According to the entertainment rumor mill this weekend, Late Show host David Letterman may secure the first interview with Christina Aguilera after last weekend’s much-publicized Super Bowl debacle, where Aguilera infamously botched the national anthem before a worldwide audience of 100 million.

Tonight, Aguilera will return to national television for the 2011 Grammy Awards, where she will take part in the Aretha Franklin tribute along with Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welch, Yolanda Adams and Martina McBride.David Letterman, who reportedly enjoys a closer relationship with Aguilera than Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and others in the late night line up, has allegedly reached out to Aguilera and may land the booking this week, according to sources who shared the tidbit with mainstream media this weekend.

Letterman’s show of support for Christina Aguilera with a “friendly interview” would represent one of the few gracious opportunities Aguilera has received during the past week. On Monday, fellow Super Bowl performer Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas came to Christina Aguilera’s defense, following what many fans are describing as the most embarrassing moment of Aguilera’s career. Hours after her controversial performance, Aguilera apologized to the world saying “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”
