Yesterday, we covered a story about Seal’s ex-girlfriend, Tatjana Patitz, who claims that he indeed has a violent temper, and she’s glad that Heidi Klum has separated from Seal for the sake of the children. Who really knows about the true nature of Tatjana’s motives for speaking out on the matter, but her words do lend credence to previous reports that Heidi and Seal’s split had a lot to do with Seal’s alleged emotional volatility. As stated previously, I believe that Seal does have an anger management problem that he keeps under wraps in favor of the very passive, eloquent demeanor he recently displayed during the “Ellen” appearance. This belief is based upon my own observations of abusive relationships and not upon any sort of generalization.

Now the tabloids are now painting an even more frightening picture of Seal’s behavior towards Heidi and women in general. Yesterday, I was hoping that Seal’s alleged temper merely meant that he was a screamer or puncher of walls if anything, but Star puts forth an account of Seal’s anger escalating during a mid-January fight, wherein he pushed Heidi with such force that her security guard had to break things up and “physically restrain Seal.” Scary, right? Star also talked to an insider on Seal’s recent tour who says that he generally treats women with disrespect. This is getting pretty ugly:

“We will be connected [for] the rest of our lives … through this tremendous admiration, respect and love that we have for each other,” Seal said of his estranged wife, Heidi Klum, on the Jan. 24 episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” But the “Project Runway” host may not share that sentiment — as Star can exclusively reveal that Seal pushed her in a blowout fight just before their split!

According to a family insider, the couple, who wed in May 2005, got into a full-blown screaming match at their L.A. home in mid-January. “Heidi told friends that Seal just lost it,” the insider tells Star. “He was screaming — and, she said, he pushed her. It was horrible.”

The encounter escalated to the point that Heidi’s security guard had to intervene, a source tells Star. “He had to physically restrain Seal,” the source says.

And Seal’s bad behavior toward women extends far beyond Heidi, 38. While on tour with the “Kiss From A Rose” singer, a female employee claimed a number of men on Seal’s crew subjected her to sexual advancement and verbal harassment — calling her a “hooker” and accusing her of “screwing” her boss. When the situation was brought to Seal’s attention, he dismissed it “as a harmless joke,” a source tells Star. Then “after a campaign by the male crew members to get her faired, she was sacked.”

It all may be a sign of who Seal, 48, truly is. “How can a man with a wife and daughter just let this happen?” says the source. “He just doesn’t seem to care.”

There’s also a story in this week’s issue of In Touch that fills in more about the Tatjana tale that we covered yesterday but also quotes an insider that believes Seal is “acting like he’s still in love with Heidi” as “an important marketing tool,” which is probably true to an extent. Still, I think that Seal is being outwardly charming to try and woo Heidi back, and he’s probably not nearly as passively loving behind closed doors. In Touch also includes another statement from Tatjana that Seal was very kind in the early months of their dating relationship because, “In the courtship, it’s different.”

Well, it’s always different at the beginning of every relationship, right? But if you’re dating a person with anger problems, such changes can be much more jarring than simple matters like, say, simply being less thoughtful as a relationship wears on. Like I’ve already said, hopefully this is all a bunch of crap. But if it isn’t, Heidi did the smart, strong thing of getting out of the relationship.

Anyone remember Tatjana Patitz? She’s a German model who was pretty big in fashion circles in the 1990s — Patitz appeared on that infamous Vogue cover (alongside Naomi, Linda, Christy, and Cindy) and was one of several supermodels featured in George Michael’s “Freedom” video. Just watching that video takes me back. Anyway, Tatjana happened to date Seal for about a year in 1997, and she has taken it upon herself to speak out about the alleged violent temper that has already been the subject of speculation. Tatjana confirms that, in her experience, Seal does indeed have “anger issues,” and she believes that Heidi is doing the right thing by leaving the relationship. The first instinct here is to say, “Poor Seal,” because it must really suck having a famous ex-girlfriend claming such things about you, but this is worth a read:

She fell for him because of his amazing talent and charming personality. But Seal’s former girlfriend Tatjana Patitz has broken her silence to reveal she split from the singer because of his temper tantrums.

