WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif — Singer Christina Aguilera and her boyfriend have been arrested on suspicion of being drunk in a car that was stopped on a West Hollywood street.

Sheriff’s Deputy Bill McSweeney says Aguilera was a passenger in the car that was stopped at about 2:45 am Tuesday.

Her boyfriend, 25-year-old Matthew Rutler, was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. His bail was set at $30,000.

McSweeney says Aguilera appeared to be extremely intoxicated and unable to look after her own welfare.

A sheriff’s website says she was booked on suspicion of a misdemeanour but McSweeney says she’s essentially being held at the West Hollywood sheriff’s station for her own protection and is expected to be released without facing criminal charges.

Calls to her agent and publicist weren’t returned early Tuesday.

Natalie Portman ‘disgusted’ by Galliano’s remarks

PARIS – Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman says she is “shocked and disgusted” by a video in which designer John Galliano says he loves Adolf Hitler.

Portman says in a statement that “as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr Galliano in any way.”

Both stars work with Christian Dior. Portman is spokesmodel for Miss Dior Cherie perfume. Galliano has been suspended as Dior’s creative director pending an investigation into an alleged anti-Semitic incident in a Paris cafe last week.

Portman’s statement was provided Tuesday to The Associated Press after a video posted online showed Galliano, in a different incident, drunkenly telling a cafe patron, “I love Hitler.”

Portman won the best actress Oscar on Sunday for Black Swan.
