Zimbabwan Woman Set To Marry Her Own Son And She's Also 6 Months Pregnant

40-year-old woman Betty Mbereko and her son Farai Mbereko claim to be in love with each other and are getting set to tie the knot in Zimbabwe. Both are from Mwenezi in Masvingo and Betty is now six months pregnant and expecting her son’s child and her grand child. Mbereko, 40, has been a widow for the past 12 years and has been living with her 23-years-old son Farai Mbereko. She confirms that she is six month pregnant and that she has decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her. Betty stunned a village court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier.

SMH: The Word "TWERK" Would Be Added To The Oxford English Dictionary

According to the NY Daily News, Twerking, the rump-busting up-and-down dance move long beloved on the hip-hop scene, has officially gone mainstream. It's got the English dictionary entry to prove it. Britain's Oxford Dictionaries said the rapid-fire gyrations employed by pop starlet Miley Cyrus to bounce her way to the top of the charts had become increasingly visible in the past 12 months and would be added to its publications under the entry: "Twerk, verb."

Matthew Knowles (Beyonce's Father) Mistress Apologizes To Beyonce's Mom "Tina Knowles" After Wrecking Their Marriage.

Exactly 4 years ago, Beyonce’s father "Mathew Knowles" got caught in an affair that rocked the Knowles family, which resulted in a baby, and eventually ended his 31-year marriage to Tina Knowles when she filed for divorce shortly after news of the affair went public. The lady in question is Alexsandra Wright, and after so many court dates pertaining to the true paternity of the child, has issued a public statement to Sandra Rose where she puts Matthew Kowles on full blast, detailing everything from her child support struggles, to how their affair began, and even how sorry she is for destroying the Knowles’ three decade long marriage. See letter below:

“It is with a heavy heart we must head back to Superior Court to continue the fight for the rights of my son Nixon Knowles, who has proven to be Mathew Knowles’ biological son. My family and I have exhausted every non-legal avenue to urge Mathew to be a responsible father and to follow the stipulated judgment we reached together, which was approved by California’s Superior Court. “We have attempted to appeal to him and his team to adhere to that agreement and the court’s stipulated judgment in regard to our son’s education, outstanding medical expenses and other issues, with the hopes of keeping this situation private, considering all parties involved. Unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful with any sort of private negotiation. “I am deeply saddened that our personal business is being aired in such a public forum. As a result of false statements made by sources very close to our situation, rumors and innuendos are openly being spread about my son and me. Naturally the negative words affect both of our families, children and careers. Therefore, I find it unavoidable to remain silent. “Those close to me know that my primary concern is my son Nixon’s welfare and well-being; both now and in the future. I feel that it is important for him to know, when he comes of age, that he wasn’t a mistake and that he was a product of love! In the beginning, Mathew and I had a working relationship that encompassed mutual respect and professional admiration. When I met him I already had a very successful and financially viable professional career. He positioned himself as a mentor to me and someone that I could turn to for business advice. As time passed, our relationship turned into a very close personal one. I never wanted or intended to hurt anyone in the process. I regret the pain that I have contributed to his family and to my own family. I have the utmost respect and admiration for both of his daughters – they are both lovely women. I also regret the pain that this situation has caused his ex-wife, Tina, and very much wish one day I will get the opportunity to tell her personally. My son, my family, and I thank you for your prayers and hope you will understand our need for whatever little privacy we have left during this period. We are extremely appreciative of the family and friends that are standing by us. “I’m fighting for every single parent and child as I fight for my own.”

Eyah, and we are suppose to feel sorry for you now, right?? Puhleez!!

Pastor Arrested For Sexually Abusing His 14yr-old Foster Child.

