Throwback ThursdayGuess Who This Toothless Boy Turned Out To Be?
He is currently one of the few most powerful men in the world!
Barack Hussein Obama II - US President
His rise to power will remain one of the most historic events on earth and his charismatic nature could probably get him through anything in life.
Barack Hussain Obama II is currently the 44th president of America and he is a married man -to Michelle Obama - and a great dad to his daughters - Sasha and Malia Obama.
Many
consider him a demi-god given the history of his struggle to power and
his determination to bring change to America and to the rest of the
world.
Some of his ideologies could be
questionable like haters thought of his originality, but the Kenyan man
has stood the test of time and got himself re-elected into the white
House.
Barack was born August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He became a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review.
He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination. He then defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his election, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Obama was re-elected president in November 2012, defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2013. During his second term, Obama has promoted domestic policies related to gun control in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Long Live Obama!
Don't Judge!Comedian Wale Gates Says 21-Year Old Boy Who Killed His Father Snapped After Constant Abuse
Don't Judge!Comedian Wale Gates Says 21-Year Old Boy Who Killed His Father Snapped After Constant Abuse
Wale Gates comes out in defence of the 21-year old Redeemers Universitystudent who killed his father
Comedian, Wale Gates has come out to make a case for the 21-year
old Redeemers University student, Tolani Ajayi who killed his father.
It
would be recalled that a few days ago, news broke about a 21-year old
student who killed his father after an argument with him turned horribly
wrong. The boy was reported to have stabbed his father with a knife
before hacking him to pieces with a machete.
On the heels of the
report, Wale Gates said while he's not justifying what the boy did, he
may have been a victim of continuous physical abuse by his father which
led him to snap and kill his father. He further stated that he himself
had been in a similar situation years ago and Tolani's reaction to his
father's lashing out at him was not unlike an abused wife who snaps after many years of abuse.
Wale who took to his Twitter account to make his position on the situation known stated that many times African parents cross the line between discipline and abuse.
Check out his tweets above.

Nollywood actor, John Okafor (Mr Ibu) in an interview with econium Weekly, voiced out his disapproval of Ibinabo Fiberesima‘s second term ambition as President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
In the interview, Mr John stated that there has been no progress since she got into office.
‘It
is better for her not to come again. She should leave the office and
allow another person to try. No progress at all. I am not part of it.
Ibinabo has about two to three court cases. We are tired, we want
another person.
We
should try a new person, let’s see what he or she would do. About 90% of
the people she is ruling say no, but she insisted’ Mr Ibu said.

Super Crush Juliet Ibrahim Wants A Piece Of Iyanya
Ghanaian actress and producer, Juliet Ibrahim, who recently announced her separation from her husband, Kwadwo Safo,
has come out to quench rumours that she is actually in a relationship
with Nigerian actor, IK Ogbonna, an affair which many pointed out as
being responsible for her marriage break up.
When
IK Ogbonna posted a video on Youtube begging Juliet to stay with him,
sharing photos of their intimate moments, with the words:
When u realize u are only human … And ur mistakes shouldn’t define u but build u. I am sorry is not just a word ..
It’s a realization that brings alive a new creation if it’s meant.
Many
felt the two were in a relationship even while she was still married
but just a few days later, her publicist came out to say that she had been divorced for a long time but because of the child that was between her and her estranged husband, she had decided to keep the separation under wraps.
But
in a recent interview, she was asked whether she is in a relationship
since she is divorced but she replied that though she is single, she is
not in any relationship and is not searching for any.
I am not into any relationship at the moment. I am single, but not searching.
So where does this leave our own IK Ogbonna?

