P. Diddy set to retire from Music and focus on acting


P. Diddy's music career is coming to an end. Gracing the cover of the June issue of Cigar Aficionado, the rapper opens up in an accompanying interview with the magazine about his plans to retire from the game to focus on acting.

"I'm going to put out my last album and devote 100 percent of my time to doing films," he tells the publication. "I want to stop at a great place. And a final album is a great place to stop. I want to take a victory lap, to do a world tour and really enjoy it one last time."

Diddy's final album will be "No Way Out II", which he announced in November. He hasn't given it an official release date, but he's promised he'll make the project "the most honest and best that I can. If I can be fearless with it, nothing can stop me."

He also expresses desire to make good music that will solidify his legacy. "When I'm gone, only the songs will survive. I know I'm making music that will live on. I don't go into the studio just to be hot or to hear myself on the radio," he says. "Michael Jackson, Tupac, Biggie - part of them lives on in their music, even though they're not here anymore. That's really deep, man. The only thing like that is religion."

Lionel Richie set to launch own cosmetic line HELLO


Lionel Richie is launching his own cosmetic line inspired by the title of his hit song "Hello". According to TMZ, the "Hello" hitmaker's company filed a trademark for the beauty line called "Hello by Lionel Richie" last week.

The copyright covers everything related to beauty including, cosmetics, face masks, body glitter, bath beads, hair bows, nail polish, etc. However, there's a separate trademark for products like candles and candle accessories.

Back in December, Lionel hinted at collaboration with Adele after their "Hello" mash-up went viral. "We are going to be doing something together," he told E! News at the time. "That's already almost in the works ... I can almost say that we are talking, but right now she has a mission. Her mission is [to] get her record out and go on tour, so until she finishes that cycle, that won't happen just yet. She is committed to that."

He said of the mashup, "Someone said to me, 'Lionel, Adele did 'Hello'' and I said, 'Retirement. I am done' ... Then, all of a sudden I realized this is not 'Hello.' She just used 'Hello.' You have no idea how many people called me on the phone and said, 'Are you going to let her get away with that? She stole 'Hello!' I said I don't own 'Hello.' I own the melody. What it did was it blew everything to the ceiling. If you say Adele and you say Lionel or Lionel and Adele...that's the best pairing you could have!"

Disagreement: Prince's sister Tyka Nelson storms out of family meeting


Prince's sister Tyka Nelson reportedly had a meltdown in the first meeting with the late singer's siblings which took place on Thursday, April 28 in Minnesota. According to TMZ, Tyka stormed out of the meeting over a disagreement about the music icon's fortune, which will be split between all of his remaining siblings.

As previously reported, Minnesota law suggested that all siblings had to share the "Little Red Corvette" hitmaker's wealth, which is $300 million, evenly without considering whether they're half or full-blood siblings. According to sources, Tyka apparently wasn't happy with the decision and she left the meeting, which was also attended by brothers Alfred and Omar, angrily.

Tyka didn't think that they had to split the money equally. She hoped to get more than the rest of the family because she's Prince's only full-blood sister.

According to insiders, the meeting was tense, with Alfred taking two hours to express his displeasure that he was the only sibling left out of Prince's memorial service, which Tyka planned. After the meeting, a rep from the bank that was appointed as the administrator took Alfred on a tour of Prince's home and the area where he died "so he could properly grieve."

Donald Trump accused of raping Teen


Donald Trump is accused of rape by a teen. The woman, who is identified as Katie Johnson, filed a lawsuit in a California court on Tuesday, April 26, accusing the Republican frontrunner and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein of "sexual abuse under threat of harm" and "conspiracy to deprive [her] civil rights."

The woman claimed Trump and Epstein forced "her to engage in various perverted and depraved sex acts by threatening physical harm to [her] and also her family," "making her their sex slave" from June to September 1994, when she was 13. "She was subject to extreme sexual and physical abuse," the documents stated.

Johnson additionally said "she was enticed by promises of money and a modeling career to attend a series of underage sex parties held at the New York City residence" of Epstein "and attended by" Trump. Johnson also detailed some sexual acts that she was allegedly forced to perform on Trump.

