Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie leaving Voyeur nightclub in West Hollywood (7/22)

Jordan Bratman was living the idyllic life: a famous wife, an awesome house, fast cars, and more money than he could ever spend. And then those homewreckers Nicole Richie and Sam Ronson had to go and mess everything up. From the Chicago Sun Times:

There's been a lot of buzz the past couple of days about Christina Aguilera's  attending a "wild party" vacation with galpals in Cabo San Lucas -- reported as the "last straw" that led to Xtina splitting with hubby Jordan Bratman.

Not true, says an Aguilera insider who was on the scene in the Baja California resort.

According to my source -- who has a history of accuracy -- it was more about Aguilera's long chats in Mexico with girlfriends Nicole Richie, Samantha Ronson and others -- leading her to realize her marriage might be beyond repair.

Aguilera reportedly spent a great deal of time being consoled by her friends and told in pretty blunt terms about what was clearly missing from her relationship with Bratman, long her musical producer as well.

Obviously Sam Ronson (aka Lindsay Lohan's ex) would think Christina's relationship with Jordan wasn't going well -- he has the one thing she never wants her lovers to have: a penis a job. Of course, when it comes to advice on men, listening to Nicole and Sam probably isn't the best idea. Sure they've both stuck their fists into an animal all they way up to their elbows (see here), but that doesn't make someone an expert on relationships. That makes them a puppeteer.
