The assets of President Buhari and Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo have finally been disclosed. Below is a press
statement from the presidency.
“Documents submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari to
the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), show that the retired
General has indeed been living an austere and Spartan
lifestyle, contrary to what many might expect of a former
Head of State of Nigeria and one who has held a number of
top government positions, such as governor, Minister of
petroleum and the head of the Petroleum Development
Trust Fund (PTDF).
“The documents submitted to the CCB, which officials say
are still being vetted and will soon be made public, show
that prior to being sworn in on May 29 , President Buhari
had less than N30 million to his name. He also had only one
bank account, with the Union Bank. President Buhari had
no foreign account, no factory and no enterprises. He also
had no registered company and no oil wells.
“The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) who
had been a successful lawyer before his foray into politics
declared a bank balance of about N94 million and 900,000
United States Dollars in his bank accounts.
“President Buhari declared however that he had shares in
Berger Paints, Union Bank and Skye Bank.
“This is entirely unlike what one might expect from a
former head of state of a country like Nigeria.
“The documents also revealed that President Buhari had a
total of five homes, and two mud houses in Daura. He had
two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano, Daura and in
Abuja. One of the mud houses in Daura was inherited from
his late older sister, another from his late father. He
borrowed money from the old Barclays Bank to build two of
his homes.
“President Buhari also has two undeveloped plots of land,
one in Kano and the other in Port Harcourt. He is still
trying to trace the location of the Port Harcourt land.
“In addition to the homes in Daura, he has farms, an
orchard and a ranch. The total number of his holdings in
the farm include 270 heads of cattle, 25 sheep, five
horses, a variety of birds and a number of economic trees.
“The documents also showed that the retired General uses
a number of cars, two of which he bought from his savings
and the others supplied to him by the federal government
in his capacity as former Head of State. The rest were
donated to him by well-wishers after his jeep was
damaged in a Boko Haram bomb attack on his convoy in
July 2014.
“As revealed by the same forms, highlights of the Vice-
President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo’s asset declaration
include his 4-bedroom residence at Victoria Garden City,
Lagos and a 3-bedroom flat at 2 Mosley Road, Ikoyi. The
Vice President also has a 2-bedroom flat at the popular
Redemption Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and a
2-bedroom mortgaged property in Bedford, England.
Aside from these, the Vice President has no other landed
properties on the form.
“Apart from his law firm, known as SimmonsCooper, the
Vice-President also declared shareholding in six private
companies based in Lagos, including Octogenerium Ltd.,
Windsor Grant Ltd., Tarapolsa, Vistorion Ltd., Aviva Ltd.
and MTN Nigeria.
“According to details shown on the form, the Vice-
President has about ninety four million naira, nine
hundred thousand US dollars and nineteen thousand
pounds in Nigerian Banks with the foreign currencies kept
in local domiciliary accounts. His personal vehicles are one
Infinity 4-Wheel Drive SUV, one Mercedes Benz and a
Prado Jeep.
“As soon as the CCB is through with the process, the
documents will be released to the Nigerian public and
people can see for themselves.”

