She wears high heels on a daily basis but Kim Kardashian still loses her footing from time to time just like everyone else.

Or perhaps more than most, as the reality star managed to stumble two times in one outing on Thursday.

Wearing stiletto heels, Kim tripped up on her way into the hair salon.

Kim Kardashian managed to trip both on her way in and out of the hair salon in West Hollywood on Thursday




And although that should have made her more careful, Kim had another accident on her way out – this time falling into a car.

It was a good thing someone else’s vehicle was there to break the star’s fall as she jumped down a step and apparently misjudged the height of it.

Kim slammed into the car as she made her way to her own, reaching her hand out to stop her from falling further, while clutching her mobile phone in her other hand.

Imo State Police Command yesterday said it has arrested 16 suspects in connection with the kidnapping of Nollywood actress and Special Assistant to the State Governor on Public Affairs, Nkiru Sylvanus.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Vitalis Onugu (DSP), disclosed that the suspects were arrested in a raid of suspected kidnappers’ dens in the forest, adding that they were already assisting the police in its investigation.
Meanwhile, the state government has directed security agencies to arrest any unauthorised person found using siren and vehicles with tinted glasses. Rising from a security council meeting, the state Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, said the renewed war against unauthorised use of siren and tinted glasses was part of the stringent measures adopted by the council to checkmate crime in the state, especially during the Yuletide.
Also, members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Southeast Zone, demanded the immediate release of the actress. Members of the actors’ body, led by its National Vice President, Southeast, Ikechukwu Ezenagu, a legal practitioner, barricaded the entrance of Government House displaying placards with various inscriptions which include, “Southeast governors give Nollywood actors security,” “Insecurity is the bane of investment in the Southeast,” “Turn away from kidnapping and join Nollywood,” among others.

London, Dec 20 (ANI): President Obama has admitted that he loves PSY's 'Gangnam Style', much to his daughters' embarrassment.

In an interview with People magazine, Obama said that he does the South Korean rapper's infamous dance at home in the White House, with the sole purpose of winding up Malia and Sasha, the Daily Mail reported.

"They're cooler than I am. There are things I like that they think are cheesy, like Gangnam Style. I love that," he said.

Even his wife admits it is "a little embarrassing" when he attempts to do the routine. (ANI)

Deputies from opposition and pro-government parties blocked the first session of Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday (December 12) after numerous fights erupted in the parliament chamber.

Scuffles erupted when members of several parties approached the stand simultaneously and attempted to push each other out of the way.At one moment a majority of those gathered in the parliament chamber stood up and joined in. Deputies could be seen pulling each other by their clothes, pushing and shoving.

A few members of parliament attempted to climb into the parliament speaker's stand and were being pushed off by others.

World heavyweight boxing champion Vitaly Klitschko, who heads the UDAR (Punch) party, chose to look on and did not join into the brawl.

There is certainly not going to be an end to the controversies that emerge from Nigeria’s privately owned – especially Christian – Universities. And when it come to controversies one of the universities in the forefront in this regard is no other than Covenant University (CU) in Ogun State.

Reports emerging from the university has it that say that a student of the institution was recently suspended after he was caught watching the music video teaser for Jarmeu’s ‘Booty Bash’. The Covenant University student (identity withheld), was caught watching the nearly x-rated music video of Jarmeu, who is one of Nigeria’s fast rising artistes.
The school, which is owned by Nigeria’s billionaire’s pastor, David Oyedepo’s Winners Chapel Church, as most people might have heard, does not allow the use of mobile phones by its students.

Therefore, when the student’s phone was seized, it was discovered that he had been watching a music video that had the flaunting of ‘booties’, which belonged to Jarmeu. The student was then punished for ‘indecent conduct’ and got suspended from the school by the school authourities.....well some say it was because of.the phone anywayz..

KaySwitch ‘D Produkt’ (Born as Kehinde Oladotun Oyebanjo), began his journey into music in secondary school, where he used to rap with his friends for fun. Rapping gradually became a part of him and later singing and songwriting. Influenced by iconic stars such as Sizzla Kalonji, Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Youssou N’dour, his greatest musical influence was his older brother, D’Banj, who played a major role in KaySwitch’s love and passion for music and entertainment. KaySwitch ‘D Produkt’ spent a lot of time with his brother D’Banj and gradually developed his own musical style and direction, but it was not until his first encounter with the mic in 2005 while recording a track with his friend Dr. Frabz in the studio that he decided to take up music professionally.

