If catfights were televised, this one would certainly be a marquee matchup; Jade Jagger vs. Christina Aguilera. The lass' squared off this week in London after X-Tina allegedly made the moves on Jade's music bigwig boy toy, Pharrell Williams (of Neptunes fame). It seems that Miss A has held the torch for Williams for quite some time and claims that Jade is "just a snobby rich kid...who's not good enough for him." After Williams gazed intently at C.A. during (& after) their impromptu performance at a London nightclub Jade got all in a huff and grabbed her man and made her way to another club. The sneaky and tipsy Christina followed them and shouted within earshot, "Who is she anyway? She's no big deal. Suddenly, Jade snapped, stomped her tootsies and made a general scene. Who would win this battle?? Well, if you've seen the boxing segment in the "Dirrrrty" video then you have your answer.

Last week we ran a story about how this photo was circulating on a dating website and hopefully asked our readers if they had any information about the real identities of these two hotties. It took fewer than two hours(!) to track down one-half of this dashing duo who indeed told us that this photo was being used without their consent in a hoax that has been inflicted on more than one unsuspecting suitor. Thank you to the people who helped our lovelorn friend get to the bottom of this mystery. And although we still haven't found the real culprit behind this match.commotion, at least we were able to solve one part of the puzzle. Way to go Splendora readers!!
