Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha Welcome Baby Girl!

Kerry Washington is a mom!

 Kerry Washington and her husband Nnamdi Asomugha welcomed a baby girl into the world on April 21, TMZ reports. Her name: Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha. Washington reportedly gave birth in Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.


The first-time parents began dating in the summer of 2012, and tied the knot in a very intimate ceremony in Hailey, Idaho back in June 2013.


People magazine was first to report that the "Scandal" star was pregnant in October 2013. "Kerry and Nnamdi are ecstatic," a source told People, but added that "Kerry will still absolutely be keeping her private life private."
And in fact, Washington hadn't spoken about her pregnancy much. She embraced her blossoming belly on the red carpet in a variety of stunning dresses (and even a crop top!), but remained mum about the baby's gender and her feeling about impending parenthood.

 
Congratulations, Kerry and Nnamdi!

Happy 39th birthday, David Beckham! ...and the things we love about him...

 


Born in Leytonstone, London in 1975, David Beckham has always stated how the only career he ever wanted was to play football.

His parents were huge Manchester United fans and at the age of 16 signed a youth training scheme contract with the club.

David was a member of the ‘Class of ‘92’ who guided the youth team to an FA Youth Cup win, and who would all later go on to all play for the club’s first team and lead them to a unique treble-winning season in 1998-1999.

In 1996 David made his first appearance on the England national squad, and in 2000 he was named England captain, where played the game in that role for six years.

After Manchester United, David played for Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy, before retiring from football in 2013 as one of the world’s most successful football players ever.

He has remained part of the sport and the sporting world in general however, and played a crucial role in helping to secure London as the venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Married to fashion designer Victoria Beckham, David has four children and also has a successful career as an underwear model  - Tommy Hilfiger named him the "underwear model of the century" – and has been a UNICEF ambassador since 2005.

He's modest

Talking about stripping off for raunchy advertising campaigns, Becks said: “It’s definitely got easier over the years,” he admits. “But when I was in New York, seeing a huge poster on the side of a building was quite daunting.

"I remember driving past there and stopping and running out and taking a picture and this guy walked past me and he was like, ‘Oh, my God! Have you seen your d*** up there?’

“Or something disgusting like that. That was funny.”

He managed to bounce back after getting a public grilling for being sent off for kicking out at Argentina's Diego Simeone
"I knew that I had made a mistake and deserved to be sent off, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened," he said.

"It wasn't just the press, but the reaction of ordinary people. There was am atmosphere whenever I walked into a restaurant or bar. When a guy broke into my back garden late at night to try to intimidate me, it was almost the last straw."

You can rely on him to give you a helping hand

He always makes an effort with Victoria

“You have to find time to spend with each other,” he said.

“As much as we work hard and we love to spend time with our kids and that’s our main priority, we make sure we go out for dinner once a week.”

He ALWAYS look good these days

He's got an eye for the best bling (not those earrings, though)

He doesn't care if his children don't think he's cool
The proud dad told The Sunday Times magazine he'll drop his kids off right at the school gates, but confesses Brooklyn doesn't always let him.

"The only one we don't walk to the door is Brooklyn. Sometimes, he makes me drop him on the other side of the road. It's not cool to be dropped off by your dad."

He ALWAYS look good (these days)

He's just a normal guy (ish)

What does he love now he's back home in England? "The simple things like going round to my Grandma’s, going round to my Mum and Dad’s house, seeing my sisters - the normal things that I haven’t been able to do since I moved away from London when I was 15 years old.

"It’s been quite a while so it’s the simple things like popping round for a cup of tea."

He knows how to pull a good pose

He doesn't need to surround himself with superficial friends

He said: "It’s all you need. I’d rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends."

PHOTOS: Syrian rebels crucified by Islamic extremists (viewers discretion is advised)

The Islamic State in Iraq and the ash-Sham (ISIS), are an Islamic group which was rejected by al Qaeda in early 2014 for being a “liability to the al-Qaeda brand” and too extremist .

The hard-line group said it had executed a total of seven prisoners who it claimed had carried out a grenade attack on one of its fighters earlier this month including the two men crucified on a roundabout.

Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights posted pictures of the two prisoners being crucified at the roundabout.
The dead man body hangs limply from a makeshift crucifix; the black stripe of a blindfold covers his eyes.