She said that both Trump and Epstein threatened that she "and her family would be in mortal danger" if she revealed "any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse that she had suffered as a sex slave." Johnson filed the lawsuit herself without legal representation and is suing for $100 million.

Trump has quickly denied the accusations, telling Radar Online, "The allegations are not only categorically false, but disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media attention or, perhaps, are simply politically motivated. There is absolutely no merit to these allegations. Period."

His former adviser Roger Stone, who remains close with the real-estate tycoon, also defended him, saying, "This lawsuit sounds like BS - plain and simple. It smacks of a political smear job!"

Report: Prescription drugs found in Prince's house at the time of his death


Prescription painkillers were found in Prince's possession when he died in his house, known as Paisley Park, in Minnesota, NBC News reported on Wednesday, April 27. According to the site, The Carver County Sheriff's Department has contacted the Drug Enforcement Administration and has asked them to help with the investigation.

The site said that the DEA's role would be to determine where the drugs came from and what prescriptions the music icon had obtained. Some of the late singer's friends said he took the painkiller Percocet to relieve pain in his hips, which he felt after an accident during his performance.

However, another report from ET claims that the county sheriff has no update as of now and has denied that the DEA was contacted in the investigation. The Midwest Medical Examiner's office has not provided any information about the singer's autopsy, which was performed on Friday. They also remain silent on whether or not drugs played role in the singer's death.

Prince was found unconscious at his home on Thursday, April 21. Prior to his death, the musician underwent a treatment when his private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois on Friday, April 15. Doctors reportedly gave hima "save shot," which is commonly given to counteract the effects of an opiate.

Kim Kardashian clarifies rumors about her marriage, butt size and third child


Kim Kardashian never exactly measured her famous derriere but she is sure that 55 inches is too extravagant. The reality show star recently googled herself and was amazed that people thought her butt could measure that big.

"I recently Googled myself for the first time in a while, and what I saw is pretty crazy," she told her fans in her website's video. She was particularly hooked to the headline which said, "Kim Kardashian Stuffs Her New 55-inch Cakes Into A Pair Of Jeans ...And We Like The Way That Thang Looks." She responded, "My butt is not that big. I would say it's about 12 inches off, but it's definitely not 55 inches."

She was also addressing the rumors about trouble in her marriage to Kanye West. "I've definitely had my fair share of, like, dramatic relationships. Honestly, this is like the most calm and it's like, nope, we're still together. We're happy. There's just nothing to really report on," she gushed.

And regarding the report that she's pregnant with her third child, she said, "My husband might be trying for a third child, but I am not. So I don't know. Maybe that's kind of true? Maybe not really true. If it happened, it happened. But I don't think we're trying, so maybe it's not true."

Is Rihanna pregnant? If it's so, who is the father? As She stops drinking


The Bajan beauty is hit with pregnancy reports as she has stopped smoking and drinking. MediaTakeOut first spread the news, speculating that it could be either Drake or Leonardo DiCaprio's baby.

The site claims, "Rihanna might be pregnant" because "in the past two weeks Rihanna has stopped smoking cigarettes, stopped drinking champagne and no longer allows marijuana to be smoked around her." It further supports its claim, "And here's the shocker. According to one of Rihanna's close friends - Rih did not smoke weed on [4/20]. You know how much of a weed smoker Rihanna is... to not smoke weed on [4/20] must mean something serious is going down."

The news outlet adds, "Obviously we can't confirm Rihanna's pregnant 100% without seeing her medical records. But there is more evidence. Look at her new body shape as seen at her Saturday night concert in Vancouver. Rih appears to have a slight belly bulge."

Gossip Cop, however, has debunked the story. In fact, this is not the first time that MTO has reported that Rihanna's pregnant. The webloid ran a similar story back in 2011 and 2014, but none of them were proven to be true.

Game of Thrones S6: Melisandre reveals her true skin


Melisandre often uses her body to make people succumb to her, but now we've got to see her real self. In the "Game of Thrones" season 6 premiere, [SPOILER ALERT!] the sorceress disrobed and removed her ruby necklace, which is apparently the source of her power. Fans, thus, for the first time saw a very much older Melisandre.

