Recording a solo album in Nashville? I thought they were recorded last year. Is he doing another?

A rep for Salahi tells TMZ that Michaele, Neal and the bodyguard were detained by TSA and Port Authority Police after a gun was found in a bag that was labeled as belonging to Michaele.

We're told he bodyguard explained to police the bag was his and that it was mislabeled at check-in, but that he had a concealed weapon permit.

Some are saying this was a publicity stunt, that no one would be stupid enough to carry a gun into the airport like that. Who knows with these two? WTH do they really need a bodyguard packing heat for anyway? :roll:

They just can't help themselves and stay out of the spotlight.

And for more delicious video of Neal and Michaele (MichNeal), here they are arriving, partying after, then being interviewed at New York fashion week. Note how at the end of the video the reporter asks Neal their names (Michaele has already walked off). Neal states his full name and that he is the guitarist for Journey. Then he said that is Michaele Salahi, but we're going to start calling her "Michaele S" from here on out. *barf*

There's a guy I work with that carried one in his bag coming to work one day. He's also a limousine driver, has a right to carry permit, and just forgot it was in his bag. He was taken out of service at his job because they took his ramp badge, and he didn't get back to work for several months. He had to go through hell and jump through hoops for a couple of years over that incident.

Since when has Neal needed a bodyguard to travel with him from California to Tennessee? LOL. Now that he is with an E Lister he thinks they need one? She isn't even a D Lister because she can't even get on a crappy reality show.

Neal really needs to get back on the road. Down time gets him in trouble.

Dammit... I was wondering who the bodyguard was, and Richie is a really cool guy. He's also the one who would search the audience to pick the kids to give the guitars away to each night last tour, and told me that was his favorite part of the shows. The airport mishap couldn't have been anything but a mistake.

So he was so distracted or whatever, that when they checked in the bag containing his gun he let them label the bag as Michaele's? You would think that would be the one bag of his own that he would definitely keep an eye on.

Well it was from New York to Tennessee, but regardless, really no need for a body guard. The guy was probably just with them to carry Michaele's baggage (and there is a lot of it

).

As far as being an E lister, really is Michaele on the list at all? I mentioned in the other thread that on Geraldo last night, she did say they had several offers for reality shows and other projects and were currently looking at them. Neal's gonna come full circle and end up having a reality show that is only shown on youtube. :lol:

All I'm saying is that anyone with a CC permit knows by now there are legit procedures for checking in a gun at the airport - should have been no big deal, and even an unintentional mistake could easily get his permit yanked. I don't know why he'd risk that consciously. Richie's a good guy - sorry this happened to him.

I'm not sure it was Richie's, but he just took the heat for them/her.
