According to her official modeling profile, Karrueche is 5’1″ and 100 pounds, and she doesn’t do nudes. She once tweeted that she and Chris went on a trip to Disneyland but she wasn’t able to get on some of the rides because of the height restrictions.

Mark Zuckerberg Unveils Facebook Music Details

As expected, Facebook has added a new feature that allows certain music services to integrate into the service so that as users of those services listen to music, that activity is automatically noted on their respective news feeds. The full list of services supported have not yet been fully revealed, but Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek significantly took the stage to showcase the new feature's functionality.

Facebook will list every song listened to, radio stations streamed and albums heard once giving it permission to do so. Something Zuckerberg called "real-time serendipity." It saves users from having to actively "like" any particular artist, song or album. It happens automatically. "You're going to discover all the things your friends are doing around you, right now," he said.

Users can control what they share, and who will see it. What's more, friends can then stream the same music from their friends' profiles in real time. During the demo, only Spotify was showcased. And while it wasn't made clear, it appeared that other users would need to have Spotify installed as well to stream music from their friends' feeds. There was no mention made of being able to stream the same songs from other music services, the notion of "content resolution" that has been rumored to be a key feature of what Facebook is offering.

Perhaps we'll learn more about that as the day progresses. But he did say that it will show you not only what you're listening to, but what service you're using to listen.

Another feature of the music service is the ability to see reports of overall activity. Rather than listing every song each user has ever listened to, Facebook is creating a report that lists top songs, top album and top artists.

The intent is clear-Facebook wants to revolutionize the music industry.


"It's amazing how much music you can discover through your friends," Zuckerberg said. "I'm really excited about what this next wave of music companies is doing with Open Graph. They're not trying to block… they're trying to get you to listen more and discover through your friends."

Spotify was the featured service, but with an API open to all, virtually any service can integrate into Facebook in the same way. Each individually decides what to make available in users' Timelines, and adds an "add to timeline" button to their service. So far, those announcing their involvement include Rhapsody, Jelli, iHeartRadio, MOG, Rdio, Songza, Soundcloud, MixCloud, Deezer, and likely many others. Ticketing companies include Ticketmaster, Ticketfly, Eventbrite, and ScoreBig.

Spotify quickly updated its website with a blog post highlighting the integration, and a promo video that makes it pretty clear that Spotify is using this Facebook as it's U.S. coming out party to the broader public and not just the digital music press.

Justin's Big Surprise For Selena

Justin Bieber will almost certainly get lucky tonight ... because TMZ has learned he just surprised girlfriend Selena Gomez with the most romantic surprise ever.

He's corralled the entire Staples Center in L.A. for a screening of the movie "Titanic" ... just for the two of them.

Sources connected to the Biebs tell us .. Justin hatched the idea after seeing the movie "Mr. Deeds" -- where Adam Sandler surprises Winona Ryder with a date at Madison Square Garden.

Here's how it went down tonight ... Justin took Selena to the Demi Lovato concert at neighboring Nokia Theater. He then said, "Come with me" -- and took her underground to Staples Center to watch the biggest shipwreck of all time.

And if you don't hate him enough already -- Justin didn't have to pay a penny for Staples. We're told since he sold out the venue three times, and it was empty tonight ... they gave him the entire arena for free.

Dirty Dancing: Jennifer Lopez Parties In Vegas After iHeartRadio Music Festival (PHOTO)

Jennifer Lopez may have performed at the iHeartRadio Music Festival Saturday night, but she didn't end her night of dancing on the stage.
The singer hit up Las Vegas' Pure nightclub after her performance, and she and her friends reportedly kept the party going until 3:30 a.m. One of her backup dancers decided to heat things up even more, and stripped off his shirt to give the singer a lap dance in the VIP area -- which Lopez reportedly loved.
It was also an "American Idol" reunion of sorts earlier in the day, considering Lopez's fellow judges Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson were also at the music fest. "AI" host Ryan Seacrest was also on hand for the iHeartRadio festival weekend, which he helped put together with Clear Channel Radio.
But Lopez has a lot on her plate before she jumps back into her "Idol" duties. She recently released a new music video for her single, "Papi," and -- as if promoting her music career isn't hectic enough -- she's dealing with the fallout from her July split from husband Marc Anthony.

