Christina Aguilera says she is reading scripts in order to find the right role to launch her acting career. The 26 year old singer is one of few popstars who has yet to convert from the stage to the big screen. Christina claims that she wanted to take some time in order to fully understand the film industry. Perhaps Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears should have done the same. Not to say that Jess and Brit don’t have the ability to act, they were probably just thrown into roles where they could not fully show their acting potential (”Employee of the Month” and “Crossroads” ring a bell?). Regardless of their failures, Christina is determined to make it in the acting industry.

“I am looking forward to moving into another form of what I feel is another creative outlet for me and that would be acting,” the popstar told reporters in Shanghai China where she was performing in concert. “It is something that, when I attempt to do it, I want to do it right so it’s important for me that I do choose the right first role for myself,” she finishes.

Could Christina Aguilera be the latest pop superstar to start a family?

With Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani already raising babies, and Christina rumored to be expecting, other performers like Fergie and Nelly Fertado could be forgiven for fearing that something is in the water.

Christina was spotted at a maternity hospital last week, which prompted speculation that she is having a baby with husband Jordan Bateman. In recent pictures Christina’s usually washboard flat abs are now showing sighs of a “small bump.”

A source stated, “Christina and Jordan adore each other and have tried for a baby for a while to complete the family.” Christina has previously denied baby rumors, saying that it will happen one day. Could today be the day?
