Kristin Cavallari Hospitalized After Car Crash

 

UPDATE: E! News has learned that Kristin Cavallari was discharged from a Chicago-area hospital yesterday after her car accident. Neither Kristin nor her husband, Jay Cutler, have addressed the accident on social media.

TMZ says police officials also arrived at the hospital to to take a report of the incident. Meanwhile, it's been a rough few months for Cavallari. In December, the Hills alum tragically lost her brother, Michael, in who went missing for several days and was later found dead in Utah.

Our thoughts are with Kristin and her family as she recovers.

TMZ was the first to break the story.

Holly Madison's family is growing!

The 36-year-old former Playboy model, Girls Next Door star and Las Vegas performer is expecting her second child with husband Pasquale Rotella, 41, her rep confirmed to E! News on Friday.

Gigi Hadid Wears a Curious Necklace—Is It a Tribute to Zayn Malik?

 

Gigi Hadid appears to be wearing her heart on her, um, chest.

While out and about in Paris Friday during Men's Fashion Week, the 20-year-old model was spotted wearing cleavage-bearing black bandeau top that highlighted a curious piece of bling—a gold chain with a pendant bearing the letter "Z"...what, or rather, who could that be?

Hadid, 20, has most recently been linked romantically to singer Zayn Malik, 23. She and the former One Direction member first sparked dating rumors when they were photographed together in November. Neither has confirmed a relationship. 

 

 

Relationship clues have been dropped sporadically. Malik posted on her Instagram page in December a photo of the two looking cozy. Earlier this month, the pair was spotted visiting apartments for rent in New York City. And Malik has even bonded with Hadid's cat, Cleo.

Hadid also appeared to pay tribute to her rumored beau with her phone wallpaper. "They want to keep their private life as private as they can," a source had told E! News recently. "They were friends first and it has turned into more of a relationship at this point."

"They are not seeing anyone else—just each other," the source added. "Gigi thinks Zayn is a great kisser and their energy together is filled with sparks."

Skylar Astin Reveals Fiancée Anna Camp Got Him His Own Engagement Ring

 

Two weeks after revealing their engagement, Anna Camp and Skylar Astin have announced more good news about their plans to wed. The actor posted a photo of his new ring—yep, his ring!—on Twitter and wrote, "It always felt odd to me that men didn't get engagement rings." He added, "Thankfully my fiancé thought so too."

Astin proudly showed off what appears to be a silver braided band on his wedding finger. Back in early January, the two Pitch Perfect co-stars shared that they were engaged in the most adorable of ways. "I asked. She said yes!!!" Astin wrote on Instagram right after the New Year as his bride-to-be flashed a massive sparkling engagement ring. Camp replied, "He asked. I said YES!!!!" These two are too cute!

 

 

And as if that wasn't enough, one week ago Camp posted a photo of her hand holding her future hubby's (hello, gorgeous diamond bling) and write, "Still on Cloud 9." Before Pitch Perfect 2 was released in theaters last summer, E! News caught up with the blond beauty and she dished on her dating her co-star.

"We're really best friends, so it's awesome," she told us. "He's definitely sweet like his character is."

Camp added, "The funny thing is, is that we never ever have any scenes together. So, yeah, it was great. We had a great time when we saw each other on set. It was awesome." Seems like it!

Inside Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth's Engagement: The Real Reason Why the Timing Is Finally Right for Them

 

They say timing is everything…and that seems to be the case for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.

E! News previously reported that the two have reconciled and are engaged once again after splitting a few years ago, and an insider is sharing why the couple's relationship is stronger now than it ever was before.

"Liam never stopped loving Miley. Liam and Miley's timing was just off the first time they were engaged, many things played into them calling it off," our insider shares. "They both needed to grow up and figure themselves out more."

 

Our source also dishes that Liam's family has been nothing but supportive of him dating the former Disney darling.

"Liam's family has always liked Miley but they supported Liam's decision at the time. They did feel that both of them were too young." The source close to the couple adds, "They are in love and it's a different time now for them."

And while the two haven't set a wedding date just yet, Miley is certainly showing no signs of holding back when it comes to flaunting her 2012 engagement ring around on social media. Between the latest selfies and her most recent outing in Malibu, the "Wrecking Ball" singer has been sporting her favorite accessory around town.

The ring isn't just your everyday run-of-the-mill stunning diamond sparkler either, it has a special meaning for the couple. According to a separate source, the couple designed the ring together after careful consideration.

