FLAVOR FLAV: Rapper and TV personality Flavor Flav was arrested in Las Vegas early Wednesday for alleged assault with a deadly weapon, officials said.

Flav's fiancee called 911 after he got in a heated argument with her and an unidentified teenager in their home, TMZ reported.

The hip-hop artist whose real name is William Drayton Jr. was booked for felony assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor domestic violence after the alleged incident.

He is accused of threatening one person with a knife and battering the other, TMZ said.

Flav, 53, is a former member of the rap group Public Enemy. He is also known for appearing on the reality TV series, "The Surreal Life," "Strange Love," "Flavor of Love" and "Wife Swap."

'DOWNTON ABBEY:' Greek television executives have cut a kiss between two men from an episode of the British drama series "Downton Abbey," the BBC said.

The embrace between a visiting duke and the estate's footman appeared in the installment that aired on NET Monday.

"The love affair between the two men ... was not censored," said Costas Spyropoulos, managing director of the Hellenic Broadcasting Corp. "The kiss was not shown because of the time the program was broadcast and the corresponding parental guidance warnings."

The BBC said viewers complained on social networking websites about the cut, which the liberal Syriza party described as "an extreme act of homophobia and discrimination which ... we cannot characterize as unprecedented."

The entire episode was broadcast Tuesday night at a later time.
