CREED, THE BOOK: As if Mel Gibson wasn't already in enough shit, what with the stinking waft of anti-semitism that's got stuck to his movie The Passion, telling a newspaper his wife will, you know, burn in hell for all eternity, the mystery of the bouncing on and off endorsement from the Pope (we'd heard the pontiff had been really thrilled by the idea of the film until he realised he'd got Mels Gibson and Brooks muddled up)> Now Scott Stapp from Creed is trying to get some of his music on the soundtrack. Is Stapp bothered by the controv attached to the flick? Of course not, he's... well, probably a bit thick:

"It's a controversial film, but you've got to look at it like any other book, like the 'Lord of the Rings,' " Stapp said. "It was made after three books, right? 'The Passion' is just another interpretation of a book."

Yes, he really said that. He also seems to think the plot is going to come as surprise to us:

"It has moments that make you want to cry," he added. "But, having the spiritual background I came from, the very last shot of the movie empowered me. And that's all I can tease you with."

Yeah, don't give away the ending for anyone who's not read The Bible, you dork.
