Lenny Kravitz’s man comes out for air in Sweden
At 51, it seems rocker Lenny Kravitz can still pull off a scene or two. The ‘Rock and Roll Is Dead’ artiste had a moment last week when his entire manhood flashed after the threads of his leather pants gave way in Stockholm, Sweden. The incident forced the artiste to go backstage, before he came back dressed in new pants.
“Sorry, I ripped my trousers,” he apologised, before the show continued. The photos had already gone viral - trending as #penisgate - by the time he came back though.
P Diddy at the BET Awards
Bad Boys Records’ twenty-year commemoration this year coincided with the BET Awards held at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, California on June 28. P Diddy led the celebrations that included artistes who have passed through the label like Lil’ Kim, Mase, Faith Evans, 112 and LOX. But the nostalgic performance that had everyone on their feet will always be remembered by the sight of the energetic P Diddy disappearing in a hole that had some minutes before delivered Lil’ Kim from the underground. Fans offered the New York rapper a hand, before he continued with the show like nothing had happened.
Madonna at the Brit Awards
The performance was set to be memorable from the onset, with the Papa Don’t Preach singer performing at the Brit Awards for the first time in 20 years. Madonna took a tumble after one of her dancers seemed to step on her cape, which was flowing a few feet behind her. The backward tumble was itself spectacular, and in the age of Twitter, it was online in seconds. The 56-year old artiste, who has sold more than 300 million records worldwide, was back on her feet in seconds, showing her stardom and quick thinking.
Jennifer Lawrence’s double tumble at the Oscars
The actress holds the record for falling at the Oscars twice, in consecutive years. On her way to receive the Best Female Actor award at the Dolby Theatre in 2013, the Silver Linings Playbook actress fell in an embarrassing moment that was blamed on her ‘voluminous white dress’. She took it light-heartedly, saying, “You guys are only standing up because I just fell and that’s really embarrassing.”
The actress was to fall a year later, on the 2014 Oscars red carpet after she failed to spot a safety cone!
Iggy Azalea at an MTV party in 2014
Love for the rapper has been waning for some time now and she is one of the most trolled and hated celebrities alive. Maybe it all started at the party, where she was performing Fancy, one of her breakout hits. The 25-year old Australian-born rapper fell off stage and the crowd could be heard gasping the moment she stepped on thin air.
The security men were quick and assisted her back on stage. She carried on like nothing had happened, only a sly smile betraying the moment.
Bieber losing food in Arizona
Justin Bieber has had a rough couple of years. From criticism over his behaviour to arrests over dangerous driving, the Canadian-singer vomited on stage at an Arizona concert in 2012. Not wanting to repeat the embarrassing moment, the singer quickly dashed off stage the moment the feeling came back.
He was to come back to complete his show and added an encore. He later tweeted, “milk was a bad choice”.
