Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman left the Mercer Hotel in New York City on Sunday, June 3, 2007 carrying some “mysterious” gift-wrapped packages.

One of the packages was large and red and the other was smaller and in gold (or brown) wrapping. Any guesses as to what’s inside?

Aguilera recently got the go-ahead from the Chinese government to perform in Shanghai next month despite some initial reactions to her racy stage act.

It was a “homecoming” for Christina Aguilera, who puckered up to Mickey Mouse at the Disney-MGM Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., on Wednesday.

The Beautiful singer’s career really took off after taping The Disney Channel’s The New Mickey Mouse Club series a as a child star in the early 1990s.

Who wouldn’t take free passes to Disneyland?

UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman and songstress Christina Aguilera have teamed up with Lifetime Television in their campaign to “End Violence Against Women.”

Launching a global effort with UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, and Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman:

To highlight the epidemic of violence against women internationally, Lifetime is partnering with UNIFEM and its Goodwill Ambassador, Oscar-winning actress Kidman, on an original PSA and online content. On LifetimeTV.com, visitors will find interviews with Kidman sharing why she became a UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador, reflecting on her recent trip to Kosovo where she visited sexual assault survivors and urging support for UNIFEM’s efforts to this. LifetimeTV.com will also offer resources providing ways to get involved, and features highlighting how — through the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women — women are working in big and small ways to combat violence across the globe.

Taking the campaign message on tour — at Christina Aguilera’s “Back to Basics” Concerts:

Three years ago, Lifetime took Christina Aguilera’s mother, a domestic violence survivor, to Washington to testify before Congress. Now her multi- Grammy-winning daughter — whose powerful song “Oh Mother” is a tribute to her mother and all those who have experienced abuse and who have supported shelters in her hometown of Pittsburgh and Los Angeles — is starring in an original PSA that will air on Lifetime and throughout April. In addition, multi-Grammy winner Aguilera is bringing the campaign messages of hope, courage and activism on her “Back to Basics” tour by showing her Lifetime PSA on jumbotrons; recognizing survivors and advocates who Lifetime, Aguilera and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) specially invite to her concerts; and distributing Lifetime’s new educational brochures with information on ways to get involved.

Christina Aguilera parties at NYC’s Gansevoort Hotel to celebrate her Nylon magazine cover on Wednesday night.

Friends that came out to support her included Eve, Lance Bass, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Alan Cumming, Joss Stone, Joel Madden, Justin Timberlake, and ohmigod-what-is-she-wearing Amber Tamblyn.

At the Nylon party, Christina, 26, addressed her long-distance love (she’s in the middle of her worldwide Back to Basics tour) with 29-year-old music exec hubby Jordan Bratman:

“He’ll fill my room with balloons and I won’t be expecting it. I’ll come in the room and there will be balloons everywhere and a card and my favorite chocolates all around – and I’m always sending cards when I can, just cute little love notes. He always leaves Post-Its by my bed when I wake up in the morning telling me how much he loves me. All that gushy stuff, but it feels good. He’s the best.

Naked Sundays definitely keep it spicy! And we make sure that we always have fun together and keep it fun and sexy. We went to Disneyland with a couple of friends on Valentine’s Day, keeping it super fun and light. We go out to romantic dinners a lot. We always make key spots, dim, sexy spots. We do anything your average couple would do, but with an interesting twist.”