Nigeria's most known and vocal transgender, Iris Sahhara Henson, who now goes by the name Misss Sahhara, is set to represent Nigeria in a world beauty pageant where participants will be women who were men before undergoing surgery.
The
competition called Super Siyeryna of eat Bulaga, will hold sometime
this year in the Philippines, and Miss Sahara took to her Facebook page to announce she would be Nigeria's sole representative at the competition.
She
also reeled out what would be her focus if she wins, including
advocating and teaching Nigerians about gender issues, how to live with a
transgender and why Nigerians who are not comfortable with how they
were created should take to the knife to change their sex.
I
will do all my best to teach people more about transgender issues, who
we are and where we come from because there is this huge misconception
around the issues that surrounds transgender people.
We
are not to be afraid of. We are not immoral. We are human beings, we
have blood running in our vein and we pray you give us the chance and
understanding and love that you give your fellow human beings because we
are one of you.
Please Don’t Crash My Wedding, Even If You Are Famous
By Georgette Eva for Famously
Serena Williams
Tennis player Serena Williams gate crashed
a normal schmo's beach wedding in Malibu this weekend, and to show that
she cared (sort of) she posted a pic of her and the seemingly surprised
bride and groom on her Instagram. Serena remarked on the occasion with
"Wedding Crasher!! Congrats!" under the photo, meaning she knew she did
something wrong and that she's congratulating herself for doing it.
Well, okay, she's really congratulating the couple, but wearing pants or
maybe not crashing their big day would've been better. Preferred even.
Why do famous people think this is okay to do? Fine, I admit that it was pretty neat when Bill Murray showed up at a bachelor party or when Taylor Swift crashed that bridal shower, and apparently it was just so darn gracious of the Ghostbusters
actor to make a funny speech and for the pop star to bring the bride a
KitchenAid Mixer. But you know what? Those aren't gifts. They don't make
up for the attention you took away from me. That's underhanded thievery
and good PR at my expense. You, Celebrities, are stealing my thunder
for personal viral marketing. You don't get to enjoy your own secret wedding and use mine for publicity. You can't have my wedding cake and your wedding cake and eat it too.
Because you see, Celebrities, in the same way that you don't want to
be bothered by fans while you do normal things like eat dinner, I don't
want to be bothered by your limelight when I'm enjoying my big day -
whatever big day that is (ie: wedding, first day at a new job, getting
tile 2048 after endless hours of playing 2048). It's my time to shine. I
get one day to feel special and beautiful and famous. You get the rest
of them. That's how the world works. You can't take mine too, even if
you are pretty.
Because you guys are pretty, Celebrities. You live in a world where
each follicle of hair is in place on your well shaped head. You are
entitled to skip lines at the club and you get first dibs on that life
boat seat because your name has trended on Twitter and you've been on
the cover of magazines before. Beautiful people like you do fun things
like go to award shows, and people hound you for photographs. Naturally,
a perk of being so well-known should be an all-access pass to a normal,
non-famous person's wedding (via gate crashing), but it's just not
cool, Celebrities. As a normal, I implore you to think twice before you
do it.
You're entitled to many things, but you're not entitled to my wedding
or shower or party. I liked you better in that thing. You know, when
you starred in that thing with the scenes and the lines and the
acting. Or that time you played that sport or walked a red carpet for a
movie premiere. That's where you belong.
You know what I didn't enjoy you in? That time when you rudely
interrupted my wedding wearing a bathing suit, making a spectacle and
stealing my moment. That's a role both of us could've done without.
This Dad Pummeled An 11-Year-Old Kid For Bullying His 9-Year-Old Autistic Son
Autistic Student's Father Attacks Son's Bully On Richmond School Bus
This Dad Pummeled An 11-Year-Old Kid For Bullying His 9-Year-Old Autistic Son
A
furious father escorted his 9-year-old autistic son onto a school bus
late last week and proceeded to beat up an 11-year-old kid who had
allegedly been bullying the boy.
The incident occurred on Friday morning in the Bay Area suburb of Richmond, Calif., reports CBS San Francisco.
Police say the assailant, Burnis Hurd got on the bus with his son. Then, his son identified the boy who had been bullying him.
“The father grabbed the 11-year old by the hair, pulled hard and
raised the child out of his seat, then shoved him on the side of the bus
where the window meets the wall,” Richmond Police Lt. Mark Gagan told
CBS San Francisco.
Police say Hurd, 44, also warned that he would kill the 11-year-old
boy and also threatened some other kids on the bus for good measure.
The melee was not captured on videotape and the bus driver didn’t get
involved. In fact, the bus driver never even bothered to report the
incident. Instead, the 11-year-old kid informed the principal at Wilson
Elementary School in Richmond, where both children are enrolled in a
special education program.
The alleged bully ended up with a cheek abrasion and a gashed earlobe.
Hurd ended up in jail. He has been charged with child abuse and
bodily injury to a child. As on Monday, he remained in jail pending a
$50,000 bond.
The 11-year-old boy’s aunt and guardian, Shanika Moses, said she
wants the mad dad “prosecuted to the fullest,” according to CBS.
Hurd might have
fared infinitesimally better several hours down the road in the Los
Angeles suburb of Carson City, where the city council narrowly rejected
an ordinance that would have made bullying by children as young as
5-years-old a crime punishable by misdemeanor charges and fines of $100.
(RELATED: Nanny State Run Amok: Police Will Now Ticket, Charge 5-Year-Olds For Bullying)
The ordinance, which went down by a single vote, would have
prohibited everyone over the age of five from making another person feel
“terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or
molested.”

Red carpet style darling Lupita Nyong'o,
in electric blue eyeshadow and a bouffant hairstyle, also wore a unique
look. The patterned Suno crop top and below-the-knee trousers marked a
significant departure from her solid-colored column dresses that
dominated her 2014 awards show appearances. "It's always changing," the
Oscar winner (and just-announced Star Wars: Episode VII star) told Us Weekly at the bash of her style evolution.
PHOTOS: Lupita's best red carpet looks
Fellow Oscar winner Marion Cotillard opted
for an eye-catching Dior Haute Couture shift with Dior shoes and a Dior
Fine Jewelry ring and watch. The embroidered white silk dress was
designed by Raf Simons, the evening's recipient for International Award.

on top of slicked, parted hair and a vampy lip.

To be held alongside the “Here Africa” art exhibition organised by Art for the World (AFTW), Africa Fashion Show Geneva will be taking center stage at the end of May, 2014.
“The Africa Fashion Show Geneva aims
to create awareness and elevate the perception of African designs,
bring African fashion to the rest of the world, as well as facilitate
access to foreign markets, allowing for multicultural and cross-border
arts promotion” said Tayo Omotola, CEO of Crucible Events.

African fashion on an exclusive runway, a display of African art and
performance by UK-based Grammy award winner and former Rose Royce lead singer, Gwen Dickey (aka Rose Norwalt).

