Update: Bodies Of 7-Year-Old Miss. Boy, Mom And Stepdad Found Shot To Death

Bodies Of Boy, Mom And Stepfather Found From the beginning, this looked like it would not end well. What a messed up way to die. According to The Huffington Post: A Mississippi man was arrested in connection to the deaths of a 7-year-old boy, his mother and stepfather, after their bodies were found Monday. Jaidon Hill, 7, Atira Hill, 30, and Laterry Smith, 34, had been missing since Friday. They were last seen driving in their vehicle, which was found burning and upside down in a ditch near Carpenter, in the central part of the state. An ensuing investigation led Copiah County Sheriff’s deputies to 42-year-old Timothy Lydell Burns, who was arrested in Jackson on Tuesday, WAPT reports. The man reportedly led authorities to the bodies, found in an old house near the car’s location. All three had been shot. Police wouldn’t provide a connection between Burns and the deceased family. On Monday, investigators were seen collecting items — including bloody clothes and Hill’s ID badge from her job at the University of Mississippi Medical Center — from a Dumpster at a Shell gas station in Jackson, Yahoo! News reports. Penny King, a relative of Atira Hill, spoke through tears when she told ABC News about the family. She described Jaidon as an “energetic, all-American boy.” “He’s full of energy and full of life. He worked in the church,” she said.. “He just didn’t deserve this at all.” Police didn’t immediately release more information about the bodies or the suspect. This is a tragedy all around, but the boy had his whole life ahead of him and the coward murked him too. Sad.

Amanda Bynes Tweets From Hospital: I Love Drake!

Amanda Bynes is picking up right where she left off. On Twitter, that is. Yesterday, the hospitalized 27-year-old actress tweeted, “I love Drake.” It was her first Tweet since July 19, when she said “Drake is gorgeous.” The singular Tweet is still live and was sent from her official account. The brief, unexpected return to Twitter came one day after her doctors at UCLA Medical Center asked for and were granted an extended long-term hold . Amanda Bynes was hospitalized under an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold back on July 22, and has been receiving mental health treatment ever since. Before that, Tweeting about Drake had been one of her favorite pastimes. The former child star made headlines March 21 when she wrote, ” I want Drake to murder my vagina ,” and talked about him countless other times. Drake never responded to the Tweets, though he is aware of them. “I don’t even know who is doing that or what that’s about,” the rapper told the August issue of XXL . “If that is her, I guess it’s a little weird and disturbing.” “It’s obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me.” Few would argue with that. Doctors say Bynes may need long-term hospitalization to treat her severe mental illness , though it’s unclear how long. Some reports have suggested up to a year at UCLA or a related facility, while others say she could move in with her mom in a month or two of she improves. We wish her the best in any case.

Kris Humphries Feels Bad for Lamar Odom, Still Hates the Kardashians

As he battles an alleged cocaine addiction , Lamar Odom has a surprising fan in his corner: Kris Humphries. The estranged ex-husband of Kim Kardashian is reportedly away of Odom’s plight and “feels bad for the guy,” an anonymous insider tells Radar Online, adding that Kris somehow thinks “the Kardashian public relations spin machine will have a negative effect [on] Lamar’s NBA career.” Wait… what? Won’t the drugs have a negative effect on Lamar’s NBA career? Humphries allegedly says he was the “victim of countless attacks” by a certain tabloid while married to Kardashian… and this same tabloid is the one that reported Odom as missing when the player’s agent says Khloe was always aware of Lamar’s whereabouts. The implication, we guess, is that the Kardashians are planting rumors about Odom to make him look bad. Although it’s unclear why this would possibly be the case. “There should be a support group for the former husbands and boyfriends of the Kardashians ,” the Radar insider concludes. We agree! Once Kris counts his millions and films the cameo on The Mindy Project that never would have come about if not for his marriage to Kim, we’ll totally break out our violins for the guy.

Jay Z – Holy Grail (Music Video) The first single off H.O.V.A.’s 12th studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail , samples Nirvana’s grunge rock anthem “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” sung by J.T. Timberlake certainly makes his mark, but it’s still Jay’s show. The stop-start nature of the video makes for a bit of a disjointed experience, and there are also moments in which Jay Z’s voice is intentionally slowed down. But that’s precisely the idea of “Holy Grail,” which strives to bring together a set of cinematic images in an artistic display that is nothing short of groundbreaking. Does it succeed in that ambitious goal? Tell us below: What do you think of “Holy Grail”?   It’s amazing! Not bad. Lame. View Poll »

Amanda Bynes May Need Long-Term Hospitalization to Treat Severe Mental Illness

Amanda Bynes’ team of doctors is recommending long-term, in-patient treatment to combat the actress’ severe mental illness, a new report states. Doctors at UCLA Medical Center will submit a recommendation to the judge overseeing her mother Lynn‘s bid to gain conservatorship of her daughter. In it, they will push for long-term hospitalization of the former child star. Amanda Bynes is being treated for a serious mental health disorder and is under temporary conservatorship of her mother until at least September 30. At that date, a hearing will be held to determine her status. After months of increasingly erratic behavior, Amanda was involuntarily hospitalized after setting fire to a stranger’s driveway in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Lynn had Amanda moved from a county facility in Ventura County to the renowned psychiatric unit at UCLA after being granted temporary conservatorship. Doctors have “been observing Amanda, and there has been some improvement,” but her diagnosis is complex, and medication has yet to rectify the issue. Treating such severe mental illness is, in many ways, uncharted territory, and is extremely difficult at the absolute least. If nothing else, it takes time. “She has her good days and bad days, and the goal is obviously to get her therapeutic and stable before being released,” a source says of the actress. Therefore, her treatment team, along with her mother “believes Amanda would benefit from prolonged treatment at UCLA, for at least the rest of the year.” Even though Amanda hasn’t been formally diagnosed with schizophrenia, “she is being treated for it. There is such a negative stigma with schizophrenia.” “Given time and the correct treatment and medicine, Amanda could and should absolutely be able to live with it and be a productive member of society.” “In fact, she wouldn’t likely suffer symptoms of it if she stays on her medication.” Here’s hoping, whatever decision is reached, that she continues to improve and finds her footing. She’s only 27 and has a bright future ahead of her.

Men Break Into Cafe, Engage in Police Standoff Over Quiche

Sometimes, you just really want some quiche. A couple of knife-wielding thieves broke into a cafe in Northumberland this week, causing police cars to swarm the premises and cops to engage in a five-hour standoff with the young men… all because they apparently had a specific craving. “They were hungry and wanted some quiche,” explained British restaurant owner Angela Marshall. “There was a bit of money in the till, but I think they just wanted food and then it got out of hand.” Fortunately, no one was injured and the 20-year old and 21-year old were eventually arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary. It remains unclear whether they ever got their quiche. Thieves Want Quiche, Engage in Standoff with Cops
