Oscar-Winner Jodie Foster Marries Ellen DeGeneres's Ex

Jodie Foster has married her girlfriend Alexandra Hedison. The two-time Oscar winner has been dating the 44-year-old photographer for almost a year.

The couple have kept their relationship private but have been seen together at events in Los Angeles and New York. Few details have been revealed about their wedding which was at the weekend.

Hedison dated TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres for three years before splitting in 2004.

Foster, 51, made a speech at last year's Golden Globes which was widely seen as her official coming-out.

'I've Never Posed Nude, Would Never Pose or Act Nude' - Cossy Orjiakor

Nollywood actress Cossy Orjiakor in a new interview with Punch says she cannot pose or act nude in any movie. Infact, she does not believe she has ever done so. Even when reminded that her big breasts appear to always  be ‘on air’, Punch reports Cossy tries to convince one that the essential portion of the boobs – her nipples – are always concealed. In her own calculation, therefore, she cannot be said to have been posing nude.
And her reason for this decision is: Her mother, with whom she says she maintains a very cordial relationship, has warned her against doing so.
Cossy says:

“I have a cordial relationship with my followers on social media and I block people who say negative things about me because I just don’t like the negative vibes. So if people see a picture I took by 2 am and see it is offensive, then it is okay by me. Truth is I have a very good heart and am very emotional to people I care about. But no matter what I do, I always remember my mother’s advice that, no matter what I do, I must never go nude in a movie or outside the set. I can’t do anything for money if my comfort is at stake.” 

Man Gets Death Penalty For Raping Girl & Infecting Her With HIV

An Islamic court in Kano has sentenced a man to be stoned to death for raping a 13-year-old girl and infecting her with HIV. Such sentences under strict Sharia laws have been passed before but never carried out in Kano state. Past sentences have been commuted to life in prison.

The defendant, Ubale Sa’idu Dotsa, testified Wednesday that the Devil instigated him to have sex with the girl. The 63-year-old said he did not know he was infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Dotsa argued that the teenager tempted him by visiting his shop often at night.

Magistrate Faruk Ahmed ignored his plea for mercy. He said Dotsa was a married man who had committed adultery, which is punishable by death by stoning.

Bessem told Punch

“I have not seen my children for nine months and our lawyers agreed that I could come see them at home after school hours by 5pm. I went to the house at the appointed time, but my children were not there. I had to wait outside in the compound until 10pm before my husband arrived; the children were not with him. They were later brought home by the driver about 12am. By then it was clear I couldn’t leave again, I had to spend the night. Continue...

Chris Brown To Remain In Jail Until June

According to TMZ: Chris Brown will rot behind bars until June — at the very least — because the singer’s latest bid for freedom was just DENIED.

Brown — who was jailed last month after getting booted from rehab — was flown to D.C. and promptly jailed as he awaited trial in his assault case.

The trial was supposed to start today … but it was just postponed until June.

Brown asked the judge in the Rihanna beating case to release him, but the judge just shut him down.
