City have underachieved - Mourinho

City have underachieved - Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has continued to snipe at Manchester City by claiming the club should have won more trophies considering their huge spending. 

With Chelsea travelling to the Etihad Stadium on Monday for what could prove a crucial fixture in this season’s title race, Mourinho has already goaded Manuel Pellegrini by claiming City have been “lucky” with refereeing decisions this season.

The Blues boss has now insisted the Premier League leaders have underachieved since their takeover by Sheikh Mansour in 2008. Under Pellegrini’s predecessor Roberto Mancini, City won an FA Cup in 2011 and their first Premier League title for 44 years in 2012, but twice failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

"They won one title, won a couple of cups," Mourinho said. "Only in Europe they didn't do well, or close to doing well. Speaking objectively, they did very bad in the Champions League in previous seasons, also in the Europa League.

"But the team is fantastic, the squad is fantastic and normally they [should] win more titles."

'The Fault in Our Stars' - Heartbreaking Love Story (Video Preview)
"The Fault in Our Stars" trailer arrives anew in high quality after the bootlegged version. The official sneak peek gives a better look at the tragic romance between Hazel and Gus who met at a cancer support group. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort play the on-screen couple.

Though charmed by Gus' funny and easygoing personality, terminally-ill Hazel kept her distance from him at first. "Gus, I'm a grenade," she tried to explain her reasoning. "One day I'm going to blow up and I'm going to obliterate everything in my wake and I don't want to hurt you."

Despite her reluctance, he didn't give up. "I am in love with you Hazel Grace," he confessed his feelings at one point. "And I know that love is just a shout into the void and that oblivion is inevitable...and I am in love with you. All of your efforts to keep me away from you are going to fail."

Directed by Josh Boone, the funny and thrilling story of being alive and in love is based on John Green's bestselling novel of the same title. Due in the U.S. on June 6, it is supported by Nat Wolff, Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, and Willem Dafoe among others.

Jose Mourinho again indicated that Chelsea will sign a world-class striker in the summer window.

New Video: Shakira Featuring Rihanna – “Can’t Remember To Forget You

Shakira has finally unveiled the full music video for her collaboration with Rihanna, "Can't Remember to Forget You". The Joseph Kahn-directed clip gives glimpses at the two superstars singing while flaunting their enviable curves in body-baring outfits.

At first, Shakira is featured writhing around and dancing in a bed placed in a big mansion. She later moves to a striped bed and takes a dip in a pool before Rihanna enters the house and walks around in all-black.

Both Shakira and Rihanna smoke some cigars, cozy up to each other and do a steamy, synchronized dance on the walls. The coach of "The Voice" then transforms into a rocker, playing the guitar and the drums.

"Can't Remember to Forget You" was co-produced by John Hill and Kid Harpoon. "This song 'Can't Remember to Forget You' combines both the reggae and the rock spirit, that's why I thought Rihanna was perfect. She was the other half of this," Shakira recently talked about the song and working with Rihanna on it.

The track will appear in the Latin singer's self-titled new album, "Shakira", which is due out on March 25.

Mourinho wish Man City win

Mourinho wish Man City win

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claimed he will be cheering on title rivals Manchester City when they take on Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Wednesday as he has his sights set primarily on sealing a top four finish in the Premier League this season.

Mourinho continues to insist his ambitions for this campaign are not focused on winning the title but rather on building a side that will be capable of competing with the best in the competition next season.

Few believe this serial trophy winner has such moderate ambitions for the final third of the season, but Mourinho has claimed he is hoping City will claim all three points at Tottenham.

“I prefer them [City] to win because they win and if we win, we open up gap to Tottenham,” said Mourinho ahead of his side’s home game against West Ham.

“If we have a gap of 10 to Tottenham, 12 to United, you have a safe spot in the Champions League. If you can have a safe spot by February and play the rest of the season without that pressure, it would be fantastic for us.

“That’s an objective I don’t want to fail. We cannot fail, because as a club we need that and as a team we need that too, because we want to play Champions League.

Vin Diesel Danced to Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' and Beyonce's 'Drunk in Love'

Vin Diesel showed his fans that he is not only rock hard actor but also hard rocking one. On Tuesday, January 28, the "Fast and Furious" star posted a video of him busting moves to Beyonce Knowles' collaboration with husband Jay-Z, "Drunk in Love", as well as Katy Perry's "Dark Horse".

The black and white video started with Diesel adjusting the camera and him mouthing the lyrics to "Dark Horse" while dancing. He banged his head and stuck his tongue out before telling fans why he was in such a good mood.

"Guys, I'm excited, I'm happy," the actor said. "Universal just called me and said Riddick is number one on the DVD charts. It's a win for all of us. Really really want to thank you so much ...Of course Universal said they want to develop the next one."

Before he launched the Beyonce song, Diesel asked fans, "Did you guys see the Grammys last night? I couldn't go, I had to do work." He then gave away his rendition of the song and even did the "surfboard" dance. The video ended with the words "All love".

Diesel had previously displayed his love of music in a video posted last September when he did a karaoke to Rihanna's single "Stay".

