Christina Aguilera Arrested Rumors Break After Public Intoxication

Christina Aguilera arrested news has flooded the blogosphere. If the Christina Aguilera arrested reports are true, it would be the worst setback yet for the singer, and the climax to an ugly month. February started when she mixed up the lyrics for the Super Bowl national anthem. A week later, she fell on the Grammy stage at the end of a tribute to Aretha Franklin. Yet those ordeals could be laughed off, although the Christina Aguilera arrested incident likely can't be dismissed so easily - even if she was just taken in custody.

According to West Hollywood police, the music superstar and her current boyfriend were pulled over at 2:45 am California time today. Matthew Rutler was the alleged driver, while his passenger was supposedly "extremely intoxicated."

Although the Christina Aguilera arrested rumors are embarrassing, they may be misleading. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department stated that she was just taken into custody, since she was unable to care for herself.

Once she is no longer drunk, she is expected to be released without criminal charges, according to Sheriff's Deputy Bill McSweeney. However, Rutler is suspected of driving under the influence, with bail set at $30,000.

But the Christina Aguilera arrested suspicions and headlines are the major talking point, instead of the actual drunk driver. This has been a difficult month for the singer, and not just for her recent TV appearances. TMZ claims that her friends have been trying to get her into rehab for weeks, yet she has refused.

However, this morning's event could serve as a wake-up call - or might at least step up her friends' efforts. She wasn't behind the wheel and wasn't charged with anything, but without help, she might not be so lucky next time.

Yet the Christina Aguilera arrested reports do serve as a break from the constant Charlie Sheen updates. For days, he has dominated the headlines as the most disastrous star of the moment, but now someone else is sharing the scandal sheets. What's more, she has actually been intoxicated and taken in by police, whereas Sheen has actually avoided that fate so far.

While the Christina Aguilera arrested headline is a big misleading, the fact that she was taken into custody is revealing enough. She may indeed need more help pretty soon, although Alcoholics Anonymous has been taking a rather big hit in the press lately.
