Sinkhole Swallows Florida House; Man Missing

A 37-year-old Florida man is missing after being swallowed by a sinkhole that appeared under his bedroom around 11 p.m. Thursday, an official said. Jeffrey Bush has not been heard from since the hole appeared in his bedroom in Seffner, Fla., near Tampa. Bush is feared to have been killed. Sinkhole in Florida Authorities have said the sinkhole, believed to be up to 30 feet deep, was “seriously unstable.” A 100-foot safety zone was set up around it Friday. Nearby homes were evacuated for fear of a sudden collapse. Jessica Damico, public relations officer for Hillsborough County Fire Department, said Saturday that experts resumed working at the site at 7 a.m. ET. “Right now they are still looking at soil samples and drilling and looking for stability, so they can find the edge of the sinkhole ,” she said from the scene. She said the sinkhole seemed to be about 15 feet deep, or perhaps even more. However she added the actual depth of unstable ground was unclear. Damico said there was still no sign of Jeffrey Bush. “If you look in, it’s about 15 feet and then there’s only sand,” she said, noting that engineers are only using camera equipment to examine the hole. The area is still too unstable for people to go onto. Bill Bracken, the owner of an engineering company called to assess the hole, said he “cannot tell you why it [the house] has not collapsed yet.” He said the earth below is a “very large, very fluid mass.” “This is not your typical sinkhole,” Hillsborough County administrator Mike Merrill added. “This is a chasm. For that reason, we’re being very deliberate.” While some in the neighborhood did not the risks, sinkholes are common in Florida; home insurers are required by law to provide coverage for them. Florida’s geological makeup increases the likelihood of sinkholes, and more than 500 have been reported in Hillsborough County since 1954. A monster 400-foot sinkhole sucked in a house, five sports cars, two businesses, and part of a swimming pool, appearing near Orlando back in 1981. “Envision a piece of Swiss cheese,” Taylor Yarkosky, a sinkhole expert from Brooksville, Fla., told the AP. “Any house in Florida could be in that situation.”

Sean Lowe and Emily Maynard: Flirting Behind Fiancee’s Back, Tabloid Claims

Just two women remain on The Bachelor this season. To learn who Sean Lowe (allegedly) chooses March 11, follow the link for The Bachelor spoilers . Whoever he’s engaged to … is there already trouble in paradise? According to a totally unreliable celebrity news tabloid, Sean may be cheating … with Emily Maynard, who broke his heart on The Bachelorette last year. This is totally ridiculous for several reasons: Sean Lowe is the least likely person on Earth to cheat on anyone. There is NO CHANCE they got together without anyone noticing. Nevertheless, Star claims that Sean Lowe , 29, and Emily Maynard , 27, re-ignited their flirtation after coming face-to-face with one another at a VIP event. At the Bachelor mansion, no less. “Sean looked so nervous to see her,” an eyewitness at the soiree said, noting with complete certainty, “You could see the old sparks were still there.” And, after Sean told Emily about his engagement to (see link above), the blonde beauty soon became VERY interested – and is now texting him nonstop. “She texted him immediately after leaving and said she regretted not having chosen him,” the insider said, claiming she totally wants him back now. Nice try, Star . Makes for an entertaining read , but not even semi-believable. Who do you think is the best fit for Sean, Lindsay or Catherine?   Lindsay Yenter Catherine Giudici View Poll »

