"The bump has many uses! Christina Aguilera used her pregnant tummy as a prop in adorable new photos promoting the Tuesday, Aug. 5 launch of the World Hunger Relief&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Pass the Red Cup&amp;quot; challenge.\r\nIn the sweet snapshots, the pregnant star, 33, wears a denim jacket and white dress that cascades over her burgeoning bump. Aguilera, who&amp;apos;s served as a global spokesperson for WHR (which benefits the U.N. World Food Programme) since 2009, uses her belly as a table top to write a message on a cup.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe star is challenging her fans to&amp;#xA0;#PassTheRedCup&amp;#xA0;on social media, which looks to fight global hunger.\r\n\r\nIn a blog post for Huffington Post, Aguilera explained why this cause in particular was so important. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s heartbreaking to me that in our social media driven, increasingly-connected world, nearly 850 million people go to bed hungry each night,&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;And this includes far too many children. It&amp;apos;s a subject so close to my heart and has been for a long time, being a mom.&amp;quot;\r\nAguilera reflected on her time in Rwanda, where she spent time at a refugee camp. &amp;quot;They told me how they escaped violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo,&amp;quot; she recalled of the people. &amp;quot;Their courage and hope for a better life was incredible. On my trip, I served food to kids who walk miles to and from school each day to receive a hot meal. I also went to Haiti after the earthquake hit a few years ago and saw its devastating effects on many families. Kids there were so happy just to get rice and beans from WFP.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nLike her first pregnancy, Aguilera has been eagerly baring her bump (and her body!). The Voice mentor recently stripped down for a new issue of V magazine, where she said: &amp;quot;As a woman, I&amp;apos;m proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUs broke the news that the singer and fiance Matt Rutler were expecting their first kid together. Aguilera is already mom to 6-year-old Max, her son with ex-husband Jordan Bratman."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
