Brits abroad in Greece are refused cash exchange or withdrawal

Brits abroad in Greece have claimed they were refused cash withdrawals and exchanges as they were told there was no official rate available following the Brexit win today.
Holidaymakers in Kos were reportedly told they can't access their funds as there was no rate set by the Central European Bank.
This morning the value of the pound dropped against the US dollar and the Euro.
This comes as the UK voted to leave the EU in a campaign backed by Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson.
A sign posted outside one resort noted that British or Scottish pounds couldn't be exchanged.
And others said how they weren't able to draw money out from their British bank accounts.
Matt Rooney tweeted: "It’s beginning already!
"We’re in Greece, no cash exchange & no cash machine withdrawals for Brits. Great #brexitfail"
He posted a picture of the sign at the Blue Lagoon Resort this morning informing guests they couldn't access their money.
It read: "Dear guests, we would like to inform you that we cannot exchange British or Scottish Pounds at the moment, as we do not have an official exchange rate from the central bank.
"Thank you for your understanding!"
Mr Rooney confirmed he was later able to withdraw cash, before he said his local exchange centre was accepting transfers again.
Yesterday, a majority vote saw Brits decide to leave the European Union.
In unprecedented scenes, the value of £1 tumbled more than 10 US cents to $1.33 in just a few hours.
The pound also was down just under 5% at 1.250 against the Euro - which itself has fallen against other currencies.
Alex Edwards, head of dealing desk at UKForex, said: "The pound has recovered off of this morning's low.
"Carney offered some reassurance to a market desperate for. it The US reaction will be interesting, and we could still see fresh lows in the pound today."
One pound will now buy you 1.22 Euros, which means holidaymakers travelling to Eurozone countries will get significantly less when exchanging money.

Woman outraged neighbours by sunbathing nearly naked on window ledge

A young woman has outraged her neighbours by sunbathing virtually naked on the window ledge of her first floor flat.
Residents claim the unnamed woman is regularly seen soaking up the rays in just a thong on her window in south-central Russia's city of Novosibirsk.
The appalled neighbours say she has been seen sunbathing on her mat - which she has placed as far out of her window as she can without falling - almost every day since the start of summer.
The unnamed woman told journalists after a snap of her went viral that she sunbathes that way every summer and that she was not bothering anyone.
She added: "People never really see me topless as I always cover my breasts when I turn over."

People living in the block of flats opposite - which is in an inner courtyard - and passers-by have all been treated to the regular sight of her legs and buttocks.
One of her neighbours, who declined to be named, said she had lodged an official complaint.
She said: "Every day between 10am and 1pm, this woman sunbathes almost naked in her window.
"I know that some of the OAPs here want to raise a petition aiming at prohibiting her from sunbathing this way.
"I understand that there is nothing special about it, but we all have to see it every day and it's too much."
The woman now has more attention than she anticipated after somebody snapped her on her precarious ledge and posted the picture on social media.
The woman, who asked to not to be named, told them: "Every summer I sunbathe this way.
"This is my own apartment and I'm not bothering anyone. And people never really see me topless as I always cover my breasts when I turn over."
However, all of the attention has proved a bit too much for the sun-lover - she has apparently given up her window ledge and now sunbathes on the beach with everyone else.

Although he could have been talking about the United Kingdom one day renewing its ties with the European Union, it seems likely he was alluding to their on-off relationship.
And Tyga posted a pic of Kylie from the same shoot as one she has also recently Instagrammed.
On the pics, Kim Kardashian's youngest sister shows that amazing curves run in the family.
The 18-year-old is wearing a dress that re-defines the phrase "figure-hugging" with some thigh high boots.
We think they may well be Kylie's sexiest ever pictures.
And it looks like Kim has a new rival when it comes to the most shapely booty in the family.

Tyga's picture showed Kylie sitting on the edge of the bed, looking like she was giggling on the picture.

Kylie Jenner accidentally wet her pants

Kylie Jenner just suffered an embarrassing incident while going out with some friends on Wednesday night, June 22. The reality TV star accidentally wet her pants and it was so obvious since she donned light blue jeans.
Things looked fun before the incident as Kylie posted on Snapchat a video of her lip syncing a song while cruising through the town in a car. She showed some skin as she caressed her body and pulled down her jacket. In another video, she and a friend blew a kiss to the camera.

Gun Control Petition: Jennifer Lopez, Lady GaGa, Selena Gomez and more sign

A number of Hollywood's biggest stars have come together to help stop gun violence. Over 180 stars including Lady GaGa, Katy Perry and Britney Spears have signed an open letter on Billboard magazine, demanding congress to vote on gun control reform.

Other celebrities lending their voice for the cause include Alicia Keys, Calvin Harris, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato, Ellen DeGeneres, James Corden, Jennifer Lopez, Joan Jett, Ke$ha, Kelly Rowland, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Macklemore, Meghan Trainor, Paul McCartney, Selena Gomez, Shakira, Sia Furler and Zayn Malik.

