We're going to file this right along with such shocking stories as "Britney Spears is a bad mom" and "Pete Doherty does shit tons of drugs": Jonathan Rhys Meyers gets arrested for being a drunken skeeze. According to IMDB:
Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has been arrested by police after a drunken clash with airport staff. The Tudors star is reported to have launched into an angry tirade at Dublin airport on Sunday after being told he was "unfit to travel." He was then charged and spent the night in the cells. The incident took place as the handsome 30-year-old – who entered rehab citing alcohol as the problem earlier this year – tried to check in for a flight back to London, where he is now based, after appearing on an Irish chat show hours earlier. According to British newspaper The Sun, witnesses saw the star being verbally abusive to a female airport worker, and repeatedly insisting: "I will get on this flight, no matter what." A police spokesman said he was due to face two public order charges in court in Dublin on Monday. His agent was unavailable for comment.
We really feel for the less-than-A-list celebs out there who have to do such unappealing things as inch through airport security and endure questions like, "Weren't you in that one movie? The one with that guy who's on that TV show I like? It was set in France or Antarctica or somewhere? I think there was a girl in it. It wasn't very good." Your Brangelinas and Tomkats get to fly in peace on private jets, while less monetarily blessed celebs have to endure atrocities like teeny tiny bathrooms and no foie gras with the cracker and cheese appetizer. No wonder so many of them get shit faced and punchy when they get near planes. Hell, we're the same way, and we're not even famous.
