Xtina: Stripped Of The Dirty And Bringing Hope To The Hungry

Unfortunately in Hollyweird, being a married woman and even a mother still can't get you to be taken seriously.

Luckily, we're all suckers for those who lend a helping hand (and big ol' checks) to charity. Just ask the Playboy Bunny-blonde, crimson-lipped, and the former supporter of leather butt chaps songstress, Christina Aguilera.

Of course, her transformation from trashy to classy did not happen overnight. Slowly but surely, she removed the creepy piercings, gave back her raven hair to Morticia Addams, and put those chaps in storage (yup, I do realize it's the second mention, but they're hard to erase from the mind).

Nowadays, this charity chica is using her powerful vocal cords to literally voice her support as the official global spokesperson for World Hunger Relief.

According the website, "Aguilera will help raise awareness of the hunger issue this fall by appearing in a new public service announcement, advertising and posters made possible by KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell."

In fact, Aguilera was caught - via paparazzi - shooting a Public Service Announcement on the streets of Los Angeles Wednesday, July 15 for World Hunger Relief. The PSAs will air sometime this Fall.

Join Christina Aguilera in the fight to end hunger since "Together, we have the power to save lives and go from hunger to hope," she has said.

It seems her art mimics her life, for she once sang about being a Fighter...now she is one.

I just hope she doesn't want to be a Genie In A Bottle too, but we'll let her do her thang.
