Jessica-Simpson wants-sex-all the-time


Has Jessica Simpson ever been one to mince words? I can’t remember a time when that was the case. Doesn’t matter, though, because it’s one of the many reasons that we love her!

She recently visited Ryan Seacrest on his radio show and talked about how pregnancy has definitely, ahem, put her in the mood. Am I being too subtle???? Jessica Simpson wants sex all the time!
The Huffington Post quotes her telling Ryan, “I am definitely feeling ‘intimate.’ I’m kind of unstoppable at the moment! … Like the big ‘O’ is like the biggest ‘O’ ever.”
That was a definite overshare, but I just can’t bring myself to be disgusted.
So what’s her man think of her overactive sex drive? He’s probably all, “Jessica! Go to sleep!” and “Jessica, not now!” right? WRONG!
”He’s always ready. He’s always ready!” she said.
LOL. Right. Like why would he be disappointed that his woman wants to do the dirty literally all the time? I’m not exactly shedding a tear for him either! *giggle*
Jess said recently that despite being as big as a house, she still has a couple weeks left in her pregnancy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she gave birth today…to octuplets

Nicki Minaj is Allure magazine's cover girl this month



Nicki Minaj is Allure magazine’s cover girl this month, where she opens up about her cartoonish characters, which mogul’s career she wants and on her hate for exercise.

On dethroning Jay-Z

“I never thought about music as just being the end-all, be-all. I always looked at it like a business, something that I could create an empire out of…. I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. He said, ‘Congratulations on all your success.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m coming for you. I’m coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul.’”

On exercising:

“I’m naturally petite, but I definitely struggle with keeping those extra pounds off. And I hate working out. I can’t stand being on a treadmill. That mentally irks me. When I need to lose a few, I just cut out sugar and starch.”

On why her fan base ranges from eight-year-olds to adults:

“I think as far as the younger demo is concerned, I play dress-up,” Minaj begins. “I also can put on a very cartoonish voice. So sometimes children may not know what I’m saying, but they like the sound of it, and they think I sound like some weird character.”

On trying out new looks with her hair from the age of nine:

“I had done something I thought was really, really, really cute, and I showed my neighbor,” she says. “She was like, ‘Why’d you do that to your hair?’ And I never forget what I said: ‘I’m someone new in this hair.’”

Is Bobby Brown Writing A Tell-All?


Rumors that The King of Rocks and Blunts is reportedly working on publishing a tell-all book about his life with late ex-wife Whitney Houston are circulating once again.
Insiders say that in light of Our Fair Lady Nippy’s death Bobby Brown sees potential to make money off writing a book because there’s peak interest right now.

Dionne, hold my mule. And $20 sack.
“He’s not going to address anything that will cast him in a negative light,” a source told E! Online. “And that’s why people, I don’t think, will buy the book. They’re going to see that it will most likely be completely self-serving.” The source continued, “What great revelations is he going to have in this book?”

“Back in 2008, the interest in a book on Whitney Houston wasn’t that great. Whitney had fallen off the radar back then but now, following her tragic death, the market has changed. Now is the time for a book that details an honest look into the life of Whitney,” the source added.

A rep for Brown declined to offer further details, telling Entertainment Weekly, “We do not comment on gossip and rumor.”
I am casting all of my burdens inside Cousin Dionne’s nostrils. The only thing that has to do with Bobby and Whitney’s relationship I want to hear more details on is the removal process of the doodie bubble — that’s it!

Mother knifed to death in front of her child, 4, had her Facebook status changed to 'sleeping around' shortly before attack


Leanne McNuff's mother found her daughter with stab wounds after hearing 'banging noises' from her home next door
Her soldier boyfriend Ian Lowe, 24, on leave from serving in Afghanistan, is being questioned over killing
Tributes paid to 'stunning' mother who had been 'transformed' by the birth of her son Jaden
The couple's relationship had been strained in recent years and they had broken up once before





A young mother was stabbed to death in front of her four-year-old son after someone changed her Facebook status to 'sleeping around'.
Leanne McNuff, 24, was knifed just an hour after phoning her best friend to say her account had been hacked.
Her soldier boyfriend Ian Lowe, 24, was arrested shortly after she was attacked in front of her son Jaden in her semi-detached home in Droylsden, Greater Manchester.