And she has warned his estranged German supermodel wife Heidi Klum not to consider a reconciliation with the Kiss From A Rose singer for the sake of their children.

According to In Touch magazine she described the 48-year-old English crooner as a selfish and immature man who cannot control his volcanic personality. The model, who is also German, said: “He is not a nice person. He has anger issues. He is definitely not someone who I think of fondly now.”

Her claims come hot on the heels of previous reports that Klum, 38, demanded a divorce because she was worried about the effect Seal’s “inability to control his temper” was having on their children.

It has also been alleged that the Project Runway star had grown tired of his love of “hard partying.” But while there are no suggestions the Londoner was unfaithful to Heidi, Tatjana believes the hunk cheated during their relationship, which lasted almost a year in 1997. While it is not clear if her belief is true, Seal has himself admitted that he had been unfaithful in many of his previous relationships.

Tatjana is pleased Heidi has decided against talking about her husband in public to protect their three children together. Seal also adopted her first daughter Leni, who was fathered by Formula One tycoon Flavio Briatore. Tatjana believes a divorce would be the best option, “because there are children involved.”

Heidi and Seal announced their divorce on January 23 following a slew of rumours about the state of their relationship. It was a shock because the perception was they had one of the strongest marriages in showbusiness.

The “Crazy” singer has been mounting a charm offensive which many believe is an attempt to win back his wife. He sang the song “Let’s Stay Together” on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and also wore his ring. Seal told the comedienne: “Yes, I’m still wearing my ring. It’s a token of how I feel about this woman.” He also told chat show king Piers Morgan his love for Heidi, “had not waned one iota.”

Sigh…. the subject of tempers and the role they play in domestic situations is such a tricky topic. While there have been absolutely no reports of Seal getting physical as a result of his alleged violent outbursts, the implication is definitely there. I’m not saying that he hit Heidi or anything — perhaps it’s more of a question of punching walls or the like. In my own experience (and I swear that this is not a generalization) that is based upon people that I have observed, it is entirely possible for a person to be incredibly charming (see Seal’s eloquent “Ellen” appearance) and seem very gentle and passive for all outward purposes. Then when the doors close, that personality can change in a very drastic manner. While it’s really easy to feel sorry for Seal (seriously, he seems so bloody nice) because his ex-girlfriend is speaking out about his temper, let’s just remember that she knows the guy. And hopefully, she’s not just making sh-it up for money. Not that I’d be pleased to learn that Seal really is a violent ass, but you catch my drift.

Here are some photos of Tatiana from 2010. She’s aging well but looks botoxed to the hilt.

In our last article on Gabriel Aubry, we mentioned that an emergency hearing requested by Halle Berry for a “no contact” order between Aubry and their nearly four year-old daughter, Nahla, was denied. Aubry currently has supervised visits with Nahla, and it’s expected that those will continue for the time being. To recap: Aubry has been accused by a nanny of verbal abuse, of pushing her on two occasions, once with Nahla in her arms, and of grabbing Nahla from her. A bid by the nanny to get a restraining order against Aubry was also denied. (Radar has the PDF of the ruling denying the restraining order, and the boxes are checked for “does not show reasonable proof,” “fails to show that he or she will suffer great or irreparable harm,” and “fails to show threat of future harm.” It’s written below that in long hand that the petition is “Insufficient and speculative. If there are concerns they should be resolved in family court.”)

Aubry is currently being investigated for misdemeanor battery and child endangerment in conjunction with an altercation with the nanny on January 18. As part of that investigation, child and family services has interviewed both Berry and Aubry separately, as is reportedly standard in cases like this. Radar has the details of the interview with Aubry, and after getting the semi-official excuse from Aubry camp’s that “the nanny tripped” and wasn’t pushed, they’re also getting his very deep thoughts on having to speak to authorities. Poor pretty Gabe feels like “he is living in a police state.”

