VIDEO: Boyfriend Surprises Weather Girl with Surprise Proposal Live On-Air
As a weather forecaster, she makes
predictions for a living, but this was one event the Augusta, Georgia, woman
did not see coming.
Jenna Lee Thomas, who works for news
station WJBF, got the surprise of a lifetime last week when her boyfriend, Eric Wright
proposed during a live broadcast.
The surprise proposal took place during one
of Lee Thomas's five-day forecasts on Augusta, Georgia news station WJBF, where
squeaks of delight were heard before she'd even finished telling the audience
what weather to expect on Saturday.
Requiring the help of everyone from the
weekend newsanchor Jillian Benfield to the show's runners, Wright's ruse saw
him hiding in the studio's bathroom to leap out at the right moment to surprise
her.
Shocked and full of excitement, Ms Thomas
accepted, saying 'I love you' and planting a long, passionate kiss on his lips.
They will be married in August 2012.

Lindsay Lohan's Stolen Purse Returned, But Not $10,000 Cash in The Purse
Three
things are happening: Lindsay Lohan’s purse was stolen. Lindsay Lohan’s stolen purse was
returned. Lindsay Lohan is missing $10,000 from said purse.
So many unanswered questions like, who removed $10,000 in cash, do they make bills larger than $100, and was there a large silver briefcase inside her purse to carry all the cash?
Here’s what happened: Lindsay spent the weekend in Hawaii with her sister Ali and some friends, to “take a break” from volunteering at the morgue.
She was at a house party on the island and said during that time her white Chanel purse was stolen from the Jeep she was riding around the island.
Lindsay started freaking out because her purse contained her passport and ID and probation paperwork stating she was allowed to be on the island only for the weekend. She also has to appear in court on Wednesday and therefore needed her passport and ID to get back on the plane.
She sent the party goers into frenzy mode, making everyone search for the purse. Then, some “suspicious looking” locals, according to TMZ, showed up with the purse, claiming he found it on the street somewhere.
Everything was in the bag, except the $10,000 in cash. Lindsay's rep Steve Honig says, “Everything was still in the purse, except the cash she was carrying with her.”
Apparently, Lindsay was so relieved to have her documents back that she didn’t even question the guy as to where all her cash went.

Meanwhile,
Lindsay’s nude playboy photos have leaked online along with some excerpts from
the interview. “Sex and sexuality are a part of nature, and I go along with
nature,” says Lohan.
Lindsay adds that its import to “[know] yourself and your body because it gives you confidence.”
Is this how these Playboy interviews always are? Celebs talking about how great they feel naked?
Anyways, Lindsay also adds, “It’s a very male-dominated world to begin with, so knowing yourself and being comfortable with your body is an important thing for me as a woman,” she says.

Zimbabwe PM Tsvangirai Fined 2 Cows & 2 Sheep For Breaking A Cultural Taboo
State radio says a traditional African
chief has fined Zimbabwe's prime minister two cows, two sheep and 10 yards
(meters) of cotton cloth for breaking a tribal taboo that forbids marriage
negotiations during a period deemed "sacred" in ancient folklore.
State radio said Monday that a Harare
businesswoman who had a relationship with widower Morgan Tsvangirai claimed he
paid a traditional "bride price" and married her in November when no
marriage rites are allowed. Tsvangirai has acknowledged the relationship, which
he broke off last month, but denied a marriage.
State radio said Tsvangirai was given 30
days to "pay" the chief.
Tsvangirai's party, in a fragile coalition
government, says it does not recognize the chief's powers and insists the
marriage claims were fabricated by Mugabe's party to discredit their leader.

Nigeria Produces First Female Fighter Pilot
Blessing
Liman, 25, from Kaduna State has become Nigeria’s first female military pilot.
Blessing was commissioned last Friday alongside 126 others who completed the
Direct Short Service Course 2010/11 Cadets of 325 Ground Training Group at the
NAF Base, Kaduna.
Elated Blessing said she was very excited and proud to make history. In her
words, “It is very uplifting and I feel very proud of myself though it has been
very challenging. Coming from the civil war and the civil mentality, the Air
Force has done a great job because it has changed our orientation. I believe
that all females have equal opportunity to dignify their rights in whatever
adventure they choose they can do.”
Congratulations
to Blessing Liman for being Nigeria’s first female military pilot…
JUNGLE JUSTICE?: Nigerian Ladies’ Attraction to Stealing Blackberry Phones

