Christina Aguilera

Legendary singer Etta James was laid to rest yesterday with a service in Gardena, California that was attended by hundreds. Rev. Al Sharpton gave the eulogy, opening his remarks with a statement from President Obama that said, "Etta will be remembered for her legendary voice and her contributions to our nation's musical heritage.” Stevie Wonder performed three songs and Christina Aguilera did her rendition of "At Last," wearing what could be deemed an inappropriate cleavage-baring top.

Kelly Osbourne, famous for being an Osbourne amongst a variety of other things that didn't really pan out with the same success, can't stop talking smack on Christina Aguilera. A host for E!'s Fashion Police, she ripped into pictures of the singer from last weekend's Michael Jackson Tribute Concert looking a bit like Axl Rose. "She called me fat for years," Osbourne said.

Christina Aguilera has had a pretty rough year, beginning with her divorce from husband Jordan Bratman and ending with her failed album Bionic album, the flopped Burlesque movie, a botched Super Bowl performance, a public intoxication mishap, and even a well-publicized stumble on stage at the Grammy’s. For a minute there, it looked like X-Tina (now a judge on The Voice) was heading down a troubled path, but in this month’s issue of W Magazine, she seems confident that it was just a series of bad luck.

It might still be too early to say, since every celebrity gets nabbed for drunk driving once in a while—but is there a chance that Christina Aguilera might replace the hole the Charlie Sheen will inevitably leave in our hearts? The singer was arrested in West Hollywood this morning for public intoxication and being “unable to take care of herself.” Christina and her 25-year-old boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, were pulled over around 2:45am. Her bail was set at $250 for public intoxication, while Rutler’s bail was set at $30,000 for driving under the influence. A little DUI is nothing to really gossip about these days, but is this only the beginning for Aguilera? Let's take a look at her recent past to assess.