Carice van Houten who plays the character hinted back in season 2 that Melisandre is 400 years old, but showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss only told the actress for certain about her character's age while shooting last season.

"I was really happy when I read that we were going to reveal that this year," Houten tells EW of the shocking reveal. "I don't think a lot of people will see that coming. It makes her immediately more vulnerable, but also more wise and even more mysterious. There's also a vulnerability in her age."

As the necklace seems to be source of her power, people now don't see Melisandre as mighty as she appeared to be. "She has no idea how she does it," van Houten says of Melisandre's magical abilities. "A magic necklace? Wow."

As for fan theory that Melisandre would save Jon Snow, that didn't happen. Well, at least it hasn't happened in the first episode yet, if you still want to keep your hope alive.

In the next episode titled "Home" that will air Sunday, May 1, Bran appears to have visions, some guards sent by King Tommen block Cersei's way, Sansa asks Brienne of Tarth about where Arya is, and Arya herself is fighting The Waif. Jaime is threatening the High Sparrow, Ramsay suggests to his father that they should attack Castle Black, while a fight is about to break in Castle Black.

Game of Thrones is living on through 2017. HBO has officially renewed the hit drama series for a seventh season, a few days before the sixth season premiere on April 24. The renewal announcement does not reveal the number of episodes for season 7.

HBO has also renewed "Veep" and "Silicon Valley", ahead of their fifth and third season premiere respectively this Sunday. The renewals bring "Veep" into its sixth season and "Silicon Valley" into its fourth season.

Lindsay Lohan is interested in Islam, I'm a very spiritual person


Lindsay Lohan is interested in learning Islam. The 29-year-old, who was raised Catholic, sparked speculation that she's converting to Islam when she was spotted carrying a copy of the Koran in NYC last summer.

Now the actress herself opens up about her interest in the religion. "I'm a very spiritual person and I'm really open to learning," she tells The Sun. "America has portrayed holding a Koran in such a different way to what it actually is." She also reveals, "I'm not done reading it. Do you know how long that would take? It takes so long."

She adds, "We all believe in something and at the end of the day it all ties to a god or a spiritual adviser.... We all have a similar belief in whatever it may be personally. My sister is Buddhist but she is still interested in learning other things from me. It's good to be open-minded."

Her rep doesn't say if Lohan is converting to Islam, but states, "Lindsay has always been very spiritual and is open to exploring all religions and beliefs. She is simply educating herself on other peoples beliefs."

Jennifer Aniston to be named PEOPLE's MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN 2016


Jennifer Aniston will be named PEOPLE magazine's Most Beautiful Woman 2016, according to Gossip Cop. A publishing source tells the site that the "We're the Millers" actress has been tapped to get the honor for the second time.

The wife of Justin Theroux will appear on the magazine's Most Beautiful Woman cover, which is tied to the release of her upcoming comedy "Mother's Day", on April 29. Her co-stars in the movie like Kate Hudson and Julia Roberts had been previously awarded with the honor. The former held the Most Beautiful Woman title in 2008 while the latter was chosen for the recognition in 1991, 2000, 2005 and 2010.

Other female celebrities who will be included in this year's Most Beautiful Woman issue are Carrie Underwood, Christina Milian, Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara, Keke Palmer and Selena Gomez.

Jennifer turns out to be a perfect choice to get the honor as she is not only beautiful from the outside and inside, but also very inspiring. Her "Friends" co-star Aisha Tyler recently revealed that Jennifer once gave her empowering advice, helping her deal with career frustration.

"When I was on 'Friends', I was up for this really big movie. I didn't get it and was so heartbroken. I got to work and was bummed. I was in the kitchen talking to Jennifer Aniston, and she said, 'Look, that's never going to go away. No matter where you are in your career. You're always going to lose stuff to other people. You're always going to get your heart broken. So you need to just find a way to have it not be that important,' " she told TIME.

