Bobbi Kristina Brown’s hearse arrives carrying her body to funeral service

The hearse carrying Bobbi Kristina Brown has arrived at the church where her funeral will take place today.

Scores of onlookers are expected to gather on Saturday near a Georgia church for the funeral of Bobbi Kristina, the only child of late singer Whitney Houston.

Brown's funeral at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, a northern suburb of Atlanta of about 60,000 residents, is private and will be closed to the public but that is not expected to deter media and members of the public who have been mourning her death.

Brown, 22, died on Sunday at an area hospice, six months after suffering irreversible brain damage in a still unexplained incident at her Roswell, Georgia, home.

She was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub by her partner and a friend in January in an eerie echo of the Beverly Hills hotel bathtub drowning of her famous mother in 2012.

Brown, the daughter of Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown, is expected to be buried on Monday next to her mother at a cemetery in New Jersey.

An initial autopsy this week found no obvious underlying cause for Brown's death but the investigation is ongoing. 

The case is under review by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office but no-one has been criminally charged over her death.

A $10 million civil lawsuit filed in June accused Brown's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, of causing her "life-threatening injuries" and of stealing from her bank account while she was in a coma.

Brown had inherited her mother's fortune.

Samsung set to create a fold in Half-Like Flip Touch Screen phone

The Seoul, South Korea-based company has patented a smartphone with a super flexible touchscreen that looks flat and seamless but would be able to fold in half, either inward or outward, much like the two flaps of a wallet. Just imagine folding your iPhone in half.

According to images filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office earlier this month and first obtained by Business Insider, the phone could look a lot like the ubiquitous clamshell phones of the early 2000s.

It's unclear whether Samsung will actually pursue this foldable design or whether it would ever release similar flip phones in the U.S. However, the company has experimented in recent years with innovative phone designs, including its curved Galaxy phone and its somewhat bendable Galaxy Note Edge. 

But in the flip realm, a version of Samsung's flip phone is slated to go on sale in Korea sometime in August. Called the Galaxy Folder, the smartphone will have all the modern functionality we've come to expect from our smartphones, but look a lot like the phones gathering dust in our dresser drawers. 

"The folding-style design combined with smartphone features, including the Internet, messenger and social networking services, will add to the device's convenience," Samsung said in a statement, according to Reviewed.com.

Nicki Minaj DUMPED Meek Mill over Drake feud

Minaj has reportedly dumped Meek Mill following his ongoing feud with Drake.

Meek and Drake first fell out after the former accused Drake of using a ghostwriter to pen his raps.

“Stop comparing drake to me too... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!” Meek tweeted on 22 July.

Since then it's escalated with diss tracks (Meek's spectacularly backfired) and other famous faces wading into the row on social media.

Now, according to MediaTakeOut, rapper Nicki has broken things off with the 28-year-old, who she's been dating since late last year.

A source claimed Nicki dumped hiNicki m on Thursday night, but seeing as he's currently touring with her “the two plan on fulfilling the rest of the tour obligations together.”

The source, reportedly a close friend of the star's, couldn't say whether it was down to what's been going on with Drake.

“It’s complicated. I think they took their relationship too far, too fast," they continued.

It comes after Meek recently said things were going from strength to strength between him and the 32-year-old singer and said he wants children "sooner or later".

He said: "Nicki ain't pregnant. But yeah, I wish...I already tweeted that five years ago, so it should be happening later. Sooner or later, when we ready for that."

Missing MH370 Plane: Chinese and Indonesian plastic bottles found washed up on Reunion island

Chinese and Indonesian plastic bottles have been found washed up on Reunion island after wreckage from what could be the missing MH370 plane.

The discovery comes as experts say it is "increasingly likely" wreckage likely to be from a Boeing 777 jet is from the doomed Malaysian Airlines flight.

The containers were a Chinese water bottle and Indonesian cleaning product. There were 153 Chinese passengers on board flight MH370.

The investigation into flight MH370 will move to France as suspected debris from the doomed plane is transported from the Indian Ocean island of Reunion.

Malaysia's prime minister Najib Razak has said that the two-metre long debris is likely to be from a Boeing 777 craft - the same model as the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.

The disappearance of the flight has been officially declared an accident after it went missing in March 2014.

All of the 239 passengers and crew on board are presumed dead.

After confirming that the debris was to be taken to France for further investigation, Mr Razak added: "As soon as we have more information or any verification we will make it public.

"I promise the families of those lost that whatever happens, we will not give up."

The plane was flying from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Beijing, China, when it is thought to have come down in the Indian Ocean on March 8 last year.

Speaking to the BBC, oceanographer David Griffin from Australia's national science agency said the location of where the debris was found is "consistent with where we think debris might have turned up".

Among the debris, a suitcase was found by workers on a Reunion beach.

