Creed lead singer Scott Stapp was arrested Saturday at LAX on charges that he was drunk in a public place (Penal Code, Section 647).
Police sources say that Stapp tried to board a plane yesterday but was allegedly so drunk that airline personnel would not let him on. Sources say Stapp was "antagonistic, boisterous and pissed off." Stapp was taken to LAPD's Van Nuys division and demanded a blood-alcohol test. He blew a .18, more than twice the legal limit.
Stapp's arrest in LA came just one day after his marriage in Miami. His bride is Jaclyn Nesheiwat. Unclear if she was at the airport during the arrest. Stapp must appear on March 8 for arraignment.

Louisiana native daughter Britney Spears will celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans later this month as the devastated city continues to revive – and revert to its old, partying ways.
Spears will join ABC's Good Morning America on Feb. 28 when the morning show broadcasts live from the Big Easy.
"I am honored to be a part of the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans this year," the pop star, 24, said in a statement Monday. "It is so important for this amazing city to continue its annual traditions and I am really looking forward to being involved."
The network, in its own announcement, said that Spears – who grew up in Kentwood, La., and has participated in fundraisers for victims of Hurricane Katrina – will bring "surprises for a group of very deserving young residents." The Mardi Gras parade season lasts from Feb. 18-28. Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras Day, is Feb. 28.

Judith Sheindlin, familiarly known as television's Judge Judy, fixes the lawbreaker with her trademark brace-yourself-buddy glare.
"You're drinking my tea?" she says to Jerry Sheindlin, her husband of 29 years, who's lunching alongside her during a production break on her court show. Not bothering to appeal, he stops pouring from her cup into his and returns the property to its rightful owner.
For Judy Sheindlin, marking her 10th season as the star of one of TV's top-rated syndicated shows, watched by 10 million people daily, enforcing justice is a full-time job. Her grandchildren may enjoy some slack; all others, watch out.
That unforgiving approach to small-claims disputes culled from courts nationwide is what draws viewers. When Phil McGraw barks at an errant spouse or parent on "Dr. Phil," he's reflecting the influence of Sheindlin's decade of TV toughness. "Accept responsibility for what you do in everything," the former New York family court judge said in an interview. She was referring to her own expectation of how judges should behave and, in a more expansive view, the world.
At one point, she interrupts herself to search her purse for a stash of newspaper clippings, reports on a series of violent deaths of New York children that have raised questions about city government oversight. "All these articles, you know who they blame? They blame the Administration for Children's Services. Now, I'm not absolving them. ... But that's not where the fault is, really," she said. "The people who are supposed to protect children are their parents."

We're all about to see a lot less of Janet Jackson - literally.
The pop queen bulked up over the last year but has been given her marching orders by her label, Virgin, to lose the weight by September - or it won't release her album. "Janet had a really bad year," a spy said. "After the incident at the Super Bowl [two years ago], it just went downhill. Her album 'Damita Jo' was a flop. Then her brother Michael had the child-molestation trial - it just wasn't good to her."
Jackson found solace in food and, as recent photos will attest, has packed on the pounds. "This new album is supposed to be pretty good, but Virgin feels it can't market it without Janet being back in fighting form, so they have hired her a personal trainer and put her on a diet. She has to lose at least 20 pounds." But a pal said: "Janet always gains weight when she's not working - and always loses it in time to promote her albums. Janet always takes care of it when it matters."

Pop star Pink finally proposed to husband Carey Hart when she realized she couldn't get rid of him.
The volatile singer tried to leave the motocross rider repeatedly during their stormy courtship - but resistance was futile. And the star quickly discovered his determination to stay put was a good thing.
She says, "I had tried to kick him out eight times but he never went anywhere." "That says consistency and loyalty so I thought, screw it! Marry me."
--Yeah. I know when I picture the day I get engaged, I envision a guy saying, "Screw it! Marry me!"