Darryl Houston, 47, a Houston pastor, has been accused of sexually assaulting his foster daughter and charged with three counts of sexual assault of a child under 17. The 14-year-old victim said the first time she had sex with Houston was at his home on April 7. She said while she was doing her chores, Houston called her into the TV room and began kissing her neck. The two of them began to “make out” and then had sex, according to court documents. The two allegedly had sexual contact at least six times, even when others were in the home, up until April 24. Two days later, she told her therapist at the Children’s Assessment Center. The teen said she enjoyed being with Houston and that he allegedly told her the two of them would be together in the future. But when investigators questioned Houston, he denied the allegations and accused the teen of being “promiscuous.” However, a polygraph exam showed that Houston was being deceptive when asked about having sexual contact with the teen, investigators said. There were plenty of questions about the man at the center of this case. Prosecutors think that Darryl Houston is an alias for Christopher Miller who is a convicted sex offender in Michigan.

Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom Allegedly Separated...

I've been trying so hard not to report on this story because for some reason, I felt it was a delicate matter between the couple and that until they finally come out to address the situation, i won't believe the hype. But it seems, it keeps getting worse by the day. First, there was the report of an affair, then the report of drugs and now apparent "separation". According to source close to the couple, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are separated, but there is no step towards divorce yet. The separation was evident when Khloe threw Lamar out of the house on Wednesday, after he refused her attempt at an intervention based on his addiction to crack for at least 2 years. Apparently, Khloe has made it clear if Lamar did not get help she wanted nothing to do with him anymore.
Call me "Thomas" but I'll only believe this story if and when Khloe or Lamar finally speak up.

Child Not Bride: Interview With Senator Yerima Ahmed Reeks of Ignorance

First of all, Nigeria is not govern by the Quran and the Islamic law does not cover the whole of Nigeria. Senator Yerima Ahmed, was the same Senator that got married to a 13yr-old girl and He is debating the fact that the maturity of a child depends on the fact that she has attained puberty. According to him, "Age is not the defining factor in determining if a child is ready for marriage or not". Meaning, if a girl at the age of 9yrs starts menstruating, she is in turn eligible for marriage. And for him to liken marriage a child to gay right, irks my blood cells. For the record, the Pope never agreed to gay rights but said they should not be condemned. See videos for more...

Donald Trump Sued For Fraudulent Activities At His "Trump University"

Donald Trump is being sued by New York's attorney general for $40m (£26m) for his role as chairman of an allegedly fraudulent "Trump University" which promised to make students rich but ended up costing them a fortune. The American property mogul said Democrat Eric Schneiderman's lawsuit was false and politically motivated. Mr Schneiderman said many of the 5,000 students who each paid up to $35,000 (£23,000) for masterclasses thought they would at least meet Mr Trump, but instead all they got was their picture taken in front of a life-size picture of The Apprentice star.

Mike Tyson Admits He is a Vicious Alcoholic And on The Verge of Dying...

via TMZ
Mike Tyson has not been living the sober life ... not by a longshot ... in fact he says his alcohol addiction is so dire he's on the "verge of dying." Tyson dropped the bombshell at a press conference Friday in New York ... telling reporters he's been lying to everyone for years about staying sober. He confessed, "I wanna change my life, I wanna live a different life now. I wanna live my sober life. I don't wanna die. I'm on the verge of dying, because I'm a vicious alcoholic." Tyson -- who has been in and out of rehab over 3 times -- said he's been drug and alcohol free for 6 days now and never wants to drink again. The 47-year-old former champ was in New York to promote his upcoming fight card with Iron Mike Productions.

Bela's Corner: Signs That Your Boy/Girlfriend and Your BFF Are Too Close For Comfort.

1. They have one too many “inside jokes” I used to hate when people abused that “insider” hashtag on Facebook and Twitter. If the joke is so personal, get the heck off Google Chrome and chuckle it up in person. Now imagine, your boo and your best friend constantly giving each other side-eyes and getting their Def Comedy Jam on while you’re sitting there looking lost like, “What is so damn funny?” If your man cares about you, he won’t repeatedly risk your comfort level at the expense of a good punch line. If you find yourself like Drake outside of the Miami Heat locker room and never in on the joke, there’s a chance that’s not the only thing you’re not in on.

