1. Lana Del Rey's backpack containing new music and book was stolen

Remember that feeling when your computer would crash before you'd saved your term paper in Microsoft Word? Well, multiply that by about a thousand, and you can understand what Lana Del Rey is going through. The singer has revealed someone broke into her car and stole her computer, three camcorders, and hard drives, on which she had new music and 200 pages of a book she was writing for Simon & Schuster. "I had to remotely wipe the computer that had my 200-page book," she said, noting she didn't have it backed up. "Despite that, people are still able this week to remotely access my phone and leak our songs and personal photos," she added, urging fans not to listen to any leaked music they might see online. Del Rey also explained she now has to "start over" on the book. Making matters worse? It turns out the project she was working on was ghostwriting The Winds of Winter. Oh well, back to page one!
