Christina Aguilera Mugshot Pictures and Photos Noticeably Absent

Christina Aguilera mugshot pictures and photos are noticeably absent from the web on the eve of her recent arrest. According to TMZ, Aguilera and her boyfriend were both arrested last last night for separate charges. Aguilera was allegedly riding in the car with her boyfriend Matthew Rutler when they were pulled over by police. Aguilera was arrested for public intoxication, even though she was just a passenger in the car, while boyfriend Matthew Rutler was arrested for driving under the influence. Perhaps one of the most odd parts of the coverage of the national story is the lack of a Christina Aguilera mugshot picture or photo. Fans typically know the drill these days. When someone is arrested, a celebrity mugshot is usually the natural first reaction from online seekers.

But the mugshot is noticeably absent from media outlets this afternoon. A Matthew Rutler mugshot is available already on TMZ. Is there any explanation why a Matthew Rutler mugshot was quickly available and the Christina Aguilera picture was not-especially since both were arrested during the same incident? It seems inevitable that a Christina Aguilera mugshot will make the rounds eventually if it exists. TMZ, US Magazine or another media outlet will probably be one of the first publications to land the picture if such a picture exists. Did police take the picture or is the release of it just being delayed? These are questions that are always interesting when the news gathering process takes place following such an arrest. It seems sometimes the info is so quickly available that it would make your head spin. But other times the info, or in this case the Christina Aguilera mugshot, is slow to be disseminated. How that changes from situation to situation is one of the questions that will never be answered. Different departments in different states handle things differently-especially when it pertains to celebrity mugshots.

Why is there such interest for such a picture anyway? It's rare that fans get the very unique glance at a celebrity when their guard is down. A celebrity mugshot offers that opportunity. Mugshot pictures of other actors and actresses have often provided fans with a "look" from that respective individual without the advantages of make up, combing hair or just getting things fixed as we all tend to do before pictures. In other words, it's the most natural look you may ever see from a celebrity. That's probably a small portion of an explanation as to why fans are intrigued with the mugshot

And who is Matthew Rutler? Rutler was a production assistant who met Aguilera on the set of the movie Burlesque. Rutler is relatively unknown and this is probably not the way he had envisioned breaking out into the public eye. Rutler was a quick riser on Google Hot Trends and perhaps his connection to Christina Aguilera in this incident will forever be etched into the depths of internet blogs, stories and columns.

Will we finally see a Christina Aguilera mugshot on Wednesday? If the information is retrievable, it's undoubtedly going to appear somewhere-whether TMZ, PopEater, US Magazine or whatever. Those types of pics(celebrity mugshots) are just too in demand to disappear into oblivion.
