Sad! Malaysia Airlines

This is not good at all. A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 carrying 239 people lost contact over the South China Sea on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, raising fears that the plane might have plunged into the pacific ocean.

The plane, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members, lost communication two hours into the flight in Vietnam's airspace at 1.20am local time, China's official Xinhua News Agency reports.

The aircraft left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing 12: 11 am on Friday and had been expected to arrive China at 6:30 am but lost contact with traffic controllers over the South China Sea between Malaysia and Vietnam.

Passengers were from 14 countries, including 153 from China, 38 from Malaysia, seven Australians and four Americans.

Search & rescue have begun and families and next of kin of passengers and crew have been notified. The last time a plane went missing like this, the plane, an Air France aircraft, was eventually found in the Atlantic Ocean, resulting in the deaths of 228 people. This was in 2009. This is not good.

Bieber and Selena Gomez -- Screw Banging

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez got hot and sweaty for a few hours Friday afternoon in Texas ... and they even had someone watch -- but it wasn't the cuckold you're imagining.J.B. and Selena hit up Action Dance Studio in McAllen, TX yesterday after their coffee date ...  spending 2 hours in a private rehearsal space  with a choreographer.The door was covered with a plastic mat during the sesh ... and security stood guard. The owner says the couple seemed "really close and into each other."What we don't know ... why there were in a dance studio.  BTW ... the rich really do get richer ... they didn't pay the studio a dime.
