Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen split only temporary

Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen's break up is "not permanent".

The pair who met on the set of Midnight in Paris, have reportedly ended their two-year romance, but friends believe split could simply be a temporary setback.

A source close to the couple claimed that they will probably get back together, telling E! News: "It's likely not permanent. Temporary hiccup."

The 34-year-old actress met Michael - who has a 14-year-old daughter Lily with ex-girlfriend Kate Beckinsale - when they co-starred in the Woody Allen film, although she insists they remained friends until after shooting ended.

Michael 'greatful' for meeting Rachel

During a previous interview, Rachel said: "Michael and I didn't get together while we were filmingMidnight in Paris, which I feel strongly about not doing when I'm working. We became quite good friends, which I think is a great way to start. I felt very blessed to have made a Woody Allen film in Paris together."

Meanwhile, the 44-year-old actor said he was "grateful" to have met the beauty while making the film.

''I will be forever grateful that it was where I met Rachel. Nothing happened while we were filming. It was a lot later on after that," he said.

Prior to her romance with Michael, Rachel dated The Notebook co-star Ryan Gosling for two years before splitting in 2007.

Jennifer Aniston plans on taking Justin Theroux's surname after wedding

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly taking Justin Theroux's surname when they wed.

The former Friends actress got engaged to her Wanderlust co-star last August after he proposed to her on his 41st birthday and Jennifer is said to be so smitten with her fiancĂ© that she plans to change her trademark name to show the world how much she loves him. 

A source revealed to People magazine: "She plans on privately changing her name to Theroux. She likes the way it sounds and jokes that [Jennifer Theroux] sounds very posh. They really seem to have perfect chemistry, like they complete each other. 

Designed their own wedding bands

"There's a perfect balance. He was doting when she turned to him [at the Oscars], but the overall vibe was simply fun and effortless. [Jen] is crazy about Justin and can't wait to be his wife. Jen seems more confident than ever and they've become a great team."

Jennifer, 44, and Justin, 41, are allegedly hoping to tie the knot shortly after the screen beauty finishes working on her latest film, currently known as the Untitled Elmore Leonard Project, in Connecticut on 8 March.

The couple have even designed their own wedding bands to make the ceremony more personal.

The source added: "It will be a small affair with their closest friends."

Jennifer - who was previously married to Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt, who is now engaged to Angelina Jolie - thinks life couldn't be "better" now Justin is in her life.

The insider said: "Jen was always very grateful for everything that she had. But now life could not be better. And she deserves all the happiness in the world."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Steamy Pics

The reality show star wears nothing but an ecstatic look and a bedhead-style hairdo as her lover nuzzles her neck.

And Kanye shows off his bare back as he wraps his arms around his pregnant girlfriend.

The steamy shoot, by Nick Knight, graced the cover of French fashion mag L'Officiel Hommes.

In another interview, Kim – who is expecting the couple's first child in July – admitted she gave sister Kourtney a hard time for falling pregnant with her son, Mason, before walking down the aisle.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Steamy ... Kim and Kanye

She told Cosmopolitan: "I was like, 'You're not married! How could you do this?' I was really firm and strict. But she was like, 'Marriage isn't what I want.' And later, I realised she had a better family life than I did."

The 32-year-old added that she would still like to wed her rapper beau but she is taking it slowly after her second marriage, to basketball player Kris Humphries, lasted just 72 days.

She said: "(Marriage) is something I know that we both want in our future, but I don't have this sense of urgency about it.

"I have this best friend who understands me and helps me through all my tough experiences, and vice versa, you know? It just feels like this is it for me."

But the curvaceous star says now is the right time for motherhood.

She added: "I've always said that I wanted kids, but I don't think I ever would have been ready until now."

Despite partying at Elton John's Oscar party on Sunday night, Kim was pining for her 35-year-old man, who was in London for a gig at the weekend.

After posting a picture of nephew Mason, with the words, "I miss this guy so much!!" she added another shot of herself and Kanye.

And she wrote: "I miss him too!!!"

The mum-to-be hasn't been letting her style slip, despite her growing bump.