The Gambler isn't what he used to be.
Kenny Rogers, who is almost unrecognizable after years of plastic surgery, told "The Insider" correspondent Kathie Lee Gifford: "Dolly [Parton] used to laugh. She's, like, 'Oh, my God! Kenny's gone to Jiffy Suck again.' I always wanted to look my best, and I do think that is an obsessive compulsion. Here's what I've learned: If you tell people, nobody cares. If you hide it, people are going to make more out of if than it was."
Rogers, who's been married five times, also revealed, "I've never had a prenup in my life, and I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it, and it's damn near wrecked me."

MSNBC highlights the Top 5 Worst Valentine's Day gifts. They are:
Lingerie--This all depends.
Gas-station flowers--Seriously, guys. We can tell the difference. Be bold...be different. Go with something besides roses every once in awhile.
Gym membership--Not the day to remind us we could lose a few. Use some tact, even if it kills you.
Clichéd jewelry--I know others disagree, but I so agree with this. There's nothing that makes me want to vom more than heart-shaped jewelry. I don't care if it IS the Tiffany heart-shaped necklace. It's still hokey.
Household goods--Not unless asked for. And even then, think about what would really spoil her, but that she won't ask for, and buy that instead.
Oh, and don't get your boxer-briefs all in a bunch on this, boys. My advice of creativity and not taking the easy way out applies to a lady's gift-giving to a man as well.

The U.S. version of “Eurovision Song Contest” will combine broadcast and online elements, NBC said Friday. As with “American Idol,” which itself was patterned on the hit British series “Pop Idol,” the winner will receive a recording contract. “‘Eurovision’ is the granddaddy of all talent shows and the Super Bowl of singing,” Ben Silverman, chairman of series producer Reveille, said in a statement.
As described by the network, the show will include an online competition to find singers from each state, with the winners advancing to the broadcast series to vie for the title. Voting will be in the hands of viewers. Further details on the series, which will feature amateurs and professionals and solo act or group acts, are in development, NBC said.
In 1974, ABBA won the “Eurovision” contest for Sweden with “Waterloo.” Dion won for Switzerland in 1988 and Olivia Newton-John competed for the United Kingdom in 1974. In 1958, an Italian singer performed the show’s most widely recorded song, “Volare,” NBC said. No air date for the NBC series was announced.

Actor Christian Slater is seeking joint custody of his 4-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son, according to refiled divorce papers.
The documents, filed Friday in Superior Court, also indicate that Slater wants to divide property under terms of a written agreement between himself and estranged wife Ryan Haddon. Those terms were not disclosed.
Slater, 36, first filed papers last February to end his marriage to the television producer, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple married on Valentine's Day in 2000. They separated on Jan. 1, 2004, according to the new papers. The original papers said they separated on Jan. 5, 2005.

Jaws author Peter Benchley died in his Princeton, New Jersey home on Saturday night. He was 65.
The writer, whose 1974 best-selling novel was adapted into Steven Spielberg's movie blockbusters, died from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive and a fatal scarring of the lungs, his widow Wendy confirmed. Despite his novel turning sharks into objects of fear for millions of people around the world, the author was a long-time campaigner for the conservation of the sea creatures.
Wendy says, "Spielberg certainly made the most superb movie; Peter was very pleased. But Peter kept telling people the book was fiction, it was a novel, and that he no more took responsibility for the fear of sharks than Mario Puzo took responsibility for the Mafia." Benchley is survived by three children and five grandchildren.

Bob Barker pleaded with city officials to close the Los Angeles Zoo's pachyderm exhibit and allow its three elephants to retire to a sanctuary.
Appearing jovial when he arrived at Friday's City Council meeting, the veteran game show host and longtime animal rights activist turned serious when he began to talk about the zoo's elephants, Gita, Ruby and Billy. "I came here today to ask, to beg you ... to vote to release those elephants from that zoo," Barker said. "They have lived in misery."
Gita and Ruby are ill, leaving only Billy on display. A fourth elephant, Tara, died in 2004. Several zoos nationwide, including San Francisco's, have closed their elephant exhibits.
Barker denounced plans to build a 2-acre, $19 million exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo that supporters say would provide a spacious and more natural environment for the elephants. The 82-year-old host of "The Price is Right" said it was too costly and would likely be obsolete by the time it is completed. The exhibit was not an issue on the council's agenda and no vote was taken. "There's only one solution to the tragic, the embarrassing elephant problem going on at (the zoo), and it's to release those elephants from captivity and place them in a sanctuary," Barker said.

