Glastonbury Festival: Public Urination Blamed for “Dangerous” Levels of MDMA, Cocaine in River
Glastonbury Music Festival has been linked to “dangerous” levels of MDMA and cocaine in the adjacent Whitelake River, and scientists believe they’ve found the, uh, number one problem. As BBC reports, public urination by festival goers is dumping toxic levels of drugs into the waterways around Somerset, UK. The 2020 and 2021 editions of the fest were cancelled due to COVID-19, and the new study looked at Glastonbury 2019. Researchers measured drug levels upstream and downstream of the site before, during, and after the festival. A week later, MDMA concentrations had quadrupled downstream. It’s unclear if the levels are high enough to effect humans, and this certainly isn’t an argument to open your mouth near people pissing. Part of the problem is that we’re not sure how damaging this waste ...
Dog the Bounty Hunter Promises to “Find” Brian Laundrie
Reality TV star Duane Chapman, a.k.a. Dog the Bounty Hunter, has joined the search for Brian Laundrie, the man who police identify as a person of interest in the murder of Gabby Petito. Chapman knocked on the door of the Laundrie family’s home on Saturday, but no one answered. In an interview with The Daily Mail, the former bail bondsman promised he would “find” Laundrie, and added that he is “chasing several leads… We’ve got a lot of leads. I can’t tell you more but we are getting leads every 10 minutes.” A representative for Chapman told The Daily Mail that he is”volunteering” his services and will cooperate with law enforcement. He has also set up a dedicated phone line — 833-TELL-DOG — for any tips about Laundrie’s whereabouts. Advertisement Related Video After her parents reported her...
William Shatner Is Going to Space Next Month
William Shatner is going where only few men have gone before: the Star Trek actor is set to blast off into space aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket. TMZ reports that Shatner will be among the passengers aboard the rocket when it launches in October. In doing so, the 90-year-old actor will become the oldest person ever to go to space, breaking a record recently set by astronaut Wally Funk, who took a trip aboard the Blue Origin in July. Perhaps equally significant, Shatner will also be the first-ever inductee of the WWE’s Wrestling Hall of Fame to go to space. Blue Origin’s 11-minute sub orbital flight takes passengers more than 62 miles above Earth, including three minutes in zero gravity. Shatner is reportedly filming the once-in-a-lifetime experience for an upcoming documentary. Adver...
Foo Fighters Rock Out on Stage with Giant Mascots During Private Corporate Gig: Watch
San Francisco tech company Salesforce kicked off their three-day Dreamforce conference on September 21st, treating attendees to a performance from none other than Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl and co. have had plenty of memorable moments over the course of their career, but the corporate gig likely marked the first time Foo Fighters ever shared the with a group of oversized costumed mascots. While the band performed “All My Life,” they were joined by a trio of mascots named Astro, Einstein, and Ruth. Acknowledging his costumed guests for bringing the energy in the San Francisco heat, Grohl slowed things down for a bit to let them catch a breather. “I’m going to break it down, because I know you’re fucking dying in that suit right now. Einstein, are you okay?” Grohl asked before the band tr...
Liam Gallagher Says He Fell Out of a Helicopter
Here’s another story to add to the legend of Liam Gallagher: the former Oasis singer apparently fell out of a helicopter and lived to tell about it. “So check this out I fell out the helicopter last night you couldn’t rite it,” Gallagher tweeted on Saturday alongside a photo of his face heavily bandaged. He added, “all good who said RnR is dead Keith moon eat your drum skin out C’mon you know LG x.” Gallagher also joked that the image would be used for the cover of his next album. The British rocker didn’t provide many other details about his fall. When one fan surmised Gallagher had simply faceplanted after exiting a helicopter upon its landing, Gallagher responded, “100 thousand feet you bumblecart.” He also suggested there’s footage of the incident that will be included in a future vide...
Rick Ross Just Got His Driver’s License at 45 Years Old
In late July, Rick Ross admitted on Instagram that he never got around to getting his driver’s license despite claiming to own a fleet of more than 100 luxury cars. Drivers near his palatial mansion in Fayetteville, Georgia can now rest assured the 45-year-old rapper is officially approved to take to the roads. While appearing on The Today Show last week to promote his new book, The Perfect Day to Boss Up: A Hustler’s Guide to Building Your Empire, Rozay confirmed he had recently acquired his driver’s license. “I actually was driven to the test. I have over 100 cars, and I just hadn’t had my license,” he explained. “So, whenever I go joyriding, it was just one of those things. My mom and my sister pressured me, finally. So I went and took the test. It took me an hour. You know, I missed a ...
