In a bizarre story, the actor Rip Torn has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Connecticut bank, armed with a loaded gun.

According to authorities, Torn forced entry into a Litchfield Bancorp building and set off an alarm. When police arrived, they found him “with a loaded revolver” and “highly intoxicated.”

He was taken into custody and is being held on $100,000 cash bond.

Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass, and third-degree criminal mischief.

The actor, who co-starred on “30 Rock” and HBO’s “The Larry Sanders Show,” as well as appeared in films such as “Men in Black,” has faced several drunken driving charges in recent years.

UPDATE: Rip Torn has arrived at a Connecticut court in handcuffs.

He will be arraigned on burglary and firearm charges.

Kristen Bell became engaged to Dax Shepard over the holidays. Check out her engagement ring!

The 52nd Grammy Awards belonged to Beyoncé as the singer smashed the record for most trophies by a female artist in a single night.

The 28-year-old picked up a record six prizes Sunday, owning a ceremony in which a group of young artists helped put a fresh face on the greying Grammys.

“Wow, thank you so much,” Beyoncé said as she took the stage to claim her award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

“I’m sorry, I’m nervous. I’d love to thank my family for all their support, including my husband, I love you. And I’d like to thank all of my fans for all of their support over the years, goodnight, thank you.”

Female artists dominated the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift leading the charge at last night’s ceremony at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. The I Am … Sasha Fierce singer tallied the most awards, scooping up six trophies — the most ever for a female artist on a single Grammy night — most notably Song of the Year and Best R&B Song for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Halo.” Swift took home the show’s biggest honor, however, nabbing Album of the Year for 2009’s best-selling LP, Fearless. At 20, Swift is now the youngest musician to win Album of the Year; she won four awards overall, including Best Country Album (also Fearless), Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance (both “White Horse”).

Kristen Bell is engaged to Dax Shepard, her rep confirms to UsMagazine.com exclusively.

Shepard, 35, proposed over the holidays, a source tells Us.

Bell, 29, debuted her ring on the red carpet of the Grammys Sunday night.

The couple first stepped out publicly in January 2008.

Bell detailed her perfect date night with Shepard in the November issue of Women’s Health.

“There is almost nothing, barring a natural disaster, that I would let eat into my time at home, playing Scrabble with Dax or talking to my girlfriends,” she said.

She joked that they were competitive while filming romantic comedy When in Rome, currently in theaters.

“We were trying to one-up each other,” she said. “That’s what we do at home, too. It’s like, ‘Wait – watch me do this funny bit.’ ‘No, watch me do this funny bit!.”

The secret to their relationship?

“I’ve learned the necessity for healthy communication. How important it is to talk about your deepest, darkest fears and feelings,” she says. “Your partner should hear your most embarrassing insecurities, because once you say them out loud, you’ve created a safe zone.”

And “a snuggle party can fix anything — it’s true,” she added.
