How tight is this flat?

How ridiculously small is this flat? Thinking of it, it is not that bad for short term accommodation. The rent is only £130 pw / £563 pcm.

The world will never stop until all the kidnapped girls are reunited with their loved ones!!!

Our thoughts are with the young girls kidnapped in Northern Nigeria. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through right now. No one has the right to take anyone's child and destroy it. Let us pray they are found soon. No more delays!! Time is ticking away and of great importance here!! #Bring back our girls!!!

Jada Pinkett-Smith: “You’re Acting Like Pedophiles” on Criticism about Willow’s Controversial Photos

You all remember the storm over a photo of Willow Smith and a 20 year old friend? Well, her mum has come to her defence!

TMZ caught the actress on her way to an event. She comments “Here’s the deal: There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it, and you’re acting like covert paedophiles, and that’s not cool.”

Katie Price heartbroken after confession by her husband of seven month on having sexual affair with her 'best friend of 20 years

Every so often, one reads about the betrayals of supposedly 'best friends'. I read how pregnant Katie Price today learned her husband of just a year, Kieran Hayler, was 'cheating on her with her best friend of 20 years'.

Miss Price posted the following statement on her website:

'I appreciate most people will have seen my tweets on the subject of my marriage to Kieran.

'I make no apologies for them though it will be appreciated that, sending them immediately after Kieran confirmed to me what he had been doing for the last 7 months, those tweets were a sign of my heart breaking. That he was doing it with a close friend of nearly 20 years is hard to understand.

'This statement however is from my head, not my heart. I am appalled that someone I loved, trusted and believed in has behaved in this way.

'If he had so little respect for our relationship I would have hoped he would have thought about our child or the one that we have on the way. That he did not means he will no longer be part of my life. I will do all I can to ensure he maintains a relationship with his children should he want that.

'I am so grateful for the love of my children and family at this time.'

I can't begin to understand the hurt Katie Price must be feeling now. How can a 'best friend' of 20 years even begin to contemplate having an affair with her 'supposedly best friends' man? I am sure there are so many questions running through Katie's mind now. How does a trusted and loved 'friend' be the one to cause so much pain and hurt?

US woman posts video of her abortion as it happened on YouTube

Emily Letts

Emily Letts, 25, has filmed herself having a surgical abortion and posted the video on YouTube, saying she wants it to help banish stigma surrounding the procedure. She explains in an article for Cosmopolitan.com that she hadn't been using any birth control and 'wound up pregnant' by mistake last November. 

In her three-minute YouTube video she is seen being wheeled into the operating theater before being filmed from the waist up as doctors remove the embryo from her womb. She remains awake throughout, numbed only by local anesthetic.

Because she was only in the first trimester of pregnancy, Miss Letts says that she could have swallowed an abortion pill instead of going in for surgery. However, she 'wanted to do the one that women were most afraid of.'

She reflects: 'I wanted to show it wasn’t scary - and that there is such a thing as a positive abortion story. It’s 'I don’t feel like a bad person. I don’t feel sad,' she explains, pointing out that many of the patients at her clinic assume that everyone feels guilty after having an abortion. 

More Nigerian girls abducted by suspected Boko Haram militants

Boko Haram leader

According to BBBC news, suspected Boko Haram militants have kidnapped eight more girls in northeastern Nigeria.

The latest kidnapping happened on Sunday night in the village of Warabe, in Borno state. The girls taken were between the ages of 12 and 15.

On Monday, Boko Haram's leader threatened to "sell" more than 230 girls seized from their school, also in Borno, on 14 April.

Thinking and praying for the abducted girls in Nigeria!

Boko Haram 'to sell' abducted girls

This is just shocking! 

Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram has threatened to "sell" the hundreds of schoolgirls it abducted three weeks ago.

Militant leader Abubakar Shekau sent a video obtained by the AFP news agency, in which he said for the first time that his group had taken the girls. In the video, Abubakar Shekau said the girls should not have been in school in the first place, but rather should get married.

"God instructed me to sell them, they are his properties and I will carry out his instructions," he said.

About 230 girls are still believed to be missing, prompting widespread criticism of the Nigerian government.

The girls were taken from their boarding school in Chibok, in the northern state of Borno, on the night of 14 April.

Jeremy Clarkson 'begs forgiveness' over N-word footage

Jeremy Clarkson

Do you think this news was blown out of proportion?  Should the press have hounded him as much as they did? Well, Jeremy Clarkson has finally given in and begged viewers' for forgiveness after he appeared to use the N-word during filming of his BBC programme Top Gear.

In a video statement posted online on Thursday, he said that he had tried to obscure the word when reciting the "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" nursery rhyme to chose between two cars, but that his efforts to do so "weren't quite good enough".

If you remember, Clarkson had previously denied that he used the 'N' word.  He told his 3.2 million Twitter followers: "I did not use the N-word. Never use it. The Mirror has gone way too far this time."

But footage of the incident was later posted on The Daily Mirror website. In it Clarkson recites the beginning of the children's nursery rhyme "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" before apparently mumbling: "Catch a nigger by his toe."

His apology came after a day of growing calls for the BBC to sack him. The corporation issued a strongly worded statement saying: "Jeremy Clarkson has set out the background to this regrettable episode. We have made it absolutely clear to him, the standards the BBC expects on air and off. We have left him in no doubt about how seriously we view this.".

Does intent count when we judge people as racist? Was there intent to hurt when he recited that rhyme? What of black people that use the ‘N’ word? Why should it be OK for those black people to use the ‘N’ word?  I find that even more offensive.

Witnesses said the explosion targeted a police checkpoint near a bus station.

No group has claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram said it was behind the fatal explosion last month.

Banana-eating anti-racism campaign gaining momentum

Interesting to see anti-racism campaign which followed Alves picking banana thrown at him up and eating it. It has gone viral all over the world.

A banana was thrown at Brazilian international Alves. He responded by peeling and eating the banana during the match at Villarreal on Sunday.

His actions were backed by footballers and celebrities across the world as support flooded in from fellow professionals posting pictures of themselves with bananas on to the internet.

Spanish police have arrested a man for allegedly throwing a banana at Barcelona defender Dani Alves during a football match at the weekend.

Having children is main reason to commit adultery for 82 per cent of male cheaters

A survey of more than 5,000 cheating men reveals that 78 per cent of the respondents are in their first marriage, and that 82 per cent of them began to be unfaithful after having children.

Here are some of the common reasons men gave for their infidelity:
1. Sex with their partner stopped being passionate after the baby came.
 2. Excuse that the lack of sleep commonly experienced by parents of young children had led to problems in the bedroom which had caused them to stray.

3. Spouse turned all of their attention to the children and this lack of attention led to their infidelity. 

4. Economic problems

5. Family issues
