North Korea threatens to attack U.S, claims the country is involve in the making of "The Interview"

North Korea, which has been named as the one responsible for the massive cyber-attack targeting Sony Pictures Entertainment, is now threatening to attack the U.S. and claims that the country is behind the making of "The Interview", a satire centering on the assassination of Kim Jong-un. The threat was mentioned in a statement by the National Defense Commission on Korean Central News Agency on Sunday, December 21.

"The DPRK has already launched the toughest counteraction. Nothing is more serious miscalculation than guessing that just a single movie production company is the target of this counteraction. Our target is all the citadels of the U.S. imperialists who earned the bitterest grudge of all Koreans," it read, as translated by CNN.

"Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon and the whole U.S. mainland, the cesspool of terrorism," it continued. "The DPRK has clear evidence that the U.S. administration was deeply involved in the making of such dishonest reactionary movie."

Back on Friday, North Korea denied that they were involved in the cyber attack after officials named them as the one behind the hack. In response, the country demanded a joint probe and promised "grave consequences" if the U.S. did not comply.

In an interview with CNN, broadcast on Sunday, President Obama called the Sony hack a "cybervandalism" and did not consider it as an act of war. "We're going to review those [issues] through a process that's already in place," he said. "I'll wait to review what the findings are."

Hackers Threaten to Release images from Iggy Azalea's Sex Tape

Anonymous hackers have threatened to release still images from an alleged sex tape of Iggy Azalea following her feud with Azealia Banks. Under the handler @TheAnonMessage, the hackers demanded Iggy to issue a public apology to Azealia. However, the account has been suspended now.

In some deleted tweets obtained by Vulture, the hackers first pointed out at Iggy's racist comments, writing, "We apologize for our followers with regards to this following statement: F**k you, @IGGYAZALEA. #ICantBreathe." They called Iggy "trashy b***h" and then followed it up with, "We have so much s**t on you, your scandal would be bigger than Bill Cosby's."

Anonymous hackers then threatened the "Problem" rapper, "MESSAGE: @IGGYAZALEA, you have exactly 48 hours from now to release a statement apologizing to @AzealiaBanks and the protesters in NYC. You are guilty of misappropriating black culture, insulting peaceful protesters, and making light of Eric Garner's death."

"There's an X rated tape of you, we bet you'd certainly don't want public, are we right? @IGGYAZALEA....and this is nothing. Comply or else," they continued.

According to The Daily Dot, the hackers said the sex tape involved "a man in a business suit, a kardashian-like attempt at fame, and a record label."

Manchester City proved doubters wrong- Manuel Pellegrini

Manuel Pellegrini believes Manchester City have proved their doubters wrong after making it into the last-16 of the Champions League and going level on points with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League.

Three weeks ago, City were bottom of their Champions League group and were nine points behind Chelsea but a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace extended their winning run to eight games and wiped out their deficit to Jose Mourinho's team.

Pellegrini believes his side have produced the response of champions, telling a postmatch news conference: "Maybe nobody believed one or two months ago we can continue in the Champions League and can be involved in the fight in the title.

"But we always trust in what we do and the way we work every day and that is why I am so happy the squad demonstrates why we won the title last year."

 Pellegrini hailed his players for winning without three strikers and their captain, saying: "Without Sergio, without Dzeko, without Jovetic, without [Vincent] Kompany, I think that other players are having their moments and they are having an important answer in the way David did."

Miss World Pageant Bans swimsuit Portion in Future Competitions

Days after Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss was announced as the winner of Miss World 2014, the pageant's organization has decided to ban swimsuit portion on future competitions. Swimsuit portion has been one of the most popular rounds in Miss World pageant in 63 years.

National Director of Miss World America/Miss United States organization Chris Wilmer told ABC News, "The organization has decided to take itself out of the swimsuit world because it isn't the path they're trying to take. It's not just a beauty contest, it's 'beauty with a purpose.' There didn't seem to be a purpose to have the swimsuit."

The organization wanted future contestants of Miss World to focus on charity work and raise awareness to worthy causes. "Miss World should be a spokesperson who can help a community. She's more of an ambassador, not a beauty queen," Chris said, "It's more about the outreach and what a woman could do with a title like Miss World."

The organization planned to replace the bikini portion with a beachwear round. "It'll be more of a fashion competition than a bikini show," Chris added. It also plans to add more challenge events like sports, dance, talent, top model gown, Beauty with a Purpose video and some interviews.

