Christina Aguilera wants a daughter

Christina Aguilera wants a daughter. The 'Beautiful' singer, who has a 17-month-old son Max Liron with husband Jordan Bratman, is keen to expand her family but doesn't want to sacrifice her career. Christina recently set up her own radio station , recorded a new album and has landed a role in new musical movie 'Burlesque', but is confident she can juggle work and motherhood. A source said: "Christina loves her family time with Jordan and Max and now she has a studio at home, being a mother and working at the same time is a real possibility - but she doesn't know if she wants to give up her other pursuits just yet. "She has just signed for a new movie and has her radio venture too, so she feels now's not a good time to have another baby - although she would adore another one. Especially a little girl." Christina recently revealed she loves being a mother and has embraced the changes in her body since giving birth. The 28-year-old blond beauty said: "Since becoming a mom, I feel I have more knowledge and that makes me feel beautiful. I feel more centered, which makes me feel confident and sexy. "The other night, my husband and I were in the bathroom getting ready for bed. I mentioned something on my body that was different before I had the baby. I said, 'That was never like that before!' And he said, 'Are you kidding me? That's what makes you even sexier. The fact that you're a mom and that your body has gone through all those changes, that makes you even sexier.' "

second lunar eclipse of the summer

MYFOX NATIONAL) - The second lunar eclipse of the summer will be partially visible in most of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains Wednesday night ( see the path of the eclipse ).

A lunar eclipse is an eclipse which occurs whenever the moon passes behind the Earth with the Earth blocking the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned exactly, or very closely, with the Earth in the middle. Therefore there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse.

It is common for eclipses to come in pairs -- solar and lunar -- but this one is unique as it is the third in this series and the fifth this year.

Astrologers have traditionally viewed the eclipse of the moon as a bad omen, believing it can awaken irrational responses.

Last month a total solar eclipse occurred in India and parts of the Far East, causing millions to shutter themselves indoors, fearing it was a bad omen.

"G.I. Joe" is AWOL for critics

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – In a highly unusual move, Paramount will open its big summer movie "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" on Friday without screening it beforehand for critics or other media.

Studio executives say they are trying to protect "Joe" from the kind of critical savaging unleashed on its recent "Transformers" sequel.

Not that the toxic reviews have affected its box office: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is the biggest movie of the year so far, with worldwide sales of $810 million.

Further, must-see interest for the first pure action movie in weeks is so high that many industryites foresee a $50 million opening weekend for "Joe." Generally, pictures are kept from critics when it's feared that poor reviews additionally will hamper an opening that's already challenged by underwhelming public interest.

"Joe" totes a reported negative cost of $175 million after a production arduous enough to spur ultimately erroneous reports of director Stephen Sommers being booted from the project. Its cast includes Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Sommers has said "Joe" isn't a "Bush movie" but one more attuned to the current administration. But Paramount is giving the film a decidedly Red State marketing campaign, and the picture's premiere was held Friday at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

Other than military personnel and focus groups, only bloggers including Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News have been shown the film, an effects-laden tale of high-tech military special ops inspired by co-producer Hasbro's G.I. Joe action figure.

Ellen DeGeneres & Portia De Rossi 'Happily Married Without Children'

Don't expect Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi to become moms anytime soon.

Although the couple told PEOPLE last August that they talk about having kids, they have decided that they are happier being cool aunts.

"I don't think we're going to have kids," DeGeneres tells AOL Television. "We have animals, and we love them. And, you know, we are brand new aunts. Her brother and his wife just had a baby girl who's a month old now, and it's fun to be a part of that."

After tying the knot last summer, DeGeneres told PEOPLE, "It's something we would never take lightly and just say, 'That would be fun.' It's a lot of work and we recognize that. In a way, we want to be selfish because we love our life, but we know how much that adds to it."

DeGeneres, 51, and de Rossi, 36, who have crusaded for gay marriage, have since decided to focus on their relationship rather than have children. "It's just a huge responsibility, and I don't know that that's something we want to take on," DeGeneres says. "We're very happily married without children."

