Kendall and Kylie Jenner Are a Walking Homage to Kim Kardashian's #InternationalWomensDay Nudes

As celebrities took sides about Kim’s decision to bare her body on the regular, those firmly in camp “Pro Kim” included her sisters Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian, who publicly Tweeted their support. And though Kendall Jenner hadn’t weighed in with words, last night in Paris, she showed her support in her own way, stepping out in a look that bears a striking resemblance to a certain set of censor bars.
And for those who think we might be reading a bit too much into the model’s choice in ensemble, allow us to point you in the direction of Kylie’s most recent selfie where she also poses in an almost identical black bar top.
n our minds, the supermodel sibling supported her sister in her native language (the language of fashion!) while making her way to the OFF WHITE show on Tuesday evening wearing an embroidered bomber jacket shrugged off one shoulder, high-wasted leather pants, her favorite furry purse/pet, and a barely-there bandeau top with matching choker.
And in a seemingly more explicit move honoring her sister’s body-positive shot, on Wednesday afternoon, Kylie also posted a mirror selfie wearing a strapless black swimsuit top, making it seem highly doubtful at this point that these sisters choices in FCC-approved apparel is merely a coincidence.

FRSC Interim Report: Ocholi’s driver Indicted



The driver of the late Minister of Labour and Employment, Mr. James Enojo Ocholi, has been indicted in the crash that killed the late minister, his wife and son.
The Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi, while submitting an interim report on the cause of the fatal crash to the Federal Executive Council said the driver was “moving in excess of the stipulated speed when he had a tyre burst.”
The driver, James Elegbede, was also indicted for having no record of valid driver’s license in the drivers’ database.
The Corps Marshal revealed that the investigations showed that the late minister and his son did not use the seat belts and were forcibly ejected from the vehicle when it somersaulted due to burst tyre.
“The ejection of the minister and his son, who occupied rear seats confirmed the fact that their rear seat belts were not in use and, on the contrary, the driver and the Orderly survived because the front seat belts were used.
“There was no record of the drivers’ license National Data Base of the driver of the Hon. Minister with the name, Taiwo James Elegbede. However, there was record found on the driver’s license National database of the driver of the Hon. Minister’s backup vehicle with the name Ibrahim Abubakar.
“Information gathered revealed that the driver of the crashed vehicle was actually moving in excess of the stipulated speed when he had a burst tyre.
“The weather and vehicle mechanical conditions did not contribute to the break-crash factors that led to the occurrence of this crash.
Oyeyemi noted that the crash might also have been aggravated by the fact that the tyres of the crashed vehicle were not properly fixed and had no proper alignment.

SAD !! Actor Declared brain-Dead after hanging Scene goes Horribly Wrong


FLORENCE, Italy — An Italian actor has been declared brain-dead after being strangled on stage when a hanging scene went wrong in the central region of Tuscany, a judicial source said Friday.
The Teatro Lux in Pisa said in a statement it was closing for 10 days because “following the unthinkable tragedy … we think it right to suspend all our activities, including shows.”
Raphael Schumacher, a 27-year-old from northern Italy, had been performing a monologue on adolescent existential unhappiness that ended with a scene of simulated suicide by hanging, local media reported.
The incident occurred during a private performance on Jan. 30, according to the local edition of national newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Schumacher clinically died on Thursday at the University Hospital of Pisa, where he had been lying in a coma since the incident last weekend, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Police were investigating two theater directors and two technicians at the theater for possible manslaughter, as they suspect that safety requirements were not adhered to during the performance, Corriere della Sera wrote.
It said Schumacher had chosen at the last moment to use a rope for the suicide scene rather than a pistol.

Hulk Hogan Sex Tape Trial: Gawker Attorneys Say Wrestler Openly Discussed Sex Life


During a cross examination of Hulk Hogan, who is suing Gawker Media for $100 million for posting a clip of a sex tape involving the wrestler, defense attorneys attempted to show that the wrestler has promoted himself by publicly discussing his sex life and other intimate topics. 