2. He/She is closer to his/her mom than you are. Remember when Patti Labelle would guest star as Dwayne Wayne’s mama on A Different World, and constantly mention how much she would’ve loved to see him get with Kimberly Reece and not Whitley Gilbert? You can’t control who his mom takes a liking to, but if they were friends long before he stopped his car in the middle of rush hour traffic to get your number, keep in mind that his mother’s opinion may matter more than you think and he could be affected by it. Be leery: His sandbox buddy may really be an unrequited crush waiting for her golden opportunity to get “chose.”


3. They repeatedly pull disappearing acts…at the same damn time. There’s a scene in Something Borrowed where the bride-to-be is looking frantically for her missing fiancé, when the fact is he spent the night in her bestie’s bed. Maybe you just attract social butterflies with demanding social calendars, but if the two people who are closest to you constantly go MIA, at the same time nonetheless, it may be more than a coincidence.

4.  He/She takes his/her side in arguments. First off, homegirl is breaking all kinds of girl code if she starts taking up for your man in the midst of a heated argument (even if you are clearly wrong). Any good friend will defend your honor before discreetly pulling you to the side to let you know you need to get it together. If all of your disagreements turn into two against one, it could be because they’re joining forces and feelings for each other.

5. He/She Constantly compares the two of you. If your man is constantly comparing you to any woman, he needs to stop playing and go get the woman he wants and stop trying to make you into her. As much as it pains me to quote her, in the words of Sweet Brown, “Ain’t nobody got time for that.”

6. He/She is his/her biggest fan on social media. Your man can’t put up a picture of his plate from Sunday dinner without her liking, following and re-tweeting it to damn death. The thirst is real, but it’s a sad day when your best friend is dehydrated (aka, thirsty). There is no reason why your girl should be spending her days memorizing your man’s page.

7. He/She sells him/herself. If she starts pimping herself when he’s in her presence, she’s either looking for validation or plotting on making him hers, and neither is a good situation. “I don’t understand why I can’t get a good man? I work, I can cook and do you see how big my behind is getting?” Sound familiar? There’s no need for her to be selling anything if there are no shoppers in the room.

8. She relies on him to carry out "Boyfriend" duties. You ever had a friend who acts like once you get a man, she’s got one too? “Is Sean around? I need my battery jumped.” “Does your man know how to put up dry wall?” “Do you think Sean can swing by my job and pick me up?” Umm, no girl. These are perks to having a man, so until you get one, I’m going to need you to back up off mine. Beware of the friend that believes she has a boyfriend by default, because she might be trying to give him boyfriend privileges as well.

9. She purposely omits chance encounters and conversations. If your dude knows more about how your day went than you do because your girl rushed to break it down to him before you did, that’s a problem. If she’s leaving out bumping into him “randomly” or random phone conversations, it could be because she feels guilty about their interactions. And people only feel guilty when they’re doing something they know they have no business doing…

10. They are inappropriate. Remember in Player’s Club when fast-behind Ebony was walking around in her drawls in front of her cousin Diamond’s boyfriend? I don’t care if your man has been coming around for decades, there have to be boundaries. That means no skipping around in towels fresh from the shower, sitting on laps, backing it up on him in the club, etc..

Meet Kim And Kanye's Bundle Of Joy "North West"...

Over two months after her early birth, North West, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s little girl made her debut on grandmother Kris Jenner’s talk show Friday, Aug. 23. Rapper West, 36, sat down with Jenner, 56, to chat about his enduring romance with Kardashian, 32, and fatherhood — sharing a snapshot of his little girl.
The sought-after photo was then posted on via the syndicated talk show’s Twitter account, @krisjennershow.

