Bengals Fans Dropkick Katy Perry

 When you think about the tough men who made the NFL what it is, and getting fired up for a huge game against a rival, only one name comes to mind: Katy Perry.

 Or, not. But someone in the Bengals' office decided that Perry's hit "Roar" would work perfectly for their games, including as the song to introduce the team. Bengals? Roar? Get it? Yeah.

This was not thought out that well. There has to be some context. Metallica is fine. "Until It Sleeps" by Metallica just before NFL game is not. To the surprise of nobody, Bengals fans were quite unhappy with the pop star's anthem, which played before, during and after its home opener against Pittsburgh on Monday night.

It's a nice enough song if you're a 12-year-old girl, but I would have paid good money to see James Harrison's reaction when he heard it playing over the stadium speakers.

I mean, come on Bengals ...

Not exactly "Hells Bells." But no worries, the Bengals are not going to subject the fans to the embarrassment of more "Roar" after they flooded social media with complaints. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Bengals said the song will not be featured as prominently, which likely (hopefully) means not at all.

"I think some fans proved that there's an expectation that when the team takes the field, there should be more of a hard-rock, classic-rock song and I know that's what we're going to do this game," said Jeff Berding, the Bengals' director of sales and public affairs. "Katy Perry is not going to be the last song you hear before the team takes the field."

Here's a tip, Bengals: Cross "Firework" and "I Kissed a Girl" off the list of possible new intro songs. And please, please, no Bieber either. Just trust me.  Source

Brandy Sings to Near Empty Stadium, After Most Had Gone Home

In retrospect, it seems like someone should have said something sooner.

 Brandy was secretly slated to be the surprise grand finale at the Nelson Mandela Sports and Culture Day, but since fans had no idea the singer would be the final act at the end of a packed schedule, almost all of them had left the building by the time she stepped on stage. Oops.

 To put it in perspective, the FNB stadium in Soweto, South Africa, holds 90,000 guests and had been packed the entire day. When Brandy came out for her big moment, however, only 40 people remained. Oh, and reportedly, the lights were on (which was probably one of the reasons guests thought this shindig was done).

 "Brandy performed to an empty stadium. With the stadium lights on," local musician Kabomo tweeted.

 Other event-goers shared Kabomo's shock. Twitter user Crazy Girl Tutu (how we love that name), shared, "I gave up the min I saw the empty stadium. Brandy performing for the chairs!"...More

Tiger Still a Pussycat, Remains Off His Game

On Sunday at the PGA Championship, everyone knew that Tiger Woods would not be winning his 15th major championship. Coming in off one of his best performances since he was snagging majors five years ago, Woods was the hot story and the obvious pick, but his four days at Oak Hill were a reminder that despite how he dominates the regular PGA Tour events all season, it's the majors that continue to flummox the No. 1 player in the world.

 Woods shot a round of even-par 70 on Sunday, never giving up despite a bogey-double bogey finish to his front nine and the fact that when that driver comes out of the bag, our guess is as good as his to where it will end up.

 Tiger shot a back nine 32, never giving up and grinding as hard as he could, especially over the last two holes when he couldn't be more out of position. Woods grabbed his back after a tee shot on the par-5 13th, but continued to go after tee shots and try to dig irons out of the rough, a testament to just how much this man cares about always shooting one shot better if possible.

 But the real story here isn't his play at Oak Hill, but his play at all the majors. Last month I wrote a piece defending Tiger's play, pointing out that a T-6 at a major is a pretty incredible accomplishment considering he had has B game at Muirfield. This week isn't as defensible. Woods simply should have played better at the PGA, coming in off a big win at Firestone in which it seemed all parts of his game were clicking.

 This isn't a swing problem or a club issue, it's all mental. The space between Tiger's ears that used to be so invincible seems to get rattled when it's major championship week, and no matter if the course is dry and fast or soft and wet or tree lined or wind-swept, it's the same story for the man with 14 majors....More

Tara Reid Proves She's Dumber than Sharknado

Tara Reid has proven that just starring in a movie called "Sharknado" does not make her an expert on sea life.

The 37-year-old actress made that clear when she went on Discovery's Shark Week talk show "Shark After Dark" last night. She told the host, "Today I was like, all right, I don't want to, like, really sound stupid when I do this show today, like... so I learned a little education on sharks."

