Mumford & Sons have canceled their headlining performance at the 2013 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

 The announcement comes following the hospitalization of their bassist, Ted Dwane, this week to remove a blood clot on his brain.

Mumford & Sons’ bassit, Ted Dwane, was hospitalized Monday with blood clot on brain forcing the English folk rockers to postpone several shows.

In a statement posted to its website, Mumford & Sons wrote that the multi-instrumentalist had been “feeling unwell for a few days” and was taken to a hospital where doctors found the clot. ”The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation, Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery,” wrote the group.

As a result of the operation, Mumford & Sons announced that concerts set for Dallas June 11′ Woodlands, Texas, on June 12; and New Orleans on June 13 would all be rescheduled as soon as they can.

A violin player from the orchestra on “Britain’s Got Talent” does what we all wish we could have done to Simon Cowell during his glory days on “American Idol”.  The “incident” comes near the end of this clip……….

So yeah…I bought a mini-trampoline from a Facebook yard sale page over the weekend. And I love it. But MAN! Bouncing is a LOT harder than I remember!

I’m genuinely worried about what I may break—an ankle or my neck—but am looking forward to Google-ing “mini-trampoline workouts” for…well, workouts…that I’ll NEVER do! Long live our inner 5-year olds!

Jennifer Love Hewitt is pregnant and expecting her first child with actor Brian Hallisay!

 ”We’re so thrilled and happy to start a family,” the Client List costars tell Us in a statement. A source says Hewitt is about three months along. The couple began dating 15 months ago after reconnecting on the set of their hit Lifetime show; they previously appeared on the short-lived NBC series Love Bites. 

Must be something in the water in Hollywood…..but congrats!

Based on veloctiy data from The University of Oklahoma’s RaXpol data (Rapid-scan X-band Polarimetric Radar) the El Reno tornado that hit central Oklahoma Friday (May 31, 2013) has been upgraded to an EF5 tornado, with a maximum width of 2.6 miles. This makes it the widest tornado on record in the United States.

This tornado was double the width of the EF5 Moore, Oklahoma tornado that struck less than two weeks earlier.

And this is exactly what the world needs…another Kim Kardashian!

Kimmy announced to the world yesterday that she indeed, is having a girl.

Why did “The Voice” judge Adam Levine mumble “I hate this country” during last nights episode when viewers voted off two of his contestants?

After the Twitter world blew up over his comment, he tried to clear the air, to what seemed to no avail.

How about we just apologize? Guess that’s too much to ask for.

You heard it right! But, just not slapped where you would think…

During one of B’s “Mrs. Carter Show World Tour” shows Monday in Copenhagen, Denmark; one fan got a little too close.

While performing, the singer touched the hands of her fans as she performed, but one fan took it a little too far.

During “Irreplaceable,” the singer was slapped on the butt by one overly enthusiastic fan and B was not happy about it. “I will have you escorted out right now, alright?” she told the man in footage seen on this YouTube clip below…..Whoops!
