Kanye West Glastonbury Performance was INTERRUPTED by a Heckler!
Kanye West had a weekend of highs and lows as he took his "Yeezus" set overseas to headline the Glastonbury Music Festival. Before Kanye hit the Pyramid Stage, his presence at the festival had already ruffled feathers.
The Daily Mail reports that 134k music lovers signed a petition to hve his headline act cancelled. GASP! Music snobs were apparently upset that hip-hop had taken over the main stage and pushed other genres (the whole point of the festival) to the background. Or it COULD have just been the choice of hip hop act--Kanye himself.
One music fan crashed Kanye West's Pyramid stage performance! Luckily, security dragged him off stage, but Kanye was visibly annoyed. Shockingly, we've learned the stunt was actually premeditated as the heckler, comedian named Lee Nelson, tweeted this pic BEFORE the stunt.
WATCH:
Hmm....maybe celebrities should have their security teams scan social media before their clients hit the stage....just in case.

NYC's LGBTQ Community came out to celebrate PRIDE in BIG fashion!
NYC Pride hosted its annual Pride Rally with a euphoric crowd of thousands celebrating beneath a rainbow-illuminated One World Trade Center.

The first NYC Pride Rally occurred one month after the Stonewall Riots in June 1969, when 500 people gathered for a “Gay Power” demonstration in Washington Square Park followed by a candlelight vigil in Sheridan Square.
Following the Supreme Court’s momentous decision, NYC Pride released a statement that thanked “the countless activists who have worked so tirelessly to make this dream a reality” while stating that the landmark decision represented “a great step forward in our fight—a fight that is not over until equality and justice under the law are achieved for all.”
Earlier in the evening, celebrants gathered for a rally in front of the Stonewall Inn, where NYC Pride began. Throughout its history, NYC Pride has hosted the Rally in various locations throughout the city, including Central Park and Bryant Park.
Now hosted at Hudson River Park’s Pier 26, this year’s NYC Pride Rally featured a cavalcade of LGBT speakers and entertainers introduced by the evening’s host, Titus Burgess. The scene-stealing Burgess has been featured in the Emmy-winning NBC series, 30 Rock, as well as Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix.
Hailing from Uganda where homosexuality is “illegal,” Grand Marshal Kasha Nabagesera spoke with powerful eloquence about the state of LGBT life in her home country and the pressing need for global support for LGBT Ugandans, urging people to follow the pursuit for equality at Kuchu Times.
The evening also included an incendiary performance by Adore Delano, a breakout star of RuPaul's Drag Race and American Idol, who rocked the pier with her hit songs “I Adore U” and “Give Me Tonight.”
Radio personality and nightlife star Dina Delicious delighted the crowd with her quirky charm while singing “Tick Tick Trick,” the hit record she introduced at last year’s Life Ball in Vienna.
A crowd favorite, singer-songwriter Steve Grand worked the stage with a massive rainbow flag while singing a joyful and romantic set that included “All-American Boy,” the hit song that went viral on YouTube and crowned Grand the first openly gay male country musician to attract mainstream adulation. With a body as beautiful as the heart within, Grand possesses a hopeful optimism that nicely complemented the evening’s heady mix of promise and joy.
As NYC Pride stated, “the dream of marriage equality has been a goal of millions of LGBT and ally Americans since before the Stonewall Riots gave rise to our movement”—and this year’s NYC Pride “will go down in the history books.”
Lindsay Lohan Livens Up Jeremy Scott’s i-D 35 Moschino Soiree
Never one to miss out on a swanky shindig, Lindsay Lohan got dressed up in a black frock with a colorful statement jacket for i-D’s Moschino party celebrating i-D Magazine’s 35th anniversary.
Joined by Moschino mastermind Jeremy Scott, the “Georgia Rule” actress meandered around the fancy Il Bottaccio restaurant and met up with a few gal pals throughout the evening.
And it sounds like LiLo loves London so much that she’s thinking about putting down roots. She told Hello magazine, “I can definitely see myself settling in London permanently. I'm in a really good place. I'm blessed to have been able to do a play in London and start a different way of life. New York is very fast paced and it's not like that over here for me. You grow up and change, and I'm really happy about that, as overall I feel a lot better. Moving here was a new start for me and my outlook on life is different now. For me, I feel more comfortable working from London.”

Ava DuVernay Stokes ‘Black Panther’ Reports With Tweet about Bree Newsome
“Selma” director says she would make movie about woman who pulled down Confederate flag
Ava DuVernay says she wants to direct a movie about a black superhero–but she’s not talking about “Black Panther.”
The “Selma” director tweeted that she wants to direct a movie about a more recent black “superhero” named Bree Newsome. Newsome was arrested early Saturday for climbing a thirty foot flagpole outside the South Carolina statehouse and taking down the Confederate flag.
“Yes. I hope I get the call to direct the motion picture about a black superhero I admire. Her name is @BreeNewsome,” DuVernay wrote.
DuVernay was being courted by Marvel by direct one of its upcoming comic adaptations. Many speculated that she was to direct a film version of “Black Panther,” about an African superhero from the fictional nation of Wakanda. The film will star Chadwick Boseman and is due out in July 2018.
A woman has never directed a Marvel movie, though the company did hire Patty Jenkins to direct “Thor: The Dark World.” Following creative differences, she was eventually replaced by Alan Taylor. Jenkins recently replaced Michelle MacLaren as the director of “Wonder Woman” at Warner Bros., which has been eager to beat Marvel to the proverbial punch when it comes to diversity within its comic book movie universe.

The NY Fugitives ONE DEAD, The other CAPTURED!
Escaped murderer David Sweat has been shot and is in custody, multiple law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation Sunday.
He was shot twice in a field by a New York state trooper, a law enforcement source said. Sweat was taken into custody in upstate New York, close to the Canadian border.
He was transported to the Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone, an officer at the hospital told CNN. His condition was not immediately clear.
No law enforcement officers were injured during his apprehension.
The arrest wraps up a more than three-week hunt for Sweat and his prison-break partner, Richard Matt. Matt was shot dead Friday.
Sweat was imprisoned at the Clinton Correctional Facility for shooting dead an officer who pursued him after a robbery he committed.
Behind bars, Sweat and Matt cozied up to a prison tailor and a guard who allegedly brought them tools, which they used to cut their way through a labyrinth of multiple barriers and underground passageways. They emerged to freedom through a manhole in the middle of a street.
Guards discovered them missing on June 6, during a routine bed check.
Law enforcement experts stressed Sunday that it's crucial Sweat survive so that officials can learn exactly how he and Matt escaped, and who helped them.
Search teams like the ones looking for Sweat routinely include highly trained medics who could immediately begin to treat a gunshot wound, former Navy SEAL Jonathan Gilliam told CNN as the news of Sweat's shooting broke.
"I'm sure he's getting critical care very rapidly," he said. Earlier, about 1,300 federal, state and local law enforcement officers were searching vehicles at roadblocks and scouring dense woods in upstate New York for Sweat.
Since he and Matt broke out of the maximum security prison in Dannemora together -- and appeared to stick together on their flight from the law -- authorities were hopeful they could be right on Sweat's heels after encountering Matt.
Searchers had at times followed two sets of footprints, but when they gunned Matt down one day after his 49th birthday, there was no sign of Sweat nearby.
So, on all-terrain vehicles and in helicopters, they continued looking for the man who eluded them for three weeks, using infrared vision devices to peer through the night.
That search was focused on an area along New York's State Route 30 between County Route 41 in the town of Malone and County Route 26 in the town of Duane, state police said.
