The 57 year old Basic Instinct star looked incredibly good, as she went nude in a series of tasteful black & white photos for the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. In an interview with the magazine, the actress talked about why she prefers fillers over plastic surgery to keep herself looking youthful.
"It's so common now for people to use fillers, it's almost like a beauty treatment. It's like you have mascara and a filler. And it's a far better alternative than having your face cut apart and ending up looking like you got sucked into a wind tunnel.' she said. See the photos after the cut

PDP leaders dismiss purported sack of Chief Olisa Metuh

Posted: 14 Aug 2015 10:13 AM PDT

The attention of Peoples Democratic Party from the one hundred and eighteen (118) electoral Wards, and the seven (7) Local Government Areas that made up Anambra South Senatorial District of Anambra State has been drawn to reports in some media titled, "Anambra PDP sacks Metuh" and wish to state as follows;


1. That the said media reports about the purported suspension of Chief Olisa Metuh did not emanate from either Otolo Ward 1, or any of the Wards and LGA in Anambra South Senatorial District and not from PDP Anambra State, rather it was the handiwork of agents of All Progressive Congress (APC) in their desperate attempts to bring down at all cost the Leader of PDP in Anambra State, Chief Olisa Metuh.
2.  That we challenge the authors of the fabricated stories about the purported suspension/sack of our Leader Chief Olisa Metuh from PDP, to publish the names and signatures of the elected PDP Ward, LGA and State officers that signed the false and malicious resolution.
3.  That the position already taken by the Anambra State PDP captured in the resolution signed by all the PDP current and serving members of the National Assembly from Anambra State, the State Caucus and the State Executive Committee, as published on page 42 of Saturday SUN newspaper of August 8, 2015, and page 103 of Sunday THISDAY newspaper of August 9, 2015, respectively, whereby we the PDP Anambra State unanimously passed vote of implicit confidence on Chief Olisa Metuh, is irrevocable. 
4.    That we are not in any way surprised that the makers of the false and malicious media propaganda against our Leader Chief Olisa Metuh, the All Progressives Congress (APC) being a political party owned by one man and his agents, and not been a disciplined association grounded in constitutional issues and norms, are pitiably ignorant about the constitutional procedure for disciplinary action (if any) against the National Officer of PDP.
5. That no amount of blackmail, harassment and intimidation from the APC and their agents can deter and distract our Leader Chief Olisa Metuh, from the ongoing task of rebuilding, remobilization and repositioning of PDP to reclaim Anambra State in the forthcoming elections.
6.    That we pledge our unreserved loyalty and support to the Chairman of PDP in Anambra State, Crown Prince Ken Emeakayi, the Leader of PDP in Anambra State, Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP National Vice Chairman (South East) Chief Austin Akobundu, the Acting National Chairman Prince Uche Secondus, and members of the National Working Committee of our great Party, the PDP.
PDP – POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
Signed;
1. Chief Jude Osude – Chairman PDP Anambra South Zone
2.   Barr Osita Igbokwe – Chairman PDP Aguata Local Government
3.    Engr. Gozie Igwe – Chairman PDP Ekwusigo Local Government
4. Chief Emma Obilakaba – Chairman PDP Ihiala Local Government 
5. Engr. Maduka Okoye – Chairman PDP Nnewi North LGA
6.  Chief Albert Okparaugo – Chairman PDP Nnewi South LGA
7.   Hon Ephraim Nwankwo – Chairman PDP Orumba North LGA
8.    Hon Charles Orji – Chairman PDP Orumba South LGA
9.    Hon O.C. Samuel – Secretary PDP Anambra South Zone

Prince William & Kate Middleton mad at paparazzi stalking their son

Posted: 14 Aug 2015 06:57 AM PDT

Prince William and Kate Middleton have issued a stern warning to paparazzi stalking their 2 year old son, Prince George after a photographer was found hiding in a car near a children's play area. 

In a letter released by Kensington Palace today,  the couple said a 'line had been crossed' by photographers going to 'disturbing' lengths to take photographs of their young children. 
They are more mad at international media, because British media mostly publish official photographs released by the royal family. Nothing concern us there but if you care to read the letter they issued today about the unauthorized use of their children's pics, then read here

Five Star Music act Skiibii is not dead after all (please read)

Posted: 14 Aug 2015 06:14 AM PDT

So this morning, I received a mail and a text message that Five Star Music artist Skiibii collapsed in his sitting room and died. And they sent me the photo above. The source said he'd dressed up and was going for his media rounds today when he suddenly fell and was unable to be revived. Because I know the guys at Five Star Music, I contacted them for confirmation. I actually called the music label's artist manager, Soso Soberekon, to confirm the news. Soso, who had already posted a candlelight image on his instagram page said he would call me back with confirmation, that they were just hearing about the incident, that he and Kcee were in Europe. He called me back at exactly 10.02am to confirm that Skiibii had passed on. So I carried the news.

 
But a few minutes ago (hours after I carried the news), Kcee called me to say Skiibii hadn't died. He said he received the news of his collapse this morning but said he wasn't sure what was going on because he was not in Nigeria. He said his brother told him Skiibii had been found with no pulse and wasn't breathing. They rushed him to the hospital and after hours there, he has been revived. Kcee told me he wanted me to be the first to announce he's back to life because I broke the news of his alleged death.

To be honest, I find this all very strange. Skiibii just released music and has been on the road for a week now promoting it. Someone said to me that all this could be a stunt...for him to trend (which he is - he's the number trending topic in Nigeria) and all media houses in Nigeria have carried his supposed demise.

If this is a stunt (Skiibii dropped a video just yesterday), then it's quite sad that they would go to this extent to make him known to Nigerians. I know a lot of Nigerian artists put up stunts, but to play with your life is sick! Extremely sick to fake your own death for fame and attention! But if it's not a stunt and he indeed woke from the dead, then I'm very happy for him.


Just for the record, Soso Soberekon confirmed Skiibii's death to LIB. He posted this this morning. (which he has since deleted)
