Maroon 5′s Adam Levine Says ‘F*ck You’ To The MTV VMAs

"every once in a while the angsty teenager in me just blurts out some raw honesty"
Posted by: Trent on August 28, 2011| 38 Comments

Last night, one day before the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards airs live on MTV tonight, Maroon 5 frontman and The Voice judge Adam Levine took to his official Twitter profile to publicly denounce the VMAs. In an effort to release some “angsty teenager … raw honesty”, Levine blasted MTV for not genuinely caring about music telling the VMAs that they can “fuck” off. This rant seems a bit odd considering that Maroon 5 won an MTV Video Music Award back in 2004, a fact that MTV cheekily reminded Levine of in response to his Twitter rant yesterday. More »

MIGHTY deadMAU5

Posted by: Trent on August 28, 2011| 6 Comments

After much recuperating yesterday afternoon/evening, I finally managed to rally enough to get out of the house last night. I met up with Emma and Josh and Emma’s mom and her boyfriend for a late dinner at Upper West in Santa Monica, CA to help Josh celebrate the end of a very successful play run. Josh’s play Blood Wedding ends this weekend and, by all accounts, he has been hailed as THE star of the show … so we were happy to toast to his success last night. After dinner, at around midnight, I made my way to the Hollywood Palladium to see superstar DJ Deadmau5 live in concert. I have to say, I went to the show without any expectations and ended up leaving completely WOWed! It was a great show, no question. Click below to see some photos and video from last night’s performance. More »