His past affiliation with Mohits Records, formed by his older brother, D’Banj and Don Jazzy, gave him the time to develop his skills in the studio, and become a highly skilled recording and performing artist. From the US to the UK, India, Asia, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Turkey, Dubai and many more countries around the world, KaySwitch ‘D Produkt’ has toured with his brother D’Banj and also performed at major shows such as the This Day Show, Star Mega Jam, Koko concert and the Calabar festival.

His music is a reflection of his calm and urban style as well as his eccentricity. KaySwitch believes in being the best in whatever he does in life and looking outside the box by creating something unexpected and different. He lives by the saying “send on” which he interprets as “bringing on blessing and good things to come”. KaySwitch ‘D Produkt’ is most definitely a force to be reckoned with in the music world.

The signing of D’banj and KaySwitch is part of Sony Music Entertainment Africa’s belief that Africa is an important & exciting music development frontier. The company has set its sights on becoming the primary partner of the best Africa has to offer and has confidence that through such partnerships, African musicians can achieve new Pan African and Global success.

Suspected arsonists burnt down a Living Faith Church on Wednesday December 12, destroying property worth millions of naira.

According to the provincial Pastor of the church, Timothy Olaniyan, he got a distress call at about five in the evening informing him about the incident at his church on Airport road, Ilorin.

Reports claim the church and a group were involved in a land dispute and recently the co- secretary of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC), Prof. Ish’aq Oloyede had visited the site with some members of the group.

“We had reported the matter to the Commissioner of Police and wrote a letter to Gov. Abdulfattah Ahmed, who directed his Deputy Chief of staff, Mr Leke Ogungbe, to handle the matter.

“Also one Sharia Court judge, Alhaji Saliu Mohammed, came and said that the Emir of Ilorin instructed him to mediate in the matter in order to ensure peace.

“At about 8.pm on Monday, we noticed some strange people flashing touch light to the church from a distance.

“Again, we reported to the police only for us to wake up to see a burnt church on Wednesday morning,’’ he said.

Ogungbe, who visited the scene, appealed for calm and urged the church members not to embark on reprisal attack. “It is quite unfortunate that the incident happened, even the security agency is aware of my mediating role,’’ he said.

He assured the public that government would ensure security of lives and property in the state.

Muyideen Akorede, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, also said that government had directed security agents to investigate the incident with a view to allowing the law to take its full course.

The disturbing incident drew a number of reactions. The Kwara chapters of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) condemned the burning of the church.

CAN Secretary in the state, Rev. Cornelius Fawenu, told NAN that the association would demand that justice be done.

“We are not going to lie low as we did in the past; CAN would explore all means to get to the root of the arson,” Fawenu said.

The NLC chairman in the state, Umar Akanbi, also described the incident as unfortunate, saying: “We don’t need this kind of thing in Kwara.’’

The NLC boss called for religious tolerance and understanding between adherents of the different religions.

In his reaction, the Chairman of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Kwara chapter, Shakir Akorode, said it was dastardly for anyone to burn down a sacred place of worship.

“I don’t believe that any sane person would commit such a dastardly act. I am sure the fire outbreak is an accident.

“In Kwara State, everybody lives in harmony with one another. Government should investigate the fire and fish out the culprits, ’’ Akorode said.

A cold war brewing between President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo came out in the open last weekend as the two political figures attended two different events with their political allies.

Mr. Jonathan was in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, to bury his brother, Meni, while Vice President Sambo was in Kaduna to give his two daughters, Aisha and Huwaila, out in marriage.
A top official of the Peoples Democratic Party told SaharaReporters that many members of the party were baffled that the president fixed the burial of his brother on the same day that his vice president had set for his two daughters’ marriage.