Gawker attorney Michael Sullivan cited a litany of examples, including a television appearance before the sex tape was public when he discussed what was then just a rumor of a tape involving him and a then-unidentified brunette woman. In the clip, Hogan jokes that he had been with several brunette women at around that time, saying, "I had about four-and-a-half months that I really went crazy. I actually wrote that in my book – I was staying drunk and crazy. I was really out of my mind for a while." 

Sullivan also brought up Hogan's discussion of an extramarital affair in his autobiography. He cited his wrestling days when he would allegedly pull a competitor's pants down. And he played a clip from Hogan's reality television show Hogan Knows Best, in which Hogan is shown on the toilet with his pants at his ankles. 

In response to Sullivan's question about whether Hogan considered the clip of him on the toilet an invasion of his privacy, Hogan responded, "No. I'm on a TV show. There are certain artistic liberties you take when you're in character." 

Later, he tried to underscore a distinction between his public persona and private life, saying, "I'm trying to help you understand: When I leave my house, everybody thinks I'm Hulk Hogan. But in the privacy of my own home, I'm Terry Bollea."

Hogan, 62, is going by his legal name, Terry Bollea, at the trial. He claims his privacy was violated when Gawker posted a portion of a video in 2012 showing him having sex with heather Heather Clem, the former wife of his then-friend Todd Clem, a.k.a. Bubba the Love Sponge, a radio shock jock, who filmed the encounter.

A Surprising Hair Loss & Baldness Treatment - Garlic and Onions.


Did you realize that Garlic and the humble onion may be used topically as a natural baldness and hair loss treatment?
A hair loss remedy can be natural and made with herbs and vitamins, and garlic and onions certainly count as being natural ingredients.
The reason many of us want the natural way is to try and avoid the side effects from chemicals and drugs that mainstream medicine use, and the cost saving is a great bonus.
Onions and garlic may also help to cover up hair loss and balding, by giving the remaining hair a much better appearance.

How do Onions and Garlic help cure and prevent hair loss and balding?

  • One way in which the garlic and onion hair loss remedies may work, is by providing nourishment topically to the hair follicles, especially if the nourishment of the hair follicles is being blocked by DHT or by bad diet.
  • Another way in which the onion and garlic topical remedies may act to cure hair loss and baldness, is by killing some germs that may be infecting the scalp area.
  • Yet another mode of action of garlic and onion on hair loss and baldness, is by killing parasites that may be infecting the scalp.
  • Also, some fungi infections may respond to garlic and onions being applied directly to them, and that may help remedy some types of hair loss and baldness.
So you can see how garlic and onions may help cure someones baldness and hair loss, as they attack the hair loss from so many different angles.

Try this:

60 minutes before you go to sleep, crush up a garlic clove and then rub the clove into the area of hair loss. It is important that the juice of the clove is smeared over the area fully and firmly.
Do NOT rub the the crushed clove too hard against the scalp, or you may cause traction alopecia - baldness caused by pulling on hair.
Leave for 60 minutes and then apply olive oil, gently rubbing the olive oil into the scalp.
For sleeping, you will need to wear a shower cap or something similar.
When you awake the next day, the first thing you should do is shampoo your hair.
(Adding a garlic extract to shampoo can also help to further strengthen hair and stop any breakage, while, at the same time, it can add good body to the hair and a nice gloss).
This hair loss and baldness remedy will work best if you can do this for a few weeks.
Hopefully, the hair will no longer be falling out and may start to re-grow.

For a hair loss and balding remedy using any onion

Try this:
Squeeze the juice out of one medium to large uncooked onion.
Apply the onion juice to the top of the scalp and massage deep into the hair roots - but again, do gently, so as not to cause traction alopecia.
You will need to leave it onto the top of the scalp for around 30 minutes and then shampoo.
By doing this onion hair loss and balding treatment everyday, you may find a great transformation of the hair on your head in several months.
Onion juice rejuvinates hair follicles and boosts the scalp circulation, so it should likely help the re-growth of strong hair.
If either the garlic or onion remedy for hair loss and balding work for you, please let me know