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian: Their Looming Showdown Over Having More Babies
Kanye West may be playing peace
maker with Kim Kardashian while she’s still
pregnant, but it turns out he may be saving
their biggest argument until after she gives
birth, HollywoodLife.com has learned
EXCLUSIVELY.
Kanye West , 38, seems to be living by the phrase “happy
wife, happy life,” as he continues to let Kim Kardashian,
34, win their arguments while she’s still pregnant. But
while things may be all well and good in the Kimye
household for now, there is at least one major showdown
that’s still yet to come, HollywoodLife.com has learned
EXCLUSIVELY. And this time, it has to do with their growing
family!
While he appears to nothing short of a great father to
North , 2, Kanye is has his mind set that he doesn’t want to
have any more children after the birth of their baby
boy. “He’s adamant about not wanting more children
after this,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com
EXCLUSIVELY. But there might be some hope for Kim, who
definitely wants more kids, as “they’re tabling that
discussion until after she gives birth.” That must be one of
the arguments he’s letting her win while pregnant.
The topic of having kids has certainly been a difficult issue
for the couple. Kim recently opened up to C magazine, in
which she explained that she may have to get her uterus
removed after giving birth , as she has a condition called
“placenta accreta,” which proves dangerous for her.
Now, her ultimate fear is that she’ll have to get a
hysterectomy after this high-risk pregnancy, and never
have the chance to be a mother again, which will certainly
make this showdown with Kanye all the more dramatic.
“Kim is doing her best to downplay it but it’s really scary,”
a source previously told HollywoodLife.com . “So far she
feels healthier than she did when she was pregnant with
North, but it’s still something that’s hanging over her
head.”
This is definitely going to be a very difficult discussion for
the couple, and one that could be filled with some even
more difficult decisions. Both Kim and Kanye are already
such great parents, and it would be heartbreaking if Kim
had to go through with the hysterectomy and destroy all
chances of her ever getting pregnant again. We just wish
the couple the best health and happiness as they continue
to plan out the future of their growing family.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers ? Are you glad Kanye
West is tabling this discussion for now ? Vote in our poll

Girls looks Hotter in boys Underwear? Kylie Vs. Kendall Jenner
It’s another fashion face-off between
sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner! The ‘Keeping
Up With The Kardashians’ stars each took to
Instagram to showcase sexy selfies of
themselves posing in men’s underwear. Who
do you think wore their tighty-whities better?
It’s no secret that Kylie Jenner , 17, and Kendall Jenner ,
19, have great bodies that they are proud to show off to
their millions of Instagram followers! We’ve seen them
pose in everything from skimpy bikinis to crop tops galore .
Now, for their latest Instagram showdown, the girls are
modeling two very sexy and totally different men’s
underwear looks. Who do you think borrowed from the boys
the best?
This is a tough one! After Kylie shared a sexy Snapchat of
herself posing in Tyga’s , 25, underwear on June 11,
Kendall decided to put her own model spin on the look on
Sept. 3. In the Instagram pic , Kendall can be seen
showing off a pair high-cut, tighty-whities and a tiny
pink crop top. “Bed all day. Rodeo tonight,” she captioned
the racy photo, which also gave the world a good look at her
perfectly toned abs.
Kylie on the other hand, went for a surprisingly more
covered up look when shared the above pic of her
modeling a tight pair of white boxers from Tyga’s Crisp
collection. Never one to shy away from an overtly sexual
photo, King Kylie completed her look with a push-up bra
underneath a small white tank top, which she purposely
lifts up to show the brand’s name on the waistband of the
shorts (and her abs, of course)!
Kylie and Tyga have come along way since these first
subtle displays of public affection. After making their
official awards show debut together at the MTV VMAs on
Aug 30. the couple took a page out of Kim Kardashian , 34,
and Kanye West’s , 38, book, and unveiled their own sexy
music video together called,“Stimulated.” In the
video, Kylie and Tyga can be seen getting cozy together in
a big mansion, making out and gazing at each other like
the happiest (and most adorable!) couple on Earth. While
it’s not quite as racy as Kimye’s “Bound 2,” it’s certainly a
monumental moment in their now vey public relationship.
Tell us HollywoodLifers , who do you think is the winner of
the boys underwear face-off? Vote and let us know in the

