Nick Gordon ''Not Desperate'' to Visit Bobbi Kristina Brown in the Hospital, Says Bobby Brown's Lawyer

Bobby Brown is firing back after Bobbi Kristina Brown's longtime boyfriend Nick Gordon claimed Bobby has "prohibited" him from visiting Bobbi Kristina in the hospital. "Due to Mr. Gordon's failure to place in tangible form his understanding of the events that lead to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina, there is no reason for any additional discussion
with him," Bobby's lawyer Christopher Brown tells E! News in a statement. "It appears that Mr. Gordon did not want his understanding of the facts to be subject to the truthful examination of various experts or Bobby Brown himself. Mr. Gordon has every right to remain silent and not share his version of the events with Bobby Brown. We are only concerned with individuals that can help Bobbi Kristina and bring resolution to this investigation. Obviously Mr. Gordon is
not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe. At least not desperate enough to inform Bobby Brown, in writing, what happened to Bobbi Kristina." Bobby added, "We continue to request privacy in this matter. We thank everyone that supports Bobbi Kristina and God is hearing our prayers." In addition to Bobby's new statement
Gordon took to Twitter today to share a bevy of tweets in his own defense. "I can't wait till she wakes up and dismiss all of the negative thoughts. There is a reason why her mom made me promise to look after her," he wrote. "If Bobby can guarantee me that I can see her 24/7 I'll meet the conditions." "My only regret is not getting to @REALbkBrown faster to give
CPR," he went on. "Like I said you all entitled keep them coming. My s--t is made of Rhino skin so is @REALbkBrown when she wakes up and tells the truth." He added, "Crazy how
all the Browns came to the hospital when this went down. I've been with her 24/7 watching over her and mom. Bobby left when it got heavy."

Rivers Oscar 'In Memoriam' Snub Melissa Is VERY Disappointed

Can we talk? Joan Rivers was noticeably snubbed Sunday night by The Academy Awards and Melissa Rivers is not a happy camper about it. Sources close to Melissa say she feels her mom deserved a place in the 'In Memoriam' portion of the Oscars, but she's not going to focus on the snub.

decades of performing and owning the Oscars red carpets ... Joan was Dot Matrix in "Spaceballs!" Spaceballs, man. Unforgivable, right?

except on the cheek it's more of a matte look." For Khloé's cheeks, Bonelli used a "really cool" Benefit "blush color called rock," adding, "I am focusing on her strong eye brow and muted nude lip." PHOTOS: See at the candid pics at the 2015 Oscars! As for the inspiration for Khloé's first look? Bonelli tells E! News, "I am really into '90s makeup right now so I like

ever butt heads? "She is so nice, I never have any complaints with her except she always wants me to put the longest lashes on her, and we fight about how long a lash she is allowed to wear. It's kind of funny, and lately I am loving the no lashes look cause she actually has the longest lashes herself! Its really weird how we go back and fourth about it. Thats our only fight!...That's when the boxing gloves are out with us." Who knew lashes could cause such an uproar?! What did you think of Khloé's looks last night? Tell us in the comments!

Jay Z & Beyonce -- Can't Find a House, So ... We're L.A. Renters Now
Beyonce and Jay Z can't always get what they want -- they've been unable to find the perfect L.A. home to buy ... so, instead they haggled their way into a rental for $150K a month ... and yes, that's a deal. They're familiar with the crib in ritzy Holmby Hills -- it's the same one they rented last summer on a short term lease ... but our real estate sources tell us they just locked it down for a full year. We're told the
power couple's been itching to move out of the Bev Hills area hotel where they've been living while house hunting -- so they decided to go back to their old digs. 16,000 sq. ft., 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms and an infinity pool with a waterfall ... is one helluva plan B. You'll recall, Bey and Jay paid $200K/ month for the pad last year -- but we're told they dealt directly with the owner this time and knocked off $50K/mo. .. based on signing a longer lease. Even the Carters love a discount.

Emma Watson Responds to Prince Harry Dating Rumors...and Makes a Valid Point--Find Out What She Said!

Emma Watson Responds to Prince Harry Dating Rumors...and Makes a Valid Point--Find Out What She Said!

