"I thought only people in Africa got HIV," says a white woman who got the virus!

Just when you thought you'd heard it all when it comes to ignorance! So this white lady has never imagined a white person contracting the HIV virus because she assumed that it was only people in Africa who got it. Not funny, but I guess the joke was on her!

According to the Daily Mail Rachel Dilley, 48, a mother of three, was diagnosed with HIV after a summer romance with a man she'd met on a dating site. She said she never dreamed she was at risk of HIV because she never realized that white people had ever had it and the risks had genuinely never crossed her mind.

POTUS was spotted doing a little shopping for his lady loves at a GAP store in New York. I would have thought his days of hitting the malls were over when he was elected the leader of the free world, but it shows just how down-to-earth this man can be.

People Magazine reports that while in Manhattan for some Democratic party fundraisers, the president stopped at one of the GAP chain’s Midtown stores Tuesday to pick up a few souvenirs for the ladies back home.

A new concept in nail art: Cuticle Tattoos!

So this season, nail art has migrated south to the cuticles. 

Cuticle art/tattoo is a trend that began late last year and is quickly gaining momentum as manicure fans discover it.

It's an easy way to accent nail art with easy-to-apply temporary/faux cuticle tattoos. This may sound complicated but it's not. They come in the form of stickers that are applied on the cuticle and easily wash off...without the pain of actual tattoos.

Cuticle tattoos serve a double purpose, adding an extra bit of flair to a manicure while also disguising the often dry and unsightly skin that covers the base of each fingernail. Not only do they go along the cuticle, they can also be applied on the finger nail itself to create an oh-so-cool effect that you can't get anywhere else.

They nail appliques are currently available at Sephora

Karrueche Tran dumps Chris Brown after Rihanna's secret visit during rehab


Rihanna secretly visited her troubled ex-boyfriend Chris Brown during his recent stint in a Malibu rehab, causing his on-again, off-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran to blow her stack.

Confidential reveals that in late January, Rihanna flew on a private plane to visit Brown at the Malibu rehab center where he is serving a court-ordered stint in an anger management and drug recovery program. Brown entered the program in early November and was slapped with an additional two months by a judge in late February.

Internet rumors had placed RiRi at Brown’s center in early December, but we’re told that was nonsense. In January, our source says, she actually did arrive at the center, spent a few hours with Brown and then jetted out quickly, with only a few staffers knowing.

Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto fuel more romance rumours as she posts selfies of the pair in Paris

Good friends? Maybe.

Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o has definitely figured out how to keep the rumor mill going. Just two weeks ago, she was rumored to be dating Somalian rapper K'Naan after being spotted with him in New York a day after the Oscars, but that hasn't stopped other rumors speculating that Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto are more than just friends.

The oscar winning pair who joked about being an item added more fuel to the fire by posing for a selfie together in Paris.

"Selfie @jaredleto Done" captioned Lupita as she posted the picture of the pair in a series of four different selfies.

Leto had poked fun at his "relationship" with Lupita when he thanked her in his speech at the Independent Spirit Awards. "I want to thank all the women I've been with and all the women who think they've been with me,'' he joked. "I'd also like to thank my future ex-wife, I'm talking to you Lupita Nyong'o," he continued.

They would make a cute couple though, don't you think?

Dad rapes daughter again to attain success

A man was arrested and charged with raping his own teen-aged daughter, according to a media report in Nigeria.

Lagos Police said that when they arrested the man,  he told them that he raped his daughter because he wanted to be successful.

Police identified the suspect to be about 42-year-old. He was remanded into the Ikoyi prison after being charged with raping his 15-year-old daughter.

According to the initial police investigation, the rape occurred 2:30pm, at a residence, where the girl lived with her mother.

The defendant told investigators that he heard a voice instructing him to have sex with his daughter if he wanted to succeed in life. Police said that this was not the first time that the suspect had abused his daughter.

The man had first raped his daughter when she was just 6 years old. His wife caught him, but she did not call police after he promised never to do it again.

Jay Z agrees to be Kanye West's best man as long as reality TV cameras stay off his family

We all know Kanye West and Jay Z have been best buddies for a long time. So it's no surprise that Kanye tapped Jay Z to be his best man in his upcoming wedding with reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

Power couple Jay Z and Beyonce have ventured into nearly every type of media, but there's one that they won't step into--->Reality television! Media sources are reporting that as much as Jay Z would like to be there for his friend, he would only be a best man under one condition; his wife Beyonce and daughter Blue Ivy wouldn't be caught on camera during the ceremony.

