JAY-Z TO HOST BARACK OBAMA FUNDRAISER AT 40/40 TONIGHT

It turns out the Jay-Z may actually have "Obama on the text," as previously proclaimed on Blueprint 3′s "On to the Next One." The Jigga Man and his wife Beyonce are set to host a fundraiser for President Barack Obama at Hov's Flatiron sports bar 40/40 tonight (September 18).
On his official Twitter page (@S_C_), Jay-Z--who hardly ever uses the social networking site-- tweeted, "Guest list. Obama plus 40," affirming that the President of the United States will be present at 40/40 this evening.
Obama, who's in New York City for his national fundraiser tour, is expected to greet 100 supporters who'll each pay $40,000 to attend the ceremony. This will add up to a sum of $4 million for the president's campaign. The fundraiser comes on the heels of a tight press junket that includes a visit to David Letterman's Late Show. Obama is expected to hold court at 40/40 at approximately 9:45 p.m

Woman Gives Birth To Baby Boy With Two Heads In India

From time to time, cases like the one you’re about to read are reported, and the birth of Siamese twins is no longer news. This differs slightly however, as the baby boy in this case was born with two heads, and two necks on a single body.
The child was born to a woman in India who gave birth to him in a private hospital in Muktsar, Punjab, after a major operation last week Tuesday.

The new-born male baby is said to be under observation in the intensive care unit of the hospital where the condition of the child is stated to be critical. Doctors said that if the baby survives for 24 hours, then he can be referred to a bigger institution for further treatment.
Payal Rani, wife of Subhash and resident of Goniana road in Muktsar, India was admitted in Guru Nanak Ayurvedic College and Hospital for delivery. The blood pressure of the woman was very high and doctors decided to operate her.
A panel of three doctors – Dr Sukhvinder Singh, Dr Mukesh Bansaland Dr M L Ashwani – operated the woman, but were shocked to see the child. The child was born with two heads and two necks separately, with a single body.
According to the doctors, “The baby born with two heads and necks is a full term male baby. He is active and healthy now. The weight of baby at the time of birth is 3.1 kg. At the time of birth, the baby was not crying which is mandatory. But after treatment, he cried. The baby was shifted to the nursery in my hospital where he is being kept on oxygen and fluid. He is surviving well”, said Dr Rajendra Bansal, a child specialist.
The Indian Medical Association has now taken up the treatment of the baby.
“The IMA has decided that if the baby survives, then the cost of treatment of the baby will be borne by them. This is the first time when such type of a baby is born in Muktsar and he is alive. About ten years back, a baby was born with two heads and necks, but he was born dead”, Dr Mukesh said.
I really dont know what to say about this o, but a baby with two heads and neck born , and alive???God is truly GREAT

Female banker sends robbers after customers.

Any time you are withdrawing large cash sums, be careful, your banker might be sending armed robbers to retrieve the money back. A female cashier working in a new generation bank along New Market Road, Onitsha, Anambra State has landed in trouble for sending robbers after a customer just after he withdrew N5 million from the bank.It was gathered that the customer was attacked by the armed bandits who operated on two motorcycles while waiting to board a vehicle to his destination.
According to Daily Sun fter being dispossessed of the money,the victim became suspicious of the role played by the female cashier as no other person knew about the withdrawal and he hurried back to the bank in anger and threatened to expose the cashier if the stolen money was not returned immediately to him.The bank manager, whose office was situated close to the banking hall, overheard their argument and invited them into his office. While interviewing both parties, the female cashier consistently denied involvement in the crime and vowed to deal with the victim if his allegation was eventually proved to be false. However, the cat was let out of the bag during hot exchange of words when the mobile phone of the cashier rang persistently and she refused to answer the call.


While she was fidgeting, the bank manager suspected foul play and ordered the cashier to answer her call, using the amplified speaker. When she finally picked the call after much reluctance, it was the voice of the excited robber from the other end telling the cashier that the operation was successful. He told the cashier to meet him at the designated location to collect her share after the close of work. The cashier became speechless after the call as tears of shame and guilt streamed down her face.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the state, Mr. Ralph Uzoigwe, said he had not received any complaint from the bank and promised to reach the reporter as soon as information got to him. It was learnt that the bank was handling the incident internally to avoid a dent to its image.

Nigerians die in chinese company pool

Someone sent a mail to Blogger, Ladun Liadi telling her about how some Nigerians were killed and drowned in the pool in a Chinese factory in Ikeja Lagos. The family are suspecting a foul player. Read the senders mail below.
''This is to notify you on this story that just got to me from a friend, whose brother is one of the dead boys. According to him, his brother worked with a Chinese company in Ikeja (, and he worked at the factory sometime last week, and slept over. His where about could not be determined till the following evening, where his body and that of his friend were found inside the company's swimming pool with blood coming out of their ears, nostrils, and mouth.
To my best of knowledge (i lost a brother to the pool, i.e got drowned). When a human drowns blood does not come out from those places, what we suspect is foul play, perhaps they must have seen or heard something they were not supposed to see or hear, or perhaps the company is into shady deals.
Please I would like to let the country know about the ills of most of these companies, we know they have strong backups, more so this is just one case we know, the next may be someone close to you