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services has formally interviewed Halle Berry’s baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry, in connection with allegations that he pushed a nanny while she was holding the former couple’s three year old daughter, Nahla, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Aubry’s interview with social workers was thorough and exhaustive. “These are very serious allegations and Gabriel was obviously very nervous,” a source close to Aubrey tells RadarOnline.com. “Gabriel feels that he is living in a police state as far as his time with his daughter is concerned.

“He is a doting and loving father and extremely attentive to Nahla. His daughter wasn’t present when the interview took place. The investigation will remain open at this point, but it’s not uncommon at all for officials to keep an investigation open out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of the child.”

[From Radar]

As many of you mentioned in our last story, saying that a person “tripped” or fell is a classic abuser tactic. I’m not saying that Gabe is a nasty monster, or even that all these allegations ring true to me, but he’s not helping his case at all by leaking these ridiculous explanations and defensive quotes to the tabloids. It really does seem that he’s a devoted dad and that he loves Nahla, but if he has anger management issues he needs to have supervised visitation. It’s still hard to know which side to believe given Halle’s obvious tactics in the past to both smear Gabriel and to make sure she pushes him out of their daughter’s life. The truth is probably somewhere in between.

Yesterday we heard that Halle Berry’s ex, Gabriel Aubry, was being investigated for misdemeanor battery and child endangerment after an altercation with a nanny who works for both Halle and Gabriel. Apparently the nanny confronted Aubry over not bringing his nearly four year-old daughter, Nahla, to school. The argument then got heated, with the nanny telling police that Gabriel verbally abused her and then pushed her while she was holding Nahla. The nanny claims she almost fell and that she was slammed against the wall.

Opinions on this story were very polarized. Some people thought the nanny was on team Halle and was trying to malign Gabriel, which is supported by the nanny’s claims that Gabriel often called her a “spy” when she was at his house. Maybe she does have allegiances to Halle, but even if that’s the case it doesn’t rule out Aubry being abusive. Also, the nanny told the police the minor and unnecessary detail that Nahla had a rash that Gabriel refused to treat. Why would she tell them that unless she was throwing accusations out there trying to see what would stick? Plus, the nanny lost a restraining order bid she had against Gabriel. In the restraining order, she admits opening his apartment door with a key she had on January 18 just prior to the altercation and she makes no mention of knocking. On the other hand, we’ve heard for some time that Aubry has an explosive temper, and why would the nanny bother to take out a restraining order unless she was afraid of him? It’s not too farfetched to imagine him going off on an employee who overstepped her bounds and then pushing her out the door.

Well a new article in Radar has a “source” close to Gabriel who claims that he didn’t push the nanny and that she “tripped.”

However, Aubry is telling a very different version of events.

“Why in the world would Gabriel push the nanny causing her to fall while she was holding his daughter?” a source close to the situation asks. “Gabriel is fiercely protective of Nahla. The nanny tripped, and she fell while holding Nahla. Yes, Gabriel and the nanny were arguing, he felt like his parenting skills were under attack again. Gabriel can’t believe how out of control this situation has become. He is hopeful that criminal charges won’t be filed against him.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the nanny says that last Wednesday she went to pick Nahla up at school and she wasn’t there, so she went to Gabriel’s home.

“Gabriel and the nanny got into an argument because no one alerted her that Nahla didn’t go to school,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

The source went on to claim that Aubry allegedly verbally abused the nanny, before things took a turn for the physical.

“She picked up Nahla to leave and Gabriel yelled at her and shoved her out the door so hard that she hit the wall — while she had Nahla in her arms!” the source alleges, adding that the nanny claims the abuse is ongoing. The nanny filed a police report and Aubrey is now being investigated for misdemeanor battery and child endangerment.

[From Radar]

When someone issues a denial that starts with a question, it’s suspect to me. “Why would I do that?” is not the same as categorically saying “I didn’t do that,” although the source later claims that the nanny “tripped.”

Yesterday there was a court hearing in which Halle asked for an emergency “no contact” order for Gabriel and their daughter until the investigation into this incident was completed. TMZ reports that the judge left the custody arrangement “as is” and put off a ruling until the judge who has been handling this case returns from vacation. Radar has more information that “The Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services is expected to interview Berry, Aubry, and the nanny in the next several days.”

