Posted in: , ,

Ellen Degeneres and wife Portia Rossi have been under a lot of scrutiny lately as reports continue to indicate they are going through divorce proceedings.

However, the couple were seen in New York City earlier in the week stepping out together, holding hands and joking with the paparazzi. It almost seems like the two are thumbing their noses at the rumors of divorce.

Regarding the vicious rumors, Ellen told People magazine the following:

“I love her so much it kills me. The truth is, and this is corny, I fall more in love with Portia all the time. I really do. She surprises me all the time. It’s what anyone experiences when you find that person that gets you, wants to take care of you, wants the best for you. We’re really lucky because we know how rare it is.”

Posted in: , , ,

Kyle Beckerman, Team USA's midfielder, has been awesome at the World Cup, proving to be one of the most physical players on the field, his dreaded hair an unwelcome sight for opponents.

But with his wife Kate Pappas, Kyle Beckerman is a softie, a romantic and a lover. Even when they are on the soccer pitch, he is far removed from the fighter he usually is.

This is seen in the couple's adorable engagement photos taken at the Rio Tinto Stadium, the home field for Beckerman's MLS club, Real Salt Lake. The couple also got a few nature shots that show their love for the outdoors.

Cassie Shows No Baby Bump as She Steps Out in Bra Top For Outing With P Diddy

Posted in: , ,

Cassie Ventura sparked off speculations last week that she and boyfriend, P Diddy could be expecting their first child together. 

The model had posted an Instagram bikini picture [see here] that showed noticeabley fuller stomach, breasts and face. Cassie later removed the photo that started the stories and replaced it with another, but that only added fuel to the fire.

Now with pictures emerging from Cassie and Diddy's outing last night, it is obvious that any pregnancy talk is not justified. The couple attended the 40th birthday party of baseball star, Derek Jeter, and also later seen at Khloe Kardasian's 30th birthday with French Montana.

For the outing, Cassie wore a knee-length fitted white skirt and a gray denim bra top that both showed off her toned midriff. No more bump watch :)

Posted in: , ,

Khloe Kardashian celebrated her 30th birthday last night with a few friends in a private club party. By her side throught out the party was rapper French Montana whom some reports say she is dating, and others say is just a friend.

Well, French Montana, who attended her party with his Label boss, P. Diddy is said to have given Khloe Kardashian a Jeep Wrangler to mark her birthday. The jeep was spotted outside the restaurant where they held her private party and is said to be worth almost $30,000.

Kim Kardashian Had a Wardrobe Malfunction and Showed Her Nipples in Blonde Hair Selfie?

Posted in: , , ,

Yesterday, when Kim Kardashian shared pictures of her blonde wig on Instagram, she started by fooling her followers into thinking she had dyed her hair blonde again, tagging the picture;

“It’s baaaaack!!!! #BlondeHairDontCare thanks to @SergeNormant”

However, she corrected that impression when a few hours later, she posted another photo (below), with the caption:

“It’s just a wig! Looks so real though right?”

The second picture quickly became controversial, but not because of the prank! It appeared that Kim had a wardrobe malfunction in the selfie, and her nipple were showing in the photo.

A Typical Traditional Marriage List In Igboland - True or False?

Posted in: , , , ,

When I shared a bride price list last year here, I felt it was a bit on the moderate side since some of the items were like N200 and none cost more than N5,000. This is another Igbo traditional marriage list I just saw and the person that shared it said it was the typical list in all of Igboland.

I beg to disagree o, some of the exorbitiant quotes and included gifts brought tears to my eyes. I've never seen such a list before. I'm sure even the elders of the Brideprice app [here] haven't seen it before either.

Which part of Igboland does this list belong to? I think the ladies from that area need to boycott traditional weddings. Period! Unless all of them can find and marry billionaires like Dangote, of course.

Rick Ross Loses 100lbs in One Year, How Did He Achieve His Weight Loss?

Posted in: , , , ,

Rick Ross recently unveiled a slimmer body in his pictures shared on social media and has now also opened up on the process of his weight loss. And no, it is not Weight Watchers.

The rapper said it was a combination of a slight diet plan and a CrossFit exercise routine, and that he has been able to lose 100 pounds over the last year. Rick Ross used to have seizures some years ago and this led Reebok, whose brand he represents to introduce him to a trainer to help him lose weight.

Rick Ross explained in an interview:

I do this sh-t called CrossFit. I call it RossFit. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I call it ROSSFIT. Earlier this summer, Reebok had introduced me to a trainer, and what he turned me onto was — let’s say, for instance, if you got on the treadmill, and you did that sh-t for 30 minutes.

Career Choices - How Being a Nursing Professional Can Help You Touch Lives and Make a Difference

Posted in: , , ,

A nurse is more than just someone who helps a doctor with patients. Nurses are a line of communication for those who may have no one else to talk to. They can serve as a confidante for those who don't want the rest of the world to know why they are seeking care.

Inspire Hope in Others

As a nurse, you are the one who is going to talk to patients about their status, give them their medicine and otherwise be there when a person needs someone to talk to. If someone is going through a battle with cancer or a child is going through an illness, you can be there to give hope to that person.

There have been stories where nurses will hold a spa day inside a patient's room or just spend extra time talking to that person even when their shift is over. Just knowing that someone cares can provide the hope that a person needs to keep going.

Drake Selfie

It does make one kinda speechless. Canadian rapper Drake shared a selfie of himself in the bathroom and with no shirt on. The thirst is real for some ladies right about now, lol.

Someone mentioned that the best thing they like about shirtless Drake is the lack of tattoos. Even our Peter PSquare has some. I don't mind tattoos myself, but give me a fit manly chest anytime, tattoos or nay.

Ladies which do you prefer, tattoos or none on a guy?
