Christina Aguilera 'Rocks the Vote' for Baby Max

Originally posted 06/26/2008 11:15AM


Christina Aguilera is urging Americans to vote – and she's using her 5-month-old son, Max, to help spread the word.

Mom and son will star in an upcoming Rock the Vote public service announcement, the pop star, 27, said on Wednesday night's Larry King Live.

"It was really important for me to get involved and get excited about this election in particular," said Aguilera, "being such one of change and new development for our country and for the future of my son."

In the PSA, Aguilera holds Max and sings "America the Beautiful." It's a takeoff on a 1992 Rock the Vote commercial with Madonna wrapped in the American flag.

VIDEO: Larry King Talks Lawrence King in Anti-Homophobia PSA

Originally posted 04/24/2008 12:45PM



Larry King is the latest celebrity to speak out against homophobia. In a new public service announcement on YouTube, the CNN anchor promotes the National Day of Silence – taking place on April 25 to honor 15-year-old California student Lawrence King, who was murdered by a classmate, allegedly for being gay. "Larry King and I share more in common than just our names," the anchor says in the new video. "We both believe students should be free to be themselves without the fear of name-calling, bullying or harassment."

Lance Bass has also joined the campaign, filming his one-minute public-service announcement in support of the 12th annual National Day of Silence.

Janet Jackson Teaches Larry King Dance Moves

Originally posted 02/29/2008 11:55AM

This may open a whole new career for Larry King: dipping instead of dishing. The suspendered CNN interviewer, 74, gets a lesson in how to dance from Janet Jackson, 41, on his show Thursday night. She shakes; he quakes. (For a glimpse of their fancy footwork, click here.)

"Okay Janet, show me a trick," says King as he readies for his lesson."I don't know what I am doing," he adds as Ms. Jackson giggles and patiently shows him a few moves while her new music video is screened behind them.

"What is this called?" he asks about one rigorous step. "The Dance of the Video," she says. He also wonders if this is how Gene Kelly got started. You be the judge.