Angelina Jolie Unleashes Groot-Like Army in 'Maleficent' Latest Trailer

In addition to offering new footage, the trailer features a haunting soundtrack recorded by Lana Del Rey. Rumor has it, the "Summertime Sadness" hitmaker was handpicked by Jolie to sing "Once Upon a Time" from the 1959 original "Sleeping Beauty" film.
The film explores the origins story of the Disney iconic villain from a beautiful, pure-hearted young woman who turns into a cold-stoned sorceress due to a ruthless betrayal. Hell bent on revenge, she places a curse upon the king's newborn daughter.

Helmed by first-timed director Robert Stromberg, the dark fantasy film is slated to hit theaters nationwide on May 30. Elle Fanning stars as Princess Aurora and Brenton Thwaites as her Prince. Other cast members include Sharlto Copley, Juno Temple and Peter Capaldi. 




Eden Hazard: I want world best tag


Eden Hazard: I want world best tag

Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard claimed he wants to compete with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the tag of the best player in the world.

Hazard has been in sparkling form for Chelsea this season and he has set himself some ambitious targets in an interview published in Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws.

“Of course I want to be the best in the world,” he said during an interview that has been translated in several English newspapers.

“Previously I was more worried about the game itself: football was just a game for me, I wanted to amuse myself and didn’t bother what the people thought about me.

“Since I’m here at Chelsea, I’ve become more aware of my qualities, I guess. Before I knew I was a good player, but not one of the better players in the world.

“Now I realise that I can compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the near future, if I put in some more effort. I don’t know if I will ever reach their level. It’ll be hard, they have incredible stats, but I accept the challenge.”

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z opened the 2014 Grammy Awards, which is currently being held on Los Angeles' Staples Center. The couple delivered the first live performance of their new collaboration, "Drunk in Love".

Beyonce and her husband managed to steal the spotlight with the steamy performance. The diva, who looked stunning in a sexy one piece, sang the song on a spinning chair before Jay-Z joined her onstage. The two stars then danced together and gave each other a big hug before leaving the stage.
The performance marked Bey and Jay-Z's first time to take the stage at an awards show since 2003, when they appeared together to sing "Crazy in Love" at the MTV VMAs.
Lorde was also among performers who have been enlisted to perform at the Grammys. Making her Grammy debut, the New Zealand native donned a sleeveless white top when treating the crowd with a haunting rendition of her breakthrough single "Royals".

Other artists who have so far taken the stage at the event include Katy Perry who sang her "Dark Horse", Robin Thicke who was joined by Chicago to perform "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" and "Saturday in the Park" before singing his own hit "Blurred Lines", and Taylor Swift who played her piano as she performed "All Too Well". More A-list musicians will perform later tonight.

Many Have Died While Building for the World Cup in Qatar

Many Have Died  While Building for the World Cup in Qatar

The news: Although the World Cup in Qatar will not take place until 2022, migrant construction workers have already began building its infrastructure. Construction can be a dangerous job, but it’s been so dangerous in Qatar that 185 workers died in 2013 while on this project.

The Guardian reported that the 2013 death toll is expected to rise as new cases come to light. They added that this could end up changing how migrant workers are treated from here on out, putting pressure on both the country as well as FIFA to force meaningful change.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter addressed in an executive committee meeting that this issue will not be ignored

Jay Z and Beyonce Top Billboard's Power 100 List

Jay Z and Beyonce Top Billboard's Power 100 List

Billboard Magazine dubs Jay Z and Beyonce the most powerful couple in music...
Who in the music industry did so better in the last year than this power couple?
Leveraging their star power to release new albums in unprecedented ways—Jay Z through Samsung and Beyoncé through iTunes—they instantly changed how the industry and fans thought about interacting with music. He gave his album away; she charged a premium price for hers. But they both used the element of surprise to restore the excitement that used to accompany a new release, before that impact was dulled by the endless thunder of carefully plotted promotion.
In short, they proved that content truly is king. Or, in this case, king and queen.

Jose Mourinho hits back at Wenger

Jose Mourinho hits back at Wenger

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has potentially reignited an old feud with Arsene Wenger, accusing the Arsenal boss of “always complaining.”

Wenger stated on Thursday that Juan Mata’s imminent move to Manchester United is “not fair” and amounts to Chelsea “playing with the transfer market.”

Mourinho responded, however, by saying such comments are merely in the Frenchman’s “nature”, before claiming it is unfair that the Gunners always receive an easier fixture schedule than his side.

“Wenger complaining is normal because he always does,” Mourinho said. “It's something that we know. 

Is this a Joke? North Korea to Land a Man On the Sun.


According to Reddit and Tweaktown, the Korea Central News Agency said the following during a live news broadcast, naming 17-year-old Hung Il Gong as the astronaut:

"We are very delighted to announce a successful mission to put a man on the sun. North Korea has beaten every other country in the world to the sun. Hung Il Gong is a hero and deserves a hero's welcome when he returns home later this evening."

Hung took just four hours to get to the Sun and will only take 18 to return, making this a day trip. When he gets back to North Korea, he will be greeted by his uncle and supreme leader, Kim Jong-un.

Then Hung will be fed to a pack of starving, rabid dogs while Kim laughs and claps, before Dennis Rodman slam dunks his decapitated head through a hoop made of bones.