Nick Lachey's publicists are furiously denying a magazine report suggesting the pop hunk is dating his ex-wife Jessica Simpson's best friend and assistant.
Lachey, who has recently been linked romantically to former beauty queen Lizzie Arnold, has now been spotted in the arms of CaCee Cobb, according to US magazine Life & Style.
In its new issue, the publication claims the couple was spotted getting cozy at Los Angeles' Level 3 nightclub last week as onlookers gasped in astonishment. One reveler says, "Nick had his arms wrapped around her, and he was kissing her all over the side of her face and neck. Her arms were around him, too. We were watching in total disbelief. We kept waiting for them to rip each other's clothes off."
The revelers felt Cobb should not have been cavorting with her best friend's ex in such a public place. One fumes, "There may be nothing going on between them, but it was inappropriate behavior. Everyone was like, 'Wow, what are they thinking?'" But Lachey's representatives are strongly denying rumors of a romance between their client and Cobb, insisting, "Nick and CaCee are friends, that's it."

"It's fantastic," Kelly Ripa told Regis Philbin. "They should do it every week." Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein said, "The magazine looks great. Congratulations on a job well-done." Tina Brown, who turned Vanity Fair into a success and then transformed The New Yorker, said, "Raced through it cover- to-cover this morning and my 15-year-old daughter gave it total thumbs up, devouring it on the way to school. It's really lively, sharp and fun." Vogue's Andre Leon Talley clutched a copy at the Bryant Park tents and said, "I'm going to read it cover- to-cover tonight."

Courtney Cox, 41, is pregnant reports Life & Style Weekly Magazine, but the former 'Friends' star is worried her age might age might cause complications.
"We're expecting a child, but she doesn't need the pressure of everyone watching us," hubby David Arquette, 34, told an inside source. "She's not that far along, but she has it in her head that there might be problems. You can never tell until after three months. It's scary enough as it is. I just wish it hadn't gotten out. The problem is most times the media knows before you do."
Courteney's rep denies the pregnancy, but another close insider confirms the pregnancy and adds: "She's very concerned."

At least she's a better mother than Britney Spears..LOL
Hollywood beauty Pamela Anderson will make a cameo appearance in the forthcoming movie spin-off of TV show Baywatch.
Anderson, who starred in the lifeguard soap in the early 1990s, is being lined up by David Hasselhoff to appear in the big screen version alongside other Baywatch cast mates, who are yet to be confirmed but could include Carmen Electra, Erika Eleniak, Yasmine Bleeth and Traci Bingham.
The movie's director Eli Roth says, "Pammy and the original girls will most likely do cameos in the movie. For the main cast, they want to go with a new crop of hotties. The other producers spoke to Pamela about it and she said she'd love to do a cameo. For me, it just wouldn't be Baywatch without her." Hasselhoff adds, "The film will be set in different locations around the world. There will be lifeguards who are also sent on crime-busting sprees."

American Beauty actress Mena Suvari is single no more.
For "almost two months" she has been dating Mike "Murda" Carrasco, a 23-year-old professional breakdancer who is part of Knucklehead Zoo, a Las Vegas-based troupe, she says. Asked where they met, Suvari, 26, answered, "at an event, at battle of the year," which Carrasco explained is "like the World Cup of breakdancing, and the USA qualifications were in Los Angeles, and we won that." "They win all the time," Suvari interjected proudly.
What the two of them won't be doing, however, is dancing all the time. She refuses. "He's such a good dancer, I'm extremely embarrassed," she says. As for their first date, Carrasco was a total gentleman, who didn't even try for a good-night kiss. "We just had dinner, had sushi," she said. "I gave him a hug and I was like, bye."
One thing that Suvari found really found attractive about Carrasco: "He didn't know anything about me," she said. "Nothing. He didn't know who I was or anything."