Speaking about being a dad, the “Black Skinhead” rapper said “it takes time to understand” the enormity of the transition. “You’ve made a brand-new person. The thing I think about as a dad is just protection. That’s my only goal — to protect my daughter. That’s my instinct.” One hilarious admission: “I’m embarrassed when I can’t work a car seat!”
After his mother Donda West’s 2007 death, the Grammy winner admitted he was at an all-time low. “I would put my life at risk. I didn’t have something to live for. Now I have two very special people to live for, a whole family to live for, a whole world to live for.”

“[Kim is] my joy. She brought my new joy into the world,” he added.
During the hour-long chat, West also spoke about meeting Kardashian for the very first time, years ago, shooting a comedy video. “I was so in awe of her, she was my dream girl. I was in love with her before I could ever talk to her.”

“I just dreamed about being next to her,” he said later on during the show. “I keep saying it, I don’t wanna start jumping up and down on the coach!”

Bela's Corner: Things A Man Never Wants His Woman To Pay For

You may be one of those girls that like to play boss with your man, by footing the bills sometimes but this discussion shows that there are some things that, when you pay for them, make your man feel emasculated. Personally, i can argue on some of the things but it usually depends on the guy you are dating. Below are some of the instances where your guy wouldn't want you paying;

*THE HOTEL ROOM

It’s deeply embedded in a man’s genes to be “the protector”—for centuries men have been the ones building the roofs, and eventually paying for them. Something just doesn’t sit right with a man about his girlfriend paying for the accommodations. It’s his job to make sure you have a comfortable place to sleep. If you’re traveling together, pick up the meals or activities, but leave the hotel to him.


*THE GASOLINE

He does not want gas money from you. There’s something about driving a woman around that makes a man feel on top of the world…and there’s something about her trying to hand him a wad of cash at the gas station that makes him feel at the bottom of it. Pay for the snacks inside the gas station, but let him handle the actual mode of transportation. If you really want to pay for gas, then just offer to take your car in the first place.


*A ROUND FOR HIM AND HIS BUDDIES

If you’re out with your guy and a group of his friends, and your guy orders a round of drinks, don’t throw down your credit card the second the bill gets there, or secretly slip it to the bartender when your guy isn’t looking. He was trying to be “the man” by getting those for his friends, and you just stepped on his toes. And made his friends wonder if he’s broke.

*DINNER ON A DOUBLE DATE

When there is another man there to impress, forget about it—keep your hands off your purse. Your man will feel humiliated if the other boyfriend on a double date throws down his credit card, and you pick up the tab for your half of the table. Let the men split it, and take your guy to lunch the next day.

*DINNER WITH YOUR PARENTS

Your guy wants to make a kind gesture and invite your parents out to dinner. He lets them pick the spot because, well, they’re more “elderly” and have tighter specifications on where they’re comfortable eating. But, they pick a pricy place and you know your guy is on a budget. The last thing your guy wants is to appear incapable of taking care of your parent’s daughter. It will be painful, but let him pick up this big tab and just pick up the expenses for the rest of the week to make things easier on him.

*DINNER WITH HIS PARENTS

Unfortunately, you just don’t get to role reverse when it comes to meals with the parents. Your guy can and should pay for dinner out with your parents, but you should not be pulling out your credit card when you’re out with his parents. It will make everyone uncomfortable at the table—that’s two generations of men in the same family who you’re implying can’t afford dinner! Graciously thank whoever does pay, and bring them a nice house gift next time you see them.

*ANY COST HE HAS TO WALK AWAY FROM

Any time your guy is about to order/purchase something then once he hears the price has to say, “Oh, never mind…” and hang up the phone or walk away from the cash register, do not swoop in and say, “I got this.” This makes your guy feel like you’re his sugar mamma. Guys want to be able to fund their own lives—let him make do with what he has.

*THE TUX FOR YOUR PLUS-ONE EVENT

You get invited to a wedding and are allowed a plus-one. Obviously you invite your guy, but because you know he’s tight on money and needs a tux, you surprise him by renting/buying one for him. NO! This makes him feel like he’s a responsibility to bring along, instead of a pleasure. Let him work it out—he can borrow a tux from a friend, or find a cheap rental place. But you’re not his mommy; don’t dress him.

