Xtina Aguilera and Darren Hajul

Apparently Christina's getting hot and heavy with Darren Hajul, who fronts unsigned band most wanted. Busy Darren, who's also a dancer,actor and break-dancing champion, first met the dirrty girl when she visited the set of spider-man, where he was working as a stunt double back in 2001. The pair then bumped into each other last December at top of the pops and, after a few nights out together at celebrity clubs click and chinawhite, xtina requested that Darren appear with her at a London Valentine's bash last weekend! An insider revealed, "She's a fun-loving, free-spirited girl so this isn't anything too serious, they're just having a good time!" sneak reckons Xtina's definitely a lady who knows what she wants.

Here's the second article which is the main story, it features a big picture at the side, the rolling stone's cover and paper cuts on how the press diss Christina.

"Why bullies won't change me"

Next week, Christina Aguilera releases her best single in ages, the uplifting ballad beautiful. It's an unlikely follow up to her sauce-fest "Dirrty", but Christina has revealed that the tear-jerking tune is her defiant response to the haters who've (perhaps understandably) paid more attention to her shocking image then her music. "This is who i am and that's it", says Christina. "It's all about being proud of who you are , no matter what people say". The song shows a previously unseen, sensitive side to Chrissy that she's furiously guarded from her fans and the press. But we can reveal that her fiesty public persona has long hidden her crippling insecurities and a troubled past.

Heartbreak

The flak she's taken over the past year for her outrageous image- plus the personal heartbreak she's endured- has pushed Christina's fragile defences to breaking point. Last spring, she hit rock-bottom when she started to experience terrifying panic attacks at her home in Los Angeles. "I ran out of the house and kept running down the street, kind of shivering," she says, as she recalls one severe attack. "I didn't want anybody to find me or see me." The attacks were caused by work pressures but also by the break up of several close friendships. She confessed how she was devastated when she found out one supposedly "close friend" was planning on writing a warts-and-all book about her. "I didn't know who to trust", she explains. "That was the biggest thing- major trust issues."

Brutal

Sadly, Christina has spent her life putting on a brave face. Her father brutally beat her as a child and was bullied mercilessly at school because of her amazing singing skills. Her mother, Shelly Kearns, has told how her daughter has always been picked on for standing out from the crowd. "They made out lives a living hell", says Shelly. "She'd be late for school because i'd have to drop her off right when the bell rang because of all the threats to hurt her". As she grew older, Chrissy could have blended into the crowd just to get an easy life. But if anything, her oast experiences made her more determined to stand out. Her transformation from girl-next-door to sex siren started with 2001's saucy "Lady Marmalade", from the moulin rouge soundtrack. In the song's vid, Christina (along with pink,Mya,Lil'Kim) assumed the role of a french prostitute- to reflect the films theme. All of a sudden, Christina realised that she didn't have to look like a stereotypical pop pupper to be successful- she could just be herself. "I got to the point where i couldn't do it anymore," she said. "I'm not great at faking the perfect American virginal sweetheart kind of thing, I just have to be me".

crotchless

Her outrageous style sent the press into a frenzy, but Christina was quick to defend her dodgy dress sense. "I feel good in sexy outfits" she stated, after she performed in crotchless trousers (chaps). "I want to ber different. Rebellious, provocative." But the public backlash over her image was vicious. Influential US paper the New York post launched a section called Christina Aguilera Skank watch and everyone from Oasis to Buffy's Sarah Michelle Gellar had an opinion. Sarah MG even posed as Christina in a nasty skit on US TV show Saturday night live. "She didn't think it was very funny", Says Chrissy's stylist, Trish Summerville. And on the web there are dozens of hate sites deidcated to Christina. One, the christina slutty aguilera gallery, refers to her as Miss Uglyera.

Pants

Refreshingly, Christina has a sussed attitude and recognises that, as a pop star, she's just playing a role. "If i was wearing that get-up in a back alley at midnight it might be a little hookerish," she laughs. "But i'm an entertainer! I don't walk around my house in underpants with dirrty on them!" So,far from being a wild child, could it be that Christina- young, honest and in control of her own destiny- is more sane than all her critics put together? "I have never followed the pack," She smiles, "and i'm not going to change because some magazine called me the most skunk-haired celebrity! At the end of the day, I can still look in the mirrow and say "i'm beautiful".

The third article was about her fashion sense all it had were pictures and they were judging her outfit by the rating "star" and "too far", then they had some peoples opinions on her:

Julia from T.A.T.U: " If you put on that much make-up on anyone they'll look beautiful. But have you seen Christina with no make-up? A nightmare!"

Kelly Rowland: "Christina's image is hot. Looking at all the recent pictures of her, I think she's expressing herself, and i'm feeling that."

Sharon Osbourne: "She needs to get her head out her ass and see that's she's got a great voice. Get a new stylist!"

Kenzie from Blazin Squad: "I think she's gorgeous and i've got no problems with her image. And i totally respect her as an artist, too-she's wicked"

Natalie,15: "I don't know if she's a good role model- she's too provocative. But the words of "beautiful" are so meaningful, and they help make sense of Christina."

Bea,15: "Going to the extreme doesn't always look good. But some people can be too quick to judge on the basis of clothes. Beautiful is inspirational."

Catherine,15: "People are too quick to judge her on what she wears. I don't mind her and i don't think she's doing anything wrong. But she does overdo the make-up."

Ertun,13: "I really like her and how she performs. I love what she wears. She's just expressing her presonality and it's a personality that i really like."
