So this crazo was getting “boned”…LITERALLY! According to Washington Post: A woman in Sweden has been accused of necrophilia after investigators found some 100 skeleton parts in her apartment. The Swedish news agency TT cites prosecutor Kristina Ehrenborg-Staffas as saying that the 37-year-old woman is suspected of using the remains, which included six skulls and one backbone, in “sexual situations.” The woman from southwestern Sweden was charged “with violating the peace of the deceased” in Goteborg District Court on Tuesday. The TT agency reports that police also found a CD titled “My Necrophilia” as well as photographs in which a woman is seen kissing and hugging the skulls. The woman has denied the charges, claiming she collected the bones out of historical interest. Wow she took pics with the skulls though???

Poor Thang: RihRih’s British TV Show “Styled To Rock” Shut Down Due To Janky Ratings

Has RihRih’s style show hit the skids? It’s looking like at least some of the singers checks have indeed stopped coming in. According to UK Daily Mail reports : It was meant to be her big TV break, but Rihanna’s television debut has been axed following poor ratings – amid claims that the production was a ‘nightmare’. The singer, 24, was the star and executive producer on Sky Living Show Styled To Rock, where wannabe designers battled it out to make a festival outfit for their idol. However, she only made three appearances on the program – including the finale, where she picked up the winning outfit. But despite the fact that Rihanna called on friends including Cheryl Cole, Kanye West and Katy Perry to guest star, Styled to Rock has been scrapped after ratings fell to below 79,000. However, the show – presented by fashion designer Henry Holland and Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud – has been sold to the US Style Network without Rihanna on board. A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Scheduling all these pop stars with our filming schedule was a nightmare. Rihanna’s diary was manic, and to be honest, after it struggled for viewers it was always going to be difficult to get her to agree to do another series. During filming, Rihanna sparked concern for her health when she scrapped a 10-week trip to the UK for work – forcing a planned appearance on the program to be rescheduled. But she angrily dismissed claims that her health was affected by constant partying and said she was visiting her family. However, just weeks later she tweeted pictures of herself hooked up to an IV. Last November she cancelled a concert in Sweden when she was taken to hospital and put on a drip. Doctors put her weakness down to a bad case of flu. The Umbrella star’s then enraged Saturday Night Live bosses by missing a rehearsal due to illness and tiredness. A Sky Living spokeswoman said: ‘It is far too early to make a decision if the show would return for a second series. ‘After every big launch, we undertake extensive research with our customers, and will make a decision when we evaluate the results.’ Well now we see why she’s trying to rip people off make a little extra cash on deluxe editions of her new album !

Liv Ullmann Plans New York Film Festival Visit For U.S. Premiere of Akolkar’s Liv And Ingmar

The premise sounds like an Ingmar Bergman  film,. starring Liv Ullmann . On Oct. 1, the surviving member of the venerated on- and off-screen couple is slated to be in Manhattan on Oct. 1 to watch herself onscreen: at the U.S. premiere of  writer and director Dheeraj Akolkar’s  Liv and Ingmar at the 50th anniversary of the New York Film Festival .    Told entirely from Ullmann’s point of view and shot at the house Bergman built for the Norwegian actress on the spot in Fårø, Sweden where he declared his love for her, Liv and Ingmar is billed as a “affectionate but truthful” account of the filmmaking couple’s 42-year relationship that spanned 12 movies and a five-year affair. The Swedish filmmaker was 47 when he met and fell for the 25-year-old Ullmann on the set of his landmark Persona in 1965.  The  auteur and the actress, who were both married at the time, ended up living together for five years, during which Ullmann gave birth to their daughter, Linn Ullmann in 1966.  Their friendship and their working relationship continued until Bergman’s death in 2007. “Liv Ullmann and Ingmar Bergman are two legends and like any other film fan I have been in awe of their work for a long time,”  Akolkar said in a statement. “But what propels me to make this film is what lies beneath their greatness — this universal and very real story of a man and a woman…[who were] lovers-friends-companions.” The director added: “This film is for everyone who has loved and lost and continued loving.” Liv and Ingmar also utilizes clips and behind-the-scenes footage from the films they made, still photographs, passages from Ullmann’s book Changing  and Bergman’s personal letters to his muse.  Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.
