Strip Club DJ Won't Play Dude's Request, So He Insists with an AK-47

It was a fairly normal night at the Purple Orchid Gentleman's Club in Philadelphia.  Or it was until the DJ refused to play a request by one Henry Pettigrew.  Annoyed at the snub, Pettigrew returned with an AK-47 and began shooting up the place.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.  Pettigrew remains on the run and Philly cops are requesting the public's help. And no, it hasn't been reported which song he requested.

If You Party With Bieber, Keep Your Mouth Shut or You Owe Him $5 Million

"Shut UP! I'm serious, dude!"From Newser. Jeezus.

If you aspire to attend a party at Justin Bieber's house, first you'll have to score an invitation ... and then you'll have to sign a Liability Waiver and Release. TMZ got a copy of the fairly insane document, which says that if you tweet, blog, text message, or otherwise talk about the party in any way, shape, or form, you owe the Biebs $5 million.

Not only can you not discuss the party; you're also not allowed to discuss the other guests' health or philosophical and/or spiritual views. Yep, it specifically says that.

Could This Be the Weirdest Nightclub Ever?

I've heard of super-exclusive pop-up clubs before, but never one located in--wait for it--a water tower on the top of a building in New York.  From the New York Times:

A trapdoor in the water tower opened when the guests approached. Thumping live music, candlelight, chatter and the sound of clinking glasses emerged, as well as a helping hand.

Inside was a round wooden space no bigger than a freight elevator, filled with about a dozen people sipping whiskey cocktails. Couples sat at five petite tables built into the cedar paneling. A young woman mixed drinks behind a bar. Above people’s heads, a two-man band — accordion and upright bass — serenaded from a platform.

But amid the revelry, the staff communicated using headsets, checking that the operation remained unnoticed outside. In the event that the police did arrive, several exit routes were planned. This was life inside the Night Heron, a decidedly illegal nightclub run by a group of adventure-minded artists in a water tower atop a vacant building in Chelsea for eight weekends in March, April and May.

Whoops.  Cover blown.  Read more here.

Rapper May Have Faked Death to Avoid Paying Back Debt in Scam

Tim Dog (aka Timothy Blair) hasn't been seen in a while and it was assummed (by some) that he had met some kind of untimely end.  Or did he?  From Exclaim!

Following last week's allegations that rapper Tim Dog (aka Timothy Blair) faked his own death to avoid repaying victims of an online scam he ran, a Mississippi judge has issued an arrest warrant for the supposedly dead artist. 

Memphis, TN's WREG reports that Desoto County, MS prosecutor Steven Jubera, who had convicted Blair in 2011 on a grand larceny charge, filed a petition to have the rapper's probation revoked yesterday (May 21), which led to the warrant. His suspicions were aroused due to the lack of hard evidence behind the rapper's alleged death last February over complications from diabetes.
