Tamara Green Sues Bill Cosby For Previous Abuse Denial

One of the (many, many) women accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault is suing him for previously denying that he ever touched her. Clearly, she doesn't agree.
Tamara Green claims Cosby drugged her during a lunch date, then groped her at her apartment, after the two had gone on a date back in the early '70s.

Green has made this claim twice before:

1. In 2005, on NBC's Today, in an interview surrounding the comedian
2. In interviews with Newsweek and the Washington Post this year

Now, obviously, she's back at it.
A retired attorney, Green has now filed a defamation lawsuit against Cosby in Massachusetts, claiming Cosby's repeated lies (via his team) have branded her a liar.

Green says she's been ridiculed in her private life and professionally as a result of Cosby, and is looking to drag him into court as a result of this angle.
Which is what it is, an angle to get around allegations that are decades old and unlikely to result in any police action (though the LAPD says it may investigate Cosby).

His denials are more recent than the alleged crimes, so Green's suit - like the lawsuit filed by Judy Huth under a different pretense - could make it to court.

Regardless, it's yet another sad chapter in a troubling pattern of allegations that have exploded in the past month, but Patton Oswalt says it has been long known.

According to Oswalt, there may be literally hundreds of women beyond the 20 or so that have come forward with similar, disturbing stories about Cosby.

Kate Middleton Shows Off Baby Bump at NYU Fundraiser

It looks as though Kate Middleton and Prince William's trip to New York is coming to a close, and as expected, the royal couple bid the Big Apple farewell in style and got fully glammed-up for an NYU fundraiser.
On Monday, Kate was sweated on by Lebron James, but by Tuesday she was in fully-primped princess mode and ready to hobnob with NYC's glitterati.

 

Kate and William attended an NYU fundraiser last night. As usual, they were both the picture of class.

Yes, Kate was gorgeous and Will looked dapper, as usual, but in the gallery above, you'll find one photo that's raised some concerns over the wellbeing of both Kate and her second baby.
In the pic, Kate can be seen sipping from what appears to be a large glass of champagne. The sound you her is the first rumbling of Internet outrage.

Now it's important to point out that 1. We have no idea if it's actually champagne, and 2. Even if it is, most doctors will tell you one drink is very unlikely to harm a fetus in any way.

Still, sipping bubbly in public may be considered a bad move for the Duchess from a purely PR standpoint.
Considering Kate's severe morning sickness and other pregnancy complications forced her to cancel a number of official public appearances, some Brits might be offended by the knowledge that she's suddenly healthy enough to jet off to NYC, sip champagne, and hang with Jay Z and Beyonce.

Kate can never win with the press, but it certainly seems like she's winning in every other area of her life.

Khloe Kardashian Laments About Her Divorce With Lamar Odom

It's been all over between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom for about one year now.
In December of 2013 - following talk of hardcore drug use and rampant infidelity rumors, Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar, ending a union of approximately four years.
And she still hasn't gotten over it.

              Lamar Odom poses here with Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian.

 

The reality star once again took to Instagram last night to share a profound quote with followers, one that clearly references her split from Odom.

"What was it like to lose him,' asked Sorrow," Kardashian wrote online. "There was a long pause before I responded: It was like hearing every goodbye said to me said all at once."
Double sad face, huh?

Since choosing to end things with Odom, Kardashian has famously dated French Montana.
They first got together this spring, split in late summer and then rekindled their romance a couple months ago. But insiders confirm Khloe and Montana broke up for good just last month.

What does the future therefore hold for Khloe Kardashian? Will she ever move on past Odom? It's unclear at the moment.

We hope she finds true love that lasts forever and ever.

Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Bad Breath

No one likes to hear it, but it's worse not to know it: You have bad breath.

Bad breath (also known as halitosis or malodor) can be embarrassing and tough on those around you. Some people don't realize their breath could peel paint because people are afraid to tell them.

Certainly bad breath can ruin relationships.

