Christina Aguilera has signed on for the final episode of MTV’s TRL (Total Finale Live) airing November 16th at 8:00PM.  Justin Timberlake, Fall Out Boy, Kid Rock, Beyonce, Travis Barker, Taylor Swift and many more are also slated to appear, along with some blast from the past VJs including La La Vasquez and Jesse Camp(!).

New Mom Aguilera has come a long way both personally and professionally since she first appeared on TRL singing “Genie in a Bottle,” and she “Keeps Gettin’ Better” as her aptly named greatest hits CD suggests.

“It’s such a special time for me, being a new mom, releasing this [album] the first year of my son’s birth,” she explained to MTV. “I’m looking forward to the next 10 years, which is partly why I named the album, Keeps Gettin’ Better, ’cause it does.”

Despite having some controversy in her past (remember Xtina’s “Dirrty”?) she recently told People that she remains true to herself and has no plans to hide this from baby Max.

“It’s very important to me as a mother to not lose sight of who I was before becoming a mother. I want to share with my son, what I’m passionate about, what I was about before he was born.”

Keeps Gettin’ Better — A Decade of Hits is available now at Target.

Oh, and rumor has it Fred Durst is scheduled for the TRL Finale too — remember when the rumors were flying about those two and his appearance with Christina at the VMAs was one of the show’s most memorable moments:

Following the recent trend to ink exclusive deals with big-box retailers, Christina Aguilera’s upcoming CD Keeps Gettin’ Better—A Decade of Hits will be available only at Target. The greatest hits compilation is set for release on November 11th.

“I can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since my first album, and it was really exciting to put all of my favorite songs in one collection for my fans,” enthused Aguilera. But do her fans only shop at Target, and is it right (or even good business practice) to offer a hot new release via only one store?

Other acts drew ire from independent record store owners when they signed exclusive deals with Walmart. In fact, The Eagles (and Don Henley in particular) was the recipient of an open letter signed by members of the Coalition of Independent Music Stores and protesting the band’s decision.

What do you think? Does exclusivity ultimately hurt the music industry or help it in these difficult times? Comment and let us know.
