Celebrity Baboon Grabs TV Reporter’s Breast On Live TV

Micky The Baboon, who starred in 2012 hit movie Rock Of Ages, might have been the victim of a sexual assault lawsuit if he was human, after he grabbed a TV reporter’s breasts mid-show.

Sabrina Rodriguez, a reporter for Fox 40 in California, was shooting a live spot on the Lodi Grape Festival in San Joaquin County when the baboon made his move.

After shaking hands with Mickey, the telly presenter soon found herself in an awkward position when the naughty chap placed one paw on her shoulder and the other on her breast, where it remained throughout the broadcast.

Ms Rodriguez, 29, an Emmy award winning TV news reporter, continued with her piece, telling viewers “he’s trying to cop a little bit of a feel”, as the baboon bared its teeth at the camera.

Having kept her composure throughout she finished her segment with the sign off: “Join us soon when we’ll be learning a bit about why baboons like grapes.”

She was shooting a live trailer for her report on the festival – which featured a Wild about Monkeys show – aimed at showing the social side of the mammal.

Oprah Winfrey says she'll leave this earth as a 'never married' woman

Billionaire talk show legend and actress Oprah Winfrey 59, has been dating Stedman Graham, 62, since 1986. That's 27 years - longer than a lot of marriages. Oprah said in an interview recently that although she considered marriage after she attended Tina Turner's wedding in Switzerland in July, she's pretty sure she will leave the world as a woman who 'never got married'

When asked if she would leave earth as a “never-married” woman, Oprah made her feelings very clear. “Yes,” she told Access Hollywood. “Yeah, I think that’s my final answer.”

“I think that it’s interesting that you would ask it because I thought about it again at Tina Turner’s wedding. Because Tina was like, ‘Oprah, you need to do this. You need to do it.’ I was just thinking, ‘Well, OK, would things really be different?’ And no, I don’t think so. If you ever interviewed him (Stedman), he would tell you that had we married, we would not be together today, because he’s a traditional man and this is a very untraditional relationship.”

Oprah also explained that she couldn’t be a wife because the word holds responsibilities she doesn’t feel capable of handling.

Okada man flings himself in front of oncoming trailer over seizure of his bike

A desperate, angry Okada man tried to kill himself yesterday Thursday September 26th by throwing himself in front of a trailer and then, an SUV after his motorcycle was seized in Oyo State.

According to a report by Nigerian Tribune, the unidentified Okada man was stopped by officers of the Oyo State Commercial Vehicle Registration Unit and upon checking his papers, alleged they were fake, after which they seized his Okada.

According to eyewitnesses the man pleaded with the officers for a while but when his begging fell on deaf ears, he attempted suicide by flinging himself in front of two on coming vehicles.

Fortunately there were people around the area to rescue him both times. He later went into shock and started foaming from the mouth. Some policemen arrived the scene and took the man to the hospital.

Boko Haram linked to group behind Kenya mall attack • US report says Nigerian sect may have anti-aircraft missiles

A report by a committee of  the United States House of Representatives has linked the  fundamentalist Islamist sect, Boko Haram,  to al Shabaab, the terror group that carried out the September 21 Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya.

Al-Shabaab is a Somali-based group whose members are said to be highly proficient in suicide bombing.

The  report dated September 13, 2013 and  entitled,  ‘Boko Haram: Growing Threat to the US Homeland’, also acknowledged the growing relationship between the  Nigerian sect  and another terror group, the Al Qaeda in the land of the Islamic Maghreb.

The  39-page report noted that “while there is no evidence that Al Qaeda’s core in Afghanistan and Pakistan commands Boko Haram’s operations, it is clear from the words of multiple US  officials and  media reports  that Boko Haram is supportive of, and supported by  Al Qaeda networks such as AQIM.”

It noted that “it is the unity of ideology and mutual hatred for the West between the Al Qaeda networks that exposes the danger Boko Haram poses to the U.S Homeland.”

The committee described Boko Haram as a “hardened and sophisticated terror network” that required  multiple simultaenous local and international efforts to enhance the capacity and capability of the Nigerian Police and the military to curtail its activities.