African fashion, Tayo added, “Since the 20th century, the progress
made in the fashion industry has been phenomenal. Despite the myriad of
challenges facing Africa, the fashion industry has tremendous growth
potential to improve unemployment and empower the youth with a

Chris Brown To Remain In Jail

The RNB singer Chris Brown, who is accused of hitting a man outside a hotel in Washington
D.C. in October, was scheduled to stand trial on Wednesday, April 23
will be staying in jail bit longer. According to NBC4 reports, the trial
has been delayed and no specific date was set. Brown's
bodyguard Christopher Hollosy, who was arrested for an assault charge
along with the super star, was found guilty in a separate trial earlier
this week and his sentencing is scheduled for June 25. Hollosy, who is
scheduled to testify in Brown's case, refused to testify out of fear of
self-incrimination because he planned to appeal his own conviction. But
the prosecutors did not grant Hollosy's request for immunity because
they believe he might lie. The appeal may take months. Chris
Brown's legal team in Los Angeles sought to be release on bail or his
own recognizance on Wednesday, but the judge said he would stay in
custody. He will be traveling to the city with the method of transport
called "Con-Air" alongside other prisoners. A May 1 court session has
been set to determine whether the judge will release him or not. "I
think it's a little over the top to have him in custody on this
misdemeanor when everybody saw the bodyguard's trial and which was
nothing more than a bloody nose," Brown's attorney Mark Geragos said in
Washington, as quoted by CNN. "And you have got the bodyguard who was
convicted and who readily admitted he was the one who did the punching.
So all of this is much ado about nothing."

The 10 Dumbest Things Kanye West Has Said About Kim
Kimye is on the cover of 'Vogue'!
Kanye, I'm going to let you finish, but Beyoncé knows way more about love than you do.
Kimye was on the cover of Vogue this month and continued to prove that they literally have nothing valuable to say.
Remember when the media blacklisted Heidi and Spencer and the world became a better place?
I think it's time for round two because, really, Kanye only makes
arrogant and narcissistic statements and — sorry, Anna Wintour — it's
time we stop caring about anything Kimye has to say. Not only does
Yeezus consider himself to be a god among men, but here are 10 quotes
that prove his ignorance when it comes to love and dating.
1. "All barber shops, fashion
designers, architects, corner stores, Wall Street, all over the world:
Y'all acting like this ain't the most beautiful woman of all time! I'm
talkin', like, arguably of human existence — the top 10 of human
existence."
2. "I felt like our love story is like, a love story for the ages. I felt like when we first got together, it was like a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing, where it's like … she's a reality star, and I'm a rapper."
3. "Kim is Marilyn Monroe, you know that. She was controversial. She is controversial."
4. "She's like the most intriguing woman right
now. She's got Barbara Walters calling her like every day… Michelle
Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other
day."
5. "I feel like the type of girl I would be with
is a fellow superhero. So we get that 'already flying and now we're
just flying together.'"
6. "I loved her from the first day I saw her, which I said on "Bound" … I remember seeing pictures of her and Paris Hilton in Australia, and I came to Don C., and I was like, 'Man, have you ever seen Kim Kardishawn? What's up with Kim Kardishawn?'"
7. "There's times when I wasn't with [Kim], I wanted to be with her so bad I thought about taking up sports."
8. "There's no way a Kim Kardashian shouldn't have a star on the [Hollywood] Walk of Fame. Everyone is so dated and old-fashioned."
Tumblr
9. "Kim is like a fantasy, period. She's like a dream girl. And I think a dream girl should live in a dream world."
Perez Hilton
10. "[on his and Kim's relationship] It's really
interesting that we're on the front lines of a few different concepts
at the same time. You've got the interracial thing; you have mega-media
and mega-art crash; you have, you know, the Vogue-and-reality show combination. There's a lot of new frontiers being broken in 2014."

elevated from ‘not too comfortable background’ to the present status.
“Inspire 101 is a compilation of my original quotes, is a peep through the window of my soul,” the author concluded.
The
Imo State-born entertainer was raised in Aba, Abia State. Iheme was the
last kid in a family of five, four boys and a girl. In 2002-2003 he

Beyonce Biography
Beyonce Knowles is multi-talented and multi-awesome!
Aside from being beautiful, she can sing and act pretty well, too. Not a
shabby dancer. Did we mention she's gorgeous? And married to Jay-Z? And
is the world's hottest mom?
Okay we'll stop gushing, but it's basically all kind of totally true.
On the singing side, she got her start as part of the singing group Destiny's Child, then launched a hugely successful solo career.
As an actress, Beyonce anchored films such as Dreamgirls and Cadillac Records.
Knowles also endorses brands such as Pepsi, Tommy Hilfiger, and
L'Oréal. She's pretty much as successful as a celebrity can be, yet
seems remarkably cool to boot.
She and Jay-Z welcomed their first child, baby Blue Ivy Carter, in January 2012.

