Beyonce Posts a united Family Picture With Jay-Z and Blue Ivy on Instagram

Beyonce Knowles dispelled marital problem rumors with her husband, Jay-Z, by posting a family picture featuring the power couple with their daughter, Blue Ivy, on Instagram on July 21. Although she did not write anything along with the picture, the picture alone can be a proof that they are actually fine despite the rumors.

In the not-so-subtle picture, Beyonce and Jay-Z are seen swinging Blue while they hold their 2-year-old daughter's hands together. In the picture, Beyonce wears a pink tee with a plaid shirt tied around her waist and a pair of purple shoes. Jay-Z wears a black tee with black trousers and a pair of white sneakers. Meanwhile, their little daughter wears a flower-printed dress with her hair cutely styled in two buns.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are currently in the middle of their "On The Run" tour. The "Single Ladies" singer had a performance in her hometown in Texas on July 18 before going to Solange Knowles' favorite places in New Orleans on Sunday.

Beyonce has fueled the rumors of marriage problems since late June after she changed the lyrics of her 2006 song "Resentment" during a concert. At that time, the "Drunk in Love" singer sang the lyrics "Been ridin' with you for twelve years" instead of the original version "Been ridin' with you for six years". The incident sparked marital problem rumors between Beyonce and Jay-Z, who have been in a relationship for a total of 12 years.

Joan Rivers take side with Israel, take a swipe at Selena Gomez for her 'Pray for Gaza' Instagram post

Joan Rivers slammed Selena Gomez for posting "Pray for Gaza" message on Instagram. In an interview with a TMZ paparazzo at the Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday, July 24, the comedian went on an epic rant against Israel critics when the reporter mentioned the conflict.

"Selena Gomez, oh, yeah, that college grad," Rivers sneered when the reporter asked her opinion about celebrities who expressed their solidarity with the Palestinians. She continued, "Oh, well, if Selena said that...Yeah, let's see if she can spell Palestinian."

Rivers argued that what Israeli did is a legitimate attempt to defend themselves. She presented an analogy, "Let me just tell you- if New Jersey were firing rockets into New York, we would wipe them out. I am so bored. If we heard they were digging tunnels from New Jersey to New York, we would get rid of Jersey. So I don't want to hear any more, 'Oh, we'll do a partial truce.' The Palestinians can not throw rockets and expect people not to defend themselves."

According to the Palestinian health officials, the Palestinian death toll reached 817 on Thursday, July 24. More than 5,000 civilians have been wounded.

When asked about the civilian casualties in Gaza, Rivers blamed the militants for storing their weapons in civilian area. "If you don't want civilian casualties, then don't put your goddamn things in private homes!" she exclaimed, "I'm sorry, don't you dare put weapons stashes in private homes."

The reporter pointed out that many of those civilians had nowhere safe to go. Rivers shouted, "I don't care! They started it. You're all insane! They started it! What are you all saying, they started it. For months this has been going on. What are you supposed to do? How do I know? I've been over there- that's how I know."

She went on slamming major news media for their portrayal of Israel in the conflict. She said, "The BBC should be ashamed of themselves and CNN should be ashamed of themselves and everybody, stop it already!"

Oops! A Married Chinese man got to know he was genetically female

A Chinese man was left stunned after he went to the doctor experiencing stomach aches and blood in his urine – only to discover that he was a woman on his period.

The married 44-year-old man from Zhejiang province, China, visited his local doctor with his wife in Yongkang where he made the shocking discovery that he had, all along, in fact been a woman.
After a full examination, doctors discovered that he had a full set of female reproductive organs along with a penis - which he said had given him an active sex life with his wife of ten years.
But doctors doubted this.
Doctors found that his genitals were different from other men and he did not possess an Adam’s apple.
A spokesman for First People’s Hospital of Yongkang said that doctors doubted that Mr Chen was a female at first. 
He said: ‘He was wearing men's clothes with short hair, so we didn’t think that he would be a female at the beginning’.
However, Mr Chen said that he had known that something was wrong with him after he found himself constantly feeling fatigued with swollen face and legs.

