Hannah Montana Target of Suicide Attack

Miley Cyrus’s Hannah Montana concert in Louisiana was targeted by an alleged teen hijacker in an suicide attempt.

A 16-year-old Lousiana teenager was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly planning to hijack a commercial jetliner and crash the plane into into a Hannah Montana concert in Lafayette, Louisiana.

The 16-year-old was taken into custody by airport police without incident on Tuesday evening after flying from Los Angeles, California, to Nashville, Tennessee, on Southwest Airlines Flight 284.

“His stated intent was to hijack the airplane and commit suicide,” said George Bolds, an FBI spokesman in Memphis, Tennessee. “He did indicate he intended to die in Louisiana. It appears he had a ticket to Louisiana.”

According to the FBI, the teen was in possession of handcuffs, duct tape and a type of rope or yarn at the time of his arrest. “His plan contemplated overpowering the flight crew,” Bolds said, though the flight proceeded without incident.

The teen is being held on unspecified state charges and could face federal charges as well, Bolds said. CNN affiliate WTVF reported the teen has been charged with felony terrorism and is being held at the Davidson County juvenile detention center.

Thats one hell of a crazy fan of Miley! We’re glad that the plan was foiled!

Heath Ledger’s Body Flown Back to Australia For Burial

Heath Ledger’s casket was flown back to Australia on Friday and expected to be buried in his hometown of Perth.

Ledger’s friends and families gathered at Funeral Home in New York City on Friday afternoon for a private memorial.

Police had set up barricades outside the funeral home earlier that day to control hordes of paparazzi and mainstream media outside the funeral home.

Heath’s grieving family members placed messages of remembrance in Friday’s West Australian newspaper.

A note signed by the entire family read: “How do we describe our sudden and tragic loss? … You were the most amazing individual “old soul” in a young man’s body.

You so loved us, as we dearly loved you. As a close knit and very private family unit we have observed you so determined yet quietly travelling in your self-styled path in life, nothing would get in your way … no mountain too tall, no river too wide.

You dreamed your dreams and lived them with passion and intelligent commitment. We have been privileged to accompany you on a ride through life that has simply been amazing and through it all, we have loved each other beyond imagination.

Your true legacy lives on in beautiful little Matilda, who will always remain in the greatest of care. Our hearts are broken.”

Could Heath Ledger Be Alive?

Will Heath Ledger be alive today shall his masseuse called 911 instead of Mary-Kate Olsen or is certified in CPR?

Diana Lee Wolozin, the masseuse who found Heath’s body on Tuesday, made three calls to Mary-Kate before calling 911 and now Us Magazine is reporting that Diana does not hold a state license to perform massage therapy.

She is not listed on the New York State Education Department’s Web site, which tracks licensed health care professionals. (Licensed massage therapists are supposed to be certified in CPR.)

Practicing massage therapy without a license is a felony and Wolozin could face fines or jail time.

“We have notified the New York City Police Department as part of their investigation that no one by that name is licensed as a massage therapist in the state of New York,” Jonathan Burman, spokesman for the New York State Education Department, tells Usmagazine.com.

Kathleen Doyle, Executive Secretary for the State Board, tells Us, “I can only tell you that in New York state, at this time, the law requires that any person who uses the titles ‘masseur, masseuse or massage therapist’ must possess a license. It’s a health profession in New York.”

Wolozin had phoned Olsen three times before calling 911. Emergency workers arrived about 23 minutes after Ledger’s body was discovered by Wolozin.

Could Heath Ledger be alive today if his masseuse did better?

Relationship of Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate

What is the real connection between Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen?

People magazine is reporting about an apparent “intimate” relationship between the pair, three months prior to the actor’s death.

According to the magazine, Heath and Mary-Kate first met over the summer of 2006 when he was still together with Michelle Williams. At the time he was living at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood.

More recently, “Mary-Kate and Heath were casually dating for three months before Heath’s death,” a source has told PEOPLE. “They were hooking up, but neither were particularly interested in making it exclusive.”

As for what drew the two together, says the source, “They had a bond that was based on partying, and they had the same tastes in partying … like, in terms of where they liked to hang out in New York, what time they would want to go out. They just had the same sensibility.”

Mary-Kate released the following statement to the media through her rep on Friday.

“Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time.”

End of John Mayer’s Blog?

John Mayer has deleted all the post from his official blog on January 23 and the only things left is the image above and the following quote.

“There is danger in theoretical speculation of battle, in prejudice, in
false reasoning, in pride, in braggadocio. There is one safe resource,
the return to nature…”

Mayer is probably getting back to writing songs (finally) rather than frequently writing shit loads of rant on his official blog.

Will you miss John’s blog post?

Joel Madden Giving Update on His Baby

Newfound dad, Joel Madden is giving us another round of update on his newborn daughter, Harlow and her mother Nicole Richie.

The Good Charlotte rocker posted the following on his official blog:

“Harlow.

January 23, 2008 at 3:14 pm

She’s already growing to fast! So I am at home writing this blog before i head to the DCMA store, and then the DEAD EXEC studio to work. I swear it’s so hard to leave during the day, but always so rewarding to come home to the little family. I’ve always been a guy who loves to love.Probably one of the things that define me outside of my work is LOVE. I had no idea what love even was until Harlow came along.

Me and her mother feel like the luckiest two people alive right now. This time in our life has been amazing. We both look at our little girl every single moment everyday and know there is nothing we wouldn’t do to protect her and her perfect little innocence. It seems like you turn on the tv, or get online and its all bad news.

We dont want her to know any of that yet. I actually never want her to know any of the pain and suffering we see out in the world everyday, or how harsh people can be as a result of it. Having this baby has really made me realize we all start out that way, then somewhere along the way something happens and people go one way or the other. But all started out sweet and innocent just like my little daughter. The world could really make you bitter if you let it, but thats where music, and art come in to save the day.

You’ve got to surround yourself with the things you love. The whole point to DCMA and this site is a bunch of us friends doing what we love, surrounding ourselves with positivity. I want my kid to grow up around that.

My heart goes out to Heath ledger’s family. Too young. too soon. too loved to be gone. It almost seems pointless to say this with the state of the media today, but i hope people will respect what his child and her mother are going thru right now and give them space. May God be with them.

So this one was especially long today on the writing side, i apologize it all just got me thinking.”

Paris Hilton on The Hottie and the Nottie.

Paris Hilton made her first blog post of the year and she was speaking about her latest movie, The Hottie and the Nottie and endorsing her friend’s band, “Forever the Sickest Kids”.

This is what she posted on her official blog on myspace.

“First Blog of the New Year!
Current mood: excited

Hey everyone! Hope you all had an amazing new year so far. I have, and I’ve never been happier. Last night we had the first screening of my movie The Hottie and the Nottie in Dallas, Texas, at the Regent Park Theater. It was so exciting to be watching it for the first time with a live audience and the response was incredible. It made me so very happy and proud to be a part of such an amazing project. It’s a hilarious film with both a beautiful message and a fun love story…it’s the perfect date movie!

My co-stars Joel David Moore, Christine Lakin, and Johann Urb are not only great actors and perfect for their characters, but are close friends as well. I had the best time on set and will never forget my time working with them. Joel, my love interest in the film, is probably one of the funniest human beings on the planet–he is such a natural comedian. I could hardly keep a straight face during scenes because he was always using improv and saying the craziest, most outlandish things. Christine, who plays “The Nottie,” is one of the sweetest girls I know and is such a talented actress. Plus, I give her major props for having to go through three hours of hair and makeup a day to look the way she did for her character. Finally, Johann is not only one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever laid eyes on, but is also very down-to-earth and intelligent. He was a pleasure to work with on set and was a great singer, just to give you a little insight on my peeps

So back to last night at the premiere: after we screened the movie, we had an afterparty at The Ghost Bar, the new hotspot in Dallas at the W Hotel. It was a beautiful club and everyone had a great time. I was there with my friends from the up-and-coming band, “Forever the Sickest Kids”–check them out on their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/foreverthesickestkids . They are six musicians from Texas…I love their music and they are such sweet guys!

I hope you all like my new MySpace page–I plan to write more often now that I have the new setup…Well, I have to go now because I’m on my way to Philadelphia for another private screening of my movie. I can’t wait to hear from you all, and check back soon for more updates!

Love you all!

Love,

Paris xoxo”
