Artists urge Guatemala security after singer dies (AP)

MEXICO CITY – Musicians and artists are canceling performances and demanding increased security in Guatemala after a visiting Argentine folk singer was shot to death.

The director of an upcoming telethon in Guatemala says several artists on the Sony label have canceled their spots in the event citing security concerns.

Juan Carlos Eggenberger says none of the musicians specifically cited the slaying of Facundo Cabral, but says there has been a "general anxiety" among artists since the killing.

Insecurity has been on the rise in Guatemala as Mexican drug cartels compete for turf and challenge authorities.

Guatemalan officials believe the intended target of the attack that killed Cabral was a Nicaraguan businessmen in the same car.

'Scared' Denise Richards Ups Security After Charlie Sheen's 'Vile' Attack

Denise Richards is taking no chances when it comes to protecting herself and her daughters following Charlie Sheen's "vile" public attack on her, with sources telling me the 'Starship Troopers' beauty has "increased her security" at home.

"Denise and her girls live a simple life," an insider tells me. "She wants Sam and Lola to have normal lives, but after the recent threats and verbal attacks, she has increased her security. When you are dealing with a mad man, it's better to be safe than sorry."
We became aware of the most recent attacks from Charlie via Twitter, when he called Denise a "traitor and loser whore" and accused her of stealing his dogs. Friends of the pair tell me the hate isn't new, however -- it's been going on for months.

"How Denise has managed to keep all this secret for so long is a miracle," a friend of the former couple tells me. "If Charlie is willing to put those evil tweets out in public, you can only imagine what he has called Denise in private."

All of this started after Denise refused to allow Charlie to use their daughters as a photo opportunity in a TV interview he set up after his two sons with Brooke Mueller were removed from his custody last month. Since then, he has been on the attack, and it doesn't look like it will end any time soon.

"Denise has learned how to deal with the name calling, but once you start tweeting pictures of yourself with knives and saying you wished someone would die it's a totally different game," the pal says. "Denise is no longer angry -- she's scared."
