Christina Aguilera's personal life has been in the spotlight a lot lately -- thanks to her divorce, new relationship, and recent public intoxication arrest -- and the singer is now speaking out about the trials of life under the "microscope."

At an event promoting her new reality show The Voice, the singer, who'll act as a judge/mentor for the program, said (via Us magazine): "We're only able to be seen through the microscope of the media and what people gossip about."

This was her first public appearance following her short jail stint, and though she didn't specifically address the incident, she talked openly about the pitfalls of fame: "You take the good with the bad. It's by telling our stories, sharing our experiences and really giving a first hand look at us as human beings [that shows] who we really are apart from what we seem to be," she added.

Christina Aguilera added that she's "ready to share" all of her lessons about fame onto the aspiring stars, and is looking to be "moved by raw talent" on the show.

Christina Aguilera Steps Out for "The Voice"

Christina Aguilera Steps Out for "The Voice"


Trying to brush off her shaky recent past, Christina Aguilera was helping to boost interest in her new gig by attending NBC's press conference for "The Voice" in Los Angeles, California.

With the event taking place at the L.A. Center Studios on Tuesday (March 15), the "Burlesque" star brightened things up in a colorful red frock as she joined up with Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and host Carson Daly.


With Aguilera taking on the duties of a singing coach, she told press of the gig, “There is no good and bad. This isn’t about tearing people down. I want to bring these people up. The Voice really does stand for what it says."

Christina added, “You can judge people based on the way they look. I love that fact we get to sit here with our backs turned away from these people and completely use just one sense to hear these voices. I’m not looking for vocal acrobatics, who has biggest range high and low. I’m looking forward to getting moved."

 Good news for Christina Aguilera! The singer will be the third member of the judging panel of the new competition singing show The Voice alongside Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5's Adam Levine.

She said in a statement: "I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it. To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms. I am so happy to be working with fellow Grammy Award winners Adam and Cee Lo as I feel there is so much we can all bring to The Voice."

The NBC show is set to rival American Idol and Simon Cowell's US X Factor when it launches in America later this year.

The Voice
is to be produced by Mark Burnett and John de Mol, who created The Voice of Holland, the Dutch show it is based on. Late night talk show host Carson Daly has been lined up to present.

Christina Aguilera Confirmed As Third Coach On “The Voice”

Christina Aguilera Confirmed As Third Coach On “The Voice”


After a rough start to her week, Christina Aguilera has some good news to share: she’s landed a new job. NBC announced this afternoon that Christina Aguilera will be joining Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green as a coach on the upcoming show “The Voice“.

They shared in a press statement:
Christina Aguilera has a once in a generation talent — her voice is phenomenally distinctive and instantly recognizable. Her journey as an artist, who started so young in the music business, will be an inspiration to the talent she coaches on the show.”
Christina Aguilera is excited about the new opportunity:
“I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it. To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists’ careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.I am so happy to be working with fellow Grammy Award winners Adam and Cee Lo as I feel there is so much we can all bring to ‘The Voice.’”
It’s a shame that this news is overshadowed by her drunken incident earlier this week, but hopefully she can get some help and move forward with her new show. It premieres April 26th.

Are you ready for a new singing competition show?

Christina Aguilera Worries Her Friends

Christina Aguilera Worries Her Friends



Following her arrest for public intoxication, Christina Aguilera looks to be in need of some serious help.
And it sounds like her friends are very concerned about the direction the “Ain’t No Other Man” singer’s life is headed.

A gal pal told press, "She's not being honest with herself. She's saying she's this strong independent woman and she's fine, but what she's not stepping back to realize is that moving on after a divorce is not easy."
"She thinks she's gotten her life together and has already moved on, when maybe she still needs to process it some more."

Another inside source is worried that Matthew Rutler is bad news for Christina. "There's a real concern about this guy, and a lot of her friends feel she needs to get away from him. Hopefully, what happened [on Tuesday] is a real wake up call."

"She is going out more and drinking more. She feels she is embracing her freedom and enjoying life … but now friends are hoping that she takes a step back and focuses on herself for a while."

