Gossip singer Beth Ditto has been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. The 32-year-old rocker was taken into custody in the early hours of Saturday morning following a disturbance outside the Bungalo Bar in Portland, Oregon.
Beth - real name Mary Beth Patterson - was detained by officers for being drunk after she left the establishment and threw her shoes in the middle of the road and started shouting out the name of President Barack Obama as her friends tried to put her in a car.
"She walked out in the middle of the street, threw off her shoes and purse and screamed Obama, Obama!" a source at the bar told the Willamette Week newspaper.
The "Standing in the Way of Control" singer was later released from custody and is now awaiting a court date. If she is convicted of second degree disorderly conduct she could be sentenced to up to six months in jail and may receive a fine of up to $2,500.

Beth Ditto Excited About Marriage
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Weddings,
Beth Ditto claims she was ''born'' to be married.
The Gossip singer is set to wed girlfriend Kristin Ogata next year and says she can't wait as she's always felt being part of an official union has been something destined for her.
"I was born to be married. I just feel comfortable. I love the idea of being partnered forever. I love my girlfriend, we've been best friends since I was 18. There's not a thing we haven't been through except for marriage. We've had talks about what we would name our kids since we were in our 20s."
However, 31-year-old Beth jokes there could be some problems in the marriage because they've both had completely different upbringings: "She's from Hawaii and I'm from Arkanas, and I'm like, 'This is going to be the most hilarious cultural matching.'"

Beth Ditto: Lady Gaga is For Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Style,
Gossip singer Beth Ditto thinks Lady Gaga is important to "five year olds." The musician is a fan of the pop superstar but she doesn't think her songs can ever have as much of an impact on her adult fans as they do on children because it's completely new to the younger generation:
"I think her music is for five year olds. Like when I was five, for me it was Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson. Those people were iconic. I'm 31 so that was like 26 years ago. I think that for the five year old watching MTV right now Lady Gaga is going to be an iconic person. In 20 years, the people who are here and talking to journalists will be like, 'Oh Lady Gaga changed my life, Nicki Minaj changed my life.' They'll be saying who influenced them and it will be Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, artists like that. I don't think it's as relevant when a 31-year-old is saying the same things."
Beth believes it is harder for artists, including Gaga, to reach and inspire older music fans because they have been influenced by so many different types of music already.

Beth Ditto Set to Wed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Weddings,
The Gossip singer Beth Ditto is getting married next year. The openly-lesbian rocker is engaged to her partner Kristen and the pair are planning to tie the knot in Hawaii in June 2013.
Beth - who is currently in London promoting the band's new album A Joyful Noise and has been joined by Kristen for the trip - exclusively told BANG Showbiz, "I'm getting married next year to my partner Kristen in June. She might be somewhere here, in the hotel, walking around. I'm doing it in Hawaii because my girlfriend is from there."
However, one potential guest, The Gossip's female manager, wants the couple to say their vows in April because she can't make the June date but Beth won't be swayed. "I'm not getting married in April because it's the raining season there!" the 31 year-old musician said, laughing.
Beth's bandmates Brace Paine and Hannah Blilie are both thrilled for the couple and can't wait for the nuptials. "It's gonna be great," Hannah said.
