Spin Cycle presents another installment of "All the News That's Fit to Razz" ...

Corey Taylor, the lead singer of Slipknot, smacked the phone out of a texting fan's hand during a recent show. He later tweeted, "If you're gonna text, stay home."

Is he sorry the phone slipped out of the guy's hand? He's knot.

• According to The Sun in a story headlined "Rolling in the deep pan pizza," a hungry Adele insisted that a hotel staff member make a 140-mile round trip at 11 p.m. to get her takeout from her favorite pizza restaurant. And then she fell asleep and never touched the pizza, which was still in the box the next day.

How upper crust of her.

• Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry recently was rushed to the hospital after going into cardiac arrest while on stage. He was performing with his band Hollywood Vampires -- which also features Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp. During the show, Perry had to sit down. He left the stage and collapsed backstage. After the show, the band posted, "Joe Perry is stable and resting. His brother Vampires and fans wish him a speedy recovery."

Of course the real news is that -- seriously? -- Joe Perry, Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp are in a band? Together?

• Singer Taylor Swift recently received a marriage proposal. But it wasn't from her latest honey, actor Tom Hiddleston, or her former flame, DJ Calvin Harris. It was from a deranged man-fan from Maine who showed up at her Rhode Island mansion professing his love -- this, two days after he was arrested for running in the street and flashing motorists. He didn't get past Swift's guards, however.

To borrow a lyric, they knew he was trouble when he walked in.

• Tall, curvy Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones dazzled in a sexy red dress at the Los Angeles premiere of the film. The dress was designed for her by a former Project Runway winner who responded to her June desperation tweet: "It's so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for movie. Hmmm that will change and I remember everything."

"Who you gonna call?" Apparently designer Christian Siriano.

Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda not only said goodbye to the musical, but to his locks. He tweeted a photo of his trimmed new 'do following his emotional final curtain call. He was ready for a new look. Now maybe he's ready for a new gig.

We've got it -- Hairspray!

Jenni "JWoww" Farley, an alumna of MTV's Jersey Shore, recently got backlash -- or is that backsplash? -- by posting a photo of her 2-month-old son Greyson at the pool. Instagram users slammed Farley, saying her son -- wearing a T-shirt and straw hat -- was too young to be in the water and needed sunscreen. Farley shot back that he was only held in the water for three minutes and protected by her husband and sunscreen.

And then she put him down for a nap in his tanning crib.