Beyonce Covers Time 100 Issue, Praised as Authentic "Full-Time Mother"
.
Updated at
.
Bill O'Reilly may think Beyonce is a terrible role model, but Time just bestowed a major honor on the singer.
Not only is Queen Bey considered one of the publication's 100 Most Influential People in the world... she graces one of the four covers representing this annual issue of the magazine.
The other covers are dedicated to actor Robert Redford, gay NBA star Jason Collins and General Motors CEO Mary Barra.
Time Magazine Covers: Most Influential People
1. Beyonce Time Cover
Beyonce is one of the world's most influential people in the world. According to Time Magazine, at least.
View As List
"In the past year, Beyoncé has sold out the Mrs. Carter Show World
Tour while being a full-time mother,” writes Facebook COO Sheryl
Sandberg, adding:
"Her secret: hard work, honesty and authenticity. And her answer to the
question, 'What would you do if you weren't afraid?' appears to be
'Watch me. I'm about to do it.' Then she adds, 'You can, too.'"
Other notable star on the Time 100 list include Benedict Cumberbatch, Seth Meyers, Amy Adams, McConaughey, Pharrell Williams, Kerry Washington and, yes, Miley Cyrus.
Chelsea Clinton refers to Collins - who became the first active
professional athlete in a major American sport to come out as gay - as
"a leader and an inspiration," lauding him for maintaining a sense of
"integrity."
President Obama and Pope Francis are also on the list.
The Time 100 issue hits newsstands on Friday, April 25.
ameroonian-Nigerian singer, Dencia who has become popular internationally all thanks to her lightening cream Whitenicious is in the news again.

Kate Upton – The New Face Of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
April 11, 2014
Fashion and glamour magazines were at twitter with the recent news
that model Kate Upton was just named the new face of makeup behemoth
Bobbi Brown. There’s nothing like a celebrity endorsement deal to send a model or a celebrity’s net worth skyrocketing.
People assume that actors get rich solely from acting and models acquire massive amounts of filthy lucre by walking miles and miles of runway shows, but in reality, famous celebrity figures make a lot of their money through endorsement deals and appearances.
Even so-called “B-listers” make a lot of their money fronting brands
in overseas campaigns. Remember that Heineken commercial with Jennifer
Aniston? No? Of course not, because it was filmed and aired in Japan.
Upton’s recent appointment adds to her ever-increasing celebrity
endorsement portfolio.
And the hits just keep on coming
With Upton’s recent crowning as the face of Bobbi Brown, she takes
over the role previously held by Katie Holmes. The two Kates are the
only celebrity spokespeople the brand has ever had.
While March seems to have dumped snow and freezing, cold weather on
most New Yorkers, it seems to have brought nothing but golden sunshine
to Upton as it appeared that everything she touched turned to gold…or
brown in this case.
First, she was appointed brand ambassador
of the popular clothing brand, Express. Fresh on the heels of that
announcement came the Bobbi Brown appointment. Lest you think this was
all new to her, she’d already been hoofing it up as the face of Sam
Edelman, and she’d had not one, not two, but three Sports Illustrated
covers to her name.
A natural choice
Upton seems to be a natural fit for the Bobbi Brown brand. Bobbi
Brown herself called Upton the perfect choice to front the brand. Bobbi
Brown has always eschewed the overly made-up face, opting and
championing instead for makeup looks that celebrated a person’s individual and unique looks.
Rather than featuring women who were made up to look like completely
different people, her goal is to encourage women to wear makeup that
help them look like their very best selves. For this reason alone, Upton
is a great choice.
An attainable model
A long-time equestrian, Upton isn’t your typical supermodel. She’s
been lauded for her athletic build and her fresh, all-American features.
Her beauty is not alien and otherworldly, but instead attainable and
aspirational.
Her rise to fame is typical of many celebrity success stories today since social media
propelled it forward. Her unique take on hip-hop dance is what took her
from the runway to the golden brick road. We can only wonder where
she’ll end up next.
Oh, wait, we do know – she’s starring in the film “The Other Woman” with Cameron Diaz and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
PHOTO: Wizkid Shows Off Wealth On Instagram
11 April, 2014
You remember that Wizkid is an ambassador for the telecommunication giant MTN, right? Then this photo looks even stranger than it could be...The Star Boy was pictured, when he was totally indulged into a serious conversation with someone. Maybe it was Davido?
We can't but wonder how he sends text messages using his "Moneyphone"
Congratulations! Chris Hemsworth And Wife Welcome Their Twin Babies
April 11, 2014
By the hammer of Thor – it’s a boy! And another boy!
Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, 30, and his Spanish-born wife Elsa
Pataky, 37, have welcomed a bouncing set of twin boys to their growing
family. The new bundles of joy join the couple’s first child, daughter
India Rose, who will celebrate her second birthday this coming May.
The twins were born Thursday afternoon, March 20, 2014, at Cedars
Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Sources say that the
A-listers were accompanied to the hospital by two security guards who
ensured plenty of privacy while the beautiful blonde Pataky labored away
in a private birthing suite.
Though rumors of a second pregnancy had swirled as far back as
November, it was only a few months ago in January that a rep for
Hemsworth finally confirmed what eagle-eyed fans had already suspected,
one of Hollywood’s happiest couples was once again expecting! The
announcement came after a visibly rounded Pataky attended the 2014
Golden Globes looking every bit the proud mama-to-be.
Bumping her way up the red carpet
Since the big reveal, Pataky has certainly not shied away from
showcasing her burgeoning bump. She walked the red carpet at the 2014
Academy Awards on March 2 looking absolutely stunning in a shimmering
blue beaded Elie Saab creation.
The sleeveless couture gown was cinched under the starlet’s growing
baby bump, making her impending delivery quite obvious. Pataky glowed as
she posed for pics alongside her husband, who was presenting that
evening and looked pretty dapper himself in a burgundy and black David
August three-piece tuxedo.
Not everyone agreed on the actress’s choice of dress, however. Joan
Rivers and her gang at E!’s “Fashion Police” ripped the heavily pregnant
Pataky’s Oscar look to shreds, saying her beautifully rounded tummy
resembled a “beer belly.”
Co-host Kelly Osbourne even went on to cattily declare that “it’s
just not the appropriate dress to wear if you are pregnant.” With a
husband like the hot and hunky Hemsworth by her side and three adorable
babies to look after, Pataky will be having the last laugh!
In early March, just weeks before she was to give birth, Pataky was
spotted practicing her water safety skills in a very unusual way. The
pregnant actress was snapped participating in a beachfront photo shoot
in LA with her sizeable belly painted to resemble a red and white life
preserver. She frolicked across the sand between takes chasing daughter
India, and looked stunning in her red two-piece bathing suit.
The romantic road to parenthood
These latest additions mark yet another milestone in the romantic
journey of this famously loved-up couple. Hemsworth, who is most well
known for his turns in “The Avengers” and “Thor: Dark World” and Pataky,
a former Spanish soap opera star who is best known stateside for her
role as Elena in “Fast Five” and “Fast & Furious 6,” were introduced
by representatives in 2010.
They practically raced towards the altar, tying the knot over the Christmas holiday that same year.
These two new tots are sure to thrill Hemsworth, who once told People
magazine that having children “makes it harder and harder to leave and
go to work. I enjoy being at home a lot more than I ever have.” In an
interview in the October 2013 edition of Parade magazine, Hemsworth once
again waxed poetic about being a Daddy, saying “I think [it] brings out
the child in all of us. That’s what’s so beautiful. It’s amazing.”
Sounds like after he finishes filming “Avengers: Age of Ultron” this
God of thunder might be putting down his hammer for awhile in favor of
diaper duty and night feedings. Then again, he might need some help from
his super friends!

