It’s never good to throw up on other people. Babies and young children can be excused, but what kind of amateur drunk throws up on someone else’s shoes; or on someone else (I’m looking at you, Dani).

Foodborne or not, it’s not cool to barf on other people. Even celebrities. The New York Post reports that the actress Susan Sarandon (right, sorta as shown) was among the late-night partygoers celebrating the third anniversary of the Lower East Side burlesque club, The Box, when transsexual performer Rose Wood vomited on stage directly onto the Oscar winner.

A witness reports, "She actually handled it very well. She was laughing while a bunch of guys came over to towel her off."

As noted in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, always take a towel, wherever you go. Always.
 

Yesterday’s USA Today reported that ratings for food shows on television are booming – prime-time numbers for the Food Network are up 29 per cent this year to a new record – yet every time I flip by, the stars suck at food safety.

We chronicled all this stuff back in 2004, but it’s time to redo the study and see if there have been any improvements.
 
Programmers say a recessionary trend toward home entertaining has driven the genre. "Culturally right now, food is a comfort device," says TLC chief Eileen O'Neill.

There’s no comfort in barfing.

Green Day, currently on tour promoting 21st Century Breakdown in Australia and New Zealand, canceled tonight's concert in Melbourne after front man, and Casey Affleck look-a-like, Billie Joe Armstrong experienced symptoms consistent with food poisoning.

"Although Billie-Joe was determined to perform tonight it became apparent… that he would be unable to take to the stage - particularly in light of the lengthy 2.5-3 hour show the band traditionally perform,'' Green Day’s touring company said in a statement.

The concert has been rescheduled to tomorrow night and representatives said all tickets remained valid and anyone unable to attend tomorrow night should seek a refund from their original place of purchase.

I was a big Green Day fan in grade 9 when they released Dookie. There was something about the fake British accents and dirty sounding guitars that drew me in (along with millions of other teens). In a so-very-clichéd-way, they never revisited the greatness of their first album. And they became irrelevant for a while when "Time of Your Life" became the most overplayed graduation song of all time (narrowly beating Alphaville’s Forever Young and Sarah McLachlan’s I Will Remember You).

Canceled concerts are never cool. In 2000 I had tickets for what I believed would have been the best concert of my life, Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine at the then-named Molson Park in Barrie, Ontario. One of the Beasties fell off his bike and broke his arm. They never rescheduled and Rage broke up shortly after. Damn.

This clip typifies celebrity barf. It's not often we actually have clips of folks actually barfing.