Kim Kadrashian and Simone Harouche

Last night she posted a picture of herself in a black wrapover dress and gold belt with a fur coat and sexy over-the-knee leather boots.

And she tweeted: "I love taking pics to check how outfits look. It gives you a better idea of how it really looks instead of just looking in mirror. Try it :) Xo"

She also spent yesterday working with her old school pal, stylist Simone Harouche, who is credited with transforming the looks of Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie

Kanye West lashes out at Justin Timberlake after Jay-z Collaboration

 Kanye West compared himself to Picasso and Walt Disney in a foul mouthed rant.

The All of the Lights hitmaker - who caused waves by slamming Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift at his gig in London over the weekend - launched into another expletive-laden diatribe on Tuesday evening, referring to himself as a musical equivalent to creative geniuses like Picasso, Walt Disney and Steve Jobs.

The 35-year-old rapper told the crowd at his Paris concert: "There's no motherfucking awards or sponsorships or none of that shit that can stop the dedication to bringing y'all that real shit.

"No matter how they try to control you, or the motherfucker next to you tries to peer pressure you, you can do what you motherfucking want. I am Picasso. I'm Walt Disney, I'm Steve Jobs."

'Evened out and fair'

Kanye hit out at Justin Timberlake, who collaborated with Jay-Z on the track, during his intimate gig at London's Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday.

He told the crowd: "I've got love for Hov but I'm not down with that suit and tie shit."

The star also lashed out at the Grammy Awards and Taylor Swift, who he infamously interrupted at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

He ranted: "Taylor Swift beat Beyonce at the Grammys? Beyonce be dancing in heels and shit. We need the music business to be evened out and fair. I've never won a Grammy against a white artist. I'm motherfucking Kanye West, we can create a human utopia if we try."

'I regret giving Amy Winehouse heroin' - Blake Fielder

 Blake Fielder-Civil wishes he had never let Amy Winehouse try heroin.

The reformed drug addict accepts he was responsible for introducing his late ex-wife to the dangerous drug and he believes the first time she tried heroin it sent her on a destructive path.

Recalling the night Amy smoked the substance for the first time on TV series The Jeremy Kyle Show, Blake said: "I'd taken it about three or four times, we were in a hotel in east London and I think I had about £10 of heroin with me, which is something I used to do after a club. I was smoking it on foil and she said, 'Can I try some?' I think I might have put up a weak resistance, the fact is whatever I said she did end up having some."

'She never injected it'

When asked by host Jeremy if that moment was the crossroads of the musician's life, he replied: "Well, yeah."

According to Blake, the first time Amy dabbled with the drug was "around two months" before they got married in Miami in May 2007 but he insists she didn't get hooked on heroin straight away. 

He said: "I've admitted that I was there when Amy had (heroin) for the first time, it was my doing, I don't think she'd ever experienced it without me ... the thing with heroin is you don't take it once and get a dependency straight away it can take quite a while to be build up a dependency ... I got my first habit where I had to do it every day before we went to get to America to get married. So it was maybe two months after that (she needed it). We smoked, she never injected it, I did inject eventually but not with Amy, after the relationship ended. 

"We were using it once a week for about two to three weeks, to then twice a week and then it gradually built up like that. One day we were laying in bed and Amy said she felt like she had a cold and I felt awful as well and I said, 'I think this is withdrawal.' And she said, 'I'm not doing that again.' Because it felt so horrible."

Beat his own addiction demons

A humble and repentant Blake - who has managed to beat his own addiction demons after a successful stint in rehab - regrets ever taking drugs with the Back to Black singer and all the damage their behaviour caused to their loved ones.

Asked if he wishes he'd never given her that first hit of heroin, he replied: "That goes without saying, of course. I have to be really concious about what I say because I don't want it to seem that I'm shirking responsibility. The fact is is that of course I regret it; not only just because of the damage it's caused Amy, and the loss of her life and the damage to her family, but also to my family and also to me. We've all gone through this addiction."

