Christina Aguilera was ready to put her drunken arrest behind her and get back to work last night as she started filming her new music video.
The singer was spotted leaving Smashbox Studios in Hollywood in a little black robe and jumped into a limousine to head home, which marked her first public appearance since being arrested early Tuesday morning.
Despite her bad start to the year, the 30-year-old singer had a cheeky grin on her face as she slipped out of the studio.
But not even Christina’s heavily piled on fake tan and mahogany lipstick could disguise the trouble in the singer’s personal life.
The mother-of-one faced an embarrassing arrest for public intoxication earlier this week, because she ‘was not capable of taking care of herself’.
Her arrest came amidst U.S. media reports saying the star’s friends have been encouraging her to enter rehab for some time.
Since her marriage breakdown last year, Aguilera has been under a noticeable about of strain and after a disastrous Super Bowl performance in February, where she mixed up the words to the National Anthem, and collapsing on stage at the Grammy Awards, fears for her health have only escalated.
But the Burlesque actress is trying to put her troubles in the background while she gets her mind back on her career.
Christina has signed a deal with NBC to appear in a new reality television show called The Voice, which aims to find musical talent.
She will join rapper and record producer Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine as a music coach on the show.
The Dirrty singer expressed her joy about the new show, saying: ‘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.’
Perhaps the star was celebrating her new TV role the night she was arrested for public intoxication, which saw her being taken in by police at around 2:45am on Tuesday.
Her boyfriend Matthew Rutler was also arrested for driving under the influence in Los Angeles but left jail on a $30,000 bail.
Aguilera was Rutler’s passenger and the couple were pulled over when police caught the 25-year-old driving dangerously.
Steve Whitmore, the chief public information officer for the Los Angeles Sheriffs department said of the recent arrest: ‘The [police] witnessed a person driving erratically.
‘At 2:45am this morning a gentleman was stopped for allegedly driving under the influence. He was subsequently arrested and his passenger, Ms Aguilera, she was arrested.’

she didnt collapse she slipped at the grammys get the facts straight before you posts this as news.
These articles are written by others (Daily Mail UK in this case as you can read). We always know that Christina did not fall. But this is what everybody writes and reads in the web. We must know it and we can only take note of this sad fact: people have fun when somebody falls or has a bad day. Like Miss Faultless Pink for example.
If she is really working on a music video I’m excited! I thought she was done with Bionic. I wonder what song she will do?
i think its castle walls
yessss!! that’s right xtina!! get BACK to work! So what if u had a rough start of the year..if that means you’ll be amazing the rest of the year…all this crap will be the past in no time!!!!! Forget the haters. Ever since the superbowl..haters hve been putting u under the microscope like falling off stage. how dumb. i bet if someone else did that, peopel wouldnt give a crap! This world is so pitiful! i hope bionic gets another chance! sorry haters..xtina here to stay and she’s BACK ON TRACK! (and no..the castle walls vid has been done….for months)
Ok…I’m not familiar with the law in California but is it really necessary to arrest her? Like taking a mug shot and getting fingerprinted? Couldn’t they just detain her at the police station without going through all that process and call someone to pick her up? It’s not like she broke the law and the media is making a big deal out of nothing. Making it seem like she was arrested for doing something illegal.
has castle walls video been done? Can we see it?
I wouldn’t call tripping “collapsing on stage at the Grammy Awards” and as a sign that she has to enter rehab.
That being said, I’m glad to hear that she’s working and I hope she can leave this phase of misfortunes and mishaps behind soon.
