Christina AguileraChristina Aguilera has canceled her two remaining concerts in Australia after doctors say she was diagnosed with "a viral upper respiratory tract infection with a high fever and abnormal coughing." Yuck!

The songstress, rumored to be preggo with her first child, is Down Under to wrap up her huge world tour. In a statement through her rep to TMZ , Christina apologized to her Aussie fans, saying "I want to personally apologize to all of my fans for having to cancel my last two shows here in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus. This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won't be able to share my show with you all. Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time."

The tour's promoter said, "Christina is a real trouper. She is a talented artist who puts her all into her concerts and she is devastated that she can't perform her remaining concerts in Melbourne."

Doctors have ordered Mrs. Bratman to rest in bed.

Mama needs to get better!

2. Now this is one girl that really is a star. She treats her fans with respect as well as conducting herself like a lady. Kudoos to a talented young lady with brains. Best of luck with your new baby. Take care of your health.

5. Even though she's a skank, she doesn't flaunt it like these other ho's. And SHE is actually talented. But she'd better leave Mariah alone...she doesn't have THAT much talent.

8. After seeing her first raunchy videos years ago, who in their right mind would have ever thought that she would have more class in her pinky than her pop star rival (at the time) Britney. But I'm out of the loop. Is Christina Married? If so, it's cool for her to be pregnant and canceling jobs. But, if she's still a single girl, well then, that would be a different story. She does have a "Tramp Stamp", doesn't she?

10. Class, schmass! She doesn't need to be slutty now that she's rollin' in the dough. I don't think it's right that nowadays the sluttier a woman looks the more $attention$ she gets but sadly it's true. I remember with her CD "Dirrty"....nothin' classy about how she looked in her videos AT ALL!

11. She had her boobs done, so she lost my respect there. Those 'white outfits' she is sporting at her concerts are horrifically tacky. And she thinks she's some old-time movie star from the 30's and she's not. I'm sure all the people backin her are the same people who trashed her when she came out with her dirty phase. She shouldn't even be compared to Britney because that girl has lost all her marbles.

12. Is that real fur or what?!?!?! i dont want to call her names before i know for sure.....

Posted at 1:05PM on Jul 31st 2007 by whoa stop the presses

13. First of all there is no "respiratory infection". I guarantee it's because of her pregnancy. Maybe she is high risk or something. Secondly, whoever mentioned Faith Hill needs to lay off the crack. What does she have to do with this story? Some chick grabbed her man's nuts right in front of her. Tell me you wouldn't have reacted the same way!!?! Personally, I would have jumped off that stage and beat a bitch bloody.

14. i've always wanted to discuss this issue after Britney shaved her head off.

Christina was the FIRST person to EVER publicly come out and say that she thinks Britney needs help and is a lost girl. She said this back in 2003, and the media had a field day afterwards. Her fans, Britney fans, and the press attacked Christina for saying such things and claimed that she was just jealous because Britney was getting more attention. Britney retaliated by saying that Christina is 'Dark'.

Anways, Christina was not only right, SHE WAS 100% RIGHT !!!

A mere two months after that quote, Britney got hitched in Vegas. Then she met Keven Federline and they quickly got married and banged out two kids back to back, and Britneys trashy trailer park image kept getting worse. Then there were rumors of the drugs, then the divorce from Kevin Federline which made her party with Paris Hilton, and then more drugs, and finally, shaving her head off and straight into rehab.

Christina was right. She should be credited as the first person to realize that Britney had a problem. Britneys problem started back in 2002, right after the Justin Timberlake break up. That's when Britney finally lost it. At that point the media still saw her as a singer, but she was just very tabloidy. It wasn't until that VMA night in 03 when Britney proved her point. She proved to the whole world that her public antics comes first, then her music, by kissing Madonna rather than performing something new off of her album. It was that final straw, that Madonna kiss, that sent Britneys career into the Grave, along with her sanity. After that, no one cared about Britneys career anymore, all they cared about was her outrageous behavior. 'Toxic' was like her one last hoorah before her career went south. She needed that, but it really didn't do much for her.

Good call Christina.

Really, really good call. If only people listened to you back in 2003 about Britney, she wouldn't be in this situation today. At least you tried.
