Brooklyn Concert by Would-Be Assassin John Hinckley Jr. Cancelled
John Hinckley Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan and three other men in an unhinged bid to impress Jodie Foster, will not be performing in Brooklyn after all. The venue, Market Hotel, has released a lengthy statement calling their decision to host Hinckley “stunt booking” and suggesting that such a performance would be inappropriate in our current “dangerously radicalized, reactionary climate.” Hinckley was released into the custody of his mother in 2016 after spending 34 years in institutional psychiatric care. Today, June 15th, he became free of court restrictions for the first time since his 1981 arrest. He was set to celebrate on his “Redemption Tour,” which included a sold-out stop in Brooklyn on July 8th. “If we were going to host an event for the principle, and potentia...
Post Malone Reveals Insane Personal Record for Most Cigarettes Smoked in a Day
Post Malone has spilled the tea in a new interview about the depth of his infamous smoking habit. “On a really terrible day — there’s a very fine line between a terrible day and a good day… 40 to 45,” he told Full Send about how many cigarettes he tends to average per day. “By the time I ask Ben for that second pack I’m like, ‘Alright dude, chill out,’ you know. But by the time I open that third pack I’m like, ‘I’m a total piece of shit and I need to go to sleep.’” As for the most cigarettes he’s ever smoked in a day, Posty admitted that number is about double his daily average. “Probably like 80,” he confessed before adding, “I used to [smoke in my bed] but not really anymore. Now I have a special zone that has my PC in it and my Magic: The Gathering shit, so I just go down there an...
Britney Spears’ Ex-Husband Crashed Her Wedding, Promptly Tackled by Security
Police were called to Britney Spears’ Los Angeles residence on Thursday after her ex-husband, Jason Alexander, attempted to crash her wedding to Sam Asghari. TMZ reports that Alexander was confronted by Spears’ security, leading to a physical altercation. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department eventually responded and remain on the scene. It’s unclear why Alexander was motivated to crash the wedding. He and Spears were married for only 55 hours after a spur-of-the-moment Las Vegas wedding ceremony in 2004.

Spears and her longtime boyfriend Asghari are expected to get married in an intimate ceremony held outside of her Los Angeles home on Thurs...
Mick Jagger: Harry Styles Is a “Superficial Resemblance to My Younger Self”
Mick Jagger says Harry Styles is a “superficial resemblance to my younger self” who “doesn’t have a voice like mine or move on stage like me.” The Rolling Stones’ frontman’s eyebrow-raising comments about Styles came in what was otherwise a mundane interview with The London Times designed to drum up publicity for the band’s upcoming 60th anniversary tour. Jagger prefaced his remarks by saying he likes Styles and the two have “an easy relationship.” But the pleasantries ended there, as Jagger proceeded to rattle off all the reasons why there’s no comparison between the two. Advertisement Related Video “I mean, I used to wear a lot more eye make-up than him. Come on, I was much more androgynous,” Jagger said. “And he doesn’t have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a supe...
Ted Cruz Is Jealous of Pete Davidson: “How Come That Dude Gets All of These Hot Women?”
Ted Cruz, who looks like a child tried to paint a face on a bowl of mashed potatoes, does not understand the appeal of Pete Davidson, complaining on his podcast, “How come that dude gets all of these hot women?” On Friday’s episode of The Verdict with Ted Cruz, his co-host Michael Knowles read out a fan question. “‘We are seeing women like Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith, Megan Markle, Kim Kardashian. Is it time we start talking about toxic femininity?’” Cruz began his answer behaving as if he’s aware that women are, in fact, people, though he wasn’t able to keep up the illusion for long. “Jada Pinkett Smith, it seems unfair to blame her for the fact that Will Smith went and took a swing at someone,” he said. “He has agency, so I’m not going to blame her for that. Amber Hear...