The Daily Star reports that according to Jay Z, reality television is far below his standards and is also trying to avoid being associated with the medium. It's also said that the thought of being on "Keeping up with the Kardashians" mortifies Jay's wife Beyonce.

Inspite of recent claims by Kim Kardashian that the wedding will remain small and intimate, the affair will most likely be recorded for her family reality show, as the reality star has done in major milestones in her life.

High Court temporarily stops new parking levies

The High Court has temporarily stopped the Nairobi County government from charging the new parking fees.

This is after Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi moved to court and obtained the orders pending the hearing of a petition filed by Kenya Taxi Cabs Association.

On Wednesday this week, matatu and taxi operators went on strike to protest against increase in parking fees, a move that witnessed near paralysis in the city’s public transport system. The strike forced many Kenyans to walk to work.

According to the new seasonal tickets, private salon cars will have to part with 5000 Shillings while buses will pay 8000 Shillings to operate at designated terminals.

But the operators appear to have found temporal reprieve from high court judge Isack Lenaola  after the Kenya Taxi Cabs Association got orders stopping the Nairobi county government from levying new rates.

Nairobi senator Mike Mbuvi was also enjoined in the suit as an interested party.

Mbuvi condemned the high levies and asked the Nairobi county government  to lower parking fees for private vehicles which is now at 300 Shillings per vehicle.

His friend Ng'ang'a was also allegedly arrested and chained next to Mwangi. The two are now at Wilson airport waiting for the police to formally confer charges against them.

Mwangi posted two photos on his twitter handle, one of the scar on his neck and the other of and with his friend in custody.

NAIROBI:Striking PSV to be kept off the roads for 3 months

At least 115 vehicles, impounded during the Wednesday city traffic chaos and their number plates plucked off, will remain off the road for at least three months.

This came as the 36 drivers arrested during the matatu strike were arraigned in court, charged with three counts of stealing, obstruction and destroying public property and fined Sh100,000 each. The impounded vehicles were towed to police stations in Nairobi for violating various traffic laws.

Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo ordered that the number plate be surrendered to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The Traffic Act outlaws obstruction or abandoning a vehicle on a road and empowers the court to fine a first offender Sh50,000 or a year in jail.

Move over A-list stars, tiny tots are taking over Hollywood!

Photographer Tricia Messeroux and her Toddlewood team have transformed kids to look like iconic movie stars on the 2014 Oscars red carpet.

While J. Law's pint-sized clone is cute, check out little Jared Leto!

The kid looks dapper in a black and white tux just like the "Dallas Buyer Club" star wore. He's also rocking the same facial hair as the Academy Award winner.

Mini-Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves got the tiny treatment as well. Their kiddie counterparts perfectly recreated the stars' old-school Hollywood glam ensembles!

Khloe Kardashian Buys Justin Bieber's Mansion

Lets hope Khloe Kardashian gets along with Justin Bieber's neighbors better than he did. The reality star has purchased Bieber's infamous house in Calabasas, California.
 
The 29-year-old has snapped up Justin Bieber's mansion, which is famous not only for being a notorious party pad, but also because it's in the neighborhood where the “Baby” singer allegedly egged a home.

It's not difficult to figure out why the Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality star - who in January sold the Tarzan love nest she once shared with her estranged husband Lamar Odom - chose this area: her neighbor will be sister Kourtney.  

Bieber, who has been living in an Atlanta, Georgia rental - bought the 9,000 square foot Spanish style mansion that sits on 1.3 acres in 2012 for $6m. TMZ has reported Khloe paid $7.2m for the dream property.
 
The spread features a large kitchen with an island, a library, a home theater, a swimming pool with a hot tub and a guest house. There is also a grafittied skateboard ramp on the grounds, but that will most likely be removed.

Before Bieber, Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole Murphy owned the property.

Lupita Nyong'o's lip balm from the Oscars sells out

Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o, on the other hand, reached into her clutch and pulled out something else — a tube of HydraQuench Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm.

The moment sparked a #LupitasLipBalm mania on social media. The hashtag trended, the exchange was turned into a gif, and fans were quick to figure out exactly what the 31-year-old actress gave DeGeneres.

