Khloé Kardashian and French Montana Break Up After 8 Months Together

Posted in: , ,

Khloé Kardashian has been dating rapper French Montana for about eight months now, but the latest news is that the reality star is a single lady once again.

A source confirms to E! News exclusively that the couple is no longer together. The source adds that Khloé grew weary of his "needy, obsessive" behavior and she slowly began distancing herself. "For all intents and purposes, Khloé is single again."

The insider says that Khloé officially broke things off with French, who is having trouble with the split and "won't really accept it." The exes are still in contact and French, 29, is trying to save their romance, "but eventually they will be totally broken up," the source adds.

I'm now wondering, where is the love they both proclaimed? And the report they were already planning to have babies together?

While Jessica Alba is often known to dazzle on the red carpet, the Fantastic Four star stole a different type of show as she was handed the honour of throwing the first pitch for the LA Dodgers in their match against the Milwaukee Brewers. Accompanied by her two daughters, Honor and Haven, Alba spent some time warming up on the field at Dodger Stadium before throwing the pitch that got the game underway.

The 33-year old follows in the footsteps on swimwear model Chrissy Tiegen and LA Lakers head coach Byron Scott in throwing the first pitch for the Dodgers in recent years. Alba has been busy promoting the upcoming release of the eagerly anticipated Sin City sequel, but there were no signs of stress as she strode out towards the mount dressed in a white Dodgers jersey, jeans and blue trainers.

The Hollywood beauty was met by a pleasant reception from the fans in the stadium, who all welcomed the Los Angeles native warmly as she made her way to the mound before throwing a very acceptable pitch to kick things off.

How Important is Physical Attraction In A Relationship Versus Other Traits?

Posted in: , , , , ,

By Jenna Brown

Dating can be a difficult fact of life. We strive to present our best selves but struggle with the ins and outs of dating. There's the primping, the prepping, and the awkward moments that are so inevitable. It comes with the territory of being alone with someone you barely know. But that is just the beginning of the courtship.

With all of the stress of looking your best, the ultimate question arises: how important is physical attraction in a relationship? For some couples, they may find that physical attraction is no different than any other desired trait, while for others it could be the foot in the door that grabs their attention.

The dating world is a lot like a battlefield where you must constantly put your best foot forward to succeed while still protecting yourself from attacks that may come. The difference is, it's a battle that both parties can win. As complex as dating is, people are really seeking basic desires when it comes to finding their partner. These include;

Why President Jonathan Should Be Ashamed Of the #BringBackGoodluck2015 Campaign

Posted in: , ,

When I first saw a billboard with the hashtag #BringBackGoodluck2015 on my newsfeeds, I didn't want to believe my eyes, that image looked photoshopped. But with this new picture above, the reality of the campaign cannot be denied.

Whether President Goodluck Jonathan's political campaign machine is behind these posters, or they are from an independent backer, it is appalling that no one in his camp has come out to plainly condemn it.

It is pitiful and depressing that while the over 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram are yet to be found and returned to their families, it is all business as usual for the president and his political cronies. Shame on them!

The Washington Post has written a brief oped about president Jonathan's supporters using the #bringback hashtag for his campaign. I hope some people are reading;

WHO Says Ebola Death Toll Is Now Over 2,000 With Thousands More Cases Expected in Liberia

Posted in: , ,

The death toll from the worst Ebola outbreak in history has risen to at least 2,296 out of 4,293 cases in five West African countries, the World Health Organization said Tuesday September 9th. The director of WHO’s department of pandemic and epidemic diseases, Sylvie Briand, said this in Geneva;

"We know that the numbers are under-estimated. We are currently working to estimate the under-estimation. It’s a war against this virus. It’s a very difficult war. What we try now is to win some battles at least in some places.” 

The death toll, according to WHO, jumped by almost 200 in a single day and the figure was as of September 6th. WHO also said it did not have new figures for Liberia, the worst-affected country so far, suggesting the real number is higher than 2,296.

Meanwhile, the WHO has also predicted that Liberia would see thousands of new cases of Ebola virus in coming weeks as the virus was spreading exponentially.
