Halle Berry's Fiancé Olivier Martinez's Restaurant Under Attack By State Regulators

Olivier Martinez has more to worry about than the swollen hand he got
in his fight with Halle Berry's ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry.


The French actor is part owner of the Miami restaurant, Villa Azur,
that opened last spring with great fanfare.


But a routine state inspection on November 16 recorded so many
violations, the very idea of eating there might make you sick.


Inspectors found 13 violations marked critical or likely to directly
contribute to food contamination and illness, according to the website
of the states Department of Business and Professional Regulations,
reports The Miami Herald.

Another seven violations were deemed noncritical.


Among the critical violations, says The Herald's Gossip Extra: fish
served raw without having undergone parasite destruction; food thawing
in standing water; cutting boards on the floor; food stored on the
floor; and staff handling ready-to-eat food without gloves.


As Y!Online.com reported, Olivier and Aubry got into a brutal brawl at
Halle's home on Thanksgiving.

Ini Edo speaks on divorce, N600m largesse

Nigerian Top Actress, Ini Edo-Ehiagwina, is currently enmeshed in
controversies about her marriage and an alleged largesse from the Akwa
Ibom State governor Godswill Akpabio.


Not mincing words and obviously angry, the actress spat fire at those
paddling untrue stories about her.


She said, "As a rule, I don't reply every talk or report about me, but
these recent ones are crazy and baseless. I don't know where they got
their information that my state governor offered me N600m to build an
art or film academy in Uyo.


"This is just another work of mischief makers, who keep troubling
celebrities. To put the records straight, my state governor has not
offered me such money to build a film academy in Uyo (the Akwa Ibom
State capital), as was falsely reported.


"As for the other wicked rumours that I've been divorced by my United
States–based husband, Phillip Ehiagwina, that is just another lie that
can only come from professional happy home breakers. No fight or
separation ever happened. We are still together, doing great things as
husband and wife."

Lampard and Cole Must leave – Benitez

New interim Chelsea manager, Rafael Benitez, has confirmed that both
Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, will leave Stamford Bridge in the
summer.


The English pair have been linked with moves away from London for
sometime. And although Benitez insisted he will only be involved in
contract negotiations, if his short-term contract is extended, he made
it clear they were close to the door.


"I think so," he said in the Guardian. "I don't have all the
information and it's not fair to tell me I'm only here for seven
months and then expect me to have an influence at the club over the
next two or three years, but I think that's the
case at the moment."


Lampard is rumoured to be in talks with a number of clubs in China and
the MLS, while Cole is being linked with a move to Ligue 1 club, Paris

Nollywood Actor : Joseph Benjamin - I gets a lot of strange calls please help !!!

The Nollywood star broke the ice on his relationship status recently
while shedding light on rumours surrounding his marriage and
subsequent separation, he is not available though single.


Benjamin told Source; "I've been separated for a year now but we still
keep a good relationship, and our separation was a mutual agreement.
She is a good woman but I could not go on with the union anymore
seeing the foundation it was built on was untrue. I have two wonderful
children – a ten year old daughter and a seven year old son. They are
an integral part of my life; their mum and I have a very good
arrangement on how to balance their lives and make sure that
psychologically they are stable and unaffected by our separation."


To Joseph Benjamin, marriage is serious business which should be taken
seriously.


Benjamin says there is no woman in his life right now, but he
disclosed to Showtime the kind of woman that may catch his fancy.


"For me, an ideal woman is somebody who has the beauty right from
inside, not really an outside beauty. I mean one who understands life
and who has passion for God. I do not like a woman who is
materialistic but she has to look good. I' m not really carried away
by outside beauty but it is an added advantage," Benjamin said.


After working with stars like Genevieve Nnaji, Desmond Elliot, Nse
Etim-Ekpe, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha , Ini edo, and Justice Esiri,
Benjamin says he would love to work with Pete Edochie, Olu Jacobs Rita
Dominic, Omotala Jalade and Stella Damasus. "I would also like to work
with my sister from Kogi State, Mercy Johnson."


Benjamin's driving force he says "is to surpass every standard I have
set for myself at every point in my career. I am also driven by the
goal to achieve excellence that always pushes me to go beyond my
limit. I always like to push myself to the edge."


Joseph Benjamin gets a lot of strange calls. "I get a lot of strange
calls from my fans. Some will call you and tell you they like you.
Some will want to hear your voice. But I wonder how they get my
number."

Now that we know you are single Ben, gear up for more calls.

Just Imagine : CHINESE COUPLE Rejects Compensation Over the building of Road Around their House

This should pass as one of the strangest sights anyone can ever come
across on a road. For what it is worth, it is absurd! Sitting on the
middle of this road is a five storey block with occupants who have
refused to move out or allowed the building to be demolished even as
cars drive around it.


Luo Baogen and his wife insist on living in the half-demolished
building in the city of Wenling, in Zhejiang province, China because
they believe that the relocation compensation offered by the
government is not enough.