"Miley specifically wanted it set in gold. She didn't want platinum. She liked the gold because it was different and unique, like her. She didn't want anything classic or generic."

It looks like wedding bells are sooner than later for these two!

Denise Richards Slams Charlie Sheen in Court Documents, Claims He Threatened Her and Their Children

 

Charlie Sheen's troubles continue.

His ex-wife, Denise Richards, has filed court documents that claim her ex-husband isn't following through with the terms of a trust he set up for his children. In the documents, obtained by E! News, Richards claims Sheen told her if she and the kids moved into the house next door to him they wouldn't be evicted. Taking into consideration his HIV-positive diagnosis and his desire to "repair his relationship with his children," Richards agreed.

But over the past few years, Sheen became hostile and aggressive, according to Richards. The Drop Dead Gorgeous star claims shortly before Christmas 2013 the Anger Management star threatened to take away his kids' presents, allegedly saying, "I'm giving all your gifts including the air hockey table to the homeless." It was then that she claims he began to threaten to evict them.

This past September Richards claims Sheen removed her and their children out of their home, forcing them to rent a house for $15,000/month. The actress is requesting the judge rule that Sheen has to pay $1.2 million toward a new home.

Richards also claims Sheen sent her and her children scathing text messages, including one to daughter Lola Rose Sheen which allegedly said, "Have a merry Xmas with your loser f--k s--t mom ... your dad is a rock star genius ... your mom is a puss wart."

Richards' rep tells E! News, "Denise is fighting for her children. This has nothing to do with her, the money is for her kids. This is about him providing for the children as he agreed to do."

But Sheen's lawyer Marty Singer tells E! News, "It is disappointing that Denise Richards always tries to use the children to get more money for HER. This has nothing to do with the extra gift that Charlie gave to his girls by establishing a trust. She has another $7 million home that was paid for from the money Charlie gave her and she wants Charlie to pay another $35,000/month for a second home and pay a down payment of $1.2 million."

He adds, "$55,000/month tax free is not enough. This matter is simply money, money, money."

Four dead in worst Canada school shooting in decade, suspect caught

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, and VANCOUVER (Reuters) - The gunman suspected of killing four people and injuring several others in Canada's worst school violence in a decade first shot his two brothers at home before opening fire at the remote community high school, a family friend and the town's acting mayor said on Friday.

Police said a suspect was arrested after the shooting in La Loche, Saskatchewan, an impoverished community about 600 km (375 miles) north of the city of Saskatoon. The town's acting mayor, Kevin Janvier, told the Associated Press that his 23-year-old daughter Marie, a teacher, was shot to death. 

He also said police told him that the gunman first shot two of his siblings at home and then made his way to the school.   Officials have not given a motivation for the shooting or named the suspect or victims.

Mass shootings are rare in Canada, which has stricter gun laws than the United States. In the country's worst school shooting, 14 college students were killed at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. A shooting in 1992 at Concordia University in Montreal killed four. 

A family friend said the teenaged suspect shot his two younger brothers before going to the school and shooting a teacher and an assistant.

 

“After he shot his two brothers, he walked back to school and he shot ... a teacher and a girl. They’re both dead. Four of them died,” said Joe Lemaigre, a family friend who lives on the outskirts of La Loche. “I know the family. Their mother worked in Fort McMurray and his grandfather went to Meadow Lake to do some shopping. That's when he shot them."

The shooting occurred in the high school and a second location, Canadian police said, adding they took the suspect into custody outside the school and seized a gun. 

Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, which represents more than 70 of the province's Indian bands, said a few students were in surgery Friday evening in Saskatoon, the province's largest city. "Everyone is still in shock and disbelief," Cameron said. "It's a very, very horribly tragic event." 

La Loche student Noel Desjarlais told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that he heard multiple shots fired at the school, which has about 900 students. "I ran outside the school," Desjarlais said. "There was lots of screaming, there was about six, seven shots before I got outside. I believe there was more shots by the time I did get out."

A cellphone video taken by one resident and broadcast by the CBC showed students walking away from the school across the snow-covered ground and emergency personnel moving in. "Obviously this is every parent's worst nightmare," said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who initially reported five people were killed. He was in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual World Economic Forum.

Among Canada’s provinces, Saskatchewan had the highest rate of police-reported family violence in 2014, double the national rate of 243 incidents per 100,000 people, according to a Statistics Canada report on Thursday.

