| Husband of model Katie Cleary commits suicide after rumors she hooked up with DiCaprio Posted: 24 Jun 2014 12:37 PM PDT   Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Andrew Stern shot himself in the head Sunday while he was at a shooting range in the San Fernando Valley. The 40-year-old businessman was married to Katie ... who was also a contestant on "America's Next Top Model." Katie was photographed in Cannes last month with Leo and the two seemed tight. There are also photos of Katie in Cannes with "Entourage" star Adrian Grenier." TMZ reports. Continue...   We're told law enforcement interviewed various people after the suicide, including Katie, and they were told -- among other things -- he was suffering significant stress over marital problems. Our sources say Katie told law enforcement she and Andrew were in the process of getting divorced. A source close to Leo tells us Katie and the actor never hooked up and he left the club with his GF Toni Garrn. In addition to marital problems, law enforcement says Andrew had a history of depression and had financial issues. | ||

| Transsexual claims she had an affair with Hank Baskett while Kendra was 8 months pregnant Posted: 24 Jun 2014 12:49 PM PDT   From The National Enquirer The Enquirer has confirmed that that former Playboy starlet turned reality star Kendra Wilkinson's hubby Hank Baskett secretly hooked up with a transsexual while she was pregnant with their second daughter. The explosive claims come just weeks after Wilkinson gave birth to baby daughter Alijah, and following The Enquirer's exclusive that Baskett, 31, was seen leaving their marital home and checking into a hotel. According to an insider, Wilkinson, 29, was roughly eight months pregnant when Baskett's sordid affair unfolded! "Hank first met up with the woman around April 22 in Sherman Oaks, California," an insider reveals. "He called her twice before they met in person. He said he'd seen her YouTube videos online, and he couldn't believe that her photos were real." Baskett used a fake name when organizing the encounter, the source says, and claimed he had never been with a transsexual before when the couple finally met up at the woman's home. During their first romp, "They mutually masturbated her and he touched her breasts and penis," the source claims. "The entire encounter lasted probably about 15, 20 minutes." "Before leaving, he gave her almost $500 and told her he wanted to stay in touch," the source claims. And he stayed true to his word. According to the source, "They spoke a couple times after their first sexual encounter. Hank always called from different numbers, and at least once from a pay phone." "After the Casper Smart transsexual controversy, he started to get freaked out and paranoid she would say something, and called her six times in one day to plead with her not to spill," says the source. "He promised he would take care of her financially and even left her $2,000 in a coffee cup at her house. He promised her $5,000 to keep her mouth shut, and even threatened to kill himself if the story got out!" Now, the insider says, "Hank thinks Kendra knows and she wants to leave him!" Both Baskett and Wilkinson did not return multiple requests for comment. | ||

| Blogger Folarin Kolawole shares his romantic proposal story & pics Posted: 24 Jun 2014 05:36 AM PDT    How We Met We met in 2012. I had started working in Port-Harcourt then as a geoscientist and I was on the field most of the time; I was single and meeting new babes was a serious challenge for me. Chika, one of my close friends in Lagos, who wanted me to get serious started hooking me up with different ladies whom he thought matched some major specs I had given him earlier. Some of my cousins also tried hooking me up with their friends. I had one complaint or another about each of the ladies, but I made sure I kept a good relationship with all of them. At a point, I got tired of all the match-making thing and made up my mind not to entertain anymore hook-ups. On 24th March, 2012, Chika called me up again and told me about this cool girl he wanted me to meet. I told him I wasn't interested, but he managed to convince me to give it a shot. I finally agreed and he sent me the lady's phone number. I called her that night and I heard the calmest female voice I have ever heard in my life. I introduced myself and we talked a little. She was very polite, simple, funny and cool. Having previously dated different ladies, I had learnt not to get too excited with a good first impression. Ladies can be very deceptive when they're out to make a guy fall for them. So, I thought this one would likely just be like all the previous hook-ups, but I didn't mind having a little more fun before cutting off. Some days later, I called her again and we spoke for about thirty minutes. It was as if we had known each other for years. There was consistency in her tone of voice, oral mannerisms etc. I was specially skilled in making ladies tell me a lot about themselves before I tell