Vedder Judgement<\/h2>\n

Eddie Vedder<\/strong> is making national headlines for comments he made during Pearl Jam\u2019s<\/strong> concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena<\/strong> on Saturday. The band\u2019s singer used his spotlight there to attack Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker for the commencement speech he gave at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan. on May 11.<\/p>\n

During the speech, widely derided for its sexism and homophobia, Butker attacked Pride Month and shared his belief that women belong in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe irony was that when he was saying that, he looked like such a fucking pussy,\u201d Vedder said as his audience erupted in applause. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing more masculine than a strong man supporting a strong woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are You Gonna Go His Way?<\/h2>\n

Lenny Kravitz<\/strong> announced a fall mini-residency at the Park MGM<\/strong> on Monday. Titled \u201cBlue Electric Light,\u201d after the musician\u2019s upcoming 12th studio album, the limited engagement will run October 18, 19, 23, 25, and 26 at Dolby Live. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, May 24 through Live Nation and Ticketmaster. A fan presale will be held starting at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 22, and Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and MGM Rewards presales will start at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