The petition came after senate rejected gun control bill offered in the aftermath of Orlando mass shooting. Soon afterwards, Democrat House members staged a sit-in on the House floor in Washington, DC until a vote is held.
"The one thing that connects the recent tragedies in Orlando is that it is far too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on guns," the open letter reads. "We call on Congress to do more to prevent the gun violence that kills more than 90 Americans every day and injures hundreds more, including: Require a background check for every gun sale. Block suspected terrorists from buying guns."

Whitney Houston's Estate sued by Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for auctioning her Emmy Award

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has filed a lawsuit against Whitney Houston's estate to block the sale of her Emmy statuette. The organization claims the singer didn't own the trophy because it's a loan, not a gift, to the honoree. They are now trying to retain its ownership through the court.

The late singer won the Emmy in 1986 for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Musical, thanks to her Grammy performance of "Saving All My Love for You". The statuette is currently listed on Heritage Auctions' website and will go under the hammer on June 24 with a starting bid of $10,000.

"When the Television Academy honors an artist for an achievement, it lends a copy of the Emmy Statuette to the artist to signify and symbolize the honor," the Academy explained. When an honoree dies, the artist's heirs and successors are allowed "to retain custody of copies to symbolize the achievements of the deceased honoree."

However, the organization continued, "The Television Academy has never intended that the Emmy Statuette copies be treated as articles of trade. The original statuette is registered under the copyright laws as an 'unpublished' work of art: copies of the statuette are not, and never have been, offered for sale or given to the general public."

In response, Heritage Auctions president Greg Rohan told TheWrap, "The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences claims that at the time Ms. Houston received that Emmy statuette she signed an agreement that it would not be sold. We have asked the Academy multiple times to produce that signed agreement but still have not received it."

"Why is the Academy now demanding return of Houston's Emmy when they did not stop over three dozen earlier public auctions of Emmy awards the past decade? Based on their behavior thus far, we think the Academy is simply trying to bully the Houston family, and we're going to stand up for our consignor, regardless of the cost," Rohan added. "In addition, Heritage Auctions will donate our entire commission earned on the sale of the Emmy to a charity of the Houston family's choice."

Aside from attempting to prevent the auction, the Television Academy is suing for copyright infringement and seeking unspecified damages.

Diego Maradona claim 'Hand of God' was payback for the Falklands War

Diego Maradona has marked the 30th anniversary of the 'Hand of God' by claiming his goal and Argentina's victory over England was partial payback for the Falklands War.
 
The Argentinean legend, now 55, infamously opened the scoring in the 1986 World Cup final by rising above Peter Shilton to palm the ball home.
In his post-match press conference, 'el Diego' would claim he scored "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God," and it went down in history just as much as Argentina's second, a stunning 60-yard solo dribble.
But marking the anniversary of that sweltering afternoon in Mexico City, Maradona recounted some of his memories from the day to Argentina's C5N news and claimed the result was more significant because British forces had defeated Argentina's invasion of the Falklands just a few years before.
"We played that game with boots and rifles," Maradona said.
"After the game we celebrated until we cried.
"It felt like we had done justice, well maybe not justice but made good for the mothers who had lost sons in the Falklands.
"For that goal I thought Shilton was going to clatter me. But it was like he'd taken a Xanax, he pulled out.
"A little guy of 1.67 metres beat a big guy of 1.88 metres to the ball... but with his hand. It was like I robbed their wallets!
"That game was like showing who were the biggest men. I realised from the first scraps that they were playing as if their lives were on the line."

Oscar Pistorius claims he can still SMELL Reeva Steenkamp's blood

Shamed Oscar Pistorius has gone into graphic detail about the night that he killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013 after firing four times through a locked toilet door.
The South African athlete claimed the killing was an accident in his first TV interview, saying: “I heard a noise at the toilet and before I knew it I’d fired four shots”.
He said of the moment he found her body slumped in the bathroom: “I opened the toilet door and immediately when I saw Reeva she was over the toilet. And I [breaks down], at that point I knew that I’d killed her. I knew that she was dead. And I went down on my knees and pulled her onto me.
“And I put her on the bathroom floor; and I pull the curtain.. the towel down for her head.
“And I just see blood and it’s just blood everywhere. [sobbing] It’s just blood everywhere... So much blood! [sobbing] and I don’t know what to do.
“I’m trying to pick her up but there’s so much blood I can’t stand up. And I thought Reeva had started breathing, so I had my fingers in her mouth and I was trying to give her mouth to mouth, but there was so much blood.”
Pistorius, then sobbed and wailed into his hands and walked out of the interview in tears to compose himself.
In another section, his voice broke and he looked to the floor as he added: “I did take Reeva’s life and I have to live with that. I can smell the blood. I can feel the warmness of it on my hands. And to know that that’s your fault, that that’s what you’ve done.
“And I understand the pain people feel, that loved her and miss her. I feel that same pain.
I feel that same hate for myself. I feel that same difficulty in understanding this. And I look back and I think, I always think – how did this possibly happen? I think, how could this have happened? How could this have happened?”
Pistorius also says he regularly “wakes up ill or wakes up crying” because of dreams about Reeva.
“You dream you’re waking up next to her. And you wake up to reality and you realise ... You just want to go back to sleep and you realise it’s not the truth whatever you were dreaming, worse than a nightmare.”

