Twitter and Facebook

So, it seems we've neglected the Blog. Sorry guys (and gals) we've been a bit busy updating our site and working on other ventures. It seems our twitter account and facebook accounts have taken over. For up-to-date news, visit our Web site at www.meridianstar.com. For up-to-date news bits and promos, visit our tweet at www.twitter.com/meridianstar. For our behind-the-scenes facebook fans page, visit facebook.com and search "The Meridian Star."
Until then, we'll try to reserve our blog for other "unique" content.

Christian Bale apology

No doubt most everyone on the planet has either heard or heard about the tirade by Christian Bale on the set of Terminator Salvation. Anyway, for those of you who feel he needed to; he has apologized. Here is Christian calling in to the Kevin and Bean radio show on KROQ. Not a show I'm familiar with, but here you go.

Leaving her mark

A woman driving through downtown Meridian left her mark – and parts of her car – earlier today.

The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m., when the woman, who was traveling north on 22nd Avenue, hit a tree at the corner of Eighth Street (in front of Percy Bland's campaign headquarters and across from First State Bank), then kept going.

In addition to marks on the tree, the woman – described by an onlooker as a white female driving a black Monte Carlo – left pieces of her car and broke the radiator. A Meridian police officer began following a trail of water up 22nd Avenue in an attempt to locate the woman ... and the rest of her car.
