Latest : Bin Laden movie to premiere in US ahead of election

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A big-name Hollywood fundraiser for Barack Obama
is releasing the first feature film about the raid that killed Osama
bin Laden two days before the US presidential election. "SEAL Team
Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden" is distributed by Harvey Weinstein,
the respected movie mogul who hosted the president at a
celebrity-studded fundraising event in New England last month.

In a press release, the National Geographic Channel said it would
premiere "SEAL Team Six" on November 4 after its president Howard
Owens and Weinstein discussed "the insight the film is sure to evoke
in all Americans."

The film — directed by John Stockwell and produced for theatrical
release by Nicholas Chartier, who produced the Oscar-winning war film
"The Hurt Locker" — will then go onto Netflix movie screening website.
In a trailer posted online Friday, characters are heard saying "We're
going to be the team that takes out Osama" and "the president of the
United States is going to be staking his presidency on this call."

Obama personally gave the green light for US Navy SEAL commandos to
target Bin. Laden's hideout in Pakistan on May 2, 2011 in a daring
night-time raid that killed the Al Qaeda leader responsible for the
9/11 attacks.

"This portrayal of the events that took place that night is moving, to
say the very least," said Weinstein in the National Geographic Channel
press release. "I anticipate audiences will be as captivated as I was
from the beginning to the end," he added.

"And I'm extremely proud as an American citizen to play a role in
making sure this stunning portrayal over very recent American history
is available in as many homes as possible."

Opinion polls had put Obama, gunning for a second White House term,
ahead of Mitt Romney prior to a televised debate
Wednesday in which Romney came out the victor in the eyes of most
political analysts.

Weinstein, executive producer of films as diverse as "The English
Patient," "The Artist" and the most recent "Rambo" movie in a
filmmaking career dating back to the 1970s, is a well-known supporter
of the Democratic party.

His exclusive Obama fundraiser in August at his seaside compound in
Westport, Connecticut was attended by about 50 people, the Hollywood
Reporter trade journal reported. Tickets cost $38,5000 each.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Wear His And Hers Hearts Because They're So in Love, or Whatever

When we were in high school--did we ever tell you this? Too bad,
because here we go again--there was this couple. Popular kids, lots of
money, totally into each other and they used to call each other first
thing in the morning and coordinate their outfits.

Like, one day they showed up for homeroom wearing his 'n hers jackets
and ties. We don't remember anyone else noticing, but we always
admired that type of obliviousness.

Cut to 2012, and it looks like somebody's been burnin' up those early
morning mobile minutes. By the time Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez
showed up for a date at a trampoline park (?!) Thursday, they were
both, almost literally, wearing their hearts on their sleeves. We're
not sure why Biebs had to wear snow pants and a ski cap, because it
was, like, 75 degrees yesterday.

We're also having an amazing time imagining Selena tearing up every
trampoline in the place in those boots and then getting a bill for
like $20K in rubber damage, which did not happen...that we know of.
But we will make one admission: We do think Selena's sweater, as
ironically torn as it is, is adorable, and it's by Wildfox Couture and
it's...wait, it's $235? Geez, love really does hurt.

J MARTINS -“MAY D IS A PROPER WARRIOR BOY”

In an exclusive interview with Emma Emerson of Golden Icons, J Martins
shares his thoughts on several subjects including the Mo-Hits breakup,
his long-time musical friends/partners "P-Square", whom he calls
family, and also touched base on several other artists including kids
on the block, Davido, Wiz-Kid, and May-D.

As if he had taken a peep into the future and seen what's to come, the
singer's choice of words as regards May D are just phenomenal in this
interview as it was actually recorded before May D was dropped from
Square Records label. Here's what he'd to say of him:

"…like May D, he's been through this to that, you know…. He is a
proper warrior boy, basically…. He's been trying to do music, and
there is nothing he hasn't been through… He's worked with this….
served this person… served that person.. but, then as God will always
have it, he always bring across the kind of people you need.. Now it's
left for you to take advantage of that.. or not to even recognize the
fact that this is why this people are here."

In a general assessment of the three young musical stars who are
making waves presently that is 'Davido, Wiz-Kid, and May-D', J Martins
says: " They've done well for themselves, and you also have to
understand that those guys have paid their dues.. They didn't just
sprinkle; they've been in the music industry……."

Speaking further, he says….. "But I see 3 of them as cool headed/great
guys in the Nigerian music industry, and they are mostly welcomed, but
again, I will also say.. time will tell too… because it's one thing to
have good hits the first time, and it's another thing to keep having
the hits after the years down the line".

