Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has won the CAF African Footballer of the Year award for the third consecutive year.
The 30-year-old claimed the title after beating Galatasaray forward
Didier Drogba and Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel in a ceremony in Lagos,
Nigeria on Thursday.
The award, which is handed out by the Confederation of African Football
(CAF), is decided by a poll of African national team coaches and
technical directors.
The news: Hail Satan! The New York City-based Satanic Temple has unveiled their design for the monument that worshippers of the Dark One everywhere hope will soon grace the Oklahoma Statehouse.
It's got everything your Lucifer devotee could want. It's a
7-foot-tall stone carving of Baphomet, a prominent demonic member of the
hierarchy of hell, with a gigantic pentagram. The unholy throne is
flanked on either side by two smiling children, whose parents presumably
haven't told them not to speak with strange goat-headed monstrosities
from the underworld. And the finished design will include quotes from
Lord Byron and William Blake.
However, it will not be covered in dogs' blood or be the site of any virgin sacrifices.
"The monument has been designed to reflect the views of Satanists in
Oklahoma City and beyond. The statue

It's revealed in a new interview that Tupac Shakur was eying a role in "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" before he died. Death Row Records' former Chief Engineer Rick Clifford spilled to 2Pac-Forum that the late rapper auditioned for Jedi.
"It's sad because 'Pac found out that I worked for Brian Austin Green, who was on '90210',
then he found out I was in some movies. So we always talked about his
film career and stuff," Clifford said. "He was telling me that he was
supposed to read for George Lucas and them."
"They wanted him to be a Jedi. Yes, I'm serious - Samuel L. [Jackson]
got Tupac's part," Clifford went on, before recalling a conversation
with the MC, "Yeah, he called me 'Old Man, keep your fingers crossed, I
got three movies coming up. One of them I gotta read for George Lucas.' "
It's unclear when Shakur did the audition,
but "The Phantom Menace" wasn't released until 1999 but started its
filming around June 1997, less than a year after the rapper passed away
on September 13, 1996 after he was shot multiple times in a drive-by
shooting. Samuel L. Jackson eventually played Mace Windu, a Jedi Master of the High Council,
in the fourth "Star Wars" movie. Shakur once shared screen with Jackson
in 1992's crime drama "Juice". His last movie, "Gang Related", was
released in 1997.
A Broadway musical inspired by
his work has been in the works. Titled after one of his songs, "Holler
If Ya Hear Me", it is set to premiere at the Palace Theater on May 26.
His songs like "Me Against the World", "California Love", and "Keep Ya
Head Up" will be featured in the $8 million-budgeted play along with the
title track.
Director Kenny Leon says the stage musical won't be biopic but will
explore an anti-violence, "unconditional love story" featuring the MC's
music. Producer explains it will tell the story of "friendship, family,
revenge, change and hope" as people struggle against challenges in their
lives. Shakur's mother is involved in the production.
His family is also supporting an official biopic, "Tupac", which is expected to start production in Atlanta in February. No cast has been announced, but the late rapper was previously portrayed by Anthony Mackie in "Notorious", a movie released in 2009 about another late rap icon Notorious B.I.G..
Customs and Border Protection officers foiled a smuggling attempt at
the U.S.-Mexico border when they discovered a woman contorted and hidden
inside a suitcase.
Officials released a
photo this week showing the woman tucked into a ball and laying inside
the luggage in the back of a vehicle.
The woman, a Thai
national named Pornkamol Mongkolsermsak, was charged with re-entry after
deportation, CBP spokesman Victor Brabble said.
She was discovered on
December 30, when inspectors at the border referred the driver of a
Honda SUV for a secondary inspection, CBP said in a statement.
When officers inspected
the vehicle, they opened up the suitcase and found the 48-year-old woman
hidden underneath some clothing.
Authorities did not release the name of the 56-year-old Phoenix man who was driving the SUV.
The case has been turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, CBP said.
Disgusted Venezuelans berated the government on social media and in
street protests Wednesday, while Maduro summoned the country’s governors
and big-city mayors to an emergency security meeting in this capital
city.
“This is a blow to all of us,” he said on state television.
“I share the pain, sadness and condolences that the nation feels,” he
added, warning that authorities would deal with the killers with “an
iron hand.”
Security, like almost everything else in Venezuela, is
heavily politicized. Although the government says crime is falling, an
independent group, the Venezuelan Violence Observatory, said killings
rose to 24,763 last year, leaving the oil-rich nation (population 30
million) with one of the world’s highest homicide rates.

