and Baskin.
A source tells X17:
"Selena's had it. She had almost bought his whole "changed man" thing when she caught wind of his hookup with Baskin. This was the confirmation she needed to finally move on. She realizes that no matter how many times she forgives him, they are always going to have issues, and it's not worth it to her. Her health is her main priority, and she can't have a volatile personal life any longer."
The Biebs really blew it! And so why, after hooking up with Baskin the other day is he now out with ANOTHER beautiful blonde for early-morning coffee after his workout???!!!
Kim Kardashian put her perfect body on display in a black one piece in the promo shots for her KKW X Mario makeup collection, and while it does make us want to buy her cosmetics, it also makes us want to work out and get laser hair removal!
Her trusty longtime makeup artist shared the story of how they met on Instagram, and he's lucky he followed his gut instinct and stuck by her all these years, because now he's cashing in on their partnership.
"10 years ago, on April 5th, 2008 I met @kimkardashian on a cover shoot. I almost didn’t take the job because I had to work at Fox that afternoon where I did makeup for the anchors on the weekends for extra $. At this point I had been a makeup artist for 8 years in NYC, honing my craft, building my portfolio and paying my dues. Retail, weddings, editorial, TV, personal clients, assisting. I began working with some singers and actresses around this time & then I met Kim and began to work with her often. The idea of a reality star at the time was new. After all my years paying dues and assisting some of the big fashion and celeb makeup greats, I was being groomed to begin working with A list stars- actresses & recording artists. I had an agent who demanded that I stop working with Kim immediately," he wrote.
"They said I would ruin my career and my career would end within a year or 2. That all of my hard work and struggles until then would be for nothing. Was I going to sit and worry about what the elitist industry would think of me and try to fit into their mold? I refused. I chose to stick with Kim because it felt right in my heart. She was hard working, loyal and sweet. She kept me insanely busy. She appreciated me and my artistry and I had too much respect for her. When I parted ways with my agency, one of the last things they said to me was “good luck, Mario because you will never get a Vogue cover working with her,†he continued.
"Never let anyone dictate the trajectory of your life and career. The past decade with Kim has been incredible. We’ve grown together, set trends, inspired and impacted an industry along the way. Through all her milestones and achievements and through her rise to global superstardom she has taken me along the way and impacted my life greatly, helping me to achieve unparalleled success of my own as a celebrity makeup artist. I am so excited to finally announce that on April 5, 2018 - exactly 10 years to the day we met, our #KKWxMARIO collaboration with @kkwbeauty will launch!" he concluded.
Khloe just shared another bare belly shot from a recent pregnancy photoshoot with Tristan Thompson, and she's done a pretty impressive job documenting every last moment before her baby girl arrives!
The Revenge Body star is nesting in Cleveland as her due date approaches, and her famous family isn't thrilled about the idea of her relocating the Midwest permanently.
“It came down to a straight choice of him or them. For now, he’s getting his way, and she’s maintaining she does love their other life in Ohio," a source dished to Radar.
In fact, the reality star is reportedly even considering quitting Keeping Up with the Kardashians to give her little one a more adjusted upbringing.
"She wants her child to have a normal life. Khloe doesn’t want to do it after the baby comes, and Tristan is telling her that she doesn’t need to. He insists that they have more than enough money to live comfortably,†the source added.