them anything about myself, and unfortunately most of them fell for the bait. Some even seemed to prefer to talk about themselves and take over most of the conversation than to listen or learn anything about the new friend they are bringing into their lives. It was not the case with this new lady. She made me talk, asking me questions that made me give out some details about my personal life that I rarely tell strangers. She was quite interested in my personality and I couldn't hold back since she was quite open about her own personality. I started enjoying talking to her, so much that I looked forward to every evening when I would call her after work. We talked everyday- sometimes one hour, other times over an hour. I deliberately didn't ask if she had a blackberry phone, because I felt it would create over-familiarity too soon, which I wanted to avoid. I also didn't want to see her photos or whatever she looked like, too early so that it wouldn't affect my judgement. I also didn't ask her for her surname or tell her mine so that none of us would be tempted to go and do facebook forensics too early. However, after almost two weeks of continuous communication, we had gotten so close that we both knew we were becoming good friends. She suddenly asked if I had a BB and I couldn't deny. She got offended wondering why I preferred to waste money calling everyday and never even bothered to ask if she was on BB. I apologized and claimed that it skipped my mind. She added me to her BB contacts and we exchanged each other's photos. I was a little happy that she looked pretty and she also teased me that she was glad I did't look too bad. At that point, the blackberry connection further strengthened our friendship because we could then communicate at any time of the day. After about two months of continuous communication, both of us had become convinced that we really liked each other and would be very close friends for a very long time. So, we decided to meet face-to-face. I took three days off from work and went to Lagos to see her (16th-18th May, 2012). We met at Ocean View Restaurant in Victoria Island on the first day (16th May). I fell for her immediately she walked into the restaurant. She looked awesome, beautiful and charming. We ate and chatted like we did on phone and BBM. She was humble, intelligent in speech and decent in mannerism. I studied her through out the date. We met at different restaurants on subsequent days and I asked her out on the third date. I went back to port-Harcourt and we continued communicating on phone as usual. I returned to Lagos on my birthday, 25th June, 2012, took her out on a date and she agreed to go out with me. That was how it all started. The Proposal After two years of dating, I decided to pop the big question. So, I came up with a plan. Being a travel buff, I decided to adopt a natural theme, so picked a beach- Lekki Leisure Lake. I tagged the concept "message from the sea". It can be very difficult to plan a surprise proposal for an intelligent girl. I had to tell multiple lies to cover up my tracks all through the entire process of planning the proposal. There were different times she almost suspected that I was up to something, but I had to cover up with a story or another. Also, for a guy, the whole process of picking and buying a suitable engagement ring and planning the surprise can sometimes become extremely mentally taxing as it involves finding out the lady's actual ring size, preferred gold type (white or yellow), choosing a befitting stone setting, choosing a proposal concept, location, timing etc. - all coming with their combined financial implication. I got a bottle, poured in some snail shells and natural petals of different colours. I made a scroll containing two photos at the top (the picture we took on our first date and the one we took on the day we started going out) and a short proposal poem beneath them. I stopped the top of the bottle with an artificial rose and tied a red ribbon from the rose down to the scroll inside the bottle, such that if one pulls the rose, the scroll inside the bottle automatically comes up along with it. I also placed a red pull ribbon to the neck of the bottle. I went to Lekki leisure Lake on the previous day of the proposal to plan with one of their staff. I gave him the decorated bottle and we picked a nice spot on the beach together. I made sure we picked a spot in which the breaking waves of the ocean and its ebb will sweep through so as to give the buried bottle a 'natural' look after it is been placed, half-buried in the sand. I took his phone number and we agreed that once I give him a 'missed call' on the morning of the following day, he should go ahead and peg the bottle at the exact spot we picked on the beach. I had earlier notified my girlfriend that we were going to hangout with one of my friends and his girlfriend at the beach that morning. I told her we were going to ride jet skis and quad bikes. It rained heavily that morning. I was scared the whole plan was gonna