Kanye West To Sing A New Song At His Wedding To Kim
April 11, 2014
There’s no shortage of juicy rumors emerging from the nuptials between
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian that will take place outside of Paris this
springtime. The duo have been in the public’s eye ever since they
announced the original engagement over a year ago, prompting a forest
fire of speculation about who, where, when and how.
There’s still only a few details that we know about the wedding from
start to finish, but what we do know for certain is that Yeezus will
perform a new song upon his wedding day
for his blushing bride. This song may or may not be part of the overall
publicity about the wedding, and may or may not be part of a new album.
Time and space
The new venue and time for the wedding was the result of original
plans for the big day breaking down. Originally, the plan involved the
couple getting hitched in southern Italy to an invite-only reception of
only a few dozen close family members and friends. That’s since been
revised in order to accommodate a media circus and more publicity.
Today, we know that they’ve booked a palace outside of Paris, city of lights,
in order to tie the knot like true celebs. They pushed back the date
originally in order to accommodate their daughter, North, into the
ceremony, though it’s not clear how she’ll function at only one year of
age.
The guest list has been expanded considerably, now including several
hundred people, though it remains invite-only and it’s clear that Kanye
will not allow any paparazzi to distract him from his bride.
That’s especially salient, since Kanye assaulted a photographer at
the LA airport only last month and was ordered to two years probation
along with 250 hours of community service and two dozen anger management classes.
The chamber of secrets
So with all the mystery surrounding the wedding, what do we know
about the big day and the lineup of events? Kanye kicked off the
intrigue by releasing a statement that the only definitive answer would
be two words: fighter jets.
ADVERTISEMENT
How exactly that’s going to come to pass is anyone’s guess.
Will he parachute out of an F-22, or will he just settle for having a
fly-over once they exchange rings, or does he intend to launch an
air-to-air missile to provide fireworks?
The French Air Force has yet to release a statement about whether or
not their aircraft will be involved in the wedding, so it’s still quite
literally up in the air.
We do know that there will be no shortage of delicious meal items at
the reception, since Kanye’s good friend Gordon Ramsay operates a
restaurant in the hotel that the couple will host their invites in. It’s
a good bet that this world class chef will take over the wedding meal as well.

