1. Marilyn Manson collapses on stage

It's generally treated as cause for alarm when a person begins compulsively vomiting — but when Marilyn Manson vomited and collapsed on stage during a concert in Saskatoon, friends and fans alike thought it was just part of his show. Gawker reports that Manson's band "initially thought Manson was faking it and played on" — in their defense, vomiting and collapsing would be a totally Marilyn Manson thing to do — before realizing that he was actually in distress. Fortunately, Manson is only battling "various flu symptoms," and plans to continue bringing his distinctive brand of music across the Great White North, where we hope he only vomits and collapses on purpose.
