As Ami mentioned a couple of weeks back, Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman recently celebrated the brit milah of their son Max Liron. Now the SF Gate brings us the juicier and more hilarious details of the event:
Christina Aguilera insisted on turning her baby son’s bris into a big celebration and decorated her home with penis balloons.
Aguilera, a Catholic, has adopted all the customs and holidays of her husband Jordan Bratman’s religion, and admits she now knows how to celebrate the rite of male circumcision.
The pop star refused to allow the sacred ceremony to become a somber affair and turned the bris into a big party.
She says, “I’m not Jewish, my husband’s Jewish … I never really knew a lot of Jewish people growing up either, so I really had no idea about the bris and all the Jewish holidays. It’s all a learning process for me.
“It was a very sweet experience; we had a lot of close friends come over and experience the bris with us.
“We’re such a non-conventional couple, we had a lot of penis balloons everywhere.”
