Kansas City, sometimes you make me sad.…

Eminem and Rihanna's 'Love the Way You Lie' gets the Westboro Baptist Church treatment

Elke Mermis — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 06:30:41 -0600

Oh, man. Megan Phelps-Roper never seems to get tired of pop songs, does she?
The daughter of the Westboro Baptist Church's Fred Phelps is at it again -- but this time, she's impersonating Eminem, not Gaga. And she's got some kid on the church's compound doing a really, really awful impression of the duo's hit "Love the Way You Lie."

Are you going to see Ke$ha? Expect lap dances

Elke Mermis — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 09:24:45 -0600

Ke$ha will give the girls at Bazooka's a run for their money on Sunday night at the Midland. According to Spin, here's what KC can expect from the pop tart's sold-out show:

The 23-year-old comic-provocateur-musician gave the tween-filled crowd wall-to-wall electro-dance jams, costume changes, fake blood, 8-foot penises, and two tons of glitter -- not to mention a generous amount of lovingly applied baby oil.…

Yo, man, you got that Four Loko?

NBC New York reports on the thriving black market (read: Craigslist) for cans of Four Loko that predate the FDA's caffeine-additive ban. Leave it to an enterprising group of frat guys to profit from a market inefficiency created by the regulation of a company started by frat guys.…

Pretend you are Gwyneth Paltrow or Tim McGraw in the Country Strong singing contest!

David Hudnall — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:53:21 -0600

If you've watched the right TV channels or been to a movie theater lately, you might have seen a preview for Country Strong, an upcoming movie where Gwyneth Paltrow plays a down-and-out country singer. It's like Crazy Heart, except it's about a woman, the script is bad, and the actors give you secondhand embarrassment.…

Will Four Loko fuck you up? [Updated]

Elke Mermis — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 11:17:15 -0600

Let's get one thing clear: unlike these fine gentlemen, we at The Pitch are not loco for Four Loko. Following the hospitalizations of college students, the two-dollar, twelve-percent alcohol drinks -- they're a noxious mix of Sparks and sippin' syrup that are roughly equivalent to four beers in one can -- have been outlawed in New York, Washington, Utah, Oklahoma, and Michigan, and the Feds are making the move to ban them entirely; but, they're still sitting on the shelves in your local liquor store, just begging to be cracked open.…

Kenny G, who I hate with the white-hot fury of one thousand suns, will be appearing at the Midland, just in time for the most obnoxious holiday on the planet. (Christmas.)

The dark times are upon us.…

Bret Michaels' naked photo shoot seems unnecessary and weird

David Hudnall — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 13:06:08 -0500

This month, he appears in the nude on the cover of Billboard, a magazine that apparently still exists? It's part of Billboard's "Maximum Exposure" issue, which lists the "100 best ways to get your music seen and heard."…

Violent J from Insane Clown Posse: the highlights

Elke Mermis — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 13:45:28 -0500
