I didn't grow up the popular girl- Wendy Williams talks on tortuous childhood!

With her 50th birthday coming up on July 18, talk show host Wendy Williams spoke to ABC's Dan Kloeffler on Tuesday about her new stand-up comedy show "Lipshtick" in Las Vegas.
The show hits Vegas on July 11 and is part of a bucket list Williams had before the big birthday, including doing karaoke for the first time, driving a monster truck and of course, stand-up comedy.
"I've always been told I was funny," she admitted. "So, I said, 'I would like to do an evening of stand up.'"
Her jokes will be "the Wendy no one has ever seen," said Williams, adding they will come from personal experience.
"I had a very tortured childhood," she said. "I was tortured, they fat shamed me ... So, I want to talk about growing up. I want to answer the big question about the boobs. People know they are breast implants, but a lot of people, I read and see, 'You've lost so much weight now, you need a breast reduction.' I will answer you straight and direct, if you are in Vegas."
Williams also will address gender in her jokes.
"People do think I was born a man," she said. "That is absolutely not [true]. I get it. I've got a strong face, a strong body, I'm 5'11. I wear wigs."
Williams added that in her opinion, "there's no worse way to insult a woman than by saying she looks like a man, but once a woman gets over that, there is no stronger woman."
After a celebrated radio career, Williams learned early on, when celebrities "invite you to stuff, don't go."
She said, for her personally, "it taints my 'Hot Topics,'" a segment where she gets to riff on celebrities.
"It also taints my celebrity culture," she said.
Of course, she will have guests on her show, but usually she likes to do her show in Manhattan and then go back to New Jersey "and mind my own damn business."
She added the celebrity life isn't tempting because, "I didn't grow up the popular girl or the popular cheerleader. I've never been to a prom, I didn't have a lot of boyfriends, so I'm used to be on this side of life."
So, now with a hit talk show, she's still the same Wendy and just wants to go home, not to celebrity events.

Prostitute Injected Google Exec With Heroin, Left Him to Die on Yacht!

More than seven months after a 51 year-old Silicon Valley executive was found dead on his yacht of an apparent overdose, Police said they have uncovered new video evidence that reveals he may have been murdered.
26 year-old Alix Tichelman, described by the Police as a high-end call girl, is believed to be the woman in the video injecting Forrest Hayes withsubstance suspected to be heroin during a date together in November 2013.
According to Santa Cruz Police, officers posed as a potential client and met up with Tichelman in a hotel on July 4 and arrested her.
She appeared in court today on manslaughter and drugs charges but did not enter a plea. Tichelman is being held on $1.5 million bail.
Initially it was thought that Hayes, who had worked at Apple and was employed by Google at the time of his death, died of an overdose on his yacht, "The Escape."
How Tichelman was uncovered:
The newly uncovered surveillance video shows a woman, who Santa Cruz police say is Tichelman, administering the drugs and never trying to help Hayes or to call authorities when it was clear something had gone terribly wrong, Deputy Chief Steve Clark said.
"She was so callous that in gathering her things, she was literally stepping over the body and at one point stepped over the body to grab a glass of wine and finish the glass of wine," Clark told KGO-TV.
Investigators took Tichelman's fingerprints from the wine glass, according to KGO-TV
An obituary posted in the Santa Cruz Sentinel describes Hayes as a husband and father to five children.
"More than anything else he enjoyed spending time with his family at home and on his boat," the obituary said. "His brilliant mind, contagious smile, and warm embrace will be missed and cherished in memories by his friends and family." The obituary read.

Local hunters rescue 30 out of 200 abducted Nigerian school girls!


Chibok Hunters
The CableNG Newspaper reports that 30 out of the over 200 Chibok school girls kidnapped from the community by Boko Haram in April and an additional two young victims have been reportedly rescued by some local hunters.
It was alleged that the hunters stormed the sect’s hideout and successfully rescued 30 of the Chibok school girls, a young boy and another 10-year-old girl.
A military source who reportedly spoke to The CableNG says, “All 32 escapees and the hunters who helped them to escape are currently with soldiers.”
Now that it's obviously up to some local hunters to rescue our girls, i sincerely want to think the military still have their plans on how to tackle the escalating insecurity situation in Nigeria.

FIFA suspends Nigeria!


The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), was today suspended by the world football governing body FIFA, for government interference.
A statement published on FIFA’s website on Wednesday, confirmed that its Emergency Committee reached the verdict because of a breach of its Statutes, as it concerns a member association independently running their affairs.
The decision follows a letter sent by FIFA to the NFF on 4 July, where it expressed great concern after the NFF was served with court proceedings and consequently an order preventing the president of the NFF, the NFF Executive Committee members and the NFF Congress from running the affairs of Nigerian football was granted by a High Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The statement stated that: “The suspension will be lifted once the properly elected NFF executive committee, the NFF general assembly and the NFF administration are able to work without any interference in their affairs.”
Last week, the Aminu Maigari-led board were sacked by a court that sat in Plateau and a NFF congress which confirmed his dismissal were warned by FIFA, but the NFF chose to go ahead and risk FIFA’s wrath.

Well, seems like they got the wrath.

Nigerian Army absolves personnel of brt mayhem induced by soldier's death!

Information reaching us revealed that the Nigerian Army has absolved her personnel of mayhem caused by soldier's death.

This came as it was confirmed that one of its personnel allegedly hit by a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicle last Friday in Lagos, died.

News has it that although the Army gave the rank of the deceased as a lance corporal, they declined to give his identity for security reasons.
In a statement from 81 Division of the Nigerian Army on Tuesday, and reportedly signed by its spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Omale Ochagwuba, the Nigerian Army denied that personnel of the force were responsible for burning down brt vehicles along Ikorodu road Lagos.
A lance corporal of Nigerian Army, who was on his way to the office on Ikorodu Road around Obanikoro area between 6:30 and 6:45am was knocked down and killed by a BRT bus with registration number KSF 995 XJ.
“It is pertinent to state here that the late soldier was riding a power bike approved by the state government and he was neither riding inside a BRT lane nor was the BRT bus that killed him driving inside the BRT lane.
“The innocent law-abiding soldier was killed on the normal lane being plied by everybody as against what is being alleged by some sections of the media. The soldier was hit from the rear and killed instantly.”
The Army absolved its personnel of any blame for the mayhem induced by the soldier’s death.
“The mayhem that was visited on the BRT buses was the handiwork of hoodlums who seized the opportunity of the tragic situation to vent their anger on the buses for reasons best known to them.
“We know the peculiar nature of Lagos, where miscreants always take advantage of situations like this to cause havoc. In a situation like this, people are bound to wrongfully accuse soldiers because they were seen around the offending bus which was not even attacked.
“With careful analysis of the incident, one will observe that the BRT buses vandalised were far removed from the scene of the accident.” He said.