Beyonce On Pregnancy: 'I'm Probably The Happiest I've Ever Been'

It's no secret that Beyonce is glowing these days. She's expecting her first child with her husband, Jay-Z, and the singer is just over the moon about it.
"I'm very excited!" Beyonce told E! News while promoting her hew fragrance, Pulse. "I'm probably the happiest I've ever been."
"It is the most incredible gift anyone can have and I'm so happy I'm a woman," she added. "Men, I feel bad, they don't get to experience this. It's incredible."
Beyonce surprised everyone at the MTV VMAs last month when she showed up in front of photographers with a noticeable baby bump -- and showed it off again on stage during her performance.
And these days, this happy mom-to-be is just enjoying being pregnant and is looking forward to meeting her baby.
"It is the most powerful creation for you to be able to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift, nothing more empowering," Beyonce said during an interview with the Associated Press.
Ever since announcing her pregnancy, Beyonce hasn't been shy about hiding her growing belly either. She's been spotted in bikinis and at events with her baby bump on full display.
"It was really difficult to conceal. But now ... I can be proud and excited about it, I'm having so much fun shopping -- it's great!" Beyonce told CNN UK.

Hired hit man fell in love with his victim... then faked her death with tomato ketchup

  • Rumbled when housewife who hired him for hit spotted them kissing 
A hired killer faked the death of his intended victim after falling in love with his target.
Hitman Carlos Roberto de Jesus, from Brazil, was paid £345 to murder Iranildes Aguiar Araujo.
He was contracted by housewife Maria Nilza Simoes, who was convinced Iranildes was having an affair with her husband.
But when he showed up to carry out the hit, he couldn't bring himself to do it - and confessed the plot.
He then used some tomato ketchup to try and get them both off the hook.



Will Diddy And Jay-Z Be First Hip-Hop Billionaires? Not So, Says Birdman

In the high stakes battle for Hip Hop superiority, it appears that the two top money earners in the rap game – Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Sean "Diddy" Combs respectively – are in a quiet duel to become the first billionaires by way of their shared industry.
With various streams of revenue flowing for both savvy businessmen, some unrelated to music, the potential is vast for both men according to a recent analysis from Forbes magazine. However, another Hip Hop mogul believes he and his team will eclipse Jay-Z and Diddy in the money race all in due time.
CEO of Cash Money Records Brian “Birdman” Williams threw his and protĂ©gĂ© Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint names into the billionaire sweepstakes pot, defiantly stating that the YMCMB machine is well on its way to the top. “I think Young Money Cash Money would be the first billion-dollar brand in hip-hop,” said Birdman plainly in an email to Forbes referencing his label ventures. “We strong and growing every day as a brand and fast. Within the next few years we will be billionaires.”
According to Forbes numbers, Diddy is at the halfway mark with an estimated net worth of $500 million, much of that tied up in Diddy’s business ventures such as his Sean John and Enyce clothing lines along with his stake in Ciroc vodka. Jay-Z is right behind his rich pal with assets that include a lucrative $10 million dollar Live Nation deal, the 40/40 club chain, cosmetic company Carol’s Daughter and his partial ownership of the New Jersey (soon to be Brooklyn) Nets amongst other deals. Continuing the dollar tally, only Dr. Dre and 50 Cent are within range for the coveted billionaire status.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Interview: Actor Talks 'Strike Back,' Playing Bad & 'The Killer Elite'

