Naomi Campbell is off the hook for giving her driver one.

Early this week, police in mid-town Manhattan were on the look-out for Campbell when her limo driver accused her of beating him.

Miodrag Mejdina recanted his story once the cheque from Naomi cleared and issued a statement through his lawyer saying,  “I had an argument with Naomi Campbell. I got angry and overreacted.  I regret involving the police. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion and I apologize to Ms. Campbell for causing that to happen.”

Naomi is talking for the first time about what happened and while she neither confirms nor denies that she hit him, she says “I was accused of unacceptable behavior towards a driver in New York. I have worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I will not be held hostage to my past. I try to treat everyone with respect and I am pleased the driver has apologized. I would like to put the last few days behind me and move on.”

Of course, “treating everyone with respect” to Naomi means leaving them semi-conscious instead of KO’d after lobbing cell phones at their heads.

Drama unfolded in the Jackson household yesterday as Jermaine Jackson’s kid Jafaar (naming your kid after a Disney cartoon villain is never a good start) decided to test a taser out on Michael Jackson’s youngest, 8 year old Blanket.

Apparently, Jafaar had ordered the stun gun online and had it in his position for a few days when he allegedly decided (at Jermaine’s urging?) to try it out on his younger cousin. 

Security and Katherine Jackson (MJ’s mother) heard the commotion and immediately confiscated the weapon.  Blanket was unhurt and Child Protective Services were called in to investigate. 

The Jackson family is saying that Blanket never actually got zapped by the thing, (probably not from a lack of trying on Jafaar’s part) meaning that the little bugger can probably move pretty fast when he needs to.

Kids do stupid things all the time (some of my stunts were epic) but there’s something sinister to this story.  Jackson’s kids are worth a huge fortune and some members of that family seem to be very greedy.  Just sayin’…

Suspect is considered armed and potentially dangerous.  (May be weilding shoe, or cellular device.)

Naomi Cambell proved true to her usual form yesterday afternoon and beat on her limo driver.  Guess when bitch wants you to pull over, she means NOW.

The attack took place yesterday afternoon in midtown Manhattan.  Apparently, Cambell accused the driver of “covering” for her Russian billionaire mobster boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin when the attack occured. 

Dude probably had enough of Naomi’s particular brand of crazy and went into hiding back in Mother Russia.

Police are still searching for the 39 mal-tempered model, who was last seen wearing a long black designer coat and boots disapearing into the crowd, weave flying.

Approach at your own risk, as suspect is extremley volitile.  Can be warded off using a copy of Vogue, or a mirror with no retouching or photoshop capabilities.

Looks like those rumours about someone putting a hit out on Jon Cryer of Two and a half Men may have had some substance to them after all.

Apparently, Cryer and his ex-wife Sarah Trigger are in the middle of an extremely bitter custody battle.  How bitter?  According to TMZ, she asked her ex boyfriend Eddie Sanchez to take Cryer out (meaning as in kill, not as in date). 

For her part, Trigger (perfect name for a murder plot) and her lawyer claim that the ex-boyfriend is now recanting his previous statements to the FBI.

With Charlie Sheen currently in rehab, and now this, you have to wonder if the show-runners are thinking of renaming the sitcom  A Half Man, until all this drama involving the Two subsides.

Although both his parents have done nothing but support Cameron Douglas and his many, many, brushes with the law over the years, guess once you reach your 30’s, trying to blame your parents for everything you do loses it’s effectiveness when trying to excuse bad behaviour.

That’s what the 31 year old son of actor Michael Douglas found when his lawyers tried that tactic with a judge yesterday, trying to get Cam moved to house arrest from a federal prison. 

A high school drop out and mostly unemployed actor, Cam was under arrest last summer for dealing Crystal Meth when he had his girlfriend try to sneak drugs to him in prison inside an electric toothbrush.  Epic fail.  

Cam’s lawyers tried to blame his “dysfunctional upbringing” as the cause for all his troubles, but the Judge ordered Cameron back behind bars, saying that the chances of him remaining sober are better behind bars.

Talk about a “what if” scenario.

