Christina Aguilera has made her first public appearance since her recent drunken arrest. The 30-year-old singer slipped into a slimming red dress, complete with a hight waisted belt and spiked Christian Louboutin heels, and was looking considerably trimmer than she has done in recent months. Pint-sized Christina, whose weight frequently fluctuates, was appearing at a press conference for her new reality show The Voice in Los Angeles.
The star, who had apparently done away with the fake tan tonight, has signed a deal with NBC to appear in the programme, which aims to find musical talent. She joins rapper and record producer Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, who were also at tonight's event, as a music coach.
Her red carpet turn comes just two weeks after she was arrested for public intoxication, which saw her being taken in by police in the early hours of the morning on March 1. Her boyfriend Matthew Rutler was arrested for driving under the influence in Los Angeles but left jail on a $30,000 bail. Aguilera was also released on bail and no charges were filed. Christina was Rutler’s passenger and the couple were pulled over when police caught the 25-year-old driving dangerously. 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 to Jordan Bratman last year, Aguilera has been under a noticeable about of strain.
She put in a disastrous Super Bowl performance in February, where she mixed up the words to the American National Anthem, and then collapsed on stage at the Grammy Awards, prompting fears for her health to escalate. But the Burlesque actress is trying to put her troubles in the background while she gets her mind back on her career. Speaking of her new TV show, The Voice, recently, Aguilera said: ‘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.’
