Celebrity Justice
Barenaked Lady Busted for Booger Sugar

According to cops, Lady Godiva ain't the only bare-naked lady riding a white horse.

Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page has been popped by cops in Central New York for allegedly possessing cocaine.

Cops in Manlius, NY say early last Friday morning officers saw a suspicious car with its doors open sitting outside an apartment building. While checking out the car, they observed a man and a woman inside one of the apartments sitting at a table with an "unknown white capsule" with a powdery substance in front of them. After a field test, the cops say the substance tested positive for cocaine.

The 38-year-old Page and a woman, 25-year-old Stephanie Ford, have both been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. Ford was also charged with pot possession.

Both have been released on $10,000 bail.

A rep for the band tells TMZ "We can not comment because the matter is before the court. We are confident that our client Steven will be completely exonerated. Until that time, it is business as usual for the Barenaked Ladies."

17. They're washed up and doing kiddie albums now.
Us up here in Canada don't give a rat's ass about them anymore.
One good album...and down hill form there.
And it's all "gimmicky" music.

He probably had twinkie's in his pockets too.

18. Aw, I love these guys, and Steven Page has a great voice, and great stage persona. I feel bad for the group and his (ex?) wife and 3 sons.

26. Fayetteville is one of the most expensive places to live in Onondaga County. There isn't any sub standard housing there. I work in Fayetteville and live like 10 minutes away. The taxes there are through the roof! He just got caught doing something stupid.

27. Cocaine is a horrible drug, and there are allot of people on here making fun. It is not funny, is hard drug use OK with everyone? I wish they would just shoot all the drug dealers. Bastards making money off of broken people. I hope this guy gets some help.

28. I was shocked when I read the headline, but after reading the article about it, we don't know the whole story. Not one of the articles have said Steve was actually doing the drug. For all we know, it could be a wrong place at the wrong time thing. Go to BNLmusic.com if you want to hear the story straight from the horses mouth instead of the media who are quick to jump to conclusions.

29. Other articles say cocaine was found in his pockets... bnl reps will put their own spin on it; I would trust the media more in this case. It's sad to see this talented man become such a cliche--a cliche for mid-life crises, a cliche for rock stars doing drugs. Very disappointing.
