Charlie Sheen And Porn Star Girlfriend Brett Rossi Treat Locals to PDA Session On Fishing Trip

He's mighty keen to flaunt his fancy new love life situation.
Charlie Sheen and his fresh new porn star girlfriend Brett Rossi continued their gaudy public displays of affection on Friday as they embarked on a fishing trip together in the pretty Mexican town of Cabo San Lucas.
The 48-year-old actor and notorious angry man was so blissfully happy about his precious blonde that he was even seen enthusiastically fist-pounding a local.

Charlie even chose a bright colour for the beachy outing with his favourite adult entertainer, donning a bright green T-shirt and shiny white shorts as the pair hit the ocean for a spot of fishing.
Giving a nod to his younger years, the Anger Management star flipped his cap backwards and shielded his face with a pair of dark sunglasses.
Brett got into the seaside spirit with just a wispy white tank covering her bikini as well as a miniscule pair of denim shorts that surely made things awkward for the polite gentleman who helped her climb onto the tall boat.

Charlie simply could not get enough of his beloved blonde as they stood on the boat surrounded by fishing rods, showering her with smooches and even gripping her face to make sure he snagged as many as possible.
The former husband of Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller is also keen to flaunt the new romance to his fans, sharing a picture of himself and his new girl on his Twitter page on Thursday.
Charlie's personal assumption seemed to be that onlookers would be 'jealous' of his tender embrace with his adult entertainer girlfriend.

Alongside the image, which showed Charlie keeping a tight grip of his lady friend, the Anger Management actor wrote: 'Best Thanksgiving ever. I'm thankful for "Giving" the world another face-load of planet jealous! hashtag HowYaLikeMeWow.'
In fact, the pair appeared to have posed up for a series of pictures together, with one of the men they seemed to be on holiday with more than happy to play photographer.
The new romance comes after a troubled few months for Charlie, who is currently in the middle of a bitter legal battle with ex Brooke regarding custody of their four-year-old twin sons Max and Bob, who were previously in the custody of Denise Richards.

Ice Prince: "Why I Denied My Child's Paternity "




When news of him fathering a child hit the airwaves, everyone waited for Ice Prince to either accept or deny it. And, he denied it.

Then much more later, we started seeing him posing with his kid, and telling whoever cared to listen that he's actually a daddy.
He recently granted an interview with Showbiz Plus where Ice explains why he had to deny paternity of his son.
According to him, he wasn't sure as at the time the news hit the air and had to make findings to be sure the pregnancy was truly his. Now, he's sure and has accepted his son.
"It was complicated back then, I didn’t really know what was happening and I wasn’t sure of certain things. So the best I had to do then was deny it and sort out things first. Now I know he is my child and I have done everything as a father ever since.
But Ice isn't dating his baby mama, Bimbo Babatunde and we're not sure he'll marry her either.
According to him, although he still communicates with Bimbo but all they discuss is about his son

George Zimmerman Racked Up $2.MILLION Dollar Legal Bill During Trayvon Martin Murder Trial

Freedom at a cost: George Zimmerman racked up legal fees of $2.5million dollars as he was acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin earlier this year


George Zimmerman racked up $2.5million in legal fees defending himself against a murder charge, his defense attorneys have revealed.
The 30-year-old was acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin earlier this year, but his freedom has come at a cost.
He received the legal bill from lead attorneys Mark O'Mara and Don West two months ago.
O'Mara initially took the case on in April 2012 at no charge to Zimmerman.
But he later found out that the Zimmerman family were raising funds to fight the charge via a website appeal.
More than $400,000 was donated to the fund by his supporters.
The lawyer said during the trial that he and Mr West had not been paid but hoped that they would be in the future.
They were paid a 'minute amount' following Zimmerman's acquittal, according to Mr O'Mara.
The attorneys are thought to have benefited financially from the case even if they haven't be paid.
O'Mara spent more than $52,000 on 'law firm support and infrastructure' - upgrading computer software, improved office security and new phones - earlier this year.
The pair also formed the Timber Run Enterprises LLC partnership and bought the building next to O'Mara's existing Orlando office for $270,000.

