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. The song features the Barbados-born singer’s signature robust voice, but has a minimal backdrop of McCartney’s guitar strumming without percussion or electronic elements. 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.
