Dear fellow bloggers: You should know that Christina Aguilera hates us. Like, for real. The singer took the opportunity at yesterday's keynote question and answer session at the Billboard/Hollywood Reporter Film & TV Conference to talk about the fact that most online writers are horrible people. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Aguilera had this to say:
"Now everyone is a critic...I don't read blogs. It's just God-knows-who in Buttf--- wherever writing hate sh--. You can't take it seriously. I'm sure you've all been hated on at some point by buttf--- people."
So. Next time you shit-talk Xtina, know that she will shit-talk you right back.