Extra doctors and nurses were sent to treat patients in Keewatin Yatthe Regional Health Authority's 16-bed hospital, said spokesman Dale West. He declined to say how many people had been injured. “It’s really sad in La Loche today, very depressing,” said Tenisha Lemaigre, who lives in the town of less than 3,000 people and said she knew many students.

Unemployment runs above 20 percent in the area but three-quarters of working-age people are classified as retired or not looking for work, according to 2011 government figures. Residents say the real unemployment rate is above 50 percent. 

In 2014, a teacher expressed concern about violence at the La Loche school, noting that a student who had tried to stab her was put back in her classroom after serving his sentence, and another attacked her at her home.

"That student got 10 months," Janice Wilson told the CBC of the student who tried to stab her in class. "And when he was released he was returned to the school and was put in my classroom."

California governor rejects parole of Manson follower, 73

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown rejected parole for a third time Friday for a follower of cult leader Charles Manson 46 years after a series of bloody murders rocked Southern California. Bruce Davis was convicted of the 1969 slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea. He was not involved in the more notorious killings of actress Sharon Tate and six others.

Brown said that the 73-year-old Davis remains a danger to public safety, saying in his decision that the "horror of the murders committed by the Manson Family in 1969 and the fear they instilled in the public will never be forgotten."

The governor said Davis spent years downplaying his role in the family.

"As I've discussed twice before, Davis's own actions demonstrate that he had fully bought into the depraved Manson Family beliefs," Brown wrote in his decision. "He not only watched as Manson cut Mr. Hinman's face open with a sword, but held him at gunpoint while Manson was doing so."

Tate's sister Debra Tate, who spoke against Davis's parole at his hearing to represent Manson's victims, had not yet heard about the governor's rejection when reached by phone by The Associated Press.

 

"Oh God, I am so glad he did that," Tate said. "I have been sweating bullets, as you can imagine."

Tate said the consistent rejection of parole for Manson followers from governors through the years has not given her any comfort, and California's recent moves to release older prisoners have left her especially worried.

"I see it as a very viable possibility that all of them could be let out," Tate said. "None of them are secure."

Brown blocked Davis' parole twice before, most recently in 2014, and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger also previously opted to keep Davis imprisoned at California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo.

Davis is serving a life sentence after he was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and robbery. He became a born-again Christian behind bars, earned a doctoral degree in philosophy of religion and ministers to other inmates.

A message left with Davis' attorney, Michael Beckman, was not immediately returned on Friday. Beckman said previously that the Board of Parole Hearings was simply following the law when it recommended the release of a man who is no longer dangerous.

Los Angeles County prosecutors argued against his release, citing the gruesome nature of the crimes that kept Southern Californians fearful for months. They also noted that Manson's intent was to spark a race war, based on his interpretation of the Beatles song "Helter Skelter." He thought the slayings would spark an Armageddon-like war between whites and blacks that would benefit his "family" of disciples.

The governor wrote Friday that Davis has still "not explained what, other than a desire for acceptance, allowed him to suspend reality to accept that Helter Skelter was real and that he needed to contribute — in a violent way — to the beginning of the apocalypse."

Debra Tate said that she has seen many Manson family members at hearings through the years. She said that while they have sometimes led exemplary lives in the controlled environment of prison, "these are sociopaths."

She fears what would happen to them in the real world, where "the challenges of everyday life could turn them back into the same monsters they were in 1969."

Flint’s frustrations, fears evident at emergency water stations

I’m shocked that they let something like this happen,’ resident says.

FLINT, Mich. — In the parking lot of Fire Station No. 1, Katalina Crawford brings her older sedan to a crawl and waits to show her driver’s license in exchange for a case of bottled drinking water. It’s a routine the 61-year-old cancer survivor has repeated every third day for the past two weeks since Michigan emergency managers began providing Flint’s 99,000 residents with free bottled water. 

 

An unknown number of children and other residents have been poisoned by lead in Flint’s drinking water since the city — acting on the order of state managers — began drawing its water from the Flint River 18 months ago without adding corrosion-control chemicals. Authorities switched back to Detroit municipal water in October 2015 but fear pipes and fixtures may still be tainted.

Government officials, including Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, have been chastised for downplaying the Flint water issue while it worsened. On Friday, an advisory panel to the governor recommended steps the state should take to restore the city’s reliable drinking water, including hiring an unbiased third party to declare when the system is free of lead.

“I’m not going to trust the water for a long time,” Crawford said at one of five sites set up for citizens to pick up free bottled water, faucet filters and lead-testing kits. The line of cars behind Crawford’s was more than a dozen deep early Friday afternoon. Among them, Allen Parker, a 45-year-old father of three kids, ages 4, 14 and 16.

