CHRISTINA AND JORDAN ARE "REBUILDING THEIR FRIENDSHIP"
"She's not being honest with herself," a pal of the Burlesque actress tells PEOPLE. "She's saying she's this strong independent woman and she's fine, but what she's not stepping back to realize is that moving on after a divorce is not easy.""She thinks she's gotten her life together and has already moved on," the source continues, "when maybe she still needs to process it some more."
As for Tuesday's public intoxication incident, in which Rutler was arrested for investigation of DUI and Aguilera was jailed for her own safety, "that was just silly and stupid," her pal says.
Still, some friends worry about Rutler's influence on Aguilera. "There's a real concern about this guy, and a lot of her friends feel she needs to get away from him," the pal says. "Hopefully, what happened [on Tuesday] is a real wake up call."
"She is going out more and drinking more," the friend continues. "She feels she is embracing her freedom and enjoying life … but now friends are hoping that she takes a step back and focuses on herself for a while."
Others close to Aguilera suggest the negative string of events is a matter of coincidence.
"There are people in her life who feel she's catching some bad breaks and are confident she'll come ahead strong," another source says. "A lot of her friends don't feel there's a huge problem to worry about."
Amidst all the chaos, the one positive that has remained consistent in Aguilera's life is loyalty from her ex.
"Jordan has been really wonderful through all this," the source says. "He's been really understanding. [He and Christina] are rebuilding their friendship."

[RUMOR] CHRISTINA FILMING A MUSIC VIDEO AT SMASHBOX STUDIOS?
Christina Aguilera was ready to put her drunken arrest behind her and get back to work last night as she started filming her new music video.The singer was spotted leaving Smashbox Studios in Hollywood in a little black robe and jumped into a limousine to head home, which marked her first public appearance since being arrested early Tuesday morning.
Despite her bad start to the year, the 30-year-old singer had a cheeky grin on her face as she slipped out of the studio.
Back to work: Christina Aguilerawas spotted leaving Smashbox Studios in Hollywood after filming a music video
But not even Christina’s heavily piled on fake tan and mahogany lipstick could disguise the trouble in the singer’s personal life.
The mother-of-one faced an embarrassing arrest for public intoxication earlier this week, because she ‘was not capable of taking care of herself’.
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 last year, Aguilera has been under a noticeable about of strain and after a disastrous Super Bowl performance in February, where she mixed up the words to the National Anthem, and collapsing on stage at the Grammy Awards, fears for her health have only escalated.
But the Burlesque actress is trying to put her troubles in the background while she gets her mind back on her career.
UPDATE: There's another rumor circulating that this alleged music video is for none other than... 'I Am'
Stay tuned!