Amy died in July 2011 at the age of just 27 after an alcohol binge, and Blake - who raises two children with his partner Sarah Aspin - feels tremendous guilt about her passing, admitting when she passed he lost his "best friend".

Blurb/Shorttext:

The identification of Thulamela Heritage site in the Kruger National Park took place at the same time when south Africa was undergoing democratic dispensation. Dry-stone walls of the Thulamela Heritage Site were rebuilt into a Zimbabwe-type ruins. Many different aretifacts including golden beads were discovered. Human remains were uncovered.It is a site where communities of the Venda and Shangaan cultural groups were claiming ownership of the site. The events at Thulamela did not go unnoticed world wide. Tourists from the local communities and international visitors to the Kruger National Park were attracted to Thulamela - putting pressure on the site.School groups from the Limpopo Province visiting the site increased. Animals like Impalas,Elephants, Klipspringers,Kudus, etc started to disturb the integrity and authenticity of the walls that were. As a result, they had to be maintained regularly. This book's focus is more on advising the powers that be, to appropriately manage Thulamela Heritage Site. It is the first of its kind to be published. It should therefore serve as a launching pad for Heritage Management in South Africa and the rest of the world.

Amber Rose gives birth and posts first baby Pic [PHOTO]

Proud parents Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa welcomed son Sebastian Taylor less than 24 hours ago. And the couple have already shared the first photo of their little guy, whom Wiz has affectionately nicknamed "The Bash."

Early Friday morning, Rose tweeted "Best daddy ever.... Up with the baby so Muva can go back to sleep :-)," along with an adorable Instagram picture of Khalifa holding Sebastian.

Khalifa later tweeted, "Thanx for all the love guys. Bash took his first poop, had a good meal now he's peacin ✌" (thanks for sharing, Wiz!).

He also joked, "My wife sed she juss wants a jacc & coke, a cheesesteak, and a ciggarette :-) Thass why im marryin that woman!"

Rose and Khalifa have been chronicling their pregnancy via social media since they announced they were expecting last September. Though they revealed Sebastian's name only yesterday, they hinted at their baby-name choice during an interview on the radio show "Big Boy's Neighborhood" in January. "It's a total boss name for a boy," Rose said. "It's funny because I came up with the name for our boy and immediately he came up with a rapper [nickname] for him."

Mindy McCready kills herself she was 37

Mindy McCready, who hit the top of the country charts before personal problems sidetracked her career, has died in Arkansas in an apparent suicide. She was 37.

The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that McCready was found dead on Sunday at a residence in Heber Springs from what appeared to be a single, self-inflicted gunshot to the head. An autopsy was pending.

It wasn't the first suicide attempt for the troubled singer, whose list of problems only continued to grow in 2013.

McCready entered court-ordered rehab earlier this month after her father told a judge she was no longer taking care of herself or her children and was abusing drugs and alcohol. Her sons were put in foster care at the time, but it's not clear where Zander and Zayne were at the time of McCready's death.

Paying their respects

McCready's longtime boyfriend David Wilson, the father of her younger son, died last month in Arkansas. Authorities found his body on the same porch where they discovered McCready's on Sunday, and his death also was investigated as a suicide.

Wilson's passing struck McCready hard. She issued a statement last month lamenting his death. She called him her soul mate and a caregiver to her sons in an interview with NBC's Today. She said she'd never gone through anything as painful as his death.

"I just keep telling myself that the more suffering that I go through, the greater character I'll have," she said, according to a transcript of the interview.

News of McCready's death spread quickly on Sunday night on Twitter, with major country stars paying their respects to the onetime Nashville darling.

"Too much tragedy to overcome. R.I.P Mindy McCready," wrote Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks.

And Jason Aldean added: "Just heard about Mindy McCready. My thoughts and prayers are with her 2 boys and her family."

Personal problems

Melinda Gayle McCready arrived in Nashville in 1994 still in her teens with tapes of her karaoke vocals and earned a recording contract with BNA Records.

In 1996, her Guys Do It All the Time hit No 1 and its dig at male chauvinism endeared her to females. Her other hits included Ten Thousand Angels, also in 1996, and her album by that title sold 2 million copies.