Relatives of those who on board flight MH370 are said to be planning a lawsuit against Malaysia Airlines if a piece of debris is confirmed to be from the missing aircraft.

Its Caitlyn in Jenner's voice: Caitlyn Jenner talks to Kim Kardashian about her voice problem

Caitlyn Jenner has undergone surgeries to look feminine, but she can't change her voice. She addresses this issue during a conversation with her stepdaughter Kim Kardashian as seen in a clip for the next episode of "I Am Cait".

"I'd be sitting there in my little room, all by my lonesome, and I'd think, Okay! I'm going to try to get my best feminine voice and call down so they say, 'Yes, ma'am,' " so she reveals in front of Kim and her friend Malika Haqq. "I could never do it."

Kim then encourages Caitlyn to try it in front of them, with Kim playing a role of a hotel employee. "You sound no different!" the wife of Kanye West comments.

To the camera, Caitlyn says, "Women cannot relate to the whole voice thing. They don't see it as being that important when it is that important, not only for you to speak and order and do all that kind of stuff, but very important for your soul that you're feeling good about that."

Kim Kardashian accused of faking her Baby Bump in new Selfie on Instagram

Kim Kardashian has been accused of faking her baby bump following the latest selfie she shared on Instagram on Monday night, July 27. Kim posted a picture of her cradling her baby bump while posing in front of a mirror wearing a tight white dress. "Good night baby," she captioned it. 

MediaTakeOut pointed out that Kim's belly looked bigger in the photo than she was photographed earlier in the day. The site claimed Kanye West's wife was faking her pregnancy by wearing prosthetic belly. "We TOLD YOU ... We Told You That Kim Kardashian Has Been Wearing A PROSTHETIC BELLY ... And She's Not Really PREGNANT ... Now We Got THE PROOF!!" wrote the site.
 

The site continued, "MediaTakeOut.com told you a few months back, that Kim Kardashian was likely FAKING her pregnancy ... word is that she hired a SURROGATE to carry her baby. Now there's PROOF. Yesterday Kim K slipped up ... and wore the WRONG PROSTHETIC BUMP when she went out. You see, earlier in the day, she posted a pic of herself on Instagram wearing her 6 MONTHS ALONG belly. But later, when she went out ... she wore a MUCH SMALLER prosthetic - more like her 4 month along prosthetic. The size difference was VERY OBVIOUS. It's gotta be tough keeping track of all them PROSTHETIC BABY BUMPS."

An insider told HollywoodLife.com that Kim didn't fake her pregnancy as her feet and ankles have been swelling since she continues to wear heels during her second pregnancy. "Kim thinks the whole 'fake' baby bump controversy is hysterical. If anyone doesn't think she's pregnant they should take a look at her swollen feet and legs."

"She's been smarter about what she eats and is continuing to exercise this time around so she's not as big as she was with North," the insider continued, "But that doesn't mean she isn't feeling bigger all over. She's not getting mad though as she thinks it's funny. Kim and Kris love that she's being kept in the news by something so silly. Kim can't take all the sexy selfies she likes to take when she's not pregnant so having this baby bump controversy is actually a blessing."

Bobbi Kristina Brown to be buried August 1 next to her mum Whitney Houston

Bobbi Kristina Brown's funeral will be held in Georgia on Saturday morning, August 1. A memorial service for Bobbi will take place at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta at 11:00 A.M. Her body was released by Fulton County Medical Examiner on Tuesday afternoon and is currently at a funeral home in preparation for burial.

Bobbi will be buried next to her mother Whitney Houston in New Jersey on Monday. According to Mail Online, Tyler Perry's private jet is ready to airlift Bobbi's body for burial at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield following service in Georgia. There is a list of celebrity guests who are invited to the funeral but details are being kept under wraps by Pat Houston, who is a co-executor of her will.

Bobbi's grandmother Cissy Houston will attend a memorial service at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, the same church where Whitney's funeral was conducted before her burial in Westfield back in 2012.

Tyler took to Twitter on Tuesday, July 28 to express his sadness over the tragic loss of Bobbi. " I'm a writer with no words.... Bobbi Kris," he tweeted. Earlier this month, he asked media to show "some decency and respect" to Bobbi and her family following death rumors. 

Bobbi's boyfriend Nick Gordon, who reportedly will not be invited to Bobbi's funeral and burial, stepped out with her mother Michele on Monday, July 27 around their gated community in Florida. Nick was still wearing his engagement ring and a ring he gave to Bobbi on his neck.

Nick's younger brother Junior Walker told ET that he's doing "bad" after learning of Bobbi's death, but he's not on suicide watch. "He didn't even know," Junior said. "I told him ET posted it ... and then his lawyer called on the phone while I was talking to him. He was on the phone with me and I told him that ET [was] posting saying Kris is gone. We're all hurt right now trying to figure out how to cope through everything. This whole year has not been easy at all."

