I’ve never heard of rapper “Pitbull,” but he’s all over the interwebs today thanks to this video of him punching a fan square in the face in the middle of his concert (FF to the 53 second mark if you hate listening to crap). TMZ says

During a show on April 30 in Aspen, Colo., a fan who was tossing money around in the crowd was pulled on stage by Pitbull. The guy then thought it would be a good idea to make it rain in Pit’s face … and was dead wrong.

Pitbull suddenly levels the guy — repeat, LEVELS the guy — with a devastating right hand, then follows it up with a Beckham-esque kick once the dude was on the ground.

Cops were never even called to the scene.

Of course the cops weren’t called to the scene. It’s not like they would have shown up anyway. What you’ve got here is a Mexican assaulting a black dude. It’s pretty much common knowledge that it’s only a police matter when white people are involved.

Joaquin Phoenix made his debut performance as a rapper in Vegas this weekend. It was, of course, the awe-inspiring performance you were expecting. The NY Daily News says

Phoenix, 34, walked right off the stage, falling flat on his rear following his unusual three song set. And brother-in-law Casey Affleck, [who is married to Phoenix's sister Summer] was there to capture it all. Affleck is filming a documentary to capture the actor’s transition to music.

“Transition” my ass. Try “side-stagger and face plant.” It’s like someone crossed Vanilla Ice with Bruce Vilanch and then repeatedly kicked it in the head before handing it a microphone.

BONUS: Footage of Phoenix wiping the fuck out (FF to the 36 mark) after the jump:

Walk the line, then bring your finger to your nose, put your hands behind your back:
