Mumbai's beef ban

On March 2, the president of India cleared the way for the
Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) Bill to become
law, almost 20 years after it was first passed by the state
legislature. The law imposes a comprehensive ban on the
slaughter of bulls, bullocks and calves - in addition to cows,
which have been protected from slaughter since 1976.

Miranda Lambert

The country star, who will perform with the "All About That Bass" singer at the Country Music Awards, said she has yet to meet the newcomer with the year's biggest hit. "I've not met Meghan yet, but we've been texting back and forth," Lambert said in an interview Monday in Nashville, Tennessee, where the CMAs will be held Wednesday. "We've listened to 'All About That Bass' probably about a thousand times this summer on the tour, so I already know it, obviously."

See Amaechi

Wike cannot mobilize any grassroot outside his Ikwerre ethnic nationality. GEJ and PDP know this; they will not give him the party ticket. How can Ikwerre rule for over 8 years then they want to continue? Wike can be likened to Goliath so big and so formidable but its a small stone that will end it all.

Amber Rose Sex video

American model, recording artist, actress, socialite and former stripper Amber Rose has been caught up in a sex tape video scandal made before she gave the stripper lifestyle up and after hooking up with Wiz Khalifa generating the Amber Rose sex tape video buzz. The video that is said to feature a man that looks stunningly like Kim Kardashian’s current man Kanye West features the two in a fancy hotel with Amber showing her stripper skills in full detail. She starts off giving the “un-known” male oral for a bit then proceeds to let him hit it from behind all recorded by the male featured in the video for approximately 25min.

Calls to Amber’s reps have gone un-returned though she has gone on record stating ...