Today the Private, from 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment who was leave from serving in Afghanistan, was still being questioned by police over the killing on Sunday evening.
Leanne's best friend Emma Barlow, 26, said she had been worried that someone had hacked her Facebook account shortly before she was attacked.
Emma said: 'I spoke to her around 50 minutes before it happened. She was having problems with her Facebook and had phoned me for help.

'She thought someone had hacked into her account and changed her password. Jaden was still up and I could hear him in the background.'
'Someone had changed her Facebook status and it was saying nasty things about her - things that weren't true.

'She was upset because it was saying things about her sleeping around - it was all untrue. I was trying to contact Facebook.'
24-year-old Leanne McNuff was taken to hospital on Sunday night with stab wounds where she was pronounced dead a short time later
Emma said she discovered her friend, a former call centre worker, had been knifed to death on the radio news.
She added: 'Later I heard about her death on the radio. They hadn't named her, it just said a young girl had been stabbed.
'My stomach just jumped when I Googled it and I started screaming. I was texting and ringing Leanne but got no reply so I feared the worst.'

After the knife attack Leanne's mother Margaret and brother Ryan who live next door dashed round to the house to find the young woman dying.
Emma said: 'I just feel desperately sad and devastated for Jaden. He was great with my little one. He was Leanne's world and she was his. It's unbearable.'
Leanne’s mother paid tribute to her daughter in a statement she released through the police.

She said: 'Leanne was loved by everyone and was an honest and upfront young woman. We are all just devastated. We feel numb and empty.
'Leanne was a beautiful, kind-hearted and generous girl, who lived and breathed for her four-year-old son Jaden, who in turn idolised and adored his mummy.

'Leanne had a great sense of humour, with lovely manners, and was loved by everyone who knew her.'
Leanne and Pte Lowe, 24, spoke to local media in February 2008 when the soldier returned from a tour of Iraq to see his son Jaden for the first time.



he said: 'She was such a lovely girl. She looked after her son very well and she had a good job before she became pregnant.
'She was full of life, intelligent, bubbly and very pretty. As a mother she doted on her little boy - it was the making of her. She comes from a good family who supported her.
'We feel robbed and angry. As a family we are just devastated - what a waste of life. Nobody deserves to die at 24. My sister is going through hell.'

A former pupil of Fairfield high school in Droylsden and Tameside College, Leanne had worked at ATA security before becoming a mother.
Detective Inspector Graham Brock from Greater Manchester Police said: 'Our thoughts are with Leanne's family and friends at this time, who are understandably distraught that their loved one has been taken from them in this way.

'We are in the early stages of the investigation and are working to establish the full circumstances of what has happened.

'I would like to reassure residents that we do not believe there is any danger to the wider community, as we believe this is an isolated incident. We would urge anyone who may have seen or heard anything to contact us.'

Leanne's friend said she had been planning to move to Catterick, north Yorkshire, to be near Lowe, who was stationed at the garrison there with his battalion.

Soldiers who are stationed in the UK live in barracks during the week and are free to leave at weekends unless they are on duty.
Suspect Private Lowe was on leave from the army after serving time in Afghanistan when he was arrested.

Last week one of his comrades Sgt Nigel Coupe, 33, was killed along with five other soldiers when a Taliban roadside bomb destroyed their Warrior armoured vehicle in Helmand Province.
An Army spokesman said: 'We can confirm that on March 11, a serving soldier from 1 LANCS was arrested on suspicion of murder.
'The matter is subject to an ongoing police investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment further whilst this is ongoing. All enquiries should be directed to Greater Manchester Police.'

Def Jam Records has a New President


Island Def Jam Music Group, a division of Universal Music Group (UMG), today announced its appointment of Joie Manda to President of Def Jam Recordings. The announcement was made by Barry Weiss, Chairman & CEO of Universal Republic and Island Def Jam to whom he reports. Mr. Manda will be based in NY.

