Pop superstar CHRISTINA AGUILERA has snubbed the Hollywood party scene, opting for quiet nights in with husband JORDAN BRATMAN instead.
The Dirrty singer, 26 - who is reportedly pregnant with the couple’s first child - wants to leave behind her wildchild reputation and insists she loves nothing more than to cosy up to producer Bratman.
She says, "We still go out but I’m not into the whole Hollywood party scene.
"I know I could have gone down that route and I’m so grateful I never did. We have this new thing about staying in and being cosy. Just the two of us hanging out at home, snuggling up on the sofas."

LATEST: U2 rocker BONO is confident the SPIDER-MAN musical he is currently working on will dazzle audiences, because it will be "something the likes of which no-one has seen or heard".
The singer is creating the Spider-Man production with his bandmate The Edge and director Julie Taymor, whose new film Across The Universe he has a cameo in.
The U2 stars and Taymor are currently hunting for a New York theatre big enough to house their project, and Bono is already warning audiences to expect the unexpected.
He says, "If we pull off what we’re trying, it will be something the likes of which no-one has seen or heard.
"It should be a hallucinogenic experience for theatregoers. You have the visual energy she (Taymor) brings. The myth of the arachnid and the elasticity of these characters - you can turn theatre upside down." And Bono and The Edge plan to bring a wide range of music to the production.
Bono adds, "We’ve got some punk rock in there and some beautiful opera."

Actress DREW BARRYMORE has no regrets about her troublesome past - because her experience with drugs and alcohol has made her more appreciative of life.
The Charlie’s Angels star, 32, rose to Hollywood prominence in 1980 at the tender age of five, but her life soon spiralled out of control and by the time she turned 14, Barrymore had already been in rehab twice for cocaine and alcohol abuse.
But she admits her wildchild ways have made her more cautious of her current Hollywood lifestyle.
She says, "(My problems) led me to where I am. I don’t take things for granted."

LATEST: LINDSAY LOHAN will be spending five days of "quality time" with her father MICHAEL next week (begs01Oct07) - in a secret location away from her Utah rehabilitation clinic, according to reports.
The Mean Girls actress, 21, checked into the Cirque Lodge in Utah in early August (07) to seek counselling following two drink drive charges earlier this year (07).
Her mother Dina recently insisted the star’s third stint in rehab will not be coming to an end any time soon, despite reports to the contrary, and now ex-convict Michael says he will be whisking Lindsay away as part of the rehab centre’s out-patient therapy programme.
He tells the New York Daily News, "I’m looking forward to spending the next week with her. We’ve been in constant phone contact. She’s in a great, great place now. I’ve never heard her so honest, contrite and focused.
"Lindsay is weeding out all the bad. She’s taking a step back and reevaluating her life. What she tells - her honesty and openness - has brought me to tears. It’s beyond words how proud I am of her." And Michael - who has become an ordained minister since being released from jail in March (07) - hopes his visit will encourage Lindsay to kick her drug and alcohol addictions completely, because of his own experiences with illegal substances.
A source says, "They believe Michael’s the best person for Lindsay to be with now.
"Not only is he her dad - someone with her best interests at heart - but he’s also someone who successfully turned his own life around after battling substance abuse."

The Indian star of OWEN WILSON’s new movie insists she’ll never pick up another cigarette after chain smoking her way through the film.
Pretty Amara Karam had never smoked before landing the part of Rita in The Darjeeling Limited - and asked friends to help her master the habit, so that by the time she first met director Wes Anderson she’d be puffing like a pro.
But she hated every moment she had to put a cigarette to her lips.
She says, "As part of the audition process I made sure that I lit up at some point during the day because I wanted Wes to see me smoking because I didn’t want him not to cast me because he didn’t get that smoking vibe.
"Before, I was holding it like some kind of blowtorch that might singe somebody. I didn’t smoke and all of my friends smoke and so I developed a bit of a complex, so I practiced smoking with my friends in preparation for the film.
"I gave up as soon as I finished filming. It’s really disgusting."

"We were filming in a certain part of a lot and there was this building I was walking out of to start a scene, and there were seven crew members who went inside this building and had very strange experiences.
"One of the ladies felt her sweater being tugged and she couldn’t explain it and another guy felt somebody tugging on the bottom of his jeans, and I had the bottom of my dress tugged.
"We definitely felt like something was in there."

Eighties’ pop star SINITTA has hit out at THE X FACTOR judge DANNII MINOGUE, insisting she is nothing more than a SHARON OSBOURNE "copycat".
Sinitta, 40, was denied the chance to become the fourth addition to the judging panel on the hit British talent show by her former mentor Simon Cowell, and instead was relegated to helping pop wannabes improve their act.
And the singer believes 35-year-old Minogue - who joined the show earlier this year (07) - adds nothing special to the programme.
She says, "I would definitely be better than Dannii. I don’t think she takes away from the show, I just don’t think she brings anything new.
"She even looks like her (Sharon). They needed a new flavour and I would have brought that." A spokesman for The X Factor refused to comment on Sinitta’s remarks.

SHARON OSBOURNE was so desperate to expand her family after giving birth to son Jack, she and husband OZZY attempted artificial insemination - but the process was "mental torture".
The rock matriarch, 54, turned to in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in the late 1980s after discovering her fallopian tubes had been ravaged by a stomach infection shortly after Jack was born in November 1985.
But the process proved to be too harrowing for the Osbournes to cope with.
Sharon says, "Sadly it didn’t work. After I had Jack I got a stomach infection and I didn’t treat it, so the infection spread into my tubes and messed them up. So we went through IVF but oh my God, I just couldn’t take that ride.
"The wait for results, for each phone call, was mental torture. It did me in and I couldn’t go through it again."

OZZY OSBOURNE has agreed to a suicide pact with wife SHARON - because she doesn’t want to go through the pain her father DON ARDEN did when he suffered from Alzheimers.
The American Idol judge, 54, claims she and rocker Ozzy, 59, made the mutual decision earlier this year (07) after music mogul Arden lost his struggle with the neurodegenerative disease and died in July (07) aged 81.
She says, "We believe 100 per cent in euthanasia, so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains. If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it - we’d be off.
"We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes and they’ve all agreed to go with it. There’s no way I could go through what (my father) did, or put my kids through that.
"My father deteriorated at such a rapid speed he became a shell of himself.
Some say the disease is hereditary so at the first sign I want to be put out of my misery." And Sharon believes their decision will spare their kids Aimee, 24, Kelly, 22, and 21-year-old Jack the burden of the illness.
She adds, "It’s taken away some of the fear of our ending and is a final gift of love to our kids."

"People are escaping all the time (from Burma), coming over with gaping, maggot-infested wounds, their ears being cut off. You saw a lot of suffering, a lot of malnutrition.

Actor DANNY DeVITO once found himself lost at sea with MICHAEL DOUGLAS, because his longterm friend convinced him he knew how to sail a catamaran.
DeVito and Douglas had to be rescued by the coast guard during their ill-fated 1960s sailing expedition.
DeVito recalls, "Michael brought me to Connecticut once. He had some friends who said they had a catamaran. I didn’t even know what a catamaran was.
"He said, ‘Come on, let’s get a couple of six-packs (of beer) and go out.’ I figured he knew how to drive it.
"We went out into the water, drank the six-packs - we couldn’t get back.
"And there were people out there sailing, using us as a buoy, going around us. We had to get rescued."
