Cop a gander of Christina Aguilera!

The diva shared a shot of herself on the set of a new photoshoot with famed photographer David LaChapelle.

Currently working on the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Lotus,’ the elusive chanteuse teased the brand new visuals on Instagram. She wrote:

LaChapelle x Xtina type of day!#staytuned ????

The pair have previously teamed up for the ‘Can’t Hold Us Down’ video as well as a number of promotional shoots. LaChapelle also helmed the clips for Britney Spears’ ‘Everytime,‘ Gwen Stefani’s ‘Rich Girl,’ and Amy Winehouse’s ‘Tears Dry On Their Own.’

No word on the timeline for Xtina’s musical return, but what is known is that she’s set to return to The Voice next Spring.

In any case, watch the video for ‘Your Body’ below. Why? Because it slays. Still.

Michael and Prince. Janet and Madonna. Beyonce and Rihanna.

Historically, there are certain names that are consistently paired and often pit against each other in music.

One of the most notable groupings is Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

Both were beacons of the late 90’s wave of blonde bombshells who would go on to blow all the way up in the early 00’s – carving out success narratives that still resonate today.

In recent years, their paths have taken very different courses – Xtina into TV and Spears to Las Vegas where her ‘Piece of Me’ residency has proven a hit.

Still, the latter surprised many given that Sin City “had-slash-has” a reputation for being the arena ageing acts go post chart relevancy.

Clearly, it’s a sentiment Aguilera’s manager Irving Azoff seems to subscribe to.

During an interview on Pauly Shore‘s podcast, the legendary industry force shot down suggestion that the ‘Your Body’ singer should embark on a Vegas run like Britney’s.

This week’s Hot 100 sees ‘See You Again’ – the latest hit from Wiz Khalifa – in the #1 spot again. Notching his fifth week at the tally’s perch, the emcee clocks the longest run at #1 by a rapper since Eminem reigned with his Rihanna-assisted number ‘Love the Way You Lie’ in 2010.

With no indication of slowing down anytime soon, the ‘Fast and the Furious’ soundtrack number leads a fairly stagnant, male dominated top 5 with The Weekend, Fetty Wap, and Bruno Mars helping fill out the rest of the space.

Elsewhere on charts, the week’s most talked about entry – Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea‘s ‘Pretty Girls’ – is sitting pretty in the top 30 with an impressive debut fueled mostly by sales.  Before we find out the boost it receives courtesy of its accompanying music video (which was unveiled yesterday), tuck in below to see this week’s refreshed Billboard Hot 100 top 10:
