Jay Z & Beyonce Fans Launch Petition For Full-Length "Run" Film

Jay Z & Beyonce Fans Launch Petition For Full-Length "Run" Film

The Change.org petition asks for Jay Z and Beyonce to make a full-length film for "Run."
Jay Z and Beyonce fans have launched a petition via Change.org for a full-length Run film.
The petition was started by Devante Jones of Lexington Park, Maryland, according to Change.org.
"After the release of Beyoncé and JAY Z's RUN trailer which was released on May 18th, 2014, millions of fans across the world became devastated after seeing 'coming never' at the end of the exciting and action packed RUN trailer. We, the BeyHive and JAY Z fans would love for our two favorite artists to actually make a full length movie based off of the trailer. Why? It would most definitely sell millions, it's also casted so perfectly (Don Cheadle, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sean Penn) and most importantly, it would make your fans happy. We love you B and Jay, you two have to make this happen. Please, the world wants the ON THE RUN movie!"
The petition has garnered 3,000 signatures at press time.
Beyonce and Jay Z act as stars in what appears to be a film trailer, which also features Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Emmy Rossum, Guillermo Diaz, Rashida and Kidada Jones. The trailer also says it was presented by Rocnation and Parkwood Entertainment and that the work is directed by Melina Matsoukas. According to the clip, producers for the project are Jonathan Lia and Inga Veronique. Executive producers are Chaka Pilgrim and Candice Ouaknine, Shawn Carter and Beyonce Knowles Carter. Dave Devlin and Paul Laufer are Run's directors of photography. The trailer says it's "coming never." View the trailer here.

Lil Boosie Says He Feels Like Tupac: "It's My Time Now"

Lil Boosie Says He Feels Like Tupac: "It's My Time Now"

Lil Boosie: "I feel like Tupac because when he came home, it was his time. I feel like it's my time now."
Lil Boosie says coming home from prison has given him a different perspective on his career.
“I’d heard my buzz had grown, but there’s a difference between hearing it and seeing these Instagrams and Free Boosie tattoos,” Boosie says in an interview with XXL. “I feel like Tupac because when he came home, it was his time. I feel like it’s my time now.”
Recently, the rapper said his upcoming Touchdown 2 Cause Hell album is set to be the best double disc since Tupac's All Eyez On Me.
In April 2014, Boosie addressed comparisons to Tupac.
"I feel Tupac [is] Tupac and Boosie [is] Boosie," he said. "I think people do that because we both have heartfelt music that touch people heart. We both have similarities. I guess we both got in trouble, too, but I just feel it's real music and a pleasure to be given that credit, but Tupac [is] Tupac and Boosie [is] Boosie."
Boosie's time in prison also served another purpose, according to the Louisiana rapper.
“What I’ve been through just gives me more stories to tell," he says in the more recent XXL piece. "I’ve got a drive for success in me now. I want to show people that you can’t stop me,” he says. “You can’t stop me, man.”

Charlie Sheen Calls Rihanna A "Village Idiot"

Charlie Sheen Calls Rihanna A "Village Idiot"
Charlie Sheen says it was a pleasure not to meet Rihanna
Charlie Sheen, apparently upset that Rihanna did not meet his fiancée, has launched a Twitter statement about his unrealized Rihanna encounter.
The actor refers to Rihanna as an idiot and he makes fun of her current hair color in the statement, which is below.
"so,
I took my gal out to dinner
last night with her best
friends for her Bday.
we heard Rihanna was present as well.
I sent a request over to her table to introduce my fiancé
Scotty to her, as she is a
huge fan.
(personally I couldn't pick her out of a line-up at gunpoint)
well, the word we received back was that there were too
many paps outside and it just wasn't possible at this time.
At this time? AT THIS TIME??
lemme guess, we're to reschedule another random
11 million to 1 encounter
with her some other night...?
no biggie for me; it would have been 84 interminable seconds of chugging Draino and
"please kill me now"
that I'd never get back.
My Gal, however,
was NOT OK with it.
Nice impression you
left behind, Bday or not.
Sorry we're not KOOL enough
to warrant a blessing from
the Princess.
(or in this case
the Village idiot)
you see THIS is the reason
that I ALWAYS take the time.
THIS is why I'm in this thing
31 awesome years.
Good will and
common courtesy, carefully
established over time to exist radically in concert
with a code of gratitude!
I guess "Talk That Talk"
was just a big ol lie from
a big ol liar.
oh and Riahnna,
Halloween isn't for a while.
but good on you for testing out your costume in public.
it's close; a more muted pink might be the answer,
as in:
none.
See ya on the way down,
(we always do)

and actually,
it was a pleasure NOT
meeting you.
clearly we have NOTHING
in common when it comes
to respect for those who've
gone before you.
I'm guessing you needed those precious 84 seconds
to situate that bad wig
before you left the restaurant.
Here's a tip from a real vet
of this terrain;
If ya don't wanna get bothered
DONT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE!
and if this "Prison of Fame"
is soooooooo unnerving and
difficult, then QUIT, junior!

A court in Egypt has sentenced former President Hosni Mubarak to three years in prison after finding him guilty of embezzling public funds.
His two sons, Alaa and Gamal, were also convicted and given four-year terms.
The three were also fined $3m (£1.8m) and ordered to repay the $17.6m (£10.4m) they were accused of stealing.
The 86-year-old is also on trial for abuse of power and conspiring in the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that forced him to resign.
He was found guilty of the charge relating to the protesters in 2012 along with his former Interior Minister, Habib al-Adly, and sentenced to life in prison.
But in January 2013 the Court of Cassation upheld an appeal by the two men against their convictions and ordered a retrial.
In August, a court ordered Mubarak’s release from prison and transfer to a military hospital in Cairo, where he is being held under house arrest.

Filipino maid in Saudi says boss's mother scalded her

Disturbing and graphic images have emerged on Facebook that appear to show a Filipino maid with burns all over her back, arms and legs after her Saudi boss's mother allegedly poured boiling water on her.
The 23-year-old woman, Pahima Alagai Palacasi, was at the home of her employer's mother on May 4 when "her sponsor's mother poured boiled water over Palacasi due to a simple misunderstanding," according to a Philippines Labor Ministry statement posted Tuesday.
While at hospital, Palacasi was able to reach a relative who lives in Riyadh who helped her sneak out of hospital. The cousin then posted graphic photos of Palacasi's wounds on Facebook, showing bright pink and white scalded skin all over her back, the backs of her arms, and parts of her leg, according to the ministry statement.

The Philippines government said it would help Palacasi file a case against her employer and has suspended the work of the Saudi recruitment agency that hired her. The English-language Saudi daily Arab News reported Wednesday that Riyadh police were conducting a joint investigation of the case.
Palacasi alleges that her employer began physically abusing her within days of her arrival, kicking and lashing her after she complained of being homesick. She also claimed her employers deprived her of food.
"[My employer's mother] asked me to throw away all the leftover food but I didn't do it so that when I got hungry I could have something to eat," Palacasi said in a cellphone video reportedly taken by her cousin and released to ABS-CBM, a CNN affiliate in the Philipines. CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video.
"Please help me," Palacasi says in the video. "Help me file a case against my employer. I suffered a lot."
Palacsi is currently at an embassy shelter in Riyadh. "She is stable, in high spirits, and is relating well with fellow [Filipino workers]" according to the government statement. CNN has been unable to reach Palacasi or her cousin.

US Congress Reveal Where Boko Haram Received Training

Members of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs have disclosed that members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect were trained by Al-Qaeda.
Ed Royce
Ed Royce
Speaking on Wednesday, May 21 during the Committee’s Hearing on the Menace of Boko Haram tagged: ‘Boko Haram- The Growing Threat To School Girls, Nigeria And Beyond’, the Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Ed Royce said, being trained by the global terrorist sect meant greater terror for Nigerians, and greater challenges for Nigerian security forces.
The government of the United States had earlier said that Boko Haram sect, is not a branch of the global terrorist organization, Al Qaeda and it should be treated as 'its own terrorist group.'
Meanwhile, President Jonathan had during the security summit hosted by French President Francois Hollande in Paris on Saturday described the Boko Haram, as the “al Qaeda of West Africa."
The Nigerian government has been fighting tooth and nail to curb Boko Haram which has been one of its biggest challenges and so far, all efforts have proved futile.
Despite troops of Nigerian soldiers sent to the areas being terrorised by Boko Haram, they are wrecking havoc, killing innocent people and destroying properties.
They have gained global recognition and their name seems to be on everyone's lips at the moment after they abducted over 200 girls from their school in Chibok. The government is working with foreign countries to make sure the girls are released and returned safely to their homes.

60-day jail sentence for father who killed daughter with slap

Moussa Sidime was not satisfied with how 13-year-old was doing her chores

 60-day jail sentence for father who killed daughter with slap

 

Moussa Sidime, third from right, returns to the Longueuil court room with family and friends after a break, Sidime plead guilty to killing his daughter by slapping her, The judge sentenced him to 30 day in jail and two years probation in Longueuil, Wednesday, May 21, 2014.

MONTREAL – A father who killed his daughter by slapping her when he wasn’t satisfied with how she was doing her chores has been sentenced to a sixty-day prison term.
Moussa Sidime, 73, was emotional before the sentence was read out by a judge at the Longueuil courthouse on Wednesday morning.
The judge who heard sentencing arguments earlier this year agreed with the prosecution that a prison term would be appropriate to denounce and dissuade the way Sidime treated his 13-year-old daughter Noutene when he slapped her.
Quebec Court Judge Richard Marleau sentenced Sidime to a prison term he was likely to be able to serve on weekends. This will be followed by two years of probation.
Marleau said he allowed the 60-day sentence to be served in a discontinuous fashion because of Sidime’s age and his good reputation in his community.
Sidime already served 19 days while he was detained following his arrest in 2010.
The defence had requested a suspended sentence.

Nigerian Transgender Miss Sahhara has spoken out after getting abused yesterday by Nigerians.




She went on her facebook and decided to air out her views on those she tagged her haters.
She described these individuals as having boring life and can't come close to what she has achieved in life physically.
She also denied reports that she got her body shape through plastic surgery , she said it was through hard and smart work, understanding her body.

Actor Michael Jace threatened to kill his first wife over visitation rights for their son: report

Jace's penchant for violence was revealed in court records generated during a bitter divorce with his first wife, Jennifer Bitterman. On Monday, he was taken into custody after the alleged fatal shooting of his current wife, April.

“The Shield” actor Michael Jace once threatened to kill his first wife if she “went to war” over visitation rights for their son, according to reports.
Jace’s simmering penchant for violence — which exploded in deadly gunfire in Los Angeles Monday night when he allegedly shot his current wife, April — was laid out in court records generated during a bitter divorce from his first wife, Jennifer Bitterman.
But Jace’s doomed wife testified more than a decade ago that her then-fiancé was a good provider for Jordan and called Bitterman a bad mother. At the time, she relayed the boy’s chilling concerns for his mom.
“Usually at bedtime, (Jordan) prays for his mom and asks God to protect her while he’s not there with her,” she told the Los Angeles divorce court, according to the records obtained by TMZ.com.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Jace threatened to kill Bitterman if she fought for visitation rights.
April bore the brunt of Jace’s fury about 8:30 p.m. Monday. About 15 minutes after she returned home with their two sons from baseball practice, Jace allegedly shot her multiple times. They had argued over money, police said.
A look at Michael Jace's acting career. A friend of his ex told the court an out-of-control Jace, best known for playing a sexually conflicted cop on the long-running FX series, choked his wife and slammed her against a wall as then-6-month-old Jordan screamed in his nearby crib.
“Seeing the extent of his anger was one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen,” she said, according to court records.

“This is more than a shock,” the slain woman’s big brother, Carlo Laune, told the Daily News. “It’s out of this world.”
Laune, a 44-year-old Marine, said he had no inkling Jace and his sister were at odds.
“I was on two combat deployments with the Marine Corps and she wrote to me like clockwork,” he said. “She knew what dedication was. She knew what love was.”Michael Jace's acting caree“At the very least, (the kids) heard the shots,” LAPD Detective Sal LaBarbera told the Los Angeles TimesIt’s not clear where Jace, 51, got the gun. On a statement of the actor’s assets, he checked a box

Jace reportedly confessed to the murder after making a damning 911 call for help. “I shot my wife,” he reportedly told the operator, according to TMZ.com.
Jace stayed on the line and was standing in the doorway when cops arrived and found his 40-year-old wife’s body sprawled in a hallway. While Jace was hauled off to jail, the couples’ two young sons — both of whom are under 10 — were turned over to their maternal grandmother.
The suspected killer was booked on suspicion of homicide and ordered held on $1 million bail. It’s not clear he’ll be able to raise the money. The Paterson, N.J.-born actor filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and listed debts of $500,000 to $1 million — most of it owed on his home in the Hyde Park section, The Associated Press reported.
Jace also owed more than $22,000 in income taxes, and still owed the state of California more than $20,000 in back taxes for 2008. As part of the bankruptcy, Jace agreed to a repayment plan, but by last November he had already fallen $2,000 behind, according to the AP.
Jace and his wife were married for 10 years and her Facebook page has pictures of the couple in happier days.
April worked in the financial aid office at Biola University, a private Christian college in L.A. She also had a grown son from an earlier relationship

Elena Rybolovelva, ex-wife of Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, awarded $4.8B in divorce ruling

The unprecedented judgment made in a Swiss court will also be used as leverage by Elena Rybolovelva's attorneys to take the fertilizer magnate's $88 million Central Park West apartment.

Elena Rybolovleva was married to one of the world's richest men and now she has received the world's largest divorce award of $4.8 billion. She just snared the largest divorce award in history — a whopping $4.8 billion — and now a scorned Russian divorcée is eying one of the priciest pads ever sold in New York.
Elena Rybolovleva, 47, plans to use the divorce ruling by the Swiss court to grab a hold of her now-ex-husband Dmitry Rybolovlev’s spectacular $88 million Central Park West apartment, one of her lawyers told the Daily News.
“We should be able to liquidate it” to help satisfy the judgment, David Newman said.
The megabucks judgment from the Geneva court calls for Rybolovlev to pay his ex $4,509,375,184.80 — more than half his estimated $8.8 billion fortune. That comes to about $184 million for each one of their 26 years of marriage.
The Russian — nicknamed “the fertilizer king” for how he made his fortune — also has to give her $146 million in property in Gstaad, Switzerland, and fork over alimony payments that will total $150 million, bringing her total haul to $4.8 billion.
Dmitry Rybolovlev's net worth is estimated at $8.8 billion, and more than half will go to his ex-wife. VALERY HACHE/AFP/Getty Images Dmitry Rybolovlev's net worth is estimated at $8.8 billion, and more than half will go to his ex-wife.
She was awarded custody of their 13-year-old daughter Anna, and he has to pay a $7.5 million lump sum and $150,000-a-month in child support.
Rybolovlev got served with the record-shattering judgment on Monday, more than five years after his fed-up wife served him with divorce papers.
“He was not very subtle with his infidelities,” Newman said.
She sought to freeze his bank accounts, and Rybolovlev went on a wild spending spree — apparently aimed at keeping his money out of her hands. He bought a share of French soccer league team AS Monaco, spent $156 million for two Greek islands that used to belong to Aristotle Onassis, shelled out $95 million for Donald Trump’s 33,000-square-foot Palm Beach estate and blew $20 million on a Hawaiian estate once owned by actor Will Smith.

He also spent a then-record $88 million for his New York apartment — a 10-bedroom penthouse at 15 Central Park West.
Rybolovlev claimed the property wasn’t for him — he’d bought it as “student housing” for their daughter Ekaterina, now 24. His spurned spouse’s suit said the fertilizer magnate was full of it, because Ekaterina was going to school in Boston. Rybolovleva, who now lives in Switzerland, started court proceedings in New York, Florida and Hawaii to bar her hubby from transferring the properties while their divorce was pending.
“We want to be able to show he really owns these properties,” which were purchased through various trusts, said Newman, of Day Pitney.
Rybolovlev’s lawyer, Tetiana Bersheda, told The Associated Press, “there will definitely be a new appellate review and therefore this judgment is not final.”

UFOs Crash In China; Villagers Shocked By ‘Huge Ball Of Fire’

n-CHINAUFO2014-large570

Residents of villages in the Heilongjiang province of China reported three UFOs fell from the sky on Friday morning, according to the China News Service. The circular, metallic objects crashed to the ground of two counties after “villagers heard…a huge piercing sound, and then some villagers saw a big fireball” that eventually fell in a vegetable garden owned by one of the residents. “I saw a huge ball of fire, I thought it was a meteorite,” one villager said,Chinatopix.com reported. “I hid inside my house and waited until the object…landed.” China News further described the ball-shaped objects as silver-gray, “surrounded by jagged edges and burn marks.” The object pictured in this story is reported to be “about 2-and-a-half-feet wide and weighing nearly 90 pounds,” according to OpenMinds.TV. While investigators arrived on the scene of the vegetable garden to examine the object, stories began to emerge, offering a possible explanation for all the excitement. According to Ecnsthe official English-language website of China News Service, just before the Chinese village residents witnessed unidentified flying objects in the sky above them, a Russian Proton-M rocket — carrying a communications satellite — experienced engine failure shortly after its launch Friday morning, burning up in Earth’s atmosphere. While Russia maintains their rocket mostly disintegrated above Earth, China media suggests some unburned portions of the rocket accounts for those objects that crashed

