Seen: Christina Aguilera + More
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
It's about as megawatt as it gets when sultry pop diva Christina Aguilera is in town. The 5-time Grammy award-winner who is now a coach and judge on the popular NBC TV series The Voice was spied climbing into a limousine in front of the Viking Hotel in Newport this weekend. The grand hotel on Bellevue Avenue is a magnet for celebrities, having hosted Bill Murray, Bruce Willis and Frances McDormand at its rooftop bar when these stars were in the City by the Sea last summer filming Moonrise Kingdom (which sees its RI premiere this week). The star was seen with her boyfriend Matthew Rutler (who is from Newport) at LAX airport on Thursday (he's graduated from being a production assistant on her film Burlesque to writing songs for her new album) and landing at Logan Airport in Boston. Evidently, X-Tina took a long weekend on this coast, because on Monday, the sexy star was spotted at the Newport Fudgery. How sweet is that?...
Reality television royalty came to town this weekend, when Mohegan Sun's Reality Check event featured Countess LuAnn de Lesseps from Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City. The countess is a native of Berlin, CT so some of her family, including her brother and sister-in-law and even a woman she used to babysit for, all came to her appearance! She took a picture at Shine 360 then went to dinner at Bobby Flay's Bar Americain. After that, she went and played some blackjack among other Mohegan Sun guests and was very accommodating to fans who noticed her and wanted to say a quick hello. Royalty always know how to behave…
The next day, Mohegan was jumping again, when Aaron Hernandez and Niko Koutouvides from the New England Patriots, appeared in a special Signings & Sightings event. Both players were very, very friendly and were genuinely excited about meeting fans. The players who are actually both from Connecticut signed mostly footballs, mini helmets and jerseys. They left the signing with some Frank Pepe's pizza for their ride back!
