Rankin has called Christina Aguilera a “diva from hell”.
The legendary photographer – who has shot a string of celebrities, including Kate Moss, Madonna and Lindsay Lohan – worked with the ‘Beautiful’ singer in 2007, and claims it was not enjoyable.
He explained to Britain’s Closer magazine: “Christina was a diva from hell and pure torture to be around. She’s so self-obsessed.”
Rankin alleges the now 28-year-old star was concerned about being photographed by paparazzi, and constantly had minders with her.
He said: “She insisted her chauffeur drive her indoors into the studio so she wasn’t papped – even though there was nobody outside. Then she crashed my after-party and her bodyguard stood outside the bathroom shouting. ‘Nobody but Christina uses this toilet!’ She’s a joke!”
A retrospective of Rankin’s work is currently being staged in London, as is a series of pictures of everyday people Rankin has taken.
Speaking about the project called ‘Shoot me, Rankin!’, the photographer said: “If I could photograph everyone in the world it would be amazing.
“Imagine that – everyone in the world on a database of photography, not simply to recognise people, but as an understanding of human beings. It would be great.”

I love christina, shes the most amazing vocalist on this planet. Just get over it, all u haters need to show some respect. Leave her alone.
christina is so amazing i could careless if this was true even though im sure its not….she’s the most under apreciated artis she devers respect so bow down bitches!!!!!!
LEGENDTINA!!! shes allowed to be a DIVA!! Rankin should be honoured that he even got that close to her in the first place!
Give me a break. Isn’t this old news. Seriously you people must not have anything to write about. Christina could be as Diva as she want’s to be. What does that Beyonce song say…?
christina issues like that is pretty old by now and I’m just bored with the topic. It’s just that it comes with the territory, Chrissy is doing her thing, and this photo genius as he or she calls him/herself, is doing his/her thing, and that’s it. Keep it up Chrissy haters, this makes her a Figther and stronger!
Give it up, fanbots! We all know Christina never got anywhere because she’s an arrogant, stuck up bitch! I admire strong women, but there’s no reason to behave like a spoiled diva and a tyrant. This is one of the many reasons why Britney is more popular and more famous. She may be a bit messed up, but she’s always been nice and pleasant to be around and she’s gorgeous. Christina can’t even shine Britney’s shoes. She’s just a jealous, nasty little ‘ho!
*LOVE YOU, BRITNEY!!!*
Chriss compared to Britney? No way. they got different genres. Britney can’t sing, not to mention she is in the industry of singing, …i pity her…. but i love her though….she rocks the boat. So Vanessa, get lost darling ‘coz Chriss will be strutling her stuff all the way….watch out!! lol
She’s allowed to be a Diva, and why didn’t Rankin mention this two years ago? He brought it up now because he needs the publicity so people can go and see his artwork. And Vanessa…people can like Christina a little more than Britney, but can still love both. Go take your childish comments out of here, you make real brit fans ashamed.
Exactly Estevan. I keen on both of them, because I can’t find any similarities stuck between them. They got differences and imperfections at which I find irresistible. Vanessa girl sweetheart, try yoga. You might lose that understanding. Good luck girl!
It’s a lie, plain and simple. I love this hottie, she’s nice and sweet. These damn articles always like to make my woman look bad. Christina is a very talented singer, dancer, and she’s smokin’ hot too. Jordan is the luckiest man on earth.
why is there not more attention brought to the positive projects and causes christina is involved in? how about the new cd, her movie that’s in the works, her new perfume line and her many benefit projects? many want to keep the primary focus on the negative when it comes to her. the term ‘diva’ wasn’t created solely to describe christina. so give her a break!!!
The way people go on and on about Christina Aguilera is nauseating. What gives someone with an AMAZING AMOUNT OF TALENT the right to act like a 24 karat B–ch? She was gifted with her voice and instead acts like a brat and then is excused for it. She’s a diva, a snotty, spoiled self entitled jerk. Want proof? In an interview, someone in the room barely coughed and she basically sneered and made a statement like: really, you just coughed during my interview, are you serious..’ google it and watch for yourself and no she wasn’t kidding. Now, on the show The Voice she’s so competative with Adam Levine her nastiness is coming through.
