Goldie Cries Her Way Out Of Big Brother Stargame





Nigeria's representative in the 2012 Big Brother stargame and United Nations Youth Ambassador, Goldie Harvey  has been evicted from the house. The eviction of Goldie did not come as a surprise to many people.
Goldie has arguably had the most emotional stay in the House, all thanks to her tumultuous relationship with the Masai warrior, Prezzo. In the days leading up to the Eviction Show, Goldie has cried a river of tears and after a horrible fight with Prezzo this afternoon, Goldie told Big Brother she does not want to spend the last three hours of her stay in the House, fighting with the love of her life.

Before the results of this week's Evictions were released, Keagan had to face his fellow Housemates and reveal his 'Save and Replace' decision. The South African Housemate told a crushed Kyle that he had been put on the chopping block. The tension in the House before the big reveal was palpable. The two lovers stood as far apart from each other as they could and when it was announced Goldie would be leaving, the Nigerian Housemate simply walked out.

Prezzo then followed her to the big Eviction Doors and had one final conversation. "I'm sorry about earlier. Can I get a hug?" Goldie seemed to mull over her decision for a bit, but then relented.

As expected, Goldie bawled on stage, after seeing a video of the people who had Nominated her

Okene Explosion: Other Bombers May Be Headed For Abuja, Says Arrested Suspect



 3m360 learnt that a captured bomber involved in the car bombing of a gasoline station in Okene today made a startling confession that another car rigged with bombs and with two men at the controls may be headed to Abuja to carry out a bomb attack.
Today a bomb exploded beside a gasoline station in Okene Township in Kogi State.
 
Eyewitnesses told SaharaReporters that a vehicle parked close to a gas station exploded. A police source disclosed that the vehicle was apparently timed to cause significant fire by igniting underground gasoline tanks in the area. There are no reported casualties, even though the trunk of the car was ripped apart.
 
Moments before the car exploded, residents and auto mechanics in the area said they saw two men walk briskly away from the car. They reported that the two men entered a bush around the area, apparently to hide. A vigilant group searched the forest and found one of the two men and later handed him over to the Joint Task Force team in the township.
 
Our sources said the captured car bomber confessed that he and his accomplice were headed to Abuja in a gold-colored "Honda Academy" saloon car. The bombers stopped at the MPC gasoline station on Lagos road in the Obehira-Oro area of Okene and their vehicle, rigged with explosives, exploded minutes later close to a church.
 
A second bomb planted at the entrance of a church in the Okene exploded before the the end of church service. The Joint Military Task Force (JTF) commander in the state,  Lieutenant-Colonel Gabriel Olorunyomi, said the  bomb was planted at the front of the Lord’s Chosen Church also in Obehira area of Okene timed to explode at the end of the church service. No one was injured in that attack.

EXCLUSIVE: Usher's Stepson -- Family Can't Afford to Keep Him Alive Much Longer



Usher's ex-wife -- Tameka Raymond -- will be forced to take her 11-year-old son off life-support as early as next month, TMZ has learned, all because his insurance coverage is about to expire. Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Tameka has not lost hope that her son, Kyle Glover, can make a drastic recovery ... despite doctors declaring him brain dead last week following a jet ski accident. We're told she is telling friends ... she still believes in miracles.  According to our sources, Tameka can only keep Kyle on life-support as long as her insurance company agrees to pay ... otherwise she doesn't have the funds to cover the enormous hospital bills.  We're told the insurance company hasn't set a specific deadline, but they've made it clear ... they're only willing to shell out coverage for a couple months ... tops. Our sources say that Usher -- who helped raise Kyle for several years -- has been incredibly supportive in this difficult time... but has NOT offered to pay for any medical bills. We're told Tameka does not see him as a viable financial option. As TMZ first reported, Kyle was struck in the head by a jet ski while inner tubing on Lake Lanier -- doctors declared him brain dead days later.

Family Fears for Boston Pastor Abducted in Egypt

CAIRO – The family of a Pentecostal pastor abducted in Egypt on Saturday appealed to his captor to release the 61-year-old man, saying he is a diabetic and the family fears for his health.