Ariana Grande Teases Fans, Hints At October Announcement: New Music?
Is new music from Ariana Grande
on the way!? The singer teased fans with a
series of tweets on Sept. 2, in which she alluded
that something exciting will be coming for her
in October. Get stoked, Arianators!
Ariana Grande fans may not have to wait much longer for
her new album! The 22-year-old took to Twitter on Sept. 2
to let her followers know that she’s “so excited” for the
month of October, leading fans to speculate that that will
be the month she finally releases Moonlight . See the tweets
here!
Ahead of her concert in Boise, Idaho, the “Break Free”
singer — whose 2014 album you can buy here — went on a
social media spree, and just couldn’t seem to hold back
how anxious she is about the upcoming months. “babies i’m
so excited for the nearby future…” she wrote. “(also
embracing and loving the present)… but i’m really effing
excited for the near future.”
GAHHH, what are you doing to us, Ari?! Luckily, she
expanded a bit. “personally…… I consider October “nearby
future,”” she added. “I am not teasing!!! I promised y’all
I would always tell you as much as I could as soon as I
could only cause I love you like I do.”
Fans have been DYING for a new Ariana album, and she’s
been hinting that it’s closer and closer by teasing snippets
of songs on Snapchat all summer long. Of course, she could
be this excited about something else, but all signs point to
new music, don’t you think!? She’ll certainly have a lot of
material — she’s been through a lot this year, after all!
Ariana split from her boyfriend, Big Sean , in April 2015,
and this summer, she has been linked to her backup
dancer, Ricky Alvarez . The pair have yet to confirm their
relationship, but they’ve been spending a LOT of time
together, and even indulged in some sweet PDA at a VMAs
after party on Aug. 31. Awwww! A break up AND a new
relationship? Lots to write about here!

Kris & Caitlyn Jenner Meet Face-To- Face For The First Time
E! has been teasing us for WEEKS
about this one, and now the actual clip of Kris
and Caitlyn Jenner meeting for the first time is
finally here! The exes meet up at Caitlyn’s
home for a chat, and things go from friendly to
awkward real fast. Watch now!
Kris, 59, and Caitlyn Jenner , 65, aren’t together anymore,
but for the sake of their kids, Kendall and Kylie ,
they’re trying to maintain a friendly relationship — but
that doesn’t mean things don’t get tense. Their very first
meeting was filmed for I Am Cait , and E! has released the
awkward clip ahead of the show’s Sept. 6 episode. Watch it
here!
Before Kris — whose cookbook you can buy here — arrives
at her house, Caitlyn appears very anxious. “I don’t know
if we’ll resolve anything or whatever,” she tells the
camera. “But I just probably should get some things off my
chest and probably her too. We did have a lot of great
times. We’ve moved on, both of us, but I don’t want to
throw the good times away. So for the kids, Kendall and
Kylie, I don’t want tension. I don’t want to put them in a
tough position. This is really very, very difficult.”
Initially, though, Caitlyn is momentarily put at ease, when
she opens the door to a smiling Kris, and the pair even
share an embrace. “Look at you!” the Kardashian
momager gushes. “Nice shoes!” She even brings a
housewarming gift — fresh cookies! But things tense up a
bit as they head into the kitchen to get down to business.
The clip cuts off before we hear any of the exes’ convo,
but from previous previews shown, we know things get
really intense . “You’re sensitive and amazing to all those
new people in your life, but you’re not sensitive and
amazing to the family you left behind,” Kris says, through
tears.
The conversation eventually turns to Caitlyn’s Vanity Fair
article, which Kris slams because the former Olympian said
in it that her family was a ‘distraction.’ “Don’t go there,”
Caitlyn warns her ex. “This is not the issue. I was
defending myself. It was a distraction from who I was. It
doesn’t mean I didn’t love you or the kids.”
We’ll have to wait until I Am Cait airs on Sept. 6 at 8 p.m.
to find out how this all turns out! But, HollywoodLifers , let
us know: What do you think of Caitlyn and Kris’ first
face-to-face meeting? Do you think they’ll end up being
friends?