get messed up, but went ahead with the plan. By the time we all arrived at the beach, the rains had stopped, but the skies were still set in deep blue tones. The air at the beach was chilly, the lake and ocean waters reflected the colours of the sky and the low grasses at the lake edge flaunted their verdant pigment. As we entered through the gate of the recreation center, I secretly gave 'accomplice' at the beach a call and quickly cut it while it rang. The four of us (my girlfriend, my friend, his girlfriend and I) walked to the lake side and I could see the guy at the far side of the beach walking towards the agreed point on the beach. After a few minutes, he rang my phone and cut the line. I figured he was set. The engagement ring I bought was sitting gracefully in its red velvet box in my pocket. I winked at my friend and he suggested that we all walk to the far side of the beach so take some nice photos. I agreed and the four of us began to stroll down, each couple holding hands. My friend had his camera with him, all set for shooting. The distance was a little long, but the amazing views of the ocean if offered made it worth the walk. As we approached the peg point, I looked back and winked at my friend. I quickly spotted the pegged bottle, close to the edge of the breaking ocean waters. I pointed at it and asked her to go take a look and pick it so we can see what was inside. She said "What? No way! You want me to turn to yam abii!", I bursted into laughter and pull her closer to the bottle. She was wondering what I was doing. I pulled the bottle from the wet sand and looked into her eyes, pulled the rose slowly from its mouth and smiled as I looked at her again. She stood there, shocked and trying to figure out what I was doing. I smiled again and told her the scroll was for her. It finally occurred to her what was going on. She covered her eyes with one palm and stretched the other palm at me and started saying, "Wait! Wait! Wait!". I became confused. A million thoughts ran through my head in the split of a second. "Is she giving me a NO or what?", I thought. I held the bottle for half a second, not knowing what to do. Then, I braced up, pulled the scroll out of the bottle and untied it. At this point, she had dropped her palm from her face and her eyes were red and wet with tears. I gave her the scroll to read and as she read it, I dropped to a knee, pulled out the ring box from my pocket and held it open at my eye level. She finished reading the poem, raise her head and couldn't lift her eyes off the ring I was holding up in the case. She fell in love with the ring. I began, "Thanks for coming on this journey with me all these years. I have decided to spend the rest of my life with you. Baby, please, will you marry me?" "Of course", she said, amidst a short burst of tears. "Of course what? Tell me yes or no", I said. She laughed and said "Yessss!". I smiled and mistakenly took her right palm. I guess I was carried away myself. She frowned and pull her right hand away from me and stretched her left palm to me. I laughed and apologized. Then, I slipped the ring into the appropriate finger. The raging waves of the ocean broke on the shores, sweeping over my knee and her feet as she lifted me from the sand and hugged me while she kept sobbing. That's the proposal...now see the photos below...                  | ||

| "I'm all woman with two boobs & no balls'- footballer Chichi Igbo says Posted: 24 Jun 2014 08:56 AM PDT    Chichi, who played for Nigeria during the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup is based in Denmark, playing professional football. See what she wrote and plenty more photos of her after the cut...   So a followers just asked if I'm on male hormones/testosterone plus I get negative comments about being on steroids all the time. So I'm Gonna address this. I'm not mad neither do I take it the wrong way cos I understand why it's unbelievable that a female can have it like that but here is the truth, if y'all really pay attention you would know what I do for a living. Playing soccer on a professional level is something taken seriously, which means the rules that applies for the highest sports out there on doping applies for us too which means we are dope tested as players by local federations and FIFA. I know I own nobody no explanation but it's always good to feed people's curiosity so they can move on and that's what I'm doing. I barely use them so called supplements cos I only wanna give credit to hard work, dedication, persistence and my genes. I have my career to thank cos it'd be impossible for some to believe I'm natural but I'm a living proof that muscles can be gained naturally if you work for it. I'm a woman with two boobs and no balls in between my legs, I'm just created special and that's why I refuse to fit in or live by societies standards. I'm a mystery to some but that's ok, the world would be boring if we all looked alike, so accept and respect each other's differences cos that's thee only way we can