LOS ANGELES Pop diva Christina Aguilera Wednesday threatened to take legal action against the distributors of an online porn video purported to include sexually explicit images of the singer.
"It has recently come to our attention that certain pornographic Web sites are posting sexually explicit photographs and video footage on the Internet fraudulently representing that it is Christina,'' Aguilera's Web site said in a notice dubbed its "official statement on Adult Tape Rumor.''
"Christina's legal representatives have contacted the Web site hosts, and Christina plans to vigorously pursue all necessary action against the individuals responsible, including if necessary, initiating criminal proceedings,'' her Web site (https://www.Christina-A.com) said.
The video has reported to have been making the rounds on the Web via e-mail and on several adult sites, showing the back of a woman who is purportedly Aguilera.
Several celebrities including actress Alyssa Milano of the TV series ``Charmed'' have gone to court to halt the appearance of what turned out to be doctored images and staged videos featuring look-alikes.
