Scott Stapp Makes me Laugh

Former Creed frontman/current solo artist Scott Stapp is an idiot... He's approaching Fred Durst status, at this point.

I've seen about ten different versions of what happened, but here's what seems to be the most accurate account (given all in common with the various reports):

Thanksgiving Day... Baltimore... Hotel lounge... Members of the band 311 were watching a basketball game with their wives when Stapp comes in... he is obviously very intoxicated... he talks to the members about how he jumped onstage at a 311 show and they didn't throw him off, and he thought is was cool... He then starts spouting about how that "helped him" (?) do whatever it took to start his own band, "win a Grammy, VMA's, Billboard Awards, sell 30 million albums, blah blah blah, I'm a drunken dick..." He then goes over to the bar and starts doing shots, at one point throwing the shotglass against the bar and breaking it (should have been asked to leave at that point, in my opinion). He then goes over and sits with a 311 member and his wife, who had moved to a table to avoid Stapp and his escapades... Stapp says that he would like to fuck the guy's wife... Another member of 311 joins the table... first member asks Stapp to leave the table... Stapp then sucker punches the member that just joined the table... brawl ensues... Stapp's significant othe comes over and sits on him to keep him from getting up and getting beaten further... Stapp is eventually restrained by hotel security and asked to leave the hotel... One person from the hotel says that 311 started the fight, while basically everyone else maintains that Stapp was the one looking for trouble.

There are also reports that he attended a taping of a show for Spike TV show Casino Cinema this past Tuesday... He showed up intoxicated and behaved "poorly."

From the moment he walked into the studio, he was rude, belligerent and drunk," an eyewitness tells the New York Daily News.

"With (host) Beth (Ostrosky), he was nothing but extremely mean, sexist and an all-around jerk."

Another source reports that even with his publicist along, Stapp cursed "every other word," constantly flipped the bird and referred to Ostrosky as a "bimbo."

My guess is that this is the only way he can continue to generate any press, because his music is so pathetically sucky... gotta get in the news somehow, so maybe getting shitfaced and acting like a clown is how he thinks he needs to do it... to which I say, "Way to go... dumbass."
