Christina Aguilera - Aguilera: 'Kelly Osbourne Is In Love With Me'

Pop star CHRISTINA AGUILERA has dismissed disparaging remarks made by rocker KELLY OSBOURNE, insisting the star must be infatuated with her.

The DIRRTY hitmaker, who wed music executive JORDAN BRATMAN at the end of last year (19NOV05), can find no other explanation for Osbourne's recent spate of cruel comments.

Rather than born out of hostility, Aguilera is convinced the attention she receives is merely masking Osbourne's more romantic sentiments.

She says of the 21-year-old, "Kelly must have a crush on me because she's always saying mean things about me."