You need to see this Miley Cyrus again
Another day, another nude
Instagram from Ms. Miley Cyrus. The VMAs
host took to her favorite social media platform
to share more with her fans, this time with no
explanation. What’s up with this one, Miley?
Miley Cyrus , 22, posted another topless photo to Instagram
on September 3, sans caption as she laid looking sleepy in
bed. At this point, fans are used to seeing the Dead Petz
frontwoman bare a little skin, but it’s actually the first
shot she’s shared since slipping some major nip at the
VMAs on August 30. Click through to see the pic!
The only question on fans’ lips since the MTV VMAs has
been “Miley, what’s good?” but maybe they’ll finally have
something else to talk about! Miley shared a somber,
seemingly intimate shot with her fans from her bed, on the
morning of September 3. It was all messy hair, no makeup
and cluttered with laundry — oh yeah, and completely
topless!
Miley’s shared tons and tons of pics since the VMAs, but
none of her usual naked fare. This is the first since the
awards show, where you may remember she managed to
beat the censors and show her fully naked breast live on
air. Quite a feat!
Miley was skirting the boundaries the entire show, wearing
costumes that only barely covered her chest (i.e.
suspenders and nothing else), but this was on another
level. We assumed that after her stunt, she’d be amping
up her nudity game even further, but she toned it down.
Maybe someone got in trouble with the network?

Miley did run into some trouble with the Parents Television
Council for baring her breast on TV. The PTC was livid over
Miley’s nudity, as children as young as 14 could have been
watching the awards show. Their words about Miley were
quite harsh, stating that she relied on her sexuality more
than her talent! Rude!
Is it possible that Miley took these words to heart and
stepped back from going naked for a few days? We really
hope that she didn’t let anyone tear her down, because
she’s cool the way she is.
HollywoodLifers , what do YOU think about Miley baring her
breasts again? Tell us in the comments and take our poll!

Pastor arrested for raping his faithfuls after convincing them that his eggplant contained “milk”
Sobrino Valdeci Picanto, an evangelical pastor from Brazil,
persuaded his followers that he practiced oral sex because
it was the way he preached the word, saying that his ‘milk’
was sacred. And this pastor said his penis was blessed and
that “the Lord had consecrated with divine milk of the Holy
Spirit” and of course, had to go around evangelising.
“He convinced us that only God could come into our
lives through the mouth”, a follower said, “Often,
after worship, Pastor Valdeci asked us to do oral
sex on him until the Holy Spirit came through
ejaculation and delivered funds to the church.”
Sobrino Valdeci Picanto, 59, was arrested in Apore, Goiás,
Brazil, for raping several women attending his church. He
gave as an excuse that his penis had been consecrated with
“divine semen of the Holy Spirit.”
Valdecir came to abuse some elderly, and defends himself
by saying that ‘he had an encounter with Jesus in a brothel
and gave him the mission of spreading the sacred semen
throughout the state, beginning with the faithful Apore
Assembly, of which he is responsible’.
Denise Pinheiro, delegate of the region, said, “Valdecir was
caught red-handed while rubbing his penis in the face of a
local merchant, which promised to make more sales in her
business due to the divine liquid.

Woman tries to sell her virginity for $16k but gets raped instead
Images of the moment a young actress who tried to sell her
virginity for $16,000 makes her desperate escape, after
she was allegedly raped during the encounter has
emerged. The 20-year-old from Azerbaijan, agreed to
meet a man she met online in the city of Perm, in central
Russia.
Mikhail Dnistrian, 28, paid for her ticket, but when she got
there it is alleged that the man she went to see said he
had changed his mind, and tried to force her to work as a
prostitute. She claims when she refused he beat her up and
forced her to pose for erotic pictures before raping her at
his flat.
She only managed to escape his clutches, it is claimed, by
making a rope with sheets to let herself down from the
third floor, but fell in the process, fracturing her hip.
Images of her alleged escape were taken by an eye-
witness as the girl tried to clamber down the makeshift
rope.
Police have arrested Dnistrian.
The woman told police she was on her own as both of her
parents had died and she wanted to collect money to
develop her acting career.
Dnistrian's girlfriend, who asked not to be named,
admitted she was stunned after learning about the
accusations, and claimed he had only ever been kind and
gentle with her.
The court in Perm has said there are no plans for pursuing
a case against her for prostitution or trying to sell her
virginity and they are treating her as a victim.