She added, "So I look up 'sharks' on the Internet and I see 'whale sharks,' so I'm like, that must mean that a whale and a shark have sex. And then I think, 'Well, how do a whale and a shark have sex?'"

To the sounds of a snickering audience, she was asked, "Was there a video of it?" Reid said, "No, there is a thing called whale sharks, and then I realized whales are mammals and sharks are animals, so they have nothing to do with each other."

She continued, "So basically the dolphins have sex with each other, but the sharks don't, so I thought, 'How is it such a thing?' But the difference is, there is a whale shark, which is the biggest shark in the ocean — he's also scary — and then you have the great white, who's also scary. There are over 400 kinds of sharks, but the whale shark is kind of interesting because he's not so mean."

If you're confused, so were her co-hosts.

 As one pointed out, there's also a tiger shark — and that is not a literal meeting of tiger and shark. And neither is the whale shark....More

Hi NO, Silver--Depp Craters at the Box Office

 The mega-budget "The Lone Ranger" went down in a cloud of a dust in its box-office debut over the July 4 weekend, saddling the studio with a "John Carter"-sized disaster.

 Over the five-day holiday weekend, the masked rider will have brought in around $49 million. That's about $20 million under analysts' projections and nearly $90 million behind the total of the No. 1 movie, Universal and Illumination Entertainment's animated family film "Despicable Me 2."

 Worse, the $29.4 million three-day Friday-Sunday total for the $225 million adaptation of the classic radio and TV show, with Armie Hammer as the title character and Johnny Depp as Tonto, was weaker than that of last year's bomb "John Carter."

 That $250-million sci-fi adventure opened to $30.1 million, topped out at $73 million at the domestic box office and Disney wound up with a $200 million write down.

 It's hard to imagine Disney executives aren't questioning the decision they made last summer to restart production on the Western after having shut it down when the budget began spiraling out of control.

 "The Lone Ranger" marks the second consecutive major box-office misfire for Depp, who starred in last summer's "Dark Shadows." That send-up of a 1960s TV vampire soap cost $150 million to produce and topped out at $80 million. It opened to a mere $29 million -- and "The Lone Ranger" did worse than that.

 With Depp and the "Pirates of the Caribbean team of producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski on board, Disney had hoped "The Lone Ranger" could do for Westerns what that $3.7 billion four-film franchise had done for pirate movies....More

Rihanna Belts Her Own Fan with Microphone

 Rihanna got nasty at her Birmingham, UK show on Tuesday night, June 18, and we're not talking about her erotic stage show.

 With security guards surrounding her, the 25-year-old S&M singer stepped down into the audience to greet fans and shake hands. When one concertgoer refused to let go of her arm, Rihanna took matters into her own hands and whacked the person with her microphone.

 The pop star isn't apologizing for the incident either. She tweeted after the performance: "Purpose! That b**** won't let me go." Link

Pia Zadora Chokes Teenaged Son At Bedtime

Pia Zadora is very serious about her beauty rest. The former Broadway star, who was arrested on charges of domestic battery and coercion at her Las Vegas home on Saturday, June 1, reportedly flew into a rage against her teenage son over his curfew -- because it was affecting her own quiet time.

According to a police report released on Monday, June 3, the 61-year-old entertainer was trying to get her 16-year-old son, Jordan, to go to bed around 11 p.m. on Saturday when the argument broke out.

"Jordan said he told his mom he wanted to stay outside and talk because it was a weekend night," the police report said, according to CNN. Zadora --who had been drinking alcohol earlier in the night with her husband, Las Vegas Police Det. Michael Jeffries -- then became "upset and angry" and "got the hose and started squirting everyone, insisting that Jordan go to bed and Mike Jr. [Jeffries' son] leave," the report continues.

When Jeffries and her 32-year-old stepson Mike Jr. attempted to intervene and stop Zadora's erratic behavior, however, the actress scratched at her husband's face and even punched her stepson.

 The argument and physical fight continued on throughout the night, and several hours later, at 4:30 a.m., Zadora and Jordan "wrestled" over his cell phone as he attempted to call the police...More
