Jul 28, 2006 (WENN via COMTEX) -- Big-hearted pop star CHRISTINA AGUILERA is planning to launch a shelter for victims of domestic abuse.
The DIRRTY singer has already donated piles of her personal belongings to a domestic-violence and child-abuse shelter in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but she is determined to do more.
She says, "Some of these women leave their homes without anything.
"They just grab the kids and get out of the situation. And so a lot of these women have nothing, and they have to start from scratch."
Aguilera is also anxious to help rebuild victims' self-worth, "because it's really broken after they've been beaten down for so long". (ZJS/WNWCM/SC)
