Country Star Rodney Atkins Arrested: Wife Claims He Tried to Smother Her With Pillow
Pillow talk this was not.
Country crooner Rodney Atkins was arrested last month in Tennessee for domestic violence after his wife, Tammy Jo, accused him of trying to smother her with a pillow.
We're guessing Rodney's got plenty of new material for his next album. Here's what happened.
Forget Avril and Brody: Here Are Five Other Celeb Bar Brawls That Made Headlines
As Avril Lavigne tweeted after the bar fight she and boyfriend Brody Jenner got into over the weekend: "Violence is never the answer."
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for some other Tinseltown types who—in their desire to protect their gal-pal, their pals or their pride—resort to fisticuffs, a decision that usually lands them a slew of negative tabloid publicity and in some cases, a date with a judge.
E! News has a roundup of five other memorable celebrity brawls. Check it out:
Matthew Fox Takes Female Bus Driver to Court Over Party Bus Scuffle
If you ask Matthew Fox, she was the one to commit the party foul, not him.
The former Lost and Party of Five star is firing back with a countersuit against a female bus driver who sued Fox in September for allegedly socking her in her groin when she denied him entry onto a party bus outside a Cleveland bar.
So what's the latest in this ongoing legal drama? Depends on your vantage point.
Does Shia LaBeouf Have a Beef With Rocker Marilyn Manson?
For Shia LaBeouf, some things are hard to shake, like having an unfortunate reputation for getting into celebrity feuds (hi there, Frankie Muniz).
According to the latest reports, the Transformers star supposedly suffered a "public meltdown" at a Los Angeles hot spot the other night, not only spitting water on his date but also taking aim at Marilyn Manson before storming out.
Here's what went down.
UPDATE!
Solange Knowles: Miami Cop Pulled a Weapon on Me!
It was supposed to be a happy weekend with big sis Beyoncé breaking the news at last night's MTV Video Music Awards that she and hubby Jay-Z are expecting .
But instead of focusing exclusively on the celebration, Solange Knowles ended up having a run-in with Miami police that left her tweeting mad over some alleged "discrimination."
So what happened exactly, according to Solange?
EXCLUSIVE!
Paparazzo: Keith Urban Attacked Me!
The way this paparazzo makes it out, Keith Urban came close to pulling a Sean Penn.
Willem Pietersen, the photographer who filed a complaint with Nashville police Monday, after the country music star allegedly assaulted the photog's car, tells E! News that he did nothing to warrant Urban's supposed action.
Save that picture-taking part, perhaps. Anyhow, here's what he has to say.
Paz de la Huerta Admits to Smackdown With The City Star, Ordered to Sober Up
This Boardwalk Empire star won't be walking the plank.
Paz de la Huerta, who plays Steve Buscemi's sexy, if meanie, strumpet in the hit HBO period drama, pleaded guilty this morning in Manhattan Criminal Court to one count of second-degree harassment stemming from a March bar brawl with The City's Samantha Swetra.
No need to call in Nucky to get her out of this one.
Ex-Queens of the Stone Age Rocker in Standoff With LAPD
Someone needs to go with the flow all right.
Nick Oliveri, a former bassist for California rock band Queens of the Stone Age, was arrested Tuesday night following a five-hour standoff with a SWAT team after he allegedly prevented his estranged girlfriend from leaving their Los Angeles home.
Maybe she wasn't a fan of the goatee.
Weston Cage and Wife Popped for Domestic Violence
Weston Cage's Independence Day ended with fireworks, all right.
Nicolas Cage's trouble-prone son and his wife of two months, Nikki Williams, were arrested on felony domestic violence charges, E! News can confirm.

Boardwalk Empire's Paz de la Huerta Restrained for Alleged Reality Star Smackdown
Too bad she doesn't have Nucky Thompson to get her out of this one.
Paz de la Huerta, who plays the flapper girlfriend to Steve Buscemi's crime kingpin character in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, was arraigned Tuesday on charges she beat up a reality show star at a New York City nightclub last month.
And they say there's too much violence on TV...