Hey guys, I know you want to know what happened with Justin and…

Hey guys, I know you want to know what happened with Justin and how I met him last night so here is my Bieber expereince . Early in the morning I woke up and it was the day of Justin’s concert. I wanted to go early to the arena which was planned for ages but for some reason my mum wouldn’t let me. I got ready and she took me for a meal at TGI Fridays in the Traford Centre. I was so scared if I couldn’t see Justin or even get a glimpse of him. I even got him a present just incase I did. After we finished, we went to the arena and stood at the box office for about 20 minutes. The day before (February 20th) it was my birthday and my mum got me closer seats for his concert. We didn’t have them and she said we had to get them from the box office. After we waited this lady came over and asked if I was Shannon. She said, “Right I’ve just spoke to Kenny and he has your tickets, he’s sending someone up here to get you and take you to Justin.” At this point I did not know what to do with myself, my heart stopped beating and I felt like I was going to faint. About 5 minutes later some man came, found us and took us through this door and down a elevator. He had the most amazing accent ever. He was talking to Kenny through a walky-talky and I was like hyperventilating in the elevator. When we got out the elevator we were walking past all this equipment and I finally realized that I was backstage. Kenny shouted the man’s name and walked up to us. I was dying, I couldn’t even process it. Not knowing what to do, I held out my hand, he shook it and then asked for a hug. Kenny is like a bear omg. He said, “Hey Shannon, how’s it going? Here’s your tickets, Justin is going to do his meet & greets, then I will bring him round to meet you.” I was so happy, shocked and blessed. I was also scared because I didn’t even know this was not happening to me. Kenny took me into this little room and I waited there for about 30 minutes. I was pacing around because I was so nervous, my heart was pounding but I was forcing myself not to cry. A man opened the door and there was Justin, on his segaway. He rode in as normal and said, “Hey guys!” with a huge grin on his face. I was so shocked, it was unbelievable. I stood so close to Justin. It just wouldn’t process in my head. I gave him a hug and he said, “Shall we get some pictures?” I got my phone out and and he said, “You want selfies?” I FUCKING DIED! He took my phone and we got pictures, after the pictures were taken we started talking. I knew he hadn’t slept all night and he looked so tired. My mum went, “Have you had any sleep” and he said, “No actually I’ve been up all night writing music.” I had seen Alfredo’s tweet from before which said they were writing about lettuce so I asked him if he wrote one about lettuce. He said, “No actually the song was about you.” I was that shocked I just went, “What?!” He said, “The song? I wrote it about you.” I died 34298712 deaths because of what he said, he had the cutest smirk ever on his face it was unbelievable. Justin then asked if I wanted anything signed so I said my phone case and shoe. He asked me what my name was and he couldn’t spell it (it’s Shannon). It was so cute because he was there for like 5 minutes trying to write it. When he signed my shoe, he said, “Omg I love your shoes, Supras are really cool.” I DIED ONCE AGAIN! Before he left I gave him his present and he looked so surprised. He said, “Omg is this for me wow.” I said, “Yes, I know you have been through a lot and it’s just a way to say thank you for everything.” He said, “Thank you so much sweetie come here,” and we hugged again. He jumped back on his segaway and said, “Bye guys I hope you enjoy the show, it was nice meeting you,” and he left. As soon as he left I hugged my mum so hard and cried. I just met the most beautiful, talented, kindest human on this earth. After I calmed down, Kenny came back and handed me a gift bag with merchandise. He then asked for a picture.. well a ‘funny selfie’. He is the sweetest! He then walked up to near the seats and I was telling him how I was tweeting him all day yesterday since it was my birthday. He said, “Oh I’m sorry it’s just I can’t use the internet too much cause the other day my phone bill was $5,000 dollars.” I was like WOW. I then asked him about the clubbing pictures and he was laughing. We spoke about it but I don’t really wanna say anything just incase. Then we high fived, hugged and we went to our seats. I was 10 rows from the front and it was the best experience in the world. Justin is so amazingly talented and he puts so much emotion, compassion and energy into his performances. I was so grateful. I met Justin through my mum and I also suffer with depression and a life threatening condition. She has tried for months and months to make this happen and it wasn’t easy. We worked so hard. She even became really ill because she never slept. There is a lot more to it than that but basically all you need to do is have the dedication and determination. I want to thank you all again for the congrats. Please don’t give up on meeting Justin or even seeing him in concert, it will happen, I promise you. This meant so much to me that words can not describe. He means the world to me and has saved me in so many ways. If you have any questions just ask. Thanks again, love you guys. -@InsideKidrauhl  Here is the original post: Hey guys, I know you want to know what happened with Justin and…

Justin Bieber Believe Tour Ticket Surprise

For about a month now I have had a plan to work A LOT of overtime in order to buy my 12 year old little sister’s friend a Justin Bieber concert ticket. My sister and I have had our tickets for almost 5 months and her little friend, Danielle, REALLY wanted to go so I decided that, no matter what, I was going to find a way for her to go to this concert with us. I told her I had a surprise for her and that it was “Top Secret” and we teased her for awhile until today (4 days before the concert) and let me tell you, this reaction & the smile on her face at the end of this video made all the long hours, very few days off, and very exhausted nights SO worth it!!! I am so glad I was in the position to make her dream come true! #GiveBack #MakeAChange #PayItForward http://www.youtube.com/v/uJmQT7o94zg?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata See the original post: Justin Bieber Believe Tour Ticket Surprise