I Am Not Mentally Ready For Marriage' - Ice Prince
11 April, 2014
Nigerian hip-hop recording artiste Panshak Zamani, popularly
known as Ice Prince, in a recent interview revealed that he is not ready
for marriage and will start thinking about it in his late 30’s. Ice Prince
When asked why he is still single, he replied, "I
don’t think I am planning to get married now because am still young,
I’m in my youth and moreover, I am just 27 years old. Maybe later in my
late thirties I can start planing to get married or not."
His reasons being that he still has along way to go before he thinks about settling down.
"I don’t think I am mentally
ready for marriage. I think before one could get married, one needs to
attain certain level of understanding and awareness. I don’t think I
have those qualities just yet," he said.
He was asked if he had any plans of settling down with his baby mama
but he said he wouldn’t want to talk about his girlfriend and about the
mother of his baby. He however said she is good and they are not
talking about getting married because he is not ready yet.
On what he is currently working on, he said, I just dropped my new album
‘Fire of Zamania’, its on the street right now, I am also up to
recording a video for the album. I’m about doing my tour of UK and
around Africa and I have new artistes I’m trying to promote as well.
Ice Prince is the proud father of a cute boy called Jamal. Some time back, he brought his son to perform with him on stage.
Justin Bieber Becoming James Dean? Find Out Why!
April 5, 2014
Photo credit: WENN
Paying tribute to James Dean, Justin Bieber uploaded an Instagram
photo that recreates an iconic moment in “Rebel Without a Cause.” The
black and white photo shows a scowling Bieber wearing a white t-shirt
with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
So people wouldn’t think he smokes, Bieber added the caption: “This
is James Dean inspired. Don’t ask me if I smoke cigs cuz I don’t.”
Bieber also uploaded a picture of Dean so younger fans would get the
tribute. Why is he comparing himself to James Dean? Possibly Bieber
recognizes how much they’re alike, and that’s why he identifies with
him.
Who was James Dean?
Knowing a little about James Dean might help explain why Bieber sees himself as Dean. Before dying in a tragic car accident at the age of 24, Dean starred in only 3 movies.However, his roles in “East of Eden,”
“Rebel Without a Cause,” and “Giant” are all iconic and made him a
matinee idol. His untimely death catapulted him from movie star to
legend.
Fame at a young age
Both James Dean and Justin Bieber achieved fame at a very young age.
Although many of today’s hottest actors are young like Dean, most of the
male matinee idols of his time were older. Gregory Peck, Cary Grant,
and Montgomery Clift were all 10 to 20 years his senior.
Like Dean, Bieber achieved fame at a much younger age than his
contemporaries. Signed to a record deal with a major label at age 14,
Bieber is one of the youngest pop music stars ever.
Critical acclaim
Like Bieber at the start of his career, Dean enjoyed critical as well
as commercial success. He earned two Academy Awards for Best Actor
nominations. Both came after his death, so he’s the only actor ever to
receive two posthumous nominations.
When Justin Bieber launched his career, he earned two Grammy nominations. One was for Best New Artist,
which he was favored to win. However, Esperanza Spalding surprisingly
took home the Grammy. His other Grammy nomination was for Best Pop Vocal
Album for his debut album “My World 2.0.”

Sexual misbehavior rumors
Rumors of sexual misbehavior swirl around both stars. Over the years,
several claims that James Dean had sexual relationships with both men
and women have surfaced. Today, society is much more accepting of gay
actors. In the 1950′s, homosexuality was scandalous and a career ender.
The debate about Dean’s sexual orientation stems from his sensitive
portrayal of how his character in “Rebel Without a Cause” responds to
the attraction of another male character. Once asked whether he was gay,
Dean supposedly answered, “No, I am not a homosexual. But I’m also not
going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back.”
Sex scandals have tarnished Bieber’s reputation among “Beliebers,” his mostly pre-teen and early teen fan base. Two paternity suits,
both false, were the first two hits against his boy-next-door image.
More recently reports have surfaced about Bieber’s exploits at an
Australian strip club. A night club owner claims to have a security camera tape showing him in some very bad behavior with two strippers.
Passion for racing
James Dean loved fast cars and racing. He died preparing his Porsche
Spyder 550 for a race in which he was supposed to compete the day after
his death. Driving at a speed of 85 mph, Dean smashed head on into a car
that swerved into his lane. Justin Bieber also enjoys fast cars and
street racing too.
In January, Bieber was arrested on a DUI charge after police pulled
him over for street racing in his yellow Lamborghini. Possibly their
shared passion for racing sports cars is what inspired Bieber’s
identification with Dean.
However, Beliebers hope that Dean’s prophetic quote, “Live fast, die
young, and have a good-looking corpse,” won’t apply to Bieber as well.
Micheal Jacksons Baby Mama Sues For Childrens Custody, Years After Granting Micheal Full Custody
11 April, 2014
Micheal JacksonBaby mama Debbie Rowe has sued the Jackson family for custody of her kids claiming that the kids are not being supervised well. Debbie had two kids with Micheal , Micheal jnr and Paris and had given Micheal full custody of the kids years ago.
Sources

Rowe
is also unhappy with Micheals' brother Jermaine saying he is creepy and
his appearance on "Celebrity Wife Swap. does him no good either.
She is also really disturbed that after Paris recent suicide attempt there has been no significant improvement to her mental state.
Rowe has not asked for money and sources say she is not interested in that as she is well off and independent.

to ask the judge to appoint her as guardian so she and the three kids

First Look at Lindsay Lohan's Drama-Filled Appearance on '2 Broke Girls'
Get ready for Lindsay Lohan as one seriously demanding bride.
Yahoo and "The Insider" have your exclusive first look at Lindsay as a
demanding bride-to-be on the hit CBS show "2 Broke Girls," set to air
on Monday. In the episode, Max and Caroline (Kat Dennings and Beth
Behrs, respectively), are trying desperately to get a custom cake uptown
in time for Lohan's character's wedding in order to get paid.
From the sounds of it, that's where the drama of Lohan's appearance
ends. Despite rumors of diva-like behavior by the trouble-prone actress,
the cast came to her defense.
"This article is complete bull---t," Dennings tweeted
on March 14, referring to a gossip site article claiming Lindsay had
been difficult on set. "Lindsay was prepared, sweet to everyone, &
professional. Not nice to spread lies."
But is another primetime cameo enough to help Lohan get her acting career — and her professional reputation — back on track?
Lohan's latest attempt at a comeback has been documented on her
eponymous OWN docu-series, but the show isn't all chats with her sober
coach and shopping trips. In last week's episode, she admitted to breaking her post-rehab sobriety
this past fall, and previous episodes showed her receiving a call from
Oprah Winfrey herself telling her to "cut the bull---t" when she kept
changing her schedule. But after some initial viewer interest, the show has struggled to gain ratings traction.

