As part of this advertisement , the singer was made to wear new collection of rings, earrings, silver cuffs and neck laces from the Webster’s and photographs were taken. Stephen is based at London and he is very excited about launching his advertisement with Christina, who according to the jeweler is the main source of stimulation for creating these new jewels. Stephen Webster is counting on the potential of this Singer in improving the sales of his jewelry.
Another development in the life of the singer is her fight with her manager regarding the reduced sale of a magazine which featured the singer and her family. She went to the extent of removing her manager, changing her public relations firm and sacking one of her assistants. She was furious with her staff and blamed them for the poor performance by the Magazine. The magazine has paid a huge amount for the photographs of Aguilera and her son Maxliron but, the magazine sold 100,000 copies less on that issue. She wanted the people to know about her “mother status” as she doesn’t want to stop work just because she is the mother of a child.
