Khloe Kardashian reveals she lost her virginity at 15

Khloe Kardashian in a video posted on Kourtney Kardashian's website revealed that she was only 15 years old when she lost her virginity.

'I think it was 15?' Kourtney asked her, as the two played a game called Know Thy Sister

Khloe confirmed the age, revealing she had written it on her whiteboard, but not giving any further information.

The two then revealed that Kourtney's first kiss didn't happen until she was a little older.

Asked by Khloe if she was in 5th grade - at around ten-years-old - the mother-of-three replied with mock horror: 'What? Who do you think I am?'

When Khloe asked her '8th' it then emerged she wasn't exactly sure of her age.

'I dunno,' said Kourtney. 'I remember it being a late first kiss. But I made up for it by doing more than just kissing.'

The questioning had begun on a rather more innocent note, as the two were first asked their favorite colour.

13yr old Urhobo Girl allegedly kidnapped, forcely converted and married off by Hausa Muslim Lover in Bayelsa

A Hausa Muslim man identified as Yunusa from Kano state, has been accused of kidnapping and forcefully converting and marrying off 13 year old Urhobo girl, Ese Rita Orur pictured above.

According to The Sun, Yinusa who resides in Opolo, Yenagoa, had abducted Ese on August 12th 2015 and eloped with her to Kano and has refused to allow her return home.

Rita's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oruru, had made several visits to Kano to secure the release of their daughter but have been unsuccessful as Yinusa’s kinsmen insisted that Ese, who they now refer to as ‘Aisha’, belongs to them and that they are ready to pay the necessary bride price.

The Orurus reported the matter to the Police and the Department of State Security (DSS) and their promise to bring home Ese has remained unfulfilled forcing the parents to take the issue to youth and civil society groups.

At a press conference addressed by Kizito Andah of the Child Protection Network today February 18th, the civil society and youth groups in Bayelsa say they are ready to stage a protest and press home the demand for the release of Ese from the custody of her abductors.

That also lamented the inability of both the Nigeria Police and the DSS to secure the release of Ese. They warned against an ethno-religious crisis which the abduction and forceful conversion into Islam could trigger in Bayelsa state. Andah who addresed the press, said CPN was demanding that Nigerians prevail on all relevant authorities to ensure that Ese is released and her abductors are punished in line with the laws of the land.

3 year old boy died after his learner driver mum ran him over as she parked her car

3 year old Liam Turner was playing with his six year old sister on the passenger side of the car when inexperienced mum Lyndsay Turner, 34, got behind the wheel. She was trying to reverse the car into a parking bay, but she lost control and the vehicle shot forward and hit Liam.


Lyndsay who had no driving license  was being guided by husband Stephen, 37, but as at that time could not prevent the accident. When Liam was hit, he was caught under the vehicle, and suffered a fatal head injury when the wheel rolled over his head. He was then airlifted to hospital but was pronounced dead a few hours later. 

Neighbour Amy Jones saw the accident happen, and said she heard a terrible crunching noise when Liam was hit. She said: 

"Liam was bleeding really badly. Stephen picked him and took him in the car and took him to hospital quickly."

Norwich Coroners Court heard that tiny Liam was so short that neither of his parents could see him right next to their car.

The court also heard that Stephen and Lyndsay dashed to hospital in the car, and flagged down an ambulance they happened to pass on the way. Paramedics inside tried to treat Liam, and called in an air ambulance to airlift him to Norwich and Norfolk Hospital but poor Liam didn't survive. 

The car was inspected after the accident. The inspector said the car had no problems with it, and that driving conditions on the day were fine. 

Recording a verdict of accidental death, assistant coroner Nicholas Holroyd said: 

"Mrs Turner had extremely limited driving experience and had not driven that car before. She was not aware where Liam was and as she drove into the car parking space, and he was run over by that car causing instant lack of consciousness which he did not survive. This was an appalling tragedy and you both have my profound sympathy for ".

Prosecutors considered launching a criminal case against Lyndsay, but decided there was no public interest in dragging her through the courts.

Lottery winner who bailed bf with over $21m sued by pastor for $10m for not giving him $1.5m

For Marie Holmes, more money has definitely meant more problems. Since the 27-year-old mother of four won the lottery last year, her life has included a series of arrests and legal battles.
In February 2015, Holmes had one of three Powerball tickets worth $564 million. 
She opted for the lump sum of $127 million, which was approximately $88 million after taxes. While most people use their winnings to buy their mom a house, get out of debt and go on vacation, Marie made some very unusual choices with her fortune.
The North Carolina native made headlines and was crowned “Donkey Of The Day” by The Breakfast Club radio show after she bailed her boyfriend Lamarr McDow out of jail not once, not twice or even three times, but a total of four times. Being a ride-or-die 
checkchick allegedly cost her $21 million.