“I’m shocked that they let something like this happen when they could’ve prevented it,” said Parker, a lifelong Flint resident. “I can’t let it frustrate me because I don’t have control over it, you know what I mean? I’d be more frustrated if it had an adverse effect on my loved ones. I’m praying that that doesn’t happen — so far they seem to be OK.”

Residents are allowed to pick up one case of bottled water per household each day at the emergency distribution sites. As of Thursday night, approximately 105,000 cases of water, 79,000 filters and 21,000 lead-testing kits had been provided since Jan. 9, according to State Police Special 1st Lt. David Kaiser.

After checking Parker’s ID, a National Guardsman put the father’s daily ration in the front seat of his Kia.

“The baby drinks bottled water but she does have to bathe in it,” Parker said of his 4-year-old. “She’s had maybe a small bump or two and we wonder, is it from, you know, the drinking water?”

Parker appreciates the state’s help but is also frustrated by the unknown.

“I’m glad they’re finally trying to accommodate us,” he said. “It’s a pacifier. But how long will we have to do this? From my understanding it’s not a situation that’s gonna be solved overnight. I’m sure it’s gonna take its toll on me. And I’m hoping they come up with some type of filtration system, at least for the showering too.”

Someone Called 911 Over Kids Playing Basketball, And This Cop Responded By Throwing Down A Dunk

A Gainesville police officer handled a noise complaint about kids playing basketball in the best possible way.

For all the negative headlines surrounding police officers and community policing these days, it’s seriously refreshing when a video like this comes along and allows us to restore a little bit of faith in humanity.

 

Some presumably miserable person in Gainesville, Florida had the audacity to call the police for a noise complaint about kids playing basketball in the street recently, and the responding officer handled the call in the best way possible.

 

The person who called in the complaint must have been quite distraught when the officer showed up and — instead of being a jerk and shutting down the kids’ fun — joined in on the action, balling up with the them for about 10 minutes. In fact, even more kids came outside to play in the time that the cop was hanging around. Talk about your all-time backfires!

Eventually, the cop bows out and heads back to his cruiser, but not before lowering the rim and throwing down a dunk on the neighborhood kids. As he’s leaving, he asks the kids if they’re going to be playing around the same time the next day, as he plans on swinging by and bring some “backup” to get a game going.

That is some good policin’, folks.

Baby Drama! Beyonce Is Pregnant And Plans To Divorce

Will Beyonce be a single mother of two? As she is reportedly carrying her second child, her marriage to Jay Z is supposedly crumbling, and divorce may be looming. Get the heartbreaking details here!

Beyonce, 34, and Jay Z, 46, haven’t been seen together much these days, and it might not be just because of their busy schedules. A new report says that music’s power couple’s relationship isn’t doing so well, even though Bey is possibly pregnant with baby No. 2. Their fighting is apparently getting out of control, and poor Blue Ivy Carter is caught in the middle of all of it!

This second pregnancy — which Beyonce is already four months into, a source told Life & Style — has taken a toll on Beyonce’s temperament, and that has resulted in a toll on her marriage. “Beyonce is super moody,” the source told the mag. During an explosive fight, “Jay snapped. He yelled, ‘You’re not the boss of me!’ Her response was to hurl a cell-phone across the room, missing him and hitting a painting instead.”

Whoa, this sounds like it could be even more intense than we’d ever like to believe. While Bey and Jay have faced divorce rumors several times over their nearly eight-year marriage, the source said that things have reached a whole new level as Beyonce is in her second pregnancy, as “she wants him to be at her beck and call,” but “Jay isn’t having it.” Could this really mean the end for them?!

No matter how many issues they may be having, the insider mentioned that a divorce would absolutely crush Beyonce, especially with a baby on the way. Plus, single parenthood with a career as crazy as hers, there’s plenty for Bey to be concerned about! 

“They’ve gone through terrible times before and discussed divorce,” the source said. “But a divorce while she is pregnant — that’s her worst nightmare.” The insider added, “[Beyonce] will do anything to make her marriage work. She has no interest in having a baby on her own. The baby could truly give them a fresh start.”

Even if Jay Z and Beyonce’s love isn’t as strong as it once was, they’re phenomenal parents to Blue and have made it obvious that they love her to pieces. Maybe having another little one to love will remind Bey and Jay how much they love each other? We’d hate to see one of our favorite Hollywood families break apart!