I did not stab DJ Kevin - Skailey denies

From Skailey: Our attention has been drawn to reports claiming our client Adeyemi Lawal Quadri popularly known as Skaliey Mental allegedly stabbed one DJ Kelvin also known as Kelvin. We hereby wish to debunk such reports about our client. There was no time Skaliey did such act as reported. He is a law abiding citizen of the country and also a very jovial person to be with. However, there is no doubt about Skaliey being aware of the incident, but he was not the one that stabbed Kelvin as it is being reported. A mutual friend of both Skaliey and Kelvin known as Walex was the
culprit of the act.
This was also confirmed by statements taken by police from Kelvin, Skaliey and T Blaze, whose studio the ugly incident happened that day at Agbado area of Lagos.
On the report that Skaliey and his manager were contacted by the writer of the story, we wish to say that there was no time they were contacted to get their own sides of the story.
Those who ever put calls through to Skaliey know that whenever his number is not reachable or at network range, his (Skaliey) phone calls are always diverted to his manager's (Tayo) phone number.  While we appreciate the enormous work of the media, we would appreciate if the truth is always reported about our stars so as to keep the noble pen profession in high respect.

Nigerian Actor Sentenced To 3 Months In Jail For Gay Sex

A 28-year old actor, Bestwood Chukwuemeka was on Monday sentenced to three-month imprisonment by a Karu Senior Magistrates’ Court, Abuja, for having sexual intercourse with another man through the anus.
The convict, who resides at Gidan Mangoro, had pleaded guilty to having engaged in homosexual acts.
“I am guilty of the charge against me. I  was under the influence of alcohol and I want the court to temper justice with mercy’’, he said. The police prosecutor, Mohammed Umar, had told the court that the convict committed the offence in August when the complainant was sleeping in his bed.
Homosexual acts, the prosecutor said, was contrary to Section 284 of the Penal Code. The prosecutor said since Mr. Chukwuemeka had pleaded guilty to the crime he initially denied, the court should try him summarily. The Senior Magistrate, Nafisatu Buba, sentenced him to three-month imprisonment without an option of fine.
“This would serve as warning to other youths who hide under the influence of alcohol to commit crimes,’’ she said.
When he was first arraigned in early September, Mr. Chukwuemeka pleaded not guilty, saying, “I came back drunk from the night club and thought I was sleeping on the same bed with my girl-friend and I started romancing her.”
At that hearing, Mrs Buba, had ruled that alcohol should not be seen as an excuse for committing the offence, but then granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum, with one of the sureties being a civil servant on Grade Level 09. However, when the case was heard Monday, the actor suddenly pleaded guilty, and Mrs Buba summarily tried him, sentencing him to three-month imprisonment. Homosexuality and lesbianism are seriously frowned at in Nigeria.
In November, the Nigerian Senate passed a strict law banning same-sex marriage and public display of affection by gays in Nigeria. The bill – Same Sex Marriage (prohibition) bill 2011 – prescribes 14-year jail terms for convicted gays in Nigeria.
“Persons who entered into a same sex marriage contract or civil union commits an offence and are each liable on conviction to a term of 14 years imprisonment,” the new law said.
It added, “Any person, who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organization, or directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationships in Nigeria commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a term of 10-year imprisonment.”

Melissa Gorga's Alleged Stripper Past Resurfaces - Thanks to Teresa Giudice! - on RHONJ

Strippergate continues!
Real Housewives of New Jersey fans were shocked last fall when reports surfaced that mom of three Melissa Gorga was previously employed as a stripper -- a claim she and her former boss vehemently denied. On Sunday's episode -- centered around the annual Posche fashion show -- viewers learned just how those rumors began.
"We're going to a fashion show, which historically doesn't end well, but we're going into it on the heels of a huge blowout. The recipe is not a good one," Caroline Manzo predicted early on during Sunday's show. The Posche 2010 runway show, which concluded with a fiery spat between Giudice and her cousin, Kathy Wakile, who challenged the way Giudice parented her daughters.
Reuniting with Posche's owner, notorious pot-stirrer Kim D., while getting her makeup and hair done pre-show, Giudice, 40, was introduced to Angelo Vorhees, a man who said he once managed Gorga, 33, at Lookers Gentleman's Club in Elizabeth, N.J.
As Kim D. prodded Vorhees for details about Gorga's alleged past as a stripper, Giudice was horrified, but admitted that he confirmed her suspicions about Gorga's one-time career. "I don't f--king want to hear it," Giudice sniped to Kim D. "[Me and Melissa] are in a good place."
Later, during the runway show, Vorhees appeared again, this time confronting his former "employee" Gorga. "I don't know where I know him from but I know his face," Gorga said just before the episode's end credits rolled.
AUDIO: Hear Melissa's new single "I Just Wanna"
Larry Guarino, the man who actually did hire Gorga at Lookers -- as a bartender! -- confirmed to Us Weekly after the fashion show that Vorhees had little to no contact with Gorga to begin with. And while Giudice may have attempted to comfort her sister-in-law during the fashion show, a source tells Us Weekly she was in on the set-up. "[Teresa] was trying to embarrass Melissa and imply she used to be a stripper. All the other [cast members] thought it was wrong of Teresa," argues the insider, adding that Gorga confronted her sister-in-law about a set-up and asked why she didn't warn Gorga of Vorhees' presence.
Confirms the source: "The girls were like, 'If Teresa's all about family… stop stirring the pot!"
Part two of the Real Housewives of New Jersey finale airs Sunday at 10 p.m. (EST) on Bravo.

