He's Ant it again!

Omigod. Does anyone remember last summer's escapade, when Adam Ant threw a car part thru a pub window because people laughed at what he was wearing? He was wearing cowboy duds--not to be confused with the "highwayman" gear that he wore when he had a musical career.

Well...still more Antics.




Former UK Star Adam Ant Arrested After Stripping

LONDON (Reuters) - Former British pop star Adam Ant has been arrested after apparently running amok and stripping off in a London cafe.



Police said on Thursday they had arrested a 49-year-old man on suspicion of criminal damage, while The Sun newspaper showed pictures of the former 1980s heartthrob being held by two burly policemen, a blanket wrapped around his waist.



Newspapers said Ant, real name Stuart Goddard, had "gone berserk" near his north London home on Wednesday before stripping off his trousers in the cafe.



The outburst follows an episode last summer when he threatened customers at his local pub who had laughed at his cowboy attire. He walked free from court in October after judges ruled he was suffering from temporary mental illness.



Ant's career saw him selling 15 million records, including punk-pop hits like "Prince Charming" and "Stand and Deliver." Police said he had been released on bail until mid-July.

I want to apologize immediately for this thread. I don't even have the excuse of having had a hand up my butt during its composition. Now my head....

Anyone who thinks posting with a hand up his butt is an excuse for what he posts isn't responsible enough to hang out in the alley.

Which is why we are welcome here.

Presumably, Mr Ant is presently wearing an unflattering bathrobe, planted in front of a TV at a luxury mental illness facility, mumbling to himself "I WAS A STAR!!!!" Such is the life of a former icon.

Mr. Ant could take a cue from Billy Idol who has handled his afterfame with surprising maturity.

The obvious question is, how do you know?

Having provided no spectacle to the contrary is how I know.