$15bn Oil Deal: Why Indian High Commissioner Is After Me
Nigeria’s former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-
Madueke, on Wednesday, chided the Indian High
Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Ajjampur Ghanashyam, over
his allegations that as former minister, Alison-Madueke
‘sat’ on a $15 billion oil deal.
Alison-Madueke who spoke through her lawyers, Messers
Chike Amobi and Co., dismissed the allegations, describing it
as spurious, unfounded and libelous.
Diezani Alison-Madueke
According to her, the High commissioner, Mr. Ghanashyam’s
acrimony towards her is due to the refusal of the Federal
Government of Nigeria to allow the Indian company, Oil and
Gas Commission Videsh Limited (OVL), default on its
contractual obligation to provide a $6 billion investment,
(around RS36, 600 crore) in an 180,000 barrels (bpd)
Greenfield refinery and 2,000 megawatt power plant or
railway line from East to West of Nigeria.
In a release made to journalists in Abuja on behalf of the
former minister, she said the publication by Mr. Ajjampur
R. Ghanashyam to the effect that she delayed the
approval of oil concession to twin Indian companies, Oil and
Gas Commission Videsh Limited (OVL) and Mittal Energy
International JV, OMEL (MITTAL) in 2006, after receiving a
$25,000,000.00 signature bonus, is spurious, false and
lacking in substance.
Madueke clarified that she was not the Minister of
Petroleum Resources in 2006 when the said Indian
companies entered into contractual agreement with the
Federal Government and as such wouldn’t have received
any signature bonus either as citizen or minister of the
Federal Republic.
She also said she had no personal reason to sit on the
contract just as she wondered why the High Commissioner
would “choose to malign and attack her rather than
commend her acting dispassionately in recommending for
refund of the said signature bonus to the Indians when the
matter was brought to her attention at the twilight of her
tenure as minister.”
“When the issue of the request for refund, made by OVL,
was re-presented to me in May 2015, I immediately
prepared and dispatched a letter dated 13th May, 2015,
Ref #: PI.LM/3900/S.693/Vol.1/78b, to former President,
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR), recommending for the
refund of the said signature bonus in compliance with the
relevant and extant laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
which requires such approvals to be granted by the
President, and implemented by the Federal Ministry of
Finance.”
Mrs. Madueke further explained that the Federal
Government voided the contract with OVL because the
company wanted the Federal Government of Nigeria to
waive the commitments they made during the bidding
process which included investing $6 billion (around RS
36,600 crore) in an 180,000 barrels per day (bpd)
greenfield refinery, a 2000 megawatt power plant or a
railway line from East to West of Nigeria, all of which were
considered in granting the concession in the first place.
On the allegation that the Indian High Commission to
Nigeria suggested that contrary to global best practices in
the industry, Mrs. Alison-Madueke used intermediaries to
receive payment for crude oil transactions with India,
clearly imputing a fraudulent ill-feeling to the former
minister’s operation, she explained that the contract in
question was a government to government crude oil sales
transaction with established procedures which predates her
tenure as minister.
She also said that the established procedure stipulates that
the buying country, in this case India, selects and presents
a local company as its agent to transact on its behalf as it
is never the responsibility of selling country to select or
nominate a company for the buying country.
She maintained that Nigeria never dictated nor suggested
any intermediary or marketing company for India for the
purposes of the said transaction.
“Apparently, the Indian High Commission to Nigerian
mischievously obfuscated these facts to malign the former
Nigerian Petroleum Minister whilst not disclosing that it was
a government to government crude sales transaction,” the
statement said.
The former Minister disclosed that what Mr. Ajjampur R.
Ghanashyam neglected to inform Nigerians is that the oil
concession was not granted to Oil and Gas Commission
Videsh Limited (OVL) and Mittal Energy International JV,
OMEL (MITTAL) due to inability of their subsidiary EMO
Exploration and Production to meet cash obligation.
