Panic! At The Disco were playing a show in Pompano, Florida, over the weekend when frontman Brendon Urie broke his ankle on stage but he wasn’t planning on letting his fans down because he kept going through and even showed off his ankle. You can see it in the video but be warned it’s kind of vile.
TMZ reports that Brendon broke his ankle when climbing back on stage after going into the crowd, he then took his shoe off to show off the injury and said “there’s like a softball in my ankle … my left leg is done for the show, if you don’t mind … the show will go on if you’ll have us.”
When the show was over he then took to his Twitter account to post this photo of his foot all bandaged up. I have to say good on him for continuing the show but I feel a little sick after looking at the video.

Just yesterday it was announced that Whitney Houston is in an out-patient rehabilitation program for drugs and alcohol and now she has been given a ban from seeing Prince in concert because she is basically a mess.
TMZ reports that people working for Prince have gotten so sick of her drunken behavior and constant ticket demands so they have now banned her from attending his future shows.
On top of being drunk, and possibly on drugs, at every show she also wanted to get up on stage at most of the shows so they eventually let her up on stage at The Forum in Los Angeles and this is the result of that:
What a mess. In other news, Radar Online are reporting that Whitney’s is going back to the old days with her choice of drugs if Bobby Brown is to be believe. He is going around saying that Whitney is back on crack. A friend of Bobby said “It’s the worst it’s ever been. Whitney went on tour again, and that’s when the relapse occurred. Whitney’s shutting a lot of people out of her life. It is a dire situation.”
Let’s all get a prayer circle together and hope she gets herself together, but I honestly don’t see it happening for a long time.
For some odd reason Miley Cyrus decided to cover Nirvana‘s song ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ at a recent concert in Ecudar and you can watch it right here.
Miley dedicated the song to her little brother because she always sings it with him. I have to say it isn’t as horrific as I expected it to be. Take a listen and judge for yourself.
Lady GaGa has yet again landed herself in a shitstorm, this time she decided to wave the Republic of Ireland’s tricolor flag during a recent concert in Belfast which offended a lot of the crowd.
During the show GaGa whipped out the green, white and orange flag to the dismay of the crowd. Luckily no violence erupted during the concert but one fan said there was a bit of “unease” in the crowd. They say…
“It was about two thirds of the way through the show when she came out on stage with the Irish Tricolour. A lot of people were not impressed and there was a bit of unease in the crowd. Some people were making comments and others challenging them. It didn’t spill over but I certainly think the atmosphere suffered after that as a result. I just felt it was inappropriate, but maybe she didn’t realise Northern Ireland is separate from the Republic. You tend to find people at such shows from both religions and those with none, and this won’t go down well at all.”
I understand that it could have been an honest mistake and she may not have known the whole history of the flag and conflicts but surely someone in her team or the staff backstage could have told her not to do this? It makes me believe this was another one of her stupid little stunts.
I think that If anybody is going to whip out a flag in any country they should at least have someone do a quick check on wikipedia to make sure they won’t offend anybody.

Imagine going to see your favorite artist in concert and they jump off the stage and start punching you in the face. Well in the video below this happened to one Kid Cudi fan.
This all went down at a concert in Vancouver over the weekend when Michael Sharpe got punched in the face by the R&B star.
Sharpe says that one fan threw up his wallet on stage but when Cudi threw it back into the crowd he accidentally caught it so he threw it back up, this didn’t settle too well with Cudi who jumped off the stage and started to punch him.
Sharpe says that he isn’t going to press charges, he tells TMZ“I’m not upset, I’m not going to be that person. I just want to meet him and be like ‘I’m the guy you punched.’ I’m not going to press charges.”
If this happened to me I would seriously kick the living shit out of Kid Cudi, well I’d try before security got me.
In her song Circus, according to Britney Spears there is only two types of people in the world. Well there is apparently nine types of Britney fans who attend her concerts…
THE YOUNG SKANKS
Armed with a skirt line threatening to expose their lady regions with every half-step of her six-inch stilettos, The Young Skank is a many-numbered, many-splendored thing at the Britney concert. They’re here for the (underage) drinking, the straight dudes (approximately seven per show), and the excuse to wear a slutty top to show off their new rack.
Inside the show, the pose is generally uniform: cup of frothy beer thrusted into the air on high in the right hand, digital camera dangling from wriststrap on right hand, ass grinding hard against whatever skank/old man/chair seems closest. By the time “Get Naked†comes on, remember to shield your eyes—thongs leave devastating bruises when slingshot from across the arena.
THE OLD SKANKS
Bless their hearts. Forty is the new twenty, right ladies? This grown-up version of The Young Skank actually doesn’t know Britney’s lyrics by heart. Also, they don’t know the dances. They’re just here to prove, to themselves, that they’ve still got It. Wobbling around on imitation Christian Lacroixs stilettos rivaling even the bravest of their youthful counterparts, you’ll find The Old skanks wrapped around their toothless biker hubbies in the arena, giggling and making out as the show goes on. Leopard print is common, though a nice trim of zebra and pleather may waddle past your sight line during “Radar.” And if you really want to have some fun, watch their expressions whenever a twenty-one-year old breeze rolls by. Or appears shirtless on stage.