Lindsay on 'Anger Management' (FX)
Lindsay made two major TV cameos in 2013. First she played herself alongside Charlie Sheen
in an April episode of FX's "Anger Management." In it, faux-Lindsay
hires Charlie to be her therapist but ends up sleeping with him
instead. The appearance was a ratings hit, but Sheen later come out and
admitted that there were difficulties with Lohan on the set.
"Day 1 was fabulous. She was on time. Hit every mark. Made us look off our game (which we weren't)," he told Jay Leno.
But problems hit on the second day of taping. "It was as though she had
us held hostage because she gave us half the show... She had an earache
and was a little bit... four hours late. She was a couple of hours
late. She was really not feeling well. We just worked around it."
Sheen also clarified reports that Lohan had stolen props from the
set. "It's true but it's not true. Nothing further your honor," he
joked, adding, "She borrowed some stuff and then was told they would
take it out of her paycheck, and she said fine and that's all it was."

.
Lindsay in 'Eastbound & Down' (HBO)
Lohan
then made a brief cameo in the November 2013 series finale of Danny
McBride's HBO comedy "Eastbound & Down, playing an adult version of
Danny's character's daughter during a slightly bizarre dream sequence
where she didn't have any dialogue. McBride seemed pleased with LiLo's
performance.
"She was actually great. What was most interesting was the news stories that followed," he told Vulture.
"She was kind enough to come in and do a very small thing for us, and
there was coverage on it for a week — even made-up stories about the
crew's reaction to what she had done. She was great and did a good job,
but it was just very interesting to see how that news cycle works around
her."
Lindsay also guest-hosted "Chelsea Lately" on E! in August 2013, just after leaving her 90-day mandatory rehab stint, and won positive marks from critics for her one-night stand.
In 2012, the same year Lohan starred as Elizabeth Taylor in the excoriated TV movie "Liz & Dick,"
she played self-deprecating version of herself on "Glee" — and, again,
rumors of behind-the-scenes drama swirled. While none were really ever
confirmed or denied, the cast's middling comments about the experience
seemed to paint a picture that it wasn't exactly a picnic.
"From what we know, she did her stuff and we were busy shooting ours," Chris Colfer told MTV News.
Lohan's most incendiary TV drama
came in 2008, when she had a multi-episode arc on "Ugly Betty" that was
cut from six episodes to four after reports of clashes with
the show's star, America Ferrera, and, well, just about everyone else.
Production sources told tales of nasty pranks, dressing room destruction, and more.
But the somewhat steady TV work on TV, Lohan has not translated to high-profile movie offers.
After forgettable films like "Scary Movie 5" and "The Canyons," Lohan
only has one film project in the pipeline: the indie thriller "Inconceivable," which she has touted on her OWN show but has yet to find a director or co-stars.

Then: Years before model Karlie Kloss bonded with Taylor Swift, her closest friends were her three sisters, as seen in a photo she posted to Facebook
on Thursday. "This extra special #TBT is dedicated to my 3 incredible
sisters," she captioned it. "I [love] you @kmkloss @kariannkloss
@kimbykloss happy #nationalsiblingday!"
Now: Karlie, now
21, is a member of Taylor's posse of famous friends. However, she's
still tight with her older sister Kristine and younger twin sisters,
Kimberly and Kariann. "They are all amazing!" Karlie told the U.K.'s
Grazia Daily about her sisters in June 2013. "My sisters are all
beautiful — there are four of us and each of us looks entirely
different. We joke that we must all have four different sets of parents!
The stork must have got mixed up! My elder sister Kristine has been
helping me since she graduated [from college] — she's with me in New
York and works and travels with me to all the shows. She also helps me
with all my new projects …" One of those projects is Karlie's Kookies, a
vegan, gluten-free, and reportedly delicious dessert. A portion of
proceeds from sales of the cookies goes to the non-profit organization
FEED to provide nutritious meals to children in poverty around the
world. So far, Karlie's Kookies has donated 419,535 meals, according to
the official website.
No wonder Karlie and the philanthropic Swift are so friendly.

April 9th, 2014 – Uche Odoputa, Nollywood Actor-Turned Driver To A Politician – Uche Odopota, a vibrant Nollywoodactor, who was sentenced to jail for illegal drugs trafficking in 2007, is now rumoured to be a driver to one of the politicians in Rivers State.Uche Odopota
was once a popular face in most Nigeria movies back then in the days,
before his drug ordeal, where he served eight months sentence in 2008.
Upon his freedom, Uche Odoputa returned to the movie

movie ‘Last Flight To Abuja’, and am kind of glad that he didn’t allow
that silly mistake of his ruin his life.
Uche Odoputa according to several reports has been spotted driving a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers

particularly glad that that’s the kind of job he does now if the story

boutique running for him in Port Harcourt.
I can’t figure out why he has decided to do that anyway, but Uche Odoputa, i wish you all the best, still a fan by the way.