*THE HOUSEWARMING GIFT FOR HIS FRIEND

If one of your guy’s friends has a house party, leave it up to your guy to get him a gift. You might want to remind him to (since men don’t think about that as often as women do) but don’t just go behind his back and get one. He’ll feel awkward handing it over to his friend, pretending it was his idea.

*THE BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR HIS BOSS

This might be worse than secretly picking up a gift for the friend! Your boyfriend’s boss is someone he really wants to impress. He gives himself a pat on the back for getting a thoughtful gift for his superior. This is a man-to-man event: (unless the boss is a woman, in which case at least give your guy some tips) let him handle it.

*THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM HE’S BEEN SAVING UP FOR

Or really anything your guy has been saving up for. Guys derive a lot of pleasure from working towards something, so if your guy comes home to find that giant plasma TV that he’s saved half the money for, wrapped in a big red bow and sitting in his living room, the wind will be knocked out of his sails.

*ANYTHING “COUPLES”

Couple’s massage, a romantic couple’s themed night at a restaurant, a couple’s moonlight cruise…really anything with the word “couples” in it just because, well, men find these pretty cheesy.

Outrage: If A Girl Is Drunk, Is It Ok To Have Sex With Her?!

That was the question posed by TV personality "Dr Phil" on Twitter.  Phil McGraw, got the bitter side of the media after posting: “If a girl is drunk, is it OK to have sex with her? Reply yes or no to @drphil #teenaccused,” McGraw’s official account tweeted to his 1.2 million followers Tuesday afternoon".

As even the most oblivious person may have expected the tweet wasn't well received. The hash-tag #DrPhil!questions started trending almost immediately, incensed users venting their anger and disgust at the former Oprah crony. Sensing they had made a mistake, whoever handles McGraw’s account quickly deleted the tweet, but the damage was already done.Producers attempted to explain the tweet in a statement released earlier today, reports Deadline, claiming the tweet was just a poll question and nothing else.

“This Tweet was intended to evoke discussion leading into a very serious show topic based upon a recent news story, hence the #teensaccused label. It was a poll question, not a statement or a joke. As he has maintained over many years, Dr. Phil believes that the position of those incapacitated in any fashion; be it drugs, alcohol, age or mental illness can not and do not have the capacity to give their consent to anything, especially sex, which could have life changing repercussions. This was a research post in preparation for a show, not a personal post and Dr. Phil deleted it the second he saw it. It was clearly ill-advised. We sincerely apologize that it suggested anything other than what was intended, data gathering. As you can imagine, Dr. Phil is very upset that this happened.”

It’s unlikely that the statement will make the tweet any less embarrassing for the talk show host, but as large as the backlash may be, the episode the poll was for still reportedly filmed earlier today. It’s set to air at an unknown time next season.

UK News: London Heathrow Airport on High Alert For Bombs Hidden in Breast Implants

According to a report on the Mirror UK, Heathrow Airport is on high terror alert amid fears women suicide bombers are ready to strike with ­explosives concealed in breast implants. Security checks have been beefed up after “credible” intelligence that al-Qaeda is plotting attacks on airlines flying out of London. One staff member said: “There are genuine fears over this. “We have been told to pay particular attention to females who may have concealed hidden explosives in their breasts.“This is particularly difficult for us to pick up but we are on a very high state of alert.

Al-Qaeda’s chief bomb-maker Ibrahim al-Asiri is understood to have developed the method of foiling airport scanners by concealing ­explosives in an implant or bodily cavity. It is also feared there is no shortage of ­volunteers willing to take part in an atrocity after hundreds of extremists recently escaped from prison in Pakistan. Explosives expert Andy Oppenheimer said: “There is a great fear that al-Qaeda are planning on using internal devices to try and get through airport scanners. “These explosives could be in breast implants.”
