HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO R.E.M.'s MICHAEL STIPE

BSB'S NICK CARTER ARRESTED:

The youngest Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter (21), was arrested Wednesday night at a Tampa, Florida nightclub called Pop City.

Seems the police were called to the popular hotspot because of a fight. As officers attempted to smooth over the situation, Nick got

into a yelling match with some girl. He was told to pipe down and move along but refused to comply. Officers then told him to leave the

premises (more than 10 times!) before having enough of his insolence and cuffing him.

He was charged with misdemeanor resisting/opposing a law enforcement officer without violence and released on his own

recognizance. He'll be expected in court to face the charge on March 4th.

An eyewitness told thesmokinggun.com that "The cops arrested him, put him in handcuffs, and then put him in the police car. Nick

wasn't belligerent, but he started bawling. He said, 'You just want to arrest a Backstreet Boy. I've never been arrested. I don't know

what to do!' He was crying hard. Tears were streaming down his face. People were laughing at him. The cops were chuckling."

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon is developing another series, this time for Fox. The show, called "Firefly" set to hit

Fox next fall, is a sci-fi adventure show, following a bunch of unhappy people throughout history as they band together and take off on

a space ship in search of a way to right the wrongs they've done. I know, it sounds very vague to me, too, and more than a little bit like

a "Star Trek/Quantum Leap" kinda thing. But, then again, it is JOSS who's behind it so it's bound to be cool. Will learn more about it

over the next couple of months, and I'll keep you posted.
