Added as well more pics of her shopping with Jordan and her father-in-law.

Also, I’ve replaced the pics of Christina leaving her hotel in NYC with Max on the other hand with HQ ones.

The petite, blond singer, visiting from Los Angeles, spent her Labor Day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with her husband, Jordan Bratman, and their baby son, Max Liron.

“It was his first museum experience. It was the last day they were showing their superhero exhibit. So I wanted to catch that, actually,” says Aguilera, 27.

Her son, says the proud mom, is nearly 8 months old. “He’s definitely crawling. He’s a mover and shaker. He’s moving all around. He’s just a smiley, happy guy. I really lucked out. He’s just amazing. He lights up my world. Mommy’s going to miss bedtime (tonight). He’s in good hands. Daddy’s around. It’s a big family trip.”

This one, though, is mostly work and little play for Aguilera. She spent her second day in Manhattan promoting her new fragrance, Inspire, with an appearance at the Macy’s store in Herald Square. She’s the latest entrant into the crowded celebrity-fragrance field, which already boasts bottles from the likes of Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Sarah Jessica Parker and Usher.

Aguilera, a self-described “girlie girl,” says the scent is a natural extension of herself. “I love makeup. I love playing around with different styles of hair, different elements of beauty. I love fragrance. I actually collect perfume bottles. I thought it would be really fun to create a fragrance, from the bottle design to the actual scent.”

Her No. 1 focus-group member? Bratman. “His opinion is really important to me because I really appreciate his taste. We just make such a good, solid team. I always involve him on all my projects. He’s my male perspective.”

Between raising her son and launching her fragrance, the singer is also recording an album, scheduled for release next year, full of “space sounds and futuristic things.” Her last disc, 2006’s Back to Basics, “was all about sort of going back in the past. For this one, we’re going into the future.”

It was the songstress’ first personal appearance for a fragrance and some 300 people lined up at the store Tuesday afternoon to have their bottles signed between 5 and 6 p.m.

“We had a very strong week at Herald Square,” said Donald Loftus, president and chief executive officer of Aguilera’s fragrance licensee, P&G Prestige Products Inc. “We had the biggest fragrance launch we’ve ever had there.” Loftus noted that Aguilera mobilized her huge fan base for the event. “She is incredibly talented, a delightful person and very gracious with the crowd,” he observed.

“It’s going to be very successful,” René Dominik, associate marketing director for lifestyle fragrances at P&G Prestige Products, said of Inspire. “A lot of customers were telling me they love the fragrance.”

Dominik noted that Aguilera had confirmed she will do a second personal appearance for the fragrance at Macy’s in Los Angeles in December.

P&G does not break out sales results, but industry sources estimate that Aguilera’s new fragrance generated about $50,000 in retail sales over the holiday weekend in the Herald Square flagship alone. Estimates were not available for the final tally at Tuesday’s appearance, but there was a sellout of 500 special $200 packs created for the event, according to sources.

Meanwhile, P&G was also launching its Dolce & Gabbana masterbrand, The One and The One for Men, in the Broadway side of the building.

Inspire, which is carried at about 1,000 doors — many of which are Macy’s with selected Dillard’s sprinkled in — is expected to remain in this distribution network until after the holidays, when it is to expand into wider distribution.

Plans call for Inspire to follow the distribution strategy used for a number of other companies’ celebrity scents and make its way into midtier retailers and eventually into mass market distribution in the next couple of years.