According to the lawyers acting on behalf of the minister,
“Mr. Ajjampur R. Ghanashyam’s acrimony towards our
client is due to the refusal of the Federal Government of
Nigeria to allow OVL default on its contractual obligation to
Nigeria in the case of:
A $ 6 billion investment, (around RS 36, 600 crore) in an
180,000 barrels (bpd) Greenfield refinery.
2,000 megawatt power plant or railway line from East to
West of Nigeria.”
Mrs. Alison-Madueke said as a diplomat, the Indian High
Commissioner who should foster bilateral and multilateral
relations between his country and Nigeria, belittled “such a
lofty position by officiously spreading false and misleading
information calculated to malign Nigerian public officials ,
a conduct unbecoming of a foreign diplomat.
Indian-High-Commissioner-Ajjampur-Ghanashyam-
when-he-paid-a-courtesy-call-on-President-
Muhammadu-Buhari-recently
“We believe the conduct of Mr. Ajjampur R. Ghanashyam is
aimed at damaging our client’s reputation for her
insistence on protecting the interests of the people of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, and for not acceding to
inappropriate requests of his country to be relieved of its
contractual obligations to Nigeria.
“Based on the falsity and unfounded allegations against
our client, we firmly but humbly request an unequivocal
apology and a complete retraction of the libelous
statements from Mr. Ajjampur R. Ghanashyam against our
client.”
Mrs. Madueke advised Mr. Ajjampur R. Ghanashyam to
govern his future conduct accordingly to prevent the
possibility of reoccurrence of any other events that could
potentially diminish the exalted office of a diplomat he
represents.
Buhari To Give Primary School Pupils Free Meals. by
Vice- President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo said the President
Muhammadu Buhari’s administration would soon
commence giving primary school children free meals.
The vice president said the free feeding scheme was a
core project of the Federal Government that would in
turn yield about 1.14 million jobs and increase in food
production. Osinbajo said this at the 45th Annual
Accountants Conference in Abuja.
He said the government would be investing more in the
people, education and job creation.
Speaking on the topic “Repositioning Nigeria for
Sustainable Development: From Rhetoric to
Performance,” Osinbajo said that the multiplier
effects of the introduction of the school feeding
scheme would help to create 1.14 million new jobs;
increase food production by up to 530,000 metric
tonnes per annum, as well as attract fresh
investments up to N980bn.
He said, “One of the most important interventions
required in the education sector is capacity building to
improve teacher quality.
“This programme is intended to drive teachers’
capacity development; boost basic education; attract
talents to the teaching profession. Better educated
population increases economic potential for
productivity.”
“The All Progressives Congress has made a commitment
to provide one-meal-a-day for all
primary school students; that would create jobs in
agriculture, including poultry, catering and delivery
services.”
The vice president decried the high rate of
employment in the country in spite of the fact that
Nigeria had recorded high oil prices, Gross Domestic
Product and foreign reserves during the previous
administrations.
This, according to him, has made it clear that such
figures, including a rise in revenue by itself, do not
create jobs or significantly reduce poverty level in the
country.
“So, why are most (of our people) poor despite rising
revenues and GDP growth? Our main revenue earners,
the extractive oil and gas economy, do not by
themselves create many jobs. Such is the irony of a
top-down economic model; when the major revenue
earner is extractive and the value chain is poorly
developed,” he argued.
Osinbajo also said there was need for the government
to improve the power sector and have a one-stop shop
for approvals of investments.
Other areas of focus in the Buhari economic plan, as
espoused by his deputy, are innovation and fighting
piracy; diversification of the economy in the areas of
agriculture to achieve self-sufficiency in rice and
wheat (staples) production; manufacturing;
entertainment and technology.
On the power sector, he noted that “despite the
challenges, there have been measurable
improvements over the past three months (June to
August 2015).”
He said, for instance, there had been a 26 per cent