live in peace and harmony. Embrace your differences, you are not a mistake but specially made so please DO NOT allow people bully you into felling that you are not good enough or worthy. They DONT have to like, understand or accept you, you are You are awesome just the way you are, so long you embrace and accept you for you. I wouldn't put myself out there if I could cos I majority of the time think people get at me for all the Wrongs reasons, I'd rather get complimented on my personality than my outer look, no offense but that's just me, so I put myself out there so I could encourage and motivate others, I may not answer all the questions thrown at me but I try to respond when I can. I hope I cleared this up. It's ok to be a female and fit, that don't make you less beautiful. Stay strong and healthy 💪💯😁 
                  "Allow me to school you, i do it better than your girlfriend so pls don't get it twisted, what I wear don't define me" Chified wrote under this photo. See her as a footballer below...    | ||

| "I don't sell sex toys' - actress Bisi Ibidapo-Obe insists Posted: 24 Jun 2014 03:00 AM PDT  "Please don't call it a sex toy business at all. I don't really do sex toy stuff. (you don't? You could have fooled me). We sell men and women underwear, body cream, sprays, perfume and even things for babies. People who say I sell sex toys are mistaken. It's not a new thing that some people don't want another person's progress for reason best known to them. What they are interested in is destructive criticisms. Yes, I sell vibrators, but that's not what I concentrate on. That's just an integral part of my business. The problem we have in this country is that of poor mentality. Those who use vibrators are not prostitutes as against the public impression about them."You open a store and the only thing you pose with is a vibrator...what do you expect people to think? | ||

| Entertainment Industry unite for Kefee; form committee for her burial Posted: 24 Jun 2014 12:55 AM PDT   Some of the notable faces at the meeting were, Nikki Laoye, Tosin Martins, Emem Ema, Tee-Y Mix, DJ Gosporella, Wamilele, Princess, , Perry Martins, Praise Machine, Mudi, Righteousman, Nene Soul Diva, Victor Gospogroove, Gordons and representatives from Kefee's family. Continue... Sammie noted that the death of Kefee has affected the Nigerian entertainment industry and the world over and not just the Gospel music community in Nigeria.
Also speaking, Tosin Martins, suggested that activities in honour of Kefee should extend beyond the immediate burial plans to include a more robust an annual memorial symposium and other events which promote the interests and passion of Kefee for posterity's sake. A committee called the 'Kefee Memorial Committee' (KMC) was thus constituted to plan the various events which would hold in Lagos and Sapele, the hometown of the late singer. The members of the committee are: Sammie Okposo, Nikki Laoye, Commorade Rex Anighoro, Momodu Inu Noah, Tosin Martins, Anny Ibrahim, Joan Paul, Aity Dennis-Inyang, Emem Ema, Gbenga Akintokun, Tee-Y Mix, Tim Tehilla, DJ Gosporella, Praise Machine, Victor Gospogroove, Princess, Perry Martins, DJ Direal and journalist, Chilee Agunanna, who was Kefee's publicist The committee would plan towards befitting burial events in Lagos and Sapele and some of the proposed activities were a symposium and Service of Songs tagged 'An Evening With Kefee' in Lagos. There would also be a documentary of the singer's life and times; performances of her songs by other artists; Kefee memorial merchandise and a tribute concert in Sapele. Kefee's husband, Teddy Don-Momoh, monitored the proceedings of the meeting from the U.S. where he is preparing to fly home the body of his wife. He once again pleaded for the privacy of the family to be respected in these trying times. He observed that some of the stories written about Kefee since her death were mostly untrue and cited the reports of a pregnancy which didn't exist and the story that her body had been flown home as very insensitive and mischievous. He also stressed that some reports that claimed that he was stranded in the U.S. and soliciting for financial help through a bank account were lies. Teddy said that, customarily, he would have to return home to Nigeria first, to be on ground to receive the body of his wife which would then follow afterwards. He said he was finalising the required paperwork before Kefee's body could be flown from the U.S. to Nigeria and once those were done, more details of the burial plans would be released. Teddy said that Kefee's family had requested that she be buried in their hometown, Okpara-Inland, Ethiope East local government, with a celebratory service in Sapele afterwards and that he was comfortable with that. Those, according to him, were the only definite arrangements for his wife's burial so far. Kefee whose real name was Irikefe Don-Momoh (nee Obareki) was a well-liked Pop-Gospel artist who had been active in the entertainment industry for the past ten years.

