Kanye West pokes fun at himself in meme of Kim Kardashian's infamous swimsuit selfie

He's usually snapped looking tight-lipped and less than cheerful.
But Kanye West proved he has a sense of humour after all, when he commented on a fan's meme featuring the rapper and his new wife Kim Kardashian on Saturday. 
The 36-year-old wrote 'Haha' above the image, which shows Kim's infamous swimsuit selfie and a superimposed snap of himself running towards his voluptuous wife.
The amusing mock-up made reference to Kanye's excited comment on Kim's photo when she first posted it back in October 2013, which read: 'HEADING HOME NOW!'
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star posted the sexy snap just four months after giving birth to the couple's first child, North.
And it's clear that Kanye's desire for his longtime love hasn't diminished since he first commented on the photograph, with the pair tying the knot in a lavish ceremony in Italy on May 24.
In fact, the musician has been looking much more cheerful than usual since the big day, spotted smiling and laughing in public on more than one occasion.

A statement on the Portuguese FA's official website said that Ronaldo and Raul Meireles are training with their teammates.
Pepe and Beto, meanwhile, are working on their leg injuries away from the group.

The Pope Just Did Something That No Other Pope in History Has Done

The news: For the first time in history on Sunday, Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran were heard at the Vatican. The prayers were part of a somewhat unusual summit between leaders of Israel and Palestine at the Vatican to try to bring peace to the embattled area.
Pope Francis invited Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas to pray together in what was largely a symbolic gesture to foster dialogue. It will not likely have any immediate or tangible effect. 
Francis has specifically turned his attention to the Middle East recently after tensions came to a boil after a new Palestinian government was formed with the backing of the Islamist group Hamas and Israel's announcement of plans to build 3,200 new settler homes. On Saturday, in preparation for the summit, the pope tweeted: Prayer is all-powerful. Let us use it to bring peace to the Middle East and peace to the world.

Followed on Sunday by: I ask all people of good will to join us today in praying for peace in the Middle East.  
Realistic expectations: Though Francis has been known for his forward thinking since his papacy began last March, he and the Vatican are very aware of the complexities of the Israel-Palestine conflict and have set their expectations accordingly. 
"Nobody is fooling themselves that peace will break out in the Holy Land," Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the head of the Franciscan Order in the Middle East who is organising the historic event in the Vatican Gardens, told AFP. "But this time to stop and breathe has been absent for some time. The pope wants to look beyond, upwards. Not everything is decided by politics."
Francis himself noted that it would be "crazy" to expect a Vatican summit to solve the conflict, but added that praying together might help in some way. The Vatican reportedly called the meeting as an "invocation for peace," stressing that it will not be an "inter-religious prayer," which could pose problems for the Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities taking part.
A "cool" pope: Unrestrained by politics and recent historical precedent, Pope Francis has been making a name for himself as an active pontiff in the Vatican. From his "who am I to judge" line in July 2013 regarding gay priests in the Church, to his decision not to live in the extravagant and ornate Apostolic Palace, Francis has been forward thinking and utilizing the Vatican's massive voice and power positively. 
Regarding the Middle East, Sunday's summit is just another step in his efforts to bring some peace to the area. In late May, Francis made his first trip to the Holy Land and again made history when he prayed at the Israeli West Bank barrier.
"For decades the Middle East has known the tragic consequences of a protracted conflict which has inflicted many wounds so difficult to heal," Francis reportedly said at the time. "Even in the absence of violence, the climate of instability and a lack of mutual understanding have produced insecurity, the violation of rights, isolation and the flight of entire communities, conflicts, shortages and sufferings of every sort."

Lukaku injured in late Belgium win

Star striker Romelu Lukaku was injured late on as Belgium clinched a 1-0 victory over Tunisia in their final warm-up game for the World Cup on Saturday.
Belgian coach Marc Wilmots kept Lukaku on the bench until the 61st minute after the striker had already proven his form with four goals in the last two games, but the forward limped off just before full-time after sustaining an ankle injury.
"For now it looks like a severe sprain, but of course there will be further tests tomorrow," Wilmots said. "As it looks now, Romelu will be out for three or four days. Let's hope it stays that way."
The match was interrupted for around 40 minutes after a severe hail storm forced players off the field in the first half, while Tunisia were reduced to 10 men after 63 minutes when Issam Jemaa was sent off for a second yellow card for grabbing Vincent Kompany's shirt.
Belgium dominated but lacked the cutting edge and had only a few shots at goal until Dries Mertens slotted home in the 89th minute after being set up by Nacer Chadli's pass.
Belgium play Russia, South Korea and Algeria in Group H.