Morning breath is a common occurrence, but all-day halitosis isn't something you should accept as the norm. Even if garlic and onions are on your daily menu, there could be other reasons your mouth reeks. Dr. Margaret Mitchell, DDS, founder of Chicago-based Mitchell Dental Spa, says you don't have to live with bad breath and shares her top halitosis-halting dental health tips.

Brush your teeth

If you're a teeth-brushing slacker, it's no wonder you have smelly breath. Dr. Mitchell says, "Step one in keeping your breath minty fresh is to follow the steps of basic care and cleaning for your teeth and gums — this includes brushing after meals, flossing daily and scheduling bi-annual dental appointments to keep cavities and bacteria at bay." The dental expert also warns that halitosis may be a sign of a serious dental issue. "Anything from a rotting tooth to an abscess to unclean dentures can turn breath really nasty, and for more serious dental problems it is extremely important to seek professional treatment," she adds.
 

DIY bad breath tests:

• Wipe a piece of gauze on your tongue — if it is has a yellow tinge or smells, you have high levels of sulfides in your body causing the bad breath.
• Lick the back of your hand... wait 10 minutes and smell your hand — the sulfur salts (if present) will remain and leave your hand smelling bad.
• Floss your back teeth and smell the floss.

Face the facts

Do your friends keep their distance from you when you're discussing the latest reality TV series? Do they complain you have bad breath and you have no idea what they are talking about? Dr. Mitchell says you may be oblivious to your bad breath and advises doing a bad breath test. "Consider checking in with your dentist and using a bad breath meter such as Halimeter because this machine measure the amount of sulfides in your breath," she explains. "You can also do a breath test at home."

Follow a better breath diet

According to Dr. Mitchell, simply adding crisp fruits and vegetables to your daily intake can clean your chops naturally by removing plaque and food particles from in between your teeth and gums. Incorporating more fresh produce into your diet will also deliver a delicious dose of antioxidants and other phytonutrients that can boost your dental and overall health.

Tame your tongue

Did you know that your tongue, especially on top in the back of mouth, is a serious source of halitosis? "Bacteria love to linger on the back of this muscle (your tongue), and it's a location where food can easily get trapped and rot, causing odor," says Dr. Mitchell. "Invest in a tongue scraper — it will save you a fortune on gum and mints."

Go herbal to get rid of halitosis

Schedule tea time every day to help you keep bad breath at bay. "Sipping natural remedies like black and green tea can alleviate bad breath naturally by zapping bacteria that breeds in the mouth," Dr. Mitchell explains. She also recommends spicing up your meals with the Indian spice cardamom to curb halitosis.

Ditch the low-carb diet

Still following a low-carb diet? Dr. Mitchell doesn't recommend it when it comes to wanting to be halitosis-free. Low-carb diets lead to your body releasing ketones, which are foul-smelling chemicals that get exuded through your breath.

Chew sugarless gum

Chewing gum can freshen your breath — if it is sugarless gum. "Make sure to check the label and see that your gum is sugarless since bacteria in the mouth are apt to ferment sugar, thereby making your icky breathe even worse," Dr. Mitchell says. "While you're at it you might consider slashing sugar from the rest of your diet as well to freshen your breath."

Drink and drink some more

Staying adequately hydrated isn't just good for your health, it's a great way to wash away halitosis. "As long as you stay continually hydrated, your mouth will release enzymes through your saliva that wipe out bad bacteria — and bad breath," Dr. Mitchell adds.

Check your prescriptions

"If you can’t seem to pinpoint the source of your chronic foul fumes, you might want to search for the source in your medicine cabinet," Dr. Mitchell advises. " Certain medicines like blood pressure pills, anti-depressants and antihistamines contribute to dry mouth, and thus, a toxic taste (and odor) in your mouth." The dental expert recommends talking to your doctor.

Get a physical

Speaking of doctors, if you've tried everything and your bad breath is still lingering, Dr. Mitchell suggests making an appointment to get a physical. She adds, "Bad breath can sometimes be an underlying symptom of other health problems, including liver problems, reflux, diabetes and sinus infections."

16 Characteristics of REAL Love: Must Read

Love. It makes the world go 'round, right? Well, at least that's the how the saying goes. But is it true? It should be, but so many people confuse love with things like jealousy or possessiveness. True love isn't either of those things. But these 16 things are.
 
