The Irish Daily Mirror tell a shocking story this morning of a man who committed suicide by jumping off a roof and onto a stage upon which Frames’ frontman Glen Hansard was performing with the Swell Season, a group which also contains Marketa Irglova, Hansard’s co-star in Once.
According to a report in the paper, during the gig in the Saratoga Mountain Winery in California, the man jumped from the roof of the building and landed only a few feet from where Hansard was playing. The singer put down his guitar and walked over to the body, but despite the best efforts of Sheriff’s authorities and paramedics at the scene, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The members of the band were said to be in shock, but released a statement last night saying, “The band, crew and all involved are shocked and saddened at the unfortunate events of last night.
“Our hearts go out to the victim and his family and friends.â€
‘Sometimes I spend the night grabbing my ass. You would too if yours was as nice as mine.’ The author of this sentence? Why, only the unbelievably sexy Megan Fox, according to this morning’s Irish Sun, who have plunged head-first into the Twittersphere to relay some of the more bizarre postings of celebrities on the newest social networking phenomenon. Except they’re not actually the accounts of the stars themselves, but hoaxes set up by fans of certain celebrities.
Why we would wholeheartedly agree with fake Megan’ s sentiments, we can’t say the same for fake William Shatner: ‘Swine flu. Pff. I once overcame bovine emu and iguana flu SIMULTANEOUSLY by sheer mind control,’ or fake Lindsay Lohan: ‘@molls – you should stop taking xanax and switch to cocaine’.
The creators of some fake-stars’ accounts on the other hand need to stop being so predictable, as in the case of fake David Hasselhoff: ‘Deciding which leather jacket to wear’. Boring.
