Parents Outraged Over Ke$ha Concert Never Should've Brought Their Kids in the First Place

A group of parents who took their kids to a Ke$ha concert last Friday are all bent out of shape -- no, make that horrified and appalled at the lewd behavior the singer engaged in on stage throughout the show.

Complaints from parents range from being disgusted that she "made reference to her genitalia and sex acts" to being shocked that she gave the crowd the middle finger and "dropped f-bombs" during her performance.

And all I can say is, how in the heck did these parents not realize that they were attending a Ke$ha concert -- not a One Direction, Taylor Swift, or some other squeaky-clean perfectly kid-appropriate act? Don't they have the slightest idea who Ke$ha is?!?

The woman claims to have had sex with a ghost, for crying out loud -- so it's not like anyone should expect any of her concerts to be on the tame side. Did I mention she also has a line of jewelry shaped like penises? (Um, hello?)

I know these parents were probably only trying to do something fun and special for their kids, but I'm sorry -- they're just plain irresponsible if you ask me. Many of them are upset because the concert was open to all ages, and they feel like that served as some sort of indication that Ke$ha's performance would be like some kind of Disney show. But duh, of course it was open to all ages -- because musicians tend to like to sell as many tickets as possible. Also, the concert was held at a casino and they wanted to make it clear that people under the legal gambling age could attend.

But regardless of that, it's not the job of the concert venue to decide what is and is not acceptable for children to see -- that's the parents' job.

And any mom or dad who is planning on bringing their child to a concert needs to a.) listen to the music first and know who they are dealing with, and b.) do a little research on the performer if they don't have time to sit down and listen to their music.

Sounds easy enough, right?

I know exactly what kind of music my son is a fan of, and while it's all pretty innocent at this point, I know his tastes will change as he gets older. And there's no way I'm letting him go to a concert without knowing exactly what types of songs and/or behavior he's likely to see at the show.

These parents have no business complaining about something that was completely in their control had they only made it a point to pay a little more attention. If nothing else, hopefully this will make them more aware of just how important it is to monitor the type of music their kids are listening to and choose concerts accordingly from here on out.

Would you ever taken your child to a Ke$ha concert?

Elle Macpherson Marries Billionaire Fiance in Dream Wedding After Tragedy Brought Them Back Together

They say the course of true love never did run smooth, so in that case, it must be true love for Elle Macpherson and her new billionaire husband, Jeffrey Soffel. The two were reportedly married in Fiji over the weekend.

Remember that idiotic article that came out decades ago about a woman having as much of a chance of finding a husband after 40 as getting killed by a terrorist! Well, 49-year-old Elle, who looks as gorgeous as she did during her modeling heyday, would say "Pishaw!" to that. Girlfriend bagged herself a billionaire! Not that she needs the cash. MacPherson has not only been one of the richest models for decades, but she has a successful lingerie line. But that's not what makes this romance so interesting. It's that last year, the two weren't even a pair anymore. They had split up in March 2012 and reportedly Elle was devastated. Then fate intervened ...

Elle already had had her share of bad luck with men. She was with wealthy tycoon Arpad Busson for 10 years and had two children with him, but they never married, and soon after their bust-up, he was engaged to Uma Thurman, with whom he had a daughter -- who has one very long name: Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson.

But then Elle began dating Jeffrey, a wealthy hotel magnate. Reportedly, he dumped her and began dating a 25-year-old model, leaving Elle devastated even though rumor has it the pair were "on and off."

Elle went on to concentrate on her career, becoming a host and producer on NBC's Fashion Star.

Have you ever had your heart broken by a guy and kind of hoped something bad -- but not too bad -- would happen to him so maybe he'd realize what he'd lost and come back to you?

Well, that happened to Elle. Only it was pretty bad. Jeff got into a helicopter crash while in the Bahamas. His friend was killed. He was alive, but had severe injuries, including a fractured spine.

This immediately brought the two back in contact. A friend said at the time:

Jeff is very shaken up and mourning the loss of his friend. Elle is landing in Miami imminently to visit him and offer her support at a very tough time.

Reportedly, she went on to nurse him back to health. A few months later, they were engaged. And this time, there would be no long-drawn out engagement for Elle like there was with Arpad.

Elle and Jeff were married secretly in Fiji last month. A friend told People magazine's sister Australian publication:

This is such a joyful time for Elle and Jeff. They are both thrilled.

Wow, what a dramatic courtship, eh? Sometimes it really does take a near-death experience to make you wake up to what is important in life. And it can take almost losing someone you love to forgive and forget.

It looks like Elle and Jeff learned some valuable lessons from that frightening crash. And got their happily ever after.

Have you ever gotten back together with someone after an accident or tragedy?