It said there was an urgent need by the US to designate the sect as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation because it has shown  no signs of ending its aggression  against the government of Nigeria and the Western world.

Bomb scare at Nigeria House in New York

There was a bomb scare at the Nigeria Permanent Mission House in New York on Thursday.

Panic engulfed the atmosphere at the house located on Second Avenue, 44th Street when the bomb alarm was raised by security agencies.

People scamper for safety as the American Police cordoned-off the place to conduct a search which lasted for about 30 minutes.

A source said the alarm came after the police discovered a bag carelessly dropped close to the Kudirat Abiola corner of the house. The strange bag was suspected to be containing an explosive.

Although the content of the bag was not disclosed, normalcy, however, returned after the environs were cleared and the security agencies asked people to resume their daily business.

Over 8000 Women Protest Husband Scarcity In Zamfara

Over 8000 women were involved in a protest yesterday in Zamfara state, demanding that the government assist them in getting husbands.

Led by the Chairperson of the Zamfara Widows Association, Hajiya Suwaiba Isa, and the patron, Alhaji Sa’idu Goshe, the women said they were not living a normal life and needed husbands to become whole.

“Many of us cannot afford two meals in a day because there are no men to support us,” they said.

The patron said the association had over 8,000 women, comprising 5,380 divorcees, 2,200 widows, 1,200 orphans and 80 others, whom he said, were looking for men to marry.

He said the women also needed assistance to purchase household items such as beds, mattresses and other basic necessities needed to move to their husbands’ houses.

Goshe appealed to the commission to assist the association in screening suitors for the women.

He said the screening would determine the suitors’ health status, source of livelihood and ability to maintain a family.

Novak Djokovic Proposes To Girlfriend Jelena Ristic

Tennis world number 1 Novak Djokovic joined the league to people tying the knot (or getting ready to) this year as he proposed to his girlfriend on Wednesday.

The tennis heartthrob, 26, posted on Instagram yesterday a picture of him and new fiancee Jelena Ristic kissing alongside the caption, “We’re ENGAGED!!! Getting used to introducing Jelena as my fiancé and future wife. Couldn’t be happier.”

He followed up that post with one on Twitter thanking everyone for the “wonderful wishes.”

The cutest part of the engagement is that the couple first met in high school before he was the world’s top tennis pro and have been together ever since -  eight years in all.

And Ristic is always there for him through the ups and downs – even his big losses. Three months ago, Djokovic posted another photo of the two, this time playing at the beach, saying “After a disappointing French Open campaign, it’s nice to just clear my head and relax with family and friends. Jelena refuses to get thrown into the cold water quietly.”

Ristic is a former model and currently runs her new fiance’s Novak Djokovic Foundation, which aims to help children in Serbia.

Lamar Odom slams dad for blaming the Kardashians for his downfall

Lamar Odom's father Joe granted an interview to Radar Online ON TUESDAY blaming his son’s fall from grace on the Kardashian family. Joe claims marrying Khloe was the worst mistake Lamar ever made.

Joe said: “Someone’s got to speak out, I’ve got to do something about this. It’s simple. They brought him down. He would be better off without them. Let him go and get his life together. I think the best thing for him would be to have a clean break, divorce Khloe and as a single man try and get his life back together. The mother has been talking a lot of trash about my son, saying he’s on drugs and stuff like that. She’s got something against my son, something against my family. Kris Jenner is very negative. She’s an evil b*tch. She doesn’t care about Lamar, she just cares about their image and money.”

  “I blame Kris in particular, she’s been through a lot of stuff herself. She’s no Cinderella. I can’t really say if the Kardashians are doing drugs, but my son would never use hard drugs. I can’t pinpoint right now who’s giving it him, but I’m going to investigate. The Kardashians haven’t been a good influence on my son. They don’t give a f*ck about my son. It’s more about the damage they do to the Kardashian brand. They brought him down. He’d be better off without them. Let him go, get his life together.”

Lamar apparently didn't like his 'absent' father's comments and slammed him on twitter, calling the Kardashians his only true family. See his tweet after the cut...
