• Despite her often feisty reputation, Aguilera stands at a pocket-sized 5ft 2in, which is a useful fact for anyone considering an impromptu kidnapping.
• She’s one of the most successful artists of the decade, shifting more than 37 million records worldwide.
• Aguilera was reportedly paid $1.5 million for her baby pictures, joining an elite club for whom having a child is a profit-making exercise.
