I FEEL BUSTED

The Godfather of Soul is back in trouble with the law. James Brown was arrested on Wednesday and charged with criminal domestic violence and suspicion of not owning any hair products. The 70-year-old singer allegedly pushed his wife, Tomi Rae Brown, to the floor during an argument in their South Carolina home. He was released from jail today after a brief hearing, during which he denied hurting his wife. Brown served more than two years in prison in the late '80s on drug and assault charges and was convicted of a drug-related offense in 1998.
