PHOTO: The Christina Aguilera Mug Shot the Cops Didn't Want You to See

Does Christina Aguilera look publicly intoxicated to you?

The spiraling pop diva was arrested on suspicion of that very charge early this morning, and here is the photographic evidence of the bust, exclusively obtained by E! News.

L.A. Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said that Aguilera's picture is not going to be released to the public because authorities do not plan to press charges...but sometimes a camera is just in the right place at the right time.

While this certainly won't go down in the annals of scary mug-shot history, it's definitely not one of Aguilera's better looks.

In her defense, Whitmore said earlier today that the "Beautiful" singer was "cooperative" and "not belligerent in any way whatsoever" when she was taken into custody along with boyfriend Matthew Rutler.

Christina Aguilera Detained for Public Drunkenness, Boyfriend Arrested for DUI

 

Christina Aguilera found herself in some legal trouble on Tuesday morning after being taken into police custody  for public intoxication while her boyfriend, Matt Rutler, was arrested for driving under the influence.

TMZ initially reported that Aguilera was arrested and booked at 2:45 in the morning after being taken into custody in West Hollywood, but now conflicting reports say that Aguilera was detained, but not arrested. According to the LA Times, she was released on $250 bail.
There has been much speculation about Aguilera’s well-being lately, as various reports from sources and friends claimed the songstress has been spiraling out of control since her divorce from husband Jordan Bratman.
