Christina Aguilera spent several hours in a West Hollywood police cell earlier this week after being arrested for “being drunk in public”. She was taken in after her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, was pulled over on suspicion of DUI.

According to TMZ, police say the singer was “extremely intoxicated” and unable to take care of herself, which is why they took her in, but she us unlikely to be charged with anything. It’s possible police decided to test the singer’s condition by getting her to recite some famous words – like, say, the American national anthem – and when she fumbled on the second verse they threw in the slammer.

As previously reported, when Aguilera got a line wrong while singing said national anthem at last month’s Super Bowl some ‘friends’ of the star told reporters she was probably drunk, as she had been drinking a lot since her five year marriage to Jordan Bratman crumbled last year.
