OTTAWA -- Pop star Christina Aguilera may be the product of way too much hype.
Sure, there's hot-looking-mama potential based on that recent skanky Rolling Stone magazine cover and just about every media outlet drooling over her bad-girl image.
Huh? Aguilera, a bad girl? For gawdsakes, she's just a 19-year-old former Mouseketeer with a batch of Walt Disney-approved rhythm and blues hits and a good set of pipes.
Like her ex-Mouseketeer pal Britney Spears, she's popular as far as record sales and teen magazines go, maybe even a good role ... |

In an acid-tongued attack on fellow female stars, the Welsh teenager suggested Christina Aguilera looked like a 'slag', Jennifer Lopez led a boring life and Britney Spears spoiled her beauty with too much make-up.

In a red bustier and black pencil skirt, Christina's bright yellow hair was only outshone by Donatella's. Peroxide manufacturers must be rubbing their hands with glee.
Aguilera, 21, was not the only Donatella lookalike at the show - the catwalk was full of them.