“As we look to expand Def Jam and our creative urban music activities even further, there is no one better to lead them than Joie,” said Mr. Weiss. “He has emerged as one of the most respected young executives in today’s Urban music landscape, possessing all the qualifications and experience that are essential to run Def Jam, the world’s most important hip-hop destination. The entire Def Jam family looks forward to working closely with Joie as he puts his unique imprint on the next chapter in the label’s storied and successful history.”

“Running Def Jam is the greatest challenge of my career,” said Mr. Manda, “and I am appreciative to Barry Weiss for his faith in appointing me to this position. I’m excited to work alongside Steve Bartels, who is one of the most talented music execs in the business and who has played such an important role in building the IDJ team. The Def Jam artist roster has always been synonymous with the greatest in hip-hop, and I intend to carry that tradition into the future.”

Mr. Manda comes to Def Jam from Warner Bros. Records, a division of Warner Music Group (WMG), where he served as head of Urban Music since September 2010 and was involved in the signing of Common, Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group (Wale, Meek Mill), Waka Flocka Flame and Jill Scott, among others. He started at WMG as Executive Vice President of Asylum Records, starting when the label was revived in 2004 and signed Paul Wall and Bun B. Mr. Manda began his career in music as an artist manager.

With a $5m price-tag and 1,292 diamonds, is this the world's most expensive watch?

A Swiss watchmaker unveiled today what is believed to be the world's most expensive timepiece.
Hublot's new watch, which has a price tag of $5million, dazzles with a staggering 140 carats of diamonds, all set in white gold.

The precious stones cover the entire face, as well as the band, giving an appearance more akin to fine jewellery than practical accessory.
Hublot, which usually sells its watches for an average of $24,000, debuted its creation at the annual Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Show, which opened to the public today.
Company president, Jean-Claude Biver, explained that it would be hard to make a more expensive watch 'because the surface of the watch is limited

Hublot, which usually sells its watches for an average of $24,000, debuted its creation at the annual Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Show, which opened to the public today.
Company president, Jean-Claude Biver, explained that it would be hard to make a more expensive watch 'because the surface of the watch is limited

Despite the price tag, it seems Hublot will have no trouble selling the high-end creation.
Mr Biver revealed that several people had already expressed interest in acquiring it, although he could not disclose any further details.

Though many retail sectors have been suffering in the economic downturn, luxury brands, Hublot included, are thriving.
The watchmaker celebrated a record year in 2011, with sales up by 30 per cent, and Mr Biver says he is expecting the same for 2012

HORROR!Son kept father's body in bed for five months so he could claim his benefits while telling 10-year-old daughter he was just asleep


A man left his father's dead body in bed for nearly five months so he could claim his benefit payments - even telling his innocent 10-year-old daughter that her grandfather was just asleep.

Christopher Blackburn was jailed for three years after police found the body of his father Guy, 54, on a bed in the living room of his home in Penwortham, Lancashire.
The macabre discovery was made after neighbours raised concerns when they did not see the elder Mr Blackburn for five months.
Blackburn had been living at the house alongside the body but kept quiet about his father's death as he pocketed nearly £2,000.
The 29-year-old, now of Birkby, Huddersfield, admitted preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body between October 31, 2010 and March 22 last year.
He also pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to theft after collecting £1,869 of his father's income support payments from the post office.

Sentencing him at Preston Crown Court, Recorder Judge Anthony Russell said: 'Such offending is abhorrent to all decent-minded people who will be disgusted by your behaviour.
'It was callous and offensive to his [Guy Blackburn's] friends and family who no doubt have been caused considerable distress by these circumstances.
'It also seems to me that you were motivated in part by greed.'
Blackburn falsely told police he had spoken to his father since November 2010 and had had a drink with him at Christmas


An inquest last February was told Mr Blackburn had a long history of poor health, including heart attacks and strokes, and had been in ‘extremely emaciated’ with a protruding rib cage and long fingernails.