O'Mara has denied that the building was paid for using Zimmerman's defense money and said that instead it was leased to O'Mara's firm and that the defense money was used to pay rent.
Zimmerman was acquitted in July of all charges, including second-degree murder over the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, during a five-week trial.
He told police that he shot the teenager in self-defence after the unarmed youngster attacked him.
Expensive: Mark O'Mara was one of Zimmerman's defense attorneys during the trial. He and his partner hope to be paid the $2.5million legal bill one day

Both the killing itself and the trial verdict prompted widespread demonstrations across the US.
Orlando criminal defence lawyer Richard Hornsby described the $2.5million bill as 'mind-numbing'
Clients are more often than not charged a flat rate fee rather than a by the hour rate.


n other cases where the client cannot afford a defense team, a nonrefundable retainer is paid to the lawyer and that covers legal costs until it runs out.
After that money has been exhausted lawyers tend to charge by the hour.
But the attorneys describe the charge as reasonable given that O'Mara charges $400 an hour and West $350.
According to court paperwork, Zimmerman had no funds when the case begun and is unemployed and going through a divorce at present.
He is also facing charges in a domestic violence case in Seminole County.
Zimmerman is free on $9,000 bail on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief. He has pleaded not guilty.
It emerged earlier this week that he had five guns and more than 100 rounds of ammunition with him when deputies arrested him.
A search warrant made public on Tuesday by the Seminole County court clerk shows that Zimmerman had a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 assault rifle and three handguns when he was arrested on November 18 at his girlfriend's house.
The girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, told deputies that Zimmerman pointed a shotgun at her during an argument.

Nigeria: Three Lebanese Nationals Cleared Of Terrorism

Military officials stand near ammunitions seized from suspected members of Hezbollah after a raid of a building in Nigeria's northern city of Kano May 30, 2013


Three men suspected of being members of Hezbollah have been cleared of terrorism charges by a Nigerian court.
The men, all Lebanese nationals, were arrested in May after the discovery of weapons in the northern city of Kano.
They denied accusations of plotting attacks on Western and Israeli targets in Nigeria.
One of the men was convicted on a weapons charge and jailed for life. Nigerian officials had described the weapons cache as a "cell of Hezbollah".
The defence lawyer for the three men - Mustapha Fawaz, Abdallah Thahini and Talal Ahmad Roda - said he was happy that the terrorism charges had been dismissed.
Ahmed Raji said: "We are happy and slightly not comfortable with respect to the third accused [Roda, who was jailed]."
He said he would consult with Roda about an appeal.

There is a large business Lebanese community in Kano, the commercial hub of northern Nigeria, as in many cities across West Africa.
Nigerian authorities' statements in May represented the first time they had alleged that the Lebanese Shia movement had an operational interest in the country.
Hezbollah is considered by the US to be a terrorist organisation.
Analysts had expressed surprise at the claim of a possible link between Hezbollah and the Nigerian insurgents, Boko Haram, which follows the strict Salafi interpretation of Sunni Islam.

Justin Bieber Asked To Clean Up Graffiti He Spray-Painted On An External Wall of A Gold Coast Hotel In Australia




Singer Justin Bieber has been asked to clean up graffiti left on a hotel wall in Australia.
The singer spray-painted cartoon faces on an external wall of a Gold Coast hotel earlier this week. He is currently touring Australia.
The hotel said it was pleased to have Bieber's artwork on their wall. However, Gold Coast City Council said it would order the graffiti's removal.
Earlier this month, Bieber was charged with defacing a building in Brazil.
The hotel, QT Gold Coast, said in a response to a comment on its Facebook page: "We are stoked to have Justin Bieber's artwork on our wall."
It added that it had given Bieber permission to paint on the wall.
Justin Bieber during a concert in Brisbane, 27 November 2013Bieber has been charged with illegally spraying graffiti in Brazil earlier this month
However, Gold Coast City Council said that while the graffiti was on a private property, it was in public view and an eyesore.
"The city has a zero tolerance approach to graffiti," a mayoral spokesman told the BBC. "The mayor will contact the hotel to say that if Justin Bieber does not want to use the free graffiti removal kit left with him, then the hotel is expected to use it."
"If not, we will send council compliance officers to ensure the mess is taken care of."
Earlier, Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tait described Bieber's behaviour as "really silly".
"Just come and clean it up and we'll be happy with you. Alternatively come and sing at our mayoral Christmas carols on 7 December for an hour and I'll let you go."

