» Not The Wright Stuff
Jeffrey Wright, aka Basquiat, Martin Luther King, Jr., Tony-winning thespian, etc., was arrested along with his W costar Josh Brolin and several crew members after a bar fight in Shreveport, La. The men are in town shooting the Oliver Stone-directed George W. Bush biopic (Brolin's W, Wright is Colin Powell). Apparently, they all interfered with the arrest of a disorderly crew member. Wouldn't we all like to see the actual G.W. in jail? [CBS] |

SIT DOWN, DMX. JUST SIT DOWN. DMX was arrested at his Arizona home yesterday after traffic cameras on a suburban Phoenix freeway caught his bright yellow, 1966 Chevrolet (with a big DMX decal on the windshield) on three separate occasions going 100, 101 and 114 mph in a 65 mph zone. His lawyer said he had no comment, but we can probably guess his defense: "It wasn't me!" [SP] |

TIME FOR A WAKE-UP CALL Naomi Campbell is said to believe that she was only arrested at Heathrow airport last week and subsequently banned from British Airways because she was black. Not, of course, because she caused a scene, spit on police officers, and has a history of acting a damn fool. [SS] |
