The writer-actor-director-producer has cast the 19-year-old in his upcoming TBS sitcom For Better Or Worse, which is based off the premise of his 2007 film Why Did I Get Married? and its 2010 sequel.

Brown will play the daughter of one of the stylists at a salon in the show, which premieres this July. Though she has never professionally acted before, Bobbi Kristina fancied herself a singer like her mother, uploading a video of herself covering Adele’s “Someone Like You” in September 2011.

Tragedy As Tenant Stabs Landlord's Son To Death

WHEN Mukaila Ajadi was ejected from the house he was living in by his landlord's children, little did the landlord's family know that this directive did not go down well with their tenant, as a fight resulting from a reaction to the quit notice ended the dreams and aspirations of one of the lanlord's son, 42-year-old Musiliu Sogunro on February 8, 2012.
Ajadi, a 51-year-old father of three was reported to have packed into the house at Sanyo area of Ibadan, Oyo State in 2007. His landlord died in January 2011 and since then, he was alleged to have refused to pay his house rent, owing the landlord's family a year's rent. Not only this, another female tenant who was brought into the house by Ajadi was also owing some rent.
When all overtures to make the two tenants pay up the money failed, the landlord's children decided to give them quit notice but Ajadi was alleged to have refused to quit the one room he was living in with his wife and three children, saying that he would remain there until he would be able to secure another accommodation.

The female tenant however decided to comply with the landlord's children's directive and started packing her things in bits. At a point, she had moved all her belongings from the room she occupied, leaving behind her mattress. Miffed by the action of the woman who continued to lock the room she occupied, Sogunro, on sighting her in evening of thed fateful day, challenged her on this, demanding to know why she locked the room up, unknown to him that her mattress was still in the room.

Tempers flared between Sogunro the woman and in no time, they started exchanging hot words with each other. It was at that point that Ajadi, who was around at the time, interjected the quarrel. However, his contribution did not go down well with Sogunro and before anyone knew what was happening, a fight ensued between the duo. The outcome was that Sogunro slumped, covered with his own blood which was flowing from different stab wounds on his body.

According to information gathered by Sunday Tribune, Ajadi claimed that it was Sogunro who brought a bottle, broke it and injured him on the back of his hand with it. In annoyance, Ajadi claimed he wrested the broken bottle from Sogunro but did not know that he stabbed him until he saw his picture with the different points where he was stabbed on his body.

When Ajadi saw that his landlord's son had slumped, he went to Sanyo Police Station to report that he and someone fought and stabbed themselves. He was advised to go and treat himself. It was after he left that the deceased's wife came to report at the station that Ajadi had killed her husband. The woman was said to have informed the police that she received a call from an unknown person who told her to come and see her injured husband. On getting home, she was shocked when she met her husband on the ground, stone dead.

The police at Sanyo police station had reportedly traced Ajadi to the hospital where he went to treat himself and promptly arrested him. Sunday Tribune further gathered that his case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, for further investigations, after which he was charged to court. He is currently being remanded in Agodi prisons while his case has been adjourned.

Twin blasts rock Thai city

An injured fireman is helped from the scene of a car bomb blast in Yala,

(CNN) -- At least 10 people were killed and more than 100 wounded following a pair of explosions Saturday in the southern Thai city of Yala, Thai media reported.

The two blasts were the result of bombs stashed in stolen trucks, Police Lt. Gen. Paitoon Chuchaiya told CNN affiliate MCOT.

Video from the scene showed damage to buildings, cars and motorcycles on the street.

The blasts set fires to nearby vehicles, including a van, which itself exploded, leading to initial reports of a third bomb, Chuchaiya said.

Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said she has been informed of the Yala bombings and has instructed national police chief Gen. Prewpan Dhamapong to investigate the crime scene immediately, according to MCOT. Police investigators believe suspected insurgents are behind the attacks, MCOT said.

Last month, a series of bombs detonated in Bangkok. No one was killed in those blasts, and an Iranian suspect was arrested in connection with the incident.

Cruise ship stranded off Indonesia by engine fire

(CNN) -- Engineers are battling to restore power to a cruise ship carrying about 1,000 people after it was left adrift off Indonesia by an engine fire, cruise company Azamara Club Cruises said.

All of the nearly 600 passengers on board the Azamara Quest are safe but five crew members suffered smoke inhalation during the fire, the company said in an online statement.

One of the injured crew needs urgent medical care and will be taken to a hospital as soon as the ship reaches shore, it said.

The cruise liner is expected to head straight to Sandakan in Malaysia once propulsion is restored, the company said.

"The damage caused by the fire will require us to cancel the rest of Azamara Quest's voyage once the ship arrives in Sandakan," it said.

As of Saturday morning local time, the ship was located 200 miles off the port city of Balikpapan, on the Indonesian island of Borneo, in calm seas, the company said.

The fire broke out at about 8:20 p.m. local time in one of the ship's engine rooms, where it was contained and quickly extinguished, the company said.

Power was restored to one of the engines late Friday, allowing the ship to restart its air conditioning, running water, plumbing and refrigeration, Azamara Club Cruises said.

The fire broke out after the Azamara Quest had set sail from Manila, in the Philippines, Officer Francis Wong, chief of communications for the Philippines Navy, told CNN.

The ship's captain reported the fire to the Philippine naval authorities, who sent a Cessna aircraft and two patrol gun boats to the cruise ship in response, he said.

As of noon Friday Philippine time the fire was under control, he said.

Wong said he did not know where the ship was headed next.

"When we left the ship was safe and close to Palawan," he said, referring to an island province in the Philippines.

The Azamara Quest was on a 17-night sailing voyage that departed Hong Kong, China, on March 26, and was due to include port calls in the Philippines, Borneo and Indonesia before concluding in Singapore on April 12.

Azamara Club Cruises, which operates two cruise liners, is part of the giant Royal Caribbean Cruises group.

titanic-song-makes-kate-winslet-wanna-puke

Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” remains, to this day, one of the best-selling singles EVER. This tune was epic, groundbreaking, a total tearjerker. Sadly, the Titanicsong makes Kate Winslet wanna puke. No, really.

The Daily Mail quotes her telling MTV News, “I feel like throwing up when I hear it. No, I shouldn’t say that. No, actually, I do feel like throwing up…I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll.”

Before all the Titanic and Celine Dion fans go and get all offended, I’m sure Kate’s disgust with the song comes from having to listen to it probably a buhjillion times. Stars often get sick of their own films, songs that played during it, certain characters, etc. For example, Zac Efron once made some comment about how if he had to sing another High School Musical song, he was going to throw himself off a cliff or something.

Lol.

No worries, Kate. We still love you even though “My Heart Will Go On” makes you totes nauseous. xoxo
