Veteran rocker

Celebrity Apprentice

this week - over a missing bag of art supplies.

Meat and greet with Meat Loaf

During Sunday's episode of the show (broadcast in the US) the teams were assigned a task which involved creating their own artworks to sell in a gallery.

All sounds innocuous enough....until Meat Loaf (real name

Michael Lee Aday

) spots that his art supplies are missing, and is seemingly convinced that one of his teammates has given them the sticky-palm treatment.

Pacing the floor, he eventually spits his dummy in the dirt. The problem? He "bought those motherf*****g sponges!"

Now there's a T-shirt slogan if ever there was one.

He then squares up to Busey, who stands before him, slack-jawed, like a dazed bunny in the headlights. "No. I have my receipt," he counters.

The singer then barks at Busey, "You look in my eyes, I am the last person in the f*****g world you ever f*****g want to f**k with!"

Things got so heated he had to be physically restrained by teammate

Mark McGrath

.

When he simmered down, the show delivered the mother of all punch-lines - the art materials were sat in a bag in the corner of the room all along.

Busey is vindicated. Cue grovelling apology from Meat Loaf: "I'm so embarrassed by it, and I'm so upset by it. I truly am very sorry."

Busey replied, "I accept your apology, Meat. Let it go, I forgive you."

Meat Loaf then revealed that he's been a slave to the anger demon in the past. He said: "I've gone to anger management, I've done that."

Probably time for a refresher.

Something to embrace when you're knee high to a grasshopper: Learn to share your colours - art supplies in particular.

Watch the high (melo)drama below:

Once bitten, twice wed?

Amy Winehouse

has been a tad quiet of late. A bit too quiet.

Could it be that she's too distracted by wedding plans to resume her headline-hogging duties? Well that's the rumour doing the rounds today.

Word is Winehouse is all set to trot down the aisle and get hitched to her current fella, British director

Reg Traviss

.

Traviss is quoted as telling

The People

: "Amy and I have been talking about getting married, we are looking to book something very soon.

"I am thinking of getting something sorted in the next six weeks for the end of the year."

He adds: "I love Amy very much, she's a wonderful, talented, lovely girl."

Let's hope he's a keeper.

Traviss also told

The Sun

last week that Winehouse is "throwing herself into work" - yes, her lesser-spotted new album.

"We've been together nearly a year now and we're very happy. Amy's doing well, she's fine. She's healthy and happy," he said.

He added: "She's still writing and recording stuff for her new album. She's really throwing herself into it."

and new wife

Luisana Lopilato

were getting hitched last Friday, their love nest was being burgled. Charming!

TMZ reports

that burglars raided the singer's Buenos Aires pad while the couple were getting wed in Maximo Paz, a resort outside of Buenos Aires.

According to the website, the robbers covered up the security cameras and snipped the telephone lines. No word on what they lifted.

After being told about the burglary, Lopilato told local reporters, "I will not let this ruin the happiest day of my life."