CARSON DALY WILL HOST 'THE VOICE'
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - February 1, 2010 - Carson Daly, host of NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly," will host NBC's compelling new vocal competition series "The Voice," from the hit-making reality show pioneers John de Mol, Mark Burnett and Warner Horizon Television. The announcement was made by Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming and Production.
"Carson is the perfect choice to host this exciting new series owing to his credibility, popularity and relevance in both the music world and social media," said Telegdy. "As he has demonstrated on his late-night show, Carson has the knack of recognizing new talent, which is a key component in 'The Voice.'"
"I have a true appreciation for authentic, raw talent and 'The Voice' is all about finding that," said Daly. "Having worked in the music industry for many years, I am looking forward to hosting 'The Voice.' This is a show based strictly on vocal performance -- giving all kinds of talented singers the opportunity to reach millions across the country."
"The Voice," modeled after Holland's top-rated vocal talent discovery show, "The Voice of Holland," will be brought to America in spring 2011.
With music always the focus, Daly's career has spanned a multitude of media, including network television, radio, the recording industry and digital. Daly began his career in radio in the early 1990s and quickly moved up the ranks and landed one of the most coveted positions in the radio business--that of the early evening voice of Los Angeles' influential and top-rated KROQ-FM. MTV soon recognized his talent and brought him to New York City.
It was at MTV that Daly's popularity exploded. In the era of young pop stars and rock stars, Daly solidified his roots as a pioneer of pop culture by introducing us to icons: Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Kid Rock, Eminem and many more. As host and executive producer of MTV's "Total Request Live" (TRL), he transformed an afternoon music video program into a must-stop on the publicity circuit for musicians, movie stars and entertainers alike.
In January 2002, Daly began his late-night television show "Last Call with Carson Daly" (Monday-Friday, 1:35-2:05 a.m. ET), which is currently entering its 10th season as a part of the network's top-rated, late-night lineup. Re-writing the rulebook for late-night television, Daly has taken his show out of the studio and on location every night. The new format dubbed "Talk-Doc" for its documentary feel, has been widely considered groundbreaking.
While "Last Call" boasts diverse bookings in the worlds of entertainment, politics and sports, it is the progressive music bookings that have earned Daly his bragging rights among the late-night crowd. Since day one, "Last Call" has been the show that gives many of the hottest bands their first break on U.S. television including The Killers, Jack Johnson, Maroon 5, Ray LaMontagne, Modest Mouse, 30 Seconds to Mars, B.o.B and many more.
In addition to "Last Call," Daly and Universal Media Studios produced the annual New Year's Eve primetime special "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" for its seventh year, ringing in 2011 live from Times Square.
In January 2010, Daly returned to his radio roots and currently hosts the morning drive from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday on KAMP (AMP Radio 97.1) in Southern California.
"The Voice" is a show about real talent. Four famous musicians search for the best voices in America and will mentor these singers to become artists. America will decide which singer will be worthy of the grand prize.
The show's innovative format features three stages of competition. The first begins with the blind audition, then the competition enters into a battle phase, and finally, the live performance shows. During the blind auditions the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not on looks. The coaches hear the contestants perform but they don't get to see them thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the contestant's voice, he/she pushes a button to select the contestant for his/her team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that he/she can face the contestant he/she has selected. If more than one coach selects the talent, the power shifts to the contestant, who may choose which coach he/she wants to work with throughout the competition.
Once the teams are set, the battle is on. Coaches will mentor the contestants and dedicate themselves to developing their singers, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success. During the battle rounds the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal face-off, the coach must choose which of his/her singers will advance.
At the end of the battle episodes, only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to the live stage shows. In this final performance phase of the competition, the top contestants from each team will compete against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience will vote to save one talent on each team, leaving the coach to decide LIVE who they want to save and who will not move on. At last, each coach will have their best contestant left standing to compete in the finale. From these four, one will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract and 100,000 dollars.
"The Voice" is a presentation of Talpa Productions, Mark Burnett and Warner Horizon Television. Created by De Mol, he will executive produce along with Burnett and Audrey Morrissey.

[PHOTOS] CHRISTINA LEAVING SMASHBOX STUDIOS
ADAM LEVINE "REALLY INTERESTED" WHEN CHRISTINA AND CEE LO WERE BEING INVOLVED ON NBC'S 'THE VOICE'
Message from Adam
Posted Mar 03.2011
Hey Everybody!
So as I'm sure most of you know, we have postponed some tour dates. I just wanted to drop you guys a line to let you know what was happening so nobody would be left in the dark. Maroon 5 has been a band for 17 years. We have had an incredible career that is still going strong today. NBC approached me to be a part of this show called "The Voice." Now of course, my guard went up almost immediately. I'd never involve myself with something I didn't believe in and those that know me, know how "allergic" I am to most forms of reality television. Had I not been interested in the concept, I never would have even considered it but the truth is, this sounded different. It sounded refreshing, and I thought to myself, why not? And when they had mentioned that amazing talents like Cee Lo and Christina being involved, I got REALLY interested. I'm not sure where it will lead, but its exciting nonetheless. and I only hope to have the support of our incredible fans who have been there since day one. As for the postponed dates, we WILL make them up by the end of the year. We'd never let our fans down. I'm so sorry we gave such short notice and we will try to never to let that happen again. WE LOVE YOU!
ADAM
