Actress and June 2005 Playboy cover girl Bai Ling was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday for allegedly shoplifting $16 worth of celebrity magazines and a package of batteries from a terminal convenience store, TMZ.com reports, quoting law enforcement sources.

A shop employee reportedly placed Bai, 37, under citizen's arrest, and Airport Police escorted her to the station, where she was booked for theft.

On her personal blog Wednesday, Bai – who the same year of her Playboy cover also appeared on VH1's But Can They Sing? – mentioned being at the airport but said nothing about any arrest.

"Delayed the flight," says her message, in part, "wondring (sic) again in the airport like a ghost, why can't I just be the sun smile?"
