She explained that she saw a lot of clues prior to her dad's 'coming out' that made her suspicious. she said clues like finding wigs and nail polish lying around the house gave her father away.   She told the magazine:  "It was like an investigation for a really long time. We would find little things and think, 'This isn't normal.' For a minute, we were like, 'OK, is he cheating?' And then we'd say, 'I don't think so.’” Once, Kendall ran into her dad in the kitchen when she came down in the middle of the night to get water. It was  4 a.m.  and he was dressed like a woman. She ...

The then teenage Prince William was with his grandmother, the queen, when he was woken up to be told his mother, Diana had died in a car accident. He was a 15yr old boy at the time but the 34yr old man he has become, still feels the pain.  He opened up about his grief in an emotional conversation with a mother who lost both her young son and husband within days. He said: 'The shock is the biggest thing, and I still feel it 20 years later about my mother. 'People think shock can't last that long, but it does. It's such an unbelievably big moment in your life and it never leaves you, you just learn to deal with it.' The second in line to the English throne followed in the footsteps of his younger brother Prince Harry who gave an emotional interview this week in which he revealed he sought professional help four years ago after struggling with the grief of Diana's death in August 1997.

TBoss' brother, Christopher Idowu, has replied to the accusations levelled against him yesterday by some Instagram commenters, claiming he physically abused his girlfriend in school and forced her to have several abortions after getting pregnant with his child.  Three different commenters posted the same accusations, all of them claiming they knew Christopher in Delta State University and he was guilty of battery and forced abortions. Christopher was silent about the accusations throughout yesterday and has now replied with a picture that highlights the ways to identify a rumour.  The photo contained 10 components of a rumour. The first two reads: "1. It always comes from a fake account. 2. If it comes from a private account..." LIB went searching and all three accounts that accused Christopher yesterday are either private or fake. Two of the accounts (@kay_mivwefe and @lalababyyy07) are private while the third account, @kimkyofficial, has all the cha...

It appears Drake had himself an unwelcome intruder a couple weeks ago at his home in Calabasas, but thankfully (& oddly enough) nothing was taken. According to a report by TMZ, a member of Drake's crew walked into his house around 10:30 PM on the night of April 3rd and found a 24-year-old woman in one of the bedrooms, wearing one of Drake's hoodies. Of course, the cops were called, but the woman told them she had permission to enter, which she clearly did not. She then confessed to stealing some Pepsi, Sprite and Fiji water while there, ultimately resulting in her arrest and being charged with felony burglary. As TMZ points out, it doesn't matter if $100,000 in jewels were stolen or just a couple of soda pops… if she enters illegally and takes stuff it's a felony. It's unclear at the moment how the woman got inside the house or how long she was in the there for, but one thing's for certain she didn’t get to see Drizzy as he wasn't even...

It’s been a great few days for  Man United . Heading into last weekend’s Premier League fixtures, many believed that if Man United lost to Chelsea then all hopes of the Red Devils ending the season in the top four were over. But, despite Jose Mourinho picking a surprising lineup against the Blues, Man United claimed a 2-0 win over Chelsea to give their league campaign a shot in the arm. If Man United win all their remaining games this season, they’ll earn a Champions League berth. Their destiny remains in their own hands. One player who isn’t influencing Man United’s season recently, however, has been  Anthony Martial . Mourinho left the French forward out his squad against the Blues, and it’s now clear that the player isn’t happy. Well, that’s if Samantha Helena’s most recent SnapChat post is anything to go on. So what happened? Samantha took to social media this week to post the following message in French:   You say you’re not playing b...

It was an eclectic collection of young Nigerians, 23-36 years, making a pitch for fame and fortune. They spent all of 11 weeks in an enclosure they had no control over, no phones, no radio, no television, no internet. They lived largely without interaction with the outside world except what was permitted in the tightly structured Big Brother Naija reality show. On the last day of the show one man and four women were the only ones standing out of an initial pool of 14. I call the five finalists one couple and three widows. The couple: Efe and Marvis. The “widows”: Bisola sans TTTony; TBoss sans Miyonse and Debie-Rise sans Bassey. It was a show that drew the highest viewership in Africa in recent years, viewership that ran into many millions. The success of the show derived its root from the careful choice of the contestants and the loading of the game with interesting features that tended to grab the consciousness of many young people in Africa. The ultimate winner of the show, Ef...

Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain knows there is no room for complacency against miracle men Barcelona at Camp Nou on Wednesday. The Serie A leaders boast a commanding 3-0 advantage over Barca from the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. But Luis Enrique’s men – who face a pivotal week in the season with a trip to Real Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday following on their agenda – made Champions League history in the previous round when they overturned a 4-0 deficit against Paris Saint-Germain with an improbable 6-1 win on home turf. “I don’t know whether our 3-0 lead will be enough. We have to come out fighting at Camp Nou and play like we did in the first leg in Turin,” former Madrid striker Higuain told Juve’s official website. “Barcelona showed against PSG that they’re capable of producing miracles, so we have to be on our toes. “They’ll be wary of us too, however. We’ll be looking to create opportunities to score and we’re certain that we have what it takes t...

Irina Ayupova, 36, is serving 13 years behind bars on a drugs conviction but she has something to smile about after she became the winner of this year's Miss Spring, the third edition of an annual beauty pageant which was held at an all-female jail located in central Russia. She beat fellow drug dealers, muggers and thieves to be crowned the most beautiful inmate.  Contestants first had to take part in a catwalk as judges, made up of guards, watched on. Round two saw them take part in a dance competition and for the third round, they were pitted against each other over who was best at doing impressions of famous Russian celebrities. For the fourth and final round inmates were made to walk down the runway in special costumes that they had made which had to represent the year of ecology that is being celebrated in Russia this year. Irina who is eligible for release in 2028 was crowned the winner after all four rounds and received 101 roses, a crown and a makeup set...

