Mar 10 2006Scott Stapp vows to stay out of tabloids
Mostly shirtless and rarely sexy, Scott Stapp has vowed to get his life back in order after learning prosecutors won't charge him for public drunkenness, following an incident last month in Los Angeles International airport.
"No charges have been filed by the L.A. district attorney's office, and for that I am appreciative," Stapp said in a statement. "I have said it before, but we all make mistakes, and the day will come soon enough where you no longer read of mine in the tabloids."
Part of me is pulling for the guy, if only to save us from having to watch Stapp call himself "king" as he receives video-taped fellatio again. The other part of me, the car-accident and train-wreck loving part of me, wants the former devout Christian to continue his freefall into hell, giving David Cross and Howard Stern more material to use in the process.

In that photo, you can just imagine him living in Fresno and making meth in his bathroom apartment and telling his girlfriend she better bring back ALL the money she makes tonight.

I'm lost.

Who is this guy, why should I care, and why is he not dead
7. hafaball - March 10, 2006 2:47 PM
He's a sad clown :(
8. gilmore_gargoyles - March 10, 2006 2:51 PM
I think he should vow to stay out of the sun instead.
9. Xanthia - March 10, 2006 3:23 PM
Bet he called the National Enquirer and all the other supermarket rags to make that statement... this guy must have the IQ of potting soil.
10. MystressJade - March 10, 2006 3:29 PM
He really must be missing Kid...

Jesus would not be pleased.

Too funny, Jayne. The final ten minutes of his E! True Hollywood Story are going to be tragic...

Who is a bigger loser? K-Fed or Scott Stapp.
14. Grphdesi23 - March 10, 2006 4:31 PM
Who said they would even bother to make an E! True Hollywood story about him?

This idiot has been OUT of the papers for years, he probably staged the whole thing because his solo CD was tanking.
17. mamacita - March 10, 2006 5:18 PM
Hmm, so he vows to stay out of the tabloids, does he? Well, then we should totally all believe him. Listen to my vow. I vow to stop blinking.
18. Praz - March 10, 2006 6:03 PM
Poor Scott, I guess your dad was right about you!
19. CheekyChops - March 10, 2006 6:05 PM
His face looks like a staph (sic) infection.

Imagine a frat boy, if you will. One of them corn-fed boys from Iowa. The sunburn, the newly acquired shoulder length hair, some cheap necklace purchased from a mall kiosk.
Now try NOT to imagine that picture of Scott Stapp. No, seriously, just try.
21. boredatwurk - March 10, 2006 6:51 PM
Ever notice that he repeatedly uses the "honk your horn" arm motion while singing his songs? Kind of like I used to do to truck drivers to get them to honk their horns, only a a little more dramatic and to the front. He needs a new signature move.
22. jida - March 10, 2006 7:36 PM
he looks worried
23. Miss Skyline - March 10, 2006 8:10 PM
I'm more tired of hearing about Stapp now than I was when he was with Creed.
24. Dee - March 10, 2006 8:19 PM
creepy pic
25. QOTD - March 10, 2006 9:24 PM
It's a real shame man, cuz he does have a nice voice. I really liked him, until he turned into such a looser. Ewww he's looks a serial killer in that picture!
26. QOTD - March 10, 2006 9:27 PM
If you think that picture is bad. Check these gross one's out. Look @ the hairy hands & chest. Disgusting!

Holy crap, he looks like Kellie Martin http://members.tripod.com/~Constance_2/kellie.html
I'm not sure who to feel bad for.
28. slinkhard - March 11, 2006 6:27 AM
The Superficial's last few posts have been less funny. New editor doing this shift?
29. CheekyChops - March 11, 2006 10:44 AM
Yikes, dude looks like he has some sort of makeup foundation on his face. He's a tool.
30. BoardBetty - March 11, 2006 1:35 PM
I couldn't stand this guy when he was the lead singer of Creed. He was so self righteously christian.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Oh well, his god will forgive him.
31. poopstick - March 11, 2006 7:52 PM
Poop believes that Stapp-O might be next in line to claim the title of "Professional Asshole", that has been previously held by Steve-O for many years. Remember Scottie...Satan still loves you if Jesus doesn't.
32. Lord Absu - March 11, 2006 8:58 PM
I'd love to see this twat get the full-on, sadistic brunt of the Mel Gibson Jesus Treatment...
33. Mr. Fritz - March 12, 2006 3:21 AM
#16, exactly! He is a douchebag. I never liked Creed or Kid Rock. I remember when everybody liked them and People Magazine had Kick Rock as one of their 50 Most Beautiful People. Were they friggin blind? I only remember this because my girlfriend at the time liked him and thought he had a "bad ass" appeal. Thank god time has passed since that horrible time in music.

He WILL burn in hell, because when God wants to be praised, He listens to Aretha not metal lite.
35. gogoboots - March 12, 2006 3:57 PM
Scott Stapp is stupid whitetrash...please, let's move on already...his band was called Creed ok, that's bad enough...
36. aimatcha - March 13, 2006 10:52 AM
How about making a vow to find a decent barber.
