AGUILERA's Tender Tendons

(From The Hartford Courant -- By Pat Seremet)

Singer CHRISTINA AGUILERA has denied reports that she slashed two tendons in a fight with a fan, insisting that she sustained the injury at home.

Reports had recently emerged that the singer was injured in a fight with a drunk fan in a PARIS, FRANCE NIGHTCLUB after she was seen sporting bandages on her right arm. But now Aguilera's publicist, JILL FRITZO, says the 24-year-old pop star cut her hand on a piece of glass at her LOS ANGELES AREA home. Her arm will remain in a cast for a few weeks.

Fritzo says, "It is uncomfortable and she has it in a sling to rest it." The representative has provided no further details about the incident, but she says the tabloid reports of Aguilera's supposed fight actually came from a two year old story that had been mixed up with the star's current injury, which "had nothing to do with a fan."
