Porn star Stormy Daniels allegedly lived up to her name this weekend -- her husband claims she became an enraged hurricane of destruction over "the way the laundry had been done" and a few unpaid bills.
According to Tampa cops, 30-year-old Daniels was arrested on Saturday after she allegedly smashed a bunch of stuff inside her home and then beat up her husband. Stormy's hubby, Michael Mosny, told cops she got mad over the way the laundry had been done ... then lost her mind shortly after when she discovered some unpaid bills.
Mosny told cops she threw a potted plant into the sink then "hit [me] in the head with her hands several times." Stormy was booked for misdemeanor battery -- which may screw up her chances when she runs for Louisiana Senator in 2010.

The son of former New York Yankees star Don Mattingly was arrested in Evansville, Indiana yesterday after cops say he shoved his poor mother to the ground -- then spit in her face.
According to an affidavit acquired by The Evansville Courier & Press, 24-year-old Taylor Mattingly told cops he jumped the fence at his mom's house to confront her over an insulting text message she sent to him.
Taylor also admitted he "snapped" and flipped over a patio table, broke a door and window and tossed furniture into the walls of their pool house.
Mattingly was booked in the county jail and faces preliminary charges of battery by bodily waste, battery and criminal mischief. He was released on $250 cash bond.
Lucky for him, the jail's camera was broken at the time -- so no mugshot for the hall of shame.

While trying to convince the world she's a country singer in Grand Rapids, MI last Thursday, Jessica Simpson made a fatal error -- no lip-synching!
Seen in this video from woodradio.com, nearly every song was a disaster while Simpson fought with her earpiece monitor, mumbled through most of her lyrics, and at one point talked through tears. On a brighter note, she didn't look fat!

Tracy Jordan absolutely flipped out on the set of "TGS" -- going insane looney bananas in a Bale-style attack on a studio camera guy for "filming me while I'm trying to f**king act."
Somehow the blow-up happened to be caught on audio tape ... and it's the funniest thing you're going to hear all day.
Obviously, it's a spoof -- and if you don't watch "30 Rock," have somebody who does explain the joke to you.

This poor guy didn't realize his lift pass came with an impromptu upside down peep show.
According to The Smoking Gun, this bizarre chairlift mishap left the Vail skier dangling head over heels for 15 minutes freezing his ass off -- for reals!
Employees of the Blue Sky Basin eventually got the man down before he could fall through the, er, crack.
BTW -- in the guy's defense, it was really cold.

Dare we say it? Kanye West could learn a lot from Ashlee Simpson -- such as if you can't sing, lip-synch. Turns out It's less embarrassing.
West stunk up the stage on "SNL" last night -- so maybe it was supposed to be a joke.

There are two constants in life -- Home Shopping Network hosts can get excited about everything and Janice Dickinson is a bitch.
TMZ sources say that flamboyant Home Shopping Network host Adam Freeman and the entire HSN staff have major haterade for all things Janice after she showed up to hawk her jewelry line acting like, well, Janice.
We're told Dickinson told Adam backstage he needed to lose 20 lbs. and that she was extremely rude to employees who originally were excited for her presence.
The water cooler conversations in HSN's offices this week have revolved around the "We hate her and are very disappointed" standpoint.
No surprise there.

The other Knowles sister (not Beyonce) went all superbitch on a local Las Vegas anchor today -- showing the world she's not only Beyonce's younger sister, but she's also the dumb one.
During a commercial break, the anchors on KVVU asked Beyonce's little sister and her rep if they could mention Jay-Z during the interview. The rep shot them down -- wanting the focus to stay solely on Beyonce's little sister-- and the station agreed.
But dammit if Beyonce's little sister didn't go off on the anchor anyway -- on live TV. Ring the alarm!

Mindy McCready is going back to rehab after trying to do herself in with her favorite swiggable and pharmaceutical -- vodka and Ambien -- and we hear Dr. Phil's inserting himself in the whole she-bang.
TMZ has learned the troubled McCready went off the deep end late last week after getting dumped by her boyfriend and collapsed while on the phone with her mother. She downed a bottle of vods and pills in what we're told was a "suicide attempt."
She's headed to Arizona for treatment, and a source says that was all Phil's idea. We're told he's taken Mindy under his wing as a "personal project." As for whether or not she'll be on the show, time will tell.
We contacted Phil -- so far, no answer. Mindy's peeps had no comment.
UPDATE: A rep for the good Dr. P tells TMZ, "Dr. Phil has not treated patients one-on-one since his show went on air. Ms. McCready's situation is private and we respect her right to privacy in a difficult time."
