Lady Gaga Vomited On During Performance

Lady Gaga has been left covered in vomit during a performance at the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival.

The controversial singer, whose last album ARTPOP saw poor sales figures, began her appearance in Austin, Texas, by roasting herself on a spit like a pig. Her dancers appeared to baste her with barbecue brushes while she sang the song Swine.

The set at Stubbs BBQ restaurant also featured a woman eating barbecued sausages in a provocative manner. Soon after completing the smoked meats portion of her hour-long show, Gaga, dressed in black underwear with long blonde dreadlocks, invited her friend Millie Brown on stage to assist.
Brown, a "vomit painter," proceeded to drink a full bottle of neon green liquid before forcing herself to throw up on the singer as she played the drums.

The concert was held to benefit her Born This Way Foundation and between the provocative behaviour, Gaga took time to thank her fans.

According to NY Daily News Confidenti@al reports: Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are on the fast track to splitsville, a well-placed source tells Confidenti@l. 

The duo, who announced their engagement in 2012 and married in July 2013 at Chateau des Conde in Vallery, France, have recently been living separate lives, we hear.

Once paparazzi darlings, Berry, 47, and Martinez, 48, have not been seen in public together in months. Making whispers of their split even stronger, Berry was not wearing her wedding ring as the special guest at a post-Oscars party. Meanwhile, Martinez was nowhere to be seen.

Photo: Biola Ige Refuses To Make Comment On Nudity Saga

A particular picture of two Nollywood actors has been circulating online. And they named the girl in the act Biola Ige, I googled her, and I don’t think they are the same person, but then… So a journalist got in touch with her this morning and asked what she has got to say about her semi-nude picture circulating online, and Biola gave a shocking reply. Her words;

'Thanks for calling but at this period. I shall not be talking but I appreciate the fact that you called and I promise that soon when I have something to say I will call you'.

Really? Is she enjoying this ‘fame’? What’s there in saying it was leaked and I feel bad, or it’s not my pic or it was simply Photoshopped?

However, it was alleged that some of the landlords who occupied the land refused to comply with the court judgment.

Jamaican Star Vybz Kartel Found Guilty of Murder

After a trial that has lasted over 65 days, embattled dance-hall superstar Vybz Kartel has been found guilty of murder.
Kartel, 38, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, had been in custody since September 2011 and went on trial on November 20. He was charged with the murder of 27-year-old Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams. Prosecutors had alleged Clive Williams was beaten to death at Kartel's home in August 2011 after being lured there to answer
for two missing illegal guns. His body has never been found.

Police testified they retrieved a text message from Kartel's phone saying Williams was chopped up in a "mincemeat" so fine that his remains would never be found.


The 11-member jury handed down its verdict less than two hours after deliberations began. Also found guilty were Kartel’s associates, Shawn Campbell (a.k.a. Shawn Storm), Kahira Jones and Andre St. John; a fourth associate, Shane Williams, received the sole non-guilty verdict.

UN Rights Chief Blasts Nigeria Over Same-Sex Marriage Ban

The UN rights chief, Navi Pillay, Thursday said Nigeria’s recent ban on same-sex marriage violated human rights and the nation’s constitution.

“I’m concerned with the implication of the recently-passed Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act,” Pillay said during a meeting with Nigeria’s justice minister as part of her three-day official visit to Africa’s most populous nation.

“In addition to the violation of fundamental human rights enshrined in the ICCPR (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), it is a violation also of the African Charter and the Nigerian constitution itself,” she said.

Nigeria has been under fire internationally for banning gay marriage and alleged abuses while tackling Islamist insurgents in the north of the country.

President Goodluck Jonathan had in January approved a bill banning gay marriage and same-sex partnerships that sparked international condemnation.
