Christina Aguilera and Kim Kardashian brunched and bonded poolside at Miami’s Fontainebleu Hotel Saturday.
The “Bionic” singer sported a teal maxi dress and hat while Kardashian opted for a sexy leopard print bikini.
“Spent the day by the pool [with] the girls all day! Now doin a little shopping! So happy to just spend quality time [with] my friends,” Kardashian Twittered Saturday.
In town for stylist Simone Harouche’s bachelorette bash, they spent Friday evening together partying at LIV nightclub inside Fontainebleu.
It’s not the first time the women have enjoyed a night out.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star joined Aguilera for her New York City Bionic record release party on June 9.
“I’m obsessed with her new album,” Kardashian later blogged. “Her voice is one of my all time favorites.”

Christina Aguilera said in a recent interview that there is a deliberate tribute to Madonna in her video for current hit, Not Myself Tonight.
The R&B/pop singer was inspired by Madge’s Express Yourself video as it was strong and empowering.
She told Q Magazine: “One of my favourite videos ever is ‘Express Yourself’ by Madonna which came across as really strong and empowering which I always try to incorporate through my expression of sexuality”.
“I love the direct reference I made to Madonna with the eye glass moment and the smoke and stairs. I was paying tribute to a very strong woman who has paved the way before.”

The singer’s latest offering, Bionic, is set to be released next month and she is confident it will be a hit. In 1999, Christina’s self-titled album topped the US charts and she is hoping to recreate this success with Bionic. Although the video for her new single Not Myself Tonight has drawn comparisons with Lady Gaga, Christina is adamant her current material will take fans back to when she first stormed the charts.
“The record is a non-stop party,” she told Pop Tarts. “I don’t think I’ve made such a fun, pop record since my first, with a lot more sophistication now. I got a little frightened with my very first record because I felt so stifled, it was so label driven so I shied away from doing straight pop for a while after that.”
The 29-year-old star has dismissed claims she is trying to follow in the footsteps of Gaga and Madonna by making shocking music promos. The mother-of-one insists she is still making music not for the money or the fame but simply because she loves singing.
“Of course you want to do things like support your family, but the music business is probably the last business you want to be in if you want to stay afloat,” she said. “I do it because I love it and adore it and sometimes you can make more money in different outlets but I would never stop making music, ever.”

The 29-year-old singer started dating Jordan Bratman in 2002 and they married in 2005. They have two-year-old son Max together, and publicly gush about how in love they are.
Jordan is turning 33 next month, and Christina is keen to throw him a lavish party to show all their friends and family how much he means to her. The bash will have a burlesque theme, and Christina is even planning an erotic performance to titillate her husband.
“She’s planning a celeb-studded party with a burlesque theme,” an insider told British magazine More! “Christina’s shelling out over £150,000 and will have her own troupe of burlesque dancers to accompany her!”
Despite their happy marriage, Christina and Jordan have no plans to add to their brood any time soon. Christina took so long to get back into shape after giving birth to Max she wants to give her body a break and focus on her new album Bionic.
“I’m not going to have more kids any time soon,” she recently said. “It took me a while to get my body back after having a baby and I want to enjoy this for a while first.”

After taking several years off to become a mother, Christina Aguilera is in the midst of a publicity blitz in advance of the release of her upcoming album Bionic. But the thing about being a pop diva is that, as soon as you’re gone for a minute, new stars come to take your place, be they Katy Perry, Ke$ha or, in Aguilera’s case, Lady Gaga.
Though Gaga’s little monsters have been hammering Aguilera for alleged copycat looks and sounds for the past month, Christina has mostly taken the high road, claiming there’s room for everyone and recently saying that her work and track record speak for themselves.
But in the new issue of Out magazine, Aguilera takes a not-so-subtle dig at her purported rival, chuckling when the interviewer brings up Gaga. “Oh, the newcomer,” Aguilera said. “I think she’s really fun to look at.” Though Gaga hasn’t weighed in on the jabs, one of her most ardent supporters, blogger Perez Hilton, has been posting a series of scathing attacks on Aguilera over the comments to the gay magazine.
On Monday (May 17), Aguilera posted a letter to fans on her website attempting to defuse the situation. “I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention this morning,” she wrote. “It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama — especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story … I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that. There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.”
Alluding to her alleged rivalry with fellow “Mickey Mouse Club” alum Britney Spears, Aguilera complained, “This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist, but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.”

R&B/pop diva Christina Aguilera has admitted in a recent interview that her relationship with her father is pretty much non-existent. The singer claimed that she saw her father Fausto Aguilera abuse her mother while she was growing up and doesn’t meet up with him because she doesn’t see the point.
She said in an interview with Latina Magazine: “Our relationship is pretty non-existent. I’m in a place in my life where I just don’t see a reason for it. To remember the chaos that my mother went through, the abuse, I don’t know how she did it.
“But it’s amazing how much you can trick your mind into surviving when you have to. There’s always room for forgiveness and I do forgive, but you grow up and make choices for your family.”

“I get off on working with creative energy,” the 29-year-old singer recently told Billboard. “That’s when I’m most at home and feel happiest. And all these people brought about new sides of me. It was a big collaboration-fest, and it felt so good and rewarding in the end, because I was just so happy with the work and the new territories that I ventured out to.”
Christina’s second single will reportedly be “Woohoo.“

Christina Aguilera visited Haiti earlier this week to spend time with families displaced by the 7.0 magnitude quake, serve meals at a school and even sing for some Port-au-Prince children.
“I was so moved by the devastation in Haiti but also by the spirit of its people,” the singer, 29, who traveled to the country with husband Jordan Bratman, said in a statement Thursday. “[The children] have such joy and are eager to learn despite the destruction around them.”
Aguilera, an Ambassador Against Hunger for the World Food Programme, toured the country with WFP aid workers and served rice and beans to children at two schools in the Haitian capital.
“The children deserve a chance and I want to make sure they get a chance,” says Aguilera, who also met with mothers and children who have been living in refugee camps since the January earthquake.
The Grammy Award-winning star also sang “Happy Birthday Haiti” to a class in Port-au-Prince, highlighting how reconstruction efforts have given the country a new start.
“I urge everyone to go to www.wfp.org/christina and donate so we can bring food to these mothers and children and help them rebuild their lives,” says Aguilera.
