xtinalogo230.jpgChristina Aguilera is the latest victim of an internet hacker, at least according to her handlers.

Photos of a semi-nude Xtina, taken by her stylist, have hit the web. The singer, 29, is wearing nothing but pasties in a few of the images and in others, she's bra-less, wearing a see-through top.

Aguilera's rep has released the following statement:

    "The photos of Christina Aguilera being leaked to the press were illegally obtained by a hacker who tapped into Christina's personal stylist's account. The photos were taken in the privacy of Ms. Aguilera's home and were used only in a personal exchange between the star and her stylist."


As for taking legal action, the rep adds, "We are attempting to determine the identity of the hackers and will pursue them aggressively. Their conduct is reprehensible."

Uh, at just the moment when Xtina has gained her independence by separating from her husband; at the time when she needs to boost ticket sales for Burlesque; just as the young star is being eclipsed by newer stars like Lady Gaga and others, photos of the pop star are "illegally" released? This sounds as set up as the photos of Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift!
