娛樂圈講究“折騰”。能一步到位的事情絕對要來個“九曲十八彎”——這樣才能滿足平凡大眾“獵奇”的心理。身為“圈內人”首要具備的就是“娛樂精神”，也就是“娛人”——身世要離奇，經曆要跌宕，如《西遊記》的主角們那般經曆九九八十一難之後“鳳凰涅槃，浴火重生”就堪稱“娛人”經典了。若按此標準，克裏斯蒂娜·阿奎萊拉則顯得太過“普通”。其實，她不是沒有過“娛人”行徑、耍過性感、玩過出位，但是與同時期的布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯相比，她的娛樂精神卻總抓不住最多人的關注目光。今天，布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯重新出發，而克裏斯蒂娜·阿奎萊拉卻跌至穀底。俗語說：“福無重至，禍不單行。”接連犯錯，克裏斯蒂娜·阿奎萊拉成為了“公眾敵人”，有人預言她“大限將至”，有人卻力挺她會渡過難關。而我對此抱樂觀態度，因為“劫後餘生”這種戲碼最是勵誌，也最具有“娛樂精神”。畢竟，身處這個圈子，“娛樂大家”才是“圈內人”的工作。

The 2）Super Bowl 3）flub. A fall at the Grammys. 4）Public intoxication. Should Christina kiss her career goodbye？ Or can a 5）gig on The Voice put her back on top？
Hoping for the J.Lo effect？ Hitting the highest of high notes is important to 6）diva’s career， to be sure. But just as inevitable？ Hitting the lowest of the lows. Britney Spears， Mariah Carey， Whitney Huston—they’ve all 7）fallen from grace， and then 8）embarked on the very public （and often personally painful） journey to 9）redemption. It’s in this 10）precarious stage of the diva life cycle that big-voiced “Beautiful” singer Christina Aguilera currently resides.
On March 1st， the 30-year-old pop star was detained at a West Hollywood police station 11）on suspicion of public intoxication. （She was in the passenger seat when her boyfriend， Matthew Rutler， 25， was 12）pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence.） The incident might have been 13）brushed aside had it not followed the most 14）tumultuous period in Aguilera’s career and private life. In the past year alone， the singer has： released a much-anticipated but low-selling album， Bionic；
15）filed for divorce from her husband of five years， marketing executive Jordan Bratman； starred in the critically 16）panned movie musical Burlesque；
17）screwed up the lyrics to the 18）national anthem at the Super Bowl； and taken a much-discussed 19）tumble during the opening 20）number at the Grammys. （That’s not to mention all the reports about her allegedly drunken behavior at Jeremy Renner’s birthday party.） And on March 6th， there was more bad news： Her label， Sony Music， was sued over a sample used in the singer’s 2006 hit “Ain’t No Other Man.”
Other than some 21）flak for her questionable fashion choices （remember the “Dirrty” 22）chaps？）， Aguilera has， until recently， maintained a “23）squeaky clean” image， says talent manager Jeff Rabhan who has worked with Kelis and Kelly Rowland. “She was one of those amazing stars who came up through the business and remained like a 24）Teflon doll. But clearly she needs a little 25）polish right now.”
