“Golden Girl Causes Terrorist Scare in Boston”
Golden Girls star Bea Arthur sparked a security scare at Boston’s Logan International Airport earlier this week when she tried to board a flight with a pocketknife in her handbag.
The actress, 81, was about to board a Cape Air flight when a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent discovered the offensive article in her belongings, which is strictly forbidden on airplanes since the September 11th attacks. A fellow passenger says, “She started yelling that it wasn’t hers and said ‘The terrorists put it there’. She kept yelling about the ‘terrorists, the terrorists, the terrorists’.”
After the knife was confiscated by TSA officials, the funnywoman pulled out a key ring from her bag and told the agent it belonged to the “terrorists”, before throwing it at them. As she boarded the plane, the Emmy-winning star told the TSA employees, “We’re all doomed.” A spokeswoman for Cape Air says, “Miss Arthur was cracking jokes and was a real character.”

Yeoh and Li Go “Geisha”
Asian movie stars Michelle Yeoh and Gong Li have signed to appear alongside Zhang Ziyi in Steven Spielberg’s eagerly-anticipated film adaptation of Arthur Golden’s book Memoirs Of A Geisha. Malaysian star Yeoh, 41 and Chinese actresses Gong, 38, and Ziyi, 25, will be directed by Chicago film maker Rob Marshall in the drama, which starts filming in Japan in September.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon beauty Ziyi is set to play lead role Sayuri - a young woman who is sold by her poverty-stricken parents to a geisha house in Kyoto. Executive producer Spielberg bought the film rights to the 1997 bestseller many years ago and has been searching for the perfect actresses.
Superstar Madonna’s geisha look in her 1998 video ‚Äö?Ѭ¢???Nothing Really Matters‚Äö?Ѭ¢??? was inspired by Golden’s story and the singer always said she would love to star in the movie.