So here are the characteristics of REAL love:
1. Love means letting go of expectations.
Sure, we all want people to behave the way we want them to. We want them to be more affectionate. Or more outgoing. Or smarter. Or more ambitious. All of these things are expectations. Expectations are just your requirements for "acceptability" of loving someone. But true love has no expectations. It simply loves "as is."
2. Love doesn't play the victim role or blame others.
Love doesn't think others are "out to get them." Love doesn't think their loved ones are wrong. Love works together. It takes responsibility. It forgives and allows other people's actions to be their journey. Love doesn't take things personally.
3. Love includes letting go.
Love doesn't equal possession. Just as the saying goes, "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesn't, then it never was." There is truth to that. Love allows people their freedom. It doesn't hold tightly and crush their wings in attempt to keep them. True love doesn't want to possess. It is willing to set you free if you want to be.
4. Love doesn't require you to continue a relationship.
You may love someone very much, but you may not be compatible with them. Or they may drive you crazy with their continued disregard for your feelings. You can still love them, but that doesn't mean you have to be with them. Love doesn't mean that you have to stay, and stay and stay. You can leave the relationship and love them anyway.
5. Love has no room for jealousy.
Like possession, jealousy doesn't equal love. We think that if we're not jealous of our loved ones that it means that we don't love them. True love has confidence in the quality of the relationship. It knows that the other person is happy and content coming back to you and only you.
6. Love is the absence of fear.
You can put all emotions on a continuum. On one end, you have love. Then appreciation. After that, it's joy, happiness, contentment and satisfaction. On the opposite end of the continuum of love is fear. Other fear-based emotions include, hatred, insecurity, jealousy or greed.
7. Love is not needing and wanting.
One of the things we try to teach kids is that there is a clear difference between a want and a need. Needing someone is a feeling based in fear. You fear that you can't live without them, so you need them. And remember, fear is the opposite of love. Wanting someone in your life gives them the freedom to leave, but still shows them you love them.
8. Love is an action, not just a feeling.
Humans tend to be addicted to intense emotion -- especially when it feels good. So, when we're in love, we want to feel that way forever. But guess what? That higher than "Cloud 9" feeling goes away after a while. That doesn't mean you don't love the other person anymore, it just means that it's not new anymore. So that's where the action needs to kick in. Show the person you love them. Don't just assume they know.
9. Love is unconditional.
The word 'unconditional' means that there are no expectations or limitations set. To love unconditionally is a difficult thing, and most humans aren't good at that. But true love really does love without trying to change the other person.
10. Love means putting other people's needs equal to -- or before -- your own.
While people may be inherently selfish for survival purposes, this does not serve us well in relationships. If you don't put other people's needs at least equal to your own, they will grow resentful. Real love truly, genuinely cares about other people's happiness and will go to great lengths to make people feel valued.
11. Love is the highest vibration emotion that there is.
Science has proven that emotions like love and fear have very different vibrations. They can actually measure them. Love vibrates very fast, whereas fear-based emotions (think jealousy, possessiveness, hatred, greed, etc.) vibrate very slowly. When you love completely and unconditionally, there is no fear involved. The vibrations of love make you feel good at all times.
12. Love requires attention.
Love doesn't ignore. It doesn't look the other way. It wants to be present and be together. When people are in love, sometimes they think that they don't have to "do any more work." But real love actually enjoys giving attention to another person. It feels good, and doesn't see giving attention to another person as a chore.
13. Love understands and accepts differences.
Let's face it: We're all different. Even identical twins aren't exactly the same. They have different experiences and outlooks about the world. Real love doesn't make other people wrong for being different. When people truly love another person, they accept their differences.
14. Love varies in how it is expressed and accepted.
What makes us "feel loved" varies. In the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, he explains the different ways people give and receive love: (1) Words (2) Acts of Service, (3) Giving Gifts, (4) Spending Time Together and (5) Touch. It's important to discover other people's love language so you can understand each other and give love in a way that the other person recognizes it.
15. Love makes you feel good, not bad.
Many people confuse being in a relationship with love. Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean there is true love present. If there is jealousy, possessiveness, constant fighting, abuse (verbal, emotional or physical), that is not love. Refer back to #6. Those are fear-based emotions and actions.
16. Love has empathy.
Empathy is the ability to put yourself into another person's shoes and see a situation from his/her point of view. Love has deep empathy. "When you hurt, I hurt." People who truly love one another don't want to hurt them. They want them to feel good. They care about their feelings and try everything they can to make them feel valued and worthy.

