Who knows if this will throw her off her game. An ambulance was called, but Lake downplayed the situation, Tweeting: “Not sure how my bruise turned into a medic showing up? I’m fine!! :)” Later, she Tweeted at former DWTS star Kirstie Alley, who was a hit last season: “I’ve got my work cut out for me. Channeling ya’ mama. xo”.

Amy Lee Skates To Detention On ‘When I Was 17’

Evanescence singer, Theophilus London and Chris Klein featured on new episode, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV. By Nuzhat Naoreen Amy Lee on “When I Was 17” Photo: MTV From accomplished vocalist to skilled pianist, Evanescence singer Amy Lee has plenty of talents to boast. But in the latest episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday, Amy reveals another skill that might surprise her fans: roller skating. In the episode, the singer-songwriter recounts how skating around her high school hallways landed her in some serious trouble. “When I was 17, our school had really slick floors. There was this really big hall, and it was perfect for roller skating,” the singer says. So, Amy decided to take advantage of the situation. “The halls are empty when people are in class, and if it’s just study hall or art or whatever, then why not go for a little skate?” Her “little skate” however wasn’t without its consequences. “I don’t know why I thought that that would be good,” she says. “So, I was skating by myself. Total nerd. And some other teacher was in the hall, and I skated by, and she was like, ‘Detention!’ ” While detention is a pretty common punishment for misbehaving high school students, it caught Amy’s father off-guard. “It was a little bit of a big deal. She got in trouble, and Amy typically never got in trouble,” says her father, John. Of course, even back in high school, Amy found a way to translate her experience with the teacher who sent her to detention into something creative. “One of my art pieces after that was her getting skated over by a giant skate,” Amy says. “When I Was 17,” also featuring Theophilus London and Chris Klein, airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV.

Billie Joe Armstrong Kicked Off Flight for… Saggy Pants?!?

He didn’t piss in an aisle . And he didn’t allege racism . But Billie Joe Armstrong was still kicked off a flight this week – and you won’t believe why. According to the Green Day singer, he was tossed off a Southwest flight from Oakland to Burbank because his pants were loose. Armstrong Tweeted today: “Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the f(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)? No joke!” A producer from ABC was actually on board the flight, according to Fox News, and says Armstrong replied by asking the attendant if there weren’t “better things to do than worry about that?” But the employee persisted, told the artist he could be taken off the plane if he did not comply… and that’s exactly what happened! Southwest spokesman Brad Hawkins subsequently released a statement that confirmed an incident took place, but added Armstrong was permitted on the next flight to Burbank and told a customer relations agent that he had no other complaints. “As soon as we became aware of what had happened, we reached out to apologize for this Customer’s experience,” the statement read. “He elected to take the next flight. We followed up with this Customer and involved Employees to get more details and, in our latest conversations, understand from the Customer the situation was resolved to his satisfaction.”

Oscar De La Hoya Admits to Cocaine Use, Thoughts of Suicide

In a new interview with Univision, former boxer Oscar De La Hoya has opened up about the depth of his personal issues, which culminated this spring in a trip to rehab . “Rock bottom was recently,” De La Hoya said, according to an English-language transcript provided by the network. “Within couple of years, just thinking if my life was even worth it. I don’t have the strength, I don’t have the courage to take my own life but I was thinking about it.” De La Hoya says he’s been sober for three months and admits, yes, he was unfaithful to his wife. However: “We are obviously not talking a Tiger Woods here.” Known as The Golden Boy during his time in the ring, De La Hoya retired in 2009 after a 16-year career and 10 world titles. He’s worked as a promoter in the sport since. “There were drugs, my drug of choice was cocaine and alcohol. Cocaine was recent. The last 2 years, last 2 1/2 years and I depended more in the alcohol than the cocaine,” De La Hoya said. “It took me to a place where I felt safe, it took me to a place where I felt as if nobody can say anything to me, it took me to a place where I just can reach out and grab my mom.” The athlete says he’s joined Alcoholic Anonymous.

Scarlett Johansson Is A Slob

What’s all this garbage, it looks like Scarlett Johansson , but that can’t be right. I thought Scarlett was a hot piece of ass, this chick is far too sloppy looking. I get that sometimes you want to dress casually and take it easy and enjoy what looks like some sort of green sludge of a beverage, but at least spice it up a little. A pair of tight spandex yoga pants would go a long way in this situation. Not to mention unleashing those big breasts of hers, they don’t need to be tucked so tightly into a sports bra, they’re not going to run away. Let them breathe.

The Duchess of Cambridge. The Boobies of Seaside. What’s not to love? We’ve already seen Anne Hathaway rapping this week.

The 28-year-old One Day actress had this to share with the mag: On her obsession : “Right now, I’m obsessed with Kate Middleton . Obsessed. I loved the Royal Wedding. I was so cynical going into it, and pseudo-political about the whole thing, but as soon as I saw her I was utterly charmed.” “I’m just completely enchanted by all things Kate and William. With everything she’s doing right now, I say, ‘Yay, Kate.’” On Jersey Shore : “When I first saw the show, I thought, Wow, they are having a very different experience there than my experience in Cape May.” “I thought the first season of the show was awesome because it was authentic, but I don’t watch anymore because they know there’s a camera there.” “The Situation is totally self-aware. He’s referring to himself as The Situation non-stop. In the episode I saw, his car got towed, and he was like, ‘We’ve got a situation here, and The Situation is the situation.’” On Snooki and J-Woww : “I watch MTV for escapist pleasure, but when I saw Snooki, I saw my twin . I couldn’t lose myself in the show because there I was.” “That being said, I think JWoww is amazing. I love JWoww . She’s intense. See, JWoww to me is proper Jersey because she will scrap for a friend.” So true. Just ask Sammi: Jersey Shore Fight in Slow Motion
