Every week there’s a bunch of music-related stories, links, videos and other internet goodies that are a little on the trashy side, but for whatever reason get everyone in the office talking.
This is what the Tone Deaf Trash Can is all about: it’s our avenue for sharing the funniest, weirdest and downright tackiest music stories of the week to help you keep up to date with the best (and worst) things happening in pop culture. Don’t feel guilty – you’re allowed to enjoy it.
Rapper Action Bronson Casually Visits The Crapper Mid-Performance
The bladder can be a cruel and unforgiving organ, and as Fergie learned the hard way, just because you’re performing live doesn’t mean you’ll be immune from its demands.
Action Bronson experienced this over the weekend at Ottawa Festival, but again, unlike Fergie, he managed to find harmonious equilibrium between his bladder and his performing duties.
As shown in the fan-captured footage, Bronson nonchalantly walks off stage during his performance of ‘Shiraz’ to spray the hose in a nearby Port-A-Potty, and in a show of stunning multitasking, continues to rap on-point until his leak runs dry.
But, as Consequence Of Sound kindly point out, this isn’t even the first time the extra-large rapper has pulled this stunt.
Watch the video below, it’s quite the pisser. (Sorry not sorry.)
Luckily it was only a number one, but m8, wash your hands.
Kyle Sandilands Vomits Live On Air, Is Probably The Best Thing To Ever Come Out His Mouth
This week Action Bronson lookalike and walking sack of human faeces Kyle Sandilands produced the most intelligent sound byte of his gross radio career, vomiting live on air as his imprisoned KIIS FM parter-in-crime, Jackie O, watched and listened on in horror.
As we can now closely analyse thanks to video footage captured by their studio cameras, the urge to vom seemingly hits Sandilands like a tonne of bricks, almost as if he’s just made the realisation for the first time that he is Kyle Sandilands.
It’s all over quite quickly, but not before he lets out a succession of seriously squelching belches that sound like the cries of the satanic demon living inside of him.
Really though, when your entire career is based on bottom-of-the-barrel, bile-inducing stunts, you’re not ‘gonna be able to hold it down forever.
Funny, because that’s the exact same thing my body does whenever I hear his voice. Lol! How does that medicine taste, Sandilands?
Rihanna Flashed The World Cup, Met Actual World Cup, Won The World Cup
For the last month or so, the entire planet has invested most of its emotions in a game about a round ball, but it seems like no other celebrity was into the World Cup quite as much as Germany’s #1 fan, badgirlriri Rihanna.
Not only did she basically live-tweet the entire tournament, but she was so passionate about her beloved German team that she treated the 100,000-strong crowd to a sight of what’s under her umbrella jersey.
Naturally the German homeboys caught wind of one of the world’s biggest pop stars fawning over them, and kindly invited their diehard supporter to their post-Final victory party where everyone proceeded to pour it up.
They brought me the cup!!! I love these guys!!! Congratulations!!!! pic.twitter.com/6K9sr56uHt

Kreayshawn Got Catfished By A Fake Diplo For Three Years
Since officially becoming the biggest one hit wonder in the record books after her debut album set the worst first week sales of any signed major label artist, Kreayshawn has somewhat disappeared from the pop culture radar.
Nowadays she’s stopped singing about Gucci/Louis/Fendi/Prada, and now she’s the proud mama of her 10-month-old baby boy, Desmond. Oh, and she also got srsly catfished.
As the rapper explains herself in the below vlog, she apparently spent three years developing a close online friendship with who she thought was Mad Decent head honcho, Diplo. Their internet relationship seemed pretty legit – namely, they only spoke over email, and ‘Diplo’ would frequently ask her to send #sxc pics in exchange for encouraging words of advice about her music. Not fishy at all.
Poor Kreay-Kreay only made the realisation she’d been fooled the entire time this week when she Twitter DM’d the real Diplo a screenshot of her emails with the fake Diplo, and obviously the real one had no idea what she was talking about.
But before you go h8ing on her, she does get props for having a laugh about the whole thing. As she puts it herself, “End of the day, that is a fuckin’ weird story… I am an idiot”.
Paris Hilton’s New Song Is Your New Favourite Hate-Watch Video Of The Week
She might’ve been overthrown by her understudy Kim Kardashian, but singer/songwriter/DJ/model/small dog ambassador Paris Hilton will always be #relevant in the Trash Can.
P-Hilt has just released a brand new single, the long-awaited followup to her eternal breakout anthem ‘Stars Are Blind’ and last year’s Grammy-snubbed masterpiece, ‘Drunk Text’.
The artist’s latest cut is called ‘Come Alive’, and as she explained to E!, it’s about “love and how it makes you feel alive”. Which is why it’s called ‘Come Alive’, in case you can’t connect those high-concept dots.
Importantly, the accompanying video is a stunning visual match for Hilton’s breathtakingly natural vocals. As Hilton put it, “when I was coming up with the concept for the music video, I wanted it to be something that was very magical, ethereal, just very fantasy like, that’s why I wanted to have a unicorn in it because I just think they’re such beautiful, magical creatures.”
Unicorns: also the only thing as real as Hilton’s talent. :’)
