Christina Aguilera & Joss Stone f**k for tracks?

Music producer Dallas Austin has apologized to Christina Aguilera and Joss Stone after claiming they offered to perform sexual favors in exchange for his work on their albums.

Austin - who has worked with Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pink, Gwen Stefani
and TLC - launched a scathing attack on the singers, telling them to stop
sleeping around.

He claimed, Joss Stone 19-year-old had sex with rapper Novel to persuade him to work
on her new album 'Introducing Joss Stone'.

Austin said in an interview Rowdy TV: "She wants attention from producers.
The problem is you got her - Joss Stone - and all these b***hes wanna f**k
for tracks.

"I had nothing to do with her f**king Novel to get her tracks. That's all
she was doing to each producer. Get your s**t together. These girls want
attention from producers and then jump ship when they don't get it.
"Talk about your records, not who you f**ked. Airing your s**t in interviews
is not sexy or cool."

Joss is reported to be currently dating Raphael Saadiq, who she collaborated
with on her new album.

In an interview with Rowdy TV, Austin accused Christina Aguilera of being so desperate to work with him, she would offer her body to him and his friends -- including Aguilera's now husband Jordan Bratman.

He said, "Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone ... all these bitches be [bleep] for tracks."

Austin now says, "My statement about Christina Aguilera and Joss Stone was a reaction to an incident I care not to discuss in any forum, and while I may have felt justified, I do owe an apology to Christina, Joss and their families.

"The comments I made were purely an act of retaliation, not of malice or cruel intent. ... I sincerely apologize as this is not my character nor should I have let anyone's actions push me to this limit."

But a representative for Aguilera claims she is considering legal action.

Cindy Gaugenti says, "She's not commenting on such ridiculous statements, and we are consulting a lawyer to explore her options."