"I salute the miss world organization for their efforts to try and modernize," Chris told the site, "Pageantry is an age old industry and I think with Julia getting rid of swimsuit and making it more of a lifestyle competition sends a strong message and I applaud her for it."

The elimination of the bikini portion was first announced by Miss World Chairwoman Julia Morley. Speaking to Elle, Julia said, "I really don't want-I don't need to see women just walking up and down in bikinis. It doesn't do anything for the woman. And it doesn't do anything for any of us. I don't care if someone has a bottom two inches bigger than someone else's. We are really not looking at her bottom. We are really listening to her speak."

The 27-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm really happy, I've been here a long time now and I want to keep that going."

Hart said: "The new deal means I get to stay longer -- the club's doing amazing things at the moment, we've created history and we want to keep doing that.

"Wanting to stay here was never going to be an issue for me -- I've loved every moment since I joined. The club's growing and I've been really lucky to be part of the ride.

"I just want to keep winning with the team and keep developing. A lot of the boys have signed long-term deals, so we're building as a squad and I think that quite a few of us have been here for a long time now.

"We're enjoying building that winning mentality, how the club is growing is around us and how we need to grow along with it."

Confirmation of Hart's deal had been expected since manager Manuel Pellegrini revealed an agreement was close a fortnight ago.

Mario Balotelli gets one-match ban for offensive Instagram post

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has been banned for one match and fined 25,000 pounds ($39,000) after admitting sending an offensive message on social media, the Football Association has confirmed.

Balotelli had shared an image on Instagram featuring the Nintendo character Mario that included the words "jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew."

The Italy international later deleted the post, describing it as an "unlucky moment," and added in follow-up posts on Twitter that his own adopted mother is Jewish.

However, he was charged by the FA and suspended for one match.

An FA statement read: "Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today [Thursday Dec. 18, 2014], Mario Balotelli has been fined 25,000 pounds, suspended for one match with immediate effect, subject to any appeal, and warned as to his future conduct after he admitted breaching FA Rules in relation to social media.

"The charge was that an image the Liverpool player posted on social media was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper, contrary to FA Rule E3(1). Furthermore, the posting was considered to be an 'Aggravated Breach' as defined in FA Rule E3(2) in that it included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race and/or nationality and/or religion or belief.

"Mr Balotelli has also been ordered to attend an education programme."

Balotelli confirmed soon after the ruling that he would not appeal, writing on Twitter: "Following the recent events related to my 'Super Mario' post, the FA decision has made clear that it was wrong. I am sorry that my teammates and supporters of Liverpool FC have to be penalized for something that I did and now come to regret.

"It is my intention to comply with the decision of the FA and make sure it never happens again."

Liverpool said they were awaiting the full written verdict from the panel but did not rule out further action against the player by the club.

Thierry Henry hang his boot, return to London as a media pundit

Former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry has confirmed his retirement from football and will return to London to take up a role as a media pundit.

However, the former France international and World Cup winner has instead called time on a trophy-laden career, which included spells with Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona and the Red Bulls.

Henry confirmed the news in a statement on his Facebook page on Tuesday morning:

Henry will always be most closely associated with Arsenal, where he is the leading goal scorer with 228 goals in 377 games across two different spells.

Arsene Wenger, who had known him as a young player at Monaco, signed him from Juventus for 11 million pounds in 1999, and immediately shifted him from the wing to a central striking position.

His blend of pace and power made him one of the most feared forwards in English football, and Henry won the Premier League title twice with the Gunners -- including the 2003-04 season, when the side went through their entire league campaign unbeaten -- as well as the FA Cup three times. Henry left Arsenal in 2007 and joined Barcelona, where he won the Champions League in 2009.

He also added two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, Spanish Supercopa, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup to his honours list in three seasons at Barcelona.

His medal collection also includes a Ligue 1 title and Trophee des Champions with Monaco, his first professional club. He spent the final five years of his playing career with the Red Bulls, returning to Arsenal to make four appearances on loan in early 2012.

With France, Henry scored 51 goals in 123 appearances -- only Lilian Thuram has more caps with Les Bleus.

He was a member of the 1998 World Cup winning squad, while also being a runner up in 2006. Henry was a European champion in 2000 and was part of the team that won the Confederations Cup in 2003.

"I made reference to The Blueprint because Jay is the biggest rapper of our time. The name of the album was inspired by Jay but not the body of work," she explained.