Now Holmes is being sued for $10 million. Here are the details via a Black America Web exclusive:
Pastor Kevin Matthews says he is experiencing emotional and mental distress due to her backing down from a verbal contract they had regarding $1.5 million to purchase land to build a retreat facility.

“I had to start taking more medicine for anxiety and depression due to this situation,” says Pastor Kevin Matthews.

According to Matthews, he provided prayer to Holmes and several others at her house and he casually mentioned that he has been praying for land to build a retreat center and he asked the young mother if she would consider helping out. Supposedly they both agreed to the $1.5 million although there was no paperwork or written agreement regarding their conversation.

Holmes’ attorney, Ruth Sheehan has since denied Matthews’ claims.

See the way he's smiling in his mugshot. A young man in Oklahoma has been arrested after allegedly shooting and then decapitating his grandmother and her husband. Quinton Dashawn Laster, 20, is facing two complaints of first-degree murder for the death of 59-Sharon Reed and 78-year-old James Earl Reed who were found in their Oklahoma City home.

Family members said Reed had been running the daycare out of her home for 20 years.

Senate to probe Obasanjo, Jonathan, El Rufai over Abuja land grab, threatens to send those found guilty to Kuje prison

The Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory has vowed to probe former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan as well as former ministers of the FCT and now governor of Kaduna state, El Rufai, over allegations of Land grabbing during their tenures in office.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory, Senator Dino Melaye who spoke to journalist in Abuja yesterday February 10th, said the probe will not exempt any former Minister of the FCT or President, adding that as a government of change, it was prepared to send any one found guilty to Kuje Prison.

Melaye alleged that former FCT ministers allocated green areas designed for flood drains, city buffers, recreations, urban farming, reserved land and undevelopable areas to themselves and their friends.

“With this administration of change, it is no longer going to be business as usual. Permit me to remind FCT administration again by stating that this committee will not hesitate to ensure that all administrative anomalies, misappropriation of funds or misapplication of laws as the case may be, occasioned by the past administrations of FCT, are fully addressed. This is what justice demands in these circumstances; to right the wrongs. Therefore, the committee is worried and frowns on satanic and misleading advice and recommendation to convert very important and beautiful natural endowments or features which are very scanty like the world acclaimed Maitama Hills, popularly known as Ministers’ Hills, which could serve as a tourist attraction to the residents of FCT. I want to state here again that if the bourgeois of this country need a special allocation, a new district can be dedicated to them and not destroy the beauty of the city centre, a national monument like the Maitama Hills.”he said

'World's heaviest teenager' finally walks after over 3 years of being stuck in bed

Khaled Mohsen Al Shaeri, once called the "World's Heaviest Teenager," is seen walking for the first time in years in a new video posted by the Sun. 

Shaeri lost 700 lbs after being airlifted out of his Saudi Arabian home in August 2013 on the orders of the late King Abdullah, who financed his medical treatment. As at when he was airlifted, he weighed a massive 1,345 lbs at the age of 17 and hadn't left his bed in three years according to the report by The Sun..

The young man has lost over half of his weight with a focused hospital fitness routine, and he is on track to lose more through his health program.

In 2014, Dr. Aa’ed al-Qahtani, the head of Shaeri’s medical team,told Sayidaty magazine that Shaeri’s muscle strength and heart and lung function had all improved, and his inflammation was down.

A custom wheelchair helped him start to become more mobile, and Shaeri, once called the ‘world’s heaviest teenager’ built up slowly to the proud moments on the video.

Doctors say he is now more cheerful, happy and lively compared to how he was before he was admitted.

Ciara sues Future for $15 million for calling her a bad mother

Ciara is suing her baby daddy, hip hop star, Future, for $15 million for slander and libel. She is angry at him for allegedly blasting her mothering skills and attacking her relationship with current boyfriend Russell Wilson in a bid to promote his music. TMZreports below..

In the suit ... obtained by TMZ, Ciara calls out Future for a radio interview in which he discussed a now infamous photo of Wilson pushing Ciara and Future's son in his stroller. Future said, "She probably set him [Russell] up. You letting them catch that photo. Leave my son out of all the publicity stunts."

Ciara points out several other interviews, but she's also pissed about her baby daddy's Twitter rant in January when Future said, "This bitch got control problems ... I gotta go through lawyers to see baby future ... the f***ery for 15k a month."

In the suit, Ciara says she goes out of her way to make sure Future sees their son -- and says they've had at least 19 visitations (some spanning several days) since December 2014.

Just last week TMZ got video of Future and his son in L.A. while Ciara was on vacay with Wilson. We thought it was a sign they were settling their differences, but that's clearly not the case.

Ciara believes Future's comments were said with malice. She's suing for slander and libel, wants all his nasty tweets deleted, and wants him blocked from saying anything about private family matters regarding baby Future ... in the future.
