Christina Aguilera reportedly didn’t react well to news that photos of baby son, Max, proved a big flop for a U.S. magazine.

The Dirrty singer is thought to have secured a $1.5 million pay-day for exclusive rights to the first pictures of her little boy, but it seems that the issue of People - which ran the photos on their cover - failed to fly off news stands.

According to insiders, Christina responded to the poor sales with an almighty tantrum, during which she fired her manager, one of her assistants and PR firm, BWR.

"She went crazy," says a source tells the New York Daily News.
