Yes you read that title correctly. Big Boi was arrested today in Miami for drug possession. He was arrested with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

TMZ reports the substances were ecstasy pills, MDMA powder and Viagra. All charges are felonies.

Border control dogs identified the substances while he was exiting a cruise ship. Also Big Boi didn’t have a prescription for the Viagra.

We can understand his embarrassment regarding the Viagra. It’s hard (no pun intended) talking to a Doctor about his downstairs. We sympathize completely with his need to pick it up on the black market.

Ah well. Maybe it’s just easier to talk to your doctor.

Avril Lavigne’s curses have shocked baseball fans, reports Canoe Jam Entertainment.

The pop star was performing at a Tampa Bay Rays game in Florida this past weekend, when she apparently cussed out the technicians as she experienced sound problems.

Officials of the stadium have since apologized to fans, stating they were “extremely disappointed” by her foul language.

Lavigne was performing a short set as part of the team’s summer concert series, but quickly become angry and cursed in front of 25,000 shocked fans. Talk about professionalism.

A Rays spokesman issued a statement, saying, “The Rays demand profanity-free performances from all of our concert performers, and we are extremely disappointed… It is not consistent with the atmosphere that Tropicana Field is known for.”

She’s never been known for her class or respectable language, so this doesn’t shock me. I think it is so unprofessional for her to cuss out the technicians, let alone in front of a huge audience, because it is truly not their fault! Hopefully she learns from the backlash she’s receiving and learns to act a little more respectably.

The University of Florida is apparently furious that one of their students partied on camera with the ‘Jersey Shore’ crew. The officials who run the study abroad program in Italy, where the show is being filmed, have reportedly given their student an ultimatum; stay away from the cast or be expelled.

The University of Florida sent out an email to students participating in their study abroad program in Italy, stating that “any student who does agree to participate in the filming of the show, or who signs a waiver or legal agreement of any sort with MTV, will be dismissed from the program immediately.”

The email also warned the students that any action deemed potentially embarrassing to the school “will not be tolerated.” The school threatened to contact the student’s parental units to inform them why the school would be kicking them out of the program.

TMZ spoke with Janine Sikes, UF Director of Public Affairs, who said, “Generally speaking, students may participate in activities outside their Study Abroad program as long as they meet the academic and living requirements of that program.”

I mean, if the show doesn’t mention the university at all, why does it matter? I could understand if they didn’t want the cast and crew on their campus, but what students do on their own time is none of their business.

On the plus side, though, this is probably the closest that Snookie, The Situation or DJ Pauly D will ever get to being connected with academics.