The son of Rev. Michel Louis told The Associated Press that his father was on a church trip to retrace Jesus’ steps through the Holy Land with 23 other members of the clergy and worshipers when he was abducted. Along with him, a 39-year-old Boston woman in the group and a tour guide were kidnapped in broad daylight Friday.

Jirmy Abu-Masuh, an Egyptian Bedouin, told the AP he was armed when he stopped the bus on a road linking Cairo to Mount Sinai, ordered the three to get off and took them captive. He said they would be released only after police release his uncle from prison, and he vowed to take more hostages of different nationalities if his demands were not met.

Louis’ son, Rev. Jean Louis, said his father was making his annual mission trip to the Holy Land.

“He’s been doing it for the past four years now, and this just turned out to be a little different from any other year,” said the younger Louis, who works as a youth pastor at a church founded by his father. “He’s a diabetic, so we’d like the person that, or the people that have him in captivity, to know that. We’re just concerned for his health. But we know that the governments are working very hard negotiating.”

U.S. Embassy spokesman David Linfield said the embassy was looking into the kidnapping and working closely with Egyptian authorities who were doing everything to ensure their safe release.

The abduction took place along the road linking Cairo to the sixth-century St. Catherine’s Monastery, located at the foot of Mount Sinai where the Old Testament says Moses received the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments. The route is a frequent target by Bedouins who abduct tourists to pressure police to meet their demands, which is usually to release a detained relative they say has been unjustly arrested.

Friday’s abduction was the latest in a series of kidnappings in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula over the past year. Abducted tourists are rarely harmed and usually released within days.

Louis’ son said the family is concerned about all three captives and does not want to discuss communications with the U.S. government so as not to jeopardize the chances for their release.

“Any other family or anybody that has loved ones that are in a situation like that can feel … a bit uneasy,” Louis said outside the family home in Boston’s neighborhood of Mattapan. “In spirit, we are confident, we believe in God and we know that our God is active and is real and is gonna intervene on our behalf.”

The Louis family gathered at the elder pastor’s home Saturday to pray and comfort each other. The elder Louis is pastor of the Free Pentecostal Church of God

Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' At Comic-Con: 5 Things We Learned



SAN DIEGO — Quentin Tarantino and the cast of his upcoming "Southern" flick, "Django Unchained," took the stage in Hall H to assure San Diego Comic-Con that, yes, the "D" is silent. After rolling out the sizzle reel that played for industry insiders at Cannes, the panel took questions and talked all things "Django." Here's what we learned:
Tarantino's Western The writer-director has always been a fan of obscure references and borrowing from his favorite genres, but "Django Unchained" marks Tarantino's first official Western. Of course, it's not the kind of Western you're familiar with. Tarantino told the crowd in Hall H that the germ of the idea that became "Django Unchained" occurred to him 13 years ago, and began simply as the story of a slave who becomes a bounty hunter and kills white people. He said wanted to set his Western in a surreal world, and he chose the antebellum South because it was the most surreal and cruel period in American history.
Don Johnson Prefers "Big Daddy" The eight-minute sizzle reel featured the general public's first look at the Southern not-quite-a-gentleman played by Don Johnson. His appearance in the reel was short but satisfied us with enough Southern twang and a killer white suit. Johnson even corrected the moderator when he referred to the actor as "Don Johnson." He said he prefers "Big Daddy." Johnson's inspiration for the drawl? Foghorn Leghorn.
Jonah Hill's Role The actor was the final castmember added to an already star-studded ensemble, but reports announcing the casting didn't include a character description. Tarantino informed the audience that Hill will be playing a Regulator, a member of a proto-KKK that attempts to hunt down Django and Dr. King Schultz. The director said Hill's scene is one of the funniest he's ever written, up there with the color-naming sequence from "Reservoir Dogs."
The "Django" Connection Tarantino has famously connected the worlds of his movies through related characters and hidden references. When asked by a fan, the director said one character would be related to the interconnected world of Tarantino movies. He wouldn't reveal who, but he did suggest that Django and his wife, Broomhilda, are the ancestors of one bad mutha — John Shaft.
What's Next "Django Unchained" still has one more week of filming before Tarantino heads into post-production, so he's not too sure what will be next for him. He did say that "Kill Bill, Vol. 3" is still a possibility, but he wanted to wait 10 years after the original to consider it.