Never Say Never. Three simple words that Justin Bieber uses on a…

Never Say Never. Three simple words that Justin Bieber uses on a daily basis to teach us to always follow our dreams and never give up. And I never did. I have been following Justin’s career for quite a while but didn’t become a massive Belieber until ‘Never Say Never’ when I could understand his story and his messages. It was from then on I was in love and a committed Belieber. ‘Down To Earth’ got me through a really hard year and my parents divorce as I could relate to the lyrics. That was a very important song for me in 2011 and still is as it helped me survive and stay strong. I turned 18 on March 13 2012 and I decided to get a Justin Bieber tattoo and got lyrics from ‘Down To Earth’ on my arm. I changed the lyrics slightly to: “We will meet in the middle on our way back down to earth.” Then in July 2012 Justin came back to Australia and visited Sydney and Melbourne. I booked my flights down to Sydney to just hopefully get a glimpse of seeing him live and luckily enough also won tickets to see him perform live at his exclusive Sunrise concert. My friend Marie won Channel V comp to meet Justin and see him live at the intimate show and decided to take me as she needed someone over 18 and wanted Justin to see my tattoo and hear my story.  On the Sunday I flew down to Sydney and booked a hotel room at the hotel we though he may have been staying at (sadly he wasn’t, oh well got to stay at a 5 star hotel for a friggen good deal). On the Monday night he flew into Sydney and we went around to all the hotels trying to find him until we heard that he was staying at Star City. No sign of Justin. Then Kenny came out and I went up and introduced myself and thanked him for giving me tickets last year to see Justin Live. (I was waiting outside the venue to catch a glimpse of him and didn’t have tickets but Kenny gave me and my 5 friends tickets.) I explained I felt bad as I never said thank you that night as I was crying and screaming too much and felt so badly. Kenny was like, “Thank you man, that’s all good,” and promised to come back for photos as there was now a crowd around us. When he came back out he got MOBBED. I did later on get a photo and he remembered me and I saw Alison, Scrappy, Dan and Alfredo. After no luck we went back to our hotel. The next morning I went to go to the intimate show and my meet n greet. We got 3 rd row during the show and he was just brilliant. I couldn’t stop crying. After the show we had our meet n greet and it was very rushed. We got taken up in groups of 6 and all the 5 girls I was put in a group with were all over Justin and I was at the back of the group with my hand over my mouth, in state of shock. Kenny was standing next to me, looked at me and goes, “Oh hey man,” shakes my hand, grabs it, walks over to Justin, moves all the girls out of the way to introduce me to Justin (KENNY REMEMBERED ME)! I was like, “Hey Justin how are you?” and he was said, “I’m great thanks and you?” I was like, “Im fantastic, sorry I’m shaking,” and he laughed. I then said, “Your music means so much to me thank you so much and I got this tattooed, it’s lyrics from Down To Earth,” and Justin was like, “That’s rad! Omg.” I then hopped in the photo and he was saying goodbye to the girls then shook my hand and was said it was nice to meet me. I walked around the corner and fell on the floor crying. I then had to put myself back together and head back to Circular Quay to continue lining up for another 12 hours to see him at Sunrise. Justin came on and was supposed to perform 3 songs but stayed on for 2 hours and did 10 songs, answered questions and interacted so much. He kept staring at me and smiling as I was just crying and a complete mess. It was quiet between a lil break and I started chanting “Down To Earth” pointing at my tattoo and the crowd joined in. Dan and Justin both looked at me and was like okay and played the first verse of Down To Earth before they were interrupted by Sunrise saying they were about to go live. After the show, we checked out of our hotel, grabbed lunch and decided to head back to my Nana’s for the night. My friend Shannon and I hopped in a cab and halfway there I got a call from my friend Sara saying Justin was about to leave his hotel and go to the airport to meet her there so we could try meet him, we agreed. Out of nowhere a black van turned up and out jumped Selena and Justin. We were all calm, Justin and Moshe walked over to us. Once it was my turn I got another hug and explained to him why I got my tattoo and he said, “Thank you so much” and signed it, my CD then we got a selfie together. He is the most nicest ‘down to earth’ people ever. Luckily one of the other boy beliebers there got a video of Justin hugging me and me explaining my tattoo. It was an overwhelming couple of days and a lot of drama but it was all worth it in the end. I never said never and never gave up. -@ThomasBleach Video of me hugging Justin  Read more here: Never Say Never. Three simple words that Justin Bieber uses on a…

Quote Of The Day: Shonda Rhimes Says “Eff Valentine’s Day. Go Do Something With Your Life”

