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."
Fans 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."

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.

They start off young.
Britney Spears started performing in public at age 5, and now her niece, Maddie, may be on the same path. Maddie, 3, is daughter of Jamie Lynn, 20, Spears' younger sis. Over the weekend Britney Tweeted a vid of Maddie singing the song "Up N' Down" off of Brit's latest album, Femme Fatale. Said Brit:
"OMG! Check out my niece Maddie covering Aunt Britney's Up N Down. Sooooo adorable!"
Sings Maddie, "The beat just dropped and the room got sexy/You're watching me -- there's no one else around ... Up and down, up and down, up and down."
What do you think -- is this vid cute, or is Maddie too young to be singing that tune?
