Tragedy struck the Miley Cyrus camp Friday morning when one person was killed after one of the singer’s tour buses overturned. But have no fear, Miley fans: The 16-year-old was not on board. The bus swerved off the highway and hit an embankment before it overturned, Virginia State Police said. The driver of the bus, William G. Douglas, 53, was trapped inside and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to NBC12. Nine other production crew members sustained minor injuries. Cyrus’s North Carolina concert Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex will not be canceled, reports TMZ. (Associated Press)

According to Gawker, 14 of the 20 photos are in black and white, and while several exhibit the bare backside of "Ricky Hollywood," none—as expected—are full-frontal. "He looks very sexy," writes Brian Moylan, "though his body doesn't look as worked out as you might think." (Gawker)

Some very lucky college students have landed a room with a view: Jude Law recently moved in to an apartment within perfect eyeshot of an NYU freshman dorm. "There is pretty much chaos on every floor when he comes out," Priya Vij, 18, told the New York Post. "People start screaming, 'Hey, Jude'—and it's clear he can hear us." Some students even break out the binoculars when Law emerges onto his balcony with his son or his personal trainer, the paper reports. "We have the best view on the floor," 18-year-old Erica Rose said. "It is exciting to have a celebrity living right next to you. He is really attractive. He's rugged and scruffy." But Law, who’s currently starring in Broadway’s Hamlet, is not a fan of the peeping toms. When he noticed some gawkers a few weeks ago, he began tossing oranges at them. “He threw them at our window, but he missed,” said freshman Neha Najeeb, explaining that Law then went to retrieve more fruit. "This time, he hit the windows—there was orange pulp on the glass for a week—and then he went back to working out. Now we don't like Jude Law anymore." (New York Post)

Lock your doors and ditch your ironic accessories, the hipster grifter is back on the loose. After about six months in a Salt Lake City Prison, Kari Farrell was released today.

Kimberley French / Summit Entertainment The vampire craze has yet to peak if the latest film installment in the Twilight series is any indication.

MovieTickets.com reports that 87 percent of its ticket buyers are women, while Fandango reports that ten percent of fans plan to dress up as film characters. Those lucky enough to score tickets to a Thursday night advance screening may be deaf this morning—Fandango reported that 51 percent of fans were prepared to scream as the lights went down. Eat your heart out, Frodo. (Entertainment Weekly)

Tweens may be screaming over Edward and Jacob, but the critics are showing The Twilight Saga: New Moon much less love.

 Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times

“The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan. Never have teenagers been in greater need of a jump-start. Granted, some of them are more than 100 years old, but still: Their charisma is by Madame Tussaud.

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead. You know you’re in trouble with a sequel when the word of mouth advises you to see the first movie twice instead.”

 Claudia Puig, USA Today

“The werewolves have it all over the blood-suckers in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. When these oversize, hirsute creatures burst onto the screen, they inject life into a rather inert story.

What bogs down this tale of teenage Belle (Kristen Stewart), her vampire beau Edward (Robert Pattinson) and werewolf buddy Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is the morose nature of Bella and Edward’s romance. Though an improvement over the first Twilight film, this sequel (both based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-\selling books) drags and sputters, even in scenes meant to be infused with passion.”

 Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times

“Constrained by the plot of the novel, the film keeps the two lovers apart for quite a spell, robbing the project of the crazy-in-love energy that made Twilight, the first entry in the series, such a guilty pleasure. New Moon… marks the franchise’s entrance into the self-protective, don’t-rock-the-boat phase of its existence, which is inevitable but a bit of a shame.”

 Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“Swooning tweens of all ages and sexes will work themselves into a lather deciding whether to join Team Edward (that’s sometimes shirtless vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson), or Team Jacob (that’s perpetually shirtless werewolf Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner). Sign me up for Team Confused, since this is now the second film in Stephenie Meyer’s four-book Twilight saga that fails to ignite the flame of Meyer’s overheated prose.

“Chris Weitz, the director of New Moon, pumps up the action as Jacob turns into an unconvincing digital wolf. I can’t comment on the acting because I didn’t catch Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner doing any. They basically primp and pose through the same humdrum motions they did before.”

 Ty Burr, The Boston Globe

“Sorry, girls: The thrill is gone. The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second installment in Hollywood’s adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s mega-selling vampire romance series, is an anemic comedown after the full-blooded swoon of last year’s Twilight. Where the first film’s director, Catherine Hardwicke, plugged into Meyer’s vision of supernatural teenage lust with abandon, Chris Weitz is stuck with a sequel that’s a morning-after mope-fest…

“In most…respects, the movie’s a drag—paced like a dirge and cursed with dialogue and a goopy musical score (Alexandre Desplat, how could you?) that bring out the book’s worst daytime-soap tendencies.”

After telling WWD that one of her mottoes is "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels," Kate Moss may have to eat her words. Anti-eating disorder activists are criticizing the model for propagating what they see as a "dangerous" and "very unhelpful" saying that's been widely reproduced by pro-anorexia websites. "She probably doesn't realize how dangerous such comments can be," said a spokeswoman for Beat, an eating disorder charity. "It's difficult enough for young people who are struggling to beat eating disorders, without comments like this, which are very unhelpful." Moss's agency, Storm, said that her comments had been "taken out of context" and that Moss "does not support this as a lifestyle choice." (BBC News)

Xtra Insight: Six Oprah scandals

John Kerry's daughter Alexandra, a film producer and director, was pulled over in Hollywood and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol early Thursday morning. According to police sources, Alexandra was pulled over on a traffic violation, and after failing a field sobriety test was taken to the station and found to have a blood alcohol content of .06. Though the legal limit in California is .08, drivers whose BAC is lower can still be prosecuted for unsafe driving; according to TMZ, Kerry is unlikely to be prosecuted, since her driving was not that "crazy."
