Crazy Town vocalist Seth Binzer (aka Shifty Shellshock) was arrested for DUI on Tuesday (April 25th), a couple days after engaging in a headline-making bloody fist fight with his bandmate Bobby Reeves.

As previously reported, Binzer pummeled co-vocalist Reeves following a disastrous show in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in which Binzer failed to show up until the end of the gig. Video footage showed Binzer repeatedly punching Reeves while accusing him of stealing his money. Crazy Town were subsequently kicked off the “Nu Metal Madness Tour 2” by headliners Hed PE.

Now, TMZ has reported that the 48-year-old Binzer was detained in Myrtle Beach on Tuesday after the police received a call about a possible drunk driver in a black SUV who seemed to be falling asleep at the wheel. When officers arrived at the scene, they found Binzer at the wheel with visible signs of impairment. He was given a filed sobriety test, which indicated that he was impaired while driving. He was then arrested and taken to the Myrtle Beach jail.

Heavy Consequence accessed the police report, as prepared by Officer C.J. Contino, and it reads as follows:

“On April 25th, 2023, at approximately 1330 hours I responded to the area of 33d Ave N and Kings Kwy in reference to a possible drunk driver. A be on the lookout (BOLO) came over from North Myrtle Beach about a black in color SUV, with a California tag, traveling into the city limits of myrtle beach, supposedly, all over the road failing to maintain its lane of travel. A short time later, myrtle beach dispatch received a call about a black in color SUV, with a California tag, in the area of 82nd Pky and Kings Hwy. The caller was stating that the driver was falling asleep behind the wheel at the red light and, while driving, the vehicle was having trouble staying in its lane of travel. Officer Mackin was first to locate the vehicle when the call came in. Officer Mackin stated he observed the vehicle driving and showed signs of the driver being impaired. I spoke to the offender as he was in the driver seat at the time of the traffic stop and nobody else was in the vehicle. The offender had very lethargic movement and slurred speech. Due to the offender showing signs of impairment and officer Mackin’s observation, I asked the offender to take the standard field sobriety test (SFST). The offender stated he would take the test. At the conclusion of the test there were enough visible clues to indicate the offender was impaired while driving. He was placed under arrest for driving under the influence and he was transported to the Myrtle Beach jail.”

A description next to an accompanying mugshot (see above) describes Binzer’s blood-alcohol level and status as “less than .10, second offense.”

Binzer, who has publicly battled drug addiction on such TV shows as Celebrity Rehab and Sober House, was previously arrested last year in Los Angeles for DUI. He was also arrested in 2012 for battery and cocaine possession.

In kicking Crazy Town off the tour, Hed PE frontman Jared Gomes explained, “Seth needs help … we can’t just sit by while he’s on the road battling demons to the death.” The “Nu Metal Madness Tour 2” (minus Crazy Town) continues with Hed PE, Adema, and Tantric through a May 13th show in Garden Crove, California. Tickets are available here.

Crazy Town are best known for their 2001 No. 1 hit “Butterfly.” The music video can be seen below.

The Tories face the threat of new Partygate police probe as previously unseen footage shows staff boozing, dancing and mocking lockdown laws at the height of Covid.

A bombshell video exposes for the first time how officials joked about their lockdown rule-bending Christmas bash at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters in London.

At least 24 revellers were there and, shockingly, they include two named on ex-PM Boris Johnson’s controversial resignation honours list.

In the exclusive footage, two dancers even twirl past a sign saying “Please keep your distance”.

It will infuriate families who lost relatives in Covid and will reignite criticism of Mr Johnson just days after he was slammed for misleading MPs over parties at No10.

This knees-up was held on December 14, 2020 – as large swathes of the UK were barred from socialising indoors.

A widely seen picture of the bash formed part of a Met Police probe last year. The force had only still images to go on and found insufficient evidence of law breaking – and no fines were issued.

But the damning video throws new light on the affair and the Met says it will assess whether it could be ­material to an inquiry.

Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said: “Revellers openly mocked the rules the British people followed. The Tories think it’s one rule for them and one rule for everyone else.

“Instead of forcing them to face the consequences, Rishi Sunak has caved into Boris Johnson and chosen to reward them with honours. It’s a sickening insult.”

The party was organised by the campaign team of then London Mayor candidate Shaun Bailey – now Lord Bailey after Mr Johnson made him a peer in his honours list. Mr Bailey had left the party before the video was taken.

It features Ben Mallet – awarded an OBE in Mr Johnson’s list. Mr Mallet, filmed holding a glass of red wine and wearing festive braces, was the Tories’ campaign director for the 2021 London mayoral election.

He now runs the campaign of Moz Hossain, who wants to stand in next year’s mayoral race.

The footage shows two revellers knock over wine glasses as they spiral into a table laden with buffet food. The unsteady pair twirl each other around to the sounds of The Pogues’ Fairytale of New York.

It is the first time footage has emerged of one of the rule-breaking parties in Westminster. In the video, which shows a karaoke machine with flashing lights, partygoers joke about how they are breaking the rules.

When one man sees he is being recorded, he says: “Oh Christ.” Then another asks: “Are you filming this?” Someone else responds: “It’s for party, erm, party use.”

A man then laughs after declaring: “As long as we are not streaming that we’re, like, bending the rules.”

