Motley Crue Debut Fiery Stage Show for Las Vegas 'Evening in Hell' (1 photo + 1 video)

Motley Crue promised state-of-the-art pyrotechnics for their ‘An Intimate Evening in Hell’ residency at the the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and it looks like they weren’t just blowing smoke. According to preeminent rich & famous lifestyle chronicler Robin Leach, who previewed the band’s set for the Las Vegas Sun, attendees should “expect fire alarms and flashing-light warnings” for a fire-filled show that will reportedly find Tommy Lee drumming “inside a mystical symbol also set on fire” and Vince Neil singing ‘Home Sweet Home’ inside a “white-angel Liberace-esque cloak…that will be sprayed with fire retardant nightly.” Leach secured an endorsement from Vegas fixture Carrot Top, who enthused, “You can feel the heat! All of Las Vegas will know the show’s started — it’s that loud and fiery. It wasn’t just the Joint that shook from it; the entire hotel did.” “There is no show like this. There never has been, and there never will be,” Neil told Leach. “You’ve seen video fire from other rock acts on tour, but never the real thing. It’s more than any rock group has ever produced or attempted. It really is entering the depths of hell. There’s fire all around and fire coming down from above.” Neil went on to insist that fans could look forward to more than just special effects; in fact, he says the band’s set list puts him through his paces more doggedly than most. “I don’t get one break,” he explained. “We start with a song from when we began 30 years ago. We’ve reached back over the years to old hits to match up with new hits. It’s a difficult set list for me vocally — ‘Too Young to Fall in Love’ is no easy song to perform. We rehearsed the entire show in L.A., but we tested the entire set list with shows in Oklahoma and Miami. The reaction was incredible.” The band couldn’t do everything they wanted to do — Leach’s article mentions “plans for robots” that were dropped due to safety concerns, and questions whether fire marshals will allow them to attempt setting a stuntman on fire atop a blazing piano — but the end result still sounds suitably over the top. “We have the best fire tech experts in the world. This is so over the top, the only thing cool is what we do!” laughed Neil. “Basically, we’re setting everything on fire in a way that’s never been done before.” Based on the photo-filled Twitter feeds of Leach and Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, it looks like everybody had fun and avoided the emergency room. The first fan video from the show has now turned up, too — you can check that out below. ‘An Intimate Evening in Hell’ is scheduled to run from Sept. 18 through Oct. 6.

Taylor Swift Has New Hairstyle at 'Romeo + Juliet' Premiere [PHOTOS] (4 photo)

Taylor Swift has been sporting impecabbly styled dishwater blond hair with bangs for a while now. But the starlet mixed it up for the red carpet premiere of ‘Romeo + Juliet.’ What’s her new look like? She’s still got the solid blond, which unfortunately looks almost green in certain lighting and doesn’t do her much justice. She also still has bangs … but with a twist! Swift swept her bangs to the side for the event. The result was some what mixed. On the bright side, you can see the ‘Love Story’ singer’s bright blue eyes a lot better, and the sidesweep accentuates her cheekbones as well. On the negative side, well, they’re simply too short to sweep effectively, and it just looks like she’s stuck in an awkward growing out phase, especially because of the wispy flyaways on the left side of her face. We’re not having a ‘Love Story’ with this style, but hopefully it’s a hint at a return to her once-signature curls. We miss them!

10 Hilarious Donna Meagle Reaction GIFs From Parks And Recreation (11 photo)

Retta's Donna Meagle makes the UPROXX Spirit Animal Power Rankings for a number of reasons: self-confidence, tell-it-like-it-is-atude, and -- most importantly -- scene-stealing lines everyone should use on a daily basis. And with us conducting a week long Parks and Recreation countdown it only seems fitting to kick things off with a reminder of how much more spectacularly badass we'd all be in real life (or at least on the internet) if we all borrowed from Donna Meagle on the reg.

Chicago Couple Have Sex While Driving (1 photo + 1 video)

The likes of Aldon Smith are DMV instructors compared to the two drivers in the video below, one of whom is having sex with a lady while driving and the other who’s filming the entire performance. It takes a certain amount of skill, and a lot of dumb luck, to get away with driver’s seat missionary position while speeding through Chicago at 50 MPH, and even more talent to narrate the footage with, “I wanna get her bouncing again.” “Dying after crashing into a tree while having car loving” is a form of a “safe sex,” right?

