Lindsay Lohan Remembers 9/11

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are paying tribute to those who perished in the 9/11 NYC attacks seven years ago today.

“I am in New York and I would like to remind everybody to take a moment today for those lost in tragedy that occurred on 9/11/01," Lohan blogs.

Ronson adds that "waking up in NYC this morning, seven years later ... feels like just yesterday this city and our worlds were turned upside down."

Ronson recalls what it was like witnessing the attacks.

"Never in my lifetime had I ever believed that I would see such horror - the kind that you see in documentaries set in far off places and read about in text books," she writes.

"Never in my life had I ever thought that I would wake up and fall asleep afraid, watching things on television that felt like a film, walking through a city that felt like a war zone," she goes on.

Adds Ronson, "There were army vehicles on Houston Street, barricades dividing neighborhoods and lines around the block of people waiting to donate blood -- set in front of a backdrop of smoke, filling a space where two of the largest buildings once stood.

"Two buildings that shaped one of the most famous skylines in this country, or in the world... seven years later, and I will never forget," she writes.

"I don’t really know what to say," she says. "To all those we lost, we will never forget, and never take for granted, the sacrifices that you made."

Metallica album hits shops early

Metallica's new album Death Magnetic has gone on sale in the UK ahead of its planned release.

The metal band's hotly anticipated 12th album was due out on Friday.

But their record label Vertigo is believed to have told shops to go ahead and sell it early after some retailers broke the sales embargo.

Zavvi's flagship store on London's Oxford Street started selling it on Wednesday, while HMV also said it was now available in its stores.

An HMV spokesman said: "We were advised yesterday by the label that because it's been leaked quite heavily, they should bring forward its physical release and allow retailers to merchandise it.

"That was the communication we received and we've responded to that. I'd imagine it's a similar picture across the whole of retail."

There is no suggestion that HMV or Zavvi broke the sales embargo.

Music Week magazine reported that more than 2,500 copies of the album had been sold on CD by the end of Wednesday.

A spokeswoman for the band said Friday was still the official release date. Representatives for Vertigo were unavailable to comment.

Death Magnetic may now have the edge in the battle for the number one spot this Sunday.

Its main rival is the self-titled debut album by Glaswegian rockers Glasvegas.
