Former pop star Gary Glitter has been arrested on suspicion of sex offenses as part of an ongoing police investigation into allegations of abuse surrounding late British TV entertainer Jimmy Savile.

The shamed music veteran, real name Paul Gadd, was detained by officers at his home early on Sunday morning and taken into custody at a London police station.

He was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree - an investigation into claims that Savile, who died last year, abused up to 300 youngsters throughout his long-running entertainment career.

A statement from the Metropolitan Police reads: "...

And here we are, finally at the place we'd been waiting to get to since the season began - a place of nothingness, a place of "Seinfeld". Of course, that didn't mean we had to leave "Curb Your Enthusiasm" completely behind in the process of returning to its predecessor.

The episode revolved around the table read and dress rehearsals for the "Seinfeld" reunion special. Those scenes were pretty much run-of-the-mill behind-the-scenes TV stuff, not a whole lot new, but it was a bit thrilling to see the rulers of 90s television back in their element.

The uniquely "Curb" touches came in t...

Disgraced rocker Gary Glitter is to launch a pop comeback - as soon as he is released from jail. The fallen star - real name Paul Gadd - is currently serving a three-year sentence in a Vietnam prison following his 2006 conviction for committing obscene acts with two Vietnamese girls, aged just 11 and 12.

He is due to be released in August, when he will be deported back to his native Britain - and he is reportedly planning a return to the charts.

He says, "I have an incomplete album that I want to finish. I have been thinking about the plan during my days in jail."

But Glitter...

Disgraced rocker Gary Glitter is facing more legal woes after a British aristocrat accused him of raping her when she was just 15 years old. Vanessa Grey has kept the alleged abuse a secret for 17 years because she was too ashamed to speak out about it - but she has finally broken her silence in an effort to convince authorities to ban the fallen star from returning to his native U.K.

Roger Daltrey's failing eyesight has ended the rocker's trademark microphone-swinging stage antics. The Who frontman worries he'll look foolish if her hurls a microphone into the air and then loses it in the lights.

And, after almost blinding Gary Glitter during rehearsals for The Who's Quadrophenia shows in London a decade ago - when he hit him with a stray mic - Daltrey has decided to retire his famous stage technique.

He says, "I got very good at it. I could probably have taken a cigarette out of someone's mouth (swinging the microphone). I wouldn't dare try it now, because I ...

Pedophile pop star Gary Glitter hopes to be pardoned by the Vietnamese government and released from prison next week. The 70s star - real name Paul Gadd - was convicted of committing obscene acts with two girls aged 11 and 12 and jailed in March 2006.

He isn't due for release until next year, but his legal team hopes he'll be included in a government amnesty that occurs each year on independence day.

Gadd's lawyer Le Than Kinh says, "I am hopeful. I believe punishment has now been sufficient. My client now wishes to return home (to Britain)."

The singer, 62, will be added ...

Jailed British rocker Gary Glitter is eyeing an early release from prison by appealing for amnesty from the president of Vietnam. Glitter - born Paul Francis Gadd - was convicted of committing obscene acts with children in the country in March 2006 but hopes Vietnam's Liberation Day celebrations later this month will give him a chance of early freedom.

His lawyer Le Thanh Kinh says, "My client will certainly seek an amnesty this time but it is still up to the president to decide if he would be released."

He added the government amnesty was discretionary but often happened on major...

Disgraced British rocker Gary Glitter is keeping shape by cutting down trees for lumber as part of his punishment in a Vietnam jail. Glitter - born Paul Francis Gadd - was convicted of committing obscene acts with children in March 2006.

The shamed singer, real name Paul Gadd, was sentenced to three years behind bars last month in Vietnam, but is set to be released on parole in November after being convicted of child molestation charges.

British authorities want to make sure he is sent back to the United Kingdom to face child pornography charges - and to make the 61-year-old criminal an example to other British paedophiles who indulge in 'sex...

Bad News: Doherty Pleads Guilty To Drug Possession

Kate Moss' ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty pleaded guilty to possessing heroin and cocaine at a court hearing in London yesterday. The Babyshambles frontman was arrested by police in west London on Nov. 30, and was bailed to appear at Ealing Magistrates Court today. The 26-year-old has a well documented history of drug abuse - he was sacked from The Libertines because his addictions were destroying the British band, and his relationship with supermodel Moss collapsed after she was photographed snorting cocaine in a London studio used by his new...

Disgraced rocker Gary Glitter could be set free if he pleads guilty to charges of obscene sex acts against two underage girls in Vietnam.

The singer, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, stands accused of kissing and engaging in physical acts with a 10-year-old and an 11-year-old at his residence in the Vietnamese resort of Vung Tau.

But Glitter only risks a prison term if his victims have to testify - he will be granted a softer punishment should he spare them the trauma of facing him in court.

His lawyer Le Thanh Kinh says, "Mr Glitter is aware that a guilty plea will be c...