Fan sue Kanye West over 'The Life of Pablo'

Kanye West upset a lot of his fans when he announced that his new album, "The Life of Pablo", would forever be a Tidal exclusive. He made them even more upset when he finally dropped the record on other streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music.

One of those angry fans is now suing West and Tidal. The fan named Justin Baker-Rhett filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco on Monday, April 18, claiming that the rapper tricked him and millions of other fans into signing up for the Jay-Z-owned streaming service which costs $9.99 a month.

In his suit, Rhett points out that after releasing "Pablo" on Tidal, West announced on Twitter that he would never sell or stream the project on other retailers or services. Thanks to that, Tidal's subscriptions reportedly doubled from one million users to 2.5 million. Another report said the album was streamed over 250 million times in its first 10 days of release.

"Mr. West's promise of exclusivity also had a grave impact on consumer privacy," the lawsuit states, noting that users' credit card information, music preferences and other personal information have been collected. The suit goes on claiming that the value of all the personal information from subscribers could amount to $84 million for Tidal.

"We fully support the right of artists to express themselves freely and creatively, however creative freedom is not a license to mislead the public," Rhett's attorney Jay Edelson wrote in a statement. "We believe that we will be able to prove to a jury that Mr. West and Tidal tricked millions of people into subscribing to their services and that they will ultimately be held accountable for what they did."

Representatives for West and Tidal haven't responded to the lawsuit yet.

Justin Bieber plans to spoil Kourtney Kardashian with birthday gift


Justin Bieber doesn't seem like he has done anything for Kourtney Kardashian on her birthday. However, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about the mother of three, who turned 37 on Monday, April 18.

The Canadian singer, who's been touring North America in support of his latest album "Purpose", has reportedly sent Kourtney a secret happy birthday message. A source tells HollywoodLife.com that he has also planned something special for the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star if she agrees to meet him in New York next month.

"Justin didn't forget about Kourtney's birthday. He sent her a sweet Happy Birthday message, along with an open invitation to come stay with him for the weekend in any city where he's performing," the source says.

"He said he wants to spoil her to the max and treat her like a queen as a belated birthday gift," the source continues. "He wouldn't mind doing something extravagant with Kourtney when he's in New York for his May shows in Brooklyn."

Justin and Kourtney have been rumored to be in a relationship for quite some time now with the latest report claiming they recently hooked up in Los Angeles. However, he didn't publicly wish (or hasn't wished) the oldest Kardashian sister a happy birthday on her special day.

DNA points to body of homeless man found In restaurant as Bob Marley


Recently, the body of an elderly homeless man was discovered in a discarded cardboard box behind the back of a fast food joint in downtown Kingston, Jamaica. Coroners were unable to immediately identify the man who had no identification on him. The only items found in the elderly man’s possession were a faded photograph of the Houses of Parliament in London, a dented tin can containing a small quantity of marijuana and a battered old guitar.
With no leads to go on, the authorities turned to Jamaica’s National DNA Database. When the results came back from the lab, the coroners could not believe their eyes. “I thought it must be a joke,” Jacob Chambers, the chief coroner told Now 8 News. “My colleague came running into my office waving a piece of paper in the air. ‘You’re not going to believe this’, he shouted. I told him to calm down and explain what all the excitement was about. When he told me, I couldn’t believe it.”

The results of the DNA test revealed that the old man police had discovered behind the fast food restaurant was none other than reggae superstar Bob Marley. “I stared at the results wide-eyed,” Chamber admits
“My jaw dropped to the floor. This had to be a mistake.” It had always been presumed Bob Marley had died from cancer in 1981 as he made his way back to Jamaica by plane from Germany. But if that was the case, why was his elderly body lying on a slab in a downtown Jamaican morgue?
Chambers could come up with only one explanation: “Naturally I concluded somebody was playing a joke on us, and told my assistant to label the body as ‘persons unknown’. This would mean he could be cremated by authorities and the death filed as that of an unknown male in his late 60s to early 70s. But it was then that things got really weird.”

