Miley Cyrus entourage bus wreck kills one

DINWIDDIE, Va. — One person was killed Friday when a tour bus belonging to entertainer Miley Cyrus overturned, but the 16-year-old “Hannah Montana” star wasn’t on board, Virginia State Police said. Sgt. Thomas Molnar said the bus ran off the left side of Interstate 85, struck an embankment and overturned.

The accident occurred around 8:15 a.m. in Dinwiddie County, about 40 miles south of Richmond. Speed and weather weren’t considered factors.

Molnar said the person who died at the scene was male, but didn’t identify him pending notification of family members.

One of the other nine people on the bus suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital. Police wouldn’t identify those aboard.

Molnar said the passengers exited the bus through the front windshield. Molnar said the bus was one of four traveling together after the singer’s two-show stint Wednesday and Thursday in Long Island, N.Y. The group was heading to Greensboro, N.C., where she is scheduled to perform Sunday.

An Eminem update

DETROIT — Eminem’s comeback year of 2009 was expected to include the release of two new albums. That turned out to be only partially true.

“Relapse,” the Detroit rapper’s first original studio album in more than four years, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in May and eventually went platinum. The plan then was to release a follow-up disc, titled “Relapse 2,” in the second half of the year.

Instead, Eminem and Interscope Records announced Thursday that “Relapse 2” will drop in 2010, and a CD called “Relapse: Refill” will come out Dec. 21. The “Refill” album is a rerelease of “Relapse” and includes seven bonus tracks.
