Jordin Sparks, via her TwitterJordin Sparks has lost some weight recently, and she'd like the public to take note.

The former American Idol winner pulled a Miley Cyrus on Sunday, slipping into an itty bitty polka dot bikini to take a camera phone picture of herself in a bathroom mirror. Sparks then tweeted her duckface MySpace-appropriate photo to her 870,000 followers, writing, "I don't know why but my bathing suit reminds me of fruity pebbles."

Sparks' urge to overshare is understandable—she is looking good, and what fun is that if there's no one around to talk about it? But it's also hilarious behavior from a former purity ring-wearer whose ex-boyfriend's naked photos leaked onto the Internet just last month. 

Critics aren’t the only ones weighing in on Britney Spears just-released album Femme Fatale —even Brit’s onetime All-New Mickey Mouse Club co-star/fellow pop icon Christina Aguilera couldn’t help voicing up about the album. “Hey @BritneySpears Congrats on Femme Fatale release! Can’t wait to see what you bring in the next video. xo,” Xtina wrote on Twitter about an hour ago. Awww. It’s sweet to see these two playing nice.

Britney’s Circus Tour opening act Jordin Sparks also took to Twitter to sound off on Femme Fatale. “Just bought @britneyspears new album! WHOOOO! Such good memories being on the Circus tour,” Sparks wrote. She then tweeted at songwriter Claude Kelly, “You KILLED it with this Gasoline record!!! :)”

At any rate, Xtina shouldn’t have too much longer to wait to see what Brit brings in the “Till The World Ends” video. The singer, whose Good Morning America performance aired this morning, shot the video earlier this month.

Usher turned up the heat with his labelmate Jordin Sparks during his “OMG Tour” stop at the Jobing.com Arena in her homestate of Arizona on Friday (Nov. 19).

Watch Ursh give Jordin a truly OMG moment.

She may be headlining one of Broadway’s most popular shows, but In the Heights star and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks had practicality in mind when creating her first scent, Because of You. “When I was starting this project, I really wanted it to be affordable,” she tells WWD. “I looked at some other celebrity fragrances, and they were like $80. Even now, I look at a fragrance that’s $80, and I can’t bring myself to spend that much,” Sparks explains. “In this economy especially, my fans deserve a high-quality, reasonably priced scent.” Set to hit counters next week, Because of You will retail at an introductory price of $9.50 for a 2.5-oz. bottle before jumping to $14.95 on Nov. 1. The “fruity floriental” scent has top notes of clementine, white imperial currant and orange blossom; a heart of nectarine, sharry baby orchid and coral charm peony, and an undertone of sheer musks. “I wanted it to transfer easily from day to night,” Sparks tells WWD. And while this may be her first foray into fragrance, Jordin has big beauty plans in mind for the future, hoping to eventually do color cosmetics and skin care. In the meantime, fans can look forward to picking up Because of You at dots.com or Dots stores next week, before it hits Target stores in early November!