Man Sets Live-in Lover Ablaze in Ikotun *Viewer Discretion Advised*

A 35-year-old lady yesterday told how her live-in lover poured fuel on her and set her ablaze in Ikotun area of Lagos State.

The lady, Janet Udegba said her lover, Mr. Kehinde Adesamuye, 39, set her on fire because he was angry and jealous over her relationship with other men. She said she was at the Junction where she does her business of selling cooked Indomie before kehinde came that night, poured petrol on her and lit it with fire.
Janet however says Nigerians should not let kehinde go scot free with what he has done to her. Janet narrates how it all started…


‘’My husband has always been jealous. He used to beat me every time, under any guise and excuse.

I’ve tried several times to leave him, but he always threatens to harm me. I stayed with him because I was afraid of him and my life. He always told me that I could never escape from him, except I leave Lagos State. Anytime I said I was leaving him, he would say, no problem, but that he would do something to me which I would not forget. Now, see what he had done to me. He wanted to kill me.

“I used to sell indomie at Ikotun round about. There are other men and women selling there too. We’re all friends. Last two weeks Friday, one of the traders had a baby. We went for the naming ceremony. Kehinde was there with me. One of the traders gave me a drink; I just took a sip because I was in my flow.

“That was how it all started. He said I was kissing another man in his presence. He said that I sipped from the bottle that the man drank from. Right there, he started threatening that he was going to deal with me when we get home.

To be on the safe side, I called my younger sister, telling her that I might come over to spend the night at her place. I didn’t want him to beat me. When we got home, he cursed, abused and said all sort of things, but I didn’t respond or reply because I didn’t want him to pounce on me. This behaviour continued till Saturday. He even kicked off the bed, but I didn’t mind. I slept on the floor.

When I woke up on Sunday, he had gone out. I rushed to take my bath because I wanted to leave the house before he came back. But he suddenly came back, and started beating me for no reason. He beat so much that I thought he was going to kill me. It was due to the intervention of our landlord that he left me. After that beating, I moved in with my younger sister.”

Government should make sure Kehinde pays for what he did to me. I am an orphan. I have no father or mother. I sell Indomie to live. Now, I’ve spent all my money. In fact, I need help she said.

For reasons best known to Kehinde, he started sending friends to Janet’s shop, to beg on his behalf. He wanted her to forgive him and come back. But she refused. Last week Tuesday, Kehinde came to the shop with another friend to beg once more, but Janet told him that she was through with the relationship. Fuming, Kehinde jumped up from his seat, told her that he had nothing against her leaving, but that he was going to deal with her. He made good the threat by dousing her.

The following day, Kehinde was arrested by policemen as he was strolling along the streets of Ikotun.

JAY-Z DIDN'T LIKE ALICIA KEYS' ORIGINAL VOCALS ON "EMPIRE STATE OF MIND"

Jay-Z's a perfectionist. Just ask Alicia Keys. As part of an episode of VH1 Storytellers, the New York-bred songbird recently shared details on her recording session for Hov's "Empire State of Mind."
The God MC asked Alicia to guest on the song, but apparently wasn't satisfied with the first version she submitted. To let Alicia tell it, she was congested during the first recording and Hov reached out and asked her to re-cut her vocals. Keys jokingly told the audience attending the taping at NYC's Metropolis Studios last night (September 13) that she was bothered by Jigga Man's request.
In the end, a classic was born. "Empire State of Mind" earned Jay his first No. 1 single as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It looks like Jay was onto something

Celebrities Behaving Badly: (Graphic Photos) Rapper Wale Caught Behaving VERY Badly in an ATL Club

Nigerian-American Rapper, Wale, just embarrassed himself, DC, Nigeria and all the many groups he claims to rep for. The foolishness is off the hook. Rapper Wale was just recently at a club in Atlanta and his actions are so embarrassing I bet when he comes out of that stoned stupor he will slap himself hard. So much for all that “I respect ma black sistas” talk he is always going on about. Wale even performed at a women’s empowerment conference back in March of this year. Just leave it alone with all that talk Wale. It’s a bit much and you ain’t even able to stick with it. *Sigh*

Mediatakeout.com caught Wale sucking on the nipple of some groupie in an Atlanta club and he let some of his boys have some too. The foolishness is off the hook.
