"...the singer/songwriter wound up with the wrong kind of attention early Sunday morning in Las Vegas when he was arrested on suspicion of narcotics possession.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the 23-year-old singer (born Peter Gene Hernandez), who is preparing to drop his full-length solo debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, next month, was arrested at 2:40 a.m. on Sunday, after security at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino confronted him in a bathroom and allegedly found him to be in possession of narcotics.

At press time a spokesperson for the Las Vegas Police Department could not be reached for confirmation of the arrest or for information on what drugs Mars is said to have possessed at the time of his arrest."

WHY, BRUNO MARS? WHYYYY?! I had a secret crush on you when I first saw you in B.O.B's "Nothin' On You" music video, then I proclaimed my love and support for you when "Just The Way You Are" came out... and then seeing you live at The Grove on Friday just confirmed why I was so smitten over you, and now you give me this?!? And you look like THAT in your mug shot? Come on now. Why couldn't you have done this AFTER you debut album came out?

Ugghhh, aside from your stupidity, I still think you're one talented mofo and I'll still support you. But you have two more chances. If you strike out two more times, then you're just a lost cause...

And a tip for you, if you're gonna do drugs, at least be more careful about it and don't do it in a public restroom.

(**Disclaimer: I am in NO WAY supporting his drug use. I don't do drugs. Never tried and I have no interest in them. If you do, then by all means, that's your life. I have no say in it unless you bring me into it... Now as you were.)

"LVMPD officials state a bathroom attendant at the Hard Rock Hotel informed security "there was a man in the bathroom stall with possibly a man using drugs."

According to the report, the attendant went on to say he could "see a male in a striped red shirt with a baggy of white powder substance."

Once law enforcement officers made their move -- cops say they asked Bruno to "give over whatever narcotics he had." According to the report, Bruno then "pulled out a white powder substance, which was consistent with cocaine, from his left-front jeans pocket."

Cops say Bruno --aka Peter Hernandez-- "admitted he did a foolish thing and has never used drugs before."

The report shows ... once the substance "came back positive for cocaine," Bruno was shipped off to the Clark County Detention Center and booked for possession of narcotics."

I still ♥ you, Mr. Hernandez, but saying that's your first time using drugs?? I call BS.
