Here's the Scoop....
Actress Gabrielle Union was stopped by airport security officials on Wednesday because her hairpiece was deemed a flight risk.
The "Bad Boys II" star was making her way through an airport metal detector when her updo caught the eye of Transportation Security Administration agents, who thought Union might have been hiding something in her weave.
Baffled by the incident, the actress took to her Twitter account to recount the experience to fans.
In a series of posts, she wrote, "Ma (my) weave got 'flagged' by the bodyscan at security. TSA required a hair patdown. No lie... If human hair & thread sets off the bodyscanner... a lot of folks jus (sic) ended up on the 'watch list'... its (sic) a weave not terrorism."
Gabrielle later managed to see the funny side of the security stop and laughed it off, joking, "Bout (sic) to take off... hopefully my weave doesn't cause turbulence... its (sic) clearly very powerful."
Now, let's get to the rest of the nooz...

Berry seeks permission to move to France...
Halle Berry has asked the judge overseeing her custody battle for permission to move to France with her daughter Nahla.
The Oscar winner wants to relocate from Los Angeles to her French fiance Olivier Martinez's home country, according to a new court filing.
The website reports her ex-partner Gabriel Aubry, the father of 3-year-old Nahla, opposes the move. A hearing on the matter is currently pending.
Halle sought to ban Aubry from contacting Nahla last month after former nanny Alliance Kamdem accused the male model of shoving her while she was holding the child.
The former couple has been locked in a bitter battle over Nahla since they split.
Halle's move is reportedly prompted by death threats. Robert Hoskins, who has reportedly vowed to "slit her throat," managed to evade security at an undisclosed mental hospital last week and is now on the run.
He previously made a similar threat to Madonna and was shot by the singer's bodyguard in 1995 after he was caught trespassing on the Material Girl's property.
Richard Franco, another man who was accused of stalking the actress last summer, was sentenced to 386 days behind bars and five years probation in January after pleading no contest to stalking. He is also banned from going anywhere near Halle until 2022.
Brown loses bid to end probation early...
Chris Brown lost his bid to end his supervised probation early after a Los Angeles judge ruled the singer must complete more of his community service.
The "Kiss Kiss" hit maker was handed five years probation after pleading guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, while he was also ordered to take a series of domestic violence classes and complete six months of service in the community.
Chris has previously been praised for his good behavior under the order and was keen to have the probation lifted.
Chris' legal team took his case to Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, but Judge George Lomeli ruled Brown should continue to report to a probation officer in his home state of Virginia.
Chris has completed half of his six months of community service, and Lomeli declared the 22-year-old should remain under supervision until he puts in more hours, according to reports.
The judge scheduled another progress hearing for July 10.

Parker's snap decision to accept 'Linda Lovelace' role...
Sarah Jessica Parker made a spur of the moment decision to accept a role in the upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic and "probably would have said no" if she had more time to consider the offer.
Movie chiefs contacted the actress last month about tackling the part of Gloria Steinem in "Lovelace" after Demi Moore pulled out following her hospitalization for exhaustion.
Sarah Jessica was given the script to look through, but film executives needed her answer fast and the actress said yes before she could deliberate the implications of playing the feminist icon.
She tells comments, "I read the script and didn't have enough time to think about it properly. (If I had), I probably would have said no, because it was a daunting experience for lots of obvious and less obvious reasons."
Cage 'couldn't speak' after action scene injury...
Actor Nicolas Cage "couldn't speak" properly for several days after bashing his head when a film stunt went wrong.
The "Face/Off" star has always enjoyed completing his own high-action scenes, but he was left regretting one recently when a co-star got a little heavy-handed.
He comments, "I had two concussions in six months, working stunts on two movies. Thankfully I'm OK but one of them was ridiculous and should never have happened.
"The actor was really in his moment and grabbed my head and smashed it on the marble floor. I couldn't speak right for a couple of days."
Paltrow gifts new mom Beyonce with top stroller...
Gwyneth Paltrow has put herself at the top of Beyonce's godmother list after buying the new mom the king of all baby gifts - a top-of-the-range all-black special-edition Bugaboo Cameleon stroller.
Gwyneth picked out the exclusive and expensive gift before heading off to Los Angeles to support husband Chris Martin at the Grammy Awards this weekend.
The stroller set her back over $1,000.
A source says, "It only makes sense for Beyonce to have this ultra-chic stroller. Baby Blue has the hottest ride!"
Little Blue Ivy was born last month.

This star was forced to halt a stand-up gig in Hollywood on Thursday after suffering a severe headache onstage...
It's Russell Brand...
The star was performing a low-key show at the ComedySportz Theatre when he started to feel sick halfway through.
After requesting some painkillers, Brand powered through and overcame nausea to complete the 90-minute set - but he was upset at himself for the disruption.
He told the audience, "I have a terrible pain. I need painkillers. Sorry about this. I feel nauseous now. I feel sick.
"I'm worried this might be the early stages of a migraine. I get this light disruption thing. I think I�m such a professional showman this is beyond ridiculous stopping to take medication.
