SHE USED TO BE A MAN THAT WHY I KILLED MY BRIDE !!!

A British businessman murdered his glamorous Russian bride after he
discovered she used to be a man.



Chris Collier, 40, battered wife Julia, 35, before smothering her to
death at the couple's apartment in Kusadasi, on the Aegean coast of
Turkey.

He has now has been jailed for 24 years after a trial in his adopted
country, where he ran an estate agent and his wife worked as a lounge
singer in hotel bars.

Collier, originally from Rownall, Staffordshire, was a key figure in
the Phones4U empire before emigrating to Turkey in the late 1990s.

He was one of the first salesmen tycoon John Caudwell employed when he
was setting up his mobile phone business, which he went sold for a
staggering £1.46 billion in September 2006.

After Mrs Collier's murder, detectives probed the couple's
relationship amid claims her husband 'bought' his bride on the
internet, and she had undergone a sex change.

Postings in an internet forum used by expat Brits claimed to be Collier.

One said: 'I paid for my wife and then moved to Kusadasi in my rented
apartment.'

It went on to add that the woman 'used to be a bloke'.

Speaking at the time of his arrest, Mr Caudwell said: 'Chris was one
of my first salesman when I was starting out, so I remember him well.
He was a good salesman and became a sales manager.

'It is shocking to hear he has been arrested for murder. It's shocking
to hear about any murder.'

Collier was arrested the day after the death on November 27, 2010.

During his trial, the court heard he had knocked his wife unconscious
with a hard object before smothering her.

A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: 'We are
aware that a British national was sentenced to 24 years imprisonment
in Turkey on August 6.

'We will continue to provide consular assistance to him and his family
here in the UK.'

A friend of Collier, who did not want to be named, said the couple had
been married for a number of years, but had no children.

She said: 'Chris went out to Turkey to make a new start over 10 years ago.

'Julia was just the nicest girl you could ever meet.

'She was a singer, and she used to perform at the Korumar Hotel in
Kusadasi. That is where they met.

'I found out what had happened from a mutual friend in Turkey. I was
really shocked when I heard.'

A friend of Collier's mother added: 'I know Chris's mum, she is a
lovely lady and it is a shame the family have been put through this.

'He hasn't been in England for a long time but the news of his prison
term it is still a shock to the community where he used to live.'

LADY GAGA IS A SLUT- NEW YORK POLITICIAN

Lady Gaga smoking weed and without make Up

A New York City politician has referred to Lady Gaga as a "slut."

Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro made the remark on
Monday while he was pointing to photos of the pop superstar lighting
what appears to be a marijuana cigarettes at an Amsterdam concert last
week.

The photos were displayed alongside a poster that said: "Stop
glorifying drug use in the media."

Staten Island Advance reported Molinaro as saying "This slut is
influencing many, many children." He added sarcastically, "My niece
has two daughters, 12 and 14, and they love this woman. Why? Why?"

Molinaro also condemned actors and ballplayers who he said use drugs
"as if it's nothing."

Later in the day, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer who is a
friend of Gaga's family came to the singer's defense. Speaking to the
New York Observer, he said; "Lady Gaga's work is a symbol of
individuality and artistic expression. In addition to her artistic
pursuits, she is a social justice activist and a real leader for
marriage equality in this country."

MADONNA: CALLING OBAMA A MUSLIM WAS MEANT TO BE “IRONIC”

Pop star Madonna said referring to President Barack Obama during her
concert in Washington as a "black Muslim" though ironic was
deliberate.

"The point I was making is that a good man is a good man, no matter
who he prays to. I don't care what religion Obama is, nor should
anyone else in America."

A video was posted on You Tube by audience at the Verizon Centre in
downtown Washington showing the 54-year-old singer delivering a
profanity-laced political speech about freedom during her show on
Monday; a message regarded as incoherent by James Taranto.

"Now, it's so amazing and incredible to think that we have an
African-American in the White House. We have a black Muslim in the
White House; it means there is hope in this country, and Obama is
fighting for gay rights, so support the man," Madonna said.

