Police spokespeople have said Christina Aguilera was arrested yesterday for her own safety, not because she was engaged in any kind of criminal activity.
Still, this caveat does not mask the fact that the singer has a clear drinking problem (cops on the scene said she could not stand and did not know where she was). Friends tell TMZ they've been urging Christina to check into rehab for months now, even prior to her October split from Jordan Bratman.
"Maybe when she was married she was able to keep it under wraps, but it's out in the open now," a pal tells the site.
Insiders add that Aguilera's drinking was a major concern for Bratman, who brought up the topic during the ex-couple's child custody agreement.
In light of this incident, will he push for more time with son Max? Might Christina finally check into a treatment center? We'll keep readers apprised on the state of the latest celebrity downfall.

Which will create the bigger pop-culture stir: Christina Aguilera flubbing the lyrics of the national anthem or holding the final, lung-busting note for seven seconds?
It could be a tossup, although her wording whoops was on the Internet almost before she finished the song. Aguilera, who chose to sing the difficult song live instead of pre-recorded, belted “what so proudly we watched” instead of the correct lyrics, “o’er the ramparts we watched.”
She’ll get mercilessly ribbed, especially since this isn’t her first Super Bowl performance. She was part of the 2000 halftime show. Anyway, give Aguilera credit for looking classy in a black suit and for holding that show-stopping end note.
Hey, she was way better than, um, Roseanne Barr.
"I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through," she said in a statement after the performance.
Aguilera, who took the stage in a black dress, was returning to the Super Bowl after being one of the performers during the halftime show in Atlanta in 2000.
After it was announced that Aguilera would be singing the national anthem for the 2011 Super Bowl, she said in a news release that she had been performing the song since she was 7 and was "excited to be part of such an iconic event."

Reasons why the internet exists, exhibit A. You can dredge up old photos of contemporary pin-ups like Christina Hendricks.
Christina Hendricks is still one of the hottest women alive, in and out of her period costumes as the smart and sassy secretary Joan on Mad Men. But before that show, she had a career. A career promoting drinks (summer shooters) in the likes of Playboy. Twitter lead itself to a Christina Hendricks uproar earlier today when tweeting ‘Who is the famous actress in this photo from the July 1999 issue?’ The photo is above. Obviously, the actress is Christina Hendricks. What’s less obvious is that she’s so hot and pale, it not only negates the terror of a random clown appearing in what looks to be a happy and fashionable summer shoot, she blends right in with said clown. And makes it look weird that a frightfully orange person is inserted randomly into the shoot.
Jesus Christ, that man looks like Rudolph Valentino’s unnecessary bastard lovechild. And he’s spoiling an otherwise normal portrait of Christina Hendricks with a clown, the stuff that nightmares and dreams are made of.
If you’re interested in Hendricks’ previous bodies of work, she also appeared on Firefly. But just….stare at the photo for a while. It’s like a magic eye, only the only reward is Christina Hendricks.

Christina Scavo pictures becomes popular Google trend after sexual harassment lawsuit is filed against Brett Favre.
NEW YORK — Brett Favre's latest attempt at retirement is off to a rocky start.
Two massage therapists, Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, have sued Favre, the New York Jets and Lisa Ripi, a woman who hires massage therapists for the team, claiming they lost their jobs when they complained about receiving sexually suggestive text messages from the former NFL star, Good Morning America reports.
In the suit filed Monday in New York, Scavo alleges that Favre treated her like a "hanging slab of meat" when he played for the team in 2008. She also alleges he wanted a three-way with her and another therapist.
"Brett here, you and Crissy want to get together, I'm all alone," he allegedly wrote in a text message to the unidentified therapist.
Scavo claims her husband confronted Favre after the incident and asked for an apology, but he "responded in an inappropriate manner and refused." From then on, both Scavo and O'Toole were never offered work with the Jets again, according to the lawsuit.
"I suspect that this case is only the tip of the iceberg with respect to the harassment and discrimination experienced by women working for NFL teams and their players as well as all of men's professional sports," Elizabeth Eilender, the attorney for Scavo and O'Toole, told ABC News in a statement. "I hope that Ms. Scavo's and Ms. O'Toole's courage to bring this suit will empower other women to come forward without fear of retaliation and retribution in order to protect their livelihoods and self-respect."
The lawsuit is the second scandal to rock Favre's brief tenure with the Jets. Last week, he was fined $50,000 by the NFL for failing to cooperate during their investigation into allegations he sent inappropriate text messages and graphic photos to Jenn Sterger, a former gameday hostess for the team.

First "Burlesque" bombs, and now this.
Semi-nude photographs of Christina Aguilera were circulating online Wednesday after allegedly being stolen by a computer hacker, TMZ reported.
Aguilera's rep condemned the leak of the pictures showing the star, 29, wearing pasties and bits of fabric.
Other photos show the star in various other revealing outfits including see-through shirts.
The photos were "illegally obtained by a hacker" who swiped them from Aguilera’s stylist, the rep said, adding that they would pursue the offender aggressively.
The pictures were "taken in the privacy of Ms. Aguilera's home and were used only in a personal exchange between the star and her stylist," the spokesperson told TMZ.
This has been a rough few months for Aguilera. In October, she split with her husband Justin Bratman, and her first starring role in the movie "Burlesque" was panned by most critics when it premiered two weeks ago.

Christina Aguilera’s racy photos taken back in April of 2010 are making headlines tonight, after a hacker got into the account of Christina Aguilera’s personal stylist and leaked the racy pictures. Rumors have been swirling that Christina Aguilera is pregnant, but it’s safe to assume that she was not pregnant when the photos were taken, otherwise she’d be about to give birth right now.
Considering that she had not yet separated from husband Jordan Bratman when the racy photos were taken, we can’t help but wonder who these pictures were meant for.
Were Christina Aguilera’s racy photos an attempt to patch things up with Jordan Bratman? Or was she sending them to new beau Matt Rutler? And then, there’s the question of whether or not she was having some sort of racy relationship with her personal stylist?
Whoever Christina Aguilera’s racy photos were meant for, I’m guessing that since the pictures have been leaked, she wishes she’d never taken them.