That afternoon, the coroners office was visited by men in sunglasses. They were wearing dark suits and called themselves ‘government officials’. They confirm that the body was indeed the late reggae legend, and that Marley’s death had been faked back in 1981 on the request of the star who had grown tired of all the attention he was getting and just wanted to live the quiet life of a street busker in Jamaica.
The Jamaican government admitted going along with Marley’s plan, on the understanding they would receive the royalties from his most successful album, Exodus.

Chambers claims the government officials remove the body of Marley, along with the DNA results and the coroners report of death. They then left, warning Chambers and his staff to keep quiet about the matters are they would face – in Chambers words – “serious consequences.”
“I decided I could not stay silent about this, despite having no evidence because the government took it all away to a secret location somewhere,” said a defiant Chambers. “Bob Marley did not die in 1981, and I’m damned if I’m going to keep that a secret just because some shady officials told me to. The truth must be heard, even if that means the government losing the royalty rights to Exodus, which is a fantastic album by the way.”

Through Jamaica’s National DNA Database, authorities were able to identify the mystery individual. Upon initial discovery, the man had no I.D. He possessed a small amount of marijuana, a battered guitar, and a faded photo of what appears to be the Houses of Parliament in London.
When DNA results returned a positive ID for none other than Bob Marley, the staff at the coroner’s office were stunned. Chief coroner Jacob Chambers made the following statement:
“I thought it must be a joke. My colleague came running into my office waving a piece of paper in the air. ‘You’re not going to believe this’, he shouted. I told him to calm down and explain what all the excitement was about. When he told me, I couldn’t believe it.”
Bob Marley was presumed dead in 1981 after supposedly suffering from cancer. He was making his way back to Jamaica from Germany on a plane.
With Marley’s death already established, naturally Chambers thought there must be some mischief at play here.
“Naturally I concluded somebody was playing a joke on us, and told my assistant to label the body as ‘persons unknown’. This would mean he could be cremated by authorities and the death filed as that of an unknown male in his late 60s to early 70s. But it was then that things got really weird.”
Chambers stated that his office was greeted with dark suited men in sunglasses later that afternoon. They identified themselves as government officials and went on to confirm that indeed, the reggae legend was laying right there before them.
They went on to explain that apparently Marley faked his own death as he was tired of the attention and publicity. He instead sought to live a simple life as a street musician, busking for change.
In exchange for arranging the fake death, the Jamaican government would receive royalties from Marley’s popular album, Exodus.
According to Chambers, he was sternly warned by the government officials to stay absolutely quiet about the matter, or else there would be consequences to face. The men then removed Marleys body from Chambers office.
So why would Chambers come forward and risk having “consequences” leveled against him? Chambers made the following statement regarding his decision to roll the dice and let the people know the truth:
“I decided I could not stay silent about this, despite having no evidence because the government took it all away to a secret location somewhere. Bob Marley did not die in 1981, and I’m damned if I’m going to keep that a secret just because some shady officials told me to. The truth must be heard, even if that means the government losing the royalty rights to Exodus, which is a fantastic album by the way.”
An incredibly fascinating story and one that is bound to raise more questions. On a side note, it’d be interesting to find out if anyone had any street recordings from the real life Bob Marley busker!

Get ready for the biggest battle on Game of Thrones: war between the living and the dead


If you think you have seen the biggest battle on "Game of Thrones", you should think again. While previous seasons of the show have pitted the Lannisters, Boltons, Martells and Starks against one another, the upcoming sixth season will see a war between the living and the dead.

"The dead are coming," so Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) warns in the latest trailer for the new installment. Speaking to IGN, some stars of the hit series tease how the conflict will be depicted on the show.

"This is a big thing," says Sophie Turner. "It's always been battles between the houses and from across the Narrow Sea. This is one of those battles that is kind of unstoppable. It's more ominous than anything. It's looming, and you really get a sense that the end is nigh."

But Tommen Baratheon, the King of Westeros, isn't even aware of the looming threat. "Tommen don't even know what's going on," says Dean-Charles Chapman who plays the character with a laugh. "He only knows that he's got to feed Ser Pounce. It's worrying. The living is causing chaos as it is, and now the dead are doing it? You can't win."