Barack Obama who is campaigning for re-election on November 6, is
widely known to be a practising Christian. Madonna issued a statement
on Tuesday through her spokeswoman saying her reference to Obama's
religion was facetious, after her statement has caused a stir.

"I was being ironic on stage. Yes, I know Obama is not a Muslim,
though I know that plenty of people in this country think he is. And
what if he were?

"The point I was making is that a good man is a good man, no matter
who he prays to. I don't care what religion Obama is – nor should
anyone else in America," she said.

A proven supporter of Obama, Madonna had tatted Obama's name on her
back and showed it on stage few weeks ago.

PICTURES : FRANCE IMMORTALISES ZIDANE HEADBUTT WITH STATUE

The infamous headbutt that French football legend Zinedine Zidane
landed on Marco Materazzi during a World Cup final has been
transformed into a giant statue and displayed in front of the Pompidou
Centre in Paris.

The bronze work of art, simply titled "Headbutt", was Wednesday
attracting crowds of tourists and locals who jostled to have their
photos taken in front of the five-metre (16-foot) statue.

The sculpture is by Algerian artist Adel Abdessemed, subject of a
retrospective exhibition in the Pompidou from October 3 until next
January.

"This statue goes against the tradition of making statues in honour of
certain victories. It is an ode to defeat," said exhibition organiser
Alain Michaud.

A much smaller version of the statue — which shows the two football
players in the seconds after the headbutt, with the Italian player
reeling after the attack — was previously exhibited by a New York art
gallery.

Zidane, who holds legendary status in France as a member of the
national teams that won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000, was sent off
in the 2006 World Cup final for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the
chest.

That was the then France captain's last ever professional match as a
player and he later claimed he had reacted to slurs the Italian
directed against his sister and mother.

The statue will stay in its spot in front of the Pompidou till the end
of the Abdessemed exhibition in January.

PRESIDENT'S WIFE PATIENCE JONATHAN BATTLES PARKINSON'S DISEASE

Nigeria's First Lady, Patience Jonathan, is battling an onset of
Parkinson's disease that has complicated her recovery from a surgical
procedure in Germany, several reliable sources have disclosed to
SaharaReporters.

SaharaReporters broke the news that Mrs. Jonathan was flown to a
hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany close to a month ago to undergo
emergency treatment after a botched procedure in Dubai.

In interviews with three sources familiar with Mrs. Jonathan's health
status, SaharaReporters learnt that the Nigerian president's wife is
beset by Parkinson's disease, a degenerative syndrome. The disease is
a progressive disorder of the nervous system. A medical source
described it as "a fairly common disorder that occasions degeneration
of the nervous system." The source added that the disease leads to
"progressive impairment and disorder of movement."

A friend of Mrs. Jonathan's said that the First Lady's health maladies
include anxiety, occasional memory loss and disorientation. In
addition, her blood pressure often rises to dangerous levels, forcing
her to take a cocktail of anti-hypertensive drugs.

Also, our sources said that some officials attached to the First
Lady's office described her as constantly depressed, prone to snapping
at people at the slightest provocation. "The First Lady can just get
angry at the slightest provocation and rain abuses at anybody in
sight," he said.

As happened during the health crisis of the late President Umaru Musa
Yar'Adua, the Nigerian Presidency's reaction to Mrs. Jonathan's health
condition is to be mum.

When SaharaReporters contacted a senior aide of President Jonathan on
the matter of the First Lady's illness, he sharply said, "I'm not
saying anything. And please don't mention that you spoke to me."
SaharaReporters learnt that officials of the Presidency are under a
virtual oath of secrecy on the issue of Mrs. Jonathan's health crisis.

IKECHUKWU DISCLOSES THE REASON WHY HE IS MORE CLOSER TO DBANJ THAN DON JAZZY

"I have heard a lot about my relationship with D'banj. Some people
call me his houseboy, bouncer, and the rest, but let me say this, I
have been close to D'banj since day one. The first time I saw him was
at Obi Asika's house, when he was about signing to Storm Records…and
if you're observant, you would have discovered that we have similar
features; he's lepa just like me and we have same swagger.

