Rihanna goes off on journalist who branded her a poor role model

Rihanna has let loose on a British journalist who branded her a poor role model to young girls. In her article titled -  “Pop’s poisonous princess: Glorying in drugs, guns and sleaze, Rihanna’s toxic role model for her army of young fans.”, Daily Mail editor, Elizabeth Ann Jones, talked about her disgust at Rihanna's weed-smoking, boob-exposing lifestyle.

Well trust RiRi to respond. She posted a photo of the journalist on her instagram with the caption:
"LOL!!!! My money got a bad habit of pissing people off!! If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here's a toxic tip: don't be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! What's all this about hair and nails and costumes and tattoos?? ....That shit ain't clever!!! That shit ain't journalism! That's a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!! Nobody over here acts like they're perfect! I don't pretend that I'm like you, i just live... My life!! And I don't know why y'all still act so surprised by any of it!! "Role Model" is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own fucked up shit to work on, I'll never portray that as perfect, but for right now it's ME!! Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy! And P.S. my first American Vogue cover was in 2011...APRIL!!! #ElizabethAnnJones"


KING OF POP GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN; MICHAEL JACKSON

Four years on and almost all of us can still remember the exact moment when they discovered that Michael Jackson, the most influential artist of all time, had suddenly died just weeks before the star was meant to be playing a staggering 50 dates at London’s 02 Arena for his ‘This Is It’ residency.

His loss is still as felt as fresh as ever as millions of fans have taken to Twitter to pay tribute to the legend.
@LinesofLogic Said I still remember where I was when I heard that Michael Jackson died. It’s crazy how it’s been four years already.
@KateSangalang8 posting: “Michael Jackson, he was honestly my biggest idol since I was 6, till now im 17. Love him so much. The TRUE LEGENDWhile @WiLD_hOOligan tweeted: “RIP to the greatest entertainer of all time. The legendary MIchael Jackson. It’s been four years and your gone but never ever forgotten.?”(sic)
@TheMosMorales showed his devastaion four years on writing: “Four years since we lost an icon, was too young and too talented. R.I.P. king of pop Michael Jackson”
To say that Michael Jackson is a musical legend would be an understatement. During his career, he released one of the best-selling albums of all time, won 13 Grammys and earned upwards of $500 million (and that’s just the short list).
Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. He was the seventh child of nine children to Joseph and Katherine Jackson and was born into a typical working class family. The city of Gary is 25 miles from downtown Chicago and is famous for its massive steel industry.


Independence Day 2 Is Coming; NO WILL SMITH

Independence Day Poster
We all loved the film INDEPENDENCE DAY starring Will Smith. I watched that film on a very cool Saturday afternoon on a local television show and the movie was captivating, thrilling and you can't beat the fiction effects it was at the top.
For all you movie lover and hoping to find something similar to Independence day 1, search no more because Independence day 2 will be released 2015.
While the film has already been announced, Will Smith (After Earth) has yet to sign on to the project, and it is unclear with the film will feature his character or not.
The film will be released almost 20 years after the 1996 original. Why did it take so long? Well, mainly because they weren't sure it was a good idea.
Dan Devlin, who co-wrote the film, stated in an interview with THR, "We resisted doing the sequel for years because we still wanted to honor the first one." He added, "I think it took a long time, but I feel like we finally got something that really feels like, 'that’s worth seeing as a sequel to Independence Day.'"
Roland Emmerich, whose new film White House Down opens Friday, will return to direct Independence Day 2.
"Will Smith cannot come back because he's too expensive, but he'd also be too much of a marquee name," director Roland Emmerich - who is returning to the franchise - told The New York Daily News. "It would be too much." - See more at: http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2013/06/independence-day-sequel-a-go-minus-will-smith/#sthash.aBBtMmQw.dpuf


17 YEAR OLD SUSPECTED RITUALIST, ARRESTED

Shouldn't we send our children to school anymore? All sort of unimaginable peer group and bad manners are picked from the school. A 17 yr old boy with charm and he understand and knows how to chant the incantation. WEW!!! That needs more than discipline.