STATE SCHOOL GIRLS
You’ve seen them flocking into the show in droves: North Face sweaters (really?), Ugg boots (really?), and their hair slicked back in a ponytail that shines (REALLY?!). They don’t give a shit if this is a tour is for her latest album; they’re here for the nostalgia factor.
Good luck enjoying the concert if you’re standing next to this giggly gaggle. If they’re not busy readjusting their leggings and gabbing about Twitter mid-concert, they’re elbowing you to take their picture with all five of their cameras slung around your arm. Oh, and as for the music? You try enjoying Britney’s pre-recorded vocals with “SING …BABY ONE MORE TIME!†ringing in your ears for 90 minutes.
THE FRIGHTENINGLY DEVOTED GAYS & GIRLS
I’m talking to you. Now, we’ve been there every step of the way, from “Baby One More Time” to the 2007 Video Music Awards. We’re here for BRITNEY. And no, it hasn’t always been so easy.
Two years ago she was shaving her head, speaking in tongues, and getting strapped on to a gurney for a brief “relaxation” stint. And if there’s one thing we gays love more than rooting for a pop tart down on her luck, it’s her divine and miraculous return to grace. So look for us—we’ll be peppering the audience in our homemade, hot-pink glitter tees. And if you can’t see us, just stick out an ear and listen for the violent, shrill screams of “I LOVE YOU!†tucked in between the heaving sobs. We’re also the A-holes who paid top dollar for VIP passes, which we’ll be wearing around our necks for 72 more hours.
THE YOUNG GAYS
Oh, the nu-gays. At first, they’re easily confused with the devotees. But do not be fooled—they’re hardly fans. These are the followers trailing behind much of today’s overexposed pop culture—the same boys who believe Katy Perry is interesting (and bisexual), that Lady Gaga is the new Madonna, and that the music made before they were born (also known as The Pre-Auto-Tune Era) is like, totally boring. And since Britney remains just as much a radio fixture as she did with her debut, they’re here because society dictates that they should be—and hey, maybe they’ll score with that cute boy three rows down after the show. The one with the tongue ring.
PERVY, OLDER GAYS
They don’t know the words, they don’t know the dances, and perhaps if they weren’t surrounded by a dozen or so young gay men, they’d be giving you a piece of their mind about the state of the music industry today. Instead, they’ll settle by gently swaying along to the music in a X-Small tee and some tight leather arm bands, mostly devoted to providing long, awkward side-glances in your general direction. They, like the old skanks, are also here to prove that they’ve still ‘got it’—but mostly, they’re here for you, which is why they arrived alone. Have fun with that.
MEN WHO DRESS UP AS BRITNEY
Since the Post-Breakdown Era, the lady garment-wearin’ population has exploded throughout Britneydom like a Spederline spawn through a birthing canal. Now an irreversible, full-fledged gay icon, Britney and her many signature looks (the “Slave†outfit, the “Oops†PVC one-piece, and of course the “Baby†Catholic schoolgirl) have given cross-dressing pop fans a reason to hang up the ’84 VMA wedding dress and try something new for a change. Double-takes and quick camera phone snaps are more than welcome. In fact, if you don’t notice their red pleather one-piece, they’ll cut a bitch.
THE STRAIGHT GUYS
While few in number, representatives of the breeding male population do indeed make cameos at Britney concerts. Almost all of them are dutifully playing the role of the unwilling-but-submissive boyfriend (often to the Young Skank), dragged in as retribution for forgetting a birthday or just some good ol’ “bonding time.†Whether they’re scoping out the crowd for an opportune nip-slip or listening for another yelp of “My pussy’s hanging out!†from the stage, these boys are here for the T&A. With one arm secured behind their lady, The Straight Guys aren’t just marking their territory. In the presence of seven-foot trannies and fire-engine red flamers, they’re struggling to hold on to their machismo. In some cases, exercises in identity validation may prove vital, so remember: If you’re a lady attending the Britney show and you feel a slight tap on the ass, don’t worry—it’s not rude…it’s just necessary at some point.
OBLIVIOUS MOMS
This one never ceases to amaze me, and yet, they’ve shown up at every concert. They’re here for the 1998 Britney. Ever since Bethany and Madison were born, Mommy’s been too busy taking them out on play dates, enrolling them in private school, and preparing their lunches to notice that Britney’s turned into a major, major slut.
If it’s not the dirty pole routines and barely-there outfits, it’s the general buffoonery of the crowd that’ll have the moms storming out and demanding a refund about five songs into the show. (This is different from The Old Skank, who may be a mother, but is having a lovely time.) It’s quite likely The Oblivious Mom will even work up the anger to write a rant for the local paper, disgusted by what they thought would be just a wholesome night out with the kids. After all, Jessica Simpson would never be this distasteful.
