New-York Celebrates Nelson Mandela 91’st B’dayFormer South African President Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday was celebrated by a concert at Radio City Music Hall last night (July 18) that included a rare performance by Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Mandela was too frail to attend the “Mandela Day” celebration, but he addressed the audience in a video. Mandela was a leading activist against apartheid in South Africa.
“Our struggle for freedom and justice was a collective effort. Mandela Day is no different,” he said. “It is our hope that people will dedicate their time and effort to improve the conditions within their own community.”
President Barack Obama also delivered a video message. “From New York to Cape Town, people are celebrating this extraordinary man,” Obama said. “The story of his life can be summed up in Nelson Mandela’s own words, ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done.’”
Stevie Wonder led the finale by all the concert’s performers and actors Morgan Freeman, Forest Whitaker and Susan Sarandon among others. They sang Wonder’s hit “Happy Birthday.” The Soweto Gospel Choir sang backup throughout the night.
The concert also featured such prominent artists as Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Gloria Gaynor and a number of African artists, including Baaba Maal.
Eighties pop queen Cyndi Lauper performed an unlikely duet with rapper Lil’ Kim in a rendition of Lauper’s ‘80s hit “Time After Time.” Oddly, it worked.
Alicia Keys and African artist Angelique Kidjo swirled their hips singing “Afrika.”
Dressed in black trouser suit, Bruni-Sarkozy played guitar with UK musician Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics in a folk acoustic duet of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.”
“It’s not very good for dancing, but very good for dreaming,” the 41-year-old former nude model said before launching into her French hit “Quelqu’un m’a dit” (”Someone told me”).
Happy B’day Madiba!!!

























































Michael Jackson didnt want to be white he had vitiligo
Shocking photos have emerged showing how drugs ravaged Michael Jackson’s legs as it was revealed that detectives are treating his death as homicide. Bruises, needle marks and a gruesome black wound can be seen in the previously unseen images which were broadcast to millions by U.S. TV network ABC.
They had been released by the singer’s father Joe to show his son had vitiligo, the skin-whitening disease, which Jackson had always claimed he’d had. However their release has raised more questions about the star’s drug use.
And
The black wound appears to have been caused where an intravenous line, fed into his leg, was removed and fluids dripped into his lower leg.
Normally, IV tubes go into the arms.
There are also puncture marks peppering the skin on his legs which appear to have been caused by needlemarks.
Dr Debra Jaliman, a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Dermatology, told the ABC network: ‘It looks like there are multiple punctures from intravenous placement.
‘If the IV fluid went into his skin it may have destroyed it.’
The specialist said of the 2002 pictures it was ‘unusual’ to inject drugs into the legs, but that the measure would be taken if no veins in the upper body were accessible.
The blackness of the wound is believed to be the result of necrosis, the death of most or all the cells in tissue due to disease.
Disgusted!!!

Rihanna’s New Album to Have More Rock ‘n’ Roll Materials“The album will be full of musical styles and will mark a change for Rihanna and her fans, who will not be disappointed with the result,” so Rihanna Daily wrote on its site. “At the moment nobody has recorded, with the exception of those with the singer Chris Brown, which were canceled and will not appear on the album.”
Furthermore, several duets between Rihanna and undisclosed featured guests will be included in the new record. Other details about this studio project are still under tight wraps, but earlier last month, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Kanye West were rumored to hit studio with her. She was also claimed to team up with Trina to diss Chris Brown.
Most recently, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Soulja Boy, Shontelle and Pharrell Williams were said to help Rihanna working on the album as well. Up to date, there is no clue on when she will drop the effort.
Beside being busy with her own project, Rihanna also managed to give some advice to Sugababes on choosing materials for the British group’s new album. She has been listening to Sugababes’ new songs and “saying what she liked and what she didn’t.”
Russel Simmons and girlfriend split!!!Russell Simmons and his young model girlfriend Porschla Coleman are no longer a couple:
Aww too bad.Russell Simmons and Porschla Coleman will always have yoga, but they may not always have each other. In between deep breaths and green vegetable smoothies, the couple, who had been dating since last year, found time to frequent beaches and then move in together, but it’s time for Russell to Do Him! According to sources, Simmons recently called it splitsville, with a send off note in his Huffington Post blog that ran last Thursday. In his note, he congratulated Porschla for her recent certification in Jivamukti Yoga and gave her what reads like a glowing review before closing with “thank you for the inspiration.” The only thing left for him to say may have been, God Bless and Good Night!
Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo Split upThe romance is over between Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. Just a few weeks after her ex Nick Lachey broke up with his girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, Jess and Tony have decided to call it quits.
A source close to Jessica tells People that Tony broke up with the Jessica last Thursday, which was the night before her 29th birthday. Talk about bad timing!
The source says, “She is heartbroken. She loves Tony. But it’s been difficult lately. He’s busy with his career and she’s getting ready to shoot her show (The Price of Beauty). They decided to part ways.”
Tony wasted no time getting back out on the dating field. He was spotted at LA hotspot MyHouse on Friday night (Jess’ bday night). A source says, “He had quite a few girls stop by his dance floor table. Romo was sipping Grey Goose and having a fun time with the boys.”
The source added, “They were good together for along time. But I guess it wasn’t meant to be.”
Jessica seems to be taking it in stride. On Sunday she tweeted, “Everyone needs to know that hope floats … grab the strings and pull it back to you.” Three hours later, she wrote, “Falling asleep with my mom and the dogs. Please lord give all of my beautiful fans, friends, enemies, and family rest. Bring all of us peace.”
Poor Jessica!!! She’s fat , her music and acting career are over and she got dumped…Hopefully, she’ll bounce back.

She used to be known as ” The Body” But it seems at the grand old age of 45, Elle Macpherson’s body appears to be showing the first signs of wear and tear.
Photographed as she attended a glamorous party to launch a new Jaguar car at the Saatchi Gallery in West London, Miss Macpherson wore a short gold dress which showed off her legs fabulously.
On closer inspection, the knee and thigh on the model’s right leg appear to be suffering from the dreaded appearance of sagging loose skin.
