Aguilera denies Playboy rumours

Christina Aguilera has denied rumours she is set to bare all in a post-pregnancy nude spread for Playboy magazine.

The 27-year-old - who gave birth to her first child, son Max, in January - was reportedly approached by editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner for a saucy shoot in an upcoming issue of the men's magazine.

But a representative for the singer has confirmed the report is "false", although a close friend of the 'Dirrty' hitmaker admits the star is "flattered" to be approached.

The pal tells America's OK! Magazine: "That was old Christina; Christina circa four years ago. She's looking to reinvent herself and grow. She wouldn't consider it but she finds it flattering to be offered at all."
