Diego Costa defends Premier League referees

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has defended Premier League referees but insists he will not change his aggressive style of play.

The Brazilian-born Spain striker was suspended for three matches for treading on Liverpool's Emre Can in the Capital One Cup semi-final.

Blues manager Jose Mourinho was incensed to lose his player to retrospective video evidence and insists his club are victims of a "campaign" by officials and the media.

But Costa has leapt to the defense of match officials insisting they do a good job in difficult circumstances.

"I think the referees should think about how many times I am hit or kicked before I get angry about it," he told The Guardian.

"But referees here in England are good enough and professional, and they also understand well and realise what happens out on the pitch. They take that into account. I've been a target for defenders for a long time, and I am used to getting kicked by them, to get knocked by them.

"I also fight and tackle, even if some defenders complain at the slightest contact. To me, you draw a line under all that as soon as the game is over. We shake hands and it is all left on the field."

Jackie Chan's son Jaycee Chan released from jail after completing 6 month sentence on drug charge

Jaycee is expected to hold a press conference on Saturday along with his mother Lin Feng-jiao. He will "formally apologize" for his wrongdoing.

In a photo obtained by South China Morning Post, Jaycee could be seen sitting in a car with his face covered by his black hoodie. According to the site, the 32-year-old actor's car was escorted by two police cars out of the Dongcheng district detention centre. Jaycee's agency said he's released at around 3:00 A.M.

Jaycee, who was detained at his home in Beijing along with Taiwanese actor Kai Ko in August 2014, was sentenced to six months in jail and fined 2,000 yuan back in January. He pleaded guilty to a charge of providing a shelter for others to use drugs. At that time, he told the court that he didn't know what police wanted when they came to his house.

"I didn't know what [police] wanted. I just gave them information and I confessed because I didn't know how to deal with the marijuana, and I just wanted to hand over [marijuana] to the country," Jaycee said, before adding, "I broke the law and I should be punished. However, even if I get due punishment, it doesn't necessarily mean I will get forgiveness."

Jackie said in December that he felt ashamed after his son was indicted on drug charge. "I hope that in the future, [my son] could become an anti-drug spokesman and tell his experiences to young people," said the "Rush Hour 3" actor, before adding that he never used his connection to get his son out.

Chelsea Handler go topless on Twitter

Chelsea Handler has moved to Twitter after her NSFW photos were repeatedly deleted by Instagram. On Thursday, February 12, the former "Chelsea Lately" host shared a photo of her wearing nothing but a pair of black pants.

Chelsea showed the side view of her breast while enjoying a beautiful city view from a balcony in the morning. The "Are You There, Chelsea?" star wrote alongside the racy snap, "Thanks for having me, twitter."
In a recent interview with Elle Magazine, Chelsea discussed her recent topless photo taken in Israel. When asked what inspired her to take the snap, she replied, "I just thought it was important to speak up for Israel and Palestine, and show that I think they can find peace. On top of a camel. That's what I really want to accomplish with these specials that I'm doing."
When asked if she worried about what people might think with her topless photos, Chelsea said, "I never worry about that. I just try to not overthink anything. Now I'm just in a war with Instagram trying to keep my topless photos on it. Because I don't understand why nipples are nudity. Who cares? Men can show their nipples, but if we have breasts we can't show them?"

"And so if you're flat-chested are you allowed to show your nipples? Is that better? And can I show one nipple, but not two? I don't even understand," she continued, "Once somebody tells me I can't do something I have to figure out how to do it."

"Yeah, I've had a bunch already. I've done a series of them and I'll continue to do them," the 39-year-old comedian said when asked if she would post more topless shots in the future, "And just find a creative way to cover up my private parts. It's not a vagina. Yes, no one should show their vagina. But nipples? It's ridiculous. You obviously can't publish underage girls' photo, but I'm in charge of what I want to do with my own body. People are following me because they want to see pictures of me. So why is Instagram editing them?"
