Christina Aguilera is helping wish Macy’s a happy birthday, with her new striking ad.

As Macy’s celebrates turning 150 this October, it has enlisted some star power to help spread the word.

Stars including Christina Aguilera, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein all posted for famed Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger for a series of commemorative photos to mark the occasion.

All of the images will appear on larger-than-life displays at Macy’s stores nationwide.

As for Christina’s photo, which shows the pop diva in a stunning dress adorned by a wall of flowers, the photo harkens back to the Macy’s Flower Shows, which first debuted in California stores in 1946.

However, Christina isn’t the only blonde singing bombshell to team up with Macy’s. According to previous reports, Jessica Simpson was in New York last week shooting a holiday commercial for the department store chain.

Christina Aguilera is promising to participate in this November’s presidential election, after failing to fulfil her civic duty in the past.

The pop star confesses she only started voting in 2004, five years after she was first eligible.

And the 27-year-old is so embarrassed by her apathy, she vows she’ll turn out this year – when America gets to elect a successor to George W. Bush.

Aguilera says, “I was registered to vote as soon as I could. I didn’t really exercise that right, embarrassingly so, until the last election.”

Credit Christina Aguilera’s newborn son Max with getting her involved in this year’s election.

“Being a new mother, it was really important for me to get excited about this election,” she told Larry King during an interview Wednesday about her involvement with Rock the Vote.

This election “is such one of change and new development for our country and for the future of my son,” she added. “I want the best possibilities for him.”

Aguilera — who would not reveal which candidate she supported — told King, she registered to vote “as soon as I could” but admitted she didn’t “exercise that right until the last election.

“I grew up in a house where politics weren’t discussed,” she explained. “It was a hopeless situation.

“As a woman, that’s embarrassing that it took [me] so long [to vote] because we weren’t always given that right,” she said.

As she grew up, Aguilera said her interest in social issues increased (she has spoken out about surviving childhood abuse).

“Certain issues were brought to me where I felt I can voice my opinion,” she said.

As for why other young people don’t vote, she said maybe they feel politics “doesn’t affect them” and they think it will matter to them “later on down the road.

“But time goes quickly,” she cautioned. “I’m already 27.”

Christina Aguilera is doing her part to raise awareness about the forthcoming U.S. presidential elections – she’s appeared in a political campaign with her baby son.

The Beautiful hitmaker appears in an advert for Rock the Vote? – a non-profit organization aimed at encouraging youths to get involved in politics – ahead of the November elections.

She can be seen singing a lullaby of America the Beautiful to her son Max.

And the star had no reservations about her five-month-old baby appearing in the campaign, insisting it’s “inevitable that he will be subjected to some amount of press”.

She adds, “This election in particular is such an exciting and historical one, and so I was proud to have my son and I stand together for such a powerful moment and message in time.”