Comparing the White Walkers threat to climate change in real life, Cunningham says, "The Night's King is coming. You ain't gonna kill him with a bow and arrow. We need to do something, rapidly, but they've all got their heads up their asses with their own little squabbles."

Of whom Davos delivers the bad news to in the trailer, Cunningham says, "Who I'm saying that to is a fabulous young actress who you haven't met yet, who's about to come in, who's Lyanna Mormont. He's explaining the situation to her because certain other individuals are making a mess of their parlay. He's very good at lateral thinking and explaining the situation, as we know."

Michael McElhatton and Iwan Rheon also dish on how their characters Roose and Ramsay Bolton will react to the approaching White Walkers. "Without a doubt they know," says McElhatton. Rheon adds, "It must be [a concern], but it's not the immediate threat because it seems further away to them than the other people -- practically everyone in Westeros -- who wants to get rid of them. They've got a lot more battles to fight before the White Walkers come."

Maisie Williams also realizes that this threat is bigger than anyone's issue, including that of her character Arya who is now blind. "To me, it means that everyone's little personal issues are absolutely meaningless, and Arya's own little selfish storyline means nothing in the overall story of Game of Thrones, and it's true, we have to be turning our weapons north. But you think anyone's going to before it's too late?" she rhetorically asks.

Arya's brother Bran, who spent the last season training off screen, may have a vision of the battle against the White Walker. Isaac Hempstead-Wright shares, "For Bran, I think it's a real wake up call. He's north, he's up where the dead are, and he could potentially be the key to making the dead victorious or defeating them. There's not much time."

But "Bran has really got to get his act together, and he's still got many teenage, hubristic tendencies," Hempstead-Wright adds. "He's still making some silly decisions with his powers. He's got to learn quickly, and he's got to shoulder a tremendous amount of responsibility with these powers which are going to be crucial, I feel like. For Bran, 'the dead are coming' is a real 'you need to step up to the plate."

Arnold Schwarzenegger spotted training Son Joseph Baena in the gym


It seems like Arnold Schwarzenegger wants his doppelganger son Joseph Baena to be as though as him. The "Terminator Genisys" actor took the 18-year-old boy to the gym to do some heavy exercise.

Arnold was spotted at Gold's Gym in Venice, California on April 16, training his son by asking him to pump iron. In some photos obtained by TMZ, the 68-year-old actor was seen standing behind his son wearing a gray T-shirt and blue pants as he encouraged Joseph to keep working out. Meanwhile, Joseph was seen stretching his back on a board as he lifted a pair of dumbbells. The brown-haired boy rocked a red T-shirt complete with several bands on his wrist.

The outing came after the boy was spotted shopping in Malibu, California on April 7, when some photographers noticed that he looked very much like his father. Though Arnold and Joseph are always in contact, the two had never been pictured together before since Joseph was a little boy.

Report: Kourtney Kardashian and Justin Bieber are hooking up


Things between Kourtney Kardashian and Justin Bieber seem to be heating up again. While people assume that the pair's fling is over, multiple sources tell PEOPLE that the two are still having fun together.

According to the site, the oldest sister of the Kardashian clan and the "What do You Mean" singer have been "hooking up on and off for a few months now." So, the pair probably still saw each other recently.

The site's source claims that the two still met each other and in their recent encounter, Kourtney even brought her children. "They have hooked up a few times, including recently. It happens in L.A.," the source shares. "He has met her kids, but they don't hook up around the kids. It's on nights when she has help and is able to go out."

The source goes on saying that Justin likes to spend his time with Kourtney because she is an easygoing woman. "Kourtney is great. Justin thinks it's cool that she is older and hot. She isn't clingy and has her own life," the source continues. "There are no bad consequences for Justin to hook up with her. She is very easygoing and just makes it fun for him to be around her."

Khloe Kardashian ready to divorce Lamar Odom Soon


It seems like Khloe Kardashian is ready to leave her marriage behind and move on. According to Us Weekly, the "Kocktails with Khloe" host will file for divorce the second time from her estranged husband Lamar Odom very soon.