The feud between Farrah Abraham and Nicki Minaj just exploded!

But this time, it wasn’t the Teen Mom star or the lady-rapper pulling the strings. In the debut episode of Khloe Kardashian‘s talk show, Kocktails With Khloe, guest Snoop Dogg and Kym Whitley reenacted the famous fight with wigs and all.

Whitley played Minaj while Snoop used an interesting accent to spoof Abraham. The two went back and forth reading off the tweets that had sparked the feud in the first place. As Radar previously reported, the drama began when Minaj, 33, criticized Abraham’s behavior on her MTV show, writing, “Farrah is a c*** to her mother.”

“Your mother didn’t open her legs and have that child,” the singer continued, referring to Abraham’s daughter Sophia, 6. “Be happy she’s helping! Stop talking to her like that on tv u lil c***.” When one of Minaj’s followers joked about Sophia hitting her mother during a recent episode, Minaj retweeted the message, adding: “She was like b**** go do some porn & leave gramma alone.” 

Abraham, 24, replied to Minaj saying, “Cause your a parent right? Your videos look like porn Horrible good luck being negative #Godbless busy making TV.” She didn’t stop there — Abraham took to Snapchat to share a video of Sophia slamming Minaj.

“Hi everybody, Nicki Minaj is a total loser,” the little girl said.

She also posted a caption that read, “Nicki Minaj please stop saying bad WORDS.”

In the first episode of Kocktails With Khloe, Kendall Jenner and Kardashian also both sided with Minaj.

“I just don’t really agree with a lot of Farrah’s decisions in life, so that’s why I would just say I’m on Nicki’s side,” the 20-old-model said. “I’m always team Nicki.”

Kardashian, 31, agreed: “I’m team Nicki all the way.”

Shut Up, Or Else! Chelsea Handler’s Secret Text Threat To Heather McDonald Revealed

Find out what she told her former employee.

Heather McDonald‘s ongoing PR campaign against her former employer Chelsea Handler may be coming to an end — at least if the Chelsea Lately boss has anything to do with it! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the 40-year-old A-list talk show host sent a scathing text message to her brunette nemesis on Wednesday night, warning her to keep quiet.

“She reached out to her Wednesday night and basically told her to shut her mouth,” a source close to the situation told Radar. But for now, it did not work.

Thursday morning, McDonald started her weekly podcast, Juicy Scoop With Heather McDonald, by insisting she is the victim in the whole mess.

Handler claimed she leaked stories from the set in exchange for photos placements in magazines, but she insisted, “I have never betrayed Chelsea Handler. I never sold stories to tabloids or traded them to benefit myself or get myself in them.”

“This is completely untrue and has never happened. I am an honest person,” she added in her podcast.

The feud began earlier this week when McDonald, 45, said that she lived in “100 percent fear” while working for Handler on Chelsea Lately, which ran for seven years on E! until Handler pulled the plug and decided to not renew her contract.

After Handler got word that her former co-host – who also served as a head writer on the show – was throwing some major shade her way, she fired back and said that the real reason that McDonald harbored a resentment is because she was outed for selling stories to other outlets while working for her.

But that’s not all! As Radar previously reported, McDonald joined former coworkers Jo Koy and Chris Franjola on Fairly Normal with Josh Wolf last month, where she first bashed her boss. The claims that McDonald made about Handler’s sidekick, Chuy Bravo, were shocking!

“The whole relationship on the show between Chelsea and Chuy was so wrong and so inappropriate — basically like she owned a slave or a pet, but people didn’t care because the little people were just so happy that a little person had a job, that she was a supporter of little people,” McDonald claimed prior to the New Year.

Although Handler has not yet commented on McDonald’s latest claims, and ignored them completely during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday, one thing is clear – these ladies are not laughing anymore.

Who do you think is in the wrong, Heather McDonald or Chelsea Handler? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

Heather McDonald Claims Chelsea Handler Treated Chuy Bravo Like ‘A Slave’

'The whole relationship was so wrong and inappropriate.'

Heather McDonald can’t stop talking about Chelsea Handler! The former Chelsea Lately writer got major heat for sharing her bad experiences about former boss on a podcast earlier this week, but RadarOnline.com has learned she joined former coworkers Jo Koy and Chris Franjola on Fairly Normal with Josh Wolf to bash her boss last month! And the claims she made about Handler’s little person sidekick Chuy Bravo are shocking.

