Chris Brown Slams Haters Labeling Him A ‘Homophobic Woman Beater’: I Won’t ‘Crumble’


Chris Brown has had it with the haters! The singer shared a heartfelt post for his adorable daughter Royalty, but totally called out ‘ignorant’ people for calling him names at the same time. 

“This little lady has given me strength, unconditional love, and most of all PURPOSE,” Chris, 27, wrote in a caption along with a precious pic of Royalty, 2, rubbing his head. “Ignorant people would label me homophobic, WOMAN BEATER, trouble maker. I’ve been through hell and back to jail and back. I refuse to crumble.”
Whoa Chris, tell it like it is! He is clearly proud of how far he’s come as a person, especially as a father, so we can’t blame him for wanting to shut down the people who have labeled him in the past. Sure, some of his actions may have warranted some of these names in the past, but it sounds like Chris is putting those days behind him as he continues raising little Royalty!
Considering Chris’ most recent incident with Bayley Curran, though, it’s probably pretty easy for people to assume that his words are rather empty. Bayley claimed that Chris allegedly pulled a gun on her while she was hanging out at his LA home, and Chris was investigated by child services on Sept. 22 to check on Royalty’s well-being in the wake of the allegation

He said and I quote "My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it," he continued. "I cant make new friends because of it. I dont trust anyone because of it and I'm tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace. I deserve to be happy and smiling."

Shortly after Cudi's message, which received an outpouring of fan support, the hashtag #YouGoodMan – an opportunity for black men to be candid about their own battles with mental health – began trending on Twitter.

Leading Nigerian Actress, Banned for "Hugging and Cuddling" .


A leading Nigerian actress, who was banned from the Hausa-language film industry because of her "immoral" behaviour, has apologised.
Rahama Sadau's appearance in a music video "hugging and cuddling" Nigerian pop star Classiq offended some people.
Ms Sadau said sorry to those she upset, but said her actions were "innocuous".
Hausa films are popular in the mostly Muslim northern Nigeria where it is taboo for men and women to hold hands in public.
The industry, commonly known as Kannywood, has been under fire from conservative Muslim clerics who accuse it of corrupting people's values.
The Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria banned the actress from Kannywood films, saying that her appearance in the video violated the industry's code of ethics.
It added that it hoped the ban would serve as a deterrent to other actors and actresses who are "expected to be good ambassadors of the society they represent".
'Senseless abuse'
Ms Sadau said she took full responsibility for what happened, but argued that she was behaving professionally and added that in her line of work "innocuous touching with other people... is inevitable".
But she reassured people that she would behave with decorum, adding: "I have lines that I would never cross."
Responding to the criticism she has received she said people should "be more tolerant and forgiving towards one another and to cease all the senseless abuse, name calling and backbiting".
In it, the Nigerian pop star is smitten with a vegetable seller in a market, acted by Ms Sadau.
Initially, she rejects his advances, batting him away with a bunch of vegetables, but he eventually wins her over.
They hold hands and engage in a bit of cuddling that would be considered demure in a Western film.
But many people in northern Nigeria felt she had gone too far with Classiq in the music video, reports the BBC's Isa Sanusi from the capital, Abuja.

Kevin Hart is World Highest Paid Comedian


Veteran American comedian, Kevin Hart, has emerged world’s highest-paid comedian by earning 87.5 million dollars in one year. The 37-year-old stand-up comedian and actor topped the list of 10 highest-paid comedians released by Forbes Magazine.

According to Forbes, the rating is based on Hart’s total earning between June 20 15 and June 2016. The ranking indicated that Hart pushed Jerry Seinfeld, who seemed the insurmountable King of Comedy by topping the highest-paid list since 2006 to second position with 43.5 million dollars earning. It noted that Seinfeld combined pretax earnings over the last 10 years top 900 million dollars, and year after year, he claimed the top spot on the list of the world’s highest-paid comedians.

Forbes noted that “the reason for Hart’s dominance is simple: He tours like no other comedian. “In the 12-month period, Hart played over 100 shows with an average gross of over one million dollars at each stop. “These shows aren’t at dingy comedy clubs; Hart played stadiums and arenas, including Madison Square Garden and the Staples Centre. 

Scientists Find HIV-AIDs Full Cure.


A British man with HIV undergoing a pioneering treatment to cure him of the disease has shown “remarkable” progress, doctors have told a newspaper. Scientists treating the 44-year-old patient are now hopeful of a breakthrough in what has been described as “one of the first serious attempts at a full cure for HIV”.

 Results showed the man’s most recent blood test showed no detectable HIV was present. Results showed the man’s most recent blood test showed no detectable HIV was present. The man, who has remained anonymous, is the first of 50 people to complete a trial using the two-stage attack on the deadly virus. The research is being carried out by a collaboration of five of Britain’s top universities organised by the National Health Service. Mark Samuels, managing director of the National Institute for Health Research Office for Clinical Research Infrastructure, told the Sunday Times: “This is one of the first serious attempts at a full cure for HIV.

We are exploring the real possibility of curing HIV. “This is a huge challenge and it’s still early days but the progress has been remarkable.” The trial patient told the newspaper that recent blood tests showed no detectable HIV virus was present, although it was too early to confirm that the treatment had worked. The new therapy aims to overcome a major barrier to clearing the virus from a sufferer’s body that has challenged researchers for decades.

Current methods using antiretroviral therapies (Art) fall short of ridding patients of HIV, as the virus can hide out of the drugs’ reach in the immune system’s T-cells. By sheltering in dormant T-cells the virus can later take over its host and use it to produce thousands of copies of itself, should Art no longer work. The research by Oxford and Cambridge universities, Imperial College London, University College London, and King’s College London, is testing a “kick and kill” technique to first expose, then destroy the virus.

First a vaccine helps the body find infected T-cells. This is then followed by a course of the drug Vorinostat that awakens the dormant T-cells, which then begin producing HIV proteins that act as a homing beacon to the immune system.

Imperial College London consultant physician Professor Sarah Fidler said the treatment worked in the laboratory and there was “good evidence” it will work in patients. However she added: “We must stress we are still a long way from any actual therapy.”
