Back in October 2004 we reported that Christina Aguilera was to appear in The Simpsons. Now that the episode in question, A Star Is Torn, has come and gone, we seem to have left that piece of news slip away from us, but what became of it? It has come to hand that Aguilera turned down the cameo after all. The sexy star was offered a part in the latest series of the show but snubbed the offer. Producers had wanted the singer to play an aspiring pop star competing in a parody of US TV talent show ‘American Idol’. However, Christina, 24, rejected the part forcing producers to look elsewhere. A month later we reported that Fantasia Barrino had recorded the scenes, and now that the episode has been nominated for an emmy we’re wondering if Aguilera is regretting her decision.