The couple is said to be eyeing a luxury property in Mexico for their intimate nuptials, and with the wedding said to be right around the corner, it is reported that the soon to be Mr and Mrs Scott Disick already bid farewell to the single life with a bachelor and bachelorette parties in New York city in February.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Set Wedding Date

They say third time's a charm. Twice-married reality star Kim Kardashian is wasting no time becoming Mrs. West.
 
The 33-year-old reality star has already set a date to wed Kanye, 36, in Paris. The two will walk down the aisle on May 24, according to UsWeekly.

That will be only seven months after the Yeezus singer got down on one knee to propose to the reality star in San Francisco with a 15-carat diamond engagement ring. 

It's also been reported the event will be televised, so undoubtedly the TV network will foot most of that bill.

Kardashian Homes Robbed of cash and valueables

Khloe Kardashian recently realized that her Tarzan home that she shared with her estranged husband Lamar Odom had been robbed of jewelry worth a whopping $250,000.

Fastforward to a few months ago, older sister Kourtney realized that she had robbed of cash worth $50,000.

Sources told TMZ that the money was stolen from inside Kourtney's Calabasas home, following an appearance gig that paid in cash. Kourtney believes it was an inside job.

It is said that Kourtney left the money in a safe place in the house for a couple days -- and when she finally went to deposit the loot ... it was gone!

Given the timing and the fact that Kourtney and Khloe work with so many of the same people, the police believe the two thefts are connected.

Cops plan to question people who had access to Kourtney's house around the time of the theft -- and they'll give special attention to people who ALSO had access to Khloe's house.

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe's Daughter Weds

Zimbabweans celebrated the union of Bona Mugabe, the daughter of the President  of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe and pilot Simba Chikore in a very glamorous wedding that cost a whopping $5,027,400. 

Customary procedures for the marriage were concluded last August when Simba Chikore paid a bride price of US$35,191 plus 15 cows to president Mugabe for the hand of his 24-year-old daughter Bona.

The catholic service and reception which was attended by African heads of State, Foreign dignitaries and billionaires like South African president Jacob Zuma, his Zambian counterpart Michael Sata, DRC’s Joseph Kabila, and Teodore Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of the Equatorial and socialites was held at the First Family's plush private residence in Harare, a suburb of Borrowdale.

The road linking to the residence was beautifully tarred brewing a lot of outbursts from the Zimbabweans as to why other necessary infrastructural projects in Harare have been ignored.

It has emerged that the Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe gave his newly wed daughter and her husband $100,000 (Sh8.6 million) and 55 head of cattle as presents.

Mother scores "A" in a KCSE comeback 10 years later

Here is a perfect example of how we should never give up on our dreams and how age is nothing but a number.

U.S Court Defrocks a Kenyan Pastor over Sexual Misconduct



A US based Kenyan pastor who was defrocked following allegations of sexual misconduct will not be reinstated, a Massachusetts court has ruled.

Judge Joseph M Walker III of Middlesex County Superior Court dismissed claims filed by Rev Dr Anthony Karimi Mumbui to counter a suit by the Trustees of the Presbytery of Northern New England (PNNE), seeking to enforce an earlier decision by a special tribunal.

Dr Mumbui had sought to be allowed to resume his duties as the pastor of the Kenyan Community Presbyterian Church in Lowell, Massachusetts.

The court sitting in Boston ruled that evidence adduced indicated that the Presbytery of Northern New England acted within its mandate when it defrocked the pastor in 2010.

Dr Mumbui had moved to court to challenge a decision to strip him of his position as a cleric. He was removed from the pulpit by the PNNE trustees in November 2010 following an ecclesiastical trial which found him guilty of three counts of sexual abuse and sexual malfeasance.

Who Rocked It: Mel B vs Joanna Krupa

They are both reality stars. They are both beautiful women. They both have amazing bodies. That's not all they have in common though, Mel B and Joanna Krupa donned this similar grey sequined gown at different post-Oscars parties in Hollywood. Joanna attended the Fame and Philanthropy party in Beverly Hills while Mel B attended Elton John's AIDS Foundation Academy party.

While Mel B's dress showed a bit more skin as it featured cutouts in the thigh area, Joanna opted for more cover-up and less sequins in the waist area. Mel B let her ombre locks down while Joanna went for an exquisite updo.

So, at the end of it all, who rocked it?
