the expendables stuntman dies

So sad.

Yesterday, a stuntman died while shooting a scene for The Expendables 2 in Bulgaria.

Authorities are still investigating, but it looks like something went wrong during "a stunt that involved an explosion in a rubber boat."

A second stuntman has been hospitalized, but is fortunately in stable condition after surgery.

Here's what Expendables' production company Nu Image/Millenium Films had to say about the tragedy in a statement:

"It is with great regret that we confirm this unfortunate accident."

"Our hearts go out to the families and those on the production affected by this tragedy. The filmmakers are working closely with the authorities in responding to and investigating this accident."

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the stuntman who passed away.

We wish the second stuntman a full and speedy recovery.

I feel terrible for the man and his loved ones. Such an unfortunate movie title for this sort of accident.

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
