The sad news has emerged that fearless stunt addict Ryan Dunn has passed away aged 34. Reports say his life was claimed in a car crash which happened in Pennsylvania early Monday morning. Dunn appeared in all three Jackass films alongside Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville and his major claim to fame was shoving a toy car up his rectum in the first Jackass film in 2002.

Police told media that Dunn's 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 was situated "off the road and in the woods" in West Goshen Township. They found Dunn alongside Dunn an unidentified passenger and they both were said to have died around 3 a.m. "as a result of injuries sustained in the accident." It's unknown whether alcohol was involved in the catastrophe but authorities claim "Speed may have been a contributing factor," cops added. Late Sunday, however, Dunn tweeted a pic of himself drinking with pals.

So sad news for friends and family of the actor and taken away at such a young age makes it such a tragedy.

Lately Amy Winehouse has been set free from rehab and had been given the all clear to venture out on her European tour but after last night's display in Serbia it seems that the exit from rehab was premature. The singer was booed as she performed or more, TRIED to perform in front of fans in Serbia.

Her display definitely gave the impression that she was under the influence as she hobbled around the stage and slurred her words to the dismay of onlookers. She also appeared a whole hour late which wouldn't have helped the mood of the crowd to begin with. During the show she sat down on one of the speakers ad fixed her shoes as one of her backing singers went to her to try and show support and helped her back to the microphone.

She missed cues, forgot words and tried to perform, oblivious to how bad she was being received by the audience. Not a night to remember!

Paul McCartney

The history of The Beatles may have been more extraordinary had they not disbanded but it's something we'll never know but it's come to light from a latest radio interview with Paul McCartney that John lennon was the reason behind the band parting ways for good. McCartney was being interviewed by radio host Geoff Lloyd on Absolute Radio this week.

The Beatles hung up their boots back in 1970 after the recording of "Let It Be" and the famous four played their last concert at Apple Records headquarters in London in 1969. McCartney talking of the event said: “Basically me, George [Harrison] and Ringo [Starr] said ‘Does this have to be final, could we do a couple of gigs or can we think about this tomorrow?’, but John was off with Yoko and he was saying ‘No, no, it’s great, I feel a release’ and all that.” “So that was kind of final,” McCartney added.

So certainly a stark message to anybody still in doubt over reason behind the demise of the band at the turn of the 1970's.
