Aguilera Uplifting in China

Posted Jun 26th 2007 7:24PM by TMZ Staff

Christina Aguilera took a voluptuously hot minute to answer some questions in Shanghai ... but reporters found it difficult to pay attention. Can't hold 'em down!

The pop star's eye-popping push-up put reporters off their purpose during the "Back to Basics" tour presser.

There have been rumors that Xtina is preggers. As usual, she's milking the publicity for all it's worth.

James Brown Makes Mainland Chinese Debut

Posted Feb 22nd 2006 1:13PM by TMZ Staff

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The city: Shanghai. The venue: a drafty People's Liberation Army acrobatics theater. The event: James Brown.

The 72-year-old Godfather of Soul made his mainland China debut Wednesday, belting out classics such as "Get up Offa That Thing" before a capacity crowd.

"We are going to funk you up before we finish," Brown said three songs into his set, which he kicked off with "Make it Funky."

Dressed in a cherry red satin suit, he shimmied, shook and leapt although not quite as high as he once did.

Behind him, the nine-piece Soul General, complete with gold epaulets on their suits, put on a virtuoso display of rhythm and horns. His quartet of backup singers, the General Sweet, egged on the cheering, clapping crowd that filled the Yunfeng Theater in the heart of Shanghai's once-thriving nightclub district.