Remember, love is happiness, appreciation and feeling good. Anything other than that is not love. If we all loved one another as ourselves, the world would be a better place!

6-MONTH-OLD BABY STOLEN IN JANUARY RECOVERED

A Lagos Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ajegunle, Apapa, has recovered a six-month-old baby allegedly stolen by one Charles Isiobor.

 

The court subsequently freed Isiobor after it was established that the child had been reunited with his mother.

The child, who was identified simply as Lifted, was reportedly stolen on January 4, while his mother, Rita Innocent, a resident of the Iba area of the state, went out to buy something.

 

Isiobor was said to have connived with an accomplice, who was still at large, to steal the baby.

 

It was learnt that Isiobor’s brother had dated Innocent before leaving the country for abroad. She was said to have got pregnant during the period, resulting in Lifted’s birth.

 

Punch gathered that the defendant committed the alleged crime on the claim that the woman was wayward.

 

PUNCH Metro learnt that Isiobor had denied the knowledge of the child’s whereabouts until he was arraigned by the police before a magistrate, Mrs. O.I. Adelaja, on five counts bordering on stealing.

 

The magistrate, after admitting him to bail, ordered that the baby be produced in the court before the adjourned date.

 

The charges read in part, “That you, Charles Isiobor, of Olayemi Street, Iba New Site, and one other at large, on January 4, 2014, in the Apapa Magisterial District, did conspire among yourselves to commit felony to wit; stealing of a six-month-old child.

 

“That you, and one other now at large, on the same date, time and place, in the aforementioned magisterial district, did steal Lifted, the son of one Rita Innocent.

 

“That you, and one other at large, on the same date, time and place, did unlawfully refuse to disclose information concerning the whereabouts of the stolen baby belonging to Rita Innocent, which you actually know and thereby committed an offense punishable Under Section 98 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.

 

The defendant, who was admitted to bail in the sum of N200,000 with a surety, was freed on Monday by Adelaja following the report to the court that the child had been reunited with his mother.

12 Problems Only Girls With Big Butts Understand

Let's be real: There's never been a better time to have a big butt. Booty celebration is everywhere you look, from Meghan Trainor's hit song to Kim Kardashian's new Paper magazine cover. So now more than ever, those of us with a little (or a lot) of meat on our behinds are being encouraged to shake it, show it off, and embrace what we've got. Awesome!

Still, all of this big booty love can't erase the inevitable problems that come with the perks. Hey, with great power comes great responsibility, right? Here are just a few burdens that the big-bootied bear.

1. No jeans fitting correctly, ever. Either you can't pull them over your butt, or you wind up with a huge gap in the waist. There is no in between.

2. All skirts and dresses are too short in the back. Oh, that office-appropriate pencil skirt you love? It's more club-appropriate on your booty. 

3. Forget squeezing between tables at restaurants. Or aisles at movie theatres. Your butt is an independent entity that will wind up in the faces of anyone in the near vicinity.

4. Every seating struggle ever. Perching on a barstool leads to booty spillage. You take up more than your fair share when sharing a seat. Sitting on someone's lap never goes as planned.

5. You've flashed a little crack more times than you care to think about. Maybe you should just embrace this part of you and become a plumber.

6. People assume you've got mad moves to go with your booty. Yes, your butt has its own gravitational pull. But not everyone with a robust backside can twerk.

7. You still have an embarrassing spiritual connection Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back." What can you say? Back before you learned to embrace your curves, this anthem gave you hope.

8. Trying to work the cute baggy boyfriend jeans trend has two results: You either look homeless or huge—and neither is a good look.

