'Dancers & singers are better in bed than actors' Jennifer Lopez says

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 01:43 PM PDT

Jennifer Lopez has dated a few men in the entertainment industry, including dancers, a music exec, singers and actors. And of all the men she's been with, she says dancers are better lovers than actors.

During an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live yesterday while promoting her new album A.K.A, Jennifer was amazingly truthful when the host asked her who were better in bed, dancers, singers or actors.
'Can I leave? Am I trapped in here? I'm gonna start having anxiety.' Jennifer joked. Then she opened up "I have to say that in my limited experience, I would have to say anybody involved in music. So I would say singers and dancers. I forgot my card. D***t. I could've pleaded the fifth.'
"I've dated two dancers. One, I had a brief marriage with, Cris Judd, who is an amazing person and whom I love, and then Beau (Casper Smart), we just broke up, who I love as well. He's a good friend.
Jennifer Lopez dated Ben Affleck for almost two years... from 2002 till January 2004.

Italy to repatriate 700 Nigerian prisoners

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 12:19 PM PDT

The Italian Ambassador to Nigeria, Fulvius Rusticu, yesterday June 19th revealed plans by the Italian Government to repatriate 700 Nigerian prisoners currently serving jail time in Italian prisons. While  speaking with pressmen in Abuja, Fulvius said Italian and Nigerian Govt officials were in talks for a Transfer Agreement (PTA) and would meet first week in July in Rome to conclude negotiations. He said bringing the prisoner closer home is in the interest of the prisoners 
"Each country is responsible for its prisons; the logic in signing a PTA is that we think that it is better for Nigerians and even Italians to serve their terms at home. Already to be in prisons is not a nice experience, being abroad is even worse, so given the prisoner the chance to return home is in their own interest. It is very rare for a prisoner to want to stay in a foreign country, we have cases of Italians serving in prisons abroad and they look forward, and are happy to return home," he said
No fewer than 15,316 Nigerians are in various prisons abroad with the largest No. of 752 in the UK.

Jay Z and Beyonce's tour not struggling, over $86m in tickets sold

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 08:25 AM PDT

There were reports last week that the ticket sales for Beyonce and Jay Z's 'On The Run' tour set to begin in Miami on June 25 and wrap in San Francisco Aug. 5 were much lower than expected as people were no longer interested in watching the power couple in concert after the elevator fight...but it seems that report isn't true...

From Billboard
Sources close to the Live Nation-produced tour tell Billboard that, as of June 17, the tour has racked up about $86 million in ticket sales and is on a pace to gross close to $100 million from just 19 shows. The source says attendance is on a pace to top 850,000 tickets sold, and a Live Nation rep confirmed to Billboard last night that the tour is indeed nearing that threshold. That's a whopping nightly take of $5.2 million, and an average attendance of nearly 45,000 per show -- well more than two sold-out arena shows would generate in any given market. Numerous shows are sold out, and Live Nation cites "unprecedented" VIP and platinum ticket sales.

Dear LIB women: what are the top 5 reasons why women cheat?

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 08:30 AM PDT

More and more women are cheating on their partners these days...way more now than it used to be. In fact some men think women now cheat more than they do (I don't think so tho :-))

Anyway, why do you think women cheat? What are the top 5 reasons? See some options below...
1. As payback to their men for cheating on them?
2. Lack of good sex from their men?
3. Because they feel emotionally neglected by their men?
4. To feel wanted, desired and appreciated?
5. Because they can?

What is it?

Four young men from Ohaozara and Onicha LGAs in Ebonyi state were yesterday June 19th paraded by men of the Ebonyi state Police command for assault, attempted rape, robbery, malicious damage and other related offences.

A struggle ensued between the duo with the suspect gaining upper hand as he hit the victim on her neck, breast and wrist with bricks in an attempt to strangle her.

30 year old Stockton California native Jeremy Meeks (pictured above) was arrested on June 18th for the illegal possession of firearms, carrying a loaded firearm in public & criminal street gang activity. Immediately his mugshot was posted on the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page, people blew up the page, not because they were interested in his crime, but because of his looks, with many calling him the hottest criminal since Robin hood. He was arrested alongside four others but nobody cares about the others, just him. Women are going nuts on Facebook and twitter over his photo.

Jeremy's pic got over 45, 000 likes and almost 14,000 comments...with one person writing "Dear Jeremy, you can rob my house anytime you want. Just make sure you come alone ;)". Another one wrote "He can add another teardrop to his face after he murders this ***sy". Lol

Those eyes though. Many agree he's too fine to be a criminal, he should be a model or an actor.