Let’s pretend that none of these people are famous and that we only know their situation and nothing else about them. You have a couple who went through an acrimonious divorce and who both love their daughter. The mother doesn’t want the father to have contact with his daughter at all and has actively worked to limit their contact. A nanny who works for the mother claims that the father yells a lot, is verbally abusive towards her and pushed her twice out the door, once with his daughter in her hands. Barring our feelings on whether the guy is abusive, and whether this is emotionally damaging to his child, is it enough to deny him all contact with his daughter? It’s a hard accusation to prove, so probably not. I could see supervised visitation continuing indefinitely, though.

When Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry split, a lot of accusations were made both through the press and in court that Aubry was verbally abusive, that he screamed racial epithets at Halle, and that he may have been neglecting their daughter Nahla, now nearly four. There were only vague allegations of neglect in the press and the worst thing I think I read about Aubry was that he called Halle the N word and threw a chair against a wall. A lot of people questioned whether Halle was publicly maligning Aubry in order to make herself out to be the victim and bolster her custody case. Well a new story suggests that Aubry might have an explosive temper after all. A nanny has accused him of pushing her out the door and screaming at her – when she had Nahla in her arms.

Halle Berry’s baby daddy Gabriel Aubry is being investigated for criminal child endangerment and battery — over an incident involving his and Halle’s child … TMZ has learned.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Gabriel allegedly pushed his nanny into a door while she held his daughter Nahla in her arms.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Gabriel was supposed to take 3-year-old Nahla to school Wednesday but decided to keep her home instead. The nanny — who worked for both Gabriel and Halle — went to the school to pick Nahla up and was told the child was a no-show.

According to the report, the nanny then went to Gabriel’s home, where she found Nahla. The nanny picked Nahla up and began to question Gabriel as to why he didn’t take the child to school.

According to the report, that’s when Gabriel allegedly flew into a rage — claiming, “You’re the f**king nanny. Who do you think you are? You are a nobody. You don’t need to f**king know anything.” The 6-foot-4 Gabriel then allegedly pushed the 5-foot-2 nanny out the door, Nahla in her arms.

The nanny filed a police report, claiming she was injured. Law enforcement sources tell us … police are investigating Gabriel for both misdemeanor child endangerment and misdemeanor battery.

The report lists the investigation as a battery, but law enforcement sources tell us they are “definitely investigating child endangerment.”

[From TMZ]

I read the police report (the PDF is here) and the blowup was over the nanny picking up Nahla, so that means that it’s Halle’s nanny too and there may be some history there. The accusations in the police report don’t sound as sordid as TMZ makes them out to be in their writeup (above) but that could just be due to the neutral way that police reports are written. They write “The susp(ect) [Aubry] then pushed the vict(im), who was still holding Nala [sic] in her arms and the vict fell against the wall, that was next to the susp[(ect's) front door. The vict stated that if the door was not there she would of [sic] fell to the ground with Nala in her arms.” I hope it wasn’t as bad as it sounds and that Nahla wasn’t traumatized by seeing her dad blow up at her nanny like that.

TMZ has a follow-up story that Halle is seeking a no contact ruling in court so that Aubry can’t see his daughter at all until the investigation for child endangerment associated with this case is complete. The nanny allegedly told police that “Gabriel repeatedly yelled and cursed at her, often while Nahla was present,” and that “Gabriel often yelled at Nahla, causing the child to cower and cry.” Then they add that the nanny claimed that “when Nahla had a rash he refused to treat it.” That’s a strange minor detail to add, isn’t it? Whatever is going on, I just feel sorry for Nahla.

