Kanye West Admits dating Kim Kardashian, Slams her Ex

Kanye West and Kim at the
 In January, Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose claimed that Kim Kardashian played a role in her breakup with the rap star. Amber accused West of cheating with the reality TV mogul.

In a new song "Theraflu," released Wednesday, West confirms at least part of Amber's claims, revealing strong feelings for Kardashian.

On the DJ Khaled song, West raps, "And I'll admit, I fell in love with Kim. 'Round the same time she had fell in love with him." The him West refers to is Kardashian's husband Kris Humphries who she is divorcing.

West continues, taking a dig at the New Jersey Nets power forward. "Well, that's cool baby girl, do ya thing. Lucky I ain't have Jay drop 'em from the team." West implies that his good friend Jay-Z, who is a co-owner of the Nets, could have Humphries released from the team.

West and Kardashian have supported each other's projects amid rumors of a secret romance. In March, Kardashian attended West's runway show during Paris Fashion Week. Last year, West appeared on Kardashian's reality show, "Kourtney & Kim Take New York."

Kardashian and West are currently dating and were photographed leaving a New York movie theater Wednesday night after viewing "Hunger Games."

The pair were pictured leaving a movie theatre in New York last night and Kim was seen exiting the rapper's apartment in the same clothes this morning.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Celebrate 4th Wedding Anniversary

Four years after Jay-Z and Beyoncé said "I do," this power couple's romance is stronger than ever.
Jay and Bee madly in love


Since Hova "put a ring on it" in a super-secret ceremony on April 4, 2008, the famously private pair has continued to enjoy immense career success.


But their greatest accomplishment?


The birth of beautiful baby Blue Ivy Carter on January 7.

And while BIC can't talk yet, she's ready shown the world she has her parents' good looks and an impressive set of lungs. Just days after her birth, Blue became the youngest person ever to appear on the Billboard charts.



Justin Bieber treats Selena to a cheap picnic in the park


The loved-up pair cuddled up after munching an al fresco lunch in LA’s Griffith Park.

And while Disney star Selena, 19, turned her face to the sun, Justin kept his beanie hat on for a little extra warmth.
The Baby singer is known for his extravagant dates. He once hired the entire Staples Center stadium and had a steak dinner and a private screening of Titanic laid on for his gorgeous girlfriend.

He tweeted: "Romance isn't dead. Treat your lady right fellas.”

But yesterday the multi-millionaire 18-year-old proved that you could still be romantic on a budget.

All it takes is a pre-packed sarnie, a soft drink and a good dose of Californian sunshine.
Still the besotted duo could have chosen a better spot for their public picnic.

That dry dirt mound must have played havoc with Selena’s pristine white trousers.

Will.i.am takes lessons to learn British slang

The Black Eyed Peas star is trying to learn UK slang because he sometimes struggles to understand what fellow The Voice judges Jessie J, Tom Jones and Danny O’Donoghue and the contestants are saying.
He’s asked for help from producer Labrinth – who showcased new album Electronic Earth in London last night – after the pair hit it off at the Brits.

A source said: “Will wants a crash course in youth talk.

Pal Cheryl Cole has taught him some of the lingo but Labrinth suggested he watch EastEnders and Skins. Lab’s also going to take him to a footie match.”

Guessing it won’t be Chelsea – he won’t want to mingle with Ashley Cole in the players’ lounge after the game.

The Nigerian who died in the Oakland's University killing

Doris Chibuko, 40, was born in the state of Enugu, in eastern Nigeria. She went to law school and worked as a lawyer in Nigeria.

She met Efanye in college, and in 2002 they were married in a big traditional Nigerian wedding. That same year, the couple immigrated to the United States, where they had three children who are now ages 3, 5 and 8.

Her family said she loved to cook and was mostly a housewife, but she also worked part time at Villa Fairmont Mental Health Rehabilitation Center in San Leandro. Doris planned to become a nurse. Her mother came to California from Nigeria to take care of the children while Doris studied at Oikos University.

She was two months away from graduating.
A gunman killed seven people at Oakland's Oikos University few days ago..Doris Chibuko, was one of the victims.. May her soul Rest in perfect peace...