It was just days after the party that Mr Johnson announced even tighter restrictions which meant people in the areas worst hit by Covid could not see their loved ones over Christmas.

And the footage emerged after a dramatic week in which Partygate finally caught up with the ex-PM. In a damning report on Thursday, the Privileges Committee found he had repeatedly misled MPs over lockdown-busting gatherings.

It also accused him of being “complicit” in a “campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation” against the committee’s seven members.

The committee said Mr Johnson would have faced a 90-day suspension from Parliament if he had not resigned in anger before the publication of its report.

The Daily Mirror published a picture of the gathering in December 2021 showing staff members and volunteers in close quarters, raising glasses of wine. A buffet is seen on trestle tables around the room.

A Metropolitan Police investigation concluded last November that the “photo by itself is not sufficient evidence on which to assess that an offence had been committed”.

A spokesman for the Met said at the time: “The investigation reviewed all the material thoroughly and, after careful consideration, it was determined that there was insufficient evidence to disprove the version of events provided by attendees to a standard that would meet the threshold required.”

After the picture emerged, Mr Bailey apologised “unreservedly” for the event and resigned as chair of the London Assembly’s police and crime committee.

He tweeted: “I gave a speech to my team to thank them… it was a serious error of judgment at a time when Londoners were making immense sacrifices to keep us all safe and I regret it wholeheartedly.”

The new footage comes days after the long-awaited UK Covid-19 Inquiry began.

A Conservative Party spokesman said yesterday: “Senior CCHQ staff became aware of an unauthorised social gathering in the basement of Matthew Parker Street organised by the Bailey campaign on the evening of 14th December 2020.

“Formal disciplinary action was taken against the four CCHQ staff who were seconded to the Bailey campaign.”

A spokesman for the Shaun Bailey campaign said: “This is an old story. We repeatedly apologised for this event at the time. It was subject to a nearly year-long police investigation. The matter is closed.”

A male internet scammer known as Yahoo Boy took to social media to celebrate his first fraudulent money. The young man claimed to have received $30 from

Celebrity couple Yul Edochie and Judy Austin have continued their internet drama, leaving netizens even more confused.

Yul Edochie and Judy Austin have been trending for days after publishing a series of videos online that show their moment of verbal exchange; although some say it’s a joke and maneuver designed to grab outstanding attention and leverage it to earn money, others believe it’s genuine.

Yul is seen in a video accosting his wife, Judy, as she attempts to drive his car out.

The star, who wasn’t having it, told her to get out of his car and drive her own.

Judy Austin in turn questioned Yul on why she can’t use his car and he said it’s because their relationship isn’t as it used to be.

He later succeeded in getting Judy Austin out of his car and took his car key.

Captioning the video, he wrote:

“Judy wants to drive out with my car after saying it’s game on.

Will I allow it?

She hasn’t seen anything yet.

This is just the beginning.”

Reacting to the video, one @denim_proo wrote: “Like play like play he go turn real quarrel in Jesus name Amen.”

Muhammed Adeiza wrote: “The prank is just too clear. Sorry for those your followers who have issue with emotional feeling.”

Oge Nsimah wrote: “Did you know that Yul is still a superstar? Your insult only makes him richer… I advise you people to hold your emotions and catch a premium cruise like him #TheUncomfortableTruth Oge Nsimah”

Lawretta Buenyen wrote: “I really love the entertainment you both do sir,this really a good strategy to zip up the mouth of mean a f hateful people who speak all kinds of columnly against you both, keep up the good work and more grease to your elbow,you are blessed.”

If there’s one thing North West enjoys doing, it’s causing chaos on TikTok.

The eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian, 42, and ex-husband Kanye West, 45, took to the social media platform to share a video of herself drawing on her baby brother’s face.

“Elf on the Shelf ha ha,” North, 9, captioned the clip, which showed Psalm, 3, sleeping in a green jacket.

Using a black eyeliner from the now-defunct KKW Beauty line, North drew X’s on Psalm’s cheeks, along with a heart out his forehead and a dark circle around one of his eyes.

The funny clip was shared on Kim and North’s shared TikTok account, which is “managed by an adult” and boasts more than 11 million followers.

It wasn’t clear what character’s face the pre-teen was trying to replicate, however she added whiskers, a button nose, and a goatee to the makeup look.

The video, which was set to the tune of Dean Martin’s classic hit “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow,” ended with a shot of Psalm sleeping beside a guilty-looking Elf on the Shelf doll, who had the KKW eyeliner in its hand.

This isn’t the first time North has shown off her creative flair through wacky makeup looks.

North transformed Kim into one of the yellow cartoon characters through the magic of cosmetics amid the “Minions: The Rise of Gru” makeup trend on TikTok.

She used several palettes to turn the “Kardashians” star’s face bright yellow, before drawing on round glasses and completing the look with glittery blue lips.

For Kim’s part, she fully committed to the bit by rocking an all-denim outfit.

The budding makeup artist later turned her mom into the Grinch with a full green makeover, before pulling a prank on her with a filter that makes one’s eyebrows appear thin.

In the clip, North is seen holding a pink facial razor and rubbing it along the top of Kim’s brows while the mother of four slept.

“North, this is not funny,” Kim said.
