Briefly: Incubus, The Cure, Britney Spears, Big Day Out

Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd reportedly was arrested after baggage screeners found a switchblade in his bag when he attempted to pass through security Wednesday (10/6) at New York's LaGuardia Airport.

Boyd--who reportedly admitted that he accidentally left the knife in the bag--was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, but was allowed to fly to North Carolina for a concert.

Pop star Britney Spears --who exchanged wedding vows with dancer Kevin Federline during a September ceremony in Los Angeles--has made the marriage legal.

"All the proper paperwork was dealt with today, filed, done," Spears' publicist told Reuters. "It's all legal."

People magazine published photos from the wedding, but an US Weekly story--citing the lack of a wedding license--alleged that the ceremony was fake.
