Yesterday, I covered the early excerpts from Star Magazine’s Christina Aguilera cover story this week, all about Christina “hitting rock bottom” with her boozing and diva antics. As I read through Jezebel’s tabloid round-up, it seems like most tabloids have “Christina is a drunken hot mess” stories happening. So… either it’s all true or this is a series case of tabloid group-think. Here are some of the highlights from the stories:
Life & Style – The Christina Aguilera “Refuses To Get Help” story here begins: “Looking at the concerned faces of those nearest and dearest to her, Christina Aguilera could feel her anger growing. As one of them began to tell the singer that they wanted to talk to her about her drinking and partying, she snapped, ‘This isn’t happening — and if it is, you’re all fired.” Basically, Christina’s peeps want her to get help (sure sounds like an intervention) but their jobs are on the line.
ITW – Christina Aguilera’s been drinking alone, pouring herself a glass of wine or a shot of vodka whenever she knows she has to go out in public. “It’s the only way she can get herself ready to be in a good mood,” says a source. Someone else claims she has mood swings and a severe drinking problem, and the booze contributed to the end of her marriage. She ALLEGEDLY used to scream at husband Jordan: “I make all the money. I’m the star of this family! What do you do?” And! “The real Christina is mean, nasty and horrible,” says an insider.
Star – Christina Aguilera has “lost her confidence” since she split from Jordan Bratman, and “She gets terribly sad,” and “all the awful memories” come flooding back. So! “She ends up numbing herself with booze and food.” She’s “in denial” and “seriously depressed,” says a “friend.” And, when she’s hungover, she “devours pizza, french fries, and other fattening foods,” which is just SO WEIRD AND UNUSUAL. A doctor who does not treat her claims: “She looks about 40 lbs. overweight.”
[From Jezebel]
At this point, I really do tend to believe all of the horrible stories about Christina. Of course, I believed them before her booze-soaked downward spiral. I believed the junk about her picking up women at bars while married, I believed that she cheated on Jordan repeatedly, and I believed that she’s probably a monster to work for and with. The boozing just enhances and accentuates all of the old stories, and gives them a new flavor. And the kicker is that Christina isn’t going to be getting help any time soon. She and her team have already started blaming Matthew Rutler for being a “bad influence” on poor little Christina, so once he’s out the door, she’s still going to keep on with the badness.

She really is the definition of “hot mess”.
“Hot Mess” is an under-statement Brin, the girl is far from that and moving fast into the deep dark abyss of problems
If she’s 40lbs overweight then I must be 200lbs overweight!!!
WTF, yeah, she’s put on some weight, but she’s hardly obese!
But then this is Hollywierd, so only skinny malnourished underweight is normal…
“Sad mess” is what I think when I see her. It’s like she doesn’t even care any more. Shame, because she has a beautiful voice.
The only thing good about today for Christina is that it’s Crackhead’s court date. We’ll all be too busy with our popcorn and tequila-filled Jolly Ranchers to worry too much about Drunktina. Today anyway.
Ok she is not 40 pounds overweight she used to be a waif now she is just normal looking.
It is kind of funny though that she has gained all this weight while her nemisis Kelly Osborne is in great shape.
she reminds me of Snooki in some of those pictures
I really don’t want this to end up being a Britney replay.
She doesn’t look “normal” to me. She looks heavy. Her face is bloated and her figure is certainly not slender anymore. Whatever the cause, she has definitely outgrown the white hair and spackled on makeup. Time for a new look X-tina. You’re not a kid anymore!
She looks like someone’s hot mess gramma in that top pic. SCARY!
This is all so predictable; You have a truly talented child star that lives their life never being told “no”, never having any guidance because they’re signing the checks and they go through life needing more of everything just to feel good about themselves. This will be that Beiber kid in five years, it’s pretty much Miley Cyrus now, and we KNOW it’s Cracky McCrackhead, underlined with a bullet. It’s very sad, and you better have at least some sense of likeability about you or no one will care if you ever make it back- I cared if Britney Spears got help, Xtina, not so much.
The last photo is priceless. The execs behind her look like they’re waiting to catch her when she falls. Ugh-child stardom.
The sad part about all this is the fact that she is the mother of a young child. She needs to get it together and focus on her son and getting herself healthy.
She is the Blonde Snooki!!!
Never mind the weight, what about that wig?
She looks normal weightwise. We don’t all have to be a size 2. I don’t know how healthy she currently is if she is drinking etc. It shouldn’t be an issue that she gained some weight. That’s not the problem.
It’s not that she looks overweight. It’s that her face has a seriously unhealthy kind of bloat that only comes from filling your body with all kinds of crap, be it booze, drugs, junk food, whatever.
She is heavier than she was but then, so am I so I can’t say anything there.
That damn cotton candy hair and spray painted make-up needs to go though. And the stupid Marylin poses and coy expressions. Girl, you’re not a kid anymore. Grow up.
I bet anything that if she fires her nannys and is forced to take care of her kid herself she would snap out of her depression. Moms don’t have time to get depressed… our kids need us. I love her and hope she gets help soon.