9. Your butt eats underwear for breakfast. There's no delicate way to say it. If you forgo the thong, it's permanent wedgie city.


10. Similarly, running shorts are a distant fantasy. Unless you like your shorts riding up higher and higher with each stride. Yay, chafing.

11. Finding a cute bikini is impossible. If there isn't a mix-and-match option, forget it. You have to pick between your butt hanging out or super-frumpy granny bottoms.

12. Guys are always grabbing your butt. Not that you can complain, but c'mon, your girls need some love, too.

10 Cancer Symptoms Most People Ignore - Must Read

Before you discount that persistent cough as just another part of flu season, you might want to ask your doctor to give it a second glance. According to a new study by Cancer Research U.K., more than half of adults have experienced alarm bells that could mean cancer, yet just two percent of them believed cancer could be a possible cause.

Researchers sent questionnaires to nearly 5,000 U.K. residents registered with general practitioners—in other words, men and women who have and visit a primary care doctor. Just shy of 1,800 people completed the questionnaire, and five were eliminated because they indicated they'd already been diagnosed with cancer.

They asked participants if, in the last three months, they'd experienced a host of different symptoms (some of which could be possible signs of cancer), ranging from persistent coughing and unexplained weight loss to having low energy. If they had experienced any of these symptoms, they were asked to write in what they thought caused it and whether it was serious.

"We aren't sure why, but it seems there is a mismatch between what people know in practice and whether they apply the knowledge to themselves," says study co-authorKatriina Whitaker, Ph.D., senior research fellow at University College London. "So while awareness of many of these signs and symptoms is quite high, very few people mention cancer as a possible cause when it's them who is experiencing the symptom."
Here, we take a look at the 10 symptoms researchers consider to be red flags. While they could be nothing, the researchers say the point is to recognize that they could also be cancer—and to ask your doctor to check your symptoms out.

1. Persistent Cough or Hoarseness
While a cough here and there is nothing to worry about, a consistent cacophony or a cough accompanied by blood is definitely cause for concern. "Most coughs are not cancer," says Therese Bartholomew Bevers, M.D., professor of clinical cancer prevention and the medical director of the Cancer Prevention Center at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. "But certainly a persistent cough needs to be evaluated to see if it could be lung cancer." Your physician should recommend a chest X-ray or CT scan to rule out cancer as a possibility.

2. Persistent Change in Bowel Habits
When your bowel movements aren't as easy as they once were or your stool appears larger than normal or somewhat deformed, this could be a sign of colon cancer, says Bartholomew Bevers. "It could be a sign that there is a mass impeding the transit of the stool from the bowel," she says. "This is a symptom where a person should go to the doctor and schedule a colonoscopy to see if there indeed is a mass."

3. Persistent Change in Blader Habits
"If there is blood in the urine, that could be indicative of bladder or kidney cancer—but more commonly this is a sign of a urinary tract infection," says Bartholomew Bevers. Check for an infection first, then pursue other treatment options.

4. Persistent Unexplained Pain
"Most pain is not a sign of cancer, but persistent pain must be checked out," says Bartholomew Bevers. "If you have persistent headaches, for example, you likely don't have brain cancer—but it is still something that must be looked into. Persistent pain in the chest could be a sign of lung cancer. And pain in your abdomen could be ovarian cancer."

5. Change in the Appearance of a Mole
While not all moles are indicative of melanoma, spotting a new mark or one that has changed is something you should bring up with a dermatologist who can screen for skin cancer, says Bartholomew Bevers.

6. A Sore That Does Not Heal
If you have a sore that's hanging on past the three-week mark, you should bring it up with your doctor. "We would have expected our body to have healed itself by now," says Bartholomew Bevers, "and you should absolutely get that checked out." That kind of sore could be a sign of carcinoma.

7. Unexpected Bleeding
Vaginal bleeding—outside of your normal cycle—could be an early sign of cervical cancer, while bleeding from the rectum could indicate colon cancer, says Bartholomew Bevers.