Another photo of a different man’s crucifixion shows a similar scene. In that image too, a young boy stands only feet from a lifeless corpse bound to a cross and publicly displayed.
One of the men is pictured with a banner wrapped round his body which reads: "This man fought against Muslims and threw  a grenade in this place."

Peaches Geldof died of heroin overdose

She reportedly died of a heroin overdose


Peaches Geldof died of a heroin overdose just like her tragic mum Paula Yates, it was reported on Wednesday night.

The claims came as an inquest into the tragic death of the mother-of-two death was due to open on Thursday afternoon.

The model and TV presenter was found dead while caring for her 11-month-old son Phaedra on her own at the family home on April 7.

Her death was described by police as ‘non-suspicious’ and ‘unexplained’ at the time and a post-mortem examination two days later proved inconclusive.

Police investigating the model’s death found no evidence of drugs paraphernalia in the £1million house in Wrotham, Kent.

Officers used sniffer dogs during the search and examined rubbish bags.

However, The Times reported on Wednesday that items may have been removed before the property was searched.

A spokesman for the Geldof family said they were not commenting at this stage.

It is not known who may have supplied the young mum with drugs.

Hours before she died Peaches posted a photo online of herself with mum Paula Yates, who died of an accidental heroin overdose aged 41 when Peaches was just 11.

Peaches, 25, admitted to experimenting with drugs in the past and was often labelled as a ‘wild child’.

There were reports that she had to be revived after collapsing from an overdose in 2008 at her home in north London.

There was speculation she might have accidentally overdosed because her body was not as tolerant to the quantities of heroin she had previously taken.

Later Peaches transformed from socialite to doting mum after marrying her second husband, 23-year-old musician Tom Cohen, in 2012.

With her beloved hubby and children

Thursday's brief inquest hearing, expected to last just 10 minutes, will be held in Gravesend, Kent.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham is due to read a statement about Ms Geldof’s death before coroner Roger Hatch officially reveals her cause of death.

Mr Hatch waited for results of the toxicology tests to determine if Peaches had died of an overdose before deciding to open an inquest.

A full inquest is now due to be held in late July.

Peaches’ funeral was held at the same church as her mother’s with stars including Kate Moss, Jools Holland and Bill Wyman among the mourners.

Magic Johnson Talks About His HIV Status.....and explains how he has not been cured of the virus via some magic juju

Tongues have been wagging about former NBA superstar Earvin “Magic” Johnson (pictured) and how he has managed to look so healthy and have so much vigour despite being diagnosed with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Now the mega-entrepreneur has finally decided to put an end to the whispers surrounding his health. On Tuesday, Johnson appeared on Sirius XM’s HipHopNation to explain how he has not been cured of the virus via some magic juju, according to TMZ.


Johnson, who was a point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers at the time of his diagnosis, made explosive headlines around the world back in 1991, when he revealed he had contracted the AIDS virus. As one of the most-beloved sports figures in the world, folks were reeling over Johnson’s revelation: the news forever changed the league, the franchise, a man and the world. Many wondered how the virus could have crept in to the heterosexual realm, which at the time, was still considered a gay affliction?

As the years progressed, Johnson retired from his beloved sport, made stupefying inroads in the business sector, and became an AIDS activist. Soon, folks began wondering how Johnson wasn’t losing weight and why didn’t he look sickly. Johnson always looked healthy as a horse and there was never a news report revealing that he’d been hospitalized with an HIV-related illness.

On Sirius XM, Johnson explained the details of his health, saying that he is not healthy because of his wealth nor because he consumed a specially concocted drug that cured his disease, as many have surmised. In fact, the Hall of Famer explained that he takes the same 30-something drugs that other folks battling the virus take as well as a cocktail of three of them every day after dinner.

The 6’9″ L.A. Dodgers owner wanted to make clear that he still has the virus but it is in a dormant state, telling the radio show host Renada Romain, “I do have it and have had it for 22 years. It’s just laying asleep in my body.”

The purpose of Johnson doing the interview was to let folks know that the virus does not affect everyone in the same way and that he is just one of the lucky few to have survived as long as he has with it, “The virus acts different in everybody … so just because I’m doing well, you might NOT do well,” he told Romain. Johnson also wanted to point out that he has not sought any magic cures from Kenyan witch doctors or Mexican healers, which is yet another myth that surrounds him.
