Fall Out Boy singer Patrick Stump arrested in L.A.

Categories: Music

Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump was arrested late Tuesday night in Los Angeles after a traffic stop revealed an outstanding warrant for driving without a valid license. The warrant was issued after Stump failed to appear before a Beverly Hills judge in June 2007; the singer was released Wednesday morning on $15,000 bail.

“All I really have to say is ignorance of the law isn’t innocence,” Stump said in a post-arrest interview with MTV News. “I didn’t want to give up my Illinois driver’s license and was unaware that was a crime. It is, by the way, in the state of California. Lesson learned. I technically broke a law, so technically I deserve whatever I get. But man, is my mom gonna be pissed.”

Alleged stalker of Miley Cyrus was planning to return to her movie set

Categories: Movies

A 53-year-old man charged with attempting to stalk singer-actress Miley Cyrus told an investigator that he hoped to return to the Georgia set of her movie The Last Song, where he planned on “finishing things,” reports the Associated Press.

A municipal court judge on Tuesday refused a request to lower Mark McLeod’s $55,200 bond and ruled there was sufficient evidence to send the case to Chatham County State Court. The judge felt McLeod had no chance of getting to the 16-year-old star because she “can afford the best protection money can buy,” but he feared McLeod might be a threat to others. Cyrus recently finished filming the movie, which is based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, on Tybee Island. Police say McLeod came to the island twice, asking where he could find Cyrus.
