Pals of the Burlesque star spoke up in a recent issue of Us Weekly about Aguilera's increasingly rowdy, drunken antics -- which included a New Year's Eve blowout fight with her mom, a booze-filled night of crying at L.A. club The Dime, and even passing out in star Jeremy Renner's bed during his 40th birthday bash Jan. 8.

"Her friends are fed up," one source said of the star. "She's really spiraling. I would be shocked if she's not in rehab in the next month or two."
She and husband Jordan Bratman split up last September; the couple were married for five years and have a 3-year-old son, Max.