She spent the next 15 years chasing another hit as personal problems began plaguing her. Her problems included a custody battle with her mother over one of her sons, an overdose and discord in her love life.

McCready took her older son, Zander, from her mother and the boy's legal guardian, Gayle Inge, in late 2011. She fled to Arkansas without permission over what she called child abuse fears. 

Authorities eventually found McCready hiding in a residence without permission and took the boy into custody.

She and Wilson had a son, Zayne, in April 2012. The older son's father is McCready's former boyfriend Billy McKnight.

Attempted suicide

In May 2010, she was hospitalised briefly after police responded to an overdose call at a home in North Fort Myers, Florida, owned by her mother. This followed a stint on Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, where she declared herself to be clean from drugs. She is the fifth celebrity appearing on that show to have died.

But her troubles began earlier. In 2004, she was charged with obtaining the painkiller OxyContin fraudulently at a pharmacy. She pleaded guilty and was placed on three years' probation.

She violated the probation with a drunken driving arrest in May 2005. A few days after that arrest, she was beaten and her boyfriend at the time was charged with attempted criminal homicide. Then she attempted suicide in July 2005, overdosed in September 2005 and slit her wrists in December 2008.

Also that year, McCready was charged in Arizona with hindering prosecution and unlawful use of transportation. Those charges stemmed from an alleged attempt in June 2005 to purchase two high performance boats, but she claimed she was trying to stop a con man.

In July 2007, she was arrested in her hometown of Fort Myers, Florida, on misdemeanour charges of scratching her mother on the face during a scuffle and resisting sheriff's deputies.

'I create the chaos myself'

She made headlines again in April 2008 when she claimed a longtime relationship with baseball great Roger Clemens. Published reports at the time said she met the pitcher at a Florida karaoke bar when she was 15 and he was 28 and married.

In June 2008, McCready was arrested and charged with violating her probation by falsifying her community service records relating to the 2004 drug charge. A month later, she entered an extended care facility for undisclosed treatment, and followed that with a 60-day jail sentence in the Williamson County jail.

McCready found some peace after her appearance on Celebrity Rehab and told The Associated Press in early 2010 she hoped to get her career restarted, write a book about her experiences and begin production on a reality show. She felt she'd finally gained some control over her life.

"It is a giant whirlwind of chaos all the time," she said. "I call my life a beautiful mess and organised chaos. It's just always been like that. 

"My entire life things have been attracted to me and vice versa that turn into chaotic nightmares or I create the chaos myself. I think that's really the life of a celebrity, of a big, huge, giant personality."

Hugh Grant welcomes baby no.2

Hugh Grant says he has become a father for the second time.

The Four Weddings and a Funeral star used his Twitter account to announce on Saturday: "Am thrilled my daughter now has a brother. Adore them both to an uncool degree."

He said both children "have a fab mum" and: "To be crystal clear, I am the Daddy."

The birth was confirmed by Grant's publicist, Carrie Gordon.

Grant's on and off girlfriend Tinglan Hong gave birth to the couple's daughter in 2011. This is the second baby for the couple. No one even knew she was pregnant again.

Grant, 52, a critic of what he sees as press intrusion, told Britain's media ethics inquiry that he and Hong had been harassed by paparazzi when their daughter was born.

He joined Twitter last year as @HackedOffHugh to promote press reform in the wake of Britain's tabloid phone hacking scandal.

Leann Rimes suing her Dentist

 LeAnn Rimes is suing her dentist and claims his work is ruining her career.

The country singer has filed a lawsuit - obtained by TMZ - against Dr Duane C McKay on several occasions over the last three years to get work which has included upper front veneers and crowns which she was told would ease her TMJ-related pain and improve the appearance of her teeth.

However, Rimes states in the legal papers the dental procedures have actually left her in terrible pain and her mouth often bleeds because of the work.

The 30-year-old blonde also claims she has had to undergo nine painful root canal surgeries, bone grafting as well as have a temporary bridge fitted and undergo a course of physical therapy. 

