I'm the one who left the relationship not Mariah - Nick Cannon
Nick Cannon is the one who decided to bail on his marriage not Mariah, sources connected with the couple tell TMZ.
Nick has made it clear to all involved he's deeply concerned about Mariah's emotional state and is ending the marriage for the well being of their kids. He believes the environment around Mariah is toxic and fears for his kids. We're told Nick believes his kids have already shown signs of emotional upset living with Mariah.
Our sources say Nick's MO is simple he wants to create an environment separate from Mariah that gives the kids a safe haven from the "chaos" at her home.
Nick is also telling his people he's deeply concerned about Mariah's mental health and believes her people don't care about anything but her ability to make money and pay their salaries.
And finally we're told Nick is taking a "passive" role in the divorce telling his lawyers to take the path of least resistance to end things as peacefully as possible.

Navy discharges black sailor for refusing to cut off her natural hair
This week, the U.S Navy announced that it was discharging Jessica Sims, an Africa American woman who has been a sailor for 12-years, for “failing to obey an order to cut off her natural hairstyle.”
The military has been under scrutiny for guidelines issued in March that critics believe were discriminatory toward African-American women. Those regulations “specifically forbid several hairstyles popular for black women who keep their hair natural, including twists, headbands, dreadlocks, or multiple braids that are larger than a quarter-inch.” A former U.S. Army Major, sharply criticized the regulations, noting they targeted “natural styles African American service women have been wearing for years.”

‘When we were feeding, she started shaking, then she just grabbed the bottle. She was holding it by herself. We couldn’t believe it because babies don’t normally do it that young. I’m so shocked that I have been documenting it every day. It’s unbelievable.

After his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) expired, Stephen Keshi told reporters that he is looking forward to going back to his family and facing fresh challenges.
It was later reported that the NFF was in talks with him on coming back as the coach of the national football team. Keshi’s alleged demand was better pay and a few additions to continue as coach. He was previously paid $30,000 a month. We have been waiting to hear the news that he is back, but nothing yet.
It could be because of the recent drama in the NFF which saw Aminu Maigari impeached as President and later reinstated, as well as the recent fire outbreak at the head office in Abuja.Whatever the delay is, Stephen is done waiting. Continue...

OAP Toolz opens up about the time a guy she liked broke her heart
"There was this guy I met during my final year at the University. He had just moved from Houston and didn't know a lot of people in London and after a few random conversation about course work, he asked me out. Our first date was amazing and after about a month of seeing each other a few times a week, I was almost certain he was "the one". After dancing around the issue for a week or two, I was finally brave enough to bring up the "where are we" issue. His exact words were "I really like you Tolu, but I'm not looking for a relationship right now". I had to take a moment to mentally pick up the fragments of my broken heart, then I smiled at him and said "No worries, it's okay"