She has a point. If you’re one of those people who hates Valentine’s Day because you’re single, you are definitely in good company but Shonda Rhimes, the creator of hit shows “Scandal,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice” was particularly ticked off after someone tweeted her asking her to write something inspiring to the ladies alone on V-Day. Here’s her response : Here is what I say to all the ladies who are alone on Valentines Day: please do not ever use these words “ladies who are alone on Valentine’s Day” together in a sentence ever again. Ever. Again. Valentine’s Day is just a day. It’s just a day of the year like any other. Go. Be happy with the people you love and who love you. See a friend. Read a book. Flirt with a cute boy (or girl). Dance it out. Watch a movie. Have a party. Build a robot. Stop a Zombie Apocalypse. Take over the Earth. Paint your toenails. Eat soup. DO ANYTHING. BUT DO NOT buy into the idea that a day created by greeting card companies should be more romantic than other day or should make you feel lonelier than any other day. Cause life is awesome. And that (feeling lonely cause of a day) is stupid. And a waste of perfectly good time. And it makes me do things like write ranty tweets. Because FOR REALS? You’re asking me to cheer up women who are alone of Valentine’s Day? You don’t need cheering up. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. You are perfect and awesome just like you are. You just happen to be listening to someone who says you aren’t. They are idiots. Ignore them. Because FYI? A lot of great things can happen to you while you are single. I came up with a show called Grey’s Anatomy while I was single. Just saying. F**k Valentine’s Day. Go do something with your life. much love, Shonda Do you agree that Valentine’s day is just a greeting card holiday designed to make people spend money and feel bad about themselves if they’re not coupled up? What are your plans for this evening. WENN/ Shutterstock

Kristen Stewart Says Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams & Dakota Fanning Are ‘Cool’ (While Looking Hot)

I never tire of looking at Kristen Stewart.  In the new issue of V Magazine , which features the On The Road actress in a 10-page photo spread,by Inez & Vinoodh and on its cover, writer Sarah Cristobal writes that there is “a slightly feral air”  to Stewart’s presence, and that’s exactly what makes her so fascinating to watch on and off screen.   I wish On The Road   had been a more cohesive movie, and a better showcase for Stewart’s talents post- Twilight Saga ,  but she clearly has no regrets.  The actress tells V that the Walter Salles picture has been “a fucking amazing experience. I would have done anything, I would have played any part.”  She adds that the character she did play, Marylou, who was based on Beat icon Neal Cassady’s onetime wife LuAnne Henderson, was “remarkable because she has a tough core. When you are a teenager a year can be crippling to maneuver through, you’re just out there questioning things and so to be completely ok with that and not think that there is anything wrong with you, that’s something I’ve recently understood,” says Stewart, who points out that she’s 22 where “Marylou started this whole thing when she was 15.” As Stewart told Movieline , playing Marylou helped her to be “unabashedly” herself , and she elaborates on that theme a bit with V . After a year in which she weathered a storm of overheated   Scarlet Letter -style publicity and issued a public apology for cheating on reported boyfriend and Twilight co-star  Robert Pattinson with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders , Stewart tells the publication:  “I have realized that you can close yourself off to life if you put walls up, but it’s a difficult thing…people can’t see in and you also can’t see out. So I have gotten quire comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing, its not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them. (..) I don’t want to deprive myself of any bit of life. Oh yes, and if you’re wondering which actresses are on Stewart’s radar, she says there “are many cool girls out there” and name-checks Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams and her Twilight Saga and  The Runaways co-star Dakota Fanning. Now check out some pictures.   Read More on Kristen Stewart:  Kristen Stewart Goes ‘On The Road’ & Chats Up Her Racy Role WATCH: Kristen Stewart Channels The Fierce Bella Swan In ‘Today’ Interview [ V Magazine ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

WATCH: In Russia, New ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ Trailer Watches You

The best thing about the Die Hard Franchise (aside from the almost-perfect, couch-destroying original of course,) is the fact that when it comes to bad puns, these people have no shame. Die Hard 2: Die Harder ; Die Hard With A Vengeance ; Live Free or Die Hard . Brilliance. I can’t wait for Live Together Or Die Hard Alone , Live And Let Die Hard , Cowards Die Hard Many Times , and the teen spinoff I Am So Embarrassed I Could Just Die Hard . [ Releated: The Time Joel Silver Destroyed A $5K Couch During The Filming Of ‘Die Hard’ And WATCH: Bruce Willis Adds Gravitas (And A Little ‘Die Hard’ Confusion) To ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ International Trailer ] Anyway, before we get to those inevitable classics, we first must get past the upcoming 5th installment in the never-ending story of cowboy cop John McClane, A Good Day To Die Hard . AGDTDH finds McClane going to Moscow just in time for a gigantic outbreak of terrorist violence, courtesy of an oily Russian who apparently just hates America a lot (boooo!). Conveniently, McClane’s son happens to be there, and also happens to be an American spy, so naturally the two of them team up to put the kibosh on the terrorist’s plans. The third trailer is out now, and yep, it is explodey. Yeah, buildings are damaged, wisecracks are made, and Ode To Joy returns as McClane’s theme song. But there’s no hint of yippie-kay-yay in this trailer, and that is in and of itself a miracle. Not as miraculous as the idea that McClane and his son wouldn’t be flattened into bloody wet pancakes when they fall into water like that, but a miracle nonetheless. A Good Day To Die Hard opens on Valentine’s Day. Follow Ross Lincoln Twitter.  Follow Movieline on Twitter .
