LOS ANGELES - Tila Tequila è stata aggredita mentre era sul palco a Chicago, durante il festival Gathering at Juggalos, e ha dovuto essere medicata.

Il suo portavoce ha detto a E!Online che l'attacco è stato terribile e che c'é stata una denuncia. Parte del pubblico ha iniziato a tirarle oggetti durante la sua esibizione.

'Dei ragazzi mi tiravano delle pietre enormi, bottiglie di birra che mi hanno tagliato l'occhio, mi hanno quasi bruciato i capelli con i petardi e mi hanno perfino tirato escrementi" ha detto la starlette al sito Tmz.

Tila Tequila Attacked at Juggalos Music Festival

(NewsCore) - A sheriff in the Illinois county where online star Tila Tequila was pelted with feces, rocks, glass, and fireworks while performing at the Gathering of the Juggalos music festival said “things got out of hand” at the event, TMZ reported Sunday.

Hardin County Sheriff Tom Seiner said deputies were already on the scene at the Gathering in Cave-in-Rock, Ill., due to reports of a stabbing when Tequila, 28, took the stage.

Recounting the Saturday incident to TMZ, Tequila wrote, “DUDES were throwing HUGE STONE ROCKS in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw firecrackers on stage.”

Seiner said Tequila, who became a star on MySpace, also complained that feces were thrown while she performed.

When Tequila left the stage with her bodyguard and other security personnel, she said a large crowd of people followed them to her trailer, surrounded it and broke the trailer’s windows.

Seiner said officers will be checking YouTube for videos of the event in the coming days to see if there is video of the attacks on Tequila, but said it is difficult to identify perpetrators in a crowd of thousands. He called the Gathering of the Juggalos a "nightmare."

TMZ on Sunday posted a 12-second video clip of Tequila's performance. In the video, one audience member is seen trying to get on stage before getting thrown off by security. Moments later, items start flying from the audience towards Tequila.

In the video Tequila is heard screaming, "I ain't going nowhere!" while she performed on stage.

Comedian Tom Green came on stage to try to diffuse the situation but the crowd continued to hurl objects at Tequila.

Tequila said Saturday that she would sue the organizers of the Gathering. “Pretty soon the owners who run the Juggalos will be bankrupt,” she wrote on Twitter. “My attorney Alan is already on it. This is disgusting behavior from men.”

The Gathering of the Juggalos is an annual music and wrestling festival organized by the Michigan rap group Insane Clown Posse (ICP). This year’s Gathering lineup featured Lil’ Kim, Naughty by Nature, comedians Tom Green and Gallagher, porn actor Ron Jeremy and many others, in addition to ICP and Tequila.

Devoted ICP fans are known as Juggalos, and often wear clown makeup in imitation of members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope.

Juggalos have been classified as a gang in at least four U.S. states, though fans claim Juggalos are a “family” and not involved in organized gang activity.

Ronnie James Dio ci ha lasciato

Ci ha lasciato una tra le voci più impressionanti dell'heavy metal: Ronnie James Dio è morto domenica a Houston all'età di 67 anni, da tempo soffriva di un cancro allo stomaco. Noto ai più per aver sostituito Ozzy Osburne nei Black Sabbath, ha avuto una carriera comunque lunghissima che ha segnato indelebilmente la storia del rock.

Ronnie James Dio, a legendary heavy metal singer who replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath and also was lead singer for the bands Rainbow and Dio, has died. He was 67.

Dio died Sunday, according to a statement on his website by Wendy Dio, his wife and manager. Maureen O'Connor, a Los Angeles publicist, said Dio died in Los Angeles. No cause was given, but Dio had said last summer that he was suffering from stomach cancer.


"Today my heart is broken," Wendy Dio wrote. "Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes before he peacefully passed away."

Dio replaced Osbourne in Black Sabbath in 1979. His first album with Sabbath, "Heaven and Hell," helped rejuvenate the group, selling more than 1 million copies. But Dio left soon after the release of "Mob Rules" in 1981 to form Dio.

He returned to Black Sabbath briefly in the 1990s and more recently had formed Heaven & Hell, basically a version of the band without Osbourne.

"Because I've been in and out of [a number of bands], people think I'm difficult," he told The Times in 1997. "That [probably] comes about because I'm very intense about what I do. I have a really high standard, and I expect people around me to reach that standard as well. That's probably unfair."

He was born Ronald James Padavona on July 10, 1942, in Portsmouth, N.H., and raised in New York. He once said he would have preferred playing for the Yankees to a life in rock music. He started his career with local bands such as the Vegas Kings.

His career took off in 1975 when he joined Rainbow. Dio had been playing with Elf, a band originally called the Electric Elves, but after guitarist Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple, he brought most of the band into Rainbow.

"With a guy who played guitar like Ritchie … and had this dark demeanor, it was perfect for me to get into a place where I could start writing darker and heavier things that I always wanted to do," he told the Press & Sun-Bulletin of Binghamton, N.Y, in 2007.

Many of Dio's most memorable songs revolved around the struggle between good and evil, including "Heaven and Hell." He also drew heavily on medieval imagery in such songs as "Neon Knights," "Killing The Dragon" and "Stargazer."

"I consider myself a singer, not a shouter," he told the Buffalo News in 2007. "It's always interesting to me when over the years fans have come up to me and said, 'Man, nobody screams like you!' I know they mean it as a compliment, but inside I'm going, 'I'm not a screamer, I'm a singer.' It's about a marriage of technique and feel, emotional content — not just screaming."

In 1986, Dio organized "Hear N' Aid," an all-star charity collaboration to raise money for famine relief in Africa.

"He possessed one of the greatest voices in all of heavy metal and had a heart to match it," Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French, whose band has toured with Dio since 1983, told the Associated Press.

Dio called off a European tour last year to begin treatment for his cancer.

"Most people have careers that last from three to five years, especially in metal," he told The Times in 1997. "When you've have this good a run, you certainly don't complain."

Along with his wife, Dio is survived by a son, Daniel; his father, Pat Padavona; and two grandchildren, according to O'Connor.