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has said manager Jose Mourinho
instills fear in the dressing room in order to get the best out of the
club's star players.
Mikel said some of the new stars at Stamford Bridge, including Willian
and Eden Hazard, had not fully understood the Chelsea ethos -- but
stressed that Mourinho did not expect anything less than the best and
players were starting to realise the pressures of playing for Chelsea.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed he will go the 2013 Ballon d’Or award ceremony on Jan. 13.

A week after James Avery's passing, his co-star on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" Will Smith broke silence on Avery's death. The star of "The Pursuit of Happyness" took to Facebook on Sunday, January 5 to pay tribute to Avery and share a photo of him and Avery which was taken the last time they were together.
"Some of my greatest lessons in acting, living and being a respectable human being
came through James Avery. Every young man needs an Uncle Phil. Rest in
Peace," Smith wrote. In addition to Smith and Avery, other "Fresh Prince" cast members Tatyana Ali,
Karyn Parsons and Alfonso Ribeiro make appearance in the snap. "This
photo was the last time we were together," Smith wrote. According to
Huffington Post, it was taken at a luncheon for Parsons' charity Sweet
Blackberry in 2011.
Jay-Z made a boy's dream come true when he brought his "Magna Carter" tour to Greensboro, North
Carolina over the weekend. The rapper invited a 12-year-old boy to come
on the stage and let him rap his verses in front of the crowd that
packed the stadium.
The lucky kid named Justin got the opportunity after Jay-Z spotted him
in the crowd holding up a sign that read, "Can I rap for you?" Jay-Z
then asked Justin to join him and handed him the mic. The boy was
visibly nervous before he rapped "Clique".
In the middle of the a capella performance, Jay-Z told Justin to skip
"the drug dealing part" of the song. "Go back to the numbers," he said. Beyonce Knowles' husband was all smiles as he stood next to the boy.
After finishing his performance
and getting a big hug from Jay-Z, Justin asked if he could meet him
backstage. The "Holy Grail" hitmaker laughed but he said yes. "Make some
noise for Justin one time," he told the crowd after his young admirer
left the stage.
With the transfer window now open, and speculation about possible
arrivals and departures at Stamford Bridge ranging from the sublime
(Radamel Falcao) to the ridiculous (Mario Balotelli), with the
disappointing (Juan Mata) and the repetitive (Wayne Rooney) thrown in
for good measure, it's easy to get distracted from the fact that Chelsea
have come through a hectic festive fixture schedule unbeaten and
relatively unscathed.
Starting with the pre-Christmas 0-0 draw
against Arsenal at the Emirates, it was evident that Blues boss Jose
Mourinho had gone a long way to remedying the defensive issues which had
blighted earlier performances and resulted in an alarming number of
goals being conceded against opposition not renowned for rippling the
net -- step forward Sunderland and Stoke City.Whilst questions have
regularly been asked of Mourinho's back-line -- where only captain John
Terry could be regularly absolved of any blame given Branislav
Ivanovich's occasional somnambulant moments, Ashley Cole forgetting for a
few games he is still the best left-back in the Premier League and
David Luiz... well just being David Luiz -- the shortcomings in the
defensive midfield area which has been marshalled variously this season
by Frank Lampard, Ramires, Michael Essien, John Obi Mikel (with an
effective cameo by Luiz thrown in for good measure) appeared to
The News: Well, he's done it again. In a speech to
the Catholic Union of Superiors General, Pope Francis discussed the
Church's position on the children of gay or divorced parents, warning against "administer[ing] a vaccine against faith to them."
"On an educational level, gay unions raise challenges for us today
which for us are sometimes difficult to understand," Francis said in the
speech which took place in November, but of which excerpts were just
made available to Italian media on Saturday.
