Bill Cosby's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was vandalized with the words "serial rapist."

This isn't the first time he's had his star attacked -- in 2014, someone defaced it with the word "rapist."

The Cosby Show star has been accused of s#xually assaulting 60 women. In April, the actor was found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault during a retrial for his January 2004 sexual assault of Andrea Constand.

He could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Celebrities / How My Dad Sent 50 Policemen To Arrest Me During My 1st Show -davido (video) by Xquisite360: 1:55pm On Sep 05, 2018
Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke professionally known as Davido, revealed how his dad sent 50 policemen to arrest him and his promoters during his first ever show.
In a recent chat with The Breakfast Club, Davido revealed some unknown facts about the early stages of his career.

One of the interesting facts was when he mentioned how his billionaire father sent 50 police officers to arrest him while he was having his first show as a music artiste.

It's no new information that Davido's dad was not in support of his music dream initially, but many are unaware that his dad went to some extreme to frustrate the plan of his son whom he tagged unserious at the time.

According to him, his father was extremely angry with him for leaving school to do music, which prompted the arrest of his girlfriend, manager and also his promoter at the show. He evaded the arrest by scaling the fence.

Sports / First Time In 11 Years, Lionel Messi Excluded From FIFA Men's Player Of The Year by Xquisite360: 8:09pm On Sep 03, 2018
Argentina football superstar, Lionel Messi did not make the shortlist for FIFA’s men’s player of the year award, losing out to Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Mohamed Salah.

For the past 11 years, Barcelona and Argentina forward, Messi had featured in the top three consecutively. He was runner-up in the prize in 2007 and 2008 before winning the title for the first of five years in 2009.

Portugal and Juventus forward Ronaldo, like Messi, is a five-time winner, and has reached the top three alongside Croatia and Real Madrid midfielder Modric and Salah, the Egypt and Liverpool forward.

Messi’s subsequent wins came in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2015, while Ronaldo won the title in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017.

The award was first introduced as the FIFA world player of the year prize (1991-2009), before becoming the Ballon d’Or (2010-15) and subsequently part of FIFA’s ‘The Best’ awards.

Sports / Modric, Ronaldo & Salah Nominated For FIFA Men's Player Of The Year Award by Xquisite360: 6:57pm On Sep 03, 2018
The trio who had a spectacular season with their club sides, were all involved in the 2017/2018 Champions League final.

Portuguese football star, Cristiano Ronlaldo together with Luka Modric and Mohamed Salah have been shortlisted for FIFA Men's Player of the Year award.

Ronaldo and Modric both helped Real Madrid to Champions League glory prior to the former's move to Juventus, with Salah scoring an incredible 44 goals in all competitions for Liverpool.

That means that there's no place in the final three for Barcelona sensation Lionel Messi, despite his exploits in helping the Catalan giants win the Liga title last season.

Sports / Finally! Usain Bolt Makes Football Debut In A-league (photos) by Xquisite360: 7:41am On Sep 01, 2018
Former Olymic runner and the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt made his debut as a professional footballer with A-League side Central Coast Mariners.

Bolt who is currently on trial with the Australian club, came on as a sub in the 72nd minute of a friendly match against a Central Coast select side with the Mariners already leading 6-0.

A double from Jack Clisby plus goals from Peter Kekeris, Michael McGlinchey, Mario Shabow and Josh MacDonald allowed Bolt to come on under little pressure.

Though the opposition did score from a free-kick not long after he came on, Bolt was in the thick of the action as he was deployed on the left wing.


While there were a few heavy touches from the Jamaican, he was getting himself into some dangerous positions - twice denied headers from close range and was only inches away from a tap-in after 90 minutes.

It wasn't all smooth sailing for Bolt however, who was forced to take off a golden necklace a few minutes after coming on and was sweating profusely as the full-time whistle went.

There's clearly still plenty of work to do for the 32-year-old if he is to earn an A-League contract, but time is on his side, with the Mariners vowing to give him as long as 12 months to get him up to speed.

The popular Nigerian blogger who is currently expecting her first child, made the announcement on her blog on Wednesday night.

Announcing on her blog, Linda Ikeji wrote:
“I personally wanted to let everyone know that Theo Ukpaa, who was Head of Programmes at Linda Ikeji TV, is no longer a staff of the company. His job with my company was terminated on Monday, August 27th, just a day after I read the heartbreaking story of Emilia Samuel.

“The general public is therefore advised not to transact any business with him in the name of Linda Ikeji TV, as anyone who does it, does so at his/her own risk.”

Celebrities / I Met My First Love At Age 13 - Simi Reveals by Xquisite360: 10:36am On Aug 30, 2018
Popular Nigerian Songstress, Simi has disclosed another interesting revelation about her love life. Simi revealed how she met her first love when she was just 13.

The singer told The Sun News, “my first love? I met him when I was 13 and in SS1. I was just about to turn 14 and he just came to my school.

How do you really explain that as a child? But it did happen, and he left my school after a while, so we drifted apart. Then we met somewhere again. We drifted apart again and then that was it.
Simi went on to admit that she is currently in a romantic relationship with someone she hopes to eventually build a family with.

