With Hill's recent tax trouble and impending sentencing, we doubt a family reunion is in the cards anytime soon. (Photo: RevolutionPix / PacificCoastNews.com)

Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutledge - For a while, it seemed like Aguilera had won the battle of the blonde pop tarts, recognized for her enduring talent and her stable home life with husband Jordan Bratman and baby Max.