“The whole relationship on the show between Chelsea and Chuy was so wrong and so inappropriate — basically like she owned a slave or a pet, but people didn’t care because the little people were just so happy that a little person had a job, that she was a supporter of little people,” McDonald claimed.

Afterward, Koy claimed that Handler asked him to be her sidekick originally instead of Bravo, but he didn’t want the job because he wanted to continue his on-the-road stand up career. Unfortunately, Handler’s reaction was less than encouraging.

Koy said, “I ended up getting a deal and I go ‘Ah Chelsea I don’t wanna, I kind of want to do this, my own thing’ and then she goes ‘you f**king idiot, you let these mother***kers tell you what to f**king do. Don’t you have a mind of your own where’s your f**ing balls.’ She goes ‘you’re never gonna do anything right,'” he claimed.

After that Koy was taken off the show for a month. McDonald also went into detail about why she gave up on trying to rekindle her friendship with Handler.

“We had a text fight. She never wanted to see me in person after that. I never was able to explain myself and I just felt like that’s her M.O. when she wants to get rid of someone,” she said. “I tried once more and I was like that’s it. I was too afraid to reach out again and get something so horrific back that it would be debilitating. I was like I don’t want to open myself up to a debilitating, mean email. I’d rather it be dead.”

Nevertheless, all members of the group insisted that they respect Handler and enjoyed their time on the show.

‘I Couldn’t Breathe!’ Porn Star Reveals Graphic, Disturbing New Details Of Josh Duggar’s Alleged Sex Attack

Danica Dillon claims the reality star choked her and spit in her face.

Danica Dillon has accused Josh Duggar of choking her and calling her degrading names during sex— but now, the porn star is revealing even more shocking details of the alleged incidents that led her to file a $500,000 battery lawsuit against the disgraced “family values” activist.

The adult film actress, 29, opened up to Hustler magazine’s April 2016 issue about the nights that allegedly left her physically and emotionally damaged. When the married father of four, 27, arrived to her Philadelphia hotel room in March 2015 after a late night at a strip club, he “walked in and instantly was like, ‘Get undressed. Get on your knees,'” Dillon claimed. “There was no intimacy, nothing.” 

“He grabbed my head and pulled me on to him and was doing a forced blowjob. I couldn’t breathe.”

She claimed he put his hands around her neck, leaving red marks, and continued forcing her to give him a blowjob. All the while, “he’s degrading me and telling me I’m worthless,” she said.

“He picked me up and threw me down on the bed and bent me over and was pulling my hair, calling me a dirty slut, telling me that I deserved it.” When she pushed him away, he “pinched” her lips together and spat in her face. 

After the “terrifying” hour and a half of unprotected sex, the mother of two wondered, “If he’s done this to me, how many other girls has he done this to? Has he murdered anybody?” She said she felt “dirty, disgusting” and sat in a hot shower for nearly an hour.

During their second sex session a month later, she claimed Duggar was gentler, but still was “verbally abusive, calling me a slut, a skank,” she said. Just as the time before, he “came all over my a** again,” Dillon claimed. 

Now, she said she hopes her former sex partner remains in his Bible-based rehab facility for longer than the expected six months. “He needs long-term treatment,” she told the magazine.

Questions raised over Nigeria's anti-corruption drive

Abuja (AFP) - Several high-profile Nigerians are facing charges as part of a drive against corruption but there are concerns the government is settling old political scores and flouting due process.

President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to recoup what he said were "mind-boggling" sums of public money stolen under previous administrations to fulfil a campaign pledge to end graft. This week, the government claimed just 55 people stole more than $6 billion between 2006 and 2013, leaving Nigeria in the lurch as its economy struggles due to the global oil price slump.

But it is former national security advisor Sambo Dasuki who has become the key figure in the anti-corruption campaign. The former army colonel is accused of looting billions of dollars that were aimed at buying weapons and equipment for troops fighting Boko Haram Islamists.

Cash is alleged to have been diverted instead to members of former president Goodluck Jonathan's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to fund his failed re-election campaign. Dasuki was granted bail last month but has been kept in custody without access to his legal counsel as he awaits the start of three trials, his lawyer Joseph Daudu told a court in Abuja on Wednesday. 

Dauda said the detention was a "brazen affront" to the judiciary and the judge agreed.

"I don't see how I can be conducting a criminal trial without the presence of the accused person," said judge Adeniyi Ademola. "You can set a dangerous precedent as it is."

 

Dauda later claimed Buhari was reverting to his old autocratic habits from his days as military ruler in the 1980s.