She believes that should naturally be the outcome when one is emotionally invested in a love affair. Well, I hope he is the one because I don’t think relationships should just be for leisure. I can’t really speak for anybody but for me.

If I am giving you an access to that part of my life then it has to be worth my while and worth his while as well. But I can’t force it though, if he is the one, fine and if not, fine, she said.

Investment / MTN To Refund $8b As CBN Slam Fines On Four Banks by Xquisite360: 9:51am On Aug 30, 2018
Telecommunications giant MTN Nigeria is to refund the sum of $8,134,312, 397.63 it illegally repatriated to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the apex bank revealed this yesterday.


The CBN said it had imposed N5.87 billion sanctions on four banks, which are to refund $8,134,312, 397.63 for “flagrant violation of extant laws and regulations of Nigeria, including the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1995 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Foreign Exchange Manual, 2006”.

So far, the telco has paid N165 billion out of N330 billion fine, representing 60 per cent of total payment, according to the CEO of NCC, Prof Umar Danbatta.


CBN’s Director, Corporate Communications, Isaac Okorafor, in a statement in Abuja, said the actions of the apex bank became necessary following allegations of remittance of foreign exchange (forex) with irregular Certificates of Capital Importation (CCIs) issued on behalf of some offshore investors of MTN Nigeria Communications Limited and subsequent investigations carried out by the apex bank in March this year.

The four lenders also came under the sledge hammer of the CBN for violations of extant forex regulations. The lenders are Standard Chartered Bank, Stanbic-IBTC, Citibank, and Diamond Bank.

Figures obtained from the CBN yesterday indicate that the highest fine of N2,470,604,767.13 was slammed on Standard Chartered Bank. Stanbic IBTC Nigeria was fined N1,885,852,847.45. Citibank Nigeria was penalised N1,265,541,562.31. Diamond Bank was directed to pay N250 million.


The apex bank’s investigation revealed that on account of illegal conversion of MTN shareholders’ loan to preference shares (interest free loan) of $399,594,146.00, $8,134,312,397.63 was illegally repatriated by the telco.

Okoroafor said investigations by the CBN took a while in order to carry out a thorough inquiry and give fair hearing to all parties involved. He advised all banks and multinational companies to adhere strictly to the provisions of all extant laws and regulations in their forex transactions. He warned that failure by the management of banks and companies to abide by existing guidelines would be appropriately sanctioned. Sanctions may include denial of access to local forex market.

Nollywood actress Uduak Akrah is one of the top movie star doing fantastically well. In this latest interview with Adaeze Amos, the UNILAG graduate who also works as an event planner said boldly she nurses no fear on what marriage holds for her. She also touched on other issues including the problem of high divorce rate currently facing the Nigerian movie industry. Interview excerpts below:


What motivated you into acting?

Watching movies, seeing other actors and actresses doing different things excited me. I was always looking forward to it. I wanted to be like one of those people someday. From secondary school, I noticed that I liked acting and everything that had to do with it.

Were you acting in secondary school?

Not really, because I was a bit shy. But I was singing when I was in school. Till date I love to sing. I’m in my church choir.

Are you thinking of releasing an album as most of your colleagues are doing?

Not really! That’s not in my mind right now.

Haven’t some roles you’ve interpreted run contrary to your faith?

Acting is all about make-believe and it is my job. If I’m given a role, it’s my duty to bring it out perfectly and convince the audience. It’s just the way a banker or a lawyer is doing his job that I’m also doing mine. It doesn’t have anything to do with the real me or my faith.

Can you take up roles that would do with nudity?

Never! Because I think if I want to pass any message across, I can do that without necessarily going nude. When you expose your body, what message are you passing across? Even if the person is a prostitute, does it mean you have to see the person naked before you can pass the message that the fellow is a prostitute? I don’t need to go nude to pass the message. Our society doesn’t permit that. So, it’s not fashionable to act nude. You only make fool of yourself if you do that.

Some have said if the pay is good, why not?

I won’t do that o! I’m an actress with a difference. I have reservations and for the fact that I’m acting doesn’t mean I should go crazy. For me, I cannot. Well, people have guts. They can do some things. ‘My own guts never ‘reach that level o!’ I’m not that kind of a person and, again, my faith wouldn’t permit me to do it. In fact, I won’t even think of it because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. So, why would I expose it to the world? My body is meant for my husband.


How about romance roles?

Well, to an extent. I can’t go all the way. As I said I have reservations.

Don’t you think that is why you don’t get so many roles?

Yeah, you are right because I’m not crazy about stardom. I just love what I’m doing. I even prefer to act on stage. I love being on stage a lot because that was how I started. Stage acting is even more difficult. That is when you know the real professional.

What makes your day?

Listening to music, worshipping God make me happy. When you want to unwind, what do you do? I go out, watch movies, hang out with friends and catch a drink somewhere.

Do you take alcohol?

