Christina Aguilera Defends Her Mommy-Daddy Nights
Songtress and new mom Christina Aguilera has been criticized for recent photos of her out at clubs -- and she's fighting back!
“I spend all day with my son and once in a while if I want to go out and have a mommy-daddy night with my husband, I am more than allowed to do that,” Aguilera told “Access Hollywood.”
"Everybody has an opinion," she said. "But it's something that comes with what [I] do and I learned that very early on."

Jenny McCarthy + Jim Carrey Lead Effort to “Green Vaccines”
Celebumom Jenny McCarthy and boyfriend Jim Carrey led a march in Washington DC on Wednesday to raise awareness about toxins in vaccines. McCarthy, who chronicled her son's battle with autism in her book "Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism" (Dutton), has been fairly outspoken about her concerns about the link between childhood vaccines and autism.
Citing childhood vaccines as a likely contributing factor to the rise in childhood autism and possibly other diseases as well, the actress and TACA (Talk About Curing Autism) are most concerned with the schedule of childhood vaccines and preservatives added to the vaccines. The Green our Vaccines campaign attributes a rise in childhood autism to an increased number of vaccines, coupled with chemicals used in them that may cause severe neurological problems to a small minority.
