Sad: Jackass star Ryan Dunn was killed in a car accident early this morning.

Reality TV daredevil and Jackass star Ryan Dunn was killed in a car accident in the early hours of this morning.

The 34-year-old died in a one car collision near his home in West Goshen, Pennsylvania at around 3.30am following a night out with friends. An unknown man was also in the car at the time and was also pronounced dead at the scene.

As yet, the cause of the accident and the circumstances leading up to it are not yet known but just hours before the accident, Ryan had tweeted a picture of himself with two male friends, all of whom were holding what appeared to be alcoholic beverages.

Ryan rose to fame as part of the stunt crew for the MTV show Jackass, which ran from 2000 to 2002. He then featured in Bam Margera’s Viva La Bam from 2003 to 2006 as well as all three of the Jackass movies.

It was actually Bam Margera’s mother, April, who confirmed Ryan’s death by calling into Preston and Steve’s radio show on WMMR 93.3.

Just hours before his death, Ryan Tweeted this picture, of him enjoying a night out with friends Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2005872/Jackass-star-Ryan-Dunn-killed-car-accident.html#ixzz1PpbEeyDE

His Jackass co-star and friend Steve O was reportedly too distraught to speak when approached by RadarOnline.com for comment.

Ryan was famously involved in a golf cart accident during the filming of the first Jackass movie during which Johnny Knoxville was injured.

He was driving the golf cart with Knoxville as a passenger when he tried to launch the vehicle over a sand bunker.

Knoxville was thrown from the cart which then landed on top of him, knocking him out.

Teenager Arrested For Egging Justin Bieber?

5 May 2011 12:44 PM

A teenager from Sydney, Australia has been arrested and charged after allegedly pelting Justin Bieber with eggs during a gig.

The Baby hitmaker was performing at the city’s Acer Arena on Friday night (29Apr11) when an unknown assailant threw a number of eggs at him from the roof during a dance routine.

Bieber narrowly avoided being hit as two messy missiles smashed as his feet, while another four splattered across the front of the stage.

On Thursday morning (05May11) a 17 year old was arrested at his home in Sydney after allegedly clambering onto the roof of the venue and dropping the eggs on to the stage.

He was taken to Waverley Police Station, where he was charged with breaking and entering, trespass and malicious damage.

The teenager has been released on conditional bail and is due to appear at Parramatta Children’s Court on 2 June (11).

Justin Bieber sings Rebecca Black's "Friday" Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" [+Video]

Remember when Rebecca Black asked Justin Bieber to sing a duet with her a few weeks ago? Well, her dream may have come true when the Canadian pop star sang a few bars of her absurdly catchy single “Friday” at a recent concert.

Apparently, the 13-year-old singer has created a shrine to the Biebs in her room.

At the concert, Bieber asked the fans if they wanted to hear his mega-hit “Baby”

Then he started singing Britney Spears‘ “Baby One More Time” before doing it into his own songs. Watch the video below.

On Wednesday, the 17-year-old, currently on tour in Europe, continued to josh his fandom via Twitter:

“so here is the big news they were waiting for me to announce to u once off stage….” – He tweeted.

“OFFICIALLY getting #NEVERSAYNEVER3D to Blu-ray & DVD May13th. Preorder NOW – http://j.mp/getNSN and I’m signing some for my fans!” #MUCHLOVE” he then added.

Rebecca Black’s “Friday” Pulled From YouTube?

Rebecca Black’s "Friday" Pulled From YouTube?

Rebecca Black’s “Friday” the much-maligned but still catchy pop music video that’s taken the web by storm, has passed into nothingness. The video was removed from YouTube by the original publisher (Black’s record label, Ark Music Factory) as of 4 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.

Love it or hate it — and chances are, you hate it — Rebecca Black’s music video “Friday” had racked up an impressive 64 million YouTube views since its inauspicious debut last month. However, when it comes to sentiment, “Friday” was killing it, and by “it” we mean “any feelings of charity or kindness you may feel toward Ark and its teenie bopping popsters.” of course.

“Friday” had racked up around 1.189 million dislikes; Justin Bieber’s “Baby” its nearest competitor for the dubious honor of “most hated video” has only 1.162 million dislikes on YouTube.

But Bieber’s clip had more than 501 million views. When you do the math, that means Rebecca Black’s video was actively disliked by almost 1.88% of viewers who saw the video. “Baby” is disliked by a mere .23%.

We’ve written about Black’s first foray into Internet fame a few times, and not everything we’ve had to say has been nice. After all, the teen singer was given only the briefest radio play, and she reportedly didn’t even make that much money from the video, especially when one considers the amount of exposure and emotional pain that comes along with such an ordeal.

We’ll keep an eye on the video’s URL the clip may pop up again shortly. In the meantime, we’re reaching out to Ark for a statement on why the video was pulled in the first place.

Justin Bieber Tops Michael Jackson For Box Office Record

20 March 2011 10:33 PM

Justin Bieber’s film, Never Say Never, has now earned more than Michael Jackson’s This Is It, making it the most successful concert movie domestically.

Bieber made Jackson beat it today with a total (so far) of $72.2 million in U.S. tickets sales, compared to the King of Pop’s $72.1 million domestic take.

And Never Say Never has only been out for six weeks, Bieber, however, will not outpace the nearly $190 million This Is It earned internationally.
