KATE MIDDLETON AND PRINCE WILLIAM EXPECTING FIRST CHILD

The most anticipated pregnancy was announced today by St. James Palace on behalf of Kate and her husband Prince William. The child, whether boy or girl, will eventually be heir to the British throne according to new legislation awaiting final approval.

The duchess was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital today in central London with hyperemesis gravidarum, an acute morning sickness which requires supplementary hydration and nutrients, the palace said. Big big congrats to them!

BLOGGER'S THOUGHTS: MY TAKE ON HOMOSEXUALITY IN NIGERIA

There's been so much debate (well not so much debate as much as condemnation) on the issue of homosexuality in Nigeria. It's now legally a crime to be involved in homosexual activities. I completely and totally and expressly believe it's inappropriate and wrong and a sin in the eyes of God (my Bible tells me so) to engage in sexual activities with a person of the same sex but to consider it a crime? No. I believe if a person wants to engage in homosexuality, it's between him/her and his/her God but it is a personal decision and shouldn't be considered a crime especially when no one is being physically or emotionally (spiritually, yes) hurt by their activities. Sexual orientation should not be decided by a government.

Please lovely readers, share your sincere and pragmatic views.

HUGH HEFNER ENGAGED TO CRYSTAL HARRIS AGAIN

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner is engaged (again) to Crystal Harris (again) and the two will walk down the aisle at the Playboy Mansion on New Year’s Eve. Crystal canceled her wedding to the Playboy founder in June, 2011 just five days before wedding. They are back together now and she moved back into the Playboy Mansion earlier this year.

Crystal claims the time she spent apart from Hef 'really taught her how to be independent and stand on her own two feet', something she felt she needed. She will be wearing the same gown she bought in early 2011 for the wedding's original date. This would be the third marriage for 86-year-old Hefner and first for the 26-year-old Harris, who was Playboy Playmate of the Month in December 2009.

Abeg, does an 86-year-old man's 'tool' still work? Na simple question o, don't insult me abeg.

PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALLER USES £20 NOTES TO WIPE HIS ARSE

28-year-old West Brom defender, Liam Ridgewell, wipes his backside with a wad of £20 notes after using the toilet. You can see more of the notes scattered on the floor in front of him like it means nothing to him. The Premier League star earns at least £20,000 a week and apparently doesn't know anything better to do with his money.

I find this very offensive, there are millions of people in the world who leave below poverty line ($1 a day). All you football lovers can criticize me all you want but I personally believe footballers earn way too much for what they do.

MARIO BALOTELLI'S WEIRD NEW TATTOO

Manchester City striker, Mario Balotelli celebrated his first Barclays Premier League goal of the season by having the words of Genghis Khan inscribed on his torso, ‘I am the punishment of God,’ reads the artwork. ‘If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.’ That's really weird.

Angry: Bahraini protesters chant slogans and hold banners against Kim Kardashian's presence.

Just before after Kim Kardashian, who was in Kuwait earlier this week, opened the Bahrain branch of her Millions of Milkshakes shop, more than 50 hardline Islamic protesters had gathered to denounce the 31-year-old's presence in the Gulf kingdom. Riot police were forced to fire tear gas at the angry crowd. The protesters were seen chanting 'God is Great' near the shopping complex in Riffa, about 12 miles south of the capital Manama. They were however cleared before Kim appeared late today.

GOVERNOR OKOROCHA'S ADC BEAT POLICEMAN TO A STATE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS

Around 12:30am on Saturday, the Aide-de-Camp to the Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr. Omo Gabriel, and two other police officers allegedly beat up a policeman, Corporal Itere Ewedor, attached to the state government house for delaying in opening the gate for the governor’s convoy returning from his wife’s birthday party. I learnt the beating left the policeman unconscious.

According to a friend of the victim, Mr. David Edhie, when the governor's convoy got to the gate, the men of the civil defence corps and members of the Imo orientation corps, who were supposed to open the gate, were not around. So, there was a delay. Then his friend, Corporal Itere Ewedor, went to open the gate. When the convoy drove in, the ADC, a superintendent of police, and two other senior police officers came down and asked him why he delayed. They wanted to collect his gun, but he refused. So, they started beating him. They beat him until he became unconscious, with bruises all over his face and parts of his body.

The ADC took Ewedor, in his unconscious state, to Shell Camp Police Station and requested that he be detained but the police officers at the station refused. They said they could not detain someone that was dying. Then Gabriel made arrangements for Ewedor to be taken to the Federal Medical Centre Owerri, where he was admitted. After sometime, he regained consciousness and was discharged from the hospital around 5pm on Saturday. What can fa all this nonsense, someone needs to check the excesses of these governors' boys. They should be charged with assault.
