Pictures of Supermodel Alek Wek's emotional visit to refugee camp in her South Sudan hometown

I saw this very torching piece on Mailonline and I was torched, I wanted to share it with the whole world. This lady is so beautiful inside out. Even after so many years and moving on, she still still came to associate with her refugees in her country. What strikes me is the way she looks at home and so like one of them. The way she's dressed is so down to earth that you'll almost think she's one of them. 

Her life now involves pacing the catwalks of London, New York, Paris and Milan, wearing couture clothes costing hundreds and thousands of pounds.
But South Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek has proved she is not going to forget her humble and often traumatic beginnings in a hurry.The former North African refugee has made an emotional return to her homeland, her first since 2005, to mark the first anniversary of the country's independence.And the trip brought back plenty of painful memories.

Rihanna goes about in nothing but bikini top and crochet skirt!

This girl is really bold sha. I mean, who goes about with a bra in a crowded market place without fear of being lynched! I hope she never gets to do this in Yaba market (lol, I know she's got no business there sha) she might not be too happy with what all those Ibo traders will do to her.

Pictures of Colorado Cinema Shooter, James Holmes' first appearance in court

Holmes dyed his hair to appear like Batman's nemesis The Joker

 This guy is just delusional! can you believe him, he dyed his hair bright orange to look like the joker (Batman nemesis  in the movie). Fortunately, Prosecutors are considering death penalty but will consult with the victims' family members while legal experts speculate that the Mugshot will likely pursue insanity defence. How convenient! For once, I agree with the idea, that says 'suffer not the witch to live!'

4 JSS 3 students sell their class mate for rituals in Lagos?

I Just got this from a friend and decided to share it here. I don't know how true it s. 

Not the picture of the students or the victim

Thursday 19th July, 2012 was another horrifying day in Lagos.   Lion Building Police Station area  is where I parked my car today  and where I gathered this story that has kept me in awe. I am still in shock of this news. As unreal as it sounds, its true because I validated  the story.

Four JSS3 students of a nearby secondary school chattered a “keke marwa” to Ajah. They told the driver to wait for them, while one of them stayed in the vehicle and the other three went into a nearby house. Shortly afterwards, two of then came out and when the driver queried, he was told that the fourth guy is with their teacher, and that  he is the teacher’s favourite. As they drove off the driver noticed that they were looking into a black nylon bag that they just brought with them from the teacher’s place. He then noticed that it was full of money. When he probed, they said it was for them to deliver  an errand.

When does photoshoot stop being SEXY and just become plain TACKY

I think these photoshoots by Jodie Marsh and Kirk Norcross are the tackiest pictures I ever came across. Meanwhile, gist has it that Jodie said she's keeping sex from Kirk until he promises her that he loves her, wants to marry and have babies with her. Although, Kirk tweeted that they aren't dating oh. 'Just for the record guys i am single, you are allowed to kiss a girl and still be mate ‪(sic) #Jeeeez.'
