ABC/Image Group LAWhile we patiently await Christina Aguilera‘s next album, she’s focusing on her acting career.
According to Paper magazine, Christina will appear in two movies this year. She’ll play a robot in a sci-fi movie called Zoe, and will appear as herself in the Melissa McCarthy comedy Life of the Party. The McCarthy movie, about a housewife who enrolls in the same college as her daughter, is out May 11. Zoe comes out April 21.
Christina hasn’t starred in a movie since 2010’s Burlesque, but she tells Paper that she’d like to do more acting. “My ultimate would be to do something with Will Ferrell. Just super funny, just laughing and being stooges,” she says.
As for the music, when fans asked Christina in January when she’d release the follow-up to her 2012 album, Lotus, she wrote on Instagram, “It’s coming, b****es.” While there are no details about the music, she says she’s inspired by what’s happening on the charts right now.
In the Paper interview, Christina calls Childish Gambino “a genius,” and says of Chance the Rapper, “He’s made it without a label, without any strings attached, and being so charismatic at the same time.” She also loves Cardi B, whom she says, “makes people really crack up just by being herself, and it’s genuine.”
Christina’s Paper cover story, titled “Transformation,” is available now. It features several photos of her with no makeup whatsover.
