Saturday night, 20-year-old Kyle King decided to make his night at Britney Spears’ concert in Uncasville, Ct., even more special by running onstage during the finale performance of “Womanizer,” unnerving the singer and getting himself arrested. King probably won’t plead “not guilty” at his June court date, though; the kid was so excited by his newfound media notoriety, he posted an animated .gif of himself trying to freak Spears on his MySpace page, on which he also notes “I Stick Out… It’s Funner :].” The fameballs start younger and younger these days, don’t they? A clip of the incident after the jump–if you want to skip right to the part where King tries to get Spears’ crazy, it’s at the 3:10 mark. MORE »

Gym Class Heroes Singer Arrested For Properly Responding To Audience Member’s Racial Slur
Travis McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes responded to a Warped Tour attendee who heckled him with the former title of Nas’ album last night (and a few other choice words) by breaking his microphone over said audience member’s head as he was being led out by security. “I’m sorry. But when someone calls you something that offensive and that disgusting, you have to bash their head in with a microphone,” McCoy said after everything went down. Apparently local police didn’t agree, as they arrested him on one count of third-degree assault (he was released early this morning). Me, I’m just wondering just when he’s going to weigh in on the incident on his blog. A very shaky clip of last night’s scuffle–complete with post-skullcrushing dedication to the ladies in the audience out there–is after the jump. MORE »

Live Nation Attempting To Take “Biggest Jerks In The Ticketing Biz” Title Away From Ticketmaster
From an e-mail blast sent by turmoil-filled concert behemoth Live Nation to New York concertgoers: “Live Nation announced today that effective immediately customers purchasing tickets on livenation.com will be afforded the privilege of entering shows prior to those holding tickets purchased other ticketing services.” Talk about two Americas! Although I guess that’s one way to make attendees a bit less grumbly about paying one company’s “convenience fees,” as opposed to those being demanded by said company’s competitors. MORE »

Watching Shows Through Other Peoples’ Viewfinders: It Really, Really Sucks
Continuing the thread of distraction and music–particularly in live settings–over the weekend a blogger whose writings I enjoy attended a Radiohead show and was almost driven mad by the way many of his fellow concertgoers were so focused on the commemoration of the experience, they almost forgot to actually, you know, experience the show (or let their fellow concert-goers do so): MORE »