He had lived in the house for 26 years but his health had deteriorated due to heavy drinking and smoking and he was largely confined to his bed after returning from a spell in hospital.
Distressing: Christopher Blackburn even lied to his 10-year-old daughter and told her her grandfather was asleep
His dead body was found last March after neighbours became concerned for his welfare, having not seen him since the previous October.
The neighbours contacted Eaves Brook Housing Association, and police then visited the house, where they found Mr Blackburn’s partially mummified body on a bed in the front room.

A post mortem examination revealed he had died of coronary artery atheroma, with no evidence his death could have been suspicious. A verdict of death by natural causes was recorded.
Judge Russell told Blackburn: 'You pretended he was still alive, misleading others - particularly your own daughter, a little girl.

'You have shown little remorse for your offending.

'A decent person would have immediately admitted to the police that this poor man had died months before but you tried to pretend he had been dead for only days.'
Det Insp Marc Nasser of Lancashire Police said: 'This is an unusual case and it is the first of its type that we have dealt with in Lancashire.

'It was a challenging crime and one that most members of the community will have found appalling and I am pleased that Blackburn has now been punished for what he did.'
One neighbour said: 'I had always got on with Guy, he was a nice bloke, but I had not seen him for ages. I kept asking his son if he was OK, and he would say "yes".

'We thought his son was looking after him, I was constantly saying "Is your dad alright?" and obviously he was not. It is not nice, it has upset me.'
Another neighbour said: 'Guy was a friendly chap who would do anything for anybody.
'“It has made me so upset, you do not leave an animal like that. When you think it is your dad, it is even worse. I would like to remember him before he got ill having a laugh and a joke, not dying the way he did.'

Kim Kardashian Topless: She Takes Off Blond Wig—and Her Shirt—in Sexy New Photo



Just one day after Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing a blond wig—not to mention giving us a glimpse of her hot new lingerie ad with sisters Kourtney and Khloé a few hours later—the E! reality star decided to lose the fake 'do...and a whole lot more

Kim graciously posted this Instagram photo of herself topless during the wee hours of Tuesday morning, wearing pretty much next to nothing but a tiny pair of pale-pink tap pants and covering her chest with a white sheet.
"Can't sleep tonight..." she tweeted.
Of course, now we won't be able to, either

Teens Destroy $500,000 Home after seeing “Project X”



Police arrested 13 people Friday after being called to the property by a private investigator working for the builders who owned the property.

Investigator Mark Stephens said when he quizzed the teens over the damage they told him they were copying what happened in the film Project X.

U.S prisoner caught sneaking into women's cell block for sex with inmate he chatted up via jail's ventilation system
'I asked some of the kids why, and they said 'Project X.' said Mr Stephens.
'And I said, 'OK what’s 'Project X?'
Released earlier this month, the film Project X fictionally documents the story of three High School teens in California who attempt to make a name for themselves by throwing the biggest party.

Matters spiral out of control as words about the party spreads and the house they host the party in is destroyed by fire, along with parts of the neighbourhood.
'When you look at the movie, and you look at what happened here, the parallels are the uncanny,' said Mr Stephens.
'It was a copycat. They did everything that I saw in the movie. There were liquor bottles, beer bottles. I mean it was a big party,' he said

Among the bottles, sheet-rock inescapably lay ripped across the floor mixed with the glass from the two-story home's many windows.
Doors, torn from their hinges, contributed to the piles while above them, holes punctured the walls.
But with the mayhem in Texas, the Houston party wasn't the only planned party inspired by the R rated film for that same weekend.

Two Canadian teens in Calgary are still cooling the embers of a Twitter party invite launched last weekend using the hashtag #ProjectKris, a play on the new movie's title

The tweet spread worldwide, received as far as Japan, Australia and the Middle East, with high school student organizer Hunter Mills promising to send the location's address at its start.

After the teens were contacted by local police warning them of the repercussions, however, especially as the event was planned for one of their homes, the students opted for a night club's address that was 18 years and up instead.