Stopped her from singing

In the lawsuit, Rimes claims she will have a "permanent cosmetic deficiency" as a result of Dr McKay's work and the pain she has endured have stopped her from singing and performing live.

The Crazy Women singer is seeking unspecified damages for physical, emotional and psychiatric injuries and is seeking cash for loss of past and future earnings.

Rimes - who is married to Eddie Cibrian - has often taken to her Twitter account to complain about her teeth troubles.

Last February, she tweeted: "K, coming clean ... I had minor surgery this week and I've been in SO much pain it's not even funny. 

"Nothing major just annoying! Pain pain go away!!!!!! When it's mouth pain and jaw pain it makes your whole head pound! YUCK. (sic)"

Gerald Butler sues over unpaid salary worth $5m

Gerard Butler is suing the producers of Motor City for $5.1m.



The 43-year-old actor has taken legal action against Emmett/Furla

Films, producers of the axed crime drama, which fell through last

summer when financial backing didn't work out, asking for damages due

to not receiving a penny of his promised wages.



The Scottish actor is alleging breach of contract and breach of

implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing because when he signed

up to play the lead in the film about a crook on a mission for

revenge, there was a "pay-or-play" clause.



Exploited Butler's attachment



This would entitle the actor - who claims he turned down other acting

work to appear in the movie - to $4m regardless of whether the film

got made, with up to an extra $2 million in compensation.



The lawsuit reads: "Seeking to capitalise on Butler's hugely popular

persona and worldwide recognition, Defendant solicited Butler's

services as the lead actor in a theatrical motion picture tentatively

entitled Motor City.



"After offering Butler the starring role in the motion picture on a

pay-or-play basis, Defendant then used and exploited Butler's

attachment to the motion picture to pre-sell the distribution rights

and raise financing."



However, attorney Rick Rosenthal, representing defendants Randall

Emmett and George Furla of Emmett/Furla Films, denied the Hollywood

star's claim and said there was no "legal liability".



He commented: "There is no written agreement between the parties and

there were still outstanding deal points that were material to the

deal that were not agreed upon.



"Everybody wishes the movie had gone forward, but they do not have any

legal liability."



Joel Silver was also a producer on the film while Warner Bros were set

to distribute, but neither party is named as a defendant in the suit.

6 year-old girl raped in India

A 6-year-old girl was kidnapped, raped and dumped by a roadside in New

Delhi in the latest of a series of violent sexual attacks that have

shocked the country, officials and news reports said on Saturday.



The girl, from Delhi's satellite city of Gurgaon, was spotted by a

passer-by in the border region of Kapashera on Sunday night.



The crime became public knowledge only after local newspapers and

news-channels reported it on Friday.



"Medical examinations have confirmed rape. The girl is recuperating in

a hospital," Om Prakash, a local police officer said.



"We have launched a manhunt to arrest those responsible for the brutal

act but have few leads as the girl is unable to give a proper

statement since she is traumatised," he added.



The Times of India daily reported that the victim was last seen with a

man in his early 20s and it was possible that she had been raped by

more than one person.



Many rapes have been reported since December's fatal gang rape of a

23-year-old student on a bus in New Delhi.



The assault sparked angry protests and demands for better protection

for women and stricter laws against rape.



Earlier this month, a man reportedly shoved an iron rod into the mouth

of a young girl when she resisted his attempt to rape her.



In another case, a Chinese national was allegedly raped in the capital.



What's wrong with people feeling like they need to rape women out

there it's just disgusting, and who targets a 6 year-old the girl's

life has been shattered.



in South Africa rapist's are targeting granmother's around 60-100

years old. Some people need some serious help, rape suspects should

get a harsh sentence, it's just wrong.

Is The Illuminati real?

Well all over the internet everybody has some sort of version of what the Illuminati is or what their signs are and what do they mean. No one except a member of the Illuminati (that's if it's real) would know who they really are and what those signs mean. 

