Former model, Melania Trump. Credit: tampabay Melania Trump, wife of US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, is suing a Slovenian journalist for defamation over claims that she previously worked with an escort agency, her attorney said Wednesday. The suit, filed last Friday at a court in the capital Ljubljana, accuses journalist Tomaz Mihelic of defamation as well as making false and unverified statements against the Slovenian-born former model. The claims were published in Slovenian celebrity magazine Suzy in August and repeated in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, in which Mihelic was interviewed under the fake initials S.S. “The claim, according to which Mrs. Trump allegedly worked as an escort of wealthy men, strongly damaged Mrs. Trump’s reputation as a businesswoman and as the wife of businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump,” attorney Natasa Pirc Musar said in a statement sent to AFP.

Wole Soyinka, the Nobel literature laureate who currently lives in the US and works as a scholar-in-residence at New York University’s Institute of African American Affairs told students at Oxford University that if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States next week, he will leave the country. While giving the seminar to the college students, he said: “If in the unlikely event he does win, the first thing he’ll do is to say that all green-card holders must reapply to come back into the US. Well, I’m not waiting for that.” “The moment they announce his victory, I will cut my green card myself and start packing up."

Bill Clinton's niece, Macy Smit, isn't a fan of her Hillary Clinton's political ambition. Smit who is the only daughter of Bill Clinton‘s brother, Roger, revealed she she will vote for Donald Trump come Nov. 8. Smit's father walked out on her mum when she was pregnant with her. In an interview with Radar Online, Smit said: "Something tells me the Clinton side of the family looks at me and my mother as not good enough, but we’re hard-working! I support Donald Trump --100 percent! I have been a Democrat my entire life, but Trump is what we need right now, somebody who is going to stand up for us. I think at this point Hillary just wants it for the history books — to be the first woman president for selfish reasons. Smit added that last year, she had a miscarriage while her Air Force husband was serving in Kuwait and felt abandoned by the Clintons. She continued: “They’re not as good as everyone thinks they are. I went through some very personal thin

Smooth straight hair is something many people want, but few have it naturally. So what are the less fortunate to do? Well, it typically means we have to use heat tools like straightening irons to force our hair into submission. Unfortunately, those heat tools have a much-unwanted consequence of causing damage to our hair and so we are left with the decision of straight hair or healthy hair. But, no more. I have found some tried and true tips to get sleek and straight hair without all the damage. Read on and see how this miracle works: 1. Get off to the right start Getting straight hair starts in the shower and it all depends on the kind of shampoo and conditioner you use. Give your hair a head start and choose one that is made for straight hair. Then after you wash, gently squeeze out as much water as you can and apply a moisturizing cream or leave-in conditioner to prep your hair for smoothness. 2. Wrap it gently What you wrap your hair in is just as critical as

Egypt will float its currency in a move that is expected to see it fall by almost 50% against the dollar. The price is expected to see one US dollar buying 13 Egyptian pounds, up from the nine Egyptian pounds the central bank was trying to keep it at. The country's central bank said the move was one of a list of reforms designed to strengthen confidence in the economy. Egypt's main stock index jumped by more than 8% on Thursday. The central bank has also increased interest rates by 3 percentage points to 14.75%. The move is a key requirement of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), from which Egypt is asking for a $12bn loan over three years. Hardship Although the liberalisation should help the country to strengthen its economy, it will make life harder for Egyptians and the cost of all imported goods will rise sharply. Another reform it is facing is reducing or removing altogether state subsidies on fuel to meet IMF conditions. It has already cut subsidies o

We live in a world that is run by the powerful fuel called ambition. Whether it is focused on getting the guy or whether it is focused on getting the job, ambition remains a powerful substance. If you have it, you feel it pulsing in every nerve of your body. It can be so powerful that it can dictate your every move, your every decision and ultimately it can land you that guy you have been hung up on (believe me it is possible) or the job you have been dreaming of since childhood. If you find yourself in the predicament of either having to choose one or the other, something is out of balance and you have got to figure out what it is and how you are going to deal with it – either he is expecting you to shove your dream in a box (or boxes, if you are as ambitious as I am) or your dream is so big that it is calling for you to sacrifice your relationship with him. The latter happened to me. Although the dream turned a corner in my case, it all worked out for the better: the

The Mexican will line up for the German giants against Tottenham in the Champions League this week, having scored seven goals in 13 games this season.

In some ways, country music seems to be its own world. Country musicians have their own award ceremonies , music festivals and even their own television channel . Though country may be niche, its listeners' fervor is well-known. The hooting-and-hollering, cowboy boot-wearing, beer-drinking fans the genre is famous for have helped shape its unique culture. With this in mind, PrettyFamous , an entertainment visualization site by Graphiq , crunched the numbers to see which country musicians have been the kings and queens of their genre. To determine the most famous country musicians, PrettyFamous ranked each artist by his or her "Country Musician Score," a score from 1-100 which accounts for the following: The number of Country Music Awards (CMAs) a musician has won The artist's Wikipedia page views over the last 30 days The Wikipedia page views of the band that the musician was/is in over the last 30 days (where applicable) The Wikipedia page views of

Just like a scene out of an action Hollywood movie, a teenager plunged 17 floors from a high-rise apartment in Russia – and survived after landing on the roof of a VW Golf. Marina Lebedeva, 19, fell from the block of flats in Moscow after a quarrel with her boyfriend, according to reports. An eyewitness said he heard the teenager screaming as she fell around 180ft and then saw a body on the roof of the car. ‘She rolled off the roof and onto the ground,’ said the janitor. He went to help and asked a delivery man to call the emergency services. Hospital officials say she suffered multiple fractures and head injuries in the 6.30am fall from a balcony. She is in intensive care. It is still unknown if she jumped or if she was pushed. A police source said investigations are still underway. The car is deemed a write-off and the roof was crushed by her fall, Daily Mail reports.
