Despite the trouble surrounding pop star Christina Aguilera in recent weeks, Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the singer is launching a new fragrance.
On March 3 Christina did a photo shoot for her new perfume, Jack and CokeSecret Potion. Her son Max was on set with his mom, an insider close to Christina tells Life & Style.
“He wasn’t feeling good, so she wanted to take care of him and make sure they were together,” the insider reveals.“She’s trying to spend as much time as possible with him while she works, so Max brought his toys and played with his little cars while she did the shoot.”
This is one of the many perfume launches for Christina, her last was Royal Desire released in September 2010.
A day after her embarrassing arrest for being publicly intoxicated, Christina Aguilera has been named a musician coach on NBC’s upcoming musical competition The Voice.
Aguilera was officially announced as the third judge on NBC’s “The Voice,” their new singing competition reality show meant to rival Fox’s “American Idol”. She joins Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine of Maroon 5, potentially giving the new upstart a more popular judging panel. In fact, they won’t only judge, but they’ll coach the contestants, too.
The show is to be produced by Mark Burnett and John de Mol, who created “The Voice of Holland,” the Dutch television obsession that the show will be based on. Carson Daly is set to host.
In a statement, Aguilera said:
“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.mI 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’.”
While the mug shot wasn’t officially released following Christina Aguilera’s arrest over the weekend (because police never charged her with anything) the detectives over at E! caught a glimpse.
It’s such a sad mug shot, isn’t it?
Christina was arrested early Monday morning, along with her boyfriend in West Hollywood, for public intoxication and driving under the influence.
Police say Christina was being driven by her boyfriend, who was drunk around 2:45 am yesterday. While Matthew was being arrested, cops noticed that Christina was too drunk to care for herself, so they arrested her for public intoxication.
According to TMZ, friends and business associates of Christina’s have been begging her to check into rehab for months.
As one source put it, “Maybe when she was married she was able to keep it under wraps, but it’s out in the open now.”
And we’ve learned … Christina’s drinking became an issue in her divorce. Jordan Bratman voiced concern about Christina’s drinking when they hashed out their child custody agreement but they ultimately agreed on joint custody.
We’re told Jordan has been mum since yesterday’s arrest. It’s unclear if he’ll try and reopen the custody case.
We’re told Christina has shut down all attempts to get her into rehab … at least until yesterday.
Christina Aguilera was arrested early this morning along with her boyfriend in West Hollywood, TMZ has learned. Christina was arrested for public intoxication and her boyfriend was arrested for driving under the influence.
Aguilera was arrested at 2:45 AM and booked at the West Hollywood Sheriff’s substation on a misdemeanor charge.
On the booking report, Aguilera was listed at 5’2″ and 100 pounds.
Aguilera’s 25-year-old boyfriend Matthew Rutler was also arrested last night at the same time for a misdemeanor offense.
According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, Rutler’s bail was set at $30,000.
Law enforcement sources tell us Aguilera appeared to be “extremely intoxicated” and was “unable to take care of herself.”
However, the source adds, “If the driver had NOT been arrested for DUI, [Christina] would have never been in trouble.”
Sources close to Xtina tell us they have been trying to get the singer into a rehab program for weeks.
We’re told cops initially pulled over Rutler after they noticed he was driving erratically.
At a recent family gathering, US Weekly reports that Christina Aguilera and new beau Matthew Rutler had sex in a bathroom.
“Her friends are fed up,” the source says of Aguilera’s recent antics. “Nobody can get through to her. They think she’s trashy. And her ego is out of control.”
Adds the source: “She’s really spiraling. I would be shocked if she’s not in rehab in the next month or two.”
Hmm… not sure how I feel about this story. If the worst thing she’s done is have sex with her boyfriend in a bathroom, then I’m not sure how she needs rehab.
Poor Christina Aguilera! Following her disastrous performance at the Super Bowl last week some said performing at the Grammy’s was her do-over. She performed a tribute to Aretha Franklin alongside Martina McBride, Jennifer Hudson, and Florence Welch, singing “Ain’t No Way” flawlessly.
Once she was done performing, she fell as she was trying to leave the stage. Watch the video above (I totally missed it last night!).