The Lille goalkeeper’s parent has passed away and it is
the reason for his opting out of the Nigeria game against
the Taifa Stars
Vincent Enyeama’s mother has passed away it has
emerged, hours after Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh told
media that the goalkeeper opted out of the Super Eagles
ahead of their trip to Tanzania without an excuse.
The 101-capped Enyeama posted a message on his

4-Year-Old Girl Stolen From A Church In Lagos (Photos)
The police have begun a manhunt for unidentified
persons who sneaked into a church early Wednesday
and stole a 4-year old girl.
The incident happened at Ejigbo, a bustling suburb of
Lagos State, western Nigeria.
The victim identified as Tope Ogundeyi, was stolen at
the Cherubim and Seraphim church located at
Ilufunmi street, Ejigbo.
According to Olumide Ogundeyi, the baby’s father, he
came to the church for deliverance prayers at the
church.
He said that after the prayers, they slept inside the
church auditorium as directed by the prophet.
What surprised many residents was how those who
abducted the girl entered the church compound
without being noticed by the residents and the church
members that slept there.
The bemused Ogundeyi said the doors and windows of
the church auditorium were locked after their
midnight prayers before they slept.
He said when he woke up in the morning around 5:00
am, he did not see Tope where she was lying with two
other of his children and did not see his three
handsets where he kept them.
He said he raised the alarm which attracted other
church members and they immediately started
searching for Tope but did not find her.
Ogundeyi said that the matter has been reported at
the Ejigbo Police division and the Oba of Ejigbo, Oba
Moruf Ojoola, has equally been informed about it.
He lamented that the disappearance of Tope has
worsened the predicament of the family.
He revealed that they reside in Ogun State from
where they came to the church for prayers.
“I don’t know what to do now except believing in God
that Tope will still be found,” Ogundeyi lamented.
When our reporter visited Imakiyo and Ejigbo police
division where the matter was reported, police
sources confirmed the development.
However, the DPO was not around to comment on the
matter.
Police sources said they have since commenced
investigation to arrest the suspects.
When our reporter visited the church, the members
who were in a mournful mood confirmed the
incident.
Attempt to speak with the owner of the church,
Prophet Michael Balogun, failed as our reporter was
told that he was not around.
Kim Kardashian’s Recent Trip An Escape From Kanye West After Fight Over Cheating?
Say what?! While Kim Kardashian
seemed to just be spending time with her family
during their recent trip to St. Barts, it turns out
she may have actually gone to escape Kanye
West after their massive fight about his alleged
cheating, a new report claims. Oh no!
Is there trouble in paradise between Kim Kardashian , 34,
and Kanye West , 38? While it appeared the entire
Kardashian clan was in tow for the family’s recent
getaway to St. Barts , we couldn’t help but notice that
Kanye was noticeably absent from the family fun. The
reason? Kim was allegedly infuriated with him after she
caught him texting his ex , so she used the vacation as a
way to escape after their massive fight, a new report
claims! Could this be the end of Kim and Kanye as we know
it?
All may not be well in the Kimye household, according to a
brand new report in the Sept. 14 issue of In
Touch magazine. After Kim reportedly caught Kanye
texting one of his exes, the two had a blow-out fight that
escalated until Kanye finally stormed out, leaving Kim
and North to escape to St. Barts by themselves. “Every time
Kanye tried to defend himself, Kim grew angrier and more
vitriolic, until finally he just stormed out, leaving Kim in
tears,” an insider told the publication. “Kim felt like she’d
be dumped, and that she and Kanye had split for good.”
Yikes! Kanye reportedly insisted that “his ex had simply
asked for help with a project she was working on” when she
contacted him, the source tells In Touch , but Kim
reportedly said “the messages were bordering on
flirtatious” before completely losing it.

Fantasy Deluxe Edition On Amazon
Oh no! This does not look good for the “Bound 2” pair. The
couple looked as if they were stronger than ever at the MTV
VMAs on Aug. 30. A source even
told HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Kim any Kanye
shared a PDA-filled dinner at Craig’s in West Hollywood
after Kanye’s memorable moment on stage, where he told
her that she was “the best thing that ever happened.”
While that hardly sounds like a couple on their last legs,
the In Touch source also stated that before their VMAs
love-fest, Kim and Kanye were at each other’s throats
over the cheating allegations. “It hurt Kim that he kept
[the texts] a secret from her,” the insider told In Touch ,
“which made her even more suspicious.”
Tell us HollywoodLifers — What do you think about Kim
reportedly accusing Kanye of cheating on her with an
ex? Do you think Kanye would two-time Kim or is he
still ride or die for her?

