Police in Prague, Czech Republic, arrested Randy Blythe June 28 and charged the Lamb of God frontman with manslaughter. As of Friday, he was still behind bars. The 41-year-old was involved in an incident with a fan at a 2010 concert in the city. After a fan jumped onto the stage from the crowd, Blythe is accused of pushing him back into the audience, inflicting head injuries from which he later died. In an email Friday, Lamb of God spoke publicly about the case for the first time. Lamb of God thanked fans for their support “of Randy and each of us in this terrible situation” and insisted that they “aren’t trying to keep anyone in the dark.” “We have been keeping our heads down and not speaking out due to the fluid nature of the situation and the constantly changing information,” they said. “Within an hour things can do endless 180’s. It’s maddening. In the two years [since], we were never notified of anything related to this incident.” “Randy is our brother and we assure you, we are all staying very positive, working endlessly behind the scenes to provide any and all assistance possible.” “The best we can do is to stay positive and continue to support our friend we know is innocent. We know justice will prevail and we will continue to do our part.” [Photo: WENN.com]

Dwyane Wade is currently battling the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. But the elite shooting guard was faced with an obstacle far greater than guarding Kevin Durant this weekend, when his estranged ex-wife attempted to kidnap the former couple’s two children. A rep for the Cook County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that Siohvaughn Funches-Wade was arrested for allegedly trying to abduct the boys, saying in a statement: “Siohvaughn Funches-Wade was charged with two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference and one count of resisting arrest.” She posted $10,000 bond and will appear in court again this August. Dwyane – who is dating actress Gabrielle Union – has legal custody of the children and will reportedly use this incident to limit Siohvaughn’s visitation rights, considering it’s not even her first foray into seriously shady behavior. In the past couple years, Siohvaughn has sued Union for causing emotional distress and also accused Wade of giving her a STD .

But authorities are reportedly calling for extra security at the NY show following Drizzy’s nightclub brawl with Chris Brown. By Rob Markman Drake Photo: Despite numerous reports to the contrary, the NYPD confirmed to MTV News there are no plans to arrest Drake before his show in Long Island, New York, tonight and the investigation into the YMCMB star’s nightclub brawl with Chris Brown is still ongoing. But that doesn’t mean authorities are taking things lightly before tonight’s concert: TMZ is reporting that New York State Police are calling for extra security at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theatre following the Thursday morning scuffle between Brown’s and Drizzy’s entourages in a New York City club. Reps for Drake have maintained that the Toronto MC did nothing wrong . On Friday night, Cash Money CEO Birdman weighed in on the incident. “To me, Drizzy ain’t did nothin’ wrong, he ain’t done nothin’ wrong to nobody. He’s just doin’ great music,” he told MTV News exclusively. “He’s not a reckless guy out there just wildin’ out; he’s a humble kid makin’ great music.” There has been a ton of finger-pointing following the brawl, which reportedly involved members of both Drake’s and Breezy’s respective crews. Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos has been very vocal in implicating Drake as the main culprit in the incident. “I have turned over evidence that it was Drake who instigated this,” he told the New York Post. “The evidence makes it clear that Chris is the victim of all this. “I believe the police are building a case against Drake and his thugs,” he continued. The police did confirm with MTV News that the case was ongoing but would not confirm that they were ready to arrest the Take Care MC or anyone in connection to the brawl. Coincidently, the manager of the W.I.P. nightclub (where the incident occurred) was arrested Friday due to existing warrants unrelated to the incident. Drake has big plans for tonight’s concert, which is a scheduled part of his critically acclaimed Club Paradise Tour. During an interview with DJ Scoob Doo’s BreadOverBed.com, Drizzy said he plans to outdo Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert. After a radio DJ insulted Nicki Minaj just hours before she was scheduled to perform at the June 3 concert in New Jersey, YMCMB boss Lil Wayne pulled the plug on his label’s all-star performance. “I’ve got everyone you would want to see, plus people that you wouldn’t expect to see,” Drake said.