Minds were blown several days ago with the mother of all royal rumors surfaced: That Emma Watson, princess of the Harry Potter world, was dating a real-life prince, Prince Harry of the United Kingdom. The popular 24-year-old British actress, who played smart, sassy and independent Hermione Granger in the hit film series, took to Twitter on Sunday to post what appears to be a denial of the reports, including with her tweet a red heart emoji. "WORLD Remember that little talk
we had about not believing everything written in the media?!" she said. Harry, 30, has not commented. Watson is an advocate of the HeForShe campaign and serves as a U.N.
Women Goodwill Ambassador. She had spoken about feminism and gender equality in a powerful, emotional speech at the United Nations last September. Days later, the official
Twitter page of the HeForShe campaign featured a tweet with a photo of Harry and a pro-gender equality quote he had made while speaking in a video recorded for a 2013 concert to promote the CHIME for Change campaign. Beyoncé and Salma Hayek co-founded the initiative, which promotes "Education, health and justice for every girl. Every woman. Everywhere." While Watson and Harry have never been spotted together, she
did chat with his older brother, Prince William, 32, at a dinner he hosted to celebrate the work of The Royal Marsden in Windsor, England on May 13, 2014. Harry was last year linked
romantically to Camilla Thurlow. They never confirmed a relationship publicly. In 2014, Watson dated Matthew Janney, an Oxford University student. E! News learned in December that the two had broken up. They have not commented. Watson has always been notoriously private about her personal life. Following her apparent denial tweet, Watson said on her Twitter page on Saturday, "Also..... marrying a Prince not a prerequisite for being a Princess," and linked to a video of a scene from Alfonso Cuarón's 1995 film A Little
Princess. And she should know. Just look at her.

Bobby Brown's Lawyer: Nick Gordon Could Have Seen Bobbi Kristina But "Declined to Meet the Terms" of Any Visit

Bobby Brown's Lawyer: Nick Gordon Could Have Seen Bobbi
Kristina But "Declined to Meet the Terms" of Any Visit
Bobby Brown and his lawyer are setting the record straight about one persistent rumor: Is Nick Gordon allowed to visit Bobbi Kristina Brown in the hospital or not? If you're looking
for Bobby's side, Nick has had the chance to be by his longtime girlfriend's bedside. "To address the continued and never ending media requests for comment about Mr. Gordon's
requests to visit Bobbi Kristina, let me be very clear, Mr. Gordon was offered an opportunity to potentially visit Bobbi Kristin and he declined to meet the terms of any possible
visit," Bobby's lawyer Christopher Brown said in a statement to E! News Saturday evening. "We are only concerned with individuals that can help Bobbi Kristina and bring resolution to
the investigation." He added, "Obviously Mr. Gordon is not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe." Just last week, Gordon insisted that he had been banned from visiting Bobbi Kristina's bedside in a Georgia hospital. In addition, he said his only intention was to be by a woman he cares deeply about. "Nick has been trying, privately, to do everything he can to see Bobbi Kristina cooperatively," Gordon's attorney Randall Kessler said in a statement Wednesday. "He has respected the family's wishes and for that reason alone has not returned to the hospital and risked a public confrontation. But he desperately wants to be with the one he loves and continues to hope that his request will be granted." Meanwhile, E! News confirmed late last week that doctors performed a tracheotomy on Bobbi Kristina to help fight infection from her breathing tube. PHOTOS: Relive Whitney Houston's funeral "It's a normal procedure after a certain amount of time on a breathing tube," a source
revealed. "It helps prevent infections." The source also confirmed that her family is in the process of taking her out of a medically induced coma. As the family remains hopeful,
Bobby continues to ask fans to pray for a smooth recovery. "We continue to request privacy in this matter," Bobby said in a statement to E! News Saturday. "We thank everyone that supports Bobbi Kristina and God is hearing our prayers."

Yvonne Nelson Say She Doesn’t Wear Bras Because Her Boobies Are Small, Denies Skin Bleaching Accusations

Yvonne Nelson Say She Doesn’t Wear Bras
Because Her Boobies Are Small, Denies Skin Bleaching Accusations
Recently, the Gollywood actress came under fire for not wearing bra to an event that held in Accra Ghana. The event tagged MTN 4syte Music Video Awards put the actress cheaply in the hands of rumour mills who blasted her
for bleaching her skin and going bra-less publicly in a move to seduce men. The actress who aptly denied the first accusation however
defended herself for not wearing bra to the event hosted by Bola Ray. Bola went on to quiz her on the rumours that she doesn’t
wear Bras pointing out evidently that he could see she wasn’t on bra even right there. She simply explained: “yes I do not wear them because my boobies are not big”. Ladies, is that a genuine reason to go out bra-less… What is the function of a push up bra?

