The Kings of Leon recently made the news when they canceled the remainder of a summer tour after lead singer Caleb Followill left a Dallas stage mid-show in a state of agitation that many assumed was inebriation. "I have to go backstage and vomit," he said before disappearing. He is "recuperating" but not everyone is buying it — brother and fellow band member Jared Followill tweeted about "internal sicknesses … that need to be addressed. " What may have been a disaster for Kings of Leon fans, not to mention their concert insurers, is perfect publicity for Stephen Mitchell's documentary "Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon," which has its premiere on Showtime on Sunday.

Caleb Followill will be trembling in his black leather ankle boots when the Record of the Year prize is announced tonight at the Grammy Awards. "Use Somebody," the hugely popular power ballad by Kings of Leon, is nominated in that category and three others. That gives the 28-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist four chances to get up on stage and choke. "Our family gets to see it. That's the only reason I go to the Grammys," said Followill during a wine-soaked interview at Giovanni Ristorante, across the street from his recently purchased Nashville luxury apartment, a week before the awards ceremony.

Rocker Caleb Followill was singing a new tune Friday: a lullaby. The Kings of Leon singer and his wife, model Lily Aldridge, welcomed their daughter, Dixie Pearl Followill, on Thursday.  “Mom, Dad and baby are happy, healthy and enjoying their new addition,” a band rep told People. Pearl was delivered in Nashville around 1.am. local time, clocking in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces. Aldridge, a Victoria's Secret Angel, married Followill in May 2011. We at the Ministry suspect the new parents will have a blast play-dating with another Kings kid -- band member Matthew Followill's little guy Knox, who was born around the time Caleb and Lily tied the knot.
