Christina Aguilera Collaborates With Fans In New 'Let There Be Love' Music Video

Ok, Queen Xtina is busy and we get that. But is it acceptable for her to release a music video using video montage of her fans? Well, of course yes!, especially if this is a chance for her to thank people who placed her on the pedestal she is on right now.

Some of the fans got a shot on less than 30 seconds of fame. This is yet another simple and pure way to both excite fans, promote music and show the world that having a busy schedule is not reason enough for us not to be creative. So, whatever the haters say, scoot off.

Watch Christina Aguilera thank her very supportive fans in Let There Be Love music video (a.k.a. home video).

Let There Be Love is the sixth track on Christina Aguilera's seventh studio album, Lotus. Honestly, this one of her songs that she is not over-singing and belching, and my already broken eardrums is happy for that, same with the critics who positively reviewed this nice song.

Did you spot Nicole Richie, Matthew Rutler, Max Liron Bratman, Christina Milian and Chris Mann as they made some cameo appearances on the video?

From Screen to Closet: Blockbuster Beach Looks from Summer 2013

There was no shortage of superheroes or sequels at the box office this summer. From body armor to bathing beauties, Hollywood offered some electrifying eye candy to inspire your beach attire. Here are some of the top looks from this summer’s silver screen hits:

Superhero Chic: Go Metallic

With comic book heroes like Iron Man and Wolverine headlining this summer’s biggest blockbusters, you may feel the urge to find your own super suit.

Metallic is the way to go if you are looking to emulate the look of this summer’s superheroes. Metallic swimsuits can be found in all shapes, sizes and styles, and can be extremely flattering for all skin tones.

A swimsuit that is trimmed with a lot of metal hardware can add to the “utility” look of a suit – think Ursula Andress’ famous bikini look from “Dr. No,” or Halle Berry in “Die Another Day.”

Better yet, get the ultimate superhero look by combining metallic fabric and metal hardware. For example, a metallic monokini gets the superhero look just right. You’ll feel ready to fight the forces of evil when you slip into any number of these sexy swimsuits from Yumdrop — unless, of course, you can get Tony Stark to design your very own iron bikini.

Old Hollywood Glam

If “The Great Gatsby” made it to the top of your summer movie hit list, you probably like your beach time with a touch of the old Hollywood glamour.

Vintage-looking swimsuits have been popular for several years. From polka-dot bikinis to classic one-pieces, vintage-inspired swimsuits can be a great option for ladies looking for more coverage without sacrificing style. Vintage bathing suits were designed to cover more skin that the teeny-weeny bikinis you find on the beach today. Most vintage-inspired suits come in either solid colors our subtle prints, like polka dots, and feature feminine touches, such as skirts or ruffles. A nice way to pair modern with vintage is to try a color-blocked swimsuit with a vintage cut. This black and white bikini achieves the cute look of vintage style without being overly conservative.

Vintage suits were made out of cumbersome materials like wool, and in the era of “The Great Gatsby,” swimsuits were known to cover a woman all the way to the knee. So, unlike Daisy Buchanan, consider yourself lucky to be born post-sexual revolution, and during the era of nylon, Spandex and Lycra.

Get Animated — Again

The summer movie season always guarantees the release of two types of films: sequels and animated features. "The Smurfs 2," "Despicable Me 2" and "Monsters University" combined these two summertime staples to create a brand new genre — the animated sequel.

Be inspired by the brilliant hues of this kid-friendly fare. Neon is hotter than ever this year. Swimsuit designers are looking back to the oh-so-vibrant ‘90s for inspiration in today’s swimwear. Bright blue, pink and yellow are all popular this season. For example, check out this powerfully pink two-piece by Yumdrop.

Tired of only one look? Try this for a sequel — mix and match tops and bottoms for a completely different look. Neon colors pair well together and mixing and matching tops and bottoms is a great way to keep your look fresh summer after summer.

Watch The First Child Of God Teaser Trailer, Starring Scott Haze, And Written & Directed By James Franco

We rarely see James Franco behind the scenes of a movie production as a director, but for him to actually adapt a novel by Cormac McCarthy may be a little too ground-breaking. This is the fourth movie he has directed so far, and the previous one may prove to be too realistic for minor viewers and the other two too heavy drama for the overly sensitive.

Child of God is a heavy drama movie starring Scott Haze, Tim Blake Nelson, Jim Parrack and James Franco himself. The screenplay was written by James Franco as well, together with Vince Jolivette. James Franco is featured as the character named Jerry. What is that for a complete almost one-man show movie credit?

Watch the new teaser trailer of Child of God, starring Scott Haze, and written and directed by James Franco.

Synopsis

A dispossessed, violent man who's life is a disastrous attempt to exist outside the social order. Successively deprived of parents and homes and with few other ties, Ballard descends literally and figuratively to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation.

Child of God has premiered in Venice last August 31, 2013. International releases have not been disclosed yet.