Eating for two: Scientists disprove myth of women over eating during pregnancy

The myth that women need to eat significantly more during pregnancy has been disproved by scientists.
Experts tested fruit flies and found pregnancy triggers hormone-driven growth of the intestines that allows the body to extract more energy from exactly the same amount of food.
This change happens straight after mating and the same “juvenile hormone” also stimulates fat storage, the Medical Research Council in London found.
Dr Joe McNamara, of the MRC, said: “This research points to a scientific explanation why eating for two during
pregnancy is not necessary, and may even be harmful. Growing evidence indicates that a mother’s diet can impact a child’s propensity to be obese in later life.
“The important next step will be to reproduce these findings in humans.”
The study, in journal eLife, may also help explain why some women struggle to lose weight after giving birth. Experts found if hormone levels fail to normalise after birth, a­ mother’s enlarged intestine might continue to absorb more calories.
The researchers believe the same ­metabolic responses seen in the fruit flies should also happen in humans.
Dr David Richmond, president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, added: “It is only in the last 12 weeks that women need an extra 200 calories a day.”

Falling Angel: Chinese artists create a realistic fallen Angel

Last week in Beijing, artists Sun Yuan and Pen Yu unveiled their latest work they call “Angel”

The work is frighteningly realistic, and photos of the work are being shared across all social networks. The piece has been installed in China’s capital, reports the Daily Mail.

The sculpture is of a disturbingly lifelike old woman whose body is tangled due to her ‘fall from grace.’ The sculpture was created using fiberglass, stainless steel, silica gel and woven mesh. No matter how close to the sculpture you get, it appears unbelievably real from the gray hair and facial wrinkles to the fleshy wings. The sculpture looks as though it could rise from the ground at any moment.

Some of the artists other sculptures, though not as visually extreme, contain more extreme things including human fat tissue, live animals and even baby cadavers. The artist’s goals are to “challenge our perceptions of the human condition as well as death.”

According to the artists, their latest work “Angel” is intended to “highlight the tension and transition between the supernatural and the mundane. The angel, a transcendent being, has become powerless, unable to carry out God’s will, or to help those who believe in its existence.”

Kim Kardashian and Khloe upset over Caitlyn Jenner’s unkind words about their mum Kris

Khloe and Kim Kardashian were not happy with the way Caitlyn Jenner spoke about their mother Kris in her Vanity Fair interview.

During the now very famous magazine shoot Caitlyn revealed their marriage break down was more to do with the way that Kris treated her throughout their relationship and that’s what she couldn’t take anymore.

“Twenty per cent was gender and 80 per cent was the way I was treated,” the former Olympian said.

@kyle_mayou I loved the Vanity Fair article! just didnt think Caitlyn needed to mention my mom in the article. Spread love and not hate

— Khloé (@khloekardashian) July 27, 2015

Last night Khloe tweeted: “I loved the Vanity Fair article! just didnt think Caitlyn needed to mention my mom in the article. Spread love and not hate.

Kris meanwhile has kept a dignified silence regarding Cait’s comments and has barely said anything at all about her ex husband’s transition.

In the Vanity Fair article Kris says: “He was married to me and he wasn’t who he wanted to be so he was miserable… All I was doing was working very hard for my family so that we could all have a wonderful future, and he was p*****d off.

“At the end of my relationship with Bruce he definitely had a lot of social anxiety. That was one of the reasons we were in a struggle at the end.”

Caitlyn describes it somewhat differently explaining how the dynamic changed once Kris started paving the career path for the family.

aitlyn said: “She had her own money, she didn’t need me as much from that standpoint. The relationship was different.

“I think in a lot of ways she became less tolerant of me. Then I’d get upset and the whole relationship kind of fizzled.”

The ups and downs of Kris and Bruce was shown regularly on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Caitlyn believes the way she was mistreated is plain to see.

"A lot of times she wasn't very nice. People would see how I got mistreated. She controlled the money... all that kind of stuff," Jenner said.

Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina dies

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown died at 22 years old, more than six months after she was found unconscious in a bathtub at her Georgia home. The Houston family announces the sad news via a statement by their representative.

"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family," the statement reads. "She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."

Bobbi Kristina was discovered face down in the filled tub in January. She had been receiving treatment in a medically induced coma ever since. In March, she was moved to a long-term care facility in Atlanta.

Later in June, she was moved to the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Georgia as her aunt Pat, who is married to Whitney's brother Gary Houston, said, "Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition has continued to deteriorate."

Jennifer Lopez slip into one of her sexiest outfits as she celebrates her 46th birthday

Jennifer Lopez slipped into one of her most sexiest outfits ever to celebrate her 46th birthday.

The singer, who recently debuted a much shorter hairstyle, headed out to 1 Oak nightclub in New York on Friday.

