Happy 37th Birthday, Kanye West!

Kanye West has yet another reason to celebrate today.

The rapper, who married Kim Kardashian two weeks ago (perhaps you heard about it) turns 37 today, his first birthday since becoming both a father and a husband.

West is yet to actually speak out since exchanging vows with the former sex tape star, as the couple only recently returned from its honeymoon in Ireland.

Reports have claimed he's clashing with Kim over his desire to have a second child; and also over her exposing daughter North to the paparazzi, but we'll assume these issues have been placed on the backburner in honor of Kanye's big day.

He's now 37 years old!!! Join us in sending the artist some birthday wishes

Super Hot Rihanna's Poster Banned From Areas With Children (18+)

You a have a unique chance to enjoy Rihanna's perfume poster that has been banned in areas where children are likely to see it.
WARNING - NUDITY

Rihanna's ad poster was banned in areas with children
After Riri's scandalous appearance in a super-see-through dress at the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards (CFDA), it's hard to imagine how else a kinky pop-star can shock you. This time a candid and provocative ad poster was banned by the Advertising Standards Agency for being offensively sexual, demeaning to women. Such a decision was taken after a single complaint was sent to the agency by one of the disgruntled citizens.
The advert shows a singer on the floor with her head and shoulders leaning against a wall and her legs raised against a large bottle of Rogue perfume. Although the company, Parlux Fragrances, that took part in creating the poster tried to convince the agency workers that Rihanna's image shows a strong woman 'one with the courage to challenge boundaries' and does not reflect improper nudity or offensive or suggestive imagery, their attempts failed.

It is not the first time Rihanna's advert has caused controversy, in 2012 two explicit posters brought her a status of a 'no go' for the brand’s family image
In a statement the Advertising Standards Authority said: "While we did not consider the image to be overtly sexual, we considered that Rihanna’s pose, with her legs raised in the air, was provocative. Because of this, and the fact that Rihanna appeared to be naked except for high heels, we concluded that the ad was sexually suggestive and should have been given a placement restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children."
It is not the first time Rihanna's advert has caused controversy. Only in 2012 at least two explicit posters caused mixed reactions and brought her a status of a 'no go' for the brand’s family image. Rihanna has also appeared in racy advertisements for Armani, Budweiser, Mac and French fashion range Balmain.

Selena Gomez "Feels Sorry" for Justin Bieber Following Racist Video Leak

Selena Gomez doesn't want Justin Bieber back - she's made that much clear on several occasions.
Still, their on and off relationship went on for years (and Bieber took Gomez' virginity, a fact he brings up whenever given the chance) ,so it's only natural that she still has some emotions attached to her former flame.

According to sources close to Selena, in the wake of the Bieber racist video scandal, those emotions mostly take the form of pity for her jackass ex.
Sources close to Selena say that the singer "feels sorry" for Justin and has expressed a desire to see him get the help that he needs.
That said, her camp has reportedly encouraged to keep her distance from Justin while this scandal plays out, so we guess he'll have to look elsewhere for a shoulder to cry on.
We're sure that bony shoulder will belong to a runway model, as Justin's mind-blowingly racist videos seem to have not hurt his standing in the celebrity community at all.
Entertainers ranging from Lil Wayne to Whoopi Goldberg have come to Justin's defense and offered a wide array of explanations for his bizarrely racist "jokes." 
Only time will tell what sort of impact these clips will have on Justin's career in the long-term, but one this is for certain, as more videos leak showing a very ugly side of Justin, Selena must become more and more certain that she made the right choice in going her own way.

Chris Brown, Karrueche Celebrate Jail Release at Welcome Home Party: See the Pics!

Chris Brown celebrated his release from jail Thursday night at a big bash in his honor, partying with girlfriend Karrueche Tran and a bunch of friends.
Even as he swears he's never going back to jail and is ready to cut toxic influences (and substances) out of his life to ensure that he keeps it clean.

Brown arrived with Karrueche, who blindfolded him before bringing him inside, where the crowd went crazy as his song "Loyal" played in the background.
Along the stars on hand: Tyga, Big Sean, Amber Rose and T-Pain, who tells TMZ there was no weed inside ... though some attendees looked out of it.
Even if there were temptations there, you can't blame the R&B singer, who didn't know about the event and reportedly didn't partake in any drinking.
Another source insists that despite the famous crowd, it was low-key.
"Everyone was in an amazing mood and happy to have Chris back," an insider dished. "Karreuche was there and everybody was talking about how supportive she's been."
That part is undeniably true. They're a modern-day John and Yoko.
Brown tweeted about his release from jail in the early hours of June 2, writing, "Humbled and Blessed ... Back to the Music and the Fans ... Thank you GOD."
Chris is said to be overwhelmingly grateful to Karrueche for her support. "They gave each other kisses, and he put his arms around her here and there."
Here's hoping she - and the rest of the people close to Brown - keep supporting him in a positive way and helping him turn his troubled life around.

Less than a month after the end of the league season in England, Arsenal have made their first signing of the summer transfer window.

According to reports, the Gunners have agreed a deal to sign Greek youngster, Elias Chatzitheodoridis after he impressed coaching staff during a recent trial spell.
It was gathered that the 17-year-old player was training part-time at Arsenal’s academy in Greece when his huge talent became apparent.

The veteran coach recently assured the Gunners' loyal supporters that big changes would be coming over the summer and the club continues to be linked with a host of big name targets incluing Sami Khedira,  Karim Benzema and Loic Remy.

Nigerian Entertainment Industry To Hold First Health Insurance Convention

The awareness and knowledge of health insurance among the practitioners of the Nigerian entertainment industry has become imperative. Due to the absence of it, the industry has lost several of its well loved musicians and actors to dreadful sicknesses like renal failure, fatal accidents and other vices while trying to raise funds. This has however necessitated the need for a well structured health insurance policy and cover for the entertainment industry.

The Nigerian Entertainment Industry Health Insurance Convention is designed as a customized learning and education platform for the practitioners of the entertainment industry and invariably members of the public at large to understand the importance of health insurance and at the same time embrace it.

The convention seeks to create special insurance covers and policies for the practitioners of the entertainment industry. Also, to illuminate complex issues of health care practice and policy by bringing together leading-edge doers and thinkers - from operations to academia, from clinical practice to corporate management.  The convention delineates perspectives of stakeholders throughout the healthcare community in addressing broad issues and the type of health insurance to go for.

Some of topics to be discussed at the convention are; The health implications of celebrity life styles, Benefits of Health Insurance Policies, Health Insurance Policy …at what cost?, The health insurance policy…how dependable? and The Role of Government in Health Insurance Policies

The convention is presented by Nigerian Entertainment Industry Lecture Series (NEILS) and is in partnership with National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Lagos State Ministry of Health and Nigeria Medical Association. It is billed to hold on July 22nd, 2014 at the Grand Ball Room of Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.

It is absolutely very sad seeing our entertainers beg for money from fans and government alike when they are down with life threatening ailments. Other professionals suffer similar fates and sometimes they cannot afford treatment but they seldom embark on aggressive media campaigns of such magnitudes like their entertainment counterparts. This has however resulted to a big shame and public ridicule.
