Sarah Ferguson appears on the Oprah show to explain access to Prince Andrew scandal
Sarah Ferguson, Sarah Ferguson, Sarah Ferguson. I don't know whether to applaud her or feel sorry for her. I mean, how desperate can you get to do something like this?
For those who don't know the story, in May 2010, the ex-British royal was caught on video tape (by a News of the World reporter) accepting money in exchange for a promise of business access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew, who is a British Trade Representative.
She was filmed receiving in cash $40, 000 as a down payment from an undercover reporter, Mazher Mahmood, who was posing as an Indian businessman. The Prince's entourage denied that the prince was aware of the situation.
She's since apologized for her actions and appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show to explain what happened. She said: 'I haven't faced the devil in the face because I was in the gutter at that moment.' She admitted she had seen clips of herself accepting £27,000 in cash while travelling through airports in the US last week.
They were married for ten years (86-96). They have two daughters together and are still very much in each other's lives.***
What do you think of her collecting money to introduce people to her ex? Probably something a lot of us would do huh? lol
Another fake LASTMA Officer arrested
Olufemi Akanni
Another fake officer of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has been arrested by the police in Lagos State, Nigeria.
The 35-year old man, Mr. Akanni Olufemi, was an employee of LASTMA in 2006 and was dismissed in 2007 for allegedly stealing car tapes of an impounded vehicle at the LASTMA headquarters, Oshodi.
An indigene of Oyo State, Olufemi did not deny that he was a fake LASTMA officer, but confirmed that he used the uniform to extort money from road users in the area. He also said he wore the uniform to trade between Lagos and Badagry where he buys second hand clothing and to avoid paying transport fares.
Celine Dion, 42, pregnant with twins
Singer Celine Dion is reportedly pregnant with twins after her sixth attempt at in-vitro fertilisation.
The 42-year-old Canadian star's dream of expanding her family has come true, her spokesman has told U.S. media. Dion, who is married to her manager Rene Angelil, 68, is already mother to nine-year-old Rene-Carles. She's said to be 14 weeks pregnant and will find out the babies' genders next month.

Malawi President Pardons Gay Couple
Malawi’s president, Bingu wa Mutharika, on Saturday pardoned a gay couple who had been sentenced to 14 years in prison after their conviction on charges of unnatural acts and gross indecency.
Their sentence, the maximum penalty allowed, was a consequence of the couple’s holding a traditional engagement ceremony in an insular nation where homosexuality is largely seen as nonexistent or something that must be suppressed.
The case had drawn international attention as another example of the broad antigay sentiment in Africa and was condemned by human rights groups worldwide.
“These boys committed a crime against our culture, our religion and our laws; however, as the head of state I hereby pardon them and therefore ask for their immediate release with no conditions,” Mr. wa Mutharika said after meeting with the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, here in Malawi’s capital. “I have done this on humanitarian grounds but this does not mean that I support this,” he added