But the singer managed to distract fellow guests from the fact that she had turned another year older by wearing an outrageously racy dress.

It was the type of ensemble only a superstar of Jen's calibre could pull off, and the mum-of-two had absolutely zero problems making it work.

The frock included a hefty display of cleavage thanks to a cut-out chest area, along with sheer panels running down her thighs.

There was very little material going on, but that which there was clung to her body and flaunted her desirable figure.

Eminem delivered a six-minute freetyle, targets Caitlyn Jenner, Miley Cyrus and more

Eminem stopped by "Sway in the Morning" on Thursday, July 23 to promote "Southpaw" and its soundtrack which he executive produced. During his visit to the show, the rapper delivered a crazy six-minute freestyle in which he name-checked a few headline-making stars including Caitlyn Jenner, Donald Trump and Miley Cyrus among others. 

"This a true statement, I see the b**ch in you Caitlyn," he rapped about the reality TV star at one point. "I keep the pistol tucked like Bruce Jenner's d**k/ No disrespect though, not at all/ No pun intended that took a lot of balls."

Of Cyrus, he said, "I'm coming through like a wrecking ball/ You would swear I think highly of Miley/ And I respect her the way I back-'Hannah'/ Excuse my French, Montana/ But I am worried about nuttin'."

Elsewhere, he attacked Bill Cosby and made some references to the veteran comedian's sexual assault case. "I made monopoly off misogyny," he spat, "Sodomy, how many chocolatey Jell-o pops can he possibly lace, walking atrocity/ No wonder you scoff at me, it's obvious I'm as off-putting as Bill Cosby is."

Aaron Hernandez, Amanda Bynes and Alyssa Milano were other names Em mentioned in the freestyle. After he finished, he told the show's host Sway, "I just say s**t to say it. It's very rarely personal. If it was personal, somebody would know. It's all in fun."

Game of Throne Season 6: Jon Snow returns to Belfast, fuels rumors of His return

A new photo of Kit Harington just added a hint at Jon Snow's return to "Game of Thrones" season 6. The actor was spotted arriving in the Belfast airport on Monday, July 20. It's believed that he returned to Northern Ireland, the home base of the HBO series, to join the production for the upcoming season as filming is set to begin this week.

In the last few weeks, there had been reports that Harington was back to Belfast for pre-production, though there were no photographic evidence. It was reported that the 28-year-old actor refused to take photos with any fans in Belfast.

Harington, who revealed that he's contractually obligated to keep his hair long for the duration of the show, has also grown his hair back after appearing with shorter hair at the premiere of his movie "Testament of Youth" back in January.

While it's still unconfirmed if Harington's character Jon will be featured in season 6 after he was stabbed by his Brothers in the Night's Watch in the fifth season finale, Jon's brother Bran Stark is definitely back after he was absent in season 5. Isaac Hempstead Wright who plays the character confirmed it earlier this month, "I can't say a lot, but I am back this season, and it's going to get particularly interesting with Bran. He has some interesting visions.

Game of Thrones Season 6: Filming location supports fan theory of Jon Snow's return

Another evidence that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) will return to "Game of Thrones" season 6 may have just surfaced. There have been theories among fans that Jon is actually the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark (Ned's late sister) and was born in the Tower of Joy. Now, a filming location for the upcoming season may confirm it.

As fans have noticed, one of the newly announced filming locations, the Castillo de Zafra in Guadalajara, Spain, resembles the Tower of Joy from the books. In the books, the Tower of Joy was torn down long before the events of season 1. If the Castillo de Zafra indeed serves as a stand-in for the Tower of Joy, it will likely be featured in a flashback.

Adding fuel to the speculation, Watchers on the Wall recently reported that the show's casting an unnamed "legendary fighter" described as "a man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a hugely famous sword on his back. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn't specified, unlike many other roles."

The description reminds the book readers of Arthur Dayne a.k.a. the Sword of the Morning, who was a Kingsguard knight under the Mad King and one of Rhaegar Targaryen's closest friends. He was considered one of the greatest warriors in the Seven Kingdoms before he died at the Tower of Joy.

Should the show confirm fan theory about Jon's parents, it's believed that the show won't go this far and dig into the circumstances of his birth only to keep Jon dead. Thus, it is believed that Jon will have a presence in season 6 since he's the only major character alive who is related to an event in the Tower of Joy.

Filming for the sixth season of "Game of Thrones" is scheduled to begin this month for a 2016 premiere.

Kylie Jenner couldn't resist flashing her flesh as she partied in West Hollywood last nigh

Reality star Kylie Jenner, 17, definitely wasn't feeling shy as she partied with Cara Delevingne and sister Kendall last night.

While most fans praised the video others were left with raised eyebrows, arguing that she was too young to be sharing such raunchy clips.

"You are 17 what are you doing?" one simply asked.