Wiz Khalifa
Amber's So Cold She Denied Our Kid His Birthday Party!
Wiz Khalifa threw a big party Saturday for his son's birthday ... but the rapper says his 2 year-old never showed because ex-wife Amber Rose denied the kid a good time out
of spite. Wiz posted sad pics of the party with the caption, "only thing missing was Bash" -- referring to their son Sebastian. Sources close to Wiz say Amber was supposed to bring Sebastian to the party and they would celebrate his birthday together ... as parents. Wiz says everyone was there and he's heartbroken the boy couldn't celebrate with civil parents. Khalifa put Amber on blast, saying, "ive never voiced my true unhappiness out of fear of the person I was with and
what she would do to make me more unhappy of anyone knew." Wiz goes on to champion father's rights, saying, "Standing up for all fathers who need, deserve, or can't find
help," adding, "As a man, and a dad you'll feel like, 'I got this.' But who got us?" In other words, the system doesn't protect fathers. For her part, Rose posted videos of their son
before and after the party. She's got way too many feuds going on.

The Oscars Show Will Go On ... Roaches Dodge Health Inspectors

The Oscars
Show Will Go On ... Roaches Dodge Health Inspectors
Oscars producers can stop holding their breath -- the Health Department combed the Dolby Theater for roaches and other violations, and gave 'em the green light for Sunday's
ceremony ... TMZ has learned. TMZ broke the story ... video shot inside the home of the Oscars showed several bars and a storage area that were filthy with dead cockroaches, flying bugs, dirty sinks, garbage and more. Health Department Manager Charlene Contreras tells TMZ they sent 2 inspectors
to the theater late Thursday afternoon -- hours after we posted the video -- to check the 6 bar areas. She says no roaches or flies turned up. Contreras says the critters in the video may have set up camp in areas that are unused between events. Bottom line ... celebs won't have to worry about crawling critters on Sunday. They're on their own with agents
and lawyers though.

Kardashian Family Sayonara Bruce

Kardashian Family
Sayonara Bruce
The Kardashians are driving a wedge between themselves and Bruce Jenner, and we've learned the upcoming season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" is a virtual farewell to the patriarch. Sources connected with the production tell TMZ ... there's a scene in the show where the girls discuss how Bruce is such an infrequent visitor, "Bruce and the boys are almost completely out of the picture." One of the girls says, "Maybe it's time to admit to themselves that they're barely even enough of a family anymore to go on vacation [with us]." At one point Kim says, "Things are only going to get more difficult and complicated," referring to Bruce's sex change. And during the episode, Scott Disick rails on Bruce, saying
when they were dune buggying in Pismo Beach, Bruce "got on his high horse on how to be the world's best dad." Scott says he got really annoyed and said to Kourtney, "I wonder what Brody would have to say about that" -- obviously referring to the fact that Bruce was largely absent while Brody grew up.

when I'm in L.A.," the singer said. "In L.A., there aren't many fashion shows because people are very laid back here but I do it for him. He cares about the way women feel in his clothes." Ryan Murphy gave the show an enthusiastic review. Walking out of Milk studios, he simply said, "I want all of it." We feel the same way.

Car Accident in Montana
Khloe Kardashian skidded on an ice-covered Montana road and dangerously crossed into oncoming traffic, eventually landing in a ditch with Kim, North West and Kylie on board.
We're told the girls were driving in Bozeman, MO Saturday morning when a semi-truck drove by their car and kicked up a ton of snow, hitting their windshield and apparently blinding Khloe. Apparently Khloe couldn't see and began swerving, right into a patch of black ice. The car then spun out of control, crossing oncoming traffic and ending up in a ditch.
We're told cops came and everyone's ok. The accident comes 2 weeks to the day after Bruce Jenner got in his fatal car crash.