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje may just be the most badass actor in Hollywood. To "Oz" fans, he's gang leader Simon Adebisi. To "Lost" fans, he's former war lord turned man of god, Mr. Eko. And if you sat through rapper 50 Cent's acting debut, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," he's the twisted drug lord Majestic.
In his latest television stint on Cinemax's explosive new show "Strike Back," Akinnuoye-Agbaje plays a brutal militia leader named Tahir, who holds an innocent aid worker hostage in the Sudan. Tahir shows little mercy to those who disobey his leadership. For as uncompromising and brutal as Tahir seems, Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who also learned Arabic for the project, was drawn to the project because of the character's many dimensions.
"It's such a rich character," Akinnuoye-Agbaje told The Huffington Post. "This character has many layers. He's a man of absolutely uncompromising principles, and what was intriguing to me was what would drive a person to such extremes? I was interested in exploring what his motivation was, and why he was committing such seemingly heinous crimes. And then finding out that there was a real, substantive purpose behind it was really intriguing to me. Nobody is good or bad. Everybody has shades of both, and he is a character who's got both, and he's just extreme in both. He's fighting for a cause. He seems to be an old vestige of a warrior."
Judging from his credits, Akinnuoye-Agbaje walks the line between good and evil quite often, giving seemingly twisted characters emotional depth and understanding.
"Multifaceted and textured characters are always more intriguing to me," said the actor. "You never really just want to play one note. It becomes a bit monotone and boring. I think the most appealing characters for the audience are the ones that you never know whether to root for them or whether to hate them. That's what keeps people drawn to their television sets. As with Eko, as with Majestic, as with Adebisi, these are characters that you want to hate, but there's a part of them that you secretly want to root for, and that part is called humanity."

Amber Rose is angry! Pours her heart out on her blog

Last week, Amber Rose visited an Islamic school in Ghana to speak to the girls in the school about life choices. She received a lot of criticism after the trip. People were basically saying she wasn't a good role model and had nothing to teach young people.  

Amber Rose went on her blog to pour her heart out about all the bad press and criticisms she's been getting for years...and many other things...
From Amber's Blog
“U do something positive in this industry u get scrutinized I really came to the conclusion that it’s not even about me it’s the fact that I’m a woman. Men in the entertainment industry are praised constantly for their “wrong doings”. if ur a drug dealer and u took care of ur family before ur fame everyone understands. If u get shot in the mist of u hustling ur cool as fuck. If a man’s naked pics hit the internet ppl think it’s cute or funny then just talk about how big he is. A Man can date 20 models at the same time and he is respected by the world and if a girl does it she’s a disgusting whore and a “Star Fucker” Women get destroyed by the media and our peers constantly but I am writing this to specifically speak about myslf.”
“Regardless of the fact I dated Kanye for 2 years or the fact I was a stripper at 15 years old or that my most private pics were stolen from me and a new batch hit the internet every week, I am a human being. I’m a daughter, a best friend, a great wife and an all around good person.

World's Cheapest Car Covered In Gold


When it comes to questionable marketing moves, this one may rank up there with Marie Antoinette’s infamous suggestion that her bread-less citizens should simply eat cake.

In an effort to spur flagging sales of its Nano micro-car, Indian automaker Tata has decided to take a jewel-encrusted version of the $3,000 two-door People’s Car worth $4.6 million yes, buy just one for the price of 1,533 Nanos and trot it around a country where a third of the world’s poor live on about 50 cents a day. By way of explanation, Tata chairman Bhaskar Bhatt said, “It’s only meant to travel around to showcase the Indian karigar’s (craftsmen’s) expertise.”





This particular Nano, commonly referred to as the world’s cheapest car, certainly does that. Artisans associated with the company’s chain of GoldPlus jewelry stores lavished the automobile with 194 pounds of hard-crafted 22-karat gold, 33 pounds of silver and 10,000 precious and semi-precious stones. The end result is a blinding chariot out of modern Bollywood, an automotive paean to some of India’s most iconic designs, colors and inherent beauty.

Brad Pitt Says His Daughter Zahara Would Be Dead If She Hadn't Been Adopted

With his new movie "Moneyball" soon in theaters, Brad Pitt has been opening up to the press about what they want to know about most: his family.
He already had to clarify the comments that he made in an interview with Parade magazine, explaining that he did not call his marriage to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston dull, but in that same interview, Pitt also opened up to Parade about his multiple adoptions with Angelina Jolie.
Hollybaby reports that Pitt told the magazine the conditions Zahara was living in when Jolie adopted her from Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa in 2005, was the only way to save her from certain death.
The magazine asked Pitt why he and Jolie haven't chosen to adopt any American children who need a home.
Pitt told Parade, "I can't place the importance of one child over that of any other. I have seen children suffer far beyond what we experience in America -- like out oldest daughter [Zahara]." If she had not been adopted, Pitt said, "I know she would not be alive. I know what care was available to her and it was nil. I cannot imagine life without her."

