Christina Aguilera has tapped Big Boi to open her November 13 show at St. Pete's Mahaffey Theater.

That’s cooler than being cool.

Big Boi’s cancellation of his May 24 show at The Ritz was a bummer and a bit confusing since dates in Pensacola, Orlando, Jacksonville and Ft. Pierce remained on his itinerary. Well, this is a consolation. Today, Xtina tapped the Atlanta rap icon to open the bulk of the dates on her month-and-half-long comeback tour.
