PUDDLE OF MUDD FRONTMAN ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Puddle of Mudd’s frontman is looking more like a pile of shit. Apparently, Wes Scantlin has been arrested for domestic violence after allegedly beating up his ex-wife.

The incident happened yesterday (May 13) in Los Angeles. Police were called to a business in West Hollywood at 3.30pm (PT) after it was reported that Scantlin apparently dragged his ex-wife and then pulled her by the arm or the shirt, writes TMZ. However it is doubtful that ia tug is all that happened. Usually the po po doesn't get called for a little tug, they get called if serious violence occured, right?

Police spoke with witnesses and the victim upon arrival and then arrested Scantlin for domestic violence. A source told the media outlet that Scantlin was 'extremely uncooperative', saying: "He was very mouthy." Scantlin is currently in custody with bail set at $20,000. This isn’t the first time he fights the law. He was arrested on May 7 for warrants stemming from his guilty plea to cocaine possession in June 2012.

He was also arrested last September after arguing with staff on board a flight. The plane he was on was forced to make an emergency stop in Austin, Texas and Scantlin was removed and arrested. This guy sounds like bad news all around. Ugh...

MICK JAGGER GETS APOLOGY FROM KEITH RICHARDS

Mick Jagger has revealed that receiving an apology from Keith Richards for his infamous penis slur was a "prerequisite" to The Rolling Stones going on tour again. 

In his 2010 autobiography Life, Richards wrote of his bandmate: "Marianne Faithfull had no fun with his tiny todger. I know he's got an enormous pair of balls, but it doesn't quite fill the gap."

However, Richards has now apologized for causing embarrassment to his bandmate. "Well, I think it was a good thing he got together with me and said that," Jagger told Rolling Stone. "I don't really want to talk about it apart from that, but I think it's good that he said it, and yes, it was a prerequisite, really."

in a separate interview with the magazine, Richards hinted that the apology may not have been entirely sincere. He said: "We resolved it, in our own way, you know. I said I regret if I caused you any, you know, inconvenience or pain, or something. I'd say anything to get the band together, you know? I'd lie to my mother."

He'd even smoke some more of his dad's ashes, I'm sure...

PETE DOHERTY AND MACULAY CULKIN = TROUBLE

Pete Doherty has an unlikely house guest at his Paris home: Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin.

The pair share a mutual friend in New York musician Adam Green, with whom Culkin recently toured the UK, and their friendship has led to the actor spending time with Doherty while staying in Paris. The Sun reports that Culkin is a fan of the "bohemian" lifestyle enjoyed in Paris and that he has bonded with the Babyshambles frontman over poetry and acting.  And I’m pretty sure they forgot to mention they share hier their love of crack, heroin, or drugs im general as well.

"Macaulay and Pete may seem an odd couple but they’ve got loads of interests and life experiences in common," a source told the paper.

"They bonded over their love of poetry and art. Macaulay can’t get enough of listening to Pete waxing lyrical about his painting and music. He’s always been a fan of extreme characters like Pete. Look at the way he defends his childhood friend Michael Jackson. Pete also loves talking to Macaulay about acting, as he’s been trying to launch a movie career."

Pair of weirdos...

RAPPER GETS A BLOW JOB ON STAGE!

It isn't the first time someone has received a blow job onstage, but it will shock people every time. In this case it happened to detroit rapper Danny Brown. The artist received impromptu oral sex while on stage at a concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota last Friday (April 26).

Brown was appearing at the Triple Rock Social Club on his ‘The Old & Reckless’ tour. According to AllHipHop, Brown spent much of the show being groped by fans on the front row until one took things a stage further. The unnamed girl reportedly flashed the rapper before performing fellatio on him. Ever the professional, Brown continued to rap throughout the experience.

An eyewitness posted online: "Okay so this is how it all went down I was near the front row and all night Danny had been going up to the crowd and having random girls touch his dick through his pants. Then this girl in front of me starts flashing 

him and he goes up to her and grabs her tits. Then all of a sudden gets up close pulls his shirt up a little and she start blowing him."

After hearing reports of the evenings event, Kendrick Lamar (pictured above right) sent Brown an incredulous message via Twitter: "@xdannyxbrownx u really just got the head on stage stanny???"

Danny Brown, replied: "<<<- and didn't miss one bar bruh bruh."

Both men have since deleted their tweets.

         

DEFTONES PAY TRIBUTE TO DECEASED RAPPER

 Deftones have paid tribute to the late Chris Kelly by covering Kris Kross's 1992 hit single 'Jump'.

The band performed a cover of the song at their show last night (May 1) in St Louis, mashing it up with their own track 'Engine No 9'.

"We got word that a member of Kris Kross has passed," said frontman Chino Moreno before launching into the song.

Kelly - of 1990s rap duo Kris Kross - was found "unresponsive" at his home in Atlanta on yesterday (May 1) and was transported to Atlanta Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

It is being reported that 34-year-old Kelly allegedly took a mixture of heroin and cocaine on the night before his death.

The rapper's mother, Donna Kelly Pratt, apparently told police that her son had taken a 'speedball'.

Kris Kross – who were famous for wearing their clothes backwards – was made up of Kelly, aka 'Mac Daddy', and Chris 'Daddy Mac' Smith. The duo achieved fame with their 1992 album 'Totally Krossed Out'.

R.I.P. Chris Kelly

PARK TO BE RENAMED IN HONOR OF BEASTIE BOYS' MCA

Palmetto Playground in Brooklyn Heights to be renamed in honor of Beastie Boys member and Brooklyn native, Adam Yauch. 

Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Kevin Jeffrey will join Borough President Marty Markowitz; State Senator Daniel Squadron; Council Member Stephen Levin;  Beastie Boys member Adam Horovitz; parents of Adam Yauch and members of the Yauch family; and John Silva of Silva Artist Management will be present at the ceremony taking place this Friday at 11 AM. 

Adam Yauch also known as MCA grew up in Brooklyn Heights, on State Street, and learned to ride a bicycle in the park that will now bear his name. A pioneer in the worlds of music, social activism and film, Yauch was not only a founding member of the Beastie Boys, but also established the Milarepa Fund that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and created the film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories.

Yauch passed away last year in his native New York City a near-three-year battle with cancer.

Adam Yauch Park (formerly Palmetto Playground) is located in the southernmost portion of the neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights on Atlantic Ave. Colombia Pl., State St. Brooklyn.
