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
transplant surgeon, Dr.Yaman Tokat, with whom she had an intense
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

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.

Nicki Minaj's Blowup at Mariah Carey: Why It's the Best American Idol News Ever!

Do reality shows get more compelling after their villains are cast
out? Did any show get better after Shannen Doherty was exiled from it?
If good chemistry sells, bad chemistry electrifies.

And American Idol, home of Tuesday's Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey
judges'-table bout, just became a live wire again. Ryan Seacrest on
Minaj-Carey: "It was intense" Usually, we think of bad chemistry as
being bad--like, Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman in the Star
Wars prequels, voted worst screen couple in a poll of film fans. But
that's not bad chemistry, that's no chemistry (aided and abetted by
George Lucas love lines). On the contrary, bad chemistry makes for
fireworks--think Richard Gere triumphantly walking off with Debra
Winger in An Officer and a Gentleman, and then recall Winger trashing
the film as one of the worst experiences of her life.

Bad chemistry or good chemistry, it's all chemistry, agrees Matthew
Harrison, an acting teacher and cofounder of Actor's Foundry in
Vancouver, British Columbia. And it's vital. Flashback: Minaj calls
Carey a "legend" "That means people are connected to each other,"
Harrison says. And to the audience, too. Says Harrison: "It is utterly
fascinating to watch chemistry under play." That it is. Chemistry
experiments that go well can result in something beautiful, like
original-formula Coca-Cola. Chemistry experiments that go bad can end
in fiery explosions, like Minaj offering to pop Carey upside the head.


Both kinds work. As the ratings proved, we, the TV nation, rather
enjoyed the conviviality of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven
Tyler. Of course, we also liked it when people threw things--dirty
looks, water, etc.--at Simon Cowell. Good chemistry, bad chemistry,
it's all chemistry. So, thank you, Dr. Minaj, for putting a charge
into the 11-going-on-12-year-old Idol. Just please don't really knock
out anybody. That's a little bit too much connection.

PHOTOS: Rihanna & Chris Brown Leave The Same Hotel On The Same Night**

Chris Brown was spotted leaving Rihanna's New York hotel and the two
were later seen hanging out at the same nightclub together, just
one night after they were caught making out at a different nightclub

The two singers were photographed by numerous partygoers at 1OAK in
the wee hours of Wednesday morning getting awfully close.

Chris arrived around 2 a.m. with friends and was drinking Champagne, a
source told the New York Post.

Then, around 3 a.m., Rihanna came in with some girlfriends, and then
went directly to his table.

And it's no coincidence that because Rihanna and Chris have been
virtually inseparable over the last few days, he has broken up with
his long-time girlfriend, Karreuche Tran** -- as RadarOnline.com was
first to report!

"Karreuche finally had enough and dumped Chris for good. Karreuche and
Chris had been on thin ice for a while, but after he was spotted
getting with Nicole Scherzinger in a Los Angeles nightclub recently,
and then when reports surfaced that he had hooked up with Rihanna --
so she finally dumped him," a source close to the situation told
Radar.

Chris confirmed the breakup on Wednesday saying, I have decided to be
single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I dont
want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna.

"Id rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.
