Veteran daredevil Jane Wicker was killed along with her pilot as her plane plunged to the ground during an air show performance Saturday in Dayton, Ohio. The show was suspended following the crash of her Stearman biplane, and expressions of sympathy have poured in to the performer’s Facebook page. It wasn’t clear what went so wrong, but the biplane glided through the sky, rolled over, then crashed and exploded into flames, killing Wicker and the pilot. The video of the crash, below, is not for the faint of heart: Jane Wicker Plane Crash Wicker, whose “wing walking” was an air show staple, said she felt confident of her ability and that lots of practice makes her signature stunt a “managed risk.” As always, Jane had planned to hang underneath the plane’s wing by her feet and sit on the bottom of the airplane while it was upside-down. The video shows the performer sitting on top of the wing; the plane then tilts and crashes to the ground, erupting into flames as spectators scream. The show was canceled for the rest of the day, but organizers said events would resume Sunday and follow the previous schedule and normal operations. The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating the crash. On the video, the announcer narrates as the plane glides and rolls over while the stuntwoman perches on a wing as she has countless times before. “Now she’s still on that far side. Keep an eye on Jane. Keep an eye on Charlie. Watch this! Jane Wicker, sitting on top of the world,” the announcer said. R.I.P.

Uh oh. Sounds like Chris Brown is at it again. In Bermuda Wednesday, the singer reportedly got into an argument with longtime pal and bodyguard Big Pat aboard their private plane, which had stopped to refuel. An airport worker tells the Bermuda Sun : “I’m not sure of the details of what happened on the plane but his plane came in, got serviced and everything was finishing and they were getting ready to leave.” “Then there was a stall .” And then, according to the paper, Brown’s bodyguard (or “security guard”) exited the plane, followed by Brown and another man, after an altercation. “They had to come inside to customs,” the source continued. “The security guard came inside [an airport building] and said he wasn’t getting back on the plane.” He stayed true to his word. Chris Brown “went back through customs and the plane left,” while Big Pat reportedly hopped a flight back to JFK later. Big Pat, you may recall, was among those injured in the infamous W.i.P. club brawl between Chris, Drake, Meek Mill and their posses last year. No word on what caused the dispute or what it was about, but Rihanna ‘s boyfriend had been on a roll lately when it comes to positive, glowing press. All good things …

Rihanna’s 777 tour was more than just a nightmare for the 200 people on board, it also cost her a good amount in airport fines. As if carting a full load around the world wasn’t pricey enough, the 24-year-old incurred an extra bill of over $300,000 for repeatedly showing up late to board her plane… Continue
Rihanna’s odd 777 tour – seven cities in seven days with a plane full of fans and reporters – ends in NYC this evening. For some, not a moment too soon. As horror stories from the tour emerge at breakneck speed, so fast that the Unapologetic singer actually apologized (sorta) for some of what transpired. Streaker on Rihanna Tour Plane Or more accurately, what didn’t. Rihanna being MIA was the biggest gripe. ”I know you guys got barely any dirt,” she told the press Tuesday. “I had to preserve my health. Normally, I’d be back here popping bottles with y’all … I had to preserve my voice. I was worried about my body more than partying.” “I had to just sleep whenever I could.” “But I had to be good. I still sound like $h!t. It’s impossible to spend time with everybody. I’m sorry I didn’t. But this was excellent and I would definitely do it again.” No stories about Rihanna, ironically, became the big story. ”There has been general discontent with the dearth of interaction with the star,” Spin reported. ”One person was basically responsible for not only keeping us from doing our jobs, but from sleeping, eating, going outside or even using a bathroom.” Eventually, disgruntled plane passengers broke out in chants like ”Save our jobs! Save our jobs!” and “Just one quote!” and, most hilariously, “Wi-Fi!” Other issues: Long waits on buses, tarmacs and in windowless pens, nude on-board streakers (above), bad food, too much alcohol and overall “bedlam.” Also distressing were the living conditions, which seemed closer to cattle keeping than the supposed glamor a round-the-world jet would imply. The streaker, Australian DJ Tim Dormer, at least used the 777 tour to his advantage. Rihanna herself did not, despite the great cost of the publicity stunt. The pop superstar gave fans and reporters attention on day one, mingling and serving champagne, and then promptly disappeared for the remaining six. She did, however, tweet pics of herself in various stages of undress. Phew. Who cares about in-person mingling when you can see Rihanna nude on Twitter.
Rapper A$AP Rocky Says He Dislikes Lil Wayne’s Fashion And Inspires Kanye West Hip-hop trailblazer A$AP Rocky usually makes most of his noise from behind the mic, but he’s been making a few waves this year and he seems to be getting more and more comfortable giving his 2 cents and owning his celebrity status. The Harlem-born emcee recently chatted it up over at Hip Hop DX about his fellow rappers Kanye and Weezy and their suspect fashion choices and how he fits into the mix. via Hip Hop DX “I hate the way Lil Wayne dresses sometimes,” Rocky said. “The lime green Ugg boot thing? I didn’t like that but that’s his style. There’s people who probably hate the way I dress – not a lot – but a few people might hate the way I dress. That’s my style. At the end of the day, I’m not judging. They asked me my opinion, how I felt, and all I gave them was my feedback. He’s got way more money than me, way more successful so I can’t say nothing bad about him.” He continued with fashion, saying that the inspiration between Kanye West and him has to be mutual. “Kanye inspires me. There’s no way in hell you could tell me that I don’t inspire Kanye. Everybody, as an artist, could look at it as competition but it’s just clothes.” No love for Wayne and his jeggings….not that he seems to care though…
It hasn’t been a full seven days yet, but the journalists aboard the Rihanna plane have had enough. We already reported on a naked uprising (no pun) courtesy of a possibly delirious Australian writer, but there are far more amusing tales from the plane, thanks to a few crafty wordsmiths…. Continue