15 Inspiring Quotes From Your Favorite Childhood Authors (15 photo)

Now that you are all grown up, and stressing out about paying your bills, wondering whether or not this is really all that life is, and that rather distressing throbbing sensation coming from the general vicinity of where you think your kidneys are, you probably think that the books from your childhood hold nothing for you. That would be an unfortunate mistake to make. Words from the people who wrote the books we loved as children still hold plenty of meaning. Here are quotes from some of your favorite childhood authors (from works or interviews) that we think are still relevant.

Louisiana Fourth Graders Learn About Pimps in Their Homework (2 photo)

You might not think that students learning about the various uses of the word “twister” would get an indirect lesson in prostitution, but some fourth graders in Louisiana are receiving just such an education. Brittney Badeaux, the mother of a 9-year-old student at Eaton Park Elementary School in Southern Louisiana’s Vermilion Parish, was quite surprised when her son brought home a school worksheet describing a song by the hip-hop artist Twista called ‘Po Pimp.’ Badeaux sent a copy of the worksheet to the radio station KPEL in nearby Lafayette, writing beneath the Twista item, “Is this really appropriate for a 9 year old! Would you like to explain what a pimp is to my son?? I’m not happy about this.”

Dairy Queen Employee's Act of Extreme Generosity Makes Him a True Hero (1 photo)

A Dairy Queen employee has scored some serious points for his customer service skills. Joey Prusak, 19, was working at a Hopkins, Minnesota Dairy Queen earlier this month when he came to the aid of a blind customer after another customer took a $20 bill the blind man dropped. The blind customer dropped the bill while he pulled out his ATM card and the other customer picked up the money and put it in her purse. That’s when Prusak sprang into action: “I told her ‘Ma’am, you can either return the $20 bill or you can leave the store, because I’m not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you.’” The woman did exit the store, but didn’t return the cash, so Prusak took his good deed to a whole other level when he took $20 from his own pocket and handed it to the blind man. The whole thing may have been forgotten had it not been for yet another customer who witnessed the scene and wrote an email to Prusak’s manager praising him. The email has gone viral and Prusak has become a hero to people across the nation. Business at the store is now booming, while Prusak has gotten job offers and has received big tips. Still, he’s not getting a big head because of all the attention he’s receiving for his good deed. He said, “I did it without even really thinking about it….Ninety-nine out of 100 people would’ve done the same thing as me.” Prusak, who’s worked at this Dairy Queen since he was 14, plans to save money to study business management. Looks like he’s on the right track.

14 First World Problems Created By iOS 7 (5 photo)

Whether you’re an iPhone fan or not, you’re probably well aware iOS 7 was released yesterday. For all non-users, this basically means the phone’s software was amped up a bit, which sounds like it’d be totally cool, but as soon as people could download it, Twitter exploded with complaints. Let us clarify– by “complaints” we actually mean “first world problems.” But seriously, it’s rough when iOS 7 suddenly gives you a Paula Abdul documentary on your phone! Ughhh. Check out more of the iPhone struggles below.

The Funniest and Most Absurd Voicemail Videos on the Internet (1 photo + 7 video)

When you leave a crazy voicemail, there’s a chance the recipient is going to make a video of it and put it on YouTube. This is why we stick to texting. Fortunately, these people didn’t, and we can laugh at their folly. Inspired by the hilarity of that classic (on the internet) voicemail a man left as he witnessed a car accident, we thought why not go ahead and curate more voicemail videos and put them in one place, so people could enjoy them without ending up on the weird part of YouTube.

Mom Sells Disobedient Daughter's One Direction Tickets on eBay (2 photo)

If you want to teach your teenage daughter a lesson, why not deprive them the one thing they crave most? Proximity to the dulcet tones of One Direction. A woman in Australia decided to go on eBay to sell four tickets to a One Direction show that were initially intended for her daughter because the girl, well…misbehaved might be a delicate way to put it. Read the description for yourself to hear all the rage. You can practically see the steam coming out of the mother’s keyboard as she wrote this:

Vintage Flying Cars You'll Wish Really Existed (6 photo + 1 video)

We love ‘Air Drive’ a cool little photo series by French photographer Renaud Marion. Like many of us, he was excited by the possibility of whizzing around his local area in some form of flying vehicle. Afterall, that’s what we’ve all been promised in countless movies, novels and TV shows isn’t it? Even as far back as 1900! Many referenced the year 2000 as being the era that would usher in a new waves of transportation. And how could you forget those futuristic hoverboards from Back To The Future?

