Woman Punched By Police At Roadside To Get $1.5 Million Settlement

Remember the woman who was repeatedly punched in the face and head by a police officer at the side of the road some months ago? After a settlement meeting, she will be receiving $1.5m in compensation. The bulk of the money will go into a special needs trust for the 51-year-old victim, Marlene Pinnock.

Pinnock's lawyer Caree Harper said the settlement secured the two things she wanted.

"One of the things we wanted to make sure of was that she was provided for in a manner that accommodated her unique situation in life, and that the officer was not going to be an officer anymore."

Gabrielle Union Puts Leaked Nudes Behind Her With Wedding Day #TBT

Gabrielle Union was one of the female celebs hit the hardest with several of her nude pictures, click to see, hacked from her phone and released online. Many were sympathetic but a few social media commentators felt she deserved it.

The newlywed had released a statement with husband Dwayne Wade last week, and now she is putting the leaks totally behind her. She posted a couple of pictures from her wedding day with the caption to the one above;

The walk... To love ... I leave behind fear, judgement, scorn... I will not be shamed, lectured on what I "deserve" or what I have "coming to me"... I'm a lot of things but careless, ignorant, gullible or a deviant, I am not. Love to those who have shown me love... God Bless #tbt #happy #andthebeatgoeson #whosewatchinScandaltonight #gladiatorsstandup

#ScandalThursday - Grey's Anatomy, Scandal And How To Get Away With Murder Tonight!

The most exciting for me is How To Get Away With Murder. Though not written by Shonda like Scandal and Grey's Anatomy, the new show is produced by the ABC powerhouse writer and executive producer.

Just the trailer alone should get anyone excited for the show, a legal thriller that is like a combination of Scandal and Suits.

Viola Davis stars as Annalise Keating, the inimitable professor of Criminal Law 100 at Middleton, and what her students learn inside the classroom is no match for the real murder case they become wrapped up in.

South Africans Intend To Sue TB Joshua For Neglecting Building Collapse Casualties

South Africans who lost relatives when a church hostel in Lagos collapsed have said they intend to sue Nigerian evangelist TB Joshua.

According to this BBC report, two men, who both lost sisters in the collapse, are appealing for more families to come together in bringing a case against the preacher. At least 115 people, including 84 South Africans, died when the multi-storey building fell down earlier this month. The authorities say it had more floors than its foundation could hold.

On Sunday, Mr Joshua, who is one of Nigeria's best-known evangelists and is popular across Africa, announced plans to travel to South Africa to visit the families of the deceased.

Emergency workers allege they were prevented from participating in the rescue, only gaining full access to the site on Sunday afternoon - accusations denied by Pastor Joshua's Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo have split, if multiple sources are to be believed. According to E! News, their breakup is reported to be mutual, and they still care very deeply for each other and will remain in each other lives as friends.

Kim Kardashian West was tackled and almost knocked to the ground in an alarming assault as she and Kanye arrived at the Balmain Show at the ongoing Paris Fashion Week.

According to reports, Kim, Kanye and Kris Jenner had arrived at the show with several hundred people, including a gaggle of photographers, squeezing around the car to watch them arrive and pap them.

Unfortunately, as Kim got out from her side of the car, an unknown guy lunged at her, tackled her legs and tried to pull her to the ground. Fortunately, security jumped in in time, subdued the guy and quickly escorted Kim and Kris into the building.

Kanye was ready to fight but calmed down later wheh he had his wife in his arms, hehehe

I'm glad Kim's OK, and this did not happen last night when they attended with their daughter North West. HERE.

Father Making $100M A Year As CEO Quits His Job To Spend More Time With Daughter

Mohamed El-Erian is the former CEO of PIMCO, one of the hugest investment funds in America, and his job paid over $100M a year! In January 2014, his decision to resign caused widespread debate in the financial and hedge fund sectors about his reasons for departing, his relationship with founder Bill Gross and the future of the firm. He speaks to the personal side of his decision to Worth Magazine.

About a year ago, I asked my daughter several times to do something—brush her teeth, I think it was—with no success. I reminded her that it was not so long ago that she would have immediately responded, and I wouldn’t have had to ask her multiple times; she would have known from my tone of voice that I was serious.

She asked me to wait a minute, went to her room and came back with a piece of paper. It was a list that she had compiled of her important events and activities that I had missed due to work commitments.

Talk about a wake-up call. The list contained 22 items, from her first day at school and first soccer match of the season to a parent-teacher meeting and a Halloween parade. And the school year wasn’t yet over.
