Omarion

Omarion, in London for Live8, reportedly asked his fans to pray for his safe return home.

London was the scene of carnage on Thursday after a series of deadly blasts but American R&B crooner Omarion, who suffered no injury or inconvenience, wants people to pray for him.

"Omarion was in London during the tragic bombings that struck this morning," a statement by the singer's publicist AR PR Marketing, released hours after the bombings, said. Making no mention of the fatalities or casualties of the blasts, the singer's statement concluded, "He would like his fans to pray that he has a safe trip and a safe return home. He appreciates your support."

His official website denies involvement with the PR firm that released the statement. The PR firm, in turn, has disavowed any relationship to the singer or the press release. What seems clear is that somebody paid PR Newswire $635 to issue the statement. This seems a bit steep for a prank.