Atlanta based Amanda shared a new photo of her growing baby bump today and captioned it: "Bébé got mama looking thick."

Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, has filed a N2 billion lawsuit against former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode and media aide to Ekiti state governor, Lere Olayinka, for claiming he owns the $43 million found in an apartment in Ikoyi recently. FFK and Lere Olayinka went on Twitter last week to claim that the seized money belonged to Amaechi. In separate letters to FFK and Olayinka, counsel to Amaechi, Lateef Fagbemi, demanded N1.5 billion from Olayinka and N500 million from Fani-Kayode. According to Fagbemi, Amaechi has never owned a home in Lagos state. He stated that the claims by FFK and Olayinka can tarnish Amaechi’s reputation. “The story as uploaded by you is to our knowledge, blatantly false, malicious and is aimed at impeaching the credit of our client, a two-time speaker of the Rivers state of house of assembly, a two-time governor of Rivers state and current minister of the federation. Our client neither owns the house where the cash was found and your story and cl...

Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, says his office will not be investigating the N15 billion found in an apartment in Ikoyi by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) last week. Malami stated this in an interview with DailyTrust. According to him, the security agencies that found the moeny are directly answerable to President Buhari.

Caitlyn Jenner revealed in her upcoming memoir, The Secret Of My Life, that she underwent gender reassignment surgery in January 2017, almost two years after revealing her decision to transition. According to Radar Online, she also revealed that she will never have sex with a woman again, but is not counting out sex with a man. 'Of the most important things in my life, sex is beyond the bottom; it has been that way for a long time. A future female companion? Yes, I do think about that. A future female sex companion? Not happening, at least for now, and perhaps not ever.' Jenner however adds that while she has yet to feel inclined to have sex with a man, that could change after her gender reassignment surgery (now done). Maybe removing the last physical appendage of my maleness….will make me feel differently,' writes Jenner. She and ex wife, Kris divorced in December 2014 after 22 years of marriage.

A woman who was born with two sets of reproductive organs and had been told by doctors that she was infertile is now expecting a child. Krista Schwab, 32, was diagnosed with uterus didelphys, meaning she has two vaginas, one right next to the other. She was diagnosed at age 12 and has two vaginas, two cervixes and two wombs.  Because of complications resulting from her rare condition, doctors told Krista that she would never get pregnant. In spite of that, she tried to have a baby with her husband Courtney, 33, resulting in a couple of miscarriages. The couple eventually gave up hope of having a baby via a natural birth. She considered trying IVF but soon discovered she was expecting a child.  Krista is now five months pregnant and expecting a baby boy which is growing in her left womb. Krista from Washington, US, said:  "After being diagnosed with uterine didelphys at 12 years old, I knew I had two uteruses and two cervixes. But when I was 30 I found out that I also ...

The Founder and General Overseer of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has accused ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo of introducing corruption into the church. This is coming weeks after the former president cautioned church leaders to be careful in believing and celebrating every testimony in other not to end up celebrating corruption. Read  here Responding to the aggrieved comment made by the former President, Prophet Primate in a brief interview with The SUN at his church headquarters at Oke-Afa Lagos State, described Obasanjo as the founding father of Corruption who introduced it into the church. 'It was Obasanjo himself who introduced corruption into the church when he invited eminent politicians and personalities into his church in Ogun State, to donate heavily to the church. 'So, he has no moral right to condemn men of God, saying they encourage corruption,' he said.

TBoss' brother, Christopher Idowu, put up a post yesterday calling out AY for making a joke out of his sister's situation. He told AY that karma awaits him and his daughter(s) would get abused just like his sister TBoss was. However, former school mates of Christopher felt he was in no position to talk about karma as he was allegedly abusive towards his girlfriend while in Delta State University, DELSU. According to the comments by three graduates of DELSU, Christopher was in the habit of beating his girlfriend during their undergraduate days. He also compelled her to undergo several abortions, according to the claims by these guys. Christopher is yet to address these allegations. See more screenshots of their comments below.

Prince William communicated with Lady Gaga via FaceTime as part of the Heads Together campaign organised by the royals to raise awareness about mental health. The royal and the singer during the chat discussed the #oktosay film series, a series of powerful films that have been released which show people from all walks of life discussing their mental health challenges.  Prince William's call to Lady Gaga comes after Prince Harry revealed that he struggled to cope with his mother's death and nearly suffered a breakdown, yet couldn't speak up until William encouraged him to seek help.  His brother's experience has brought the issues of mental health to the top of the Heads Together agenda and William has pledged to ensure that his children "grow up feeling able to talk about their emotions". During the call with Gaga which took place across continents, with William in his London study and Gaga in her kitchen in LA, the pair discussed how opening u...

Since his split from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt has become reclusive, coming out only once in a while and each time he surfaces, he seems to be looking slimmer than before, prompting fears that he might be ill. Radar reported some months ago that Brad was spotted visiting an infectious disease specialist. Now, with his recent appearance, people are beginning to pay more attention to that report. A source told Radar that Brad is ill but will have to face his illness alone, despite being there for Angelina when she had to go through a double mastectomy and hysterectomy. Sources close to Pitt have insisted that he is doing better than ever, even though the actor looked gaunt as he was seen headed to Los Feliz art studio over the weekend. If his friends are indeed right that there is nothing wrong with him, then the only other explanation for his weight loss will be that his new look is in preparation for his next onscreen project Ad Astra, a sci-fi film which will see him play the...
