Photos: Kim Kardashian spotted in Paris with baby daddy, Kanye West

Kim Kardashian left her family in Greece where they are holidaying to go join her beau in Paris after he sent a private jet to pick her up.

Jason Collins ex-fiance of 8 years had no idea he was gay; speaks

Jason Collins dated Carolyn, a '6''6' female basketball star for eight years and even proposed to her. In 2009, a few months to their wedding, Jason called it off and ended things with her. Carolyn told TMZ yesterday that she never once suspected that Jason was gay while they were dating and only found out this past weekend when he revealed everything to her before coming out to the world and also told her his homosexuality was the real reason he ended things with her in 2009. Carolyn told TMZ:
"It's very emotional for me as a woman to have invested 8 years in my dream to have a husband, soul mate, and best friend in him. So this is all hard to understand."
"I care about Jason tremendously and only want the best for him. I want Jason to be happy for a lifetime and stay true to who he really is, inside and out."

Pros and Cons of wearing high heels

magaotewublogCons of Wearing Heels
High heels have been present in history since 1500′s when they were footwear for men. Gradually (just the way women do) we took over this trend from guys. Though it was used mainly by butchers to keep their feet away from blood on the ground, women turned this piece to a fashion statement (how awesome are we!)

Heels now come in various sizes and designs. Think of the most bizarre designs, i’m pretty sure there would be something out there like that. But despite the fact that this fashion statement has changed the lives of women around the world, it does have it’s faults.
A new study has shown that making poor decisions about footwear today can result in a high risk of foot problems in the future.

What to do in case of rape - From Project Alert

Recently, Project Alert, a non-governmental women's rights organization, has been getting calls from people all over Nigeria reporting rape and asking them what to do. The organization decided to write an article that can guide people on what they can do in case of rape. See the article below...
“My friend just got raped by her tutorial coach, what do we do?”
“I was raped by my neighbour, I told my mother but she refused to believe me. What do I do?”
“My daughter was raped so I shaved her hair and beat her up so that it won’t repeat itself and no rapist will be attracted to her”
These reports are just less than 1% of the cases we have to deal with everyday on issues concerning rape. From our experience we have realized that many people are still ignorant about what to do in a rape situation. People say there is a rape epidemic in Nigeria but the reality is that rape has always lived with us since time immemorial; we are only witnessing an increase in the reporting of rape cases.

(If you missed it, read the story HERE)

According to people close to Foluke, she and some family members have contacted their lawyer to sue Bukola for character assassination. Bukola will soon appear in court to prove that Foluke indeed used diabolical means to obtain Kayode Salako.

Bukola told an Encomium reporter this week that she's not bothered about a lawsuit and is waiting to get the petition from Foluke's lawyers. She said she still feels bad for introducing Foluke to Kayode because the introduction was for Foluke to get financial help from Kayode and not to take him from his wife. "I'm not bothered about a lawsuit though Kayode has sent a threat message to me that we would meet in court. I'm more bothered about Kayode's wife. I hope she forgives me" She said.

Washington Wizards center Jason Collins made history by becoming the first active player from any US professional sports to publicly reveal he is a gay man. He came out as gay in the new issue of Sports Illustrated. In the self penned article Jason writes,
I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay. I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand,"
