Since it’s impossible to address the total madness of the music industry in only five days, Pop Uncultured saves some of the week’s strangest stories for Friday afternoon. Enjoy?

Jack White produced a song for the Insane Clown Posse [FULL STORY]

Perhaps in an attempt to overshadow Beyonce and her baby news, Jack White actually – actually – produced a song for Insane Clown Posse called “Leck Mich Im Arsch” which translates to “Lick Me in the Ass”. There’s really nothing else I can tell you other than to listen and subsequently feel as weird about it as I do.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are having a bay-bay

Oh, right. Beyonce and Jay-Z are having a child, and nobody in the entire world is as excited as Kanye West.

Shia Labeouf directed a music video for Marilyn Manson [FULL STORY]

After meeting at a Kills concert, Shia and Marilyn struck up a friendship that magically led to this:

Though I think we can all agree that bad performance art is better when it involves Freddie Prinze Jr.

Sinead O’Connor is on the hunt for sex in a big and public way

In “fair enough” news, Billboard reports that Sinead took to the internet to post what she’s looking for in a suitable male partner. He:

– “Must be no younger than 44”
– “Must not be named Brian or Nigel”
– Cannot be “buffed or waxed.”
– “Must be very ‘snuggly’. Not just wham-bam.”
– “Must be wham-bam.”

Tupac‘s crew said they smoked his ashes, but then his Mom said that they didn’t [FULL STORY]

Taking the lyrics of “Black Jesus” to heart, members of Tupac’s Outlawz claimed that they smoked the rapper’s ashes at his beachside memorial many moons ago. However, NME reports that a spokesperson for his Mom has come forward and said Ms. Shakur would “never participate in smoking her son”, and that the rap group would’ve had to “sneak” the remains past members of Pac’s family. Since this is getting all kinds of weird, let’s just be happy that nobody in this situation is Keith Richards.

Solange Knowles was allegedly accosted by police for wielding an inflatable banana

After Solange Knowles claimed that police had pulled a weapon on her in an act of discrimination, the Miami Police have come forward to address the singer’s accusations, claiming that she’d been brandishing a weapon of her own: an inflatable banana. Measured at approximately 5′, no official photos of the banana have been released, but thanks to common sense and accurate official descriptions, we believe the banana is actually one-half of a prominent duo:

Say ‘Goodnight, Dick’: Good Charlotte are going on hiatus

According to NME, after releasing a free mixtape, Good Charlotte will be going on a lengthy hiatus, so it’s important to remember the good times:

Lady Gaga wore a prosthetic penis for her role as Jo Calderone

It’s only fitting that we acknowledge Lady Gaga’s turn as Jo Calderone, and thanks to Us Weekly, we can also take solace in knowing that the singer donned a fake penis to get into character. Okay, fine. But I’ll just leave this here:

(Thanks to EW for the clip.)

Justin Bieber got into a car accident, but DON’T WORRY he’s fine

J-Biebs got into a little fender-bender this week, but do not fear because he is a-okay and had such a great time at the VMAs he probably doesn’t even care. [via MTV]

Pauly D is teaming up with 50 Cent “musically” now

Pauly D told Billboard that he is “focusing on music” because it is his “passion” which explains why he’s now working with 50 Cent. And you thought earthquakes and hurricanes signaled the apocalypse.
