American Idol 2014 Result: Say Goodbye to MK Nobilette

Considering how badly MK Nobilette had stumbled during her performance of Pink's "Perfect" on "American Idol" this week – losing her grip on the melody and lyrics mid-song and never quite recovering – and the fact that she'd landed in the bottom three twice before, the outcome of Thursday night's results show was perfectly predictable: The voters sent her home.

For a moment there, after she'd consulted with Rickey Minor and the band, returned to her mark, and sung her final song, John Legend's "All of Me," it looked as if the judges might use their one save of the season to keep the San Francisco 20-year-old, "Idol's" first openly gay contestant, on the show. Jennifer Lopez seemed especially reluctant to let her go, gazing beseechingly at Harry Connick Jr. 

Eventually, though, Connick leaned into the mic and delivered the bad news. A save "has to be unanimous, and it is not unanimous," he said. "It breaks our heart, but we have to say goodbye to you."  Read more

BREAKING (3:05pm): Salient points from the Prime Minister's statement given at the press conference:
1. New data shows last confirmed location was Saturday, 8 March at 8.11AM which indicate how far the plane has flown.
2. Based on new satellite communication data, we can say with a high degree of certainty that the Aircraft Communications, Addressing and Reporting System or ACARS, was disabled just before the aircraft reached the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
3. Shortly aftewards, near the border between Malaysia and Vietnamese air traffic control, the aircraft transponder was switched off.
4. From this point onwards, the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s primary radar showed that an aircraft, believed to be (but not confirmed to be) MH370, did indeed turn back.
5. It then flew back over Peninsular Malaysia, before turning northwest into the Straits of Malacca, up until the point at which it left military primary radar coverage.
6. The PM also said that plane movement was consistent with "deliberate action" by someone on the plane.
7. There will be refocused investigation into the crew and passengers on board.
8. Despite news reports that investigators concluded it was a hijacking, PM Najib said "I wish to be very clear we are still investigating all possibilities as to what caused MH370 to deviate from its original flight path." Hijacking is not ruled out, however.
9. Based on the direction in which the plane flew, the plane could have headed in one of two possible corridors:
- Northern corridor: border of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan to Northern Thailand.
- Southern corridor: From Indonesia to Southern Indian Ocean.
9. Operations in the South China Sea will be ended and deployment of assets will be reassessed.
10. Malaysia Airlines is informing families of the passengers of the new developments.

Comedian David Brenner Dies at 78

Comedian and Tonight Show legend David Brenner died Saturday at the age of 78, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Brenner died peacefully at his home in NYC surrounded by his family at his side," his longtime publicist Jeff Abraham said in a statement.

A favorite guest of Johnny Carson's, Brenner holds the record for the most Tonight Show appearances, going on the show 158 times. The Philadelphia comedian even guest-hosted the talk show a few times.

Brenner wrote, directed or produced 115 TV documentaries before landing his first paid stand-up gig in 1969. He went on to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show, Late Show and The Daily Show. Brenner even married his wife, Elizabeth Slater, during an HBO special, David Brenner: Back with a Vengeance!, though their marriage only lasted a year.

Brenner also wrote five books, including 2003's I Think There's a Terrorist in My Soup: How to Survive Personal and World Problems With Laughter -- Seriously.
He is survived by his sons Slade, Wyatt, whom he had with Slater, son Cole, whom he had with an ex, and grandson Wesley.

Nora Danish nafi sambut hari jadi di kelab malam

Pelakon jelita, Nora Danish menafikan dakwaan yang mengatakan dia menyambut hari jadinya yang ke-32 di sebuah kelab malam di Bandar Utama, Selangor dan telah berjaya meloloskan diri apabila kelab malam tersebut diserbu pihak berkuasa.

"Saya tidak pernah berselindung malah apa jua aktiviti termasuk sambutan hari jadi saya yang ke-32 pada 7 Mac lalu juga saya ada muat naik di laman sosial Instagram saya.

"Gambar-gambar yang dimuat naik itu jelas menunjukkan saya menyambut hari jadi di sebuah restoran sebab ada meja makan dan setiap meja makan juga tertera nama para jemputan.

"Justeru, sekali lagi ingin saya tegaskan, ia bukan diraikan di kelab malam seperti yang disebarkan di laman-laman sosial," katanya kepada Kosmo!

Ibu kepada seorang anak itu menjadi bualan ramai apabila dia dikatakan telah menyewa sebuah bilik bernilai RM5,000 di sebuah kelab malam mewah untuk meraikan hari jadinya bersama teman, namun sempat meloloskan diri sebaik pihak berkuasa menyerbu premis yang tidak berlesen itu.
