  Paul Gray, the bassist for Grammy-winning metal band Slipknot, was found dead Monday in an Iowa hotel room but there was no indication of foul play, police said.

  A hotel employee found Gray, 38, dead in a room at the TownePlace Suites in Urbandale, a suburb of Des Moines, police said in a statement. An autopsy was planned for Tuesday.

  “Paul Gray was an awesome person on and off stage. He will be missed by many including myself,” Jacoby Shaddix, lead singer of metal band Papa Roach, said in a statement late Monday. “His spirit will live on through the killer music he wrote.”

  Gray had been staying at the hotel for “a couple days,” Urbandale Sgt. Dave Disney said, declining further comment. Gray lived in the nearby suburb of Johnston.

  Amy Sciarretto, a publicist at Slipknot’s record company, Roadrunner Records, confirmed Gray’s death but declined further comment.

  Jesse James claims he wanted to get caught cheating because he could no longer deal with the guilt of deceiving his wife Sandra Bullock.

  In an interview with ABC’s “Nightline,” James said that he knew his cheating was his attempt to self-sabotage his life.

  “When I was doing it, you know, one, I knew it was horrible, it made me feel horrible,” he said. “And two, I knew I would get caught eventually, and I think I wanted to get caught … It was me trying to self-sabotage my life.”

  Lindsay Lohan has to refrain from drinking and doing drugs, wear a monitoring bracelet, submit to weekly random drug tests while, and attend weekly alcohol education classes.

  Actress Lindsay Lohan agreed to refrain from drinking alcohol or taking drugs as part of the conditions of a bail agreement stemming from a DUI arrest in 2007.

  At a court hearing Monday morning, Judge Marsha Revel told Lohan that in order to remain free on bail, she would have to submit to random drug testing once a week, wear a SCRAM monitoring bracelet and complete all alcohol education classes at the rate of once a week.

  When you think of Jerry Springer, the first image you probably get is of a little guy ducking while chairs are being thrown across a stage, then running to safety while burly bodyguards try desperately to rein in his excitable talk show audience.

  But what you may have forgotten is Springer was also the mayor of Cincinnati, and ran for governor of Ohio, so he’s got some serious political chops as well.

  Which is what made PopEater.com’s interview with him so interesting, especially when he started talking about Sarah Palin and liberal politics. Keep Reading…

  Some thought Woolard’s answer to the question, in which she defended Arizona’s right to pass such a law, cost her the crown.

  Both Woolard and Fakih came to Fox News this week to discuss the controversy, and to talk about the Arizona law.

  Which got us thinking…
