Christina Aguilera is reportedly vying for the role of pin-up icon Jeanne Carmen in a new biopic.

Internet fansite jeannecarmen.com claims the pop superstar has been added to the list of hopefuls who are being considered for the lead in a new movie.

But Aguilera will have some stiff competition - Scarlett Johanssen and Catherine Zeta-Jones are also in contention.

Carmen was dubbed 'the queen of the B-movies' in the 1950s for her work in films like War Drums and Untamed Youth.
