Aguilera performed with Maroon 5 of "Moves Like Jagger" on Sunday night in Los Angeles for the AMAs wearing a tiny bandage dress by Herve Leger and Christian Louboutin heels.

(Getty Images) more pics Christina Aguilera (Getty Images) Christina Aguilera probably isn't pregnant, but she definitely looked extra curvy at the AMAs Sunday night. The blonde star came out for the "Moves Like Jagger" performance with Adam Levine and her tight white dress looked like it was hugging a baby bump. Hmm. The songstress has been dating Matthew Rutler since last year, but it seems a little odd that she'd choose not to conceal a baby bump if there was one. So, that leads us to believe the dress was unflattering, not covering a pregnant belly. But, that didn't stop people from questioning if there's a bun in the oven on Twitter. Now if she comes out next week and admits she is in fact going to have another baby, we'll be quite shocked. Do you think Aguilera looked pregnant at the Americ
