Facundo Cabral, one of Latin America's most beloved folk singers, was shot and killed on Saturday in Guatemala City, reports MSNBC.
The Argentinian musician had been touring the country and was enroute to Guatemala's main airport when men with rifles attacked the vehicle, shooting him at least eight times, and wounding his concert promoter Henry Farina. Cabral died at the scene.
According to firefighters at the scene two black vehicles pulled up and opened fire on the singer's white Range Rover and the beige Chevrolet Tahoe following him, reports MSNBC.
The motive is still unclear but police are investigating whether the shooting was an attempted robbery or a targeted attack.
Ronaldo Robles, a spokesman for Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom, said the leader was "dismayed by this cowardly act," reports BBC.
Cabral's representative, David Llanos, told reporters: "I don't know how and why this happened, because Facundo is well-known around the world and I don't see why anyone would be interested in killing him."
The 74-year-old singer gained notoriety in the early 1970s as a protest singer in Argentina. In 1978 he lost both his wife and infant daughter in a plane crash. His most famous song, "No soy de aqui ni alla" — "I'm Not From Here or There — was recorded about 700 times in 27 languages, reports MSNBC.

Kelly, 31, was photographed clapping as Jeter, 37, became the 28th major league player (and the first New York Yankee) to reach the milestone, which he did by hitting a home run over the left field wall at Yankee Stadium during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The actress, who will appear next in ABC's reboot of "Charlie's Angels," was sitting in a luxury box at the game with Jeter's friends and family, according to People magazine.

A fitting crown for the captain.
With a swift swing of his shiny black bat, Jeter jolted himself into historic company, homering off Tampa Bay ace David Price in the third inning Saturday. He became the 28th major leaguer to hit the milestone and joined former teammate Wade Boggs as the only players to do it with a home run.

Selena Gomez is more well loved than Justin Bieber these days. Unlike the guilt of Casey Anthony, this is a fact.
Gomez has jumped past her boyfriend to claim the digit-one spot on Billboard’s Social 50 list, a ranking that considers the “most committed artists on the world’s leading social networking sites… using a formula blending weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with weekly artist page views and weekly song plays,” according to the company in the rear it.
Bieber does come in at digit-two on the list, at least. Let’s take a look at the top five, shall we?
I don’t know Selena owes Justin a reassuring foot rub now. No matter which order they are in, even if, it’s clear: this couple owns the Internet.

Selena Gomez is Most Popular Gossip teen ABC Analysis Survey Update 9 JUly 2011
It’s been a year since tween sensation Greyson Chance stole Ellen DeGeneres’ heart with his cover of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” and now his debut album is ready for release.
Hold On ‘Til the Night officially hits shelves on August 2, but Chance will be offering fans the opportunity to pre-order a specially packaged version of the CD, including a bonus DVD, during an appearance on QVC this Sunday, July 10. The singer will appear at 10 a.m. ET to perform select songs off the new album, as well.
Hold On ‘Til the Night explores the trials and tribulations of middle school life with tracks including “Unfriend You,” “Heart Like Stone” and “Cheyenne.” It lends itself to easy listening with a solid mixture of slow ballads and head-bobbing beats.
After discovering Chance on YouTube, DeGeneres signed him as the first artist to her newly developed “eleveneleven” record label. She has since signed 16-year old Tom Andrews from the U.K., 11-year old Savannah Robinson and even pop star Jessica Simpson.
Watch the music video for Chance’s lead single below.

Greyson Chance Teams Up With QVC for Album Presale (Video)
Yao Ming has decided to retire after eight seasons in the NBA, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
The Houston Rockets star center reportedly informed the league office within the past two days.
Yao, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, has only played in five games since the 2008-09 season due to injuries.
The 7-foot-6 center became a restricted free agent on July 1.
Yao, 30, suffered a stress fracture to his left ankle back in December. The injury required season-ending surgery.
He averaged 19 points and 9.2 rebounds throughout his career.