Here’s some photos of Rihanna returning to LAX after her relaxing, blunt-filled Hawaiian vacation came to an inevitable end. She looks so happy and carefree in these pictures, right? Well, perhaps she was pleased for another, more nefarious reason. In a natural follow-up to last week’s Us Weekly story that Rihanna hasn’t merely been love tweeting but has also been secretly hooking up with for the past year, TMZ reports that the two ex-lovers were present and accounted for (at the same time) in the same night club last night. It’s hard to believe that Rihanna would truly go back to Chris after he beat the living hell out of her, but the evidence is quickly mounting:

Rihanna and Chris Brown partied at the same club last night, fueling growing rumors they’re back together.

The two singers left Greystone Manor — a West Hollywood club — separately, but they were both definitely there at the same time.

Several people who were at the club last night tweeted that as far as they could see Rihanna and Chris had no contact with each other.

The protective order — requiring that they have no contact with each other after Brown beat Rihanna — was lifted a year ago.

[From TMZ]

Ugh. This story is probably true since TMZ got word from eyewitnesses on the scene, and it’s even more pathetic than Rihanna pretty much leapt off the airplace from Hawaii into such a misguided, almost certainly situation. So after these two left the club “separately,” do you think RiRi and Chris met up for a private afterparty at some undisclosed hotel? Right now, I’ve lost all hope that RiRi is smart enough not to do just that.

Beyond Rihanna’s obvious bad taste in men, one more thing about her return from Hawaii is freaking me out. Look at her hand on the escalator rail. All of those germs!

Ugh, I just don’t know what to think of this story. Yesterday, Kaiser brought us the comparatively blissful news of Rihanna’s blunt-filled Hawaiin vacation, which seems so peaceful that I’m using more of those photos. However, danger may be lurking just around the corner (figuratively) in the form of Chris Brown, who does have a confirmed girlfriend who would ideally prevent his story from being true. However, Kaiser reminded me that Chris was allegedly hooking up with Kelly Rowland while on tour last year, so maybe that establishes a pattern of cheating that would mean he’d have no problems with casual hookups with someone else too . . . such as Rihanna. Of course, RiRi herself has already admitted that she still admires Chris even though he beat her senseless.

Until now, I’ve always maintained that Rihanna would never actually go back to Chris for the simple reason that her handlers won’t let them get close because of publicity reasons. A true reunion would be awful for her career, but does that leave out the possibility of occasional hookups? Us Weekly seems to believe that this has been the case for the past year:

February 8 marks the three-year anniversary of Chris Brown’s infamous assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna.

And it turns out that the exes — forcibly separated after the beating by court order — could very well be spending that “anniversary” together. As multiple sources confirm in the new Us Weekly, Rihanna, 23, and Brown, 22, have secretly been hooking up for nearly a year.

The edgy, platinum-selling “We Found Love” singer and Brown “meet up very casually,” a Brown confidante says. “She comes to see him anytime she’s in L.A.”

Explains a music industry source: “They can’t get enough of each other. I don’t see it ending well.”

“Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that,” adds a Rihanna insider.

The clandestine relationship isn’t just complicated because of the couple’s violent past; the “Forever” crooner also has a girlfriend, aspiring model Karrueche Tran.

“He and Rihanna are just friends,” Brown’s rep tells Us. “He’s not cheating.” Rihanna’s rep had no comment.

[From Us Weekly]

At this point, I am starting to believe that Rihanna isn’t above hooking up with her abusive ex for a thrill, but I hope she truly isn’t that stupid. Maybe she really is lured by the cycle of violence and misinterprets it as “exciting.” Hopefully, this is merely baseless gossip on a slow news day though. While in Hawaii, Rihanna’s been tweeting about her hot chef. She should hook up with him instead.

It’s amazing (that is, sickening) that Chris Brown is still in demand after all of his ongoing and unrepentant, sociopathic behavior. Yet after beating up Rihanna (and she’s still a fan), freaking out and smashing windows, making homophobic comments, and habitually parking in disable spaces, people are still willing to pay him money. Hence his New Year’s eve gig at Pure Nightclub in Las Vegas, where he sucked face with his new model girlfriend, Karrueche Tran at midnight; sang a few hip-hop songs; and acted like his generally “Breezy” self (whatever that means):

Honestly, I don’t understand the “Breezy” nickname. Is it something that he came up with himself, or does it refer to the sound his fists make when they fly through the air? No telling, really. In the meantime, a bit of a Twitter controversy has sprung up for watchers of both Chris and Rihanna’s accounts. These “love” messages were spaced just moments apart and would indicate a possible “secret” affection that is ongoing between the former couple:

It’s been a long road between these two. And we mean long. Also, bumpy.