This list is so true, when I was dragged to Britney Spears‘ Circus tour (translation – when I happily went but don’t want people to know that) I seen every single one of these groups.

This should come as no surprise since she has already showed off her boobs on several occasions, but Lily Allen gave her fans quite a show when she bared her butt on stage over the weekend.
Lily was performing to celebrate topping the charts over the weekend when she pulled up her skirt to reveal her ass, mind you the audience probably didn’t pay much attention since it was at G-A-Y club in London.
The whole show wasn’t quite as hot though, when she came out first she was wearing a pink panther outfit before stripping down to her new outfit.
After showing her ass off, Lily who has admitted she is back on the drink because she is “funnier on stage,” then got into a leather air hostess uniform to perform Britney Spears‘ song Womanizer.

So Lily Allen is back on the drink and she is stripping on stage already, I can’t wait to see what happens the further her promotional tour goes.
In October, Joaquin Phoenixquit acting to become a musician. So this weekend, he showed up at the swanky, $22 million nightclub Lavo at Palazzo to make his first announced concert performance. He rapped three songs after midnight Friday. Yeah. Rapped. Then he fell off a catwalk.
Phoenix said he rapped freestyle at smaller clubs, but those were surprise appearances. At one club, a DJ messed with him, and people threw ice at him.
“Are there people that are gonna say that it’s a joke? Yeah. Are there people that’s gonna say that I suck? Probably. I can’t control that. You know what I mean? I run that same (expletive) risk every movie I do. I feel like the other actors are going, ‘This dude sucks. This is a (expletive) joke.’”
But before that, he spent a surreal day at the hotel. Tourists gawked. Photographers stalked. Miss America contestants were filming in the hotel, so Phoenix found them, put on a tiara and Miss Kentucky’s sash, and posed for photos. At some other point, he pulled his shirt up to flash someone.
Kanye West getting in the news for losing his temper is becoming as typical as Amy Winehouse being in the news for having a drug binge.
During a recent concert someone in the audience threw something on stage at the rapper while he was doing his thing, this is when Kanye decided to change his lyrics on his song.
Kanye West ended up singing “eat shit and die” to whoever threw the object at him, as always Kanye remains classy.
Madonna fell on stage while playing a concert in Lisbon this past Sunday, after molesting her guitar for almost a minute the Queen of Pop heads to the other side of the stage and then falls over her own feet.
If it is too early for your eyes to see Madonna grinding a guitar then skip to around 0:47 seconds.
Jessica Simpson‘s debut country performance, opening for Sara Evans, Saturday night at Country Thunder, didn’t go as well as she hoped.
With only one country single released, fans doubted if the pop diva could stack up against other country music acts.
“Just because she’s dating Tony Romo it doesn’t make her country,” said Mike Rodriguez, 31, from Lake Geneva. “She doesn’t fit in with country, and I’ll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert.”
Zach Schlodt, 19, of Palatine, Ill., agreed. Simpson’s heart isn’t in country music, and she is just banking on the genre’s current popularity, he said.
“She’s an embarrassment to country music,” he added.
The Texas native’s first pop single “I Wanna Love You,” debuted in 1999. Over the past several years, the songstress has attained superstardom.
Her country single was released this summer; however, her album is not due until Sept. 9.
The crowd welcomed Simpson with a mixture of boos and cheers Saturday night. She strutted onto the stage in Daisy Duke shorts, a white button-down shirt and cowboy boots as she sang a cover of Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots are Made for Walking.”
Her set included several cover songs, such as Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” and Shania Twain’s “Who’s Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?”
She also belted out songs featured on her upcoming album called “Do You Know,” including the single “Come On Over.”
To the disappointment of many audience members, she also sang one of her pop hits “With You.”
So the question remains: Did Simpson prove herself?
It didn’t sit well with audience members that Simpson played after a more established country singer, Kellie Pickler.
Many audience members found her attempt to crossover into country irritating and that her vocals lacked a southern sound.
“I just don’t hear the country in her; I don’t hear the twang. She’s not good enough to be here,” said Adam Matos, 21, from Arlington Heights, Ill.
One man summed her performance up in a single word.
“It’s crap,” said Ryan Sia, 28, from East Troy. “She doesn’t belong here.”
But there were a few die-hard Simpson supporters in the crowd.
“I actually like her country songs better. She has a great voice, plus, she’s adorable,” said Mary Grace, 24, from Mundelein, Ill.
Simpson seemed aware of the tension.
“I don’t know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I’m just a girl from Texas; I’m just like you. I’m doing what I love and dating a boy,” Simpson said.
And it doesn’t sound like Simpson is treating country music like a momentary diversion; before exiting the stage she announced she has no plans to produce a pop album again.
Seriously Jessica, sit down and eat another twinkie.
