Pink tweet:
Out of Myself, Britney, and Christina- didn't everyone think I was gonna be the troublemaker? LOOK MA!!! No CUFFS!!!

I LOVE Pink in so many ways, but this is a highly unnecessary low blow from Pink. When personal demons cause a celebrity to fall and suddenly folks come out of the woodwork to continue the beating, I can only shake my head.

Don't get me wrong: I love a lot of Pink's outspokenness and honesty with respect to her career and with respect to "events" in the industry (such as Kanye's treatment of Taylor Swift). That being said, regardless of what bad blood Christina and Pink have had in the past, she should have taken the high road for a 30 year old woman (and mother-to-be), IMO, since Christina's irresponsible behaviour had ZERO negative impact on her/her family, her career/the music industry, or others (save her child)....

Seeing tweets like that make me appreciate artists like Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, etc. more...

[Love Plastic Love]

I love Pink too, but it always surprises me how much leeway she is given to say whatever she wants and people excuse it. Like, can you imagine if Christina had tweeted that about Britney when Britney was sick or if Lady Gaga/Kelly Clarkson had posted that? There would already be 10 page topics wishing for their deaths and shrieking hysterically about what bitches they are and how their egos are out of control and how everyone hopes they flop. But with Pink its LOL Pink rocks she is so funny and outspoken!!!!

Like, whatever she did she did it correctly-she can be herself without having people attack her where other pop stars cannot.

Christina Aguilera Out-Train-Wrecks Britney Spears by Getting Arrested

Posted Tue Mar 1, 2011 7:05am PST
by Caryn Ganz in Amplifier


During her darkest period, Britney Spears was dragged to the hospital for observation, lost custody of her children, smashed a paparazzo's car with an umbrella, spent all her late-night hours in drugstores, and spoke in a British accent. She did not, however, get arrested.

Christina Aguilera has been arrested, just a few weeks into her dark period. The 30-year-old singer was busted with her boyfriend early this morning in Los Angeles. TMZ reports 25-year-old Matthew Rutler was taken in for driving under the influence and held on $30,000 bail; Aguilera was booked for public intoxication, which a source tells the website meant she was "extremely intoxicated" and "unable to take care of herself." The star has since been released from custody (she was fingerprinted and placed in a cell) and will not be prosecuted for the misdemeanor, L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore tells TMZ.

TMZ lists Aguilera's height and weight at the time of her arrest at 5'2" and 100 pounds. While this seems like an obnoxious detail to include (and one the website might not publish for a comparable male star), it does indicate the singer's fragile physical state -- according to those figures, her body mass index is 18.3, which falls in the "underweight" range.

Based on the limited details available at press time, it appears that Aguilera's mega-drunkenness was only discovered because of Rutler's DUI arrest, though her behavior has become increasingly erratic in recent weeks. The singer filed for divorce from husband Jordan Bratman in October, forgot the words to the National Anthem in early February, and stumbled (after belting a tribute to Aretha Franklin) at the Grammys two weeks ago.

The singer's downward spiral began last summer, when Aguilera's first album in four years, "Bionic," failed to catch on with fans. (The LP has not yet gone gold, meaning it has sold less than 500,000 copies; all her previous English language studio releases have sold platinum -- more than 1 million copies.) A "Bionic" tour was nixed, reportedly so Aguilera could rehearse more and focus on promoting the film "Burlesque," though industry experts theorized soft ticket sales were likely more to blame. Aguilera never rescheduled the dates, and "Burlesque" eventually underwhelmed at the box office, taking in less than $40 million domestically despite a big promotional push around the film's Aguilera/Cher pairing. One of the songs Aguilera cowrote for the film, "Bound to Me," did go on to be nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song, but wound up losing to another track from the same movie: "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," which was written by Diane Warren and performed by Cher.

Christina Aguilera and her boyfriend drank at least one -- possibly two -- bottles of expensive wine at a famous L.A. restaurant just hours before they were arrested ... TMZ has learned.



We've confirmed ... Aguilera and Matt Rutler had a late-night dinner date at Mario Batali's restaurant Osteria Mozza ... where they hung out in the private dining room past midnight.

We're told one of the restaurant patrons recognized Christina and asked the server to send her a drink ... but the server replied, "She's already drinking a bottle of wine... or two."

The patron sent over a dessert instead.

So far, no word on when Aguilera and her BF left the joint -- but sources who were at the restaurant tell us the couple got their entrees AFTER midnight ... when the place was closing down to the public.

As TMZ first reported, the couple was arrested around 2:45 AM this morning -- cops say Matt was driving drunk and Xtina was too drunk to take care of herself.