SaharaReporters learnt that Mr. Sambo’s daughters’ wedding had been scheduled months ago. “The president knew about the wedding and received his invitation long before his brother died on November 20,” said our source, adding that First Lady Patience Jonathan had been tapped to be “Mother of the Day” at the nuptials.

Several sources disclosed that the relationship between the President and the Vice President started to deteriorate when Sambo received reliable indications that Mr. Jonathan was determined to run for another term in office. The prospect of the president’s going for a second term has alarmed Northern political figures, among them the vice president, who had been calculating ways of retaking Nigeria’s highest political office.

“We know that some northern elders have been putting pressure on Vice President Sambo to position himself to challenge the president,” said a source close to Mr. Jonathan.

Other sources in Aso Rock told us that President Jonathan was well aware that Mr. Sambo is exploring options for running for the presidency in 2015. “He has been trying to raise his profile and rally political heavyweights and operatives to his corner,” said a Jonathan associate. The source accused the VP of “trying to flex his political muscles, but he should know that, even if Mr. President decides not to run, he [the president] will still have a say in who succeeds him.”

One of Mr. Jonathan’s men said that they came close to declaring war “after Vice President Sambo selected a powerful delegation and went with them to pay a condolence visit to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on the loss of his daughter.”

A political observer described the scenes in Yenagoa and Kaduna last weekend as resembling “a realignment of political forces around President Jonathan and Vice President Sambo.” Those who mourned with Mr. Jonathan in Yenagoa included Senate President David Mark, who also has presidential ambitions, as well as numerous Nollywood players. On the other hand, such personalities as Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, Muhammadu Buhari and several Northern political figures, traditional rulers and business executives attended the vice president’s more festive event.

A source close to the vice president disclosed that Mr. Jonathan was in a precarious position. “He is waging an ongoing political war against [former President Olusegun] Obasanjo,” said the source.

A confidant of President Jonathan’s admitted that members of the president’s camp were angry at Mr. Obasanjo for trying to remotely control the ruling party long after his exit from power. The People Democratic Party recently stated that there was no plan to reconcile the president and Mr. Obasanjo.

On his part, Mr. Obasanjo has said in private and public forums that President Jonathan is bound to leave in 2015. The former president’s statement is at odds with Aso Rocks’ strategy of leaving Mr. Jonathan’s opponents guessing as to his next plans.

Crystal Harris left Hugh Hefner brokenhearted last year when she called off their nuptials five days before the big day.

“The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart,” Hefner tweeted on June 14, 2011.

But now, after rekindling their romance in June 2012, Harris, 26, and Hefner, 86, are set to tie the knot on New Year’s Eve and have officially obtained their marriage license.

Still, Hef must have been devastated when his wife-to-be became a runaway bride.Playboy playmate Crystal Harris and Hugh Hefner were set to wed in June 2011, but Harris — who is more than half a century younger than Hefner — called off the nuptials just a few days before their wedding at the Playboy Mansion. The couple ended their relationship completely after the broken engagement. BUT, a year later they rekindled their romance and are set to wed on New Year’s Eve 2012.

Here are 12 other celebrities who were left at the altar:

Roberts shocked the world when she broke up with Sutherland just three days before the ceremony and ran off with his best friend, actor Jason Patric. Friends said Sutherland was “shocked” by the split, but more than a decade later, he said, “I commend Julia for seeing how young and silly we were, even as painful and difficult as it was.”



Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow

They met in 1995 on the set of “Seven,” but Pitt and Paltrow’s beloved Hollywood romance ended on June 16, 1997. Pitt proposed in Dec. 1996, Paltrow said yes, and they were reportedly set to marry in East Hampton, N.Y. in the summer of ’97. Of course, that never happened!

Emilio Estevez and Demi Moore

Fellow young actors Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez were supposed to get married on December 13, 1986. Shortly before the ceremony the couple announced their decision to call everything off and remain “just friends.” The next year Demi married Bruce Willis.

Jarrett Stoll and Rachel Hunter

Rachel Hunter was dumped by her fiance Jarret Stoll just two months before their August 2009 wedding. Hunter was devastated as “everything was in place for their wedding.” During the split, her rep asked the media to respect her privacy during “this extremely upsetting time.”