Well her police booking said she weighed 100 lbs, so I guess she should weight 60 lbs to not be overweight. Poor Xtina, she’s got to hit the gym hard if she wants to get down to her “normal” 60 lb weight.
40 lbs overweight? Bullshit. I’ll buy that she’s put on a few—a FEW–but 40 lbs? That doctor is clearly not an actual doctor.
@ Michelle – you are dead on!
Good grief, she’s not a whale! Small waist and roundy hips….what the hell is wrong with that?
Maybe the weight looks so awful on her because it’s alcohol weight.
Alkie bloat is unbecoming.
I wish I could numb myself from the pain of looking at her face.
I think her weight is fine…it’s just her actions that are not healthy for her mentally and physically. I’ve always thought she was better off with Jordan. I think he truly loved her and she may still love him still…but she was a royal bitch to him. I don’t think she appreciated him. She probably made him do all the diaper changes and baby feeds, and probably bossed him around to do everything, you never know. She once said he was the one who pulled her out of the storm…years back when she was going through some drama during her Stripped days. That’s why she cleaned up her image, cause she was sooo “in love” with him and what not. And now…she’s going back out of control all over again. :/ I bet she thinks about it now, how good he was to her, huh???
I think her husband kept her drinking in line. Whatever their relationship was, I think she leaned on it and he was her rock, true north or whatever you want to call it. Now it’s not there she’s teetering all over the place. I feel bad for her; it’s obvious she’s got to do something but as we all know she’s gonna be the last person to figure it out.
OK, now I’ve been nice, there’s a blind item this morning about an actress who binged on thin mints and vodka, passed out and woke up to gazillions of cookie boxes (and prolly a horrible hangover!). Other than the hangover part, sounds like a dream come true . . . but now I’m wondering if it isn’t Xtina, even though she certainly isn’t known as an actress.
Loose weight, stop bleaching your hair, stop wearing dragqueen make up and lay off the orange tan. I mean it. Please.
what ruby red and michelle said.
That last picture is just horrifying. That fried white mess on her head and the caked-on make-up need to go. You need a style overhaul, girl.
she’s soooo teeny though you can see any little weight gain on her.
she looks normal and not overweight.
She has the ugliest legs, no shape on the lower part. And what the he’ll happened to her face?maybe 35 of the so called 40 pouns reside on her cheeks…..
She is overweight. Not fat – big difference. She is a short girl so 40 pds would make a big difference on her frame and if its from alcohol and bad foods than its bad weight gain not healthy weight gain.
Ok, so she’s tiny, I know that… about 5’2″ without her hooker heels, yeah? I know that 125 or so is cutoff between ‘normal’ and ‘overweight’ on the BMI for that height. Aguilera is MAYBE pushing 120 in these photos, and it is startling because she was so small before and because her face is bloated. There is no way in hell that she’s forty pounds overweight.
More importantly, is that her actual hair or did she fry it so thoroughly with ultra-bleaching that she’s wearing a wig?
Looks like she is wearing Monica’s fat costume
@Sara – “Well her police booking said she weighed 100 lbs, so I guess she should weight 60 lbs to not be overweight. Poor Xtina, she’s got to hit the gym hard if she wants to get down to her “normal” 60 lb weight.”
I’m sorry, but there’s no way in hell she’s 100lbs, unless she keeps her scale on the moon. I’m an inch shorter (she’s 5’2), with a small frame & thin body like her’s, & IM 110lbs. She has to be at least 120. She’s *NOT* fat by any means, but she does look like she’s retaining salt & water weight, probably from the alcohol.
I’m certainly *not* making excuses for Christina’s behavior or addictions, & I’m in NO way an expert on anything, or the type who tries to ‘diagnose’ every out of control celebrity. But it seems like severe depression that Christina is ‘self medicating’ herself for.
I know it’s way early for her to have a ‘mid-life crisis’, but it’s possible once she disappeared for a while to get married & have children, that she looked at her life & felt stifled. A celebrity gets all the accolades, the screaming fans going to your concerts or watching for you on the red carpet, but being a wife & especially a mother, isn’t easy. Maybe she was feeling a *need* for the approval she received as a young/unattached woman who got to party without responsibility.
Feeling ‘trapped’ could have sent her into a depression. The divorce was probably because she was trying to go back to what she used to be… wild/shocking, experimenting with her sexuality. (She may or may not be bisexual, It’s hard to tell if she’s doing it to get a reaction, to rebel, or if she really is.) But as Britney could tell her, you can’t go back. You have to move forward because regret & self medication gets you nowhere.
She, like Britney did at the time of her breakdown, has a young child. I know Christina didn’t have a happy experience with her abusive father… That should be something that drives her to be a good mother. Or maybe it’s a lot of pressure, not wanting to screw up.
“Christina Aguilera “numbs herself with booze and food”
Welcome to the human race.
That is overweight?!
And that from a country with the highest percentage of ‘really’ fat people. It’s unbelievable that people still see someone as she looks now as overweight.
She’s beginning to look a lot like Snooki…
