In an ideal world, who would you want to play at your wedding? I’d want Al Green, The Pixies and maybe Jane’s Addiction (come on, why not?). Here are people I would never want to perform at (or attend) my wedding: Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Barbra Streisand, Cher or Christina Aguilera. Okay, MAYBE Rihanna and Cher could come to the wedding, but they couldn’t perform. They’re all divas and scene-stealers, and why would you want that on your special day? Better to just invite Perry Farrell and Rev. Green.

Anyway, it seems like Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner thought that it might be a good idea to invite Christina Aguilera to perform at Kim’s wedding. The problem? The Kardashian-Jenner Klan cheaps out, always. Because they are tacky, tacky, tacky.

This weekend brought the highly anticipated wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, in which no expense was spared on the lavish event. But according to insiders, The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star’s mom, Kris Jenner wanted The Voice‘s Christina Aguilera to perform at the reception, but why didn’t Christina perform? Believe it or not, it was a matter of money!

Money? The Kardashians? I know you are thinking that we must be kidding, but we are not! According to an insider close to Kris Jenner, Kris originally wanted a big name performer like Christina Aguilera or Jennifer Lopez to perform at the wedding, but there was one problem – she was not willing to pay!

With private concerts by both of the singers costing around $1 million, Kris opted not to go with Christina Aguilera or Jennifer Lopez, as she told friends she refused to compensate that much for their time. Seriously? Did she expect either of those talented women to perform for free?

The whole idea of Kris Jenner refusing to spend that much seems ridiculous. After all, we know Kim Kardashian wore not one, but three custom made wedding gowns, the couple had a $20,000.00 cake, and dinner prepared by Wolfgang Puck, but she couldn’t spare for Christina Aguilera? Instead, the wedding guests were treated to a DJ and Earth, Wind and Fire – don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, but being that this was the so called “wedding of the year,” we would have thought she would have gotten a bigger name, more age appropriate act for Kim Kardashian and Kris Humpries’ big day.

Now, there’s no mention of the specifics of what happened if and when Kris and Kim every took this unholy communist scheme to Christina and her people. God knows, Christina would probably perform at any wedding just as long as she gets free drinks (it might be cheaper to just pay her a flat-fee, honestly, rather than pay her booze fee). I like to think that someone approached Christina while she was sitting at bar, doing shots, and she said something like, “That Kardashian whore? I would charge her to listen to my vodka farts.”

Meanhwhile, there are some new photos of Christina arriving at LAX on Tuesday, with her son and her boy toy, Matt Rutler. The photos are below, and this is how Fame Pictures described them:

“Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler arrive at Los Angeles Airport on Tuesday afternoon, August 23rd, 2011 with son Max, who was uncharacteristically covered up from photographers. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that Max had some drastic bruising on his face and what appeared to be a broken nose. Amidst reports of the singer’s erratic behavior and alleged booze-filled outings, Aguilera seemed overly protective in hiding Max’s injury, which only fuels more suspicion as to the nature of little Max’s injury and the environment in which he is living. Was Christina simply trying to protect her son in attempts to minimize the media backlash over his injury or are there more suspicious circumstances at hand?”

Now, Fame Pictures likes to stir the pot, and this could totally be nothing. It’s probably far more likely that Max was playing and he fell and there’s nothing sinister. Sidenote: how ridiculous does Christina’s skin look?