Alec Baldwin and Janine Turner

Alec Baldwin and Janine Turner were engaged in 1983, when they were both in their 20s and struggling to break out into show business. When the wedding was all set to go off, Baldwin broke the engagement off and Turner was devastated. “When I met Alec, I was 20. We got engaged. It was rushed, and it didn’t work,” she has said.

After slurping down a calorific milkshake yesterday, Kim hit the gym on Wednesday, sharing a sexy snap of herself with her fans on Twitter.

But the 32-year-old reality star looked far from puffed out following her bout of exercise in Miami.

Rather the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was well and truly ready for her close-up as she pouted away in a sexy low-cut top.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Enebeli Elebuwa, died at the New Delhi hospital in India after battling with a prolonged aliment. The news of his death is coming at a time when the film industry is still mourning the death of another Nollywood actor, Pete Eneh.

Despite still being shaken, Nollywood stakeholders have sent condolence messages to his family. Elebuwa was married with four kids.

President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Segun Arinze, confirmed Elebuwa’s death. “He fought gallantly. He was a great actor. We all called him Andrew but unfortunately, he has checked out. We thank the Delta State Government which stood by him. We also thank the Delta State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Richard Mofe-Damijo, for his efforts,” he said.

Richard Mofe-Damijo said he spoke to him last week and he was in great spirits and was thanking the government for taking care of him. “He told me he was much better and walking with his feet. In fact we were even beginning to think of his return. He will be greatly missed. He was a fantastic human being and a great actor. He was a gentle giant.

I was close to him and I will miss his gentle and sweet personality because he was a great man, as well as an accomplished actor,” he said.

Another actor, Zack Orji described Elebuwa’s death as regrettable. ‘‘His death is a shock. May his soul rest in peace,’’ he said.

Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, who commiserated with the family of the deceased and the entertainment industry, added that Elebuwa’s death was “painful and saddening”.

Uduaghan, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sunny Ogefere, said he could’nt believe that the efforts made by Nigerians to save his life did not yield the desired result.

Joseph Benjamin, actor and host of the popular MTN Project Fame said it was a great loss to the film industry.

“He is most respected and cherished and although we never worked together, I have the utmost and profound respect for him. He is one of the greatest and he will surely be missed. My heart goes out to his family.”

Actress Ebube Nwagbo, also paid tribute; “It’s such a sad news after all the struggles. But God knows best. It’s such a big loss to Nollywood and beyond. May his soul rest in perfect peace.”

On tweeter, Ghanaian actor, Van Vicker reacted to Elebuwa’s death :”I have worked with Enebeli Elebuwa, he was a fantastic actor, may his soul rest in peace. Nollywood has lost another great one.”

In a special tribute, iROKOtv said: “…Many people will be saddened by the death of this veteran actor, and in memory of his death, iROKOtv, the world’s largest distributor of Nollywood entertainment is making “Save Our Souls” featuring Enebeli Elebuwa, Kenneth Okonkwo, Oby Edozie and Segun Arinze, FREE.”

Very predictable Master Kardashian. Now he's claiming his tweets were not about Rita Ora...and blaming the media for assuming it was. Below is what he wrote on his twitter page, which he has since deleted. In fact he has wiped out everything he's ever written on Twitter...

Just so we are clear I never once mentioned ‘Rita Ora’ in any of my tweets or even used the word ‘LovePeddler’ and I never would. I Respect Women.

Sad that the media created negativity for a young artist new to the game that is working so hard to make it. Never mentioned any names.

I speak truth. I'm a very Real dude and everything I say I mean…But never called anyone specific a LovePeddler and said any names. You all did."

Nice try, Rob! Meanwhile, Rita Ora has explained the reason they broke up. See it after the cut...


"I'm not going out with Rob. We were close for a while, but it didn't work because I was never there," she told Glamour Magazine.

"I was like a ghost," she continued. "I used to get so frustrated with myself and then wonder why I was angry, so I decided it was best to keep it friendly -- especially at the moment, when there's so much going on."

'In 22 years, there's been nothing. I have had young fascinations but never love.

'I think it's my only weakness.
'I'm scared of letting my guard down, and if I feel in love with someone now, he'd have to try ten times harder to break it down.