Gross. She needs to ditch that leech of a man. She's a drunken mess right now, and has been for months.

she really is, ever since the divorce she's just been letting herself go on all fronts. she's passing out at parties, f**king in public bathrooms, getting sh*tfaced wasted with her boyfriend who is risking both their lives drunk driving and she has a child at home i don't ever remember her acting out like this even in the "stripped" days honestly..

she is really cracking and it actually worried me when they said she had to stay in the drunk cell because she had no-one to take care of her...

[QAF]

I wonder if it is the divorce, the career disappointments or both.

I noticed she's not with Max as much as she used to be either, even before all the drunk talk. She's always out with her stupid boyfriend and once in a while has Max with her. Jordan always has Max and seems like the better and more fit parent at thee moment.

Christina Aguilera's "Drinking Is Out of Control"

[/size]

The songstress, 30, was busted for public drunkenness in the wee hours of Tuesday morning in West Hollywood; she was the passenger in a car driven by her beau Matthew Rutler, who was arrested for driving under the influence.

PHOTOS: Biggest star meltdowns

"When she got out of the car, she couldn't stand. We had to help her stand," L.A. County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells UsMagazine.com. "She didn't know where she was and she didn't know her own address. We took her into custody for her own protection."

After passing a sobriety test, Aguilera was released from custody around 7:30 a.m. Although she was slapped with a misdemeanor charge, the star will not be prosecuted, Whitmore explained. (The case against Rutler, who released on bail, is ongoing.)

"It was an arrest for her own safety...It is a public welfare issue. She was incapacitated and not able to take care of herself."

VIDEO: Her Grammys slipup

"Her drinking is out of control," an Aguilera confidante recently told Us Weekly. "She's a total mess." The Burlesque star -- who famously flubbed the National Anthem at the Super Bowl Feb. 6 and nearly fell off the stage at the Grammys one week later -- has been unraveling in the wake of her split from husband Jordan Bratman and a series of career disappointments.

Among Aguilera's alcohol-fueled antics:

A boozy international press tour for Burlesque in December. "Every city they went to -- London, Tokyo -- Christina was pretty drunk, and Matt had to carry her home".

PHOTOS: Her adorable son Max

The inebriated singer and her mom, Shelly Kearns, got into a heated fight in her $11.5 million home on New Year's Eve. "Christina was so wasted before her guests arrived that her mother told her to lie down and sober up," another insider says. "Christina then yelled 'Who do you think you are?' It was crazy!"

After crashing actor Jeremy Renner's star-studded birthday bash at his Beverly Hills pad on Jan. 8, she got "wasted" and climbed into his bed -- enraging Renner, who griped about the incident to pals at the Golden Globes.

PHOTOS: Christina and Jordan's time together

At L.A. club The Dime on Jan. 25, Aguilera was downing vodka sodas and "crying uncontrollably" about tensions with ex Bratman, 33, a witness says.[/quote]


A mess. It's really interesting to me how similar her behavior and circumstances are to Britney Spears' in late 2006. I thought the recent career failures might have been the cause for her acting out recently but now I'm going with the divorce.

[remix]

Christina Aguilera's arrest with current beau Matthew Rutler will not impact her custody agreement with ex-husband Jordan Bratman regarding their son Max, according to custody specialist Michael Kelly.
Kelly tells X17online exclusively:
"Fortunately for Christina Aguilera, she wasn't driving. The event had nothing to do with the child. The child wasn't present. There was no innate nor overt behavior reflecting on her parenting abilities."
As for whether Max's dad Jordan Bratman will be able to keep Matthew Rutler from seeing his son, Kelly adds:
"Courts do not ban the birth person's significant other from seeing the child. However, the other parent can order 'no alcohol or drugs for 24 hours' before the parent in question or her boyfriend sees the child.
There is no chance this incident will affect the custodial litigation in this case. There has to be a significant trend of behavior indicating the parent is a bad caregiver. One bad night out isn't going to change anything."
At the time of their separation five months ago, Christina had sought joint legal and physical custody. However in court papers filed last month, the couple said they had privately come to an agreement regarding custody of 2-year-old son Max.

Agreed. I've been a fan since '99, so I really, really hate to see her like this. Hopefully this incident (and the enormous amount of negative press that it's yielded) will be her wake-up call.

[QAF]

I don't feel for her at all. She's 30 years old for God's sake. She's a mother of a two year old. She's rich and famous. She should know better but she has chosen to make bad decissions. She needs to drop that loser of a guy.

Steve Antin about Burlesque box office WW results

"Back when 'Moulin Rouge!' and 'Chicago' came out, it seemed like the movie-musical had made an official comeback in Hollywood. Now that's sort of stalled. Do you think there's still a place in Hollywood for the genre?

Unquestionably. I don't see that it's stalled at all. Like, where? I mean, 'Burlesque' is creeping up towards $100 million worldwide.

That's a lot of money ... I wouldn't say it's a genre that's dying. There are a lot of musicals [that] people are talking about every day. There are fewer movies being made on the whole, obviously, so it might feel like that. [Laughs]"
