Ashley Greene Nearly Arrested in Middle East

The latest celebrity news and gossip is that Ashley Greene and boyfriend Joe Jonas almost got arrested at the airport in Abu Dhabi recently. The pair were halted by security guards because Jonas had accidentally placed a set of cheese knives in his carry-on bag. They actually made it through one security screening, but at the second one, the security officials stopped them.

The security guards didn’t have to employ any weapons besides “really stern faces,” according to Greene. Perhaps more significantly for celebrity news fans is that Greene, 23, for the first time confirmed that she and Joe are a couple, saying, “I was there for pleasure - my boyfriend was on tour and I had some time off so I went out to support him. He's really sweet.”