Former Miss World contestant Yumara Lopez die of cancer age 22

A former Miss World contestant has died at the age of just 22 after losing her battle with cancer.
Yumara Lopez represented Nicaragua in the international competition in 2014 when it was held in London.

Since then she had been battling against the invasive disease, but sadly after almost two years, she died yesterday at the Alejandro Davila Bolanos Military Hospital in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua.
In 2014, Yumara was elected Miss World Nicaragua 2014, after the young woman who originally won the contest, Maria Esther Cortes Molina, renounced her crown.
Despite her illness, the beauty queen travelled to London to compete with contestants from 121 countries.
The director of Miss World Nicaragua and her representative, Denis Davila, lamented her death, describing her as a "fighter".

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's wedding is coming real soon

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's wedding is happening soon. A new Us Weekly report claims that the pair, who got engaged back in April and are now expecting their first child together, are set to tie the knot next month.

According to the magazine, Rob and Blac originally planned to get married after she gives birth to their baby in October, but his mom Kris Jenner urged them to move up the wedding date to July. The publication's sources additionally reported that the nuptials would take place "somewhere warm" and that Kylie Jenner might serve as a bridesmaid.

Kylie, who happens to be the ex-girlfriend of Blac's baby daddy Tyga, was rumored to be feuding with the 27-year-old model in the past. They appeared to squash the beef after they were pictured hanging out together a couple months ago.

Kylie isn't the only Kardashian-Jenner who's cool with Blac now. Almost everyone seemed to have problems with Rob and his fiancee's relationship at first, but they can now accept Blac as a family member as they believe she has "saved" Rob, who gained over 100 lbs. and was diagnosed with diabetes in the 3 years he spent out of the public eye.

"The girls literally thought Rob was going to die. They feel like Chyna saved him," an insider told PEOPLE. "The [Kardashian sisters] have gotten over their issues with Chyna now. They've welcomed her in."

Prince's tragic passing was not accidental, SUICIDE NOTE reportedly found

A new report claimed that Prince's tragic passing was not accidental. Two months after he died, In Touch said that the late music icon left a suicide note hinting that he intentionally overdosed on opioids before his body was found in the elevator of his Minnesota home back in April.

The note was reportedly found "among the clutter of Prince's notebooks and papers" by a staffer who hid it from the authorities and public believing "it was what the deeply private star would have wanted."

"He wanted to be remembered as one of, if not the greatest, pop stars of all time, someone who spread love and joy through his music - not someone who'd done this to himself," a so-called close friend of Prince told the publication.

According to the pal, the suicide note was "scrawled in big letters on a page ripped from a notebook" and read, "Need something to make the pain stop, even if it means ending everything somehow. It's time to go, I didn't mean to leave soon. I didn't mean to leave now. Love, Love, Love. "

Prince did spend years suffering from knee and hip pain prior to his death. "He knew he would finally do himself in with a deadly dose of opiates," the source told the outlet, adding that Prince was "sick and tired of living" and had been thinking about committing suicide for quite some time.

However, Gossip Cop can confirm that the In Touch claims are all "not true." A "reliable source" close Prince told the site that the Purple One didn't end his life on purpose and he didn't leave any kind of suicide note.

Kendall Jenner is transformed into 'Goth Goddess' in Marc Jacobs' Fall 2016 Campaign

Kendall Jenner is transforming into "Goth Goddess" in the latest Marc Jacobs campaign for his fall 2016 collection. The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star looks unrecognizable in dark make-up, a big, crimped wig and black costume consists of an elaborate black gown and enormous platform boots.

In a sweet caption, Marc gushes, "KENDALL, Supermodel I will always remember the first time I met Kendall during castings for our Fall 2014 fashion show. Katie Grand invited her to come by the studio for a brief introduction before she was photographed for the model boards. At the time, I knew very little about Kendall... As history now has it, her very first fashion show was for Marc Jacobs Fall 2014. Kendall has since been a part of every show along with being featured in our Spring '15 ad campaign (also shot by David Sims)."

It goes without saying that Kendall has gone on to establish an incredible career for herself and every bit of it is a testament to her hard work, passion and desire. During castings for Fall ’16, due to the enormous height of the boots we designed, we had to make certain that each girl was able to walk (and walk safely). Kendall slid those boots on and walked around the studio as if she was in a pair of running shoes: statuesque, confident and just as enthusiastic and excited to be doing the show as if it was her first one. For me, it is the ability of a model to effortlessly transform into a look and character that makes her so appealing and inspiring.