Foluke Daramola Says She Felt Bad About The Husband-Snatching Scandal Rocking Her Marriage

Foluke Daramola Says She Felt Bad About
The Husband-Snatching Scandal Rocking Her Marriage
“Whenever I read any bad news about us, I felt bad. But Kayode wouldn’t feel bad because he was convinced about what we feel for each other. I felt bad because it was not me that was portrayed in those stories. The fact that I have feelings for someone and the person feels the same way about me and we both have a past that we are moving beyond does not make us bad people. The way they
made it seem to the outside world was like I was a bitch that just wanted to be wicked.
I was trying to be happy. My husband and I felt bad but he had to be bold and brave for both of us. He had to be a man and he handled it very well. He helped me overcome it and I thank God that it is over,” she said. “Everybody is fine now. Everything is cool with our ex because we believe that we disagree to agree. Just because it did not work with one person does not mean it would not work with another person. All parties involved are mature about it and so far, everybody is happy.”

Kim Kardashian and Pals Hit the Slopes After Kanye West
and Amber Rose's Heated Feud

Kim Kardashian may be in the middle of a heated feud, but she's feeling cold as ever right now. The E! star's hubby Kanye West and his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose threw digs at
each other earlier today, but Kim chose to keep herself out of the drama and instead hit the slopes with a few of her nearest and dearest. Staying mum on the back-and-forth, Kim opted to share a number of snapshots from her snowy ski day alongside sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, and pals
Jonathan Cheban and Malika Haqq. You wouldn't be able to tell It was Kim and her famous friends and fam if it weren't for her captions, because the group were covered head-to-toe in ski gear. "Skiing sisters," she wrote with one snapshot, while poking fun at another pic with Cheban and Malika "Emergency contact: @jonathancheban Relationship to patient?... BFF! Right @forevermalika." Kim also posted a picture of the group on the snow and wrote, "#
BlizzardIsComing #We'reDone #LastRun." Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick were also there, but only posed for a selfie with each other on the lift. Kanye decided to
address the shade thrown at his lady by Rose recently when he stopped by Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club to chat today. "[Amber] is just soaking in the moment. Nobody feel
compelled to do nothing," the outspoken rapper told the hosts. "If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there
wouldn't have been an Amber Rose." He also added: "It's very hard for a woman to want to be with someone that was with Amber Rose," he said before adding, "I had to take 30
showers before I got with Kim." Ouch. Amber clearly fired back, and began sounding off on Twitter, telling the rapper things like, "I'll leave that up to the Kartrashians to humiliate u when they're done with u." But hey, look at how pretty that snow is!

Nigerian Struggles - Nigerian Trade Unions Protest

Nigerian Trade Unions Protest

The Nigerian Trade Union Congress sent the following cable to Oliver Stanley, British Colonial Secretary: “Nigerian Trades Unions disfavor the constitution in its present unsatisfactory form. Approval by the Legislative Council is unauthorized. Workers’ claims have been flagrantly ignored Memorandum follows.” One of the main points in the memorandum of the TUC was that “the proposed constitution should provide for
adult suffrage irrespective of income.” At the huge May Day 1945 celebration of the TUC in Lagos a resolution demanded full adult suffrage for the people of Nigeria. There are no essential differences between the new constitution and the old. The projected “reforms” do not in any respect constitute progress toward Nigeria’s independence.
The real power still rests in the hands of the Governor and his Executive Council. The new “reforms” simply serve to reinforce the alliance between the British and autocratic native rulers in opposition to the will and desires of the people. The primary functions of the chiefs under this system of indirect rule are to
maintain imperialist “law and order,” secure forced labor, recruit troops in time of war, and, above all else, collect the extortionate taxes imposed by the British authorities. Before the conquest of the country by the Europeans the
authority of the chiefs derived from the people and from elected councils of elders. They were subject to the will of the people. If he became autocratic and tyrannical, the chief could
be removed by the people. Today under the system of indirect rule, the chiefs are servants of the British overlords. The people are recognizing the true role of the chiefs as agents of British rule and asserting themselves in opposition. The Colonial authorities, aware of the dangers of this rising
tide of popular discontent, are attempting to arrest the growing democratic aspirations of the people by tieing the chiefs more closely to themselves under the new constitution.
The West African Pilot, reviewing these proposals, said: “Any system of government which nourishes feudalism or advances a baronial class who must thrive at the expense of the lower classes is undesirable ... The powerful indirect rulers of the north enjoy good salaries (5,000 pounds per annum) and Oriental palaces, they have nothing to complain about. But the classes under them have no justice, no education and their health is not enviable. The building up of a ruling class, vested with power, supplied with money and set up to live in pomp and luxury side by side with a poor and underfed peasant class, will have exactly the same result as such a
system has had in other countries – namely, the people seek the destruction of such institutions.”
* * * *
The economic and political events of the past five years in Nigeria culminating in the triumphant general strike of the organized workers against the government confirm anew the Trotskyist theory of the permanent revolution applied to the struggles of the colonial peoples. In his report to the Third
Congress of the Communist International in 1921 Trotsky predicted: “The combination of the military nationalistic oppression of
foreign imperialism, of the capitalist exploitation by the foreign and native bourgeoisie, and the survivals of feudal disabilities are creating the conditions in which the immature proletariat of the colonial countries must develop rapidly and take the
lead in the revolutionary movement of the peasant masses.”

