Dollar Falls: Drops To N185

Bureau De Change operators in the country have attributed the fall in the dollar to release of the foreign currency by hoarders who had stored it pending the outcome of the nation’s general elections.

A dollar over the weekend sold for N185 against the usual N220-N240 which it sold for in the last few weeks. Some of them however said the Dollar crash could also be attributed to the fact that politicians have stopped campaigning for elections, which has made the demand for the currency drop.

Look Who is Covering Glamour This Month!

Kerry Washington, Sarah Jessica Parker and Michelle Obama are really feeling very Glamour-ous this month.

Literally!
The Scandal star, former Sex and the City actress and residing First Lady represent “Power Women,” according to the publication, as they opened up to Glamour about various aspects of life in the military.
 
Washington, for example, spoke out on how diminishing the stigma of mental health, telling the magazine:

"My brain and my heart are really important to me. I don’t know why I wouldn’t seek help to have those things be as healthy as my teeth. I go to the dentist. So why wouldn’t I go to a shrink?"

Parker then discussed the issues female veterans face:
"I feel like there’s a laundry list... Being a working mother, serving, returning from Iraq or Afghanistan - I almost don’t know where to begin…. And I feel intimidated by their service; I feel ashamed that I haven’t served."

And then Obama, who helped explain The Evolution of Mom Dancing on The Tonight Show last week, said she could never actually compare her lives to the lives of wives with husbands overseas.

However...
"I [try to] put myself in the place of some of these young women - maybe they’re in their twenties, they have their third kid, they’re not established in their careers, they’re miles away from their family - and imagine the stresses.

"So my advice is, ask for help. Keep asking. Because that’s the only way I survived. My women friends - how we get through is we reach out."

Kim Kardashian to Use Kourtney Kardashian as Surrogate?

If you watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians season 10 episode 4, then you know that Kim's struggles to conceive were (once again) a major topic of discussion.

This time, we learned that a complication during Kim's first pregnancy might prevent her from being able to carry another child.

It was sad news, but Kim always finds a way to get what she wants, and Kris Jenner is usually right alongside her, helping to hatch a plan.

In this case, that means finding a surrogate. And not just any surrogate, mind you, but one who isn't just a fame-hungry "lunatic" that will run off with the kid.

Fortunately, the Kardashians don't have to look very far to find a reliable uterus, and it took Kris about 30 seconds of contemplation before she volunteered Kourtney for the job.
 Technically, all Kris said was, "I bet Kourtney would do it," but since Kim and Kris basically run things in Kardashian Land, it's a pretty safe bet that Kourtney will announce that she's carrying Kim's baby some time in the near future (possibly in the KUWTK season finale).

There have been rumors that Kanye has a crush on Kourtney, so we're hoping that Yeezy will suggest that he and Kim saving some money by knocking up Kourt the old fashioned way.

It would be a tough sell, but all he would have to do is mention how lucrative the tape would be and Kim's eyes would turn into dollar signs.

Kanye West Bible: Actually a Thing You Can Purchase!

Because the ego on Kanye West is clearly way too small at the moment...

An Etsy user is actually selling a bible for $20 in which every mention of God’s name has been replaced with Kanye or Yeezus because… well, actually. We have no idea why anyone would do this.
According to the website, the handmade hardcover book is "a novelty coffee-table book, celebrating the grandeur of mega-icon Kanye West. This is the Bible for the New Age."
 
The online description adds that "three entrepreneurial brothers" are responsible for honoring Mr. Kim Kardashian in this fashion because they possess "a special interest in mass-society and its effects on our worldview and imagination."

We really wish we were making this all up.
"What if the Bible, the most singularly significant publication in the ancient canon of Western tradition, were updated to reflect our modern society? What would it look like?" the users explain.

We can only imagine what Kanye say about this.

Concludes the outline on Etsy:
At it's simplest, it is the book of Genesis, modified to feature ‘Kanye' or ‘Yeezus' in the place of God or Y---A. 'In the beginning Kanye created the heaven and the earth...And Kanye said, Let there be light: and there was light.

In a sense, Kanye's awesome and orchestrated spectacle is truly a religious experience. In a foreword, we explore our consumerist, quick-fix, and information-culture, and celebrate Kanye and the outsized significance he plays in our lives. 

All of this, bound in a black, hard-cover gold-leaf imprinted book.
