  Into The Groove

By Paul V.

Christina Aguilera is launching her own perfume line, teaming up with Procter and Gamble Prestige Products to create her own signature scent. Xtina said, "I love trying new things in my music and in fashion.” The perfume is expected to hit stores toward the end of the year. Mrs. Bratman is just the latest in a long line of music celebs with their own fragrance. Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham, Beyoncé Knowles, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue have all unleashed their smells on us ... And speaking of Kylie, Madame Tussaud’s new wax figure of the pop singer, the first one unveiled for 2007, comes scented—yes, scented—with Kylie's fragrance ... As predicted at the end of 2006, Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have indeed split (and he's moved on to Scarlett Johansson, who stars in his latest music video). And now, Drew Barrymore has just called it quits with The Strokes' sexy drummer, Fabrizio Moretti. Apparently, Fab didn't jibe well with Drew's pals, and never dug their "Hollywood" vibe ... If you’ve ever had the fantasy of having 50 Cent in your bed, you can soon get under the sheets with the next best thing—a line of condoms that Fiddy is endorsing. No word on whether he sports Magnums himself, but he is donating part of the proceeds to an HIV-awareness charity ... Madonna is set to release a new album this year, and producer Stuart Price has revealed the pair will be heralding in a "new sound" for La Madge. Price also revealed that the duo has enlisted the services of some of the biggest names in music—perhaps ABBA—and rumors are rife that both Timbaland and Pharrell Williams could be among the collaborators, too. Before the new album comes out, Madonna is releasing a live CD and DVD, The Confessions Tour Live From London, on Jan. 29 ... Fans of The Police will be thrilled to know that all three original members—Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland—are in talks to re-form for an upcoming tour. The idea came about with the 30th-anniversary re-release of their first single, “Roxanne,” which is happening in the spring. We’ll keep you posted….Has the soon-to-be-divorced Whitney Houston found a new boy-toy squeeze? The diva was spotted at Maestro in Beverly Hills with Ray J. (Brandy’s younger brother). We don’t know if they were eating chicken, but that Ray J. is almost half Whitney’s age! ... And in our Britney Spears Watch: The latest news is that she’s been traipsing around with a new boyfriend, Isaac Cohen, who people have dubbed “K-Fed Lite.” While in Vegas—spending $40,000 a night to stay in the Heffner Sky Villa hotel—Britney was once again downing way too much booze; she ended puking up what looked like pureed peanut butter all over Cohen in the car. Classy, Britney ... really classy.
