E! news is reporting that singer Christina Aguilera is expecting her first baby with husband music-marketing exec Jordan Bratman.
Rumors have been swirling in tabloid magazines and on blogger websites that the pint size singer was pregnant for weeks. The couple has not confirmed that they are expecting yet.
The two married in November 2005 in Napa Valley, California.
Aguilera found fame alongside boy bands and Britney Spears, but caused a stir with the release of her second album, 2002's "Stripped," with its accompanying sexual imagery and overall bad-girl attitude. The album received mixed critical reviews but racked up strong sales.
Her latest record, the double album, "Back to Basics," and its accompanying tour were inspired by the blues, jazz and early soul music of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, along with the sexy, grown-up look of Hollywood vamps such as Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow and Veronica Lake.
"I wanted to revert back to a time and place in music that truly inspired me the most," Aguilera said.
Her sexy act apparently didn't faze China's cultural officials, who told the Rolling Stones not to sing some of their racier hits and canceled a performance by Jay-Z after deeming the rapper's lyrics "vulgar."
Yet, Aguilera said she was already moving on, gathering inspiration for the next album, which she promised would be "completely different from this one."
Aguilera offered no hints what that new style would be, but did make one promise: It will be a single album. "We're going to keep it short and sweet," she said.