I am not saying that I approve of satanism, but sometimes people tend to over exagerate things especially the media. Who came up with the story that Jay-Z and Beyonce are part of the Illuminati? I am sure that person doesn't have a life and is no fan of Jay and Beyonce, this person can only be jealous of their success. Jealousy makes people do and say nasty things.

Why would Beyonce be an Illuminati if she is constantly thanking God for her success and she also enjoys being referred to as a Destiny's child don't forget that 'Destiny' is a word that was taken from the Bible by Beyonce's mother.

And to think a lot of people actually believe in these things, one thing don't always believe what you read cause most of it is edited stuff in order to catch the readers eye. No one needs to be scared of the Illuminati especially if your faith is strong because if it is strong no evil spirits can come anywhere near you because you have what is called the 'Holy Ghost Fire' and it burns such things as eveil spirits.

Stop questioning whether the Illuminati is real or not because that dosn't help you with anything in life. Why is it that musicians are mostly linked to the Illuminati? is it because of the signs they make in their music video's? it could be something that is in fashion in the music industry.

Read 'Angels Vs Demons' that book will give you the closest information to what the illuminati is and how they behave and what their plans are. Your faith must be strong in order to overcome such things.

Whether the Illuminati is real it doesn't even matter cause there is nothing you can do about it.

Oscar Pistorius charged with murder for killing girlfriend on Valentines day

The Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius, who made sporting history by becoming the first double amputee sprinter to compete in the Olympics, was charged with murder on Thursday after a woman was fatally shot in his home in Pretoria, according to South African police officials.

From the Magazine

a law school graduate. Ms. Steenkamp and Mr. Pistorius had frequently been seen together at society events and South African media identified her as his girlfriend, giving them the aura of a golden couple beloved by the society pages and photographers.

Mr. Pistorius, 26, won two gold medals and a silver at last year's Paralympic Games in London. In the 2012 Olympics, he reached the 400-meter semifinal and competed in the 4x400 meter relay. Known by the nickname Blade Runner, he races using carbon fiber prosthetic blades.

Early Thursday morning, the police responded to a report of gunshots in the upscale housing complex where Mr. Pistorius lives, said Col. Katlego Mogale, a police spokeswoman. When they arrived, they found paramedics treating a 30-year-old woman for gunshot wounds. The woman was pronounced dead and a 26-year-old man was taken into custody, Colonel Mogale said.

Colonel Mogale would not comment on a possible motive for the shooting.

"A case of murder has been opened," she said before the police said they had formally charged Mr. Pistorius.

Reports from local media said that Mr. Pistorius told the police that the shooting was an accident and that he had mistaken the victim for an intruder.

But speaking to reporters in Pretoria, another police spokeswoman, Brig. Denise Beukes said those reports had taken her by surprise.

She also said that the police had responded previously to complaints of a "domestic nature" at the runner's home but declined to give further details.

South Africa has one of the world's highest rates of violent crime, and break-ins by armed robbers are relatively common. Legal handgun ownership is also common, with some restrictions.

Adele Kirsten of Gun-Free SA, an anti-gun violence organization, said that whatever the motive, the shooting was an avoidable tragedy.

"The idea that you have a gun to protect your family against intruders, the data doesn't bear that out," Ms. Kirsten said. "What it tells us is that having a gun in your home puts you and your family at risk of being shot."

In the Paralympics last September, Mr. Pistorius won individual gold, when he successfully defended his Paralympic 400 meter title. He had lost his 100- and 200-meter titles, but was part of the gold medal-winning 4x100 meter relay team. He came second in the 200 meter race.

After that contest, Mr. Pistorius damaged his reputation among his followers by criticizing the winner, Alan Oliveira of Brazil, raising questions about the length of the winner's blades. Mr. Pistorius later apologized and praised the gold medalist in the 100 meter race, Jonnie Peacock of Britain.

Mr. Pistorius, who was born without fibulas, had both legs amputated below the knee before his first birthday and he battled for many years to compete against able-bodied athletes. In 2008, he qualified for the Beijing Games but was ruled ineligible by track's world governing body because his blades were deemed to give him a competitive advantage.

