There must be something in the water in the NFL. Cleveland police say Buffalo Bills player Donte Whitner had to be shocked with a stun gun and arrested early this morning.
Officers were at the House of Blues trying to control a rowdy crowd outside the club, when the defensive back acted like he was on the field and forced his way past them and then broke free from officers trying to restrain him. He is the third Bills player to run into trouble with the law this year.
Whitner was arrested for aggravated disorderly conduct and resisting arrest but hasn't been charged. He has released a statement saying he regrets the incident.

How's this for action. Northern Trust -- the bank TMZ exposed this week for throwing a series of lavish parties and concerts in L.A. -- is giving back the $1.6 billion in federal bailout money!
We had our cameras out as the bank hosted fancy dinners for hundreds of clients and employees. We had video of the Sheryl Crow concert it threw after closing down the House of Blues. And then there were concerts by Chicago, as well as Earth, Wind & Fire ... and the Tiffany gift bags for the ladies.
The story triggered a furor in D.C. ... Congressman Barney Frank demanded that Northern Trust repay the money it blew.
Outrageously, the bank didn't even ask for the bailout money in the first place. But now, under pressure, Northern Trust CEO Frederick Waddell sent a letter to members of the House Financial Services Committee, saying his bank will repay the government funds "as quickly as prudently possible."

Sheryl Crow was in no mood to talk about her now-famous performance for the pampered peeps at Northern Trust as she landed in Washington D.C. yesterday.
Seemed like a fair subject -- Congress is in a rage after seeing our story about the millions of bucks Northern Trust blew last week on partying and golf. And speaking of rage, get a load of Sheryl's assistant.

You're in luck. Because a TMZ staffer scored a ticket to night two of Britney's "secret" tour, you've got a front row seat to the show, er, concert, er performance, er... whatever.
After a two hour delay, excited fans began chanting her name. Then the wigged singer finally hit the stage, and the crowd went completely nuts. But wait- is she chewing gum?!? Damn. Lip synching AND chewing. She really IS talented.
Her fans, however couldn't care less and rocked out to exactly 12 minutes of her "vocals." Money well spent.

TMZ spies were out in force last night for Britney's comeback debut, and it was overheard during the wait for Brit to appear, that many were hoping she wouldn't actually sing -- but lip-sync!
Fans who paid a ridiculous amount of cash for tickets wanted their money's worth -- our spy, who paid $300, said he was ecstatic that Spears did what she does best -- dance -- but he was happier she didn't sing!
"Real fans of Britney know what they're getting, a hot performance, not a singer," said our informant. He also said that although there were definitely a few fans who weren't satisfied with the show, the majority of the crowd LOVED every minute ... all 15 of them!

Joss Stone recently canned her mother as her manager, but the 19-year-old may be in over her head by trying to handle her career by herself. A TMZ source tells us that Joss "has been much more flakey lately since her mother was taken out of the loop."
Stone recently canceled at the last minute on several interviews, blaming a case of bronchitis. A TMZ staffer attended her concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles last night, reporting that Joss was "Unbelievable! She did have a rattling sound and coughed every so often, but her performance couldn't have been better."
Joss proved her performance skills, but it's unknown if she'll be able to cope with the business side without mom.

In a last ditch effort to salvage his failing rap career, Kevin Federline has slashed the price of admission to his concert tour to a whopping... $0.00. Nope, it's not a typo.
Federline, "who comes tight with every rhyme," is giving away tickets to tonight's performance at the House of Blues in Chicago. Why, you ask? Because he had a miserable 20% turnout in New York this past weekend.
Fans (if there are any) can log on to Ticketmaster.com, but it will cost you -- $9.39 in fees and taxes.

Justin Timberlake unveiled new material from his upcoming album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" Friday at House of Blues on the Sunset Strip.
And when you are a bastion of sexuality like Justin Timberlake (it also doesn't hurt that the name of your lead single is "SexyBack" and your girlfriend is Cameron Diaz) you can bet there is going to be some star power not only on the stage but also in the audience.
The likes of will.i.am, Three 6 Mafia, and Timbaland participated in the musical carousing on stage, while stars like Paris Hilton, Tyra Banks, Ellen, and Jeremy Piven joined Justin's lady love in the audience.
