ANOTHER RAPPER ARRESTED AT HEATHROW: Two weeks ago it was Snoop; now it's DMX's turn to act a fool.

(May 15, 2006)

*Here we go again. Haven't we seen this movie before? Those would seem to be the proper cliché's for this story. That's because rapper-actor DMX was arrested again. Yeah, we know. What else is new. This time it's for being belligerent to a flight crew on his way to London.

According to reports, X apparently refused cinch his seat belt as his plane made its final approach and then launched into a tirade. (Cue the music: "Y'all gon' make me lose my mind up heah, up in heah!")

Anyway, at that point the captain of the American Airlines flight from New York's JFK airport alerted police and DMX (real name Earl Simmons) was arrested once the plane had landed on Saturday.

"The plane landed at approximately 12:15pm and a 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being verbally abusive to cabin crew." A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said. "He was taken to the police station and later released with a caution."

And since he's doing a reality TV show for BET and has a camera crew following him around, we can only wonder if the madness was staged, er, captured for the show.
