John Stamos was trying to get some sleep in first class on Monday when another passenger on his flight woke him up. The FBI had to be called to investigate a "verval altercation." E! Online reports:

The woman then persisted in trying to get the actor’s attention after he told her he wanted to sleep. Then, when he got up to use the restroom, she informed him she would wait in his seat until he returned. After Stamos got back to his seat, the woman persisted in trying to chat with him, refusing flight attendants’ urging to go back to her own first-class seat and repeatedly tapping Stamos on the hand.

John did not press charges against the crazy woman. He probably appreciated the fact she even recognized him.

As we reported last week, John Stamos left an indelible mark Down Under, as he slurred his way through some TV interviews, even adding in some lewd gestures.  Us Magazine reports that Uncle Jesse has since blamed jet lag and sleeping pills, not alcohol. Pull our other leg and it plays The Star Spangled Banner.

The ER star says that his odd demeanor was simply “an hour of grogginess” from having taken the prescription sleep aid Ambien, and only getting a few hours of rest. (The drug is only meant to be taken when a person can devote eight hours to sleep.)

“I took Ambien at 5 a.m. and got up at 7 a.m.," he explains. “I was OK and did a few radio interviews. Then I had a break at 10 a.m. I dozed off and couldn’t wake up. Security banged on the door, shook me and woke me up. They threw a jacket on me and put me in front of the camera. I did three or four interviews after that, and no one said a word.”

“It was a weird very out of character hour of my life,” he adds.

What was his family’s reaction to the interviews? “I got screaming calls from my mother and my sister asking, ‘Have you lost your mind? Do we need to fly over there?’”

Stamos tells US he is "very sorry it happened" and is also refuting rumors that he’s headed to rehab. “What?! I barely drink,” he insists. “I have probably had 10 drinks in the last year.”

What’s the over-under on a photo surfacing of him doing a tequila shot out of a porn star’s belly button?

Watch a bit of the lunacy.

According to Page Six, John Stamos won’t be welcome Down Under again any time soon–and, no, that’s not a euphemism. Some local news correspondents speculated that Uncle Jesse might have been "in the cups" during interviews on several TV shows in Australia.

The "ER" star was called "bleary-eyed, staggering and slurring," as well as "tired and emotional," by a Sydney newspaper after appearing on several TV shows in a highly disheveled state. Interviewer Kerri-Ann Kennerley noted, "It was a bit like he’d perhaps come from a hotel minibar." In one memorable moment, Stamos likened himself to Elvis Presley and Princess Diana, quipping: "Who else has died? My career after coming to Australia." He later blamed his weird state on jet lag.

Jet lag? Really? Even Paula Abdul could have come up with a better excuse than that, my friend. How about you put down the dirty martini next time and throw another shrimp on the barbie? Still, I wouldn’t kick him outta bed for eating garlic olives. I’m jussayin’.