According to ladunliadi, this lady is a prostitute and was picked up by a man to spend the night with him. After having a nice time together, she drugged his drink and made away with his Blackberry phone, wristwatch and little cash. The guy contacted another lady, who later called the (prostitute) on phone pretending to be an old friend she forgot and told her there was a new guy in town who just returned from the US and needs a babe. She fell for the trap and when she got to V.I the said location, she was arrested by a Mopol, the lady and guy had hired.
She was arrested and she confessed stealing the said items because she had a sick mum at home. They followed her to her one bedroom apartment and found her mum lying there sick.
Was she right to have stolen the items to be able to take care of her mother?
{via ladunliadi}
But what is it with some Nigerian ladies and Blackberry Phones? Some Nigerian guys have been taking undue advantage of this scandalous act, enforcing instant jungle justice by stripping these "petty thieves". Some they fondle...I think this act of justice is callous when there are Police stations around to report the matter to.
The ladies in the pics below were recently reported to have stolen various Blackberry phones and were met with instant justice;

Advice for Nigerian
ladies:
Ladies, you
don’t need a Blackberry at all cost, and if you do, please ask your parents to
provide you one (that’s if they could afford it), or probably if you have a
boyfriend ask him to give you one as a gift for your next birthday, Christmas
gifts, or something. But please don't go stealing.

Fake Doctor Charged With Manslaughter After Fatal ‘Silicon Injection' In Penis Enhancement
![]() |
| Kasia
Rivera, 34, has been placed under arrest, for illegally performing a penis enhancement without a licence |
The Essex County prosecutor’s office says
34-year-old Kasia Rivera gave 22-year-old Justin Street the injection on May 5.
Such injections often are used to enlarge body parts, such as the buttocks.
Street died the day after his injection.
His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and a medical
examiner’s determination he died of a silicone embolism.
Rivera also faces charges for the
unauthorized practice of medicine. She was arrested Friday and is being held on
$75,000 bail. It’s unclear if she has a lawyer. No telephone listing could be
found for her home in East Orange.

Jennifer Aniston Voted the Hottest Woman of All Time!
It’s official: Jennifer Aniston is America’s hottest
girl-next-door.
The actress took the No. 1 slot in a recent
Men’s Health poll, beating out fellow bombshells from past and
present—including one-time man-stealer Angelina
Jolie, who landed at No. 10.
“Funny is sexy, and Jennifer Aniston is
funny,” the magazine explained on its website. “Her down-to-earth persona makes
her seem attainable.
“And her all-too-human love life off screen
inspires sympathy that not even a string of bland romantic comedies can
diminish.”
Right behind Aniston at the top of the list
are Raquel Welch, Marilyn
Monroe, Britney
Spears and Madonna, rounding out the top five.
Aniston spoke to Men’s Health about her own
pick for Hottest Woman of All Time.
“It’s a tie between Brigitte
Bardot and Gloria
Steinem,” she said. “But if I had to choose one, I’d say Gloria,
because, well, she’s the full package. That’s sexy.”
Petite Gospel Act, Nikki Laoye Weds Today
| Nikki Laoye |
Today
is bound to be a special day for Nikki, as the petite gospel act walks down the
aisle with her hubby, Alexander Oturu.
Just
last June, Alexander opened a blog http://sammieal.blogspot.com and proposed to
Nikki on the 26th of the same month through the same blog.
Surprisingly,
he proposed to the singer on the day “One Mic Niaja concert” was held, and
Nikki happened to be the headliner of the show.
According
to Vanguard, the two lovebirds, during one of their hangouts at the Chicken
Republic, Ikoyi, Alexander gave Nikki a long prose, eulogizing her beauty and
how lucky he was to have found her. Finally, he asked her to marry him.
Dumbfounded, Nikki was said to have burst into tears. And unable to hold back,
she immediately replied with a big ‘yes’.
Thereafter,
the petite gospel singer posted his proposal letter on her facebook wall and
congratulatory messages poured in from friends. The wedding is billed to hold
today at the Grandeur Event Centre, Billingsway, Oregun Ikeja.
Nikki
released one album titled Angel For Life.
Happy
Married life to Alexander Oturu and Nikki Laoye.