Obama’s Quran burning apology: Matters arising


When on February 21, 2012 some copies of the Quran and other religious materials were removed from a detainee facility at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan for disposal, they were inadvertently burnt by United States soldiers.
The Qurans were included for disposal because they had “extremist inscriptions” on them, which aroused the fear that they were being used to fertilize extremist communications. John Allen, commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force, said that the decision to burn them was not because they were religious materials, nor because it had to do with the faith of Islam. He said it was done in error and when they discovered the documents, they immediately stopped and intervened. This singular action sparked off violence of immense magnitude in Afghanistan. President Obama had apologized to Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, promising to hold his subjects accountable – an apology that the rebels dismissed as “mere slogans” and some Americans saw as unnecessary.
In 1988 when the British novelist, Ahmed Salman Rushdie, published The Satanic Verses (a collection of some verses in the Quran alleged to allow intercessory prayers to be made to three Meccan goddesses), Muslims said it made a mockery of their religion which resulted in fatwa (Islamic death sentence) by the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini on February 14, 1989. Then, in July 1991, Hitoshi Igarashi was stabbed to death for translating the book into Japanese.
In 2004, Theo Van Gogh released his documentary film, “Submission”, which documented violence against women in the Muslim world. This cost him his life as Mohammed Bouyeri, an Islamic extremist, murdered him in broad daylight. And even as you read this, a Dutch member of parliament, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who worked with Van Gogh to produce the film, is under twenty-four-hour protection. Bouyeri, the murderer, was convicted to a life sentence without parole. In a courtroom during his trial, Mohammed Bouyeri told his mother that he felt no sympathy for her because she was an unbeliever.
In 2006, a Danish cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, published a cartoon of Mohammed wearing a bomb. A Somalian fundamentalist broke into his house nearly four years after the publication with the intent to murder him but for the timely intervention of the police. The cartoon was the most controversial of the twelve Jyllands-Posten cartoons of the time.
In 2007 at Unity High School in Sudan, Gillian Gibbons, an English schoolteacher, was arrested, humiliated, prosecuted, convicted, imprisoned, and later deported. And what was her offence? “Blasphemy!” The children in her class named a teddy bear Mohammed. And so, Sara Khawad, an office assistant, filed the complaint and was a key witness in the prosecution. Not even the testimony of one of the school children named Mohammed that the teddy bear was named after him could save the situation.
The catalogue is endless. Everywhere and at all times, the Muslim world is inflamed. In Nigeria, the story is not different. The country had at various times experienced and still experiences carnage of enormous magnitude occasioned by the abuse of the sacred name of the Almighty. Whoever doubts that Prophet Mohammed is an envoy of God cannot be helped. Someday, he will have this truth forced upon him – and perhaps, with considerable pressure too.
But man has shaped, reshaped and twisted divine messages to suit his purpose and convenience, dimming the purity and distorting what meaning that ever was in the “word” to satisfy his ego. This warped view of religion is not only incompatible with the moral code but also contradicts the laws of evidence.
Much as we cannot reduce the import of burning a sacred book, we cannot also rationalize killings in the name of God. When was it ever heard that it is man’s duty to fight for God? When was it man’s place to accept or reject apologies for crimes committed against the Almighty? If we claim to be true servants of God, it must be through a demonstration of true humanity and not otherwise. But at these times, this particular attitude of mankind, of playing contrived roles of divinity, is the most astonishing thing in our time.
Man is held accountable for his actions and inactions through the immutable laws of nature, whether he wills it or not. And so, if a man wakes up and gives to his dog the names of all the gods at once, why should the worshippers at the shrine of those gods lose sleep on the development? At a time in history, the late M.K.O. Abiola ordered the sinking of three million copies of the Bible in the high sea. The container load of the holy book was bound for Nigeria when he used his influence to seize and destroy them. The Christian world did not bat an eyelid. When on August 22, 2011 the Iranian authorities intercepted six thousand five hundred copies of the New Testament Bible and burnt three hundred of them “in order not to deviate [their] youth”, the Papacy did not raise eyebrows and the Christian community did not flare up.
These many deaths and persecutions brought about in the name of Him who is life and peace, to say the least, robs man of his dignity. A rational thinking person would easily see through the falsehood and sham of self-centred truth and must recognize the only truth which is in God and which is God. Intolerance to religious practices is unjustifiable and pictures man’s image worse than he is. At the root of all authentic religious beliefs and practices, love is fundamental – the greatest of all virtues. It conquers all and holds the key to the salvation of man both in this life and in the hereafter. It is man’s duty to pursue peace at all costs and make the world a better place irrespective of creed.

Pictured: Drake dines out in Manchester with new best friend Mario Balotelli

 Canadian rap star Drake took his partying to a whole new Premier League when he made best friends with Mario Balotelli during his visit to Manchester at the weekend.

Drake was invited down to watch Manchester City's game against Sunderland by madcap Mario, a huge rap music fan. And straight after the 3-3 draw Mario whisked his new buddy over to Zouk Tea Bar & Grill for a slap up Indian meal. Mario clearly made quite the impression on Drake – as he then waxed lyrical about his new pal to his 15,000 fans packing into his Manchester Arena gig on Sunday night.



He told the crowds that Mario, watching the gig in a blinged up gold ensemble, was his “new family member” despite only knowing him for two days. He added: “No matter what team he's in, he's an amazing football player.” That endorsement will have pleased Mario – who has come under fire for his petulant behaviour from pundits, fans and Blues boss Roberto Mancini.

But hey, he did do his bit to showcase City to Drake at the weekend – letting the rap heart-throb use his executive box at the Etihad Stadium to watch the game, and even getting him a padded sky blue City jacket to take away with him as he jetted off for the next gigs on his ongoing world tour. Mancini will probably be pleased to hear, however, that Mario didn't continue the partying with Drake at his official after-party over at The Bijou Club after that big Sunday night gig.

Drake held court at the lavish bash, packed with fans, and even gave an impromptu performance on the mic on the balcony of the club. Stars including Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas and ex-City footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips were among those heading to the after-party revels.

It was also an impressive turnaround for the Chapel Street club – which had been hit by an arson attack on Thursday night. Bijou boss Damien Matto said: “We had a great night, Drake loved the place and the atmosphere was fantastic.” And it seems it was not only Mario leaving a lasting impression on Drake – who scored a number one hit in the UK with his Rihanna collaboration What's My Name.

For Drake was so impressed with the chillo kebabs and lobster he ate at Zouk on Saturday, I hear he then ordered a huge takeout the very next day from the Chester Street indian restaurant to be delivered to his suite at the swanky Lowry Hotel. Rock 'n' roll...
