Two members of popular Japanese pop group AKB48 were injured after a fan attacked them with a saw.

Rina Kawaei, and Anna Iriyama, 18, were meeting with fans in the northern city of Takizawa on Sunday when a man lunged forward and slashed them with a saw.

They received cysts on their hands and heads according to recent reports. A male staff member was also cut on his hand. The police later arrested the 24-year-old man, identified as Satoru Umeta.

A Tokyo concert scheduled for Monday night was later cancelled due to the recent attack.

AKB48, which was founded in 2005, is hugely popular in Japan and other Asian countries.

The group currently holds the Guinness Book of World Records for being the world’s largest pop group.

AKB stands for Akihabara, the technology district of Tokyo, where the group has its own theatre. Members perform there almost every day.

The number 48 reportedly refers to the original number of members in the group, although it has since expanded.

The current line-up on the group’s website, spread over four main teams and other smaller ones, lists 140 names.

Every year tens of thousands of fans vote on who gets to join the group from a pool of more than 200 candidates, in an event that is widely covered by national media.

After the recent incident it is very understandable that Miley Cyrus would file a restraining order against a crazed fan.

‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ Movie will bring back your childhood nightmares to the big screen.

Many kids growing up in the 1980’s and 1990’s can remember the frightening stores, “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” and according to recent reports, the book is being made into a movie.

Deadline.com has recently reported that CBS Films has accepted the plans from “Saw” writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to transform the short stories into a movie that centers on a group of outcast kids who work to save the town when their nightmares come true.

So get prepared for your favorite stories such as “The Dead Man’s Hand,” “The Hook,” and “The Big Toe”  to return after all these years.

What made the book so scary was in part due to the illustrator Stephen Gammell, so hopefully the movie will incorporate the haunting visions of the illustrator.

The author, Alvin Schwartz wrote three “Scary Storie” editions,e ash released between 1981 and 1991. The stories were backed on urban legends, and folklore.

There is no word yet on who will star in the movies, nor who will direct the feature film.

What do you think about the new movie? Do you think the writers of “Saw” can create a horrifying feature film with so many short stories? Should this be a kids film or a major production? Share with us your thoughts in the comments below!

Your State’s most popular unique google search is probably super embarrassing.

There is one search term that your state Googles more than any other state in the country and unless you live in Maine or Tennessee, it is most likely extremely embarrassing.

Estately recently created a graphic that compiled all of these unique searches, which range from the akward “Do I have Herpes” in Texas to “Conjugal Visits” in Arizona.

I guess Massachusetts does not have much to worry about since they are too busy Googling “Canadian men”.

Don’t forget about “Butt Implants” in Georgia.

So, the next time you are debating between moving to Los Angeles or Georgia for the next film production, keep in mind a majority of the people are either thinking about “Butt Implants” or “Meat is Murder”.

Toni Braxton dropped a few hits in her new memoir, but one of the largest bombshells she said is her belief that god gave her 11-year-old son autism because she once had an abortion.

Ton Braxton in her new memoir, Unbreak My Heart, discusses an abortion she had in 2001 and writes that her guilt over her procedure was due to her deeply religious upbringing.

“I was suddenly faced with a choice I’d never thought I’d have to make. Amid my major misgivings about abortion, I eventually made the gut-wrenching decision… In my heart, I believed I had taken a life — an action that I thought God might one day punish me for. … My initial rage was quickly followed by another strong emotion: guilt. I knew I’d taken a life… I believed God’s payback was to give my son autism.”

Toni Braxton later argues and puts the blame on vaccinations, writing “Maybe it’s just a coincidence that after my son’s first MMR vaccine, I began to notice changes in him.”

Braxton would later state in an interview with People Magazine, saying she was punished for having an abortion. But, realized there is nothing wrong with her child. “He just learns differently.”

College Freshman was outed as a porn actress and later commits suicide.

Nineteen-year-old Alyssa Funke, a freshman at the University of Wisonconsin-Riverfalls, bought a shotgun, and killed herself on April 14th.

Students at her former high school publicly outed her as the star of a “casting couch” porn video, and her parents say the online harassment contributed to her suicide.

According to reports, Alyssa Funke was a straight-A student, and did her first and only porn video for the website CastingCouchX, earlier this year. She used the fake name Stella Ann and talked with the camera man about high school, college, and sports.

After the video premiered, Funke started receiving hateful and nasty Twitter and Facebook messages from her former high school classmates in Minnesota. Many of the messages involved calling her a slut and worse.

Her two final tweets she writes, “Famous for dayzzzzz,” and “Pornstar Status”.

Alyssa Funke’s parents said she suffered from depression, but they believe the harassment is what put her over the edge and played a role in her decision to kill herself.

On a fundraiser page that the parents of Alyssa started, they wrote  “Alyssa like so many other teens was a victim of bully and sadly the bullying lead to her death. Social media has revolutionized the way people bully eachother now days. Now you can say whatever you want and not have to look the person in the face while doing it.”

A sad part of this story is that the fundraising page only received $125 dollars in donations.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the circumstance of Funke’s death.

“Everyone’s happy to be back together, so it’s been pretty great and everybody’s bringing their A game still, 5 years in. We’re doing new and different and crazy and exciting things and now I think the atmosphere is that we can’t wait until we can start sharing things with people and start showing things to people because we’re really excited about what we’re doing here. We think we’re making another magical season.” [Entertainment Weekly]

Kirkman also points out that there are going to be a ton of cliffhanger episodes and surprises. So much so, that they have increased secrecy on set. “Just because any images that get out of any kind of things that are seen do in a sense spoil that cliffhanger, so we’re trying to keep things a little more tight this time around.”

The Walking Dead‘s creator commented on how Season 4 was somewhat slow as the group was separated and there was a focus on the individual stories of each of the characters. But, he points out that the possibility of cannibals in Terminus, will definitely heighten the suspense for season 5. He argues that what makes The Walking Dead so great is that the show will slow down for periods of time and then out of nowhere things will speed up keeping the audience on guard.