Justin Bieber Sings Epic Country Version Of ‘Where Are U Now’
Unexpected and amazing are two
words two describe Justin Bieber’s impromptu
country performance of ‘Where Are U Now,’
which he sang on ‘The Tonight Show’ on Sept.
2. Watch the video here, and prepare to fall in
love with the Biebs all over again!
Well, if the whole electro-pop music thing doesn’t work out
for Justin Bieber , 21, he has a bright future in country
music! Before taking the stage to perform his new song
“What Do You Mean?” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy
Fallon , Justin sang an incredible country version of his
hit “Where Are U Now.” Get ready for Bieber like you’ve
never heard him before!
Is Justin America’s next country crooner? The singer was
talking to Jimmy about how Skrillex and Diplo turned a
basic vocal note of his into the catchy riff for “Where Are
U Now.” So basically, Justin can make anything happen!
That’s when he shows off his serious country skills singing a
verse from the VMA-nominated song with a little twang to
it! He changed the inflection of his vocals while over-
enunciating the lyrics — and it totally worked in his favor.
“Who’s your favorite country singer?”

Kris Jenner Shows Off Her Freaky Fat Lip — Wild Pic
Ouch! Kris Jenner had to cancel a
recent TV appearance for having a fat lip, and
now there’s a picture to prove that her excuse
wasn’t a big fat lie! Click inside to see the pic of
her blown up lip.
Poor Kris Jenner ! The 59-year-old was supposed to
appear on Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise on Aug.
31, but cancelled her stint due to complications with her
lip. Well, turns out the Kardashian momager wasn’t
bluffing, because her lip was HUGE. See the pic here and
find out what caused the swelling!
Kylie Jenner’s lips can’t even compare to this! Kris’ entire
bottom lip was completely swollen and looked incredibly
painful too. ( Click HERE to see the pic! ) Kris sent the photo
to Bachelor in Paradise producers when canceling her
scheduled appearance, according to TMZ . So what exactly
was it that caused Kris’ lip to blow up? The outlet reports
that it was most likely due to a spider bite! So scary. She
was prescribed four different medications from her doctor
to help the swelling, and also had an exterminator spray
her room.
Luckily, Kris seems to be 100 percent fine now. She had
dinner on Sept. 1 at Nobu in Los Angeles and looked
completely back to normal. She told friends and family it
took 18 hours for the swelling to go down. We’re just glad it
wasn’t more serious!
This isn’t the first time Kris has experienced a fat lip. The
reality star actually sparked rumors that she had lip
fillers after her top lip blew up dramatically on Keeping Up
With The Kardashians in 2012. In the episode, however, it
was revealed that she suffered a horrible food allergy
during a family vacation in the Dominican Republic. We’re
not sure which fat lip was worse!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers ? Do you think Kris’ lip
swelled up from a spider bite? Tell us below!

Trailer falls off bridge, kills three in Lagos
No fewer than three people were killed on Wednesday after
a container on a 40-feet trailer fell off the Ojuelegba
Bridge onto the road below.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the container, which was not
latched to the trailer, crushed two private vehicles which
were in motion.
The vehicles, a white Toyota and a black jeep, were
reportedly mangled under the weight of the container.
A crowd of residents and motorists was said to have
converged on the scene as there was apprehension on the
number of casualties involved in the incident.
The situation was said to have caused traffic snarl in the
area as traffic officials had a tough time controlling the
number of people trooping the scene and redirecting the
traffic.
The driver of the trailer reportedly attempted to escape
the scene.
He was, however, apprehended by the angry mob.
A witness, who identified himself as Sir J, said the accident
happened around 4.50pm.
He said, “It happened around 4.50pm