Big Hassle

So much for brotherly love.

The Kings of Leon have canceled the rest of their U.S. tour after an incident Friday involving frontman Caleb Followill. Said a rep for the "Sex on Fire" rockers on Monday:

    "We are so sorry to say ... [cancellation is] due to Caleb Followill suffering from vocal issues and exhaustion. The band is devastated, but in order to give their fans the shows they deserve, they need to take this break."


calebfollowill230leon.jpgFans will be refunded their money. Band member Jared, also Caleb's brother, Tweeted of the cancellation, "Utterly depressed. It's completely out of my hands. Family has to come 1st."

On Friday, the group cut a show in Dallas short after Caleb (left) walked off stage in the middle of the show. "I'm gonna go backstage for a second and I'm gonna vomit," Caleb told the crowd -- but he never returned.

Caleb's brothers Jared and Nathan apologized to the audience, saying Caleb was "unfit" to finish the show. "It's really not our fault, it's Caleb," they said.

But while Caleb may have been ill for one reason or another, there also seem to be more major problems within the band of brothers. Jared Tweeted on Friday and Saturday:

    "There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words. ... I can't lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade."

Lindsay Lohan Gets Interviewed By A Raunchy Puppet

Posted on Mon Aug 1st, 2011 1:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff



Here's one way to avoid doing a hard-hitting interview.

Lindsay Lohan sat down for "On the Skycouch with Rico," a cute ad series for Air New Zealand.

Apparently when you're a furry, fanged creature, you can get away with saying a lot more than a normal journalist, because Rico threw a number of digs Lilo's way ... and she took all of them with a giggle!

Rico wanted to know about Linds' life in front of the cameras. Commenting on the paparazzi, the puppet said:

    "They get you everywhere! They're taking pictures of you shopping and eating. Kissing lady friends. Anyway ..."


As if that wasn't below the belt enough, Rico gifted Lindsay with jewelry from New Zealand and quipped, "Don't worry, they're all paid for."

The above video teaches us many things, including that you can make fun of Lindsay if you closely resemble Fozzy the Bear and that Rico is the king of the double entendre.

Lindsay's not the only one who's been hypnotized by Rico. See who else has hit the air couch ... after the jump.
