Before we get to the supersmelly mailbag, let’s star-sniff: Christina Aguilera has realized that singing and selling baby photos ain’t the only ways to make a buck in this consumerist nation, and C.A. has jumped on the celeb-scent bandwagon, god bless her. Most important thing we need right now is another familiar face slapped on a fragrance. Yawningly called “Inspire”—c’mon, Chrissy, we expected something a little bit more daring from ya—at least she’s pulling the butch-femme thing by utilizing both tuberose and musk. Also, the ad campaign was shot by famed music vid director and H’wood photographer David LaChapelle.

Funny, last we heard, there was some sniping from the LaChapelle camp that the visionary was less than impressed with the diva while working on set of her “Dirrty” music vid. But really, did anybody then like assless-chaps Xtina? Guess he got over his gripes with Aguilera and they pecked cheeks and made up. Wonder if it had to do with ‘Tina turning from a pierced rebel to a subdued soul-singin’ siren whose style’s far subtler. And that’s saying a lot, considering the singer was spotted at a restaurant reapplying her bright lip gloss after every damn bite. Hope she’s not planning to pull those tacky chaps out of the drawer once she drops all her baby weight.