A 17-year-old boy has been handed over to the Oyo State Police Command after he was caught by teachers at St. Luke Grammar School, Molete, Ibadan, while allegedly chanting incantations on a student at a nearby bush where the student had gone to ease himself.
The action, the teachers claimed, was to kidnap the victim
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), OlabisiOkuwobi-Ilobanafor, the suspect, ChukwuChijoke, had claimed that the charm found on him was a gift from his grandfather, which has the powers to make him command anyone to do whatever he asked them to do.
But the suspect explained that the charm posed no evil on the student.
He said the name of the charm was “Ezebinafor” and that it was a gift from his grandfather for protection and to invoke command.

One day for the thief and one day for the owner and the proper authority to melt justice on the culprit.


Man With Male/Female Organs Escapes Primitive Mob In Delta

Have you ever seen someone with both male and female organs? Well if you have not, Saturday Tribune ran into one last Wednesday at Sapele, Delta State.
hermaphrodite in warri Nigeria
A man in his late 40s, who refused to utter a word despite the hysteria his presence generated, was almost lynched by a mob but for the intervention of police and other security agents.
The man, whose name could not be ascertained as of press time, was discovered to possess a full grown pair of breasts, which dangled from his chest, just like those of a young woman.
An angry mob was going for the kill when security operatives were quickly drafted to the scene. Their (mob) grouse was that it was strange and unacceptable that a man would possess dual sex organs.( SHUU!!! IS THE MAN'S MAKING?)
Young men near a filling station at the Sapele-Warri/New Road junction tore the man’s clothes, and revealed a very small male organ, allegedly with no scrotum – which to them suggested that he was a hermaphrodite.
Saturday Tribune gathered from some onlookers who claimed to know the man that he had been seeking spiritual solutions to his problem by moving from one church to another.
It was further learnt that at one of the churches, he started manifesting some strange behaviours while for some time he hid his male and female sexual organs from church officials who later found out his status as a hermaphrodite.
The voice and face of the man were masculine even as he was said to also have female reproductive organs.
Men of the Nigeria Police in Sapele, and the other security operatives who were drafted to scene, quickly dislodged the irate mob, who were taking turns to fiddle with the man’s sex organs, ostensibly to further confirm their suspicions that the man was really a freak.
He was thereafter spirited away by the police to the Sapele Police Station for protective custody and investigations.
(PLEASE LET THAT MAN LIVE A NORMAL LIFE)

"When the last breakage happened, we went to play back the branch's CCTV, and we now saw Jaiyeola in the middle of the night, opening the window at the back of my office. There's a control panel which controls the security door, which he touched. So, the CCTV stopped."

He also took the police to the building he was constructing which was near completion." He said after recovering the item, First Bank transferred the matter to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.

Why was Justin Bieber banned from a indoor skydiving facility?

Las Vegas Indoor Skydiving has confirmed that Bieber is banned for life after he used the facility and then backed out of the payment deal he arranged with the company.

Why was Justin Bieber banned from a indoor skydiving facility?Sources told E! News that Bieber and six others arrived mere minutes before closing, and when the 20-year-old pop star was approached about payment he was apparently given the option of shelling out $1,600 for himself and his crew, or posting a shout-out to the facility and a photo of himself mid-flight to his Instagram account.

Bieber reportedly agreed to post a photo as payment, but the company never got their $1,600 worth of publicity, as an insider told E! that Bieber "actually faked like he was posting something, per the agreement, but never did."

In addition to allegedly not paying up, the group apparently didn't bother to tip the staff either. A source also told the website the group was "a disrespectful bunch," and added that Bieber wasn't very friendly and seemed "very disconnected from reality."

Earlier this year, a club manager in Vienna told the press that Bieber was not welcome at Passage, after the singer's bodyguards allegedly smashed fans' cameras, as well as destroyed the cellphones of other patrons.