Kim Kardashian Doles Out Lessons On How To Take The Perfect Selfie But Claims She Looks Disgusting Without Makeup

She is the queen of self-promotion, regularly posting 'selfie' snaps to her millions of followers.
Now, Kim Kardashian has finally opened up about how to take the perfect self-portrait.
'Rule number one, you always have to have it a little higher,' Kim informs on a video by Extra, before getting distracted by her own reflection.

'Ugh, I look disgusting without make-up,' she fumes.

'But no duck face,' Kim says, pouting her plump lips together. 'I love doing that, because it gives you cheekbones. But people get so mad.'
However, one person who certainly doesn't think Kim's penchant for self-portraits is tacky is boyfriend Kanye West, who thinks his girlfriend is like a modern day Marilyn Monroe.
Kanye has blasted Vanity Fair magazine for featuring supermodel Kate Upton, 21, styled to look like the Some Like It Hot star, on the cover of its recent 100th anniversary issue and hailed his fiancee, 33, for being similar to the late legendary actress because she divides public opinion and is controversial.

The rapper told Chicago's Power 105.1 radio station on Tuesday morning: 'I have a love/hate relationship with the paparazzi but actually I love them because they empower us over, ya know Vanity Fair and Graydon Carter that wanna say Kate Upton is Marilyn Monroe.
'Kate Upton ain't Marilyn Monroe. Kim is Marilyn Monroe, you know that. She was controversial. She [is] controversial.'
OMG, it's perfect! Kim can't believe how good she looks as she takes another selfie on her phone

Meanwhile, Kanye believes he is similar to the late animator Walt Disney and Renaissance artist Michelangelo.
He said: 'I'm more like, a Walt Disney or something. Like, rap is just a chamber of my thoughts. It's something that I really wanted to express as a modern-day poet, because you know, if I had lived in a past lifetime, maybe I would have been a playwright or something.
'But in this lifetime, to be the most heard and the most relevant, the most relevant is to be a rap rock star. You can express at the highest level there.'

He added: 'I'm like Howard Hughes! I'm like [NBA commissioner] David Stern! I'm like Steve Jobs!'
The 36-year-old star also brushed off the idea that he may not be worthy of such comparisons.
He said: 'If anything, that's a compliment to them! I'm like Michelangelo. Because I'm the new version of that. This is a reality. I'm living inside of a dream world.'

Jennifer Aniston's Beloved Pooch Dolly Causes Pandemonium As She Pads Onto The Open Road After Escaping From Her Bel Air Home

She reportedly has a desire to turn her dog into a star – but judging by its recent behaviour beloved pooch Dolly is already perfecting some diva-like behaviour. 
Indeed, the white shepherd mix was spotted as it escaped from famous owner Jennifer Aniston’s sprawling home on Wednesday – prompting alarm from neighbours. 
She was joined by another, smaller dog, but while her companion was soon caught and led back into the grounds of Jennifer's Bel Air home, Dolly ventured out onto the open road.

Local residents and camped photographers joined forces to cajole the pooch back inside. 
While disaster was averted, news of their easy escape will not come easy to Jennifer, a devoted dog owner who adopted Dolly as a puppy in 2006.
    Earlier this year sources claimed she was warming to the idea of finding a suitable role for Dolly in one of her forthcoming movies. 
    ‘Jen taught Dolly to sit, shake and roll over in a few hours, so she’s convinced Dolly has the talent – she just needs the right training,’ an insider told Showbiz Spy.  ‘She even tried to get Dolly cast in her current movie, Squirrels To The Nuts.

    ‘Jen’s been grilling the dog trainers on the set for tips on finding the best possible training to get Dolly camera-ready.’ 
    The 44-year-old actress was devastated when Welsh corgi-terrier Norman, her dog of 15-years and a regular companion on the set of Friends, passed away in 2011. 
    Jennifer and fiancĂ© Justin Theroux later adopted distinctive black and white pit-bull pup Sophie as a replacement.

    ‘She's the most adorable little cookie you've ever seen,’ Theroux told New York Magazine of her distinctive features at the time. ‘She looks like she just smoked an exploding cigar.’
    While promoting Marley & Me, ironically about a couple’s relationship with a pet dog, Jennifer opened up about her affinity with animals. 
    She said: '(My dogs taught me about) patience and that sort of unconditional love - they're yours and especially you are theirs.
    'Men come and go but there really is no relationship like the one you have with a dog - and then they don't live as long as they should.
    'You have to say goodbye way too soon. It's just so sad. It makes me so sad. But their love is unconditional and I love that.'

