Christina on charity and Eminem
Christina Aguilera isn't worried about insults from rapper Eminem anymore.
Christina, who was insulted on Eminem's song "The Real Slim Shady," was defended by an unknown DJ who has recorded a parody version of the rap, titled "Slim Shady Please Shut Up", MTV reports.
"I heard the song.... It's just hilarious," Christina told MTV. "It's so funny. The girl is so white, it's not even funny. I don't know who out there did this, but it's funny and obviously it's in support of me. It's very cute, and I appreciate that. It may be on my next record ... just kidding."
In more Christina news, the Grammy-winning pop star is busy encouraging teens to get involved in their communities.
Christina, Sears and Levi's are teaming up for a non-profit organization called Do Something.
The project provides a list of issues that young people can get involved in, such as helping the environment or tutoring.
"It's all about getting kids to turn negative situations into positive ones," Christina said.
Fans who are interested in getting involved in the project can check out the Do Something website for ideas.