Wendy Williams Defends Iggy Azalea: "Black People Don't Want This Girl to Win Because She's White"

Wendy Williams Defends Iggy Azalea: "Black People Don't Want This Girl to Win Because She's White"

Wendy Williams is coming to Iggy Azalea's defense in a big way. On her show this week, the 50-year-old talk show host took Azalea's haters to task after some people online bashed the 24-year-old rapper over a recent bootylicious bikini pic of her (among other things). "Would guys stop with the Iggy
Azalea?! How much hate do you guys have?!" Williams asked her audience. "I want you all to leave her alone. I know who the haters are: my people," Williams said, referencing the African American community. "It seems like black people don't want this girl to win because she's white." Williams went on to claim black people in the U.S. feel ill will towards Azalea
because African American people are "very territorial about our rap music." "You take over the radio. You can be heard on hip-hop stations, Top 40 stations. My father who just turned 84 knows who Iggy Azalea is. The little goobers running around in nursery schools know who Iggy Azalea is," she went on. "In other words, you're a hater because she's crossed over and she's managed to make it. You're a hater because she got herself what looks like a black girl's butt and a black
boyfriend, Nick Young. You need to stop that hate and get a life, haters." That said, Williams reminded fans that she's "never met" Azalea.

Bobbi Kristina Brown Undergoes Tracheotomy to Help Prevent Infections From Breathing Tube

Bobbi Kristina Brown Undergoes Tracheotomy to Help Prevent
Infections From Breathing Tube

Doctors performed a tracheotomy on Bobbi Kristina Brown Wednesday to help fight infection from her breathing tube, E! News confirms. The source tells us that it's a "normal procedure after a certain amount of time on a breathing tube. It helps prevent infections." The source also confirms that her
family is in the process of taking her out of the medically induced coma. The news comes just days after her father's lawyer, Christopher Brown (no relation), slammed reports that
the 21-year-old woman would be taken off life support this week. Those are "false stories," he revealed to E! News Monday morning before assuring the media that there is "nothing happening." But now that the family is trying to pull her out of the coma, maybe something positive will happen to Whitney Houston's daughter, who has remained in the hospital since being discovered face down in her bathtub on Jan. 31. Reports about Bobby Brown's daughter have said a variety of different things regarding her health status, but her father just wants everyone to focus on praying for a recovery. "We continue to request privacy in this matter," he said in a statement to E! News. "We thank everyone that supports
Bobbi Kristina and God is healing our prayers." Bobbi Kristina's aunt, Leolah Brown, previously told reporters that her niece was showing signs of improvement, despite remaining on life support. "She's still on life support," she told Fox 5 Atlanta. "We know that she's opening her eyes. That's true. She's opening her eyes and there's a few more things
that she's doing but Krissi is doing well right now. She is." But cousin Jerod Brown said that opening her eyes "might not be a good thing or a bad thing." Despite the conflicting reports, Bobby's attorney continues to implore media outlets not to get their information from "unauthorized members of the family." "The integrity of the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina must remain uncompromised," lawyer Christopher Brown (no relation) said.

