Child star grown up Frankie Muniz is having some tough times lately, and with each day the headlines about the actor keep getting more bizarre and troubling. Today the AP says "Police take gun away from actor Frankie Muniz," (via the Daily Breeze). Apparently Muniz and his girlfriend Elycia Turnbow got into a heated discussion about their past relationships at his Phoeniz, Arizona home, and Muniz "pulled out a gun and held it against his head."

It just takes one "anonymous tipster" to make gossip go viral these days, which is precisely what happened yesterday when celeb scandal-mongers TMZ passed on a report that came from the California Highway Patrol's own website regarding a "possible fatality" at the home of rapper Snoop Dogg that read: "The word is 'Snoop Doggy Dogg has the dead body of his wife in his basement"--a story which grew wings and spread like an STD at a frat house in seconds flat. Snoop, nee Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr, and his wife, Shante Taylor, have had their share of squabbles, but the rapper's manager has come forward to say that the story is "ridiculous." TMZ, classy lot that they are, added this parting thought to the item: "So this is either really funny ... or really, really, really messed up." Really? Recently, LAist chatted with Snoop about his own quirky sense of humor. more ›