However to ensure their safety, adjacent rooms in the building have
been left intact but all their neighbours have moved out.


Earlier this year, Hong Chunqin, 75, and her husband Kung, who live in
the two dilapidated buildings with their two sons, had initially
agreed to sell the property in Taizhou, in Zhejiang province and
accepted £8,000 in compensation. But then she changed her mind and
refunded the money once work on the road had started.

Hot Actress ,Halima Abubakar - Reason Why I Shaved My Glory ?

I was invited to participate in cancer awareness campaign by Waodiva
and MTN. They did workshops on cancer, and a lot of survivors
attended. I cried when I saw them. It was really shocking that people
can go through that traumatic experience. I now decided to take off my
hair as a way of honoring them.



If you shave your hair, you understand better what it is. If you have
someone that has gone through the ailment, you will understand what I
am talking about. They normally cut their hair. Who doesn't want hair?
Hair is every woman's glory. Shaving my hair is my own way of
supporting the call against the dreaded disease." – Halima

Naeto C Frauds Promoter

The drama between Storm Records and FBS Entertainment continues. Just
hours ago, the label issued a statement explaining why Naeto C is not
culpable,and threatening to take legal actions against the promoters.
But a rep for FBS, Muhammad Nura Abdullahi has replied the label,
saying 'We want to clearly state that Naeto C categorically agreed to
the advance payment and the agreement did not state that default to
pay the full contract sum (which was never demanded for) repudiates
the contract.


In fact, the standard of all contract agreement dictates that parties
are bound by the agreement and none of the parties can unilaterally
use any standard to interpret the contents of a signed agreement. We
would like to state that no custom should be used to defraud people on
any grounds.


Storms Records is however claiming Naeto C did NOT sign any contract
with FBS Entertainment. Abdullahi also alleges that Storm Records has
been aware of the on-going drama but refused to respond all along. 'We
(our legal team) wrote to Naeto C via Storm Records and Storms Records
is in the know and neglected to respond for long, attached is the
screen shot of that demand letter sent to them.


In view of this, Storm Records says they will "explore all options
made available within legal bounds of the constitution of Nigeria,
including suing for fraudulent practices (forgery of signature) and
defamation of character", if the accusations are not retracted and
apology issued to that effect.

Obasanjo: The hero

If time will tell anything of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, that time will
always be positive. Obasanjo is not just a coincidence in Nigeria
history; he is God's anointed for the country. No Nigerian alive has
remained so relevant at all important moments. From 1970 to date
(42years), everything is pointing to him as not only the father of
modern Nigeria, but the first one to run to for advice.


According to punchng.com , He has been in the scene for too long to
just give it to luck, you can't be lucky all the time. Obasanjo is the
man all Nigerians may hate to love and can't do anything about it, but
obey. His a man of all seasons.

Certainly OBJ is a hero to punch. Do u know how many papers they've
used his name to sell?
Well , it is left for you to decide !!!

Chris Brown Pulls Out Of Huge Concert After Women's Groups Protest

Four years Ago after his infamous beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna,
Chris Brown is still paying the price.

The hip hop star has canceled a huge stadium show in Guyana following
protests from numerous women's rights organization, AP is reporting.

The concert's promoter, Hits and Jams Entertainment, issued a
statement Thursday saying Brown had pulled out of the date because he
was "uncomfortable" with the protests.

Brown was scheduled to headline a show December 26 in the South American nation.

And although Rihanna was forgiven Brown for hitting and choking her
the night before the Grammy Awards in February, 2009, -- he attended
her Halloween party and has a duet on her new album -- the women of
Guyana obviously have not.


Rihanna understands the "world hasn't let go" of what Brown did to
her, but she has. Brown received five years of probation, community
labor and one year of domestic-violence counseling in connection with
his beating of the singer.

Rafa Benitez - "I can guarantee that a lot of Liverpool fans will wish me Well ''

"I am here because I want to be here, at a massive club that allows me
to fight for trophies," he said speaking at his first Chelsea press
conference.



"I don't care about short term. At this moment I am here - I got the
job. I have more desire and hunger to win trophies than before." The
coach denies disrespecting the Stamford
Bridge club while in charge of Liverpool, suggesting any fan would
want to see their manager defending the club: "We were playing against
Chelsea in the semifinals of the
Champions League. If I was a fan I'd like to see my manager fighting to win.


"I don't see this as a lack of respect, I think it's defending my club
[at the time]. Everyone has to do what they have to do." Benitez said
former boss Di Matteo did a "great job" after winning the Champions
League and FA Cup after taking over from Andre Villas-Boas last
season, but suggested winning is the only guarantee in football.


He continued: "Di Matteo was doing a great job, but you can win your
game and still be out. "It's very simple. Winning games is a guarantee
for everything. Winning games in a row means winning trophies. We have
five competitions, five opportunities to do well."