Salma Hayek, 48, Reveals She ''Never Exercised'' Before Now: ''I Was Always Borderline Chubby''

Salma Hayek, 48, Reveals She ''Never Exercised'' Before Now:
''I Was Always Borderline Chubby''

Salma Hayek may be "pushing 50," but she's never looked better. The star of the upcoming action-packed flick Everly opens up to Net-a-Porter's The Edit about how she maintains
her killer hourglass figure and why 2015 is about to be her craziest year yet. "I never exercised my whole life, but now I do yoga. I was always borderline chubby, because I like my food, and frankly, I like my wine," she tells the fashion site. "I have to say, I'm pushing 50 but I feel great. I looked worse in my youth! I'm in good shape right now." She continued, "I'm
quite short. I have an overly...wavy body. I'm not like the girl next door who is easy to cast. I don't fit into any of the stereotypes of a woman that should continue to work. I don't
know what it is, but I don't think it has anything to do with planning. It has something to do with karma, maybe. I believe in karma." Hayek, who has five films out this year confessed that "this is the by far the busiest I have been in my life." "The funny thing is that I really don't even understand how [it all] came out. Maybe because when you don't want something as much, you're not desperate." The stunning star added, "If you think about it, I'm limited by the way I talk and by the way I look. I'm 48 years old. Amazing, talented people [stop finding work] at 32, 33 sometimes! Not so much in London, but in the U.S. it's crazy. Also, for those who have
never seen me in person...oh, you should see me sometimes. At the weekend, I walk around in my pajamas. Sometimes I'll make an effort, but a lot fo the time I'm just shameless. Comfortably shameless."

Kristen Stewart Tells Interview That She's Still "F--king Proud" of Twilight

Kristen Stewart Tells Interview That She's Still "F--king Proud" of Twilight

The days of Twilight are long gone for Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, but just because they're over doesn't mean they're forgotten. Stewart, who played the lead
in the young adult series film adaptation (like we could forget Bella Swan), has since moved on and has even tried to drop her teenybopper persona with other hard-hitting roles, but she
dishes to Interview magazine (by way of Patti Smith) that those movies remain an extremely important part of her life. "Anybody who wants to talk s--t about Twilight, I completely
get it, but there's something there that I'm endlessly, and to this day, f--king proud of," she Smith. "My memory of it felt-- still feels--really good." Thank goodness she has no regrets about it, because we certainly don't either! # TeamEdwardForLife. In fact, she explains that every movie she has ever worked on, including those four Twilight installments,
has shaped who she is today. But she doesn't like it when people start to look at each of her roles individually because all of them have affected her. "People are always comparing
s--t. Like, comparing Twilight to things and trying to figure out why I've made certain decisions that I've made, and I always say every single moment that has led me to this
moment has made me who I am," she says to Smitih. "Every movie that I've done, they don't stand independently from one another because a little bit of me is in every single one of those, and it's part of my own personal growth. Although The Runaways actress has become well known for her awkward
interviews, she confesses to the mag that she made up her mind about becoming an actress when she was just a little kid! Her parents both work in the film industry as members of
film crews. Despite the downsides of fame, she says she doesn't regret any of it. "Well, I'm sitting back and enjoying the benefits of a decision that I made when I was a person
who I can still relate to but am not anymore," she says.

Naked Costume at Carnival: See the Sexy Pic
Wiz Khalifa who? While partying at Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago this week, Amber Rose got very up close and personal with a guy during the high-energy festivities. Dressed in a
barely there beaded turquoise bikini and a matching feather headdress, the 31-year-old model flaunted lots of skin, including her ample cleavage and famous big booty, while
dancing in the nearly naked costume. At one point during the celebration, Rose bumped and grinded on a pal and was even photographed gyrating her butt on the guy. Hot damn! But the sexy NSFW dancing doesn't end there. Rose shared multiple videos of her and her guy friend getting all kinds of dirty on her Instagram. "Men aren't the only ones that can have fun on tour..... women can too," she wrote, adding, "#UMad Trini men tho???? #IllTakeaSliceOfTriniManPiePlease #Thot #Whore #Hoe #Slut #BadBitch #MILF #ButDatAssonFleekDoe #

risqué costume with the caption, "Back to me killin the gram #TrinidadandTobagoCarnival." Meanwhile, Khalifa has been sharing some adorable pics and videos of their son Sebastian on Instagram.

Columbus Short Lands First Major TV Role After Scandal Exit

A former gladiator is returning to the small screen. Columbus Short has booked his first major TV role since exiting Scandal in April 2014. E! Online can exclusively reveal that Short has joined the cast of Fear Files, the second installment of TV One's original horror film franchise. In the short film Fear, which will premiere in Friday, March 13, Short will play City Councilman Harvey Jordan, whose plan to build a football stadium in a low income neighborhood causes friction to erupt within the community. And after a deadly fire removes the last resident standing in the way of his project, people begin to question if the death was an accident or a murder planned by
the Councilman. While the truth begins to haunt Jordan, he must charm Kelisia Waters (Erica Hubbard), a determined reporter in order to sway the media attention away from him.
Short's exit from the ABC hit series came just after the season three finale, which found his character Harrison's life in jeopardy (It was revealed he was killed in the season four
premiere). "At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I've called home for 3 years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today. I would like to first thank
Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast," Short said in a statement released by his publicist. Following his legal issues and substance abuse battle, Short revealed during an interview in December that he was" "really ready to get back to work. As far as Shonda's shows, I would love nothing more to go back to Scandal. It's my family." After the success of the first trilogy, TV One decided to pick up three new films, including For the Love of
Lockwood Too, a sequel to For the Love of Lockwood, as well as Fire, and Mama's Boy, which stars Robin Givens. "Buoyed
by the positive viewer and social media response to the inaugural airing, we are pleased to be able to deliver another
installment of this compelling and entertaining series," Cathy Hughes, Radio One founder and chairperson, said in a statement. "Delving deeper in to the horror genre helps fulfill
TV One's mission of super-serving the Black audience with a wide variety of programming genres to reflect the diversity of content Black viewers crave." Fear, and the rest of the Fear
Files trilogy, will premiere on Friday, March 13 at 8 p.m. on TV One.

Khloé Kardashian Defends Kylie Jenner in Epic Twitter War With Amber Rose: "Please Stop Talking About Us"

Khloé Kardashian Defends Kylie Jenner in Epic Twitter War With Amber Rose: "Please Stop Talking About Us"

It sounds like Khloé Kardashian and Amber Rose won't be BFFs anytime soon! This President's Day weekend, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star couldn't ignore the
model's latest interview where she took more than a few jabs at Kylie Jenner. "She's a baby," Rose said on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club when asked about the friendship between
Kylie and Tyga. "She needs to go to bed at 7 o'clock and relax." Never one to stay quiet about her family, Khloé decided to defend her little sister in a series of tweets Monday
afternoon. "'I was a stripper since I was 15 years old,' Amber Rose told Foxx. Please don't worry about my sister who has a career & her shit together at ONLY 17," she wrote on social
media. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Please stop talking about us in interviews mama. None of us talk about you." Khloé went on to assure fans that
her family gets asked about other celebrities all the time. But instead of speaking out on rumors, they keep quiet. "We get asked questions about people all the time and my sisters and I always take the high road and don't answer. Truth is we don't know these people," she wrote. "I don't know Amber so
why would I comment on her. I'm not going to comment on someone I don't know." She added, "3 sides to EVERY story. His, hers and the truth. I'm not passing judgment but I wish
others would do the same until they have FACTS." For better or worse, Rose didn't exactly follow Khloé's advice. Instead, she fired back at the famous family in a serious of tweets and Instagrams. "@KhloeKardashian I'm happy u brought up the fact that I was a stripper at 15," she tweeted. I'll be that lil
whore to support my family like ur older sister is a whore 2 support heres. We're even. #DontPanic." We told you this was one serious Twitter war! "@DaRealAmberRose lol #DontPanic well damn, I didn't realize I called you a whore...But at the end of the day I guess people love to call us whores," Khloé responded. "Easiest jab to throw. It is what it is. We still livin though." She concluded, "My point was proven. She can't even wait 10 mins before mentioning one of our names SMH."
It's safe to say there's more to come! Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 10 premieres March 15 at 9 p.m. only onE!