Dating Up: Celebs Who Used Relationships To Up Their Fame

It's no secret that a mattress can be a springboard to fame and fortune in Hollywood. Sleeping with, dating or -- better yet --marrying the right person can move someone from the D-list to the A-list.
Last night we watched George Clooney castaway Elisabetta Canalis strut her stuff on "Dancing With the Stars," which is the official proving ground for upwardly mobile C- and D-listers. Canalis' two years spent lounging around Clooney's Lake Como manse surely landed her that spot among the likes of Kristin Cavallari, David Arquette and Ricki Lake.
Dating Clooney can move a lady from nada to celeb status pretty quickly, but it's unlikely Canalis will ever reach A-list or even B-list status. Just like in the business world, the return on the relationship investment is determined by the capital invested -- the capital in this situation being a function of time and emotional and physical toll. Canalis' two years was just enough to get her a spot on "DWTS."
Here are a few other social strivers who used something other than their wits (but maybe something that rhymes with "wits") to get ahead in LaLa land.

Beyonce Is Having 'Fun' With Pregnancy

After her unexpected announcement at this year’s annual MTV Video Music Awards that she was pregnant, international pop star Beyonce Knowles has been relatively quiet about the details of her impending child with husband Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter -- until now.

"I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that it has been announced," she revealed. Adding that "It was really difficult to conceal. But now ... I can be proud and excited about it, I'm having so much fun shopping -- it's great!"

Nas Birthday Celebration With Jay-Z, Ne-YO, AZ And Carmelo Anthony

Queens rapper Nas decided to celebrate his birthday in style after all with a few close friends last night in New York City. The prolific MC turned 38th years old yesterday and fellow rapper Jay-Z, AZ, DJ Khaled, Ne-YO, model Tyson Beckford and New York Knicks star guard Carmelo Anthony were all on hand to wish the birthday boy well wishes.
"The illest thing about that is, I got a birthday coming up and I was thinking do I want to go out and celebrate or do I want to just chill at home" Nas revealed to Huffington Post writer Brennan Williams. "And if I celebrate, what kind of celebration? Party, dinner, what are we doing? So I was kind of thinking about if I did go out on my birthday how to do that."

T.I. Returns To Halfway House

Tip set to be released from the facility on September 29, lawyer confirms to MTV News.

 

T.I. is halfway home. After being sent back to a federal lockup on August 31 — just as he was making his way via luxury tour bus to a post-jail facility — T.I. has now been cleared to finish the remainder of his 11-month sentence in an Atlanta halfway house as originally intended.
On Thursday (September 15), the rapper's lawyer, Steve Sadow, told MTV News that Tip is currently in the halfway house, where he will remain until September 29. If all goes according to plan, the ATL rapper will have completed his current prison bid for a probation violation that stems from a September 2010 arrest for drug possession.
"[T.I.] went through a disciplinary hearing held before the 'Center Disciplinary Committee' (composed of Community Corrections-halfway house-staff) who recommended that he be returned to the halfway house," Sadow confirmed in an emailed statement.
"We have good reason to believe that this favorable result was reached because of the pro-active and assertive approach taken to protect T.I.'s rights by providing [Federal Bureau of Prisons] officials and the media with reliable and accurate information that T.I. did not intend to violate his transfer furlough or any other [Federal Bureau Prisons] rules en route from the prison facility in Arkansas to the halfway house in Atlanta," Sadow told TMZ. "T.I. will be released from the custody of the [Federal Bureau Prisons] on September 29th, and then will be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for a period of one year."
Last month, the B.O.P. allowed Tip to provide his own transportation from the Arkansas prison where he was being held to the aforementioned Atlanta halfway house. The Trap Muzik MC's decision to ride in a luxury tour bus was widely reported as the reason he was sent back to prison; several sites said the bus was deemed an unacceptable mode of transportation. Upon his arrival at the halfway house, T.I. was taken back into federal custody.
Last week, TMZ published an incident report that clarified why T.I.'s first trip to the halfway house was actually cut short. According to the report, T.I. was on the bus last month with his wife, his manager and two VH1 producers. His manager and the television producers, however, were not authorized to be aboard the vehicle. The document also suggested that T.I. was conducting business during the interstate ride — a violation of his furlough.
Still, Sadow contended that his client hadn't violated any previous agreements and that the disciplinary committee agreed.