Chibok Abduction: 2 Israeli Anti-terror Experts Arrive Nigeria

Israel has sent two anti-terror experts to Nigeria to join the search for hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by extremist Islamist group Boko Haram, an Israeli security source said on Tuesday.
“There are in Nigeria two advisers who have dealt in terrorist matters in the past,” he told AFP. “They were sent there by the state to help.” The pair were not currently serving as intelligence personnel for the Israeli government. “They are not soldiers, not officers. They are not part of the security system,” the source added. On May 11, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan with an offer to help search for more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped byBoko Haram. “We are prepared to help in locating the girls and to fight the cruel terror which has struck you,” Netanyahu’s office quoted him as telling the president. Jonathan accepted immediately. “President Jonathan welcomed the offer by Mr Netanyahu to send a team of Israeli counter-terrorism experts to assist in the ongoing search and rescue operations,” the Nigerian leader’s office said. Specialist teams from the United States, Britain, and France have been sent to help in the search opera

Couple Charged For Starving Their Infant To Death

A Barrington, Illinois couple was charged on Friday with starving their infant daughter to death. The parents, Gene Edwards and Markisha Jones, are now in jail on $250,000 bond each. Edwards and Jones called Barrington Police on January 8 after finding their seven-month-old baby Mya dead in their home. Police noticed the child looked extremely malnourished at the time, but waited until the toxicology report came back to rule a cause of death.That report came back last week, and police announced on Friday that Mya died of malnutrition from starvation. Mya’s twin sister was malnourished as well, though she is alive and now in foster care. During their investigation, Barrington police discovered Edwards and Jones kept their young daughters in a cold, unfinished basement with only a space heater to keep them warm. The couple admitted they quit buying baby food and opted to feed their children water and some occasional cereal instead. Th

OK, apparently the bomb explosion that occurred this afternoon at the densely populated Terminus Market near Murtala Mohammed way in Jos is more serious than we thought. The twin explosion, which occurred 30 minutes apart, reportedly killed at least 200 people according to eye-witnesses, making it deadlier than the Nyanya blast.

‘I don’t have adopted children’ – Buhari denies rumours of his son’s arrest

Muhammadu-Buhari-1
News reports received yesterday alleged that an adopted son of former President Muhammadu Buhari was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on suspicion of fraud to the tune of N20 million.
However, General Buhari through his camp has stated that the reports are false as he has no adopted son.
This was contained in a statement released by the Buhari Vanguard on behalf of the General.
Read full statement below:
Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) wishes to state categorically that he does not have any adopted son called “Muhammadu Buhari” and had no need to adopt a son at any time having been blessed with choice children, both male and female.
Muhammadu Buhari and his family do not know the said “Muhammed Buhari” who is alleged to be involved in a N20m scam and is being held by EFCC as reported by Saharareporters.
It is regrettable to note that after several unsuccessful attempts to smear the hard earned respect, popularity, dignity, and enviable image of Muhammadu Buhari, mischief makers have resorted to a laughable tactic of linking Muhammadu Buhari to a crime just because someone who has been alleged to have committed a crime somewhere bears the name “Buhari”.
Muhammadu Buhari is blessed with very descent and disciplined children who obviously took after their father. His children have no single record of stealing and inordinate behavior anywhere in the world. They do not seek attention, but have proven the stuff their father is made of any time their character is put to test.
However, this is understandable, since the entire attempts by mischief makers to discredit Muhammadu Buhari as an individual have failed. We frown at this poorly articulated gimmick to indirectly link Muhammadu Buhari and his family to a crime allegedly committed by someone unknown to him and his family just for the fact that the said suspect bears the name “Muhammed Buhari”.
We urge Nigerians to ignore the said report as Muhammadu Buhari and his family will continue to set the pace for others to follow in good character and conduct.
