James Hetfield a terrorist? nah...LOL

UK Yahoo is reporting that James Hetfield had a hard time entering the UK to play at Wembley Stadium for Live Earth and questioned by airport officials.

The star was barred entry to Luton airport on Thursday and questioned by staff who were concerned about his appearance. Fears that Hetfield might be involved in terrorism were apparently founded on his "Taliban-like beard", according to The Times. He was allowed to leave the airport after a brief interrogation, when he persuaded officials that he was a rock star.

Poor James.
He's not a terrorist, he's a fucking rock star!
Maybe he should shave the beard though.
It's not really "him" anyway.
I liked his chops much better.

*UPDATE*
London's The Times had originally posted the news story, but now a rep for Hetfield says it's untrue.

Usmagazine.com reports that the rep said, "It's false. It's not true." We should have smelled this one from a mile away.