After the highly publicized 2009 assault, which we all wish we could forget but will always remember, Rihanna and Chris Brown’s tumultuous relationship seems to have struck up again after the former couple each posted tweets about love that appeared to be directed toward the other.

The Twitter mystery (brought to our attention by Nicky Geezy from Power 106) started when Breezy posted, “Love U more than u know!”

Two minutes later, Ri-Ri responded with, “I’ll always love you #1love.”

Coincidence? Maybe, but that’s hard to believe. Rihanna has already defended why she even follows Brown on Twitter and has shared that she’s still a “fan” of his and “excited” for his comeback, which is fine. We get it.

But what’s going on here? Is the duo thinking about rekindling their romance or are these tweets totally unrelated? Was it just a little something to get off their chest or is this their way of making something public? So many questions!

That’s not all.

Earlier this month, Brown’s mother tweeted, “HELLO LADY I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!” And Rihanna tweeted shortly after, “Miss+Love u 2″

[From E! Online]

Yeah, we already know that Chris’ mom (along with Rihanna’s cousins) is gunning for Rihanna to take Chris back, but her handlers know better than to let that happen for the sake of Rihanna’s career. And like I’ve said before, if it takes Rihanna’s management to keep her out of harm’s way, than so be it. Mostly, I think that Chris and Rihanna know that they could never be a couple again, and they’re probably just screwing with all of us by sending these well-timed love notes in a public venue. Otherwise, isn’t this exactly the sort of thing for which direct messaging was invented?

Besides, Chris is otherwise spoken for in a romantic sense. Yes, there are women who are still dumb enough to date this known abuser. Here’s a photo of Chris and Karrueche shopping in Los Angeles on 12/4. She’s a tiny little thing, ain’t she?

Here’s Rihanna (nowhere near Chris) on New Year’s Eve in Miami.

This week’s Star has printed a story about Chris Brown’s mother attempting to woo Rihanna back into dating her son again even after the horrific injuries that Rihanna sustained in 2009 at the hands of her then-boyfriend. At firat, the story seems rather unbelievable but then pales in comparison to Rihanna’s own cousins begging her to take Chris back. Exactly why do both Chris and RiRi’s relatives fail to see what the rest of the world comprehends? That is, an abusive relationship should never be rekindled no matter what. Of course, this story builds upon Star‘s prior theory that Rihanna needs therapy and won’t stop boozing, and the current story maintains that Chris’ mom only wants to help Rihanna, so the only way to do that is by getting back with Chris. Or something like that:

Ever since their tumultuous split in 2009, Rihanna and Chris Brown have had little contact. But it seems the tide is turning. Chris’ mother, Joyce Hawkins, has stepped in the help reconcile the ex-lovers. “Joyce decided to reach out to Rihnna and help her sort out her life — and her relationship with Chris,” explains a source. “Rihana is still trying to blot out the inner emotional pain and turmoil of wanting Chris back.”

The former pair “have connected via text and email,” the source tells Star. Still, “Her management won’t let her meet up with him, because they are worried that he would hurt her again or that her fans would turn on her.”

But Rihanna has been spiraling out of control for months, boozing and bar-hopping. Friends fear it’s a sign of her missing her bad-boy ex — and Chris’ mom is trying to help the 23-year-old get back on track.

“Joyce is worried about her,” says the source. “She knew Rihanna as a sweet, young girl who was more interested in her career than partying all night long. If Rihanna thinks being with Chris will help her pull out of her tailspin, Joyce will make it happen.”