"He (Buhari) emphasised he was a changed man, open to democratic principals. But interfering with the court system, trying to find your own rule of law, is not good," he told AFP at his office.

"It makes the outcome suspect."

Prosecutor Oladipo Okpeseyi, however, denied any impropriety. "The federal government has obeyed every order made in respect of this case. We are not acting illegally in any way whatsoever," he said.

But Buhari's own comments about Dasuki and two other cases involving the pro-Biafra activist Nnamdi Kanu and the Shiite Muslim leader Ibrahim Zakzaky have rung alarm bells. He told reporters in December the men should be kept in custody because they had committed "atrocities" against the government -- despite none of them having been tried and convicted.

Kanu was arrested in October. He was granted bail in December but remains in secret police custody, pending a trial on "treasonable felony" charges.

 

Zakzaky was detained after a military raid on the headquarters of his Islamic Movement of Nigeria that it is claimed left hundreds dead. It is not clear whether he has been charged with any offence.

- 'Nothing to fear'? -

Buhari was voted into power in 2015 after vowing to stamp out corruption and usher in a new democratic era free from bitter partisanship. He won over sceptics by preaching forgiveness and pledged an impartial war on graft in the interest of political harmony.

"President Jonathan has nothing to fear from me," Buhari said in his acceptance speech last April. "Let's put the past behind us, especially the recent past."

But with the prosecution of Dasuki — a powerful member of Jonathan's administration -- the former head of state could yet be dragged into the case. 

"The national security advisor will normally carry out the instructions of his president," Dasuki's other lawyer Ahmed Raji told AFP. 

"You cannot talk about this matter without talking about President Jonathan."

- Witch-hunt? -

Buhari's anti-corruption zeal has been widely praised and seen as much-needed but political analyst Chris Ngwodo said "it just has to be conducted in the right way".

"Corruption will be beaten by straightening institutions, not by disregarding them," he added.

Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is casting an ever-widening net to bag corrupt officials in Africa's most populous nation and leading economy. But few charged with siphoning public funds have had their day in court and with most accused or subject to investigations being PDP members, the party has accused Buhari of conducting a witch-hunt.

Prominent PDP supporter and media magnate Raymond Dokpesi has been charged in the Dasuki case along with the party's spokesman Olisa Metuh. who appeared in court recently in handcuffs. That so many PDP figures have been arrested risks stoking tensions in a country where partisan loyalty frequently erupts into deadly violence.

"Securing actual convictions of these people, that is the real litmus test of the anti-corruption campaign," Ngwodo said.

Tyga Steps Out With Kylie Jenner Lookalike -- Find Out Who the Mystery Woman Is

Does Kylie Jenner have a secret twin we didn't know about?

The reality star's on-and-off boyfriend Tyga was spotted out with a mystery person who bares striking resemblance to the rappers maybe-kinda-always-in-limbo girlfriend.

The person Tyga was spotted with appears to be Instagram model, Val Mercado. ET confirms she is 23-years-old, and hails from a middle class neighborhood in Queens, New York.

In December, Tyga and Val were both in Paris at the same time, and even posted Eiffel Tower Instagram photos on the same day.

 

 

But the main thing we can't get over is how much she looks like Kylie!

Even setting aside their similar appearances, it's hard to miss the stylistic similarities between Kylie and Tyga's friend. While the 18-year-old has been back to dark hair of late, the light experimental tones matched with the light-colored/ off-white monochromatic wardrobe definitely hearkens back to a look Kylie was trying around last summer.

Earlier this month, Tyga was spotted out with Kylie, despite their relationship being plagued by cheating rumors.

A self-made millionaire says the single most effective way to get rich is a simple decision most people don't make

.

“If you want to be rich, all you have to do is make a decision to do something that most people don’t do,” writes David Bach, who became a millionaire by age 30, in his book “The Automatic Millionaire.”

That decision is to pay yourself first.

“What most people do when they earn a dollar is pay everyone else first,” Bach explains. “They pay the landlord, the credit card company, the telephone company, the government, and on and on. 

"The reason they think they need a budget is to help them figure out how much to pay everyone else so at the end of the month — or the year, or their working life — they will have something ‘left over’ to pay themselves.”

This mindset plagues many of us, and is “absolutely, positively financially backwards,” he emphasizes. “And because this system does not work, Americans wind up trying some pretty strange ways to get rich.”

