These Boys Ain’t Loyal! Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran off?

Image
It seems Chris Brown and his ever loyal girlfriend Karrauche have split up. It apparently happened right after Chris had posted a photo of Karrauche in nothing but a bra and thong on his Instagram. Since the supposed split, the photo has been deleted. After Chris’s release from jail it seemed like the couple was doing well; they were photographed together at multiple events looking happy in love. Anyways, we wish both stars well and hope this split comes with no drama at all.

Chidinma denies sleeping with Clarence Peters says 'we are still fresh'

Image
The two of them are "too close for comfort", many have said. Award winning singer  Chidinma  is currently in the process of denying all rumours surrounding a possible love affair with her friend, colleague and video director Clarence Peters. Their hand in hand entrance at the  2014 MAMAs  in Durban last month sparked the rumours. The MTN ambassador admits she's been tagged with so many other male celebrities in Nigeria but none of the affairs are true. In a new interview with Encomium Weekly Magazine, the young songstress claims those rumours are what they are – RUMOURS!!! "The story is not true", she told the mag, "Funny enough, he [Peters] is not the only man I was alleged to be dating." she ended. The singer has once been tagged to Soundcity's  VJ Adams , pop star  Wizkid  and others. From her explanation, looks like all those affairs only happened in people's heads but we will keep you guys posted when we smell something.

Pete Edochie and son, Yul Nollywood star, Yul Edochie, is the last child of acting veteran, Pete Edochie. In this interview monitored by SHOWBIZPLUSng, the thespian, who has done well for himself as an entertainer spoke on how his parents ‘forced’ and encouraged him to get married at 22, among other germane issues.  When I came in and asked about you, I was told you were in the smoking bar, do you smoke? Good question. Well I smoke but sometimes not always. Whenever, I want to be alone to think about some things, I chill with cigarettes but I don’t dope or smoke weeds-just cigarettes. Why not weeds also? No, it will never get to that extent. My father warned me that I can smoke but not weeds or drugs. You do a lot of crazy things under the influence of dope. It makes you act irrational and it kills the brain cells. But you also do more of alcohols? Not much too. I just drink but I don’t drink to get drunk. May be a little bit tipsy, but never drunk.

Sister power! Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner look like twins and rock animal-print in Paris

Image
The sisters wore their hair in exactly the same style as they stepped out during Fashion Week - no competition here! Splash Spot the difference! Kim Kardashian loves to stand out from the crowd, but she had some serious competition from her almost identical-looking younger sister today. Kendall kicked things off for the family with her Chanel catwalk a few days ago , but ever the supportive sister, Kim has now flown out to join her. Kanye West's wife  stole the show at her first big event when she risked a nip slip in a VERY revealing floor-length gown. We don't believe it could have been more plunging. But keen to involve Kendall in all things fashion (surely it should be the other way round?) the pair ventured out today in similar outfits.

Bit nippy? Braless Selena Gomez flaunts jaw-dropping boobs as Justin Bieber poses with model Yovanna Ventura

Image
The singer appeared to have been getting close to the Biebs recently, but after he posed with another girl - it seems there may be trouble in paradise We knew Selena Gomez had a pretty perfect body, but we don't remember ever seeing her boobs looking THIS big before. The star has stepped out in a plunging black top and her boobs are barely contained by her top as she risks all in no bra. She chose this eye-popping look just hours after her ex and rumoured on/off boyfriend again Justin Bieber was snapped cuddling Yovanna Ventura. We imagine he's as shocked as us seeing Selena here. The star coupled the tight tank top with come open knee jeans and cute kitten heels - but it really was difficult to focus on anything but her giant bust.

Image
John Moore, 28, said that he saw the number 17 throughout the day so decided to use the numbers for his bet Reuters Toni Kroos scores One lucky punter was celebrating yesterday after winning £2,500 by predicting Germany would thrash Brazil 7-1. John Moore, 28, an unemployed chef from Woodford, east London, won the bet after placing a  fiver on the incredible game . Mr Moore said last night: "I was shocked that I actually put a fiver on it to be fair. "It was a bit of a mad one. You could call it a premonition or a sign. I was just seeing 17 everywhere. I looked at the clock and it was 17:17. "I had a package come and they left it at the gatehouse and a letter came through the door and it had number 17 on it. It was one of them days. "I also thought that  Mertersacker and Gustavo  had number 17 on their backs, so I had a fiver and I thought I’d have Germany 7-1. "I didn’t do it the other way because I didn’t think they had it in them.

Image
Another fashion faux pas? Uh-uh. The singer was actually leaving the gym...           Rex/FilmMagic Rihanna was working up a sweat at her local NYC gym Pop beauty Rihanna has been snapped out and about in some very interesting fashion choices lately. Hot on the heels of her pink negligee and Converse combo, she then headed out in a sporty pair of black and white leggings and matching crop top. But it wasn't another questionable style choice, the Bajan born star was actually leaving her New York City gym. The singer  had her hair pinned half up and matched the outfit with a pair of white Nike trainers. Just the previous day Rih was spotted confusing nightwear with daywear as she was snapped sauntering down the street in her silky pink PJ-style outfit.

Image
Raju the elephant was beaten, abused and forced to go hungry until animal charity workers rescued him last week Raju the elephant who melted the hearts of people across the globe has finally found happiness after five decades of being chained up. His tears of joy at being released  from his shackles now appear to have turned into a smile as he met his new family and was given his first proper meal for a very long time.

Phoolkali, who is also a rescue elephant, shared her dinner of mangoes, jackfruit, bananas and biscuits with Raju. She was discovered in a warehouse that did not have any windows and has since made a full recovery thanks to the efforts of workers at the Elephant Conservation and Care Cnetre in Mathura.

Mike Will Made It & Miley Cyrus Have Reportedly Been Dating For The Past 9 Months

Image
So the whispers were accurate Spring of last year was a pretty big time for  Mike Will Made It  and  Miley Cyrus . Mike Will Made it was quickly becoming a household name, after the success of  Lil’ Wayne ‘s “Love Me”, “ Future ‘s “Turn On The Lights”, and  Ace Hood ‘s “Bugatti” made his sound and DJ drop ubiquitous. Miley Cyrus on the other hand, was working on her new album,  Bangerz , which would eventually debut at #1 on the Billboard charts with first-week sales numbers of 270,000 copies. At the time, the singer and producer seemed so comfortable and cozy with each other, the rumor mill began buzzing with ideas that the dynamic duo was dating, but nothing was ever confirmed or revealed by either Cyrus or Mike Will. Today, in an exclusive report from  US Weekly , it appears for once, those rumors were pretty accurate. A source close to the two artists had this to say an a statement made to the entertainment magazine.
