Christina Aguilera Joins NBC's 'The Voice'

Just days after an arrest for public intoxication, Christina Aguilera has officially joined the new NBC show 'The Voice.'

According to Entertainment Weekly, the singer has signed on to be a coach/judge on the Mark Burnett-produced singing competition. She'll join 'Forget You' singer Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine at the judging table.

"I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it," Aguilera said in a statement. "To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms. I am so happy to be working with fellow Grammy Award winners Adam and Cee Lo as I feel there is so much we can all bring to 'The Voice.'"

Burnett said he knew right off the bat that Aguilera would be the perfect female coach.

"When I decided to produce 'The Voice,' I immediately knew that my first choice for a female coach had to be Christina Aguilera," Burnett told EW. "Christina has a perfect voice and is an undeniable force in the music business. She is the epitome of 'The Voice.'"

Aguilera has made her fair share of headlines this year. After she botched the national anthem at the Super Bowl and had a slight stumble onstage at the Grammys, the singer was arrested for public intoxication on March 1.
