CHRISTINA AGUILERA - AGUILERA STILL 'SORE' AFTER GIVING BIRTH

Pop star CHRISTINA AGUILERA is revelling in her new role as a mum, but is still suffering from the pain of childbirth. The Beautiful singer and her husband Jordan Bratman welcomed little Max Liron Bratman into the world at 10.05pm on Saturday (12Jan08) after doctors at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center delivered the baby via caesarian section. But Aguilera is reportedly still "really sore" six days after the birth. A source tells E! News, "It (childbirth) was more painful than she thought." However, the source adds the 27-year-old star - who is now resting at her Beverly Hills home - has not let her discomfort stop her from singing lullabies to the tot. And after spending months refusing to confirm or deny her pregnancy last year (07), Aguilera has also decided to keep photographs of her newborn under wraps - she's allegedly turned down an offer in excess of $1 million (GBP500,000) from America's OK! magazine to secure the rights to the baby's first cover shot.