Leelee Sobieski (Not Helen Hunt) Engaged

Leelee Sobieski has finally landed her first mister.

The 27-year-old actress who played memorable teen roles in such films as Deep Impact, Never Been Kissed and Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut but who is just as famous for being mistaken for a younger Helen Hunt, is engaged to her menswear designer beau, Adam Kimmel.

A friend of the twosome told Us Weekly the good news, which Sobieski confirmed when she showed off a sparkling diamond on her ring finger at the June 23 premiere of her latest movie, the Johnny Depp gangster flick Public Enemies, in Los Angeles.

No word when or how Kimmel popped the question, but the thespian reportedly met her fiancé in Paris the next day.

Sobieski, who appeared as a model in Kimmel's 2009 fall/winter Look Book collection, next stars in the indie drama Mad Cow opposite Arrested Development's Jeffrey Tambor.

A rep for Sobieski was unavailable for comment. The couple have not set a wedding date.

Flintoff loosens Australia grip on Ashes

Flintoff loosens Australia grip on Ashes

Australia's 75-year unbeaten Test run at Lord's is over.

The inspirational Andrew Flintoff delivered a stirring spell of fast bowling to lead England to a thumping 115-run victory on the final day of the second Ashes Test.

Needing to chase down a world record target of 522, Australia were all out for 406 giving the home side a 1-0 lead with three games to play.

Flintoff, who is retiring at the end of the series and is carrying a bung knee, was immense in capturing his best figures at the home of cricket of 5-92.

After Michael Clarke (136) and Brad Haddin (80) had revived Australia's hopes of pulling off an incredible victory, Flintoff quickly slapped them down by taking 3-43 in an unforgettable ten-over spell from the Pavilion End on Monday.

Mitchell Johnson (63) played an aggressive hand but didn't have the necessary support and was the last man to go, bowled by spinner Graeme Swann (4-87).

Flintoff earlier dismissed Haddin on the tenth ball of the day and Australia were always up against it from that point.

If Flintoff had opened Australia up, Swann effectively thrust the dagger in by deceiving Clarke with a well-flighted ball.

It was the moment that England collectively breathed a sigh of relief and Australians could turn their televisions off.

Australian skipper Ricky Ponting said his men were hurting.

"We have had a very proud record here for over a number of years now and it is obviously disappointing to lose any Test match," he said.

"But to lose a Test match in this kind of venue is extra disappointing."

Flintoff was named man of the match, having told his captain Andrew Strauss he wasn't going to rest until the last Australian wicket was captured on Monday.

"After he took the first wicket he (Flintoff) said 'By the way just to let you know, I am going to keep bowling until all these wickets are gone'," said Strauss.

"I said that sounds like a good plan to me."

English bookmakers had earlier expressed the fearful mood of the nation by dragging Australia in from 74/1 on Sunday to 2/1 to win before the start of play despite the weight of history being in the home side's favour.

Rejuvenated following a night's rest, Anderson's first ball banged into Clarke's right hip but the pain for Australia was to come in the next over.

Haddin didn't have a chance to settle against Flintoff and the fourth ball of the over he edged to Paul Collingwood at second slip.

Swann was introduced on the hour mark and Clarke instantly walked down the pitch to him after enjoying such success against him on day four.

But the tweaker was to have his number this time around with his second delivery.

Clarke came down the pitch again but was beaten with a well-flighted ball that spun back and it hit his off stump.

With 166 runs still needed to win, the game was as good as over.

Nathan Hauritz (1) didn't last long before losing his off stump, leaving a ball that cut back in down the slope from Flintoff.

By that stage Flintoff was unstoppable, the big man skittling Peter Siddle (7) with the final ball of his ninth over of the day.

Flintoff got down on one knee in the middle of the pitch with his arms outstretched in celebration.

On this form, he may just be kneeling in front of the Queen for a knighthood one day.

The third Test in Birmingham starts on Thursday week with Australia having the chance to regroup in their three-day tour match at Northampton starting Friday.
