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:

Gavin DeGraw will be celebrating a birthday this October;  not his own - Macy’s!  The singer will appear at a gala celebration for the store in New Orleans hosted by Martha Stewart and Emeril Lagasse.  Proceeds from the party, which will take place on October 24th, will benefit the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts.

Macy’s is celebrating 150 years in business, and Gavin DeGraw is celebrating life these days.  He recently appeared on the same bill as DJ AM and Travis Barker that ended in tragedy for them and their friends when the plane they were traveling in crashed.  The situation caused great concern among DeGraw’s fans and family.

“My dad got on the phone and he goes, ‘Just say hi’ and I said, ‘Huh’ and he said, ‘That’s enough. I just wanted to hear your voice,” DeGraw told Extra .

“My heart goes out to the friends and families of those affected by this tragedy. I wish Travis and Adam the best during their recovery,” DeGraw told Usmagazine.com.

DeGraw is set to embark on a European tour in November.
