Twogging is the new thing. At least according to a new viral video, in which people attempt to Twerk along with their dogs … who look straight up confused. Twogging Yes. Not everyone is content emulating Miley Cyrus Twerking at the VMAs or reenacting Rihanna “Pour It Up” video . Some have to get their pets involved. Apparently #twogging is the act of twerking on or around your four-legged friend (or anyone’s dog, for that matter), as seen in the video compilation above. We can’t decide if this is hilarious, weird or just wrong. In any case, please don’t go twogging on a stranger’s pet at the dog park, though that could become a viral video in itself once you get your a$$ whomped. The more you know.
Fiona Apple is always one to keep things interesting. The singer never mails in a live performance, but you also never know just what you’re going to see. Case in point? She impressed Monday night at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A., yet still managed to shock audience members with her outspoken nature. Fiona Apple Heckled Near the end of the show, she ignored a heckler shouting out song requests, acknowledging that we all have things we want to get off our chests at times. She proceeded to explain that years ago, her father, actor Brandon Maggart, got a bad review from film critic Rex Reed, who misspelled Maggart’s name. That was only the start of it. Apparently he also “f–ked with people and how they looked.” She continued, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.” “Daddy, this is for you. Rex Reed: you’re a c–t.” Well, there you have that, ladies and gentlemen. Apple is famous for her erratic performances. Just last week, in Portland, Ore., a fan shouted, “Fiona! Get healthy! We want to see you in 10 years!” She reportedly screamed at the fan and “sobbed” through her next song. Apple also walked off stage at a Louis Vuitton event in August, yelling “predictable fashion!” In 2012, Fiona Apple was arrested in Texas for marijuana possession, which she then discussed on stage in one of the weirdest rants of all time. She’s a character!
Guitar player Phil Chevron of the Pogues has passed away at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer, the band said in a statement Tuesday. Chevron (real name was Philip Ryan) was a core member of the Anglo-Irish folk-punk group that made its international name in the 1980s and early 1990s. “He was unique. We’ll miss him terribly. Dublin town, and the world, just got smaller,” the Pogues said in a statement on their website earlier today. “His loved ones are in our thoughts.” Chevron, who was born in Dublin, started out with the Irish act The Radiators From Space, which has been described as Ireland’s first punk band. He moved to London where he joined the Pogues, fronted by fellow Irishman Shane MacGowan. He played banjo and mandolin and sang as well. Chevron stayed with the Pogues after MacGowan left in 1991 and was replaced by Joe Strummer, ex-frontman of The Clash. The band split up in 1996. He later reformed the Radiators with ex-Pogues bassist Cait O’Riordan. When the Pogues reformed in 2001 and interest in them revived, Chevron remastered the band’s back catalogue on CD and took a big role in their reunion tours. He was diagnosed with head and neck cancer in 2007 and was given a clean bill of health in April 2012 but the cancer returned. May he rest in peace.
