(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Christina Aguilera was thrilled to receive a giant cake with a hunky man inside as an early birthday gift from Ellen DeGeneres.

The gorgeous pop star will turn 30 next month, so talk show host Ellen decided to celebrate the occasion prematurely when Christina recorded an interview for The Ellen DeGeneres Show which airs today.

Christina made the transition to film recently, and appears alongside singing and acting sensation Cher in the movie Burlesque. In a nod to Christinas role, Ellen presented the star with a giant gateau with a topless male burlesque dancer inside.

Christina has revealed shes feeling good about getting older, and has no worries about turning 30.

You're more comfortable in your own skin as a woman. You have a better idea of what you want and how to get it. At this time in my life, it's a huge turning point, it's a transitional stage and I'm ready," enthused the star.

It was at that point Ellen cheekily replied, "I feel the same way," and presented Christina with the naughty treat.

Christina discussed her role in Burlesque, where she plays lead character Ali Rose, a small town girl who moves to Los Angeles to make it as a singer. The star didnt take the job lightly, and admitted she hadnt experienced anything like it before.

"It was a lot of work. Probably the hardest I've worked my whole life," she added. (C) Cover Media
