^{He always stands like this when he’s proud of his jacket.}

So eery when life imitates art. After being forced to turn in his badge and gun in countless films, Steven Seagal has been ordered to do the same in reality TV life. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Station has halted production indefiitely of the A&E series "Steven Seagal: Lawman."

Seagal became the center of controversy earlier this week when a former executive assistant (hired via Craigslist) accused the perspirant actor of treating her like a "sex toy" for the brief time she was in his employ. She also alleged "Mr. Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian ‘Attendants’ on staff who were available for his sexual need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

No one knows for sure how Seagal will react to this. But now that he’s working outside of the justice system, it’s likely that he’ll team up with DMX to target and bring down the gang of murderous Rastafarians whose oil-drilling has been killing the Alaskan wilderness, with his unique brand of justice. Deadly justice. (TMZ)
