Lookin' Good

Leif Garrett has been arrested. Again.

The 1970s pop star was busted Monday in Los Angeles for possession of a controlled substance, TMZ reports.

The arrest went down at 11:20 at L.A.'s downtown Metrolink station.

This is not Garret's first drug-related arrest, nor is it his first arrest on public transportation.

In 2006, Garrett was nabbed for riding a train without a ticket, at which time cops found heroin and quaaludes on his person.

In 2005, he pled guilty to cocaine possession.

In 1979, Garrett crashed his car while under the influence of quaaludes, turning his passenger into a paraplegic.

Before that, he lived with Nicollette Sheridan when she was 15, in his mom's house.

Phil!

The Seattle-based captain of the "Deadliest Catch" fishing vessel Cornelia Marie has been flown to Anchorage after suffering a stroke while the boat was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska.

According to the vessel's Web site, Capt. Phil Harris was stricken Friday night. Harris was flown to Anchorage and underwent surgery over the weekend. His sons, Josh and Jake, joined him there.

The Discovery Channel cable television reality show depicts the crab fishing industry in the dangerous waters off Alaska.

The Web site reports a family friend, Derek Ray, has flown to St. Paul to take over the role of relief skipper for the rest of the opilio crab season.

Pee Wee Fight Club

The "fight club" scrap at a Queens elementary school was uncovered only after the father of one of the combatants heard his son whining that he didn't have enough fans in his corner.

Tomas Rivera said that he overheard his son complaining to his sparring partner — as the pint-sized pugilists played video games Thursday evening — that he wasn't getting enough applause during their bout at PS 65 in Ozone Park.

"I heard him go, 'Oh, they were cheering you more than they were cheering me,' " the father told The Post.

Rivera then quizzed his son, also named Tomas, and the 10-year-old spilled the beans about the clash, which was allegedly set up by Joseph Gullotta, the kids' fourth-grade teacher.

Rivera said his son initially had a beef with another student when Gullotta told the boy, "Don't fight with him because I like you guys too much."

Instead, the teacher allegedly told his son to take out his aggression on longtime pal Justin Stokel, 9. "Mr. Gullotta told him, 'You are my favorite star student, why don't you start a fight with him instead?' "

During the match, the kids butted heads, leaving Stokel with a split lip and Rivera's kid with a possible concussion.

Like in the flick "Fight Club," Gullotta allegedly told the boys not to spill the beans and supplied them with a phony story to tell the school nurse — that they bashed their heads together accidentally as they both bent over to pick up a fallen pencil.

Still Number One!

R-E-X - Yes! Rex! Rex! Rex!

Torn-o-graphic

Actor Elmore "Rip" Torn has been arrested for breaking into a Salisbury bank and carrying a firearm while intoxicated.

Connecticut state police said the 78-year-old Salisbury resident was arrested Friday night after police found him inside the Litchfield Bancorp with a loaded revolver.

The "Men in Black" actor was taken into custody and booked on numerous criminal charges, including burglary and possession of firearm without a permit.

He was held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled for a Monday appearance in Bantam Superior Court.

Last year, Torn was given probation in a Connecticut drunken driving case and granted permission to enter an alcohol education program. He also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York.

The Kingdom Of Pop

Prince and Paris Jackson, children of perhaps the world's most famous man, stepped into unfamiliar territory at the 52nd Grammy Awards on Sunday night – the spotlight.

Michael Jackson’s eldest children, who he always protected from the public eye, accepted their dad’s posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award, and while their courage brought about a standing ovation, it was clear the two had trouble getting through their speech.

"We are proud to be here to accept this award on behalf of our father, Michael Jackson," 12-year-old Prince said, before getting choked up and stammering. "First of all, we'd like to thank God for watching over us for the past seven months. And our grandmother and grandfather for their love and support. We would also like to thank the fans. Our father loved you so much because you were always there for him. Our father was always concerned about the planet and humanity. Through all his hard work and dedication, he's helped with many charities and donated to all of them.”

Eleven-year-old Paris closed the acceptance with a few more words; however she was clearly overcome by the moment.

"Daddy was supposed to be here, Daddy was gonna perform this year," she said quickly. "He couldn't perform last year. Thank you, we love you, Daddy."