Back south in Houston, police arrested 13 teens at the scene of the 4,000sq ft wrecked home last week, while in Calgary, #ProjectKris was deemed by many as the 'let down of the century.
Of the 13 arrested, two of those were juveniles and were released into the care of their parents.

The other 11 were charged with criminal trespass and taken to jail.

Stephens said the teens are alleged to have broken into another home in the street to hold a party.

With the home's builder estimating the repair costs to be between $80,000 to $100,000, the teens are expected to face serious criminal charges

Man attempts suicide in Abuja to protest alleged Atiku’s N15m debt


ABUJA – There was pandemonium at the Federal High Court in Abuja, yesterday, as a man who gave his name as Musa Inuah Dalhatu, climbed a telecom mast located within the court, saying he would commit suicide unless the Chief Judge invoked his powers and compels former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to pay him a N15 million debt.

Inuah, a middle aged man, alleged that he had executed a project for the former Vice President while he was in power to the tune of N15m, saying efforts to recover the money had proved abortive.

Hanging precariously at the zenith of the mast which is equivalent of a 15-storey building, the protester said he would not come down until either Atiku was produced in court or the Inspector General of Police agrees to investigate the veracity of his allegation with a view to recovering his money.

All entreaties for Inuah who was sighted on top of the mast around 12:15 yesterday, fell on deaf ears till around 4pm when a rescue team comprising of officers from the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA; Nigeria Federal Fire Service and a team of Police officers led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sunday Odukoya and the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Moshood Jimoh, finally persuaded him to come down around 4:25pm yesterday.

Investigations by Vanguard revealed that the man had earlier approached the High Court registry with a copy of his petition against Atiku, demanding to see the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta.

Upon perusing the documents he tendered, the court clerk advised him to go and engage the services of a legal practitioner, stressing that he could not see the CJ unless he was in the company of his lawyer.

The court clerk equally urged Inuah to take the case before a High Court in Adamawa state, stressing that the High Court in Abuja was without the requisite jurisdiction to entertain the case.

Dissatisfied with the treatment meted out to him by the court officials, Inuah started creating a scene at the registry located at the 3rd floor of the court complex , an action that forced security men to order him out of the court premises.

Immediately he stepped outside the court, Inua quickly ran to the back of the building and climbed the telecom mast.

A source at the court said Inua had told a security man that accosted him when he was going to the back of the building that he was going to ease himself.

Armed with a copy of his protest letter entitled “I will not come down until the Federal Government and Nigerians come into this matter”, the man started shouting, thereby drawing attention.


From right: Inuah on top of the mast and being whisked away by security men.

The said letter was copied to the IGP, the National Human Right Commission, NHRC, Public Complaint Commission, Brigadier Commander Nigerian Army Yola, Adamawa state governor, the Director of SSS Adamawa state, and the Adamawa state Emirate Council.

Shortly after he came down yesterday, the man was whisked away by the police and taken to the Police Headquarters in Abuja.

Meantime, media aide to the former Vice President, Mr Garba Shehu, yesterday, dismissed Inua’s allegation, saying he is mentally deranged.

According to Shehu, “We honestly suspect that this man is mental, if there is one Nigerian who pays all his bills that one is Atiku Abubakar. If the idea of this pole climber is to get N2million from the Turaki, this certainly is not the best way to go about it.

“Were it left to me, I will say that the man should simply be ignored. He will climb down when he gets tired of staying up there.”

