the flames and the skin-piercing parts look rather pathetic. What I can say for sure is that this guy is a gamer, since every gamer knows that blades on fire are better than the regular ones.

Photos - Richard Branson's Necker Island Mansion Burns – Kate Winslet Saves His Mother




Sir Richard Branson
Business tycoon, Virgin CEO, and billionaire Richard Branson lost one of his huge mansions on his private “Necker Island” in the Caribbean yesterday.

A fire started as a result of Hurricane Irene that is churning in the gulf and heading toward Florida and the east coast of the United States.

The mansion was considered a total loss and no injuries were reported.

Authorities said a lightning strike sparked the blaze that burned the mansion to the ground and that there were 20 guests, including his mother, in the house and on the property at the time.


In a dramatic twist that could only be created in Hollywood, actress Kate Winslet was visiting the property with her two children when the fire erupted, and she single handedly saved Branson’s 90-year-old mother from certain death by carrying her to safety.

Branson told reporters,

“We had a really bad tropical storm with winds up to 90mph. A big lightning storm came around 4am and hit one of the main houses. The fire took hold incredibly quickly, with flames 100 feet high. It ripped through the house very quickly. It was Kate who carried my mother to safety. My Mom is 90 years-old and Kate swept her up in her arms and got them out of the house as fast as possible.”

Sir Richard purchased the island, called Necker Island, in 1979 for about $250,000 and then spent tens of millions of dollars building fantastic mansions, pools, spas, and VIP areas for his friends and family.


The island and structures are used throughout the year by some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and business tycoons and rents for $35,000 per day.

Branson has vowed to rebuild saying,

“We want to rebuild the house as soon as we can. We have a wonderful staff here and we want them to stay and work. We’ll all stay here for the time being. There’s a lot of damage and we won’t be able to put it back together again right away. It was a beautiful house.”

Until the main VIP house is rebuilt guests will have to find comfort in one of the other six mansions scattered around the island.

The tropical storm that caused the lightning strike has since turned into a category 3 hurricane named Irene and is heading for the East coast of the United States threatening not only Florida but the entire coast as she heads towards the Carolina’s.

Video - Fire at Rihanna Concert Cancels Show – Fans Evacuated

It was a big night in Dallas Texas for Rihanna fans last night.

A fire broke out on stage during the singer’s concert at the American Airlines Center and caused a near panic and the cancellation of the show.

It appears that a pyro pack attached to the upper lighting rig either didn’t go off correctly or exploded prematurely causing a section of the rig to catch fire and quickly filling the arena with smoke.

A local CBS affiliate reported sparks and chunks of burning material fell back down onto the stage starting additional fires near a section of curtains and equipment.

It was all caught on video by a fan in the audience, and you can hear by his voice that things got very close to raging out of control.

As the fire grew, stage hands turned on the house lights and stopped the show. The guy taking the video can be heard talking to his friend about what would happen if they had to evacuate.

At one point he grew concerned about being trampled if things got out of control.

Finally a crew member was able to climb up to the rig and used a fire extinguisher on the blaze while the crowd erupted in cheers.

The show however, had to be cancelled due to safety concerns.

The singer took to her twitter account afterwards to say,

"DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I'm so pissed, I was havin so much fun with yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!"

Rihanna is currently on the road for her U.S. “Loud” tour.

The singer recently announced that she has added an additional tour stop in Birmingham Alabama on July 11th at the Jefferson Civic Center Arena.

All profits from the show will be used to benefit local community relief efforts stemming from the devastating tornadoes that tore through the area last month.

From there her July shows continue on to Atlanta, Sunrise Florida, Greenboro North Carolina, Long Island New York, East Rutherford New Jersey, and Philadelphia.

Starting in August she will take her show overseas to Finland, Norway, Ireland, London, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Switzerland.

Photo - “Jackass" Star Ryan Dunn Killed in Fatal Car Crash

Anybody who has ever watched the television show “Jackass” knew who Ryan Dunn was.

Last night, the 34 year old was killed in a fatal car crash near West Goshen Township in Pennsylvania.

News reports say Dunn, and another passenger, were killed around 3:30 am Monday morning. His death was confirmed by Bam Margera's mother according to TMZ.

Dunn’s 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 apparently lost control and smashed into a guard rail before ending up in the woods and bursting into flames.



Friends say Ryan was drinking at a local bar before getting behind the wheel and downed at least 3 beers and 3 shots of hard liquor before leaving.

Dunn’s costars Bam Margera, Johnny Knoxville, and Steve-O are aware of the accident and have started to send condolences either by twitter or through their representatives.

Johnny Knoxville tweeted,

“Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan , I love you buddy.”

Jason “Weeman” Acuna

“RYAN DUNN-- a super awesome memory was at the J RODY walston & the business show!!! I MISS YOU BUD!! You were always a happy kick-ass dude!!

And film critic Rodger Ebert has already stirred up the pot by tweeting,

“Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive."

Dunn had posted a picture on twitter earlier in the evening showing him drinking with friends.



MTV has also responded by saying,

“We're deeply saddened by the passing of a member of the MTV family, Ryan Dunn. Our hearts and thoughts are with his friends and family.”

Trace Atkins Tennessee Home Totally Destroyed by Fire – Wife and Kids are Fine

Legendary country music star Trace Atkins lost his home to fire on Saturday but his wife and children are reported to be okay.

Atkins, who was traveling on business, was not at the home but his two children and housekeeper were.

His wife Rhonda was out running errands and was only ten minutes away when the fire started in the garage of the 5,000 square foot Brentwood Tennessee home.

Trace and his wife had lived in the home for more than ten years.

A babysitter was able to get the children and family pets out of the house before calling the fire department.

Rhonda told a local reporter,

"I'm just numb," the singer's wife of 14 years told The Tennessean. "I'm sad because we lost irreplaceable things like all Trace's awards and our family photos. But you can replace things, not people. I'm just glad that my children are safe."

In addition to his country music career, Atkins has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2003, and has appeared on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice and several episodes of “King of the Hill”.

He is also the author of “A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck”. His book was published in 2007 and showed his strong political and social views.

One interesting fact about the singer is his pinkie finger on his left hand is permanently crooked to fit around the neck of a guitar. Many years ago Trace cut off the finger in a work accident and he asked the doctors to reattach it in a different position to fit his guitar.

Trace is currently filming the movie “The First Ride of Wyatt Earp” starring alongside Val Kilmer. The film is due in theaters sometime next year.