Rihanna Announces Fall Release For New Album

Pop singer hints that the studio effort will include dubstep influences.

After teasing details about her upcoming album earlier this week, Rihanna continued delivering details about the record on Friday (September 16) when she tweeted that her sixth studio album will drop this fall.
When one of the Barbados beauty's Twitter followers asked, "When's the next album due?" Rihanna exuberantly replied, "THIS FALL!!!!!"
With the singer's celebratory party anthem "Cheers" currently riding high on radio airwaves, Rihanna hinted that the forthcoming LP may include dubstep influences as heard on her 2009 effort Rated R. "You KNOW how I been lovin Dubstep since Rated R," she tweeted.
Don't expect the songstress to take a break from the biz anytime soon either. Asked if she can take some time off, the 23-year-old chart topper wrote, "Yes, when I'm tired!!!"
Collaborators for the forthcoming project began dishing details on the LP months ago. Back in July, producer Verse Simmonds, who worked on the Rihanna's reggae-infused hit "Man Down," talked to MTV News' Mixtape Daily about the album's progress.
"From what I understand, she's closing the album up now, and we did two records for her that she really, really loved, and I'm really excited about them as well," Simmonds said. "They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts."
Simmonds admitted that he was "99.999 percent" his Jugganauts' contributions will make the final cut, adding that his tunes on the LP will not sound similar to "Man Down."

 

Matthew Fox Not Facing Charges in Party Bus Incident

Cleveland prosecutors have decided to not charge Matthew Fox for allegedly punching a female bus driver in the groin.
The Lost star was briefly detained last month after he allegedly attacked a female bus driver who denied the actor access to a party bus that he had demanded chauffeur him back to the Ritz-Carlton.
Driver Heather Bormann then filed an assault report as well as a civil lawsuit against Fox.
So why no criminal case?


City spokeswoman Andrea Taylor says in a statement Friday the decision was made "after a thorough review of the facts," but the bus driver in question, Heather Bormann, has phoned her lawyer saying the city's decision is a "miscarriage of justice."
Bormann's attorney, J. Norman Stark, tells E! News that his client was stunned by the whole incident.
"I'm one of the old-fashioned guys that say you don't hit a woman even if she hits you," says the legal eagle. "She was shocked when he popped her. And when he kept hitting her, she turned around and slugged him and bloodied his lip. And then he still wouldn't stop, so she smacked him in the back of the head. Then his friends grabbed him and pulled him off, away from the bus, and then the police came and handcuffed him, but then turned him over to friends to take him back to his hotel quietly."
Fox still has to face Bormann's civil complaint alleging assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and seeking at least $75,000 in compensatory and punitive damages, as well as all litigation and attorney fees.

Brad Pitt: Jennifer Aniston Marriage Diss In Parade Magazine Not Intended


Things had been going really well for Brad Pitt this fall, with glamorous film festival appearances, Oscar buzz and even some real-life heroics in Scotland. So, leave it to that never-ending thorn in his side -- his former marriage to Jennifer Aniston -- to complicate things.
Appearing on the cover of the upcoming Parade Magazine, he seems less than positive about his ex-wife in a number of quotes made available ahead of time from the article.
“I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out," he tells the magazine. "It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t."
Before the magazine even hits newsstands, Pitt has released a statement to try to pre-empt the controversy, saying that he was taken out of context, and that his career was truly the issue.
“It grieves me that this was interpreted this way," he says. "Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for.”
Pitt discussed his past unhappiness with Entertainment Weekly in their latest cover story, too, though he was speaking about his career with that magazine.
“I am miserable. Six months in the f*cking dark. Contact lenses, makeup, I’m playing the bitch role…” he said about the "Interview with a Vampire" shoot. “One day, it broke me… I called David Geffen, who was a producer… I said, ‘David, I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do it. How much will it take to get me out?’ And he goes, very calmly, ‘Forty million dollars.’”
In happier remarks, Pitt glows about his current partner and the mother of his children, Angelina Jolie.
“I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man," he tells Parade. "I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. … That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.” 