NIGERIAN STRUGGLES - Rapid Shift to Capitalism

The war led directly to this rapid growth of the working class. By the beginning of 1942 the harbors of West Africa became busy ports of call for convoys bound for the Middle and Far
Eastern theaters of war. Simultaneously a great chain of airports grew up near the main towns for handling the stream of aircraft carrying men and supplies to North Africa and the Far East. A huge construction program ranged from the building of mud huts in military camps to the building of up- to-date airdromes, new roads, railroads and harbor facilities. These activities were accompanied by the intensified exploitation of vital raw materials, such as ores, foodstuffs, lumber and rubber.To supply the necessary manpower
thousands of natives were literally hurled from their primitive agrarian and tribal mode of living into the modern world of machinery and capitalism. These developments produced far-
reaching dislocations in the social structure of Nigeria. Processes that in peacetime would have taken generations are today being completed in weeks or months. Simultaneous with the rapid rise of the trade-union movement there has developed a large and powerful Nigerian nationalist movement in which the trade unions play a leading part. This political movement has cut across tribal traditions, religious ties, Mohammedan, Christian, Pagan, and the barrier of diverse
native languages. Nigeria, with its numerous native states and tribes, has hitherto been bound together only by geographical proximity and the bureaucratic apparatus of the British
imperialist overlords. Now its people are developing a national consciousness.
The nationalist movement took on definite shape in August 1943 when a delegation of editors of West African newspapers in Great Britain issued a memorandum on “The Atlantic Charter and West Africa.” Basing their claim on Clause 3 of the Atlantic Charter which affirms “the right of all people to choose the form of government under which they may live,” they asked for the immediate abrogation of the Crown Colony system of government and the substitution of representative government. The authors of the memorandum declared “that factors of capitalism and imperialism have stifled the normal growth of these territories.” The memorandum set forth a series of proposals for reforms in education, health, social welfare, agriculture, mining, finance, trade and commerce. Upon the return of the press delegation to Africa, a campaign
to popularize these demands was started under the leadership of Nnamdi Azikiwe, editor of the West African Pilot, largest Nigerian daily newspaper, and secretary of the delegation. On
January 20 of this year a constitutional convention was held in Lagos, capital of Nigeria, which formulated and adopted a
draft constitution and a program of economic and social reforms. The convention set up the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons for the purpose of uniting in federation all progressive organizations in the country. The June 26 Daily Comet reports that 126 organizations have affiliated with the Council. Among them are sixty tribal unions,
the two leading political parties – the Nigerian National Democratic Party and the Union of Young Democrats eleven social clubs, eight professional associations. The most significant are the two leading trade union organizations – the West African Union of Seamen and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria with its 86 affiliated unions and membership of over 500,000. An editorial in the May 17 West African Pilot says that the Council has a following of over 6 million people. Alarmed by these developments the British Colonial Government set about to counter the popular insistence on a new constitution. Shortly after this convention a White Paper containing proposals for the reform of the Constitution of Nigeria was issued with the approval of the British Colonial
Secretary, in the name of Sir Arthur Richards, Governor of Nigeria. By this proposed constitutional revision the British imperialists sought to prevent the emanation of a draft
constitution from the people themselves through the Constitutional Convention.
Calling a special meeting of the Legislative Council in March, Richards presented a constitutional draft demanding immediate acceptance before the people had an opportunity to study it. The Council, made up of a majority of white officials and a minority of hand-picked chiefs, voted acceptance.
At the same session of the Legislative Council Richards secured approval for two bills. One granted the British Government the right to confiscate all African lands wherever minerals were discovered. The other gave the Governor power to dispose of any chief who supported the Nationalist movement against the British.
Taking up the challenge of the Governor, Azikiwe called upon the natives to rally around the National Council, and fight to defend their ancestral lands. Without these the Nigerians will surely sink into further economic enslavement like the natives of South Africa and Kenya. Mass meetings throughout Nigeria
passed resolutions denouncing the “Uncle Toms” who voted support for Richards and demanded that the Colonial Office rescind the undemocratic constitution and take its hands off the African lands. In the face of this nation-wide insurgency the Governor flew to London to consult with the Colonial Office. Meanwhile the natives collected over $50,000 for the
expenses of a delegation to London. Head of the delegation was Herbert Macauly, Nigeria’s “elder statesman,” who successfully fought the British thirty years ago when the Government attempted to confiscate tribal lands belonging to Chief Elako, active ruler of Lagos. The delegation of twelve included representatives from the most important tribes, Christian, Moslem and Pagan. Azikiwe was appointed secretary.
