Saint or Sinner?
Scott Stapp was recently invited to co-host Spike TV’s “Casino Cinema”, one of the 10,000 movie shows that plays a movie and break for vignettes that center around some theme, in this case gambling. (I personally prefer TBS’s “Dinner and a Movie”, but that’s probably due to the fact that I am a fat guy and really REALLY like to eat!) Turns out that Mr. “Arms Wide Open” Stapp likes to hit the bottle… and hard.
Maybe rocker Scott Stapp - former front man for the very pious Christian rock band Creed - was possessed by Satan when he showed up for a taping of the Spike TV show “Casino Cinema” on Tuesday afternoon.
According to multiple sources on the set, the 32-year-old Stapp appeared intoxicated when he arrived at the show’s upper East Side studio and proceeded to terrorize hosts Beth Ostrosky and Steve Schirripa, the producers and the crew members alike with his boorish and vulgar antics on- and off-camera.
NY Daily News writer Lloyd Grove goes on to explain that he excessively called women on the set “bitches”, the host a “bimbo”, and he bashes other rock stars on the set. Apparently, according to the drunk God-rocker, Bono and The Edge are assholes and Dave Grohl has a small package. He even :gasp: said the “fuck” word.
AND on Thanksgiving he attacked the members of 311 and started a brawl. Don’t we all wish we could have been there to see that? Drunken brawls, showing up drunk to TV appearance, perhaps Stapp has a real problem… besides his music.
This writer is not too suprised. I’ve always thought Stapp was possessed by Satan and/or sold his soul for fame. If he didn’t make a deal with Old Scratch, then tell me how… HOW… can a man who sounds like a constipated combination of Eddie Vedder and a frog have several #1 hits? And, furthermore, I would drink alot if I were Scott Stapp too, I mean, just look at him.

That unbuttoned, er, untied shirt just screams “tortured soul.” The drunken belligerence and untied shirts aside, isn’t gambling supposed to be one of those things the Bible frowns upon?
David Cross tells about his run-in with Stapp on It’s Not Funny. Sure, David Cross is absolutely begging for it anytime somebody attempts to call him out, but that doesn’t make Scott Stapp any less of an ass or David Cross any less right.

as a christian myself, i don’t think the bible is anti-gambling specifically. the message would be something along the lines of not over-indulging in anything, it was all about moderation. but i do see the irony in the fact that mr. super-christian was co-hosting a show revolng around gambling.
i guess i’m not what one would call a conservative christian either, thus my assumption is that many pat robertson watchin’, joel osteen listenin’, bill graham crusadin’ christian folks would say the gambling (if i may quote the waterboy’s mother) “is the devil”.
yeah… that being said, scott stapp is STILL an ass
