As long as Hanks keep denying this allegation, it seems some one is trying to play a fast one on his person or hanks may just use this as a platform to lip back. Popular gangster actor, Hanks Anuku is heartbroken at the moment. Like in a movie set, the actor is brooding over his wounds after news went viral online during the week, accusing him of testing positive to HIV/AIDS, and deliberately infecting his wife with the deadly virus.   Anuku, who is hale and hearty has since refuted the report. His publicist, Bayo Adeoye while reacting to the report, described it as “not only confusing but a total lie.  “ There is no iota of truth in that story!

There were some moments that went against the usual Oscar formula of tears and gratitude. Patricia Arquette’s feminist call to arms at the end of her acceptance speech for supporting actress was unexpected and fierce. “We have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America,” she said. “Citizenfour,” about the National Security Agency leaker Edward J. Snowden, won best documentary, and its makers thanked Mr. Snowden, who is still in Russia, for his courage. Mr. Harris joked that Mr. Snowden “couldn’t be here for some treason.” Oscar nights usually do have their share of political posturing, but this was a particularly passionate evening. This year, in addition to Ms. Arquette’s speech, the question of race in Hollywood was addressed with both  humour.   In his opening monologue, Mr. Harris made a barbed allusion to the lack of diversity among the Academy by saying, “Tonig

Your phones must be on full Internet subscriptions to pick up life streams.

A bidding war is under way for TV rights in at least 200 countries outside the US, the UK included with Sky, BT, BoxNation and perhaps ITV in contention for the bout, which is due to take place in Las Vegas on May 2. With the combined purse for Mayweather and Pacquiao totalling at least $250million, projections for the value of the event are rising from an initial $300m to close on half a billion.  If that comes to pass – and there are 10 weeks of promotional hype and hysteria to come - the rewards for the combatants will increase. Come May 2, all th

The gloves worn by Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston in their 1965 rematch were expected to fetch upward of $1 million at auction in February. T he boxing gloves Muhammad Ali wore when he won the world heavyweight championship for the first time sold at auction for $956,000 on Saturday night. Both pairs of gloves from the May 25, 1965, bout in Lewiston, Maine -- won by Ali with a first-round knockout from what some saw as a "phantom punch" Footage of the fight does not make it clear whether Ali's quick right hand actually connected, and many fans booed. Even the most famous photos of the fight show an enraged Ali standing over Liston as he lay on the canvas, gesturing and yelling at him to get up and fight. Given the controversial way the bout ended, the boxers' gloves were seized by George Russo, the boxing commissioner for Maine. The gloves remained in the Russo family until they were purchased several years ago by a California collector who is now selli

American Sniper As a young boy, which is to say before he grows up into a burly, bearded  Bradley Cooper , Chris Kyle receives a lesson in life from his strict Texan father. The world, according to Dad, is divided into sheep, wolves and sheepdogs, those rare, righteous souls called to protect the innocent from the wicked. It’s a tough, stark view of the order of things, one that guides Chris in his subsequent career as a Navy SEAL sniper and one that has, with some modification, informed much of the work of  Clint Eastwood , the director of “American Sniper.”  Faithful in shape and spirit to  the real Chris Kyle ’s memoir, “American Sniper” also reaffirms Mr. Eastwood’s commitment to the themes of vengeance and justice in a fallen world. In the universe of his films — a universe where the existence of evil is a given — violence is a moral necessity, albeit one that often exacts a cost from those who must wield it in the service of good. “American Sniper” are celebrations of th

Rihanna, whose songs have always topped the charts globally, is feeling happy with the success of her newly unveiled acoustic song which she did with Beatles legend, Paul McCartney, and rapper, Kanye West. The R&B pop diva, who turns 27 next month, unexpectedly released the new single, ‘FourFiveSeconds’, last Saturday.

Some verses were also sung by West. The track is the latest collaboration between West and McCartney, who unexpectedly released a song on New Year’s Day after the two stars met each other in Los Angeles. Few days after the release of the song, she tweeted to her fans, “Thank you to everyone supporting my new album! I’m grateful! Glory be to the Almighty.” Her tweet was re-tweeted by about 10,000 and Favorited about 17,000 times respectively. ‘FourFiveSeconds’ is a song about personal t

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said Saturday's shock 1-0 loss to Malaga at the Camp Nou was "deserved" and "damaging" for his team. Barca went into the game on a run of 11 straight wins and with a chance to go top of La Liga for the first time since early November, but were thwarted by a superbly-organised Malaga, who scored the winner through forward Juanmi. Luis Enrique told his post-match news conference: "This result is damaging for us, although Malaga played a very good game and set up very well. Barcelona made seven changes to the team that thrashed Levante 5-0 last weekend, recalling Alves, Luis Suarez, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba to the starting line-up and opting to rest Ivan Rakitic and Javier Mascherano. Malaga went into Saturday's game 21 points behind Barcelona in the table and the result was all the more surprising as the Catalans had previously won their last 11 games in a row in all competitions, scoring 42 goals in the proc

My name is Precious John and I am the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Model of the Year 2014. I am 22 years old. I am studying Mass Communication at Lead City University, Ibadan. I am from Anambra State. I started modelling at the age of 19. I have done look-books for designers like Clan Diaries, Maki Oh and Phunk Afrique to mention but a few. Growing up, I developed a passion for modelling and also wanted to be a beauty queen. Last year, I felt the time was right for me to go into pageantry. MBGN was my first choice and I bought the form. My parents did not support my decision to become a model. They believe only badly-behaved children become models. With time, they saw reason with me and approved of my decision to take part in MBGN. I am happy I emerged MBGN Model of the Year. I was rewarded with a one-year contract with a modelling agency and the opportunity to attend the New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and other notable fashion shows in Nigeria.

A group of Chelsea fans have been caught on video refusing to let a black passenger on a metro train after Chelsea's 1-1 draw with PSG in the Champions League. After pushing passenger out of a carriage they go on to chant 'we're racist and that's the way we like it'.

We got on the train and at the station where the man was trying to get on we stopped for a couple of minutes. Could be a strong defense?

Wilfried Bony should be celebrating a goal on his Manchester City debut. The imperious Yaya Toure feeds the ball to him, after a poor Tim Krul clearance falls to him, but the Newcastle goalkeeper makes amends by blocking the striker's shot with his legs. Manchester City 5-0 Newcastle "It was a superb game for City, the most disappointing part has probably been from set-pieces but all in all a good afternoon." while the most trending player in the EPL Wilfred Bonny had a disappointing start. The Ivorian, who cost £25m from Swansea, replaces Sergio Aguero and is greeted by a huge ovation only to put a foot wrong when expected to deliever. Good luck Bonny. Goal from: Aguero, Nasri , Dzeko and Silva. Newcastle have a tough run in of games coming up, they could face relegation at this stage if they don't pick things up.