South African journalists said Mr. Pistorius lived in a walled complex near the South African capital, Pretoria. A reporter outside the compound on Thursday said it was protected by high walls and razor wire.

In a statement, the International Paralympic Committee said it would not comment "until the official police process has concluded" but it offered "its deepest sympathy and condolences to all families involved in this case."

Sarit Tomlinson, Ms. Steenkamp's publicist, told Sky News that the couple had a "healthy, fabulous relationship."

On her Twitter account, Ms. Steenkamp sent a message on Wednesday alluding to Valentine's day on Feb. 14 and saying: "What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow???"

She also mentioned a South African reality TV show and described herself as "SA Model, Cover Girl, Tropika Island of Treasure Celeb Contestant, Law Graduate, Child of God."

Mr. Pistorius's father, Henke Pistorius, told the South African Broadcasting Corporation: "I don't know nothing. It will be extremely obnoxious and rude to speculate. I don't know the facts. If anyone makes a statement, it will be Oscar. He's sad at the moment."

And to think we where once proud of him for being the first Double amputee and for representing South Africa. This is just so sad.

Oscar Pistorius accidentally shoots and kills his girlfriend, mistaking her for a burglar


Oscar Pistorius Double amputee and Paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius has reportedly shot and killed his girlfriend, after mistaking her for a burglar.

South African media are reporting the incident happened at his Silver Lakes home at around 4am on Thursday morning.

Captain Sarah Mcira confirmed to a South African website that Pistorius's girlfriend was shot in the head and arm and died at the scene.

Pistorius, 26, dubbed Blade Runner for the blade-like prosthetics he wears for his double under-knee amputation, is reportedly in police custody.

Pistorius became the first double leg amputee to take part in the Olympics when he entered the men's 400 metre race and was a member of the men's 4 x 400 metre relay team at the 2012 London Games.

He won gold at the 2012 Paralympics in the men's 400 metre race in a Paralympics record time of 46.68 seconds and in the 4x100 relay in a world record time of 41.78 seconds.

He also won silver in the 200 metre race with a world record time of 21.30 seconds in the semifinal.

Pistorius had his legs amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old after he was born with a congenital absence of a fibula in both legs.

Could this be a cover story in order not to be charged with murder?
This is just too sad.


Lady Gaga is unable to walk and cancels some concerts

"I am completely devastated and heartsick. I've been hiding this injury and pain from my staff for a month, praying it would heal, but after last night's performance, I could not walk," the singer said in a statement.

Her condition is called synovitis, an inflammation that sometimes follows a sprain, strain or injury.

Gaga posted a similar message in a series of tweets to her 34 million Twitter followers.

"I will hopefully heal as soon as possible and be at 500 percent again, which is what you deserve," she said.

"The Edge of Glory" singer postponed shows in Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday, in Detroit on Saturday and in Hamilton, Ontario, on Sunday.

Lady Gaga, 26, has been on the road for two years on her "Born This Way Ball" world tour. Her website showed tour dates through March 20. Hopefully she gets better soon.

Rihanna Says she is not a rolemodel, Really?

Rihanna recently said that she is no rolemodel, well I don't agree with her at all.

Being a rolemodel is not something that you just put to the side just because you wanna have a bit of fun (Dating Chris Brown). If you are a celebriy then being a rolemodel comes automatically. The moment a celebrity has a "fan" then that mean that celebrity is a rolemodel because the fans look up to their favourite celebrities.

If a celebrity parties and sleeps around (am not refering to Rihanna) all the time that's what their fans will also do, especially those once who don't have anyone to look up to, so they decide to look up to their favourite celebrities. 

Lets take Rihanna and Chris Brown some of their fans are going to think it's ok to go back to someone who was once abusive towards them and some stories won't hae a happy ending. Women go back to men who once abused them because they think they have changed,hopefully no woman out the will go back to her abuser thinking he has changed and they can be like Chris Brown and Rihanna.

With Chris Brown and Rihanna we only see the outside (the good things) of their relationship. Rihanna is a rolemodel whether she likes it or not,hopefully she can grow to be a better rolemodel.
