Pilot killed in Nashville crash listed Taylor Swift as next of kin

Taylor Swif. The pilot of a small, private plane that crashed and burned at Nashville International Airport several weeks ago listed Taylor Swift as his next of kin, according to a report in The Tennessean.
“The first we heard of this was when the appropriate authorities contacted Taylor’s management about the crash,” Swift’s publicist told the newspaper in an email. “Taylor does not know this person.”
Authorities are still trying to piece together the details of the Oct. 29 crash that killed Michael Callan, according to The Tennessean.
The plane was attempting to land in dense fog that required reliance on instruments alone, according a preliminary report.
The crash went unnoticed despite the plane catching fire.
An initial review of air traffic control information provided to NTSB by the Federal Aviation Administration showed no communication between air traffic controllers and Callan.
The plane was registered to the Windsor Flying Club in Ontario, Canada, and a flight plan listed Callan's destination airport as Pelee Island, also in Ontario. He did not file any additional flight plans.

Avril Lavigne Is Still the ‘Motherfreaking Princess’ of Pop

“I’m still the motherfreaking princess!”
In the bratty voice that, for much of a decade, made her the defiant figurehead of an army of teens who preferred the pop that soundtracked their growing pains be tinged with a little punk-rock danger, Avril Lavigne declares that she still wears the crown. The lyric comes on “Rock N Roll,” the first track on her new album Avril Lavigne. It’s the Canadian songstress’s aggressively weird, epically catchy fifth album. It also might be her best yet.
Much has changed since 2002. Back then, the 17-year-old paired a necktie with a white tank top and sold nearly 17 million copies of her debut album, Let Go, on the backs of edgy pop singles “Complicated,” “Sk8er Boi,” and “I’m With You.” Today she’s on her second marriage, this time to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. Albums three and four were commercial disappointments. Katy Perry’s zeroed in on the market for screw-the-haters hooks, while the baton’s been passed to Miley Cyrus to lead the movement of petulant provocation. Oh yeah, and the singing teenage rebel herself? She’s closing in on 30 years old.
“I’m wearing a dress!” Lavigne boasts, lounging on a plush couch in a Manhattan hotel. “I wouldn’t have done this ten years ago.”
It’s fitting that Avril Lavigne is the singer’s first self-titled album—rare when an artist is already five records in—as it so glaringly scores the tension that comes when a person reaches this age. Surely there has to be something deeper to the self-titling than the reason Lavigne offers up: “I couldn’t really figure out a name.”
The opening half of the album is shamelessly nostalgic. The raucous and addicting “Rock N Roll” channels teenage Avril, serving up the challenge: “What if you and I put a middle finger to the sky and let them feel like we are rock and roll?” After dabbling with moody doom and gloom on so much of her last disc, Goodbye Lullaby, the radio-ready “Here’s to Never Growing Up” has her comfortably back as troubadour of teenage rabble-rousing. “We’ll be running down the street yelling, ‘Kiss my ass!’/ I’m like yeah, whatever, we’re living like that,” she sings, sounding like Taylor Swift, had the country starlet ever dared sneak whiskey from her parents’ liquor cabinet.

Avril Lavigne on Growing Up and Staying Young

Avril lavigne's spunky charm and free spirit have made her pop music's bratty boy-basher for over a decade. Her 2002 debut, Let Go, catapulted the Canadian native as the good-girl-gone-punk with teen girl anthems like "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi," a voice apart in a sea of homogenous pop tarts.
Now 29 and recently married to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, Lavigne is looking to reclaim her position in the pop echelon with her new album. Avril Lavigne finds the singer revisiting her comfort zone but treading mature ground. "We're never gonna change . . . We'll stay forever young," she sings on the Peter Pan-esque "Here's to Never Growing Up."

Harry Styles ‘dating’ Kendall Jenner

he One Direction heartthrob, 19, and the 18-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star were spotted driving off together after enjoying dinner in each other’s company. But while such an event would ordinarily provoke a virtual torrent of abuse by 1D fans, the news has so far been met with apparent approval.
‘Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner!!? IMAGINE THEIR BABIES,’ one pleased fan said on Twitter, clearly already planning what wedding hat to wear.
‘Don’t know if I’m more jealous of Harry Styles or Kendall Jenner?!’ another added – infatuated with both parties.
‘KENDALL JENNER HAS IT ALL. YOUTH  BEAUTY, MONEY, AND NOW HARRY STYLES. EXCELLENT,’ said a third, while another gave full approval, stating: ‘I so want Kendall Jenner and Harry to date.’
However Kim Kardashian’s younger sister perhaps shouldn’t feel too relaxed just yet after the apparent ‘date’.
‘I love Kendall Jenner but if she dated any of the boys I would find her and I would kill her,’ one disgruntled Twitter fan said.
Do you think Harry and Kendall should