Hear Pre-Led Zeppelin P.J. Proby Album (1 photo + 3 video)

In 1969, long before Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham inspired Wayne’s World signs and shoved sharks up women’s vaginas, hell, even before they went by Led Zeppelin, they played on P.J. Proby’s largely forgotten country-blues album, Three Week Hero. Proby, a music industry legend who had a number of hits in the U.K. but is most remembered for the “pants-splitting incident” in the States, signed the then-New Yardbirds foursome to a two-day recording contract, likley beginning on August 25th, 1968. According to Dangerous Minds, that date marked “the very first time that Led Zeppelin would enter a recording studio together.” You can read more about the sessions here, or just listen to the great “The Day That Lorraine Came Down” below.

Signs the Pumpkin Spice Craze Has Gone Too Far (9 photo)

Like it or not, fall is here, (pretty much, let’s not get technical about it, okay?). We all know what that means — hot apple cider, digging out your sweaters from the back of the closet, and people going on and on about how much they love pumpkin spice lattes. It was only so long before the market responded, and now are subjected to an onslaught of pumpkin spice-flavored crap so extreme, we think things have gotten a tad out of hand. Here are just a few examples that the fad has gone too far.

NASA Captures Epic 'Frog Photo' During Spacecraft Launch (2 photo)

NASA is noted for its incredible photography of space, earth and our farthest reaches of the known Universe. They’re less known for Photobombing. But that’s exactly what happened on Sept 7th when the Lunar Atmosphere & Dust Environment Explorer (known as LADEE) was launched into the stars above. During a photograph of its launch, the NASA team amazingly captured a small frog in amongst the furore. It was either innocently sitting on the shuttle itself or on the ground nearby – either way it must have had quite a shock! The result is a tiny silhouette of a frog being blasted some 30ft in the air, engulfed in smokey exhaust of the shuttle. NASA has since confirmed the image is in fact real (no Photoshopping of Kermit going on here) before awkwardly adding “the condition of the frog, however, is uncertain.”

Must-See Freaky Faces Made From Designer Clothes (11 photo)

When it comes to the majority of our clothes, we wear them, clean them, fold them and store them. And we repeat this cycle until they are too outdated too worn to wear – we seldom actually have fun with our clothes. The same, however, cannot be said for Austrian photographer Bela Borsodi. From her private New York studio, she’s unleashed a selection of freakish faces, formed and folded entirely from fashionable clothes. Titled ‘Fashion Faces’ she’s taken designer jeans, jackets, shirts and sweaters and contorted them into unusual & somewhat grumpy faces. Even more impressive that her origami-esque skills is the fact she did all this without a single drop of glue or pair of scissors being needed. Her only tools were a vivid imagination, buckets of clothes and lots of trial and error. The result? Your laundry never looked so…..lifelike!

Infographic: The Truth About How Beer Saved The World (1 photo)

It might sound slightly ludicrous, but if you were one of the Egyptian builders working on the Pyramids in 1600 BC, your daily wage wasn’t in the form of currency – but 1 gallon of beer. In retrospect, that sounds like a good deal right? Although having a hangover of epic proportions, whilst attempting to build one of the Seven Wonders Of The World in the scorching sun probably wasn’t the smartest move. Another example of beer fandom amongst the annuals of history, takes us across to the United States. The founding fathers of America, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams & Ben Franklin aside from being astute & visionary individuals, were also all brewers and avid drinkers of beer. In fact it was over several beers at their local tavern that they decided to start the revolution. Did several the jugs of malt & hops single-handedly cause them to rise up in the name of liberty for the common man? Probably not, but there’s no denying it helped the cause along that night. Those are just a few of the interesting tidbits from the ‘Beer Saved The World’ infographic below, you’ll find many more facts, figures and trivia as you scroll down. So next time you relaxing with a beer in your hand enjoying those hops, just think, without them the world could be a very very different place right now.

Phenomenal Footage Of Dancer Battling With Light (3 photo)

There’s few dance videos quite as breathtaking as ‘Nuance’. Created by Marc-Antoine Locatelli it’s the near perfect blend of choreography, motion graphics and jaw-dropping imagery a combination which rarely works together as a whole. But here the effect are simply astounding. The monochrome film sees gifted dancer Lucas Boirat earnestly trying to battle countless geometric shards of light against a backdrop of darkness. Turn out the lights, turn up the speakers and prepare to be amazed.

JURASSIC WORLD - Concept Trailer For Cancelled Game (1 photo + 1 video)

Yesterday it was announced that Jurassic Park 4 would be called Jurassic World. Today there's some kind of pitch trailer for the film that has hit the internet. Some people are saying it's for the movie, others are saying it's for a cancelled video game. Producer Frank Marshall clarified things on his twitter account, saying that this isn't part of the film, but it's still a fun watch! The special effects aren't the best, and it looks like one of those laughable Asylum movies. Here's a note from the guy who posted the video,
