Ex-Mickey Mouse Clubber
Christina Was in LOVE
with Tony Lucca

Exclusive

Christina Aguilera has it out for Tony Lucca on "The Voice" because he spurned her while they worked on The Mickey Mouse Club -- this according to a former Mouseketeer.

Ex-Mouse Clubber Dale Godboldo -- who starred on the 90s MMC revival alongside Aguilera and Lucca -- tells TMZ, Tony was pretty popular in his Disney days ... "Britney was in love with him. Christina was in love with him. Mylin was in love with him."

0509_tony_christina_dale_mickey_mouse_93But Christina and Tony never hit it off -- and Dale believes she's carried a grudge ever since, claiming, "All of this [Voice] madness was not brought on by Tony."

You'll recall ... Aguilera harshly criticized Tony's "Voice" performance Monday night -- calling the rendition of "99 Problems" "derogatory to women." The two have been butting heads all season.

Hell hath no fury like a Mouseketeer scorned.

The Wanted
Non-Apology
for Christina Aguilera

Exclusive
0430_the_wanted_aquilera_video
Two days after calling "Voice" judge Christina Aguilera "a bitch" on the radio in New York, one of the guys from The Wanted seemingly apologized in one breath ... and then took another shot at her in the next.

After a guest appearance on the show, the band went on 92.3 NOW in NYC and said, "She's a total bitch. She might not be a bitch in real life, but to us she was a bitch."

Talking outside the Mondrian Hotel today in Hollywood, the one who calls himself Tom was asked about his Xtina comments ... and in back-to-back sentences he said, "We shouldn't have said it, to be honest with you. We just think manners cost nothing, you know what I mean?"

Neither does humility.

Indictment in Nude Hacking Case
50 Victims Include
Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis

1012-hacker_fbi_BN-01

The FBI just released the grand jury indictment of a man who allegedly hacked into the email accounts of 50 victims, including dozens of celebrities.

The indictment was issued against 35-year-old Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida.  He was arrested this morning by FBI agents, on charges of identity theft, wiretapping and other charges.

According to federal officials, Chaney would use public information to access email accounts of his alleged victims, and then access computers and cell phones under the control of his victims.

101211_news_conference_v2_video
Some of the alleged victims include Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, and celebrity stylist Simone Harouche. Some of the ill-gotten materials included naked photos.

As TMZ first reported, law enforcement sources tell us Chaney allegedly acted alone, and got no money for his alleged misdeeds -- rather, he did it for the thrill.

Chaney faces 121 years in federal prison if convicted on all counts.

Xtina's Lawyer Attacks Website
She's NO Child Abuser!

0824_christina_doc_launch_ex_2
Christina Aguilera is furious over an Internet report implying that she beat her son Max and gave him a black eye ... and now TMZ has learned she's threatening to sue.

Aguilera's attorney, Eric Greenspan, fired off a letter to MediaTakeOut.com ... after the site published a story under the headline, "CHILD ABUSE???? CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S SON IS PHOTO'D WITH A BLACK EYE!!!"

Greenspan writes, "Christina is a wonderful mother and was not present in the park when Max fell and hurt himself."

He adds, "To imply that she had something to do with this incident, without any investigation on your part whatsoever, is reckless and unconscionable."

After threatening to pursue legal action against the site, Greenspan concludes, "HAVE YOU NO SHAME!!!!"

MTO has since removed the child abuse reference from the headline.

Christina Aguilera
I Didn't Bruise Up My Baby!

0824_christina_ex_INFChristina Aguilera is firing back at rumors she's somehow responsible for a giant bruise on her son's face -- telling friends little Max simply had himself a little fall at the park ... chasing squirrels.

The photo was taken yesterday afternoon at LAX -- with rumors circulating that Christina's "erratic behavior and alleged booze-filled outings" somehow contributed to Max's accident.

But sources tells us, that's total nonsense -- 3-year-old Max was out with his nanny last week, chasing around squirrels ... and the kid tripped over a rock and bruised his face.

According to our sources, Max was taken to the doctor immediately and everything was fine. No broken nose, no stitches. Just your average boyhood bruise.

As one source put it, "Christina is a great mom ... Max is her #1 priority."

Christina Aguilera
I'm PERFORMING At
MJ Tribute Concert

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera has finally agreed to perform at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in Wales in October ... promoters have announced.

Xtina will be joined by Cee Lo, Smokey Robinson, Leona Lewis, Craig David, UK boy band JLS, and Alien Ant Farm -- known for their 2001 cover of MJ's "Smooth Criminal."

Members of the Jackson family will also be performing at the October 8th concert in Cardiff -- including several of his brothers -- but we're guessing that list doesn't include Jermaine or Randy.

According to an executive for Global Live Events, this is just the tip of the iceberg -- "This announcement is just the beginning, we have many more to announce."

Katherine Jackson
Courting MASSIVE Stars for
MJ Tribute Show

0808_mj_forever_ex
Michael Jackson's mom has personally reached out to some of the biggest music stars in the world in the hopes of getting them to perform at the big MJ tribute show in October ... but only ONE of them is a definite YES ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the concert tell us ... Jay-Z, Kanye West, Cee Lo, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Usher and Bruno Mars have each received an invitation (pictured above) from Katherine Jackson ... asking them to perform 1 or 2 of their favorite MJ songs in Cardiff, Wales on Oct. 8.

Katherine promises each star who signs on will be provided with "first class travel accommodations."

We're told Chris Brown, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars have each respectfully declined the invite due to scheduling conflicts ... however, Christina and Kanye are leaning towards "Yes."

As for the one person who's already signed on the dotted line -- sources tell us Cee Lo from Gnarls Barkley was quick to commit.

Tickets to the event have not gone on sale yet -- but promoters say they will become available once a complete line-up is booked.
