A man was arrested at Heathrow airport in London today for going ballistic on Mel B, Stephen Belafonte and a group of photogs.
At around 3 PM, Mel, Stephen and their baby arrived at Heathrow and were greeted by a few photogs. As they were exiting the airport a random man approached them and started talking to Belafonte. We don't know what was said between the two, but the man suddenly went crazy, screaming things like "I'll get a knife and stab you" at Stephen.
We're told a still photographer told the man to leave them alone -- which incited the guy to attack the photog, grabbing his clothes and trying to punch him.
Mel, Stephen, the baby and the photogs returned inside the airport to escape the situation, which is where they got the attention of a cop. A pile of officers suddenly appeared and arrested the man.
The photogs gave statements to police, and we're told cops will be looking for Mel B and her hubby to submit statements.

There were only two funny moments on SNL last week, and Mark Wahlberg only laughed at one.
Wahlberg was none too happy with the sketch, "Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals," according to the New York Post.
He said, "Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure. And "Saturday night Live" hasn't been funny for a long time. they've asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murrary. I don't even know who's on the show now."
"Entourage" hasn't been that funny for a long time either, but we still watch ... Geez, Mark.

Sam Ronson was threatened by a lawyer she's suing -- threatened with bad publicity, according to court papers.
Ronson is suing Martin Garbus, a high-profile lawyer who she claims botched her defamation case against Perez Hilton. The New York Daily News says according to the docs, after Ronson said she wouldn't pay Garbus' full legal bill, he sent her a draft of a lawsuit he planned to file against her with this warning -- "Please don't force me to do it ... The blogs will pick it up."
Garbus is an expert in the First Amendment -- that's the one that says you have a right to say whatever you want and make snarky threats to people who don't pay your bill.

Travis Barker just updated his fans on his recovery from the horrific airplane crash last month -- and he added in a nice slap to the face to Shanna Moakler.
His MySpace reads, "Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, I've been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and an Georgia. The hospitals I've been treated at are THE BEST."
Travis goes on the say he's now able to move all the fingers on his right hand, and he'll undergo his 7th surgery on Monday.
NOTE: The Shanna diss has been edited out of the main MySpace article -- but the line remains on Barker's actual page.

For those of you sick of hearing about Disney teen stars buying multi-million dollar homes during a major financial crisis -- just stop reading.
Vanessa Hudgens, 19, just sang and danced her way into a $2.75 million home in Studio City, Cal. Zac Efron can now visit Hudgens unchaperoned in her six bedroom, 6.5 bath, 5,200 sq. ft. home -- which includes pool, spa and a "barbeque island," according to the L.A. Times.
Also on part of Vanessa's new digs -- a wine cellar -- which, of course, she won't use till she turns 21. Because that would be illegal.

It probably sounded like a safe bet at the time: self-pronounced hockey mom Sarah Palin dropping the puck amongst peers at a Philadelphia Flyers game. Her campaign manager should've been more informed about Philly fans.
Just for knowin's sake, Philadelphia fans are legendary for being the most brutal in all of sports -- they once booed Santa Claus during an Eagles half-time show. But cut to last night, when Sarah skated into the Flyers' stadium to drop the ceremonial puck -- only to be greeted by a split of boos and cheers.
Politics really brings the best out in people.

Britney and papa Spears visited her boys at preschool yesterday, though she may want to cover up a little next time.
That pink bra is getting a lot of exposure. Granted, it definitely beats a pink wig.
