Review: Back in the early days of his company Full Moon, Charles Band produced and directed a film called Meridian, which was basically an erotic horror take on the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale. Band’s son Alex (you might know him from the hit songs he made with his band The Calling) has said that one of his earliest memories is of being on the set of one of his dad’s movies and seeing “a woman having sex with a giant rat”. That had to be Meridian… and there are more problematic elements to that film than just the idea that little Alex Band was running around on set and seeing things he shouldn’t have seen.

Alex Band of The Calling made headlines in August when he was abducted, robbed, beaten and abandoned on train tracks in Michigan after a music festival. After the incident, the singer's bandmates organized a search party for him, found him and took him to a local hospital. Now, in a twist, Band has filed a lawsuit against Aaron Kamin, who has played lead guitar with the group that made it big with the single, "Wherever You Go," and split up in 2005.

In 2008, the 24-year-old waitress/amateur journalist traveled to Somalia in search of life-changing war-zone scoops, only to be taken captive on her third day in the country. Amanda is now telling the story of her horrific 15-month captivity in shocking, in-depth detail.
Amanda Lindhout, 29, may be on the heels of the release of her memoir, A House in the Sky (out Sept. 10), but four short years ago it looked doubtful that she would ever live another day. After Amanda, who was really just a waitress from Canada, naively wandered into the dangerous war zone of Somalia, Africa with her Australian ex-boyfriend, Nigel Brennan, the two were taken captive and tortured viciously by a group of revolutionaries. The tale that follows is truly breathtaking and terrifying.

"When I auditioned for 'The Real World,' I got peed on by a puppy at the airport, I lost my luggage ... and then they called and said, 'Oh, you're on "The Real World, Season 20!" ' " Taylor told MTV News. Then, right before her Universal Records audition, she was caught in an icky crossfire. "I was walking in with my old guitarist Brendan. He sneezed, and a booger flew back and hit me in my arm," Taylor giggled. Ten minutes after her audition, Universal called to say they wanted to add her to their roster.