In 2008 while filming Terminator:Salvation, Christian Bale made headlines around the world when he went off on the director of photography for a good 5 minutes, screaming at Shane Hurlbut for ruining his “light” while filming.  It was one of the single greatest examples of celebrity hissy fits ever and was all caught on audio, then leaked.  The rant in all it’s glory is still available to listen to on You Tube.  Bale’s still trying to live it down (good luck with that).

Now it turns out that Bale really did have something to freak out about.  The house he had rented while filming had a dead body buried in it’s back yard.  A man named Michael Snyder had disappeared almost eight years prior and his body had been hidden on the property since.  Police were tipped off last week regarding the case and found what’s left of him, charging his ex-wife with murder.

Fresh off announcing last week that she’s a hoarder (except she isn’t really) on The Insider, and the rumour Friday that she threw a drink in ex-girlfriend Sam Ronson’s face in some club, comes word that Lindsay Lohan’s relationship with th DJ was violent.

Apparently, some source (Lindsay, Dina, or Michael, take your pick) told Radar that Lindsay said Sam beat and choked her one time.

While I’m sure the two of them probably had screaming matches complete with things being thrown at each other and out of windows, regardless of whether they were opened or not, I doubt it actually escalated to this point.

Cracked out as Lindsay is and as anti-social as Sam appears, neither one is stupid enough to physically assault the other.  Why?  First, they needed each other.  Sam was the only reason Lindsay was getting any mention in the press for a time, while Sam needed Lindsay to help make her an in-demand DJ.  Second, an assault would have meant game over, something neither could afford at the time.

These stories that come from nameless sources that quote things people allegedly told them once are as tiresome as they are ultimately unprovable.

This blows.  Literally.

Nick Snider, a 21 year old male model who is “the face” of Prada, found himself in hot water with the police in Batesville AK.  Apparently, he was arrested for being drunk and disorderly at a female friends house.  Nick’s solution to try and get out of trouble?  Offer the arresting officer a blow job in exchange for letting him go.

Unfortunately for Nick,  the officer didn’t swing that way, and took him into custody at the police station.  There, Nick tried his luck again with the same offer, this time to the booking officer, who added a charge of illegally trying to influence a public servant to the two misdemeanor counts against him.

Nick was released on $780 bail and is scheduled to appear February 17th in court.  No word yet if he made the offer to any other people while in jail or if they took him up on it. 

Nick’s next appearance will be on several runways starting next week when New York Fashion Week revs up, or possibly on his knees in front of booking agents.

They really go bad.

TMZ is reporting that Leif Garrett, a pin-up boy for the Tiger Beat set back  in the mid-1970’s was arrested for heroin possession earlier this week at a subway station in downtown LA.

The 49 year old initially attracted attention to himself by sweating, shaking, and generally acting sketchy.  Police asked if they could search his person and Garrett admitted to carrying drugs in his shoe.  He was arrested on the spot and managed to make the $10 000 bail this morning. 

Previously, Garrett was ordered into court over rehab for violating probation stemming from a 2005 arrest for cocaine possession when he was found on the subway system carrying heroin and quaaludes in 2006.

Quaaludes?  How retro. 

Garrett’s next court appearance is set for Feb 24th.

Rip Torn’s next role will be a prison inmate unless his lawyers are very good.

E! (via The Register Citizen) is reporting that the 78 year old star of Men In Black and Mars Attacks! has been arrested for trying to pull a bank heist in Salisbury, CT.

Apparently, Torn had a major case of the drunks and decided he wanted to make a withdrawal from his local bank.  Unfortunately, they were closed at the time, so he did what anyone would do in that circumstance, and broke in. 

Police that responded to the alarm say they found him highly intoxicated with a loaded revolver.  Torn has gotten himself in trouble with the law before, in 2004 he was charged with drunk driving (the case was dismissed) and in 2007 he entered a guilty plea to being ability impaired while operating a vehicle.

Charges for this latest caper of Torn’s include carrying a firearm while intoxicated, carrying a firearm without a permit, mischief, criminal tresspass and burglery.  Bail has been set at $100 grand and his first court date is scheduled for Monday.