Lil Uzi Vert Has Implanted Diamond Torn from His Forehead After Diving Into Crowd
If you happen to have a $24 million diamond implanted on your forehead, it’s probably not the best idea to jump into a raging crowd. Lil Uzi Vert learned this the hard way after he jumped into the crowd at Miami’s Rolling Loud Festival only to have his custom Elliot Eliantte diamond ripped right off his forehead. After Lil Uzi Vert was spotted recently without his signature diamond, a TMZ camera man asked him of its whereabouts. “I had a show at Rolling Loud and I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it out,” Uzi explained. Fortunately, he was somehow able to hold onto the diamond and still has it in his possession. After saving up for it since 2017, Lil Uzi Vert got the diamond implanted in February. He temporarily removed it in June after it caused him some bleeding, but had it ...
Paul Stanley Seen Without Mask Days After Testing Positive for COVID-19
Just days after announcing he tested positive for COVID-19, KISS singer-guitarist Paul Stanley was spotted walking inside of a Los Angeles hotel without a face mask. The Daily Mail published photographs of a maskless Stanley entering Sunset Marquis Hotel on Tuesday — five days after he announced his positive diagnosis. The following day, Stanley took to Twitter to say he was “staying clear of people for a few more days.” He added, “Do I think my ‘freedom’ ever includes jeopardizing other people’s health?… No, I don’t.” Advertisement Related Video Stanley’s KISS bandmate, Gene Simmons, has also tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the band has postponed seven tour dates. They hope to return to the road starting September 9th in Irvine, CA. Stay safe and mask up. Better yet, grab a fac...
Kanye West Gets Absolutely Roasted by… Peppa Pig?
As all parents know, Peppa Pig is an insufferable little swine, devoid of any redeeming qualities except that her nearly constant whining and snorting can buy mom and dad about five minutes of precious silence. But the same personality that makes her such a bully to poor George Pig can also be extended to people who actually deserve it. And when it came time to roast Kanye West, that little porker went HAM. The savage tweet from the Peppa Pig account has now been deleted, the better to keep up the pretense that this porcine oppressor should be allowed anywhere near your children. But screenshots have preserved it for posterity, and it concerns the Pitchfork reviews of two divisive albums: Peppa Pig’s Peppa’s Adventures and Ye’s Donda. You see, Pitchfork gave Peppa’...
Olympia Music Festival Scammed by Fake Jonathan Richman
Up until Friday, August 27th, Modern Lovers singer Jonathan Richman was scheduled to headline LoveOly Summer Fest in Olympia, Washington — or so the organizers thought. As it turns out, the Olympia Film Society fell victim to “an elaborate booking scam” and neither Richman nor his publicist knew anything about the concert until they were contacted for an interview. As reported by The Olympian, the scam was uncovered when Mark “Markly” Morrison, host of the Low Profile podcast, contacted Richman’s publicist Debbie Gulyas to request an interview with the veteran singer-songwriter. Both Gulyas and Richman were “confused,” as they had no knowledge about his festival appearance until receiving the email. The Film Society, which books concerts for the weekly festival, had slated Richma...
James Corden Gets Roasted for Blocking LA Traffic with Flash Mob
Let’s get…loud? James Corden held up traffic in Los Angeles on Friday with the cast of the upcoming Cinderella remake to perform Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud” while dressed in as a giant mouse. One particular driver at the front of the pack happened to capture the performance, and got a front row seat to Corden thrusting in the air to the beat while Camila Cabello breathlessly mouthed the words to J.Lo’s hit 1999 single. “LMFAO CAMILLA IS SO PRETTY,” the fan posted on Twitter alongside the clip, leading it to go viral with jokes, criticism, and other hilarious commentary. “Imagine being late to work because james corden had to do hip thrusts at you in a rat costume,” one person quipped, while another wrote, “Seeing James Corden in a rat costume one more time will be the start of my vil...
Kanye Brings Out Marilyn Manson and DaBaby at Donda Listening Party
Kanye West held his latest Donda listening party at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Thursday night, and he made the conscious decision to appear alongside two of the most toxic figures in music: Marilyn Manson and DaBaby. Manson and DaBaby accompanied West on the porch of a replica of his childhood home, constructed midfield at Soldier Field. Presumably, their appearances were some sort of commentary on “canceled” musicians; in the case of Manson, he’s been accused by multiple women of sexual abuse. Meanwhile, DaBaby was dropped by a number of major music festivals after going on a homophobic rant last month. What’s more, Kanye replaced a Jay-Z verse on Donda with one from DaBaby. And the evening only got more bizarre from there: towards the end of the listening party, Kanye literally lit himse...