"I can guarantee that a lot of Liverpool fans will wish me all the
best - not against Liverpool - but they will wish me all the best," he
added.

Omosexy, as Omotola is fondly called by her fans, and Genny, as
Genevieve is also fondly called by her fans, have been nominated

Stylish Actress category of the awards.


The awards ceremony holds on Sunday, December 2, 2012 at Landmark

their fans in determining who wins the award category. The awards
debuted in 2010.

Why Tinubu's Son, Seyi, Fails In Law School**Ex-Gov., Oyinlola; Segun Oni's Daughter Pass

The Son of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and the
Aare Ago of Egbaland, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Oluwaseyi, was among
the 1,552 Law School students that were not called to bar yesterday,
Tuesday, November 19, 2012 after they failed their examinations.


Seyi, as he is fondly called, had earlier failed his Bar Part 1
examination but had to repeat the exam. He was admitted at the Lagos
campus of the Nigerian Law School in Victoria Island.


Meanwhile, the former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola
and the daughter of former Ekiti State governor, Segun Oni, Yemisi,
were among the 3,896 that were called to the Nigerian Bar by the Chief
Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mariam Aloma Muhktar yesterday. The
call bar ceremony was held at the International Conference Centre,
Abuja.


About 5,449 students had sat for the August final examination out of
which nine passed with First Class, 195 had Second Class Upper, 900
had Second Class Lower and 2,783 had Pass.

The 1,552 that reportedly failed the examination would therefore
re-sit the examination.

NEW RESEARCH: 4D SCAN shows FOETUSES YAWN in the WOMB; VIEW SCAN

Growing into a fully formed human being is a long process, and
scientists have found that unborn babies not only hiccup, swallow and
stretch in the womb, they yawn too.


Researchers who studied 4D scans of 15 healthy foetuses also said they
think yawning is a developmental process which could potentially give
doctors a new way to check on a baby's health.


While some scientists have previously suggested that foetuses yawn,
others disagree and say it is nothing more than a developing baby
opening and stretching its mouth.



But writing in the journal PLOS ONE on Wednesday, British researchers
said their study was able to clearly distinguish yawning from
"non-yawn mouth opening" based on how long the mouth was open.


The researchers did this by using 4D video footage to examine all the
times when fetuses opened their mouths.



Nadja Reissland of Durham University's department of Psychology, who
led the study, said the function and importance of yawning in foetuses
is still unknown, but the findings suggest it may be linked to foetal
development and could provide a further indication of the health of
the unborn baby.



"Unlike us, foetuses do not yawn contagiously, nor do they yawn
because they are sleepy," she said. "Instead, the frequency of yawning
in the womb may be linked to the maturing of the brain early in
gestation."


The study was carried out on eight female and seven male foetuses from
24 to 36 weeks gestation. The researchers found that yawning declined
from 28 weeks and that there was no significant difference in how
often boys and girls yawned. [Reuters]

Ice Prince applauded for accepting His child's paternity

When in March 2012, news went rounds on a reported child fathering
outside wedlock involving Ice Prince and one Bimbo, reported to be an
ex-girlfriend of Jesse Jagz hit news headlines, the Jos-born-Ice
Prince reportedly denied the pregnancy's responsibility. At the
child's christening, Ice Prince was reportedly absent.


Some months later, precisely in June 2012, the soft-core rapper
reportedly admitted the child's paternity, who was christened
Toluwalase, Jamal. Few months after, precisely in November 2012, Ice
Prince flaunted Jamal, who he once denied the paternity of.


The last two recent reported activities involving Ice Prince and Jamal
have raised issues among followers of the rapper. While Ice Prince has
been applauded for the bold step taken in accepting the child's
paternity, others have pondered on the reason behind the 'Oleku'
crooner's u-turn on his earlier decision.


Though Ice Prince has not publicly given reason for his new action,
many would wish to know what exactly made him to now accept the child
and eventually flaunt the baby.

Another sacking is just like any other day at the office at Chelsea – Villas-Boas

Andre Villas-Boas has said that Roman Abramovich sacking Roberto Di
Matteo, is 'another day at the office', for any Chelsea manager. Di
Matteo replaced Villas-Boas at the club, but lasted just five days
more than the Portuguese, despite winning both the Champions League
and FA Cup.


"At Chelsea another sacking is just like any other day at the office.
That's my interpretation," the 34-year-old said. "It's difficult for
Robbie. I wish him well in his career. He has achieved so much in such
a small amount of time."His CV is now one of the best in the world. He
is a European champion and an FA Cup winner. It's the club's decision.

It's what they think moves them forward. I can't really comment on
that." Villas-Boas himself, is under pressure at Tottenham Hotspur, as
he not recorded good results. But on Thursday night, he will be hoping
to get a win over Lazio, in the Europa league, after a 5-2 loss at
Arsenal last weekend.
