Christina Aguilera's pop lesson

Christina Aguilera wants to show her son she is a "super-b***h".

The 'Dirrty' singer - who gave birth to her first child with husband Jordan Bratman in January - insists becoming a parent hasn't changed her attitude and she is looking forward to showing Max her feisty on stage persona.

She said: "I'm not going to go down the safe route because I have had a child. Motherhood hasn't changed me.

"It's like the line in my new single, 'Keeps Getting' Better', says, 'I'm still a super-b***h.'

"I want to be the best mom I can be but I also want to show my son who I am as a person, not just this woman who changes diapers and breast feeds."

Christina is set to play the Africa Rising Festival in London this week and is looking forward to unveiling her new baby-inspired live show.

She added: "This is my first concert since I had Max and I can't wait for everybody to see the full Christina show. It's an incredible balancing act being a mom.

"But he's the inspiration behind my new music, my new sound and even my new look.

"It's all about playfulness and having fun now."

Johnny Depp's Pirate bounty
Johnny Depp is to earn £32 million to appear in the fourth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film, the highest upfront payment in film history.

Johnny Depp is to earn £32 million for the fourth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film.

The staggering sum is the largest upfront payment in film history and will see Johnny, 45, move to the top of Hollywood's rich list - overtaking Will Smith - when he reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

A source said: "It's a hell of a lot of money for one movie but there's only one man who can play Captain Jack Sparrow - and that's Johnny Depp.

"Pirates just wouldn't be the same without him, so they were more than willing to smash the record books to land Depp again. He's been the star of the show every time."

Earlier this year, Will was named the highest earning actor in Hollywood by Forbes magazine after he grossed £40 million in one year.

However, Johnny's new deal will see his earnings soar to £72 million.

The source added: "He's laughing all the way to the bank. Not only is he probably the biggest heartthrob in Hollywood, he's now going to be the richest."

Johnny's co-stars in the first three films in the franchise, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, are unlikely to appear in the latest instalment.

Victoria Beckham's faeces facial Victoria Beckham has been having special facials containing nightingale droppings to give her clear skin.

Victoria Beckham uses bird faeces to keep her skin clear.

The former Spice Girl credits new £100 Geisha Facials, a paste made from nightingale droppings, for improving her acne prone complexion.

A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "When Victoria was in Japan recently she was admiring the local women's clear skin and discovered it was down to these facials.

"She was intrigued and when she got back to the US she found that some New York beauty salons now offer the treatment.

"She tried it and loved how great her skin looked. She also uses a cream derived from nightingale poo at home."

Meanwhile, Victoria is reportedly encouraging her close friend Katie Holmes to launch her own fragrance.

A source revealed: "Victoria has been very involved in her and David's fragrance, Signature, and is keen to extend her work in that field.

"Victoria believes Katie would be an ideal candidate for a personally branded perfume although she understands Katie's husband, Tom Cruise, won't follow in David's example and do a 'for him' version of the scent."

Britney Spears gets fit
Britney Spears is set to release a series of workout DVDs after being inspired by fitness guru Jane Fonda.

Britney Spears is set to release a series of workout DVDs.

The 'Womanizer' singer, who proudly showed off her newly toned figure at the MTV Video Music Awards last month, has been inspired by fitness guru Jane Fonda to don a Lycra leotard and help her fans get in shape.

A source said: "Britney wants to put out a series of workout videos. The idea was inspired by Britney's love of dance and how it helped her get back into shape. It seems Britney found her mom's old Fonda tapes, popped them into an old VCR machine and got a big kick out of watching them."

Although the 26-year-old star is yet to confirm her DVD venture, her record label has fuelled the rumours.

A Jive/Zomba representative said: "The idea makes perfect sense, given Britney is a singer who uses dance so much in her act."

Britney is currently preparing to release her new album 'Circus' on December 2 and is hoping it will be a huge success.

A source said: "Britney is telling everyone she doesn't just want to debut at number one, but she wants it to break all kinds of records for a new release."