Even worse, he constantly found blood in his urine.
A CT scan soon revealed that he had a uterus and ovaries.
Meanwhile, a chromosome examination showed that Mr Chen had a pair of XX sex chromosomes, making him genetically female.

Mr Chen was also suffering from Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, a genetic disease that causes the adrenal glands to swell due to a decrease in stress hormone and an increase in male sex hormones.
A lump was later surgically removed from his adrenal glands. 
This type of medical case is extremely rare and doctors have not confirmed whether Mr Chen was a hermaphrodite or intersex. But he did appear to have two types of genitalia.
Doctors said it was too late for Mr Chen to seek medical treatment for his unusual problem as it was only effective for younger people.

Reason why Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab suicide mission in 2009 to blow up a plane failed

The notorious underwear bomber's plot in 2009 to blow up a plane on Christmas Day failed because the explosives became 'degraded' after he wore the same pair of underpants for two weeks, according to a U.S. official.

Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was on a suicide mission when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his underpants as the plane, en route from Amsterdam, approached Detroit.

The bomb however failed to detonate aboard the flight, which was carrying nearly 300 people, but caused a brief fire that caused burns to his groin.

He was sentenced to life without parole in February 2012 after he pleaded guilty to all charges on the second day of his trial the previous October. 

The head of the Transportation Security Administration said this week the bomb failed to detonate because of how long Abdulmutallab had been wearing his underwear.

John Pistole told the Aspen Security Forum: 'The bomber had had the device with him for over two weeks.' 

Mr Pistole was then asked whether the bomb had become 'damp', to which he replied: 'Let's say it was degraded.' 

During his trial, Abdulmutallab said the bomb in his underwear was a 'blessed weapon' to avenge poorly treated Muslims around the world. 

After the bomb failed to detonate, passengers pounced on Abdulmutallab and forced him to the front of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 where he was held until the plane landed minutes later. 

In 2009, months before the attack, he travelled to Yemen to see Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born cleric and one of the best-known al Qaeda figures, according to the government.

He told investigators that his mission was approved after a three-day visit with his mentor. 

Al-Awlaki and the bomb maker were killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011, just days before Abdulmutallab's trial. At the time, President Barack Obama publicly blamed al-Awlaki for the terrorism plot.

Angel Di Maria must be decisive

Angel Di Maria is getting so frustrated that a move to Paris Saint-Germain is taking so long that he has threatened to join Manchester United instead if things don't move along, according to French radio reports.
Real Madrid are after 57 million euros for the Argentine, but PSG's financial fair play penalties make that a little unrealistic for the French giants.
The Sun report the Red Devils have an opportunity to swoop in, but United also have concerns -- not with the transfer fee, but with Di Maria's wages.  But there remains hope that the 26-year-old could lower his 6.5 million-pound demands as he looks kindly on United -- and not so kindly on PSG.
A decision is imminent, says the Express.

Nicki Minaj has responded to the backlash she received after revealing the racy artwork of her upcoming single "Anaconda" on Thursday, July 24. Addressing criticism saying that the picture is unacceptable, the raptress took to Instagram to post photos of some Sports Illustrated models baring their butts for photoshoots.

"Acceptable," she simply captioned those pictures. The "Pills N Potions" hitmaker also posted a Sports Illustrated cover that features Nina Agdal, Lily Aldridge and Chrissy Teigen and said of it, "Angelic. Acceptable. Lol."

Teigen later retweeted Minaj's message and wrote, "I WILL TAKE ACCEPTABLE." Thinking that John Legend's wife was throwing shade at the femcee, some of Minaj's fans blasted the model on social media.

"I hope you choke On John's d**k, you wobble headed b**ch," a Twitter user said. Another user added, "Nicki Minaj gets King magazine covers & @chrissyteigen can only get sports illustrated she a bum hoe."

Teigen laughed off the mean tweets. "I just landed and I have a nicki minaj fans going absolutely bats**t on me.

Which I took as a compliment as I know I have no ass. Now pure entertainment," she added.