No, but I could take red wine. It shouldn’t be too alcoholic because I don’t like anything that makes me tipsy. I just stick to what I can stand.

What about smoking?

No, I don’t. I tried it once in one role I took up but it wasn’t working so, they yanked it off. That was some years back. The director didn’t insist; if he had, I would have done it better. I don’t think it was necessary for that particular role, if it was, I would have tried to bring it out well.

What is that habit you have been praying in your closet to change?

I don’t have any habit at all.

You mean you don’t just have one?

Well, since you insist, the only habit I used to have was shouting whenever I was upset. I would shout loud because I believed that was the only way I could express myself. Even when people reminded me to calm down, I would say no, leave me alone so as to show the person how upset I was. A lot of my friends were complaining because of the way I used to shout whenever I was upset. But after a while, I had to start working on it. I think now, I’m getting better. What was childhood like?

Were you born with a silver spoon?

I was born into a normal average home but I had the best in terms of schools and toys. I attended a federal school in Gboko and you know federal schools were really the best then. I lost my mum while I was in secondary school. That motivated me to give my life to Christ. Having a relationship with God made it easier for me to get over that shocking experience. It made me a better person too.


What was your dad’s reaction when you started acting?

He didn’t have a problem with it at all. My dad is the kind of man that allows you to do whatever you want. Anything that makes you happy, he encourages you to go ahead as long as it doesn’t tarnish the image of the family. My father is in support of my acting career.

Cleavage-flaunting tops are in vogue, do you wear them?

No. I may wear them unintentionally. There are some things you buy and by the time you put it on, you discover some parts of your cleavages are showing. For me, I try my best to adjust such wears because I don’t want to flaunt much. I could flaunt cleavages but I don’t overdo it.

Are you single?

Yes, I am.

How do you feel about the high divorce rate in Nollywood?

It’s touching, really. I think what is causing it is because a lot of them don’t know what marriage is all about. They think marriage is all about name and status. Some feel ‘oh let’s be among the married women and feel like them or feel like married men’. That is why after a while, it parks up. That’s not God’s plan for marriage. If an individual would understand what marriage is, he/ she would do everything for the marriage to work. You would not rush into it because if you do, you would rush out of it. You need to know what you want and let your man know what you want. The foundation and reason for getting married should be right. A lot of people go into marriage because of beauty.

When you are set to marry, what kind of man would you go for?

I would marry a man with a vision. He may not be rich but he should have potentials. Even if the person is rich, I need to know what he does for a living.

Are you scared of getting married because it could crash?

I see my marriage as a success already, so I don’t need to nurse any fear. Whatever it is, I know God would give me the best and I’m going to work it out. You could have the best and use your own hand to spoil it: with your attitude. I will pray to get the best man. I have started working on myself to be a good wife. I have started working on my temper. I no longer rave when I’m angry, I now try to be quiet.

What if you end up marrying a man that will punch you, a bully?

No, I would run for my life. That is why courtship is good. If I notice it while courting him, I won’t marry him. I would come out of it. I had a friend at a time; he was asking me out, and I went to see him once and I came late. Something happened. He was really upset. He shouted at me that I kept him waiting. And because I didn’t like anybody shouting at me, I turned my back and I was about walking out, he pulled me back and said what rubbish, why should I walk out on him. That was a good sign to call it off and I did. But the guy I’m dating now is always patient to wait. I left the other one because that was a good sign that in future such a guy can beat me, so I ran. Some ladies would remain in such a relationship hoping to change him. No adult can change

In the The thirty-three years we shared together, he raised me, taught me, corrected me, comforted me, encouraged me, and supported me in all things.
He loved me, and I love him. He taught me how to live. His love and his care, ever present, always unfailing, took me from a girl to a woman- and he showed me what it is to be a man."

"All that I am is thanks to him. Now that he is gone, the task of my lifetime is to live up to his example, his expectations, and his love," she continued. "My fathers passing comes with sorrow and grief for me, for my mother, for my brothers, and for my sisters.

He was a great fire who burned bright, and we lived in his light and warmth for so very long. We know that his flame loves on, in each of us. The days and years to come will not be the same without my dad- but they will be good days, filled with life and love, because of the example he lived for us."

"Your prayers, for his soul and for our family, are sincerely appreciated," the statement concluded. "My father is gone, and I miss him as only an adoring daughter can."

Female Chinese footballer, Wang trends after scoring a total of 9 goals in 29 minutes, that's a goal in every 3 minutes.

Wang earned that nickname from Chinese fans and media when after coming off the bench in a 16-0 demolition of Tajikistan on Monday at the Asian Games in Indonesia.


The forward has found the net a total of 11 times, netting in the 7-0 opening victory over Hong Kong and adding a soaring header as China’s women beat formidable North Korea 2-0 on Wednesday to top their group and make the quarter-finals in style.

China’s free-scoring women, yet to concede a goal, are being feted back home and 28-year-old Wang, in particular, is making headlines for her astonishing prowess in front of goal.

There have been tongue-in-cheek suggestions that she could be the answer to the goal-scoring problems of the Chinese men.