PHOTOS: Lady Gaga Flashes Her Bare Bum During Show 18+
Lady Gaga fully confirms her stage name as she flashed her bum to the crowd of delighted fans who attended her performance at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Sunday night. Warning - NUDITY!
The singer will be the last person to perform live at the iconic New York venue before it closes down.
During the spectacular show Gaga was wearing a giant green wig and impressed her fans by flashing her bum during one song.
It
wasn't just Gaga's bum that caused a rush though, as she appeared on
stage in a nude bodysuit with just roses to protect her modesty.
Gaga performed a mix of her older hits, including 'Bad Romance' and 'Poker Face', 'G.U.Y.' and others.
Despite the bum-flashing, the show was actually more modest than the shows we've seen from her lately. Speaking
about the show Lady Gaga said that although she was raised in New York,
this is basically the only room in the city she hasn’t played.

FoxNews.com
Tara Reid, left, and Tom Brady supposedly kissed. He's now married to Gisele Bündchen.Reuters
She didn’t say where and she didn’t say when, but Tara Reid admitted that she has kissed Tom Brady.
While speaking to the KIIS 1065’s Kyle and Jackie O, radio hosts in Australia, Reid revealed that she once locked lips with Gisele Bündchen’s football star hubby.
She also dished that she has kissed Australian surfer Koby Abberton and would like to kiss Eminem.
Brady has been married to the Victoria’s Secret beauty since 2009 and the pair have two children together.
Reid rose to fame in the ‘90s and had a prominent role in the “American Pie” movies. She was once engaged to Carson Daly.
If there's one thing "How I Met Your Mother"
loves more than dragging out Ted and The Mother's meeting, it's musical
numbers. From Barney's suitable 100th episode extravaganza to Robin
Sparkles' throwback tunes, "HIMYM's" song-and-dance moments are, well,
legendary. Here are our 12 favorites from the past nine seasons.

Music talent runs in the Stinson family, but that's not surprising when your brother is Wayne Brady and his dad is Ben Vereen.
After the long estranged father and son finally meet, Sam (Vereen) and
James (Brady) discovered that they both love singing. And so does Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). (Kudos to Cobie Smulders for trying oh-so-hard not to break.)
Who Wants Hometwerk? Skidmore College to Offer Course on Miley Cyrus

Calling all Smilers (who want to enroll in summer school).
Skidmore College is offering a course called "The Sociology of Miley
Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender, and Media." That's right, you can study
Miley Cyrus and get school credit for it at the same time.
Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology Carolyn Chernoff will teach
the class at the private liberal arts school located in Saratoga
Springs, New York.
"From Disney tween to twerking machine, Miley Cyrus has grown up in
the public eye, trying on and discarding very different identities
onscreen and off," reads the course description. "She provides rich
examples for analyzing aspects of intersectional identities and media
representation."
Some of those examples include: "Uses of culture across race, class,
and gender," "Bisexuality, queerness, and the female body," "The Rise of
the Disney Princess," and "Gender stratification and the
hyper-commodification of childhood."
"I created it as a creative and
rigorous way of looking at what’s relevant about sociology and sociology
theory," Chernoff told the Daily Gazette on Wednesday. "Miley Cyrus is a surprisingly complicated cultural moment."
Chernoff watched the fallout from
Miley's infamous performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV VMAs and
decided there was much to be learned from her behavior.
But if you're hoping for a lesson in twerking, take dance 101.
Chernoff said students enrolling in her class should have at least an
introductory background in sociology and be prepared to write, since
there are no multiple choice exams in the class.
"They're either going to have to drop the course or get up to speed quickly," she explained.
Miley isn't the first celebrity to get schooled.
Beyoncé is the subject of a course
at Rutgers University called "Politicizing Beyoncé," which uses the pop
star's music and career to "explore American race, gender and sexual
politics."
Professor Chernoff told ABC News her course will be much different.
"Unfortunately, the way we talk
about female pop stars and female bodies, class matters, gender matters,
sexuality and sexual performance matters, but race matters a lot [too]
and the way we talk about white pop stars is quite different than how we
talk about the bodies of women of color," she noted. "[Cyrus]
complicates representations of the female body in pop culture in some
ways that are good, bad, and ugly."
So far, no word from Miley on the subject matter.
An
American actor, comedian, rapper, entrepreneur, record producer, radio,
and television personality Nick Canon was a guest on Big Boy's Power
106 show.
When the radio host asked him to list five celebrities he has slept with, Nick did not hesitate to reveal the names.
He
started off with his wife, super star singer Mariah Carey, mentioned
singers Christina Milian and Nicole Scherzinger, ex-fiancée supermodel
Selita Ebanks and, finally, TV star Kim Kardashian.
When Big Boy acted surprised and said he didn't know Nick had slept with Kim, Nick replied:
"Of course you knew... Or you forgot because there have been many people since me."
He
also added that only the names of famous women were mentioned, meaning
that this was not a complete list and there were many more.
Nick also said the first time he made love to Mariah was on their wedding night.

“I am Innocent” - Nigerian Pastor Joshua Esosa Sentenced 15 Months In Austria For Drug Cries For Justice
About a week ago Nigerian media space exploded with reports saying actor Jim Iyke had proposed to his girlfriend, Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari, but no one can be 100% it was for real.
Interestingly, Nollywood bad boy, who made the famous proposal via his reality "Jim Iyke Unscripted", still keeps silent on the issue.
While there is not any official reaction from the alleged future husband, fresh reports appear that the proposal was made just for the sake of the show.
Taking
into consideration the fact that both celebrities had been denying
having an affair for months, people keep wondering whether it is a real
story or a publicity stunt.
And what is your opinion: true or fake?
