Wow: 2 Men Arrested for Plotting to Rob & Murder Singer Joss Stone!!
I came across this story from Marisa from IFWT, Two men are now behind bars for allegedly conspiring to rob and murder the young singer. Read details after the jump.
The official statements do not name Stone as the target, but the details all focus on the proximity of the men to Stone’s home in Cullompton, England.
The Sun newspaper reports the men had swords, rope and a body bag, as well as maps and aerial photos of Stone’s property. Police have not confirmed the reports.
Stone’s reps say the singer is aware of the situation but would not say if she was at home at the time the men were arrested near her property.
The 2 men are being questioned at a police station, but they have not been charged.
UPDATE: Joss just released a statement saying, “I’d like to thank everyone for their concern but I’m absolutely fine and getting on with life as normal while the police continue with their enquiries.â€

Joell Ortiz Fully Addresses ‘Big Pun Back’ Controversy
After Pun’s widow Liza Rios, Tony Sunshine and Cuban Link disapproved of his tribute, the Slaughterhouse member sets the record straight.
Not only has Big Pun’s widow Liza Rios deemed Joell Ortiz’s “Big Pun’s Back†as “disrespectful,†but Pun affiliates Cuban Link and Tony Sunshine echoed her sentiments yesterday. Speaking with Funkmaster Flex, the Slaughterhouse rapper explained that he “don’t gotta check in with anybody about anything.â€
He first addressed how he was puzzled as to why Rios, who previously told him Pun “would have been so proud of [you],†would take her stance, given the history they have together.
“To be honest with you, I was really confused because I’ve been bigging up her late husband since the beginning of my career. This is not the first time I’ve ever done a tribute,†he said. “To my knowledge, I thought everything was smooth between us. I thought we was peoples. And I kind of feel like we’re still peoples! I’m still confused. This is the same woman who asked me to perform for her husband on stage with his urn next to me. I didn’t understand the tweet and where it was coming from. Since I haven’t spoken to her, I’m still a little confused. I can’t even say I’m mad. I just don’t know what’s going on.â€
