Khloe Kardashian steps out with her ex, French Montana after 'giving' up on Lamar


Khloe K was spotted with her on/off boyfriend, rapper French Montana on Sunday night hours after posting a sad note about her ex-husband Lamar Odom, who has reportedly fallen back to drinking.

Taking to Twitter, an angry Khloe wrote "It doesn't matter how loyal you are to someone. You can't change someone's heart and bad habits unless they want to themselves. We have to learn to stop taking on peoples problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back. You forcing your beliefs and dreams down ones throat is only going to cause resentment and possibly manifest deeper issues. Possibly to the point of no return.'

Snoop Dogg blasts Arnold Schwarzenegger

                    

Rapper Snoop Dogg took to his IG page to blast former California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, after the son of a California state Assembly speaker was released from prison after serving just six years of a 16-year prison sentence for manslaughter. His sentence was drastically reduced by Arnold on his last day in office as governor of California back in 2011.


Snoop Dogg lashed out at Schwarzenegger for showing favoritism to his political friends while ignoring notorious reformed gang banger Stanley 'Tookie' Williams...



His bio on wikipedia
Stanley Tookie Williams III (December 29, 1953 – December 13, 2005) was one of the early leaders in the West Side Crips, an American street gang which has its roots in South Central Los Angeles in 1969.[1] Once incarcerated, he authored several books, including anti-gang and anti-violence literature and children's books. On December 13, 2005, Williams was executed by lethal injection after clemency and a four-week stay of execution were both rejected by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, amid debate over the death penalty. Williams was the second inmate in California to be executed in 2005.

'Aspiration and wealth creation are not dirty words',UK prime minister David Cameron lashes out at Panama Papers report


UK Prime Minister David Cameron has been under mounting pressure since his father, Ian Cameron, was identified as a client of a Panamanian law firm that specializes in helping the wealthy to reduce their tax burdens by creating off shore investments and having offshore accounts in reports sparked by Panama Papers leaks.

The prime minister initially refused to say whether he had a stake in Blairmore Holdings, an offshore firm established by his father, before acknowledging he had sold his shares in it shortly before he was elected as Prime minister in 2010.

Mr Cameron, who became the first Prime Minister to publish detailed records  of his own tax payments, defended the “right of every British citizen to  make money lawfully” and said parents who give large financial gifts to  their children should be “proudly” supported by the Government. 
While speaking to MPs in parliament, Cameron fiercely denied any wrongdoing and said he didn't like the way his father was being remembered.
 
“This is a Government and this should be a country that believes in  aspiration and wealth creation, so we should defend the right of every  British citizen to make money lawfully,” Mr Cameron said.

“Aspiration and wealth creation are not somehow dirty words, they are the  key engines of the growth and prosperity in our country and we must always  support those who want to own shares and make investments to support their  families.” 
"I accept all of the criticisms for not responding more quickly to these issues last week," 
 "But as I said, I was angry about the way my father's memory was being traduced."

“On the issue of inheritance tax there is an established  system in this country – rather than people being embarrassed about passing  things to their children by wanting to keep a family home within the  family, I believe it is a natural human instinct and something that should  be encouraged.”
"As for parents passing money to their children while they are still alive, it is something that tax rules fully recognise.

"Many parents want to help their children when they buy their first car, get a deposit for their first home or face the costs of starting a family.

"It's entirely natural that parents should want to do these things and again it's something that we should not just defend but we should proudly support."

Cameron said his father had set up an investment fund overseas so it could trade in dollar securities - "an entirely standard practice and it is not to avoid tax". He said millions of Britons had investments in such funds through workplace pensions.

Kim Kardashian reveals the 'craziest place' she has ever had sex


Just a few hours after her sister Khloe blogged about having sex for the very first time at age 15, Kim Kardashian decided to talk about love and sex during a Q&A on her website's livestream.

When asked during the live interview if she was a member of the mile high club, a common slang for those who have had sexual intercourse on a flight, she simply replied: 'Am I? Yeah.'
 
But she went on to stress that she'd only ever do the deed on a private jet and not a public flight, and never on a short distance journey.
 
'But like the private,' she added. 'I don't think like a public plane...It would have to be an international flight. It was an international, night flight when no one's like around.'

The wife of rapper Kanye West, then insisted that an aeroplane isn't the craziest place she has ever had sex.
 
'Like a public movie theatre, yeah,' The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star said to her assistant Steph who was reading out all the messages.
 
But she refused to reveal if she shared such moments with her husband and rapper Kanye West.

Blac Chyna to change her name to Angela Kardashian after marrying Rob


A rep of the newly engaged mother of one says she plans to change her name to Angela Kardashian after marrying Rob Kardashian. 'She's soon to be Angela Kardashian. She's ecstatic,' a representative told People magazine, referring to Blac Chyna's birth name of Angela White.

Other sources told TMZ that Rob 'went to great lengths' to ensure his proposal to girlfriend of only 3 months was a shock to his family, calling his actions 'aggressively' on the quiet. None of his family members are currently talking to him...many believe he blinded-sided them with the engagement because he is angry with them. But will he go through with the wedding? Time will tell...
 