So we've created some kind of bond right from time which I was not
opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people that find me,
simple! Those that I am important to are those that are important to
me. I am just chilling with D'banj and now that he's making a stand
abroad, it's going to be stupid of me not to utilize the situation he
already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing business".

ELECTRICITY : NIGERIA UNVEILS BIDS FOR NATIONAL POWER PLANTS

The Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE) has revealed that about $1.62
billion (roughly 255 billion naira), was placed on five, of the six
power generation companies in Nigeria – in bids – to purchase them.
Afam Power Plc, Ughelli Power Plc, Geregu Power Plc, Sapele Power Plc,
Kainji Power Plc and Shiroro Power Plc, are the six power generation
companies in Nigeria, under the umbrella of Power Holding Company of
Nigeria Plc. Afam Power Plc was excluded from the list, because bids
for it did not pass the 75% required mark, according to the National
Council on Privatization (NCP).

Both local and foreign consortium companies have placed bids for these
plants. Transcorp & Woodrock/ Symbion/ Medea/ PSL/ Thomassen (Ughelli
Power Plc at $300million); CMEC/Eurafric Energy JV (for Sapele Power
Plc at $201million); Amperion Power Distribution Company Limited (for
Geregu Power Plc at $132million); Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited
(for Kainji Power Plc at $50.7million); and North-South Power Company
Limited (for Shiroro Power Plc at $23.6million), are bids and are
being processed by the NCP, for approval.

Nigeria has been plagued by electricity cuts over the years, but the
last few weeks have been better in more areas. The Federal Government
has resolved that privatization is the lasting solution, and this is
another step close.

WOW : HONG KONG BILLIONAIRE OFFERS $65 MILLION TO ANY MAN WHO CAN WIN THE HEART OF HIS LESBIAN DAUGHTER

A businessman from Hong Kong has offered a $65m dowry to any man who
can win the heart of his lesbian daughter.

Are you an eligible bachelor ready to marry? Can you play a
lovey-dovey and win the heart of a 33 year old beautiful woman, who
already has a same-sex loving attraction to another woman?

If you fit these descriptions, catch the next plane for Paris or Hong
kong in search of Gigi Chao, daughter of a Hong Kong billionaire.

The Hong Kong businessman has offered a $65 million "marriage bounty"
to any man who can win the heart of his lesbian daughter, a report
said Wednesday.

Cecil Chao announced the financial reward of HK$500 million after his
daughter, Gigi, married her same-sex partner of seven years in France
earlier this year. "I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The
important thing is that he is generous and kind hearted," 76-year-old
Chao was quoted as saying.

"Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted
to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work," he added.

He also rejected "false reports" that Gigi, 33, had married abroad,
saying she was still single.

Chao, who owns publicly-listed property developer Cheuk Nang, could
not be reached for comment. Same-sex marriages are not recognised in
Hong Kong, a socially conservative Chinese city where homosexuality
was decriminalised in 1991.

Chao is well known in Hong Kong's social circles and regularly appears
at public events with his latest young girlfriend.

He reportedly once claimed to have had intimate relations with 10,000 women.

I beg run fast if you can Mr Nigeria ! Next flight to Hong Kong lol

FUNNY FACT : MAN CALLED 911 AFTER DAUGHTER REFUSED TO BUY HIM BEER, POLICE SAY

Robert Hagerman just wanted his daughter to buy him some beer, but
when she refused, the Florida dad got hopping mad.



Rather than get the suds for himself, Hagerman, 56, chose to call 911
and told dispatchers that his daughter was on drugs, throwing things
and hitting him, ABCActionNews.com reported.

When police in Seminole arrived on the scene last Thursday, they
determined Hagerman was the one who lost his head. He was reportedly
under the influence and uncooperative, according to CBS News.

Hagerman's daughter was still in the house and explained to deputies
that her dad made the call because she wouldn't go buy him beer, the
Miami Herald reported. She also played cellphone recordings of her
father making false statements to the police.

Pinellas County sheriff's deputies arrested Hagerman on a charge of
making a false report of a crime.
