MUSIC: Did Fergie Just Deliver the Worst National Anthem Ever? + More

1. Did Fergie Just Deliver the Worst National Anthem Ever? 

FERGIE sang the national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game last night and let's just say she took the song in a pretty "unique" direction. Or, if you want to get more specific, some people are calling it the WORST national anthem EVER.

That might be a stretch, but her take definitely caught the players and fans off-guard. DRAYMOND GREEN actually LAUGHED, and JIMMY KIMMEL was spotted smiling in the crowd. 

Online reactions were even more brutal. One person accused her of trying to go "full [Amy] Winehouse" with the song. Another thought she was reaching for a "Marvin Gaye" moment.

And one guy said, quote, "Fergie owes us all an apology."

Not everyone hated it, though. During the halftime report, SHAQ said he thought it was SEXY. CHARLES BARKLEY joked that he needed a cigarette when it was over.

2. Marilyn Manson Had an Onstage Meltdown

MARILYN MANSON had an onstage meltdown during a show in Long Island this past Thursday. He was 90 minutes late starting the show, and only ended up getting through five songs before leaving the stage for good.

People who were at the show think he was WASTED. He was rambling on about wanting more love from the fans, then he did a weird, improvised spoken-word thing while the band just kept a beat going behind him.

One fan Tweeted, quote, "Marilyn Manson ended the show by dropping the mic mid-song, pushing over a speaker, and falling off stage." After he left, fans started an "[Eff] you Manson" chant. 

Check out UNCENSORED videos here and here. At the second link, skip ahead to 12:06 to watch his exit.

He's also been accused of sexual harassment! Read more here.

4. Watch Elton John Get Hit in the Face with Beads During a Show

ELTON JOHN was playing at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas last Wednesday night, but it was Mardi Gras all up in his face.

In the middle of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", someone in the audience threw a string of beads at him, and hit him right in the mouth.

In fan videos from the show, you can tell he's NOT happy about it. He stops singing and playing the piano for a bit, while the rest of the band plays on, and you can even see him mouthing an F-bomb. But he eventually rejoins the song like nothing happened.

Check out the videos here.

5. Get Ready For a William Shatner Country Album

WILLIAM SHATNER signed a deal to record a country album. And if that surprises you, then you're not a fan. He's been recording albums since the '60s. Sometimes it's a spoken word thing and sometimes he "sings."

He's even tackled rock classics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Iron Man". His deal is with Heartland Records Nashville, and they say it's "a very special project." It'll be released later this year.
