When it comes to celebrating the big five-O most individuals may think in terms of satisfying their own personal accomplishments. However, for the editors over at 'KING' magazine, the decision to choose one lucky vixen to represent the cover for their 50th issue was a dozy.The magazine played their trump card and chose none other than singer-actress Christina Milian for its forthcoming April/May issue. Milian, who also graced the publication's cover in November/December 2004, bares next to nothing for her sophomore spread which is "guaranteed" to catch the eyes of many men, as well as women.
"Christina has always been a favorite of the 'KING' audience," says editor-in-chief Jermaine Hall. "Her diversity as an entertainer allows her to cast a net that catches a wide following."
Now don't think the voluptuous Cuban-American was just showcasing her physical assets, she also had a word or two on a few topics and rumors that were floating around. Not to mention her thoughts on her ex-boyfriend, Nick Cannon, tying the knot with Mariah Carey.
"I'm actually very happy for [Nick Cannon]," she said. "I think because of the age difference, it's going to work out well for them, because she seems really happy [and] he brings a youthful energy. He's a good person to be around."
Maybe 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' after all.

In addition to maintaining a acting career, the 27-year-old also signed to MySpace Records/Interscope Records last fall with intentions on releasing her long-awaited fourth studio album, 'Dream in Color,' this spring. Before signing to the newly formed label, the 'Dip It Low' singer was dropped from Def Jam Records, causing a whirlwind of rumors.
"A lot of people didn't know that I got dropped, but I was still promoting for myself-not necessarily for them," she revealed. "There was a lot of stuff that I got taken off of because somebody was putting some bad energy out about me, so a lot of people separated themselves from me."
Could all of the confusion be over a simple miscommunication about Rihanna's chart-topping hit single, 'S.O.S.'?
"When it all happened, I was embarrassed," she explained. "Then all these rumors went out that were so stupid. Everything from, 'She didn't take the [Rihanna] song 'S.O.S.,'' to trying to blame stuff on my man, [Dre, of production duo Cool & Dre]. He had nothing to do with anything; all he did was produce music."
"He didn't even become my man until after we were done with the album," she continued. "They tried to use every excuse in the book to put me down, and it worked. It stopped a lot of things from happening for me at that moment."

It's damned shame to see Christina slutting it up for attention and to get her career jump-started! I hate to see women "nearly" bare all to get a contract.

GO Christina Milian! I've been in a similar situation as her. My heart goes out to her for the krap she has had to put up with regards to her work. There are evil people out there that will try to bring down innocent people, but in the end, people like Milian will win!

Don't think the women is a talented singer. She did this cover to get attention and $$$$! Will EXPOSING yourself make you a better singer? I don't think so! I can't remember the last time this singer made an album. I guess, "Times are HARD". She will do anything to be recognized again.

WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE CALLING HER A SLUT BECAUSE SHE IS DRESSES SEXY. I AM A WOMAN AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HER DRESSED LIKE THAT. IT'S HER BODY - HER BUSINESS.
IT'S SAD THAT A WOMAN CAN'T BE PROUD OF HER SEX APPEAL WITHOUT HATERS CALLING HER NAMES.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DRESS LIKE THAT THEN DON'T BUT EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHAT THEY WANT.
