AGUILERA AVOIDS PAPARAZZI WITH HOME RECORDING STUDIO

The Genie in a Bottle hitmaker has been stalked by photographers since her career took off, and she first installed the booth so she could complete tracks for her newest album at any hour.

Now she has discovered another advantage to working from home - celebrity snappers have very few opportunities to target her.

Aguilera says, "We moved into our new house about a year ago but since I started working on the record, I have a studio in the backyard... and it just has been so perfect for me to just wake up in the morning, put on my flip-flops and sweat pants, and just go back in the studio and pretty much get into my creative cave and zone out that way, so it's been really convenient.

"So the paparazzi have probably been upset with me. I know they told my husband - they're like, "Is she ever going to leave the house?"