Pitt stars in the upcoming "Moneyball," the critical darling that is earning raves from baseball fans -- it's about Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane -- and film reviewers alike.

Will Smith and Marc Anthony Bonded Over Football Game

The story that Will Smith and Marc Anthony are fighting over the same woman is proven false as the two were spotted bonding over a football game. Together, they watched the Miami Dolphins take on the New England Patriots from their VIP box on Monday, September 12.

Will's marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith was the subject of a split rumor last month, and Marc, Jada's co-star on TNT series "Hawthrone", was accused as the other man. Will and Jada have been fighting back this rumor by releasing a denial through their reps and putting a united front in Malibu.

Turns out there is more to show. Marc invited Will and Dwyane Wade to share his luxury box at the game. They threw their arms around each other, made peace signs and smiled to the camera but Dwayne said after the game that the two's friendship is genuine.

Marc, who has just split from wife Jennifer Lopez, is a part-owner of the Dolphins.

Exclusive: Jada Pinkett Smith and Marc Anthony: What Really Happened

Much ado about...well, not nothing, exactly.
Last week, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith shot down a tabloid report that they were ending their 14-year marriage -- and that Pinkett Smith had an affair with Marc Anthony, her love interest on TV's HawthoRNe.


But although Pinkett Smith 39, and Anthony, 42, never had a full-blown romantic affair, one source tells Us the twosome had an "inappropriately close" friendship.
"They were a little touchy and like they were in their own little world," a set source explains, adding that the twosome often hung out alone in his trailer, and talked and texted frequently.


And when Anthony's own seven-year marriage to Jennifer Lopez began to fall apart, he leaned on his work pal.
"The more distant Marc and Jennifer became, the closer he got to Jada," a family insider says, adding that Pinkett Smith may have "overstepped her bounds" in lending Anthony marital advice.
"Jennifer didn't like that."

And the winner is... Miss Angola becomes first from her country to be crowned Miss Universe

Leila Lopes made history for her country yesterday, after becoming the very first Miss Angola to be crowned Miss Universe.

The 25-year-old laughed and smiled as she hugged runner-up Miss Ukraine, Olesia Stefanko, before having her crown firmly placed on her head at the pageant held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The business student from Angola’s seaside city of Beguela, dazzled the panel of judges with both her beauty and brains.
When she had been asked earlier what she might change about her physical characteristics, Leila replied that she was satisfied with who she was.

'I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty,' she told the judges and the audience.
'I have acquired many wonderful principles from my family, and I plan to follow those through the rest of my life.'

Her down-to-earth nature was complemented with immense outer beauty too though, which she showed off in a bright yellow bikini during the swimsuit parade.


After displaying her bikini body to millions of fans watching the pageant on TV around the world, Lopes paraded around the stage with poise in a form-fitting gold and silver sequinned evening gown.

Miss Angola bet 88 competitors in the 60th annual Miss Universe pageant.

Finalists accompanying Lopes into the top five were Miss Ukraine Olesia Stefanko, Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup, Miss China Luo Zilin and Miss Brazil Priscila Machado.
While the other countries that made the top ten were Miss Australia Scherri-lee Biggs, Miss Costa Rica Johanna Solano, Miss France Laury Thilleman, Miss Portugal Laura Goncalves and Miss Panama Sheldry Saez.
  

As well as competing in categories ranging from swimsuits to evening gowns, the women also had to answer the critical question that tells the judges a bit about them.

In fan voting, Lopes tallied only a 3.6 score for the swimsuit but earned a 7.2 for her evening gown.
Fan voting, however, did not count in the final tallies from nine judges.
The panelists, who ranged from race car driver Helio Castroneves to actress Vivica A. Fox and journalist Connie Chung, scored the women on each contest, narrowing from a group of 16 down to a final five.


The show was hosted by U.S. television personalities Andy Cohen and Natalie Morales.

Out of the past 13 pageants held in the past decade, seven have been won by Latina contestants, making Miss Angola’s win even more exciting for her home country.
Miss Angola started competing in the Miss Universe competitions in 1998, with the first ever contestant from the African nation being Emilia Guardado.

