Christina Aguilera's Hollywood hopes

Jun 26, 2007, 11:30 GMT

Christina Aguilera wants to swap singing for acting.

The 'Dirrty' singer is ready to embark on a Hollywood career and is currently reading scripts to find the perfect role.

Speaking at a press conference in Shanghai ahead of her first concert in China tonight (26.06.07), Christina said: "I am looking forward to moving into another creative outlet and that outlet is acting.

"It is something that, when I attempt to do it, I want to do it right so it's important for me that I do choose the right first role for myself."

However, the 26-year-old star doesn't want to give up singing for good, and is already coming up with song ideas for her next album.

Christina has promised her fans it will be a complete overhaul from the sound of her most recent LP 'Back to Basics', which was heavily influenced by jazz.

She said: "It will be completely different. We're going to keep it short and sweet this time."

Last year, Christina was rumoured to be in line to play 50s pin-up Jeanne Carmen - who was known as the "queen of the B-movies" - in a biopic of her life.

However, the proposed role never materialised.