"Lamar is doing great. He hasn't been drinking and is doing well. But Khloe is going to file for divorce. She wants to leave him now," a source close to the two told the site, adding that the divorce's "going to happen soon." The source continued, "Lamar loves her and wants to be with her. But he also wants to lead a normal life too."

Meanwhile, another source suggested that Khloe's decision to pick up her divorce proceedings came after she heard reports that Lamar was caught drinking with his friends in a bar late last month. "She doesn't agree with some of Lamar's choices in the past few weeks," the source said. "She plans on refiling for divorce soon. She and Lamar are just figuring out the finances first."

Now that his marriage is on a brink of divorce, Lamar finally addressed the rumors that he's sliding back into his partying habit again. "I mean, it gets tough, especially if so much gets speculated. Only a few people know the truth, and I just keep that close to my heart," Lamar told Entertainment Tonight while attending Kobe Bryant's final NBA game at the Staples Center on Wednesday, April 13.

"We did talk, you know, everything is [up for] discussion," he said of Khloe. "We talk about anything. We've been through a lot. It won't ever stop."

Eleven Achievement of Cristiano Ronaldo in Champions League


After his hat-trick in Real Madrid's 3-0 win against Wolfsburg, the man who single-handedly saved Los Blancos' Champions League campaign had a message for his critics.
“Considering this has been a 'bad' season for me it has not been that bad," Cristiano told the people daft enough to continue doubting him. "People can criticise me, but I just keep in going and the numbers are there for all to see."
Indeed they are. With that in mind, here are the 11 numbers we feel best illustrate the absurdity of Ronaldo's Champions League brilliance…

11. Ronaldo and Messi were neck-and neck in career Champions League goals for ages, but Cristiano's performance this season means he is now almost certain to be the first player to score 100 goals in the competition. He is now on 93, with Messi back on 83.

10. During his career, Cristiano has now 15 goals in Champions League quarter-finals alone (and yes, that is more than anyone else).

9. His 11 minute hat-trick against Malmo in the group stages was the third fastest hat-trick in Champions League history. Only Mike Newell (nine minutes, for Blackburn vs Rosenborg in 1995) and Bafatembi Gomis (seven minutes, for Lyon vs Dinamo Zagreb in 2011) have bagged the matchball in quicker time.

8. Cristiano's personal goal tally this season (16) is double that of any other player. Robert Lewandowski is in second place, with eight. FYI, Lionel Messi is fifth on the list, with six.

7. Hat-tricks by Cristiano in this season's Champions League: three. Hat-tricks by every other player in this season's Champions League combined: three.

6. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 16 goals in 10 Champions League games this season.

5. Cristiano is the only player to score 15 or more goals in two different Champions League seasons (this season and 2013/14, when he scored 17 - the record).

4. It's not just goals either. In terms of Champions League 'goal involvements' (goals+assists), he is miles ahead of everyone else. The top three since since 2012/13: Cristiano Ronaldo (65), Lionel Messi (40), Robert Lewandowski (37).

3. Cristiano has scored 42 Champions League goals since September 2013. That's more than Arsenal's total in the same period.

2. Cristiano has now scored 34 goals in 36 Champions League knockout matches for Real Madrid.

1. Cristiano has now scored against 31 different clubs in the Champions League.

Imam perform apparent exorcism on a girl at the side of the road


The young girl, who is 'being cleansed' in the ceremony, is snarling as a man - identified as an imam -performs the ritual, which is intended to drive out evil spirits.

The man is chanting over the girl as he sits cross-legged, dressed in white.
She is wearing a full black veil with only her eyes visible, and reacts violently to his words, which are a mixture of French and other languages.
As well as rocking back and forth and fighting his hold on her arms, she is making snarling sounds beneath her veil.
In the background, some casually dressed young men watch as the drama unfolds, before the video abruptly ends.

According to reports, the subject was one of 20 schoolgirls from Jean Lafosse College in St Louis on the French Indian Ocean island of Réunion who had been suffering from fits and screaming episodes.
The exorcism was reportedly performed by someone named Imam Raquy in February 2016 on the island, which has a Christian majority.
It's reportedly not clear whether the ceremony, which some have reported is Muslim, was successful.