If Rihanna didn’t feel like she was the only girl in the world before this week, the violent nightclub altercation between Chris Brown and Drake – or at least their entourages – certainly could be seen as an ego boost … or just scary. She is, of course, Brown’s ex and Drake’s friend, collaborator, and rumored hookup. For her part, she was at a different club, with Brown, earlier in the week, but Rih was nowhere to be found at W.I.P. when things got ugly Wednesday. She heard about it, though, says a source who claims Rihanna “loves this! Men fighting over her? Are you kidding? Of course she loves the drama .” After a deluge of texts telling her what went down, “She just laughed. She’s spoken to both of them and just thinks it’s crazy. She’s glad she wasn’t there!” “She just wants to be friends with both of them.” Clearly they have different ideas. Brown tweeted a pic of a serious gash on his chin after a member of Drake’s posse allegedly hit him with a bottle. Drake has denied “any wrongdoing” through his rep, but Brown and his attorney have pointed the finger at the Canadian rapper and his entourage. A member of Brown’s posse may have been the primary aggressor, however, as reports suggest he was making gang signs and death threats at Drake. Neither star is considered a criminal suspect in the incident. Rihanna hasn’t taken a side … but you can!
Warning: The following video is chock full of lyrics that are not safe for work or wife. Azealia Banks has come out with the official music video for “Liquorice,” something she considers a warm-up act before releasing a mix tape titled “Fantasea” that the female rapper describes as so “New York” and so “raw.” Azealia Banks – “Liquorice” (Official music video) Says Banks of criticism that has come her way: “I’m that rap girl who’s out here and doesn’t have another rapper behind her, but she’s got all this mouth and she’s all over the place… Rap dudes, keep talking sh-t and I’ma keep popping sh-t. I’m just reactive and I say what I have to say and I keep it moving… It’s not going to change.” That’s good. You should always remain true to your real self. “Fantasea” will hit stores and iTunes next month.
Lacey Schwimmer of Dancing With the Stars made a shocking discovery Thursday when she walked into her Sin City dressing room … a naked dude. The stranger was in her bathroom, getting ready to shower. The frightening incident, which occurred as Lacey and the DWTS crew are performing live in Las Vegas, understandably shook up the pro dancer. “Lacey walked into her dressing room and her door was kicked in,” a source said. “She found a man buck naked and ready to get into her shower.” “It was terrifying, he was a complete stranger! Lacey rushed out and has since reported the incident to police. She is talking to the cops right now.” “It would seem there needs to be more backstage security!” No word if the naked dude was also high on bath salts . Two weeks ago, cast member Tia Carrere encountered a thief in her dressing room after a performance of Dancing with the Stars: Live in Las Vegas . Might need to step up the security detail, DWTS .

Wednesday night’s series premiere left us wondering everything but who shot J.R. By Kara Warner Jesse Metcalfe and Josh Henderson in “Dallas” Photo: How about that highly entertaining return to “Dallas” Wednesday night (June 13)? TNT’s reboot of the iconic ’80s hit struck a chord with viewers, 6,863,000 of them to be exact, which made it the #1 scripted series premiere on all of cable so far this year. Now that we’ve seen the first extended episode and been properly introduced to the new young castmembers , it’s time to throw out a few burning questions we hope to have answered over the course of season one. Whose Side Is Marta On? Despite the aggressive scheming set up by the male characters on the show, the biggest surprise in the series premiere was in the reveal of the bait-and-switchery by Marta Del Sol (played by Leonor Varela). She’s “working” for both sides of the Ewing family, or is she? J.R. told his son that he’s known her for years and that she’ll be the key to taking Soutfork from brother Bobby, and then we see John Ross and Marta having their own not-at-all-inconspicuous meeting on the 50-yard line of Dallas stadium. So who is Marta really working for? Bobby, J.R. or John Ross? How Soon Will Christopher and Elena Rekindle Their Romance? Clearly the love still burns between Christopher and Elena. We didn’t even need that heated scene re-hashing the abrupt end to their too-recent engagement to know that their flame has yet to be extinguished. So what now? If John Ross is responsible for sending the email that ended their relationship, there are trying times ahead, no matter the fact that Christopher just married his second love, Rebecca. We’re predicting to see a kiss between Christopher and Elena by episode three or four. Who’s Responsible for the Burglaries? Over the course of this first extended episode there were two burglaries, one at Christopher’s office and another at Bobby’s home. Was it John Ross? J.R.? It’s certainly easy to blame John Ross, since he is so obviously adept at manipulation and acquiring confidential information. And J.R. has no qualms about robbing his brother, but why make such a big show of it? And if it wasn’t the J.R.’s, who did it and how will they use whatever was taken against their targets? How Serious Are J.R. and Bobby’s Illnesses? Come on now, we just got the original Ewing boys back on the air and they both have life-threatening illnesses to deal with? Sure, it’s realistic that Bobby and J.R. are dealing with cancer or perhaps other age-related ailments, but we cannot have their lives hanging in the balance of this first season, at least not due to medical reasons. We’ll take a good ol’ bounty on their heads or something appropriately more dramatic. In the meantime, how long will J.R. and Bobby be dealing with these problems? Is John Ross Inherently Good or Evil? All signs currently point toward evil, given the fact that John Ross is likely the reason for the end of Christopher and Elena’s engagement, along with the burglary at Christopher’s office. Not only that, but he wants to wrestle Southfork away from his own flesh and blood and defy the wishes of his beloved grandmother. According to actor Josh Henderson, who plays John Ross, the troublesome young lad is going to be walking a fine line all season. “It’s funny people keep asking, ‘Who’s good and who’s bad?’ ” Henderson laughed. “We’ll have to see. I follow in my father’s footsteps basically, a little bit. Now how that describes my character we’ll see, but it’s definitely a lot of fun.” What burning questions do you have after the “Dallas” premiere? Leave your comment below!
