"Christina Aguilera is turning over a new leaf: Twitter!\r\nThe singer, 30, joined the microblogging site on Tuesday in honor of her new coaching gig on The Voice, NBC&amp;apos;s singing competition show.\r\n\r\nWhat did the Burlesque star -- in the news lately for her drunken post-divorce behavior -- have to say?\r\n&amp;quot;Here goes my first Tweet! Brace yourselves... So excited to connect with all my fans here. xo - Xtina,&amp;quot; she wrote late Tuesday.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Thanks for the welcome to Twitter,&amp;quot; she added an hour later. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m getting the hang of this. Never thought I&amp;apos;d say the word &amp;apos;hashtag.&amp;apos; Pandora&amp;apos;s box has been opened.&amp;quot;\r\nAt a press conference for The Voice last week, Aguilera alluded to her recent, highly publicized troubles (including a public drunkenness arrest alongside her beau Matthew Rutler in West Hollywood).\r\n\r\n&amp;#xA0;&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re only able to be seen through the microscope of the media and what people gossip about,&amp;quot; she said.  &amp;quot;You take the good with the bad.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