Porsche motors cleared of any responsibility for the crash that killed Paul Walker

A judge has cleared Porsche of any responsibility for the car crash that killed actor Paul Walker and his friend Roger Rodas. Walker and his friend Roger Rodas died in 2013 when the Porsche Carrera GT they were both in, driven by Rodas crashed into a tree.
 
Rodas’ widow Kristine went on to sue Porsche alleging that the Carrera GT had various ‘defects’ which resulted in her husband losing control of the car. 
 

Porsche strongly denied all allegations and have now been cleared of any responsibility in the star actor and Roger Rodas' death.

According to TMZ, Kristine's argument that the car was ill equipped to handle side impact was moot, since the fatal force came from the front when it hit the lamppost - as her own expert confirmed.
US District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez also rejected the front impact argument because 'Rodas' fatal injuries occurred when he actually was hurled into Paul Walker.'

He also rejected the fuel cell argument, finding that it was not the cause of the fire, and held that Rodas' lawyers had not presented evidence demonstrating the crash was caused by a defective suspension.
 
Her attorney, Mark Geragos has confirmed that the ruling will be appealed.

Photos: 5-year-old girl who is gradually going blind from rare disease gets her wish to see Pope Francis


Pope Francis on Wednesday April 6 met Elizabeth "Lizzy" Myers, a five-year-old American girl who does not know she is gradually going blind from a rare genetic disease, Usher syndrome.  Her parents are trying to get her to see as many things as she can, including meeting the Pope.
 
Accompanied by her parents and her little sister, Lizzy was able to speak to the 79-year-old Pontiff in an emotionally charged encounter at his weekly general audience at St Peter's. Pope Francis stroked the little girl's face and gave her a rosary.

"She was awestruck. She just teared up," her mother Christine Myers, who is Catholic, told reporters afterwards. "To her he's the big guy in the white hat."
"He asked us to pray for him and told us he would pray for us," she added.

Lizzy, whose case has received big media coverage in the United States, is not aware that she is suffering from Usher's Syndrome, which will eventually leave her deaf and blind.

Her parents said they would tell Lizzy, who already wears a hearing aid, about her condition gradually as she asks questions.

She could be blind in about seven years so they have started what they call a "visual bucket list" of sites and people they think she should see while she can.

The Myers family, from Belleville, Ohio, have spent the week in Rome taking in the city's historic sights as part of the "bucket list", drawn up in the knowledge that Lizzy has only limited time to see some of the wonders of the world.

Lizzy gave the Pope a piece of a meteorite she was given when she was a special guest at the Warren Rupp Observatory in Mansfield, Ohio, one of the first places on her parents' list.

Her condition, Usher Syndrome Type II, means that she will gradually lose her hearing and her sight. Following publicity surrounding her diagnosis, the family was offered free flights to anywhere in the world.

After reading of her case, an airline offered them round-trip tickets to anywhere in the world and the family chose Rome. They opted for Rome partly because Lizzy had been struck by Francis's fatherly air.

As well as meeting the Pope, she has this week visited the Colosseum and been treated to a VIP tour of the Italian capital's zoo.

"I feel like I have very little time to show her so much," her father Steve Myers said.
Her mother said she and her husband wanted to make sure that she also saw simple things while she could, "like bonfires and fireflies"

Kwara state government denies placing Saraki on a salary after leaving office


The Kwara state government has released a statement denying claims by an EFCC detective, Micheal Wetkas, who told the CCT today that investigations by the anti-graft agency showed that Saraki was still receiving salaries as governor of the state even after leaving office four years ago. The statement which‎ was signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Isiaka Gold, says only pensions have been paid to Saraki since leaving office. 


The statement in part reads :
"From June 2011, former Governor Saraki started receiving his pension which was N578,188.00 as other past governors in the country. After the review of pensions of former political office holders by the State Pension Board, the former governor’s pension increased to N1,239,493.94 monthly from October 2014 to date. Kwara State Government, therefore, dismissed as false and misleading the allegation that former Governor Saraki was receiving salaries after the expiration of his two-term tenure as governor of the state.”

Buhari advises states to do background checks on foreign companies before conducting business with them



President Buhari at the opening of the maiden Kaduna Economic and Investment Summit, organised by the Kaduna State Government, in Kaduna yesterday, advised private companies and state governments to be careful and conduct proper background checks on foreign companies before doing business with them.
The President, who was represented by Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i, said:
“In the face of dwindling oil revenue, I am very pleased to note the efforts being made by state governments to diversify their internally generated revenue sources by opening up their economy for investors and providing a conducive enabling environment. “More recently, these efforts have been demonstrated not with mere rhetoric or political statements, but with practical policies and well thought out legislation.
“The Kaduna Investment and Economic Summit is a pointer to one of these efforts. State governments and, indeed, the private sector should take care and make background checks before engaging with foreign partners.”
"The summit would help diversify our oil dependent economy to other viable sectors, where we have competitive advantage."
“Private sector led investments remain the most sustainable way of creating much needed jobs and engendering purposeful growth,”
"All stakeholders must make concerted efforts towards sustaining functioning industries, establishing new ones as well as revival of moribund industries."
