The main news this morning is that Charlie, from the pop group Busted, has been kidnapped. The band had just performed in Glasgow to a sold out house when the incident occured.

According to witnesses, the band were returning to their tour bus when a fan approached them with a raised gun. Charlie was asked to step away from the others. Too shocked to react, Charlie followed his captor into an awaiting car.

No contact has yet been made with the police or the family regarding a ransom. Female fans have been thronging towards the site since this morning and depositing flowers at the scene. The general mood is somber as the young fans hold hands and sing some of the more famous songs by the group, such as "Year 3000" and "I Crashed the Wedding."

Earlier reports that the kidnappers may have come from Glasgow's small Portuguese community are still being verified by the police.

Bono, in a statement to the press, regretted that criminals are now aiming their sights at musicians. Speaking beside Charlie's disconsolate parents, Bono berated the lack of security in Britain's music venues.

Rumours that this is a stunt perpetrated to raise the band's dwindling popularity in the public eye seem to be unfounded.

Mwahahahahaha! FANTÁSTICO!! Estou nas minhas sete quintas!! =o)

Não vou a fazê-lo mal! Aprenderá a gostar de viver comigo...♥

Eu acho que voce vai acabar no xadrez!

A única queixa que tenho é que vc perdeu a peça em que planeamos a coisa inteira juntos pk Charlie percebeu que está apaixonado por mim e não saberia como viver sem mim...

Com exceção dessa é a estória perfeita! Muito bem! =oP

Talvez eu tenha que escrever um "sequel"?

Acho que sim! ♥ A gente não pode ver a conjuntura inteira assim, não sabe que Charlie ama-me de verdade! ;o)

A pus no meu userinfo há pouco! =o)

well, I'm glad you liked it.

It was great! =o)

Now I can't wait to read your book, vc da para a escrita!

Puxa! Obrigado. ;)

Não tem de quê!

A propósito - como lhe corre o livro?

Tudo bem... estou bem pra tras, mas tranquilo. Mesmo com o mes terminando amanha, vou continuar trabalhando nele. Quero fazer muita pesquisa e adicionar algums detalhes a estoria.

How weird. I have never heard of this group, but now that I think about it I wonder why more pop stars aren't kidnapped.

They are very big in Britain... they are kinda like a lighter version of Green Day.

Then I guess we should be glad they will be off the market for awhile, eh?
hahaha

Only if Charlie gets to be with my

dani_bee. :)

Yaaaaay, your priorities are SO in the right order! =oD

If I ever get round to coming to London, you have to help me kidnap him...♥

I doubt Busted are going anywhere soon though, they won Record of the Year last night!

Well if it was a publicity stunt, then it worked to a minute degree, simply because I probably would have gone through life never knowing of their existence with the absence of your post! :P
Perhaps, I'll play a somber Madredeus song in his honor.

You like Madredeus?!?! I love them!

i love them too! :)
i have a couple of their cds!
theresa salgado's voice is heavenly!

I need to see them live. I just know they would be fantastic. What other bands or music do you like?

i know they would be wonderful live.
they're actually featured in a film called "lisbon story"
as far as other bands and stuff... are you familiar with lamb?

Oh yes! The singer is beautiful. I saw a documentary recently on Leonard Cohen, and she spoke in it. I haven't heard their latest album though.

Louise... yes, she has such a beautiful, haunting presence about her.
They are outstanding live as well!
I love them! I have all of their stuff, just about..
My music tastes in general are vastly expansive.
What are you into?

I'm the same as you, into a lot of stuff. I'm half-brazilian, so I have a soft spot for Brazilian music (and that's how I discovered Madredeus - through the portuguese connection.) I mostly like indie music, and also a lot of old bands. But I'm also open to new stuff - as long as it's not too digested and commercial.

Thanks! Will check it out at work tomorrow (computer at home is slow.)

My other half is British. Ah, and I was born in South Africa (just to complicate things a bit further.) ;)

ohh that's fantastic! i just love complication! ;)

Ahhh Brazilian! Party-time! hahaha
What's your other half? :)
One my current project is that I'm designing a website for a Brazilian dance group here in L.A.
The site's far from finished but you're welcome to have a look at it at: http:/galasamba.com (http://galasamba.com)

No need for sombre music, he's quite safe and happy! =o)♥