[From In Touch, print edition, January 9, 2012]

You know what? If it takes public image worries to keep Rihanna away from the her abusive ex-boyfriend, then so be it. Perhaps Rihanna may legitimately feel that she’s a puppet of her record company and management, but that’s a small price to pay for not being permitted to fall back into Chris Brown’s arms and being beaten to shreds once again. Yeah, I should be a little more sensitive to the issue perhaps, and sure, I’ll buy that RiRi needs some therapy. What she doesn’t need (by any stretch) is to start dating Chris again.

Incidentally, here’s some photos of Rihanna vacationing in Barbados on 12/29. She looks fantastic.

I usually don’t pay any attention to Glambert, so this is the first time I’m actually looking at Adam Lambert’s boyfriend, Sauli Koskinen. Um, OMG. Look at how TINY he is! Adam Lambert is dating a Hobbit. He literally has a pocket boyfriend. Anyway, it seems like Adam and Sauli had a bit of an incident in Finland, of all places. Adam and Sauli were in a gay bar called Don’t Tell Momma, and Adam started getting violent.

Former American Idol star Adam Lambert was arrested following a fight with his boyfriend outside a Helsinki, Finland bar on Thursday.

Lambert, 29, and boyfriend Sauli Koskinen, 26, got into the altercation outside a gay bar called Don’t Tell Momma, according to Finnish reports. When patrons outside the establishment tried to stop the altercation, Lambert attacked them as well, though no one was injured.

Koskinen, also a TV star, won Finland’s 2007 edition of the reality competition Big Brother.

Lambert, who finished second in 2009′s American Idol competition to Kris Allen, was still in custody at a facility in Pasila, while Sauli was held at a jail in Toolo.

[From Radar]

Ah, so Sauli is a Finn. That’s why they were in Finland. Anyhoodle, The Hollywood Reporter has much more on this violent attack:

American Idol star Adam Lambert spent several hours in a Finnish jail Thursday after being arrested outside a Helsinki gay bar following a brawl with his Finnish boyfriend, local reality star Sauli Koskinen.

According to Petri Juvonen, who is heading up the police investigation into the event, Lambert and Koskinen were arrested at around 4 a.m. Thursday morning outside DTM (Don’t Tell Mama), a famous Helsinki gay club. Both men are being held for questioning as local police investigate a total of four possible assault offenses. Juvonen tells the Hollywood Reporter that the two would likely be released after being interrogated.

According to media reports out of Finland, the dispute between the two men started in one of DTM’s back rooms. Lambert and Koskinen, a winner of the Finnish version of Big Brother, were apparently kicked out of the club but carried on fighting in the street outside.

Finnish beauty queen Sofia Ruusila, an ex-Miss Helsinki, who had been celebrating with Lambert and Koskinen, told a Finnish entertainment channel that she had tried to get between the quarrelling couple when Lambert accidently hit her by mistake.

Lambert arrived in Finland on Monday, Dec. 19 to celebrate Christmas with Koskinen. There had been much internet speculation that Lambert was scheduled to be a guest performer on Thursday’s finale of the X Factor. A show spokesperson denied the booking and clearly, being 5,100 miles and a continent away, a Lambert appearance was not in the cards.

It’s unclear when he’ll return to the U.S. or whether he’ll face charges in Finland.

Lambert’s new single, “Better Than I Know Myself,” was released on Tuesday. The singer last tweeted on Wednesday at around noon Helsinki time boasting that the song was No. 2 on iTunes in the Middle East. He had earlier written in Finnish, “Helsinki is a beautiful city full of beautiful people! Thank you!”

UPDATED: Investigator Juvonen has completed his interrogation and the two were released on Thursday afternoon. Koskinen later blogged about the incident, writing in Finnish (as translated by Google): “Celebrities are people too and fame is not easy. Love is not always easy either, but it’s forever.” Koskinen goes on to say that the “hangover is gone already” and “Paparazzi, police stations have back doors, too, go away already.”

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

It sounds like Adam had too much to drink and he started getting aggressive and pissy and… not good. If this was a heterosexual couple, would we feel differently? Because this seems like something out of the Charlie Sheen playbook. Does Glambert have issues with violence? Is he abusing his (much smaller) boyfriend? Is Adam a violent drunk?