LATEST : MAN JAILED AND GIVEN 600 LASHES FOR ASKING FOR FACEBOOK SEX

A Saudi court sentenced a man to five years in prison and ordered him
lashed 600 times after he was caught offering his body on Facebook.

The Gulf Kingdom's religious police seized the man in the eastern town
of Dammam after receiving a tip off from a Saudi man in the same city.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention
of Vice arrested the man after raiding his address mentioned on his
Facebook page.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, was arrested after a Saudi
national alerted authorities about the posting of "an indecent
proposal to offer himself for sexual acts" on a Facebook account. The
man admitted that he had made the sex proposal via Facebook.

Comments online were unanimous about the "need to punish the man for
going public with his vices."

"I cannot believe that he has done this and he is supposed to be a
mature person in his 30s," Amer wrote. Om Muhannad wrote of how
shocked she was by his proposal.

"I have always had concerns about teenagers, and now I read about a
man in his 30s getting into such acts," she wrote.

However, Abu Khalid wasn't quick to condemn the man as he believes the
man needs help.

"It is a serious issue and the man needs help. Let us pray that he
overcomes his condition. It is very wrong to condemn him. We have to
be careful because someone in the family could also be afflicted one
day," he wrote.

Mohammad Abu Adel said that people should not be quick to condemn the man.

"He may have mental or psychological issues. Do you seriously think
that someone with a sane mind would do this? Please do watch what you
post," he commented on the news site.

Saudi Arabia, bans deviant sexual behaviour and its courts punishes it
with corporal sentences. Whether the man needs help or not, he will
serve the complete duration of his sentence and get his lashes.

Celebrity Disaster: Chris Brown Hooking Up With Rihanna Is 'A Disaster In The Making'

Chris Brown and Rihanna are no longer making any attempt to hide their
burgeoning relationship, but friends of the volatile pair say the
decision to rekindle the relationship is a disaster in the making.

"Chris and Rihanna just love the drama. They know their fans don't
support them getting back together, and that it's a terrible PR move
since Chris was convicted of beating Rihanna," a source close to the
situation tells Radar. "However, this is what Chris and Rihanna thrive
on. There are still major trust issues that Rihanna has with Chris,
with good reason, he was hooking up with her while he was still dating
Karrueche. Chris and Rihanna back together in any capacity is just a
disaster in the making."

As we previously reported, Karruehce dumped Chris after he was spotted
getting cozy with both Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls and
Rihanna.

"Karrueche was very patient with Chris and never nagged him about what
he had been doing whenever they were apart," the insider adds. "She
never went through his cell phone but she suspected for a long time
that he had been cheating on her, she just never had the proof. They
are both young, but she just couldn't tolerate being publicly
humiliated anymore. The relationship was tumultuous and filled with
drama and she just had enough and wants a healthy relationship."

Meanwhile, Brown released a statement on Thursday: "I have decided to
be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I
don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna. I'd rather
be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.". Culled from

Angelina Jolie might need a liver transplant

The Californian actress Angelina Jolie, could be suffering serious
health problems as a result,according to In Touch magazine, that might
have exacerbated the disease hepatitis C was diagnosed in 2007.

Turns out, oddly enough the Hollywood film stars are also human
beings, living on earth and suffer misfortunes such as the actress
Angelina Jolie passing through one of the worst moments of her life
with the worsening of the disease hepatitis C.

Angelina was reportedly diagnosed in 2007 infectious disease that
seriously affects your liver to the point that urgently need a
transplant. How serious should be the situation that is happening
couple of Brad Pitt, Angelina although neither confirmed nor denied
the news that both actors have had to delay their marriage to address
the health problems of the protagonist of Tomb Raider.

Already in the time Angelina Jolie was in mid-September, as United
Nations ambassador to different countries to see first-hand the
refugee camps in the Syrian population fleeing the war,it was noticed
that her face was not the usual and she was seen with large shiners,
extremely pale skin and several kilos less.

The actress took was in Ankara, the Turkish capital, to visit an organ

conversation in which Angelina asked very concerned to know the
reasons for her constant pain headache, weakness and lack of energy:

"They was told me that I will die if don't a liver transplant. is it
so bad?". A lapidary enough question to more than one worry about this
situation. If this were to occur transplant, the actress
would have to change lifestyle since it would have to lead a quieter
life and take on a daily basis, a number of drugs to lead a healthier
life for her transplanted organ.

Although she tries to maintain a public image of serenity only
commenting "I had a tough time,dark, and I survived" actress and the
family in general it must be going very badly. Although
certainly not lacked the support and love of her family, her friends
and all her fans.