Christina Aguilera is a boozehound monster

Christina Aguilera is a Boozehound Monster

wenn5584837

This Us Weekly story should only surprise Christina Aguilera’s hardcore defenders, of which there are many, as I recently found out. I assumed that Christina’s drunken shenanigans were pretty obvious to everyone, what with her flubbing the National Anthem, drunkenly falling on stage at the Grammys, bitch-fighting with Julianna Hough at the Globes, and passing out in Jeremy Renner’s bed during an industry party. Not to mention her weight gain, much of it looking like booze weight, and her general state of disarray which I tend to attribute to her always being three sheets to the wind. Plus, you know, there are multiple reports of her being a boozehound diva who threatens to fire anyone who suggests that her drunk ass might want to sober up. Still, defend away. Us Weekly has a new story about Christina’s behind-the-scenes boozing and diva shenanigans. It’s a really long story! LMAO. Here are the highlights, all from Us Weekly’s print edition:

*Christina spends most of her time “boozing it up with new boyfriend Matthew Rutler.” A friend of Christina’s says: “Her drinking is out of control” and that Christina has become “less attentive” to her son Max. Oh, and Christina is “alienating most of her friends and leaving the rest of them worried… She’s a total mess.”

*Us Weekly has extensive details about all of Christina’s public boozing post-split from Jordan Bratman, including the beginning of her courtship with Rutler, which seemed to only take place in bars.

*The full-blown boozing started during the Burlesque international tour. A source close to Rutler says: “Every city they went to - London, Tokyo - Christina was pretty drunk, and Matt had to carry her home.”

*On New Year’s Eve, “Christina was so wasted before her guests arrived [for a party] that her mother told her to lie down and sober up,” says a source. “Christina yelled, ‘Who do you think you are?’ Then she called her brother’s girlfriend a whore. It was crazy!” LMAO. Christina is so much fun, for real.

*Re: The Renner-bed incident. Us Weekly reiterates that it actually did happen - Christina showed up to Jeremy Renner’s birthday party (“uninvited”) and got so trashed she climbed into his bed. Renner was overheard telling people the story, and he’s quoted as saying “Who comes to someone’s birthday party that they don’t know and gets in their f–cking bed?” A source says: “Christina was a disaster and acting like a total fool.”

*Another day - January 25, Christina is “knocking back vodka sodas” at The Dime. She’s “crying uncontrollably” and complaining to her bodyguard that Bratman refuses to leave their home. “She was hysterical.”

*When her team tried to stage an intervention, “Christina found out and threatened to fire everyone.”

*After the SuperBowl, Christina stayed in Dallas for two days. “She drank and was devastated by her humiliating performance.”

*Three-year-old Max spends a lot of time with his dad and with the nanny. Christina is “a loving and devoted mom… but she doesn’t spend a ton of time with him. If she knows she is leaving town, she will take him on some big outing, like Disneyland, because she feels guilty. Jordan is much more stable.”

*Sources credit Jordan Bratman for keeping Christina under control for so long. A source says, “She was still a huge drinker, but he kept her under control so people didn’t know how bad it was.”

*An insider says Christina and Rutler had sex ina bathroom at a recent family gathering: “Her friends are fed up. Nobody can get through to her. They think she’s trashy. And her ego is out of control.”

*Christina’s main source of income: her perfume lines. Not her albums, not her tours, not her acting.

*Differing views about what’s next for Christina. A Rutler source says “I think she’s just going through a phase, we’ve all been through a breakup where we went crazy.” A source close to Christina says: “She’s really spiraling. I would be shocked if she’s not in rehab in the next month or so.”

So… yeah. Christina is a mess. I’ve felt that way for a while. But if there are Christina Defenders out there, I’ll listen. Explain all of this to me. Explain to me how she’s not a complete disaster who seriously needs help.

I will give Christina a little bit of credit though - that one story about calling her brother’s girlfriend a whore is hysterical. The Renner story is funny too, or it would be if Christina was younger. At her age, she really should be able to hold her liquor.