Yao Ming Retires: Rockets Center Decides To Retire From NBA
Arlington Fire Department officials said in a statement that another fan nearby tried unsuccessfully to grab the man to keep him from falling. They said the victim's son did not fall.
"We had a very tragic accident tonight and one of our fans lost their life reaching over the rail trying to get a ball," team president Nolan Ryan said. "As an organization, and as our team members and our staff, we're very heavy-hearted about this, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
A very somber Ryan didn't get into details about the accident or release the man's name.
Ronnie Hargis was sitting in the stands at Rangers Ballpark next to the victim. The men were talking to each other before the accident.
"He went straight down. I tried to grab him but I couldn't," Hargis said. "I tried to slow him down a little bit."
TV replays showed the man falling head-first and landing behind a 14-foot-high wall supporting a video board for replays and scores. The area where the man fell is out of sight from the field.
It is the second fatal fall at a MLB ballpark this season. In May, a 27-year-old man died after he fell about 20 feet and struck his head on concrete during the seventh inning of a Colorado Rockies game. Witnesses told police that the man had been trying to slide down a staircase railing at Coors Field and lost his balance during a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The accident in Texas occurred in the second inning after Oakland's Conor Jackson hit a foul ball that ricocheted into left field. Josh Hamilton, the reigning AL MVP, retrieved the ball and tossed it into the stands. Replays on Oakland's television broadcast show the man reaching for the ball and apparently catching it before tumbling.
"We spoke to the ballclub, they understood what has happened and we spoke to Josh," Ryan said. "I think as any of us would be, Josh is very distraught over this, as the entire team is."
The Rangers clubhouse was closed to reporters after the game.
Replays on Oakland's television broadcast show the man reaching for the ball and apparently catching it before falling.
The visitor's bullpen at the stadium is in left-center field. Athletics reliever Brad Ziegler was in tears after the game when he found out the man had died.
"They had him on a stretcher. He said, 'Please check on my son. My son was up there by himself.' The people who carried him out reassured him. 'Sir, we'll get your son, we'll make sure he's OK,'" Ziegler said. "He had his arms swinging. He talked and was conscious. We assumed he was okay. But when you find out he's not, it's just tough."
There was an audible gasp in the stands when the man tumbled over the rail, eerily similar to an accident last July when a man fell about 30 feet from the second-deck of seats down the right-field line while trying to catch a foul ball.
Before the Rangers batted in the second, manager Ron Washington spoke briefly with one of the umpires. Michael Young, who was leading off the inning, could be seen talking to A's catcher Kurt Suzuki and pointing toward the area where the previous accident happened.
Former president George W. Bush was sitting in the front row with Ryan near the Rangers when the accident happened. Ryan left moments later while Bush remained in the seats.
Ryan said the former president, who used to be the team's managing general partner and is a frequent visitor to Rangers games, was aware of what was happening.
Hargis' daughter said the victim's head was bleeding badly.
Safawna Dunn, who was sitting behind the victim, said he appeared to have injuries to both arms and was conscious when taken away on a stretcher.
"Josh Hamilton tried to throw (the ball) up to the guy because they were yelling for the ball," Dunn said.
Last July at Rangers Ballpark, a fan fell 30 feet from the second deck of seats at Rangers Ballpark while trying to catch a foul ball. That fan, Tyler Morris, suffered a fractured skull and sprained ankle.
After Morris was hurt last year, he called the incident a "100 percent, total accident that could have happened to anybody." He said he didn't blame the Rangers or the ballpark.
Ryan said it was too early to talk the two accidents and what evaluations the team might make about railings at the stadium.
"Tonight, we're not prepared to speak about anything further than the accident and the tragedy," Ryan said. "That's where I'm going to leave it."

RAW VIDEO: Casey Anthony's Not Guilty Verdict Read In Murder Trial (07/05/11)
Lawyers are making their closing arguments as the Casey Anthony trial comes to a close.
Anthony, who is accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, broke down during the prosecution's closing statements this morning. Lawyers have argued that mother murdered her young daughter in order to pursue a relationship with her club-promoter boyfriend.
From the AP:
Prosecutor Jeff Ashton said Anthony wanted a relationship with her boyfriend, to go out with her friends and to live the carefree life she had before Caylee's birth."Something needed to be sacrificed, that something was either the life she wanted or the life thrust upon her. She chose to sacrifice her child," Ashton said during his 90-minute argument.
Do you think she's guilty? You can cast your vote as the "13th juror" here.

Selena Gomez had an interview with The Boston Globe, where she talked about her movie Monte Carlo and relationship with boyfriend Justin Bieber.
When asked for her favorite song Justin sings, she had a hard time deciding! “My favorite song changes every day. Right now it’s probably ‘Up’ or ‘Never Let You Go.” she said.
Then the interviewer asked Selena whats her least favorite Justin’s song? and she said:
“I don’t think I’d be a very good friend if I said a least favorite. I don’t think there is a song I don’t like!” Selena answered.
Hmm.. a ‘friend’ ? Are they breaking up? What do you think beliebers?

Instead of going the way of the many pop stars before her and use her sexuality to sell her albums, Disney star Selena Gomez says that’s not the way for her. She even admits to feeling awkward in a bikini!
Her new album, When The Sun Goes Down, has already hit shelves, but don’t look to Selena to sex it up for album sales. In a recent interview with Time, she said, “Of course I’m becoming a woman, and I want to explore that side of myself but at the same time, I have to be true to those people that have been with me.”
She revealed, “I still get awkward if I’m in a bikini so I don’t think I’ll be doing anything too drastic anytime soon.”

Selena Gomez To Use Sex Appeal To Sell Her New Album
Someone better scoop out that Maple Fetus and make room for THE BEEF.
Despite literally risking life and limb for a ride on the Christ Coaster, Selena Gomez apparently goes goo-goo eyed for Shia LaBeouf and doesn’t care who knows it as evidenced by a video of her meeting him backstage at The Today Show that she tweeted to her six million followers. You know, sometimes we forget these are just teenage kids who are just as fickle as my girlfriends at that age who caused me to hate and distrust all women. Granted, I didn’t have enough money to purchase soldiers of fortune and my own island to flee extradition, I’m sure this’ll turn out fine. Because if there’s one thing I know about teenagers, it’s that they make careful, well-thought out decisions with non-permanent consequences. And they love Pogs. Can’t get enough of ‘em.