Ted Nugent Urges Trump Supporters to “[Go] Berserk on the Skulls of the Democrats”
Ted Nugent called for violence against “Democrats” and other “enemies” of America while performing at a rally for Donald Trump in Austin on Saturday night. “Think of what the enemies of America have done over the last 14 months,” Nugent told the crowd. “They didn’t sneak into the White House — they lied, they cheated, they scammed, and everyday the Democrats violate their sacred oath to the Constitution. And if you can’t impress you friends on that, they shouldn’t be your friends.” “I love you people madly,” Nugent continued, “but I’d love you more if you went forward and just went berserk on the skulls of the Democrats and the Marxists and the Communists.” Advertisement Related Video Nugent’s comments came just hours after a white supremacist shot and killed 10 people and wounded three ot...
Madonna Gives Birth to Trees and Butterflies in Fully Nude NFTs
Madonna has jumped on the NFT bandwagon, and much like her career in pop music, she’s not afraid to, uh, push boundaries. The musician teamed up with digital artist Beeple to create the charity-benefitting, very NSFW collection “Mother of Creation,” which depicts a fully nude Madge giving birth to trees, butterflies, and other insects. According to Madonna, the “Mother of Creation” trifecta is meant to draw a connection between the ways people create life and the ways people create art. “I wanted to investigate the concept of creation, not only the way a child enters the world through a woman’s vagina, but also the way an artist gives birth to creativity,” the artist explained in a statement. The collection offers three, minute-long videos of a digitized Madonna, where those aforementioned...
Here’s the Story Behind the White House’s Secret Vinyl Collection
Sure, the Library of Congress has a National Film Registry, and sure, President Obama stays up to date on popular music, but can you imagine the White House housing its own private record collection? For a time, it did, and John Chuldenko — grandson of President Jimmy Carter — unearthed it. Chuldenko, a writer, director, and producer, learned of the vinyl collection from his uncle Jeff, who, as Carter’s youngest son, spun the music himself when he was living at the White House. The selection came to be in the 1970s, when the Recording Industry Association of America approached the White House about creating a library for music the same way the American Booksellers Association had done for books. Songwriter Johnny Mercer curated the library’s initial installation, and over 1,800 LPs were pr...
The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando Says Jawbreaker Are “Pussies” After Being Fired from Their Tour
In today’s dose alt-rock drama: Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando posted some harsh tweets this week at the expense of Jawbreaker, after the latter band fired the former from a tour. “I just want anyone anyone and everyone to know that Jawbreaker are pussies. Fact not my opinion,” Dando wrote on May 5th. “Or rather they aren’t the Bruce Springsteen’s of alternative rock that they pretend to be . I’ll meet any of them any time for a Fight let’s go.” Back in April, Jawbreaker posted an update to social media saying The Get Up Kids would be replacing The Lemonheads for three tour dates on the “Dear You” 25th Anniversary Tour. Jawbreaker didn’t explain the cause of the switch-up, but Dando evidently had some ideas: “Those motherfuckers kicked us off the tour because they were scared of us With me...
NASA Scientists Hope to Send Nudes in Message to Aliens
Leave it to NASA to come up with a new way to send unsolicited nudes. In a recent study proposing a new type of message to beam to intelligent life forms, scientists shared a slide containing a naked photo of a man and a woman. Named A Beacon in the Galaxy, the message was laid out in a paper written by Jonathan Jiang, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and his colleagues. The team hopes to build on past attempts to connect with extraterrestrials through a message written in binary code that contains basic concepts in mathematics, chemistry, and biology. One of the slides is titled “Illustrations of the Human Form,” and it contains a pixelated man and woman standing next to each other with nary a piece of clothing in sight. On one side of the “depiction of human mal...
Fans of Garth Brooks Cause Small Earthquake During LSU Concert
Since his version of “Callin’ Baton Rouge” doubles at LSU’s unofficial anthem, Garth Brooks must have expected his performance of the country standard at Tiger Stadium would get fans shaking in their boots. But even he couldn’t have predicted it would cause a literal earthquake captured by the school’s seismograph. Around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday night, Brooks teased the crowd of more than 100,000 by saying, “I have to ask you, Baton Rouge? Is it time?” Once the opening strains of the fiddle hit, the crowd proceeded to lose their shit while singing in unison, clapping their hands, and stomping their feet. In the process, they registered a small earthquake on a seismograph set up in anticipation of the performance. “The noise level in the stadium was insane!” wrote one attendee on Faceboo...
