Lil Wayne leaves stoned crowd in haze after storming off stage
Imagine Lil Wayne’s surprise when he discovered that the whole audience seemed to be utterly stoned at his San Bernardino gig on Saturday.
He might have guessed: he was playing the High Times Cannabis Concentrates Cup, billed as “the world’s leading marijuana trade show.”
Wayne even lit up a homemade cigarette onstage. But barely three songs into his one-hour set, he lost patience with the unfocused crowd, Rolling Stone reports.
He dropped the mic and stormed offstage.
But first he ranted thusly: “Don’t you ever call me to do this (rude word) again. Ever.”
To be sure his message cut through the haze, he added this: “Don’t you ever, ever, ever, ask me to do this (rude word) again.”
He’s 33.
Celebs! They’re just like us! Even Christopher Walken!
The actor and icon of weirdness tells Parade mag he adopted a “tuxedo cat” — white with black markings, or perhaps the opposite — who appeared on his porch one day, with kittens.
“Now I have this basically wild cat that likes to be outside, but … when it gets cold, she comes in. … My cats are extremely well taken care of. Frankly, if there’s such a thing as reincarnation, it would be wonderful to come back as my cat. I’m not sure you could do better than that.”
The mother’s name is just “the Cat.”
He didn’t explain about the kittens, but added that he and his wife, Georgianne, consider pets to be their children. “I think a lot of people are like that with their pets.”
Perhaps it’s just as well that he has no human offspring. He’s 73.
What a relief to know that Ozzy Osbourne has patched things up with his wife of 34 years, Sharon.
Ozzy has never exactly admitted the alleged affair with some hairdresser Sharon knows. But when he appeared on Good Morning America the other day with his son, Jack, plugging some new reality show they’re doing, Ozzy called the tiff “just a bump in the road.”
Well, it was more than that — Sharon threw him out, did interviews and consulted a highpriced divorce lawyer.
But now Ozzy says “some days it’s good, some days it’s terrible. … But you get back on the horse, you know.”
Later, on another talk show, Sharon confirmed the reunification but mocked Ozzy’s metaphor: “‘Get back on the horse!’ How dare you? He’s such a romantic fool.”
You hear plenty of bad ideas these days, but few are quite as bad as this: George Harrison’s widow, Olivia, and their son, Dhani, are talking about digging out some of George’s unfinished songs, buffing them up and making a buck from them.
Billboard mag got the plan from Olivia. So far it’s only tentative, apparently.
“There are a lot of songs that are unfinished,” Olivia told the magazine. “I think there’s a project there. I just need time to get to it.” She’s 68. Dhani is 37. George died in 2001, age 58.