8. Unexplained Weight Loss
"As adults, we try very hard to lose weight," says Bartholomew Bevers. "But if weight is falling off of you without any effort on your part, that is a big concern and can be indicative of a serious medical problem." One of those problems, she says, could be malignancy or a tumor.

9. An Unexplained Lump
"Any time you have a lump that is new or a lump that is changing, that is something you should absolutely have looked at by your doctor," says Bartholomew Bevers. While it could be a benign cyst (and likely is), it could also be "a cancer that is in the subterranean tissue. A lump in the breast, of course, is a very common symptom of breast cancer." See your physician to get more information.

10. Persistent Difficulty Swallowing
Two cancers may be behind this symptom, including neck and esophageal cancer. "People who see these symptoms will often start to modify their diets, eating softer foods without thinking there could be a more serious issue."

"The bottom line," says Whitaker, "is that if people are experiencing any persistent symptoms, they should go to their doctor for advice."

Stephanie Okereke's brother finally speaks on the UNILAG student's rape scandal

Daniel Okereke, the older brother of actress Stephanie Linus who was alleged to have raped a UNILAG student on Nov 6th (Read Here) finally speaks.

Find the statement below...
 

It took me a while to react to these baseless allegations about my good self because I had to investigate to know if it was truly me they were referring to or someone was impersonating me. I wouldn’t have responded but for the numerous innocent readers who may have been misled by this untrue publications which was never verified before going public. I thought that balanced reportage had to do with getting both sides of the story. What happened between me and my estranged friend was a case of a woman who claimed she was heartbroken because she discovered I am in a very serious relationship.

She flared up when she realized and started demanding that I must settle her since I was not taking her seriously not to talk of marrying her. She demanded for two million naira (N2m) and a Toyota Yaris car as settlement else she would scandalize my name and that I know I wouldn’t want that since according to her I come from a popular and wealthy background. I took it as one of those empty threats until I now read about this complete sham about my good self. 

How can someone say you were beaten up by seven (7) guards before canal knowledge of you prevailed? Someone who claimed she was sick? She must be a female wrestler in the WWE (The World Wrestling Entertainment) for such measures to be required before a strong tall guy like me will need to force her to have canal knowledge of her. Someone who claimed she was raped could also muscle out strength to destroy my properties in front of the so alleged seven guards? If I were a nobody would she be priding in saying I allegedly raped her? I know that the thought of possessing me is your dream but you didn’t need to go this shameless way.

Those that may have advised you to do this (if any) gave you the worst advice ever because you can’t have me through cheap blackmail. Let me make it crystal clear that there was never a case of rape nor assault. I have decided not to reveal more shocking details on this sad episode because her family initiated peace moves towards mine and I strongly believe in the biblical saying “to err is human but to forgive is divine”. In a country where people can use some sections of the media to publish unverified stories of even the highest offices in the land, then who am I to bother if such crude treatment is meted out to a rising star like me. Must we continue to destroy our very best because we have a very few media platforms that are willing tools to be used. This is sad and unkind. 

Why will they want to bring in a respected elder stateswoman Prof. Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, OON, into an issue where the alleged accused is an adult who should take full responsibility of his actions and in-actions. A woman who worked tirelessly day and night to develop the Nigerian Capital Market and by extension the Nigerian economy which in turn put food on the tables of millions of Nigerians and beyond. During her tenure as the DG of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, the Capital Market was bountiful and prospered as never before. She is an institution in this country and should please not be dragged into trivial issues like this. She should be respected as such.

Thank you all for doing so.

I appeal to those sections of the media that publish unverified stories to please verify before going public because they have the tools to make or mar peoples’ images. I hope that all the respected media sources that publicized this untrue story will be kind enough to do a retraction. God bless you as you do so. I thank all those that called me and sent text messages and said we know you did not do those things. I also thank those who do not know me that said negative things about me, and the reasons are obvious – they do not know me. My humble advice to them is not to thrive on hearsay but facts because it is me today; no one knows whose turn it might be tomorrow. Thank you for reading. God bless us all and Merry Christmas.

Signed,

PRINCE DANIEL OKEREKE.