"I own Mohits; Don Jazzy is my artist" D'banj speaks from America


"Coming from Africa I’m my own manager, I have my own label called Mo’ Hits with my artists Dr. Sid, Wande Coal, Don Jazzy, D’Prince and K-Switch. I own Mo’ Hits and we’ve won numerous awards by the grace of God." D'banj tells Ebony Magazine. Read the full interview Culled from Ebony.com On Sunday (Feb. 19), fans from as far away as Maryland packed into New York City’s Irving Plaza to see D’banj, Nigeria’s biggest Afrobeat star in concert. The self-proclaimed “Kokomaster” hit the stage to screams and even fainting, as one woman sunk to the floor after D’banj touched her hand. Running through his three albums No Long Thing, Rundown Funk U Up and The Entertainer including his international hit “Oliver Twist,” the MC born Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo commanded the stage with waist wines, glittering outfits and jokes about his “Koko,” also known as his manhood. EBONY.com: How will you break into America’s entertainment scene? D’BANJ: I’m bringing my culture, my music and preaching the gospel. We’ve been learning from America’s Hollywood scene and other areas in Africa because our continent is developing. We look up to the way you’ve built your industry and we try to do ours in the best that we know. It’s so good to see that Americans appreciate my music so that’s what I’m bringing, just original Africa. EBONY.com: How did you join Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label? D’BANJ: I had a concert in Dubai and when we pulled up to the airport’s first class lounge and a hostess ran up to me with a plaque with Kanye’s face on it, asking me to sign it. I said ‘I’m not Kanye West, I’m D’banj but Kanye West is coming? All eyes open.’ Then my manager spoke to Kanye, came back and told me ‘He’ll give you five minutes.’ I walked over -- as an African man I’m always prepared -- and I played my music ‘Stand Out,’ ‘Fall In Love’ and ‘Scapegoat’ for him on my iPod. Before we knew it, I’d almost missed my flight and he invited me to New York. Coming from Africa I’m my own manager, I have my own label called Mo’ Hits with my artists Dr. Sid, Wande Coal, Don Jazzy, D’Prince and K-Switch. I own Mo’ Hits and we’ve won numerous awards by the grace of God. Being with Kanye for the last eight months and me leading a successful label in Africa, I’ve learned a lot and I believe people will see what we’re going to do. I signed with Kanye in June and that same month I won the BET Award for Best International Act. My New York concert isn’t done by G.O.O.D. Music, it’s done by Live Nation, meaning I’m already a moving machine. So who better to introduce me to the global world than Kanye West, a crazy genius? EBONY.com: What is your chemistry like in the studio with West? D’BANJ: Kanye doesn’t try to change you. He has great ears and great people working with him. I learned the way people do music in America is different, number one, the budget. You don’t have to rush a song, you can take your time. I was glad because I have a studio in my home but I thought I was doing too much. I’ve been working with everyone else on G.O.O.D. Music too and John Legend and I worked together in London recently. It’s been great experience, I just beg people to listen with an open mind.

Summer 2011 Movies: The Best, The Worst, & Some Surprises


Most Disappointing Comic Book Movie - Green Lantern





Some two and a half months have passed since this superhero title hit theaters, and fans are still a bit tetchy, to say the least. While the majority of professional critics agree the movie was a mediocre attempt to realize the Green Lantern universe in live-action form, there remains a vocal minority of the fan community who feel that director Martin Campbell’s comic book flick is undeserving of all the flak it’s had to endure.

One thing we can (hopefully) all agree on is that Green Lantern certainly could’ve been better. Case in point: how many people who had never read a Lantern comic book prior to seeing the film honestly walked away afterwards with a solid understanding of how the Green Lantern Corps works? Or didn’t think there were there, at times, some gaping holes in the plot? Or didn’t feel that Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan kind of came off as DC’s answer to Marvel’s Iron Man - but not in a good way?

Perhaps this “I’m a Marvel… and I’m a DC” skit put it best: We all love the Hal Jordan character – now we just want to see him appear in a good movie.


Best Comic Book Movie – Captain America: The First Avenger


This summer, it turned out the best superhero comic book movie was being saved for last.

Thor and X-Men: First Class were both solid, but it was the second Marvel in-house production, Captain America: The First Avenger, that was arguably the overall best pure superhero movie of the season. It was appropriately old-fashioned in design, didn’t have to devote too much effort to setting up The Avengers – heck, it even came up with a clever explanation for why its main character runs around with a bullseye on his shield!

Captain America didn’t boast the enthralling action set pieces that some of its comic book movie peers have offered, but it was a fun blockbuster that featured some great characters, pleased comic book enthusiasts with its similarities to the source material – and, most importantly, made people all the more excited to see Steve Rogers return in both The Avengers and future Captain America solo ventures.