    Atiku Abubakar Is The Best President Nigeria As A Country Is Yet To Have - Babangida Aliyu

    Abuja — AHEAD of 2015 Presidential election, chairman, Northern States Governors' Forum, NSGF and governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu said yesterday that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar remains the best president Nigeria as a country was yet to have.
    Speaking yesterday at the launch of the book, titled, "Landmark Constitutional Law Cases in Nigeria 2004-2007: The Atiku Abubakar Cases", at Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Centre, Abuja, Governor Aliyu who described Atiku Abubakar as one who could not be pushed aside when he was Vice President, however stressed that he had an understanding with his former boss, Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, hence any memo which did not have the backing of the former Vice President was considered dead on arrival, adding that each time he nodded his head at Federal Executive Council, FEC meetings, the memo scaled through and when he does anything to the contrary, the memo dies.
    Governor Babangida Aliyu who urged any politician who wants to contest for any election, being it Councilorship or Presidential, must budget for it and for the courts, adding, Atiku is "the best President Nigeria is yet to have."
    Meanwhile, the Special Guest of Honour of the event, President Goodluck Jonathan was absent, even as no one represented him.
    Speaking at the event, the Chief Host, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who noted that with his case, governors can now dump the party where they were hitherto elected for another party like what happened on Tuesday where G5 Governors dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for the All Progressives Congress, APC .
    According to him, the privilege of leaving the PDP without any persecution from 'above' was one of the dividends of the persecution he passed through as the Vice President, just as he said that other gains which could be attributed to his ordeal as the Second in Command under the Olusegun Obasanjo's government between 1999 and 2007 include the inability of the Independent National Electoral Commission to disqualify candidates duly nominated by political parties, among others.
    The former Presidential aspirant on the platform of PDP who called for strict adherence to rule of law, however hailed the judiciary, adding, "Today INEC can no longer disqualify candidates that have been duly nominated by their political parties. Today we know that a sitting president or governor may choose to humiliate his deputy, but he cannot remove him from office. The constitutional provision on that has been affirmed by our courts. Today, governors who are elected under a political party can freely defect to another party without persecution

    Lady Gaga Unveils Her Bizarre Japanese GAGADOLL...A Lifelike ARTPOP Listening Station With Killer Heels And Silicon Skin

    One Lady Gaga is enough for most people, but fans were treated to three of them on Wednesday when the outlandish star posted a bizarre new shot on Twitter. 
    Lined up on a sofa it’s hard to discern the real thing from her two lifelike doppelgangers, as Gaga – that’s her in the middle – shows off the remarkable new listening stations devoted to her music and ideology. 
    The 27-year-old singer is currently in Japan while she promotes third album ARTPOP, and she’s devoted some of her time to the Japanese creators of the new GAGADOLL. 

    Intricately constructed from a bone conversion system, the music player enables the user to listen to her latest album in its entirety by placing an ear to its heart. 
    It also includes messages from the star, whose promotional campaign for ARTPOP is taking her across the globe.
    In a tweet added to the latest shot on her Twitter account she writes: ‘Who needs barbies when you can own your own life size pop star that sings to you #gagadollz." Hey, Santa? Is it too late to add this to my Christmas list?’

    Dressed in a smart white suit, the doll to her left is wearing the outfit used as a finishing touch in a recent promotional video, which reduces the entire painstaking process to a compressed 90-second montage. 
    The video ends with an awestruck Japanese fan leaning in for a listen, a look of apparent rapture on his face as the chorus of ARTPOP'S lead single Applause bursts out.

    The lifelike listening stations were crafted into the singer’s likeness with the aid of special silicon, which enables them to ape some of her facial expressions. 
    They also wear her trademark shades and killer heels, while the general flexibility of its limbs means it isn’t restricted to one position. 
    A source told MailOnline: 'It's currently purely promotional, and is still to be confirmed on whether it will be available to buy.'
    On Wednesday Gaga also posted a shot in which she enjoys a pint of beer over dinner after selling more than a million copies of ARTPOP worldwide. 
    ‘We’re listening to G.U.Y+celebrating over 1.2 million ARTPOP albums worldwide and 7 sold out shows at Roseland!’ she tweeted. 
    Despite reaching the landmark ARTPOP has failed to scale the heights achieved by its predecessor, Born This Way. 
    That album raked in 1.108 million units during its first week of sale in the United States.