Since 1997, two Miss Angolas have been semi-finalists in the top 15 and one made it into the top 10, but Leila Lopes is the first to be crowned with the title.

Andy Whitfield, 'Spartacus' Star, Dead At 39 Actor died in Sydney on Sunday after battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Andy Whitfield, star of the Starz Entertainment sword-and-sandal series "Spartacus," died in Australia on Sunday at the age of 39.
The muscled actor succumbed to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of blood cancer with which he was diagnosed in March 2010, according to The New York Times.
Whitfield was born in Wales, but made his home in Australia, where he first came to attention after stints in a number TV shows, including "All Saints" and "Packed to the Rafters." The sometime model had his biggest breakthrough, though, when he was cast in the Starz series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," in which he played the title role of a soldier who leads a rebellion against the Roman Empire. The series was an instant hit thanks to his turn in the classic role that had previously been filled by such screen icons as Kirk Douglas.
Look back when Hollywood Crush named Andy Whitfield a Hump Day Hottie last year.
After his diagnosis last March, Whitfield began to undergo treatment in New Zealand, which led to the delay of the second season of the show and the filming of a six-part prequel, "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," for which he provided some voiceover work. He was initially declared cancer-free a few months after treatment, but suffered a relapse later in the year that forced him to abandon the role, which was recast.
His wife, Vashti, issued a statement on Sunday confirming his death. "On a beautiful sunny Sydney morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his love wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18-month battle with lymphoma cancer ... he passed peacefully surrounded by love," the statement said. "Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have helped carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was."
The cable network Whitfield called home also released a statement on his passing. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield," said Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht. "We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in 'Spartacus' and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life. Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and fans."

Did Selena Gomez Get Justin Bieber's Name Tattooed On Her Wrist (PHOTOS)

Ever since Selena Gomez, 19, and Justin Bieber, 17, decided to go public with their relationship, they've been open with the PDA's, kissing on camera, surprising each other on tour and now it seems like they might be taking things to the next level -- permanently.
Gomez took the stage at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Saturday, revealing what looks like a new tattoo. The singer and actress had the name "Justin" written in black ink on her right wrist.
If the ink is permanent, this seems like a big commitment for the very, young couple. But perhaps it's just the beginning if the couple plans to one day make their relationship more permanent as well.
Bieber recently told reporters that while he wasn't looking to get married now, by the time he 25 or 26-years-old he'd like to be married and starting a family.
More signs that that Gomez' tattoo could be real; she seems have an interest in body art. The starlet has a squeaky clean image but has recently been spotted with a tiny tattoo of a cross on her left wrist and recently got a large henna tattoo of her nickname "Sels" on her shoulder. This, coupled with Bieber's affinity for ink, means Justin's name could be a permanent accessory to her wrist.

Assault Saga: Official Statement From Olisa Adibua

As has been widely reported I was involved in an altercation with a work colleague during the week. I am deeply regretful of what transpired and have taken full responsibility for my actions. I have privately apologized to my colleague, the team that I work with and I am taking this opportunity to apologize to the public at large.
As humans we all make mistakes and I made a major one which is completely out of character. I over reacted to a situation and that is something that will never repeat itself.
Despite being at the centre of a media feeding frenzy, I’ve been silent in order to allow the organization, to which I’m affiliated with and at who’s premises the incident occurred, to carry out its investigations and come to a conclusion but most importantly to allow the aggrieved party (Mr. Adewunmi Oyekanmi) time to accept my heartfelt apology.
While the events have been distorted, I am very apologetic about the situation but picking holes in the media reports or pointing out the falsehoods will not be useful, however, any kind of loss of control is not excusable and I have since tendered an unreserved apology to 'Dewunmi. I have always preached against violence and so this is a time for some reflection. Again, I apologize and I thank ‘Dewunmi for accepting my apology.

I would like to thank the hundreds of people who called me and those who sent in messages
For more than 20years now, I’ve operated in the Electronic media sector without a blemish but by this action, I have let myself down and most importantly I’ve let Family, Friends and the millions of people who look up to me, down.”
To those who have been clamoring for my response, I thank you for your patience and understanding.
Thank you very much and God Bless.
Olisa Adibua
