AMERICAN IDOL STAR KELLIE PICKLER'S FATHER ARRESTED AGAIN AND IN JAIL

Kelli Pickler's Father In Jail For Second Time

The father of American Idol star and North Carolina native Kellie Pickler was back in jail Friday. He was released from a Florida prison last year after serving a three-year sentence for stabbing his neighbor. This time he’s in jail in North Carolina, but the charges are similar to those he faced last year. The arrest warrant filed against Mr. Pickler by his own wife. The statements she claims he made and the actions she claims he took were enough for sheriff’s deputies to make an arrest early Wednesday morning. Clyde Pickler Jr., 42, is in the Stanley County jail under a $20,000 bond. According to the Stanly County Sheriff Rick Burris, Pickler faces multiple charges, including “assault on a female communicating threats and assault with a deadly weapon; he was arrested without incident.” Clyde Pickler’s next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 28. His daughter Kellie is moving on with her signing career, and so far she isn’t commenting on her father’s latest arrest.

Cell Phone Batterer Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell says it is not fair to blame the fashion industry for the rise in anorexic teenagers.The supermodel - who was named Best Model at the Elle Style Awards this week - doesn't approve of the current trend for size zero models, and thinks the fashion industry is being unfairly made culpable. Naomi said: "I don't believe in size zero. I'm a size that's right for me, I don't diet for this industry."Fashion is healthy, models are given healthy food backstage back at fashion shows."I don't think it is fair to blame the fashion industry for anorexia, when it's a psychological disease."The size 0 debate has attracted comments from all over the fashion world. Legendary British model Twiggy recently condemned the trend.The 'America's Next Top Model' judge became a catwalk icon in the 60s thanks to her waif-like figure, but is adamant the current raft of models are far too thin. She said: "The fashion industry needs to be regulated to stop this dangerous size 0 trend."When you see a model with the lollipop look, where her head is too big for her body, it means she's dieting too much."

THUG LADY FOXY BROWN ARRESTED AGAIN

Not So Foxy Thug 'Foxy Brown'

Rapper Foxy Brown spent a night in jail after police said she threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee and later swatted an officer, her second legal problem stemming from a salon scuffle. The 27-year-old left jail Friday afternoon after a $1,500 bond was posted for her, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said. She was charged with battery and resisting an officer with violence. Brown's lawyer, New York state Sen. John Sampson, did not return a phone call seeking comment Friday. It was not immediately clear how Thursday's arrest would affect her sentence of three years' probation and anger management classes for attacking a pair of manicurists in New York City in 2004. The argument was about payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails in Manhattan's Chelsea area. According to the Florida arrest report, Brown was applying beauty products in the bathroom when a Queen Beauty Supply employee told her the business was closed and it was time to leave. She refused and threw hair glue at the employee, the report said. Brown then spat on the man as he called police, staining his shirt. A police officer found her in the shopping plaza, and tried to get her to return to the store. When the officer placed a hand on her arm to escort her to the store, Brown swatted it away, then started swinging her arms and struggling with the officer, the report said. The officer had to "use a takedown maneuver to gain control" of Brown, according to the report. No on was injured. Brown's real name is Inga Marchand. Her albums include "Ill Na Na" and "Chyna Doll" and she is known for her sexy outfits and racy lyrics. In December 2005, Brown's lawyer announced the rap artist was almost completely deaf. She was undergoing treatment.