These routes to wealth include: winning it, marrying it, inheriting it, or suing for it. But there is only one proven way to get rich, Bach writes, and it also happens to be the easiest way: “Nothing will help you achieve wealth until you decide to pay yourself first … [It] means just what it says. When you earn a dollar, the first person you pay is you. Most people don’t do this.”

Bach recommends starting simple, by putting at least 10% of your gross income into a pretax retirement account, such as a 401(k), Roth IRA, or traditional IRA.

If you’re not comfortable making a 10% contribution, it’s better to start small than not start at all. In fact, Bach started by setting aside a mere 1%. Over time, he gradually increased his percentage — from 3% to 10% to 15% — until he reached 20%.

Once you’ve decided on a percentage to contribute, make it automatic, Bach stresses. This way, you’ll never even see the money and you’ll learn to live without it.

“You’d be amazed how effortlessly you can learn to live on a little less,” he assures. “You can’t spend what you don’t have in your pocket.”

Fans of Celine Dion mourn her husband at funeral

Montreal (AFP) - Thousands gathered Friday at Montreal's Notre Dame Basilica for the funeral of Canadian pop superstar Celine Dion's husband and longtime manager Rene Angelil.

The funeral mass was televised live across Canada and streamed online for the singer's fans around the world. Angelil died January 14 at the couple's home in Las Vegas, Nevada, after a long struggle with throat cancer. He was 73. 

Dion kept vigil over her husband's remains for seven hours Thursday as well-wishers waited hours in line to view his casket and offer the grieving singer words of sympathy. She returned on Friday with the couple's three sons for the funeral mass at the basilica, the same place where 21 years earlier the couple exchanged wedding vows. 

 

Wearing a black veil, her hair pulled back, and holding her youngest twin sons by the hand, Dion marched in at exactly 3:20 p.m. (2030 GMT) as the song "320" played. She recorded that song soon after Angelil took her under his wing.

Other Dion hits rang out between liturgies and eulogies.

"We all remember Rene Angelil the conqueror of show business, the tireless manager, intelligent, talented, visionary, the one who helped Quebec radiate across the world," said Patrick Angelil, Rene's son from a previous marriage.

 

"You're a tough act to follow," added Rene-Charles, the deceased man's eldest son with Dion.

Some 2,000 invited guests -- family, friends, senior politicians and entertainers, including former prime minister Brian Mulroney and Sophie Gregoire, the wife of current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau -- packed the Gothic Revival church, its benches decorated with white lilies for the funeral.

Several singers and composers who had worked with Angelil, as well as former hockey players and poker stars, arrived early to offer their condolences to Dion. A line formed outside the basilica the night before as hundreds of people came to pay their respects to Dion, who dressed entirely in black and was often seen wiping away tears. 

 

The government of Quebec province had offered to hold a "national" funeral -- akin to a state funeral -- for Angelil. Provincial flags across the province were lowered to half mast. Montreal Archbishop Christian Lepine presided over the funeral, held in the city's old quarter. 

- 'My career, his masterpiece' -

Dion's fans were handed a memorial card with a black and white photo of Angelil on their way out of the basilica. A note from Dion written on the back of the card reassured them that she would return to the stage after pausing to grieve.

After selling more than 220 million albums worldwide, the couple had settled in Las Vegas where Dion signed a lucrative contract to sing nightly at The Colosseum. She is scheduled to return to the stage on February 23.

"I understood that my career was somehow his masterpiece, his song, his symphony to himself. The idea that it could remain unfinished would have pained terribly. I understood that if he ever left us, I should continue without him, for him," the message said.

Born in Montreal to Lebanese-Syrian immigrants, Angelil began his showbiz career as a member of a band playing yeye -- French 60s music -- called the Baronets. Later, he turned to managing the careers of other entertainers, and signed on one of the biggest names in Quebec music, Ginette Reno. The arrangement however ended abruptly in 1981. 

Just then, another opportunity arose.

At age 12, Dion had recorded a demo tape with her mother and sent it to Angelil. He was so struck by her voice that he signed her to an exclusive management contract, even mortgaging his home to finance her debut album.

"I'd never heard anything like it. For me, it was the most beautiful voice in the world," he recalled in interviews.

Angelil set out to make Dion world famous.

In 1994, when she was 26 and he was twice her age, the couple married in an extravagant ceremony that was televised live in Canada and splashed all over glossy magazines.

Rene Angelil leaves behind the couple's three children -- Rene-Charles, 15, and twins Nelson and Eddy, five -- as well as three other children from two previous marriages.