| Photos: Man arrested for burying mother, daughter alive in Ogun state Posted: 24 Jun 2014 05:46 AM PDT   Alhaji Azeez, an indigine of Oyo state with three wives and five children, had served as a trado-medical doctor to late Mrs Kerry who was looking for a child as the young girl killed with her was an adopted child. Continue...  Alhaji Azeez (pictured above) claimed he initially told the late Mrs Kerry that he would not be able to help her in having a child because of her age but she remained adamant that he must help her as other prophets had told her she would be able to have a child of her own. Trouble started between them after he collected the sum of N9million from her for concoctions for pregnancy which failed. She asked for a refund and in the process threatened to kill him. He said he had to kill her so she does end up killing him "I have been a trado-medical doctor for about 30 years, but I knew Angela over five years ago. She initially came to me for protection from family attacks. One of her friends called Lizzy introduced her to me. The relationship began to grow, and she kept patronizing me for one thing or the other. Then, about three years ago, she mentioned her barrenness problem, adding that the daughter that was with her was adopted. I was shocked. But when she told me her age, I told her it was impossible to make her pregnant. But she insisted that prophets in the churches she went had assured her she would get pregnant".Due to much pressure from her, Alhaji Azeez then pretended he could help her with a child and demanded N9million from her  "I did the normal concoction for her, but it didn't work because of her age. But I collected the money because I knew if I did not, she would go to where they would collect it. After some months without result, she came to my place to complain. She then demanded a refund, but I told her that I could not repay it. She then began to threaten me. Within a month, I tried to repay N2.5m. On that fateful week, she came back for the remaining N6.5m. It was Saturday, May 17. She came with her daughter and insisted that she wanted her balance. She said as a retired customs officer, she could kill me if I didn't pay back the money. Then I thought, I must kill this woman before she killed me. The hole at the back of my house was not built for killing. It was dug for drainage during rainfall. After we talked, we moved with her daughter to the place. I said she should kneel down on the mat with her daughter( he already covered the hole with a mat and white cloth to look like a shrine). She did so and fell into the pit with her daughter. The operation was successful because no member of my family was around in the house. I then began to cover the pit up with sand. I poured in roughly 50 buckets of sand. The following day, I got two bricklayers to cement the portion. But I had first taken out the belongings she brought".The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Umar Manko, while parading him said late Mrs Kerry was declared missing on May 10th at the Oko Oba Police station in Lagos and with the help of the tracking device on her car, the Police was able to trace her car to a dealer who confessed the vehicle was brought to him for sale by Alhaji Olatunji Azeez  "Azeez was eventually arrested through a tracking device installed on the victim's Toyota Camry. Azeez, an herbalist, had hypnotized the woman for a long time. He had taken over N200m from her both in cash and property. We discovered he cleverly constructed a well in his house, lured the woman with her daughter into the room, and buried them alive. We were able to recover the decomposed bodies of the victims from the well. We also picked their property which was buried along with them. We have finished our investigations, and he will be charged to court for murder. We will leave the rest to be decided by the court." Police Commissioner Manko said | ||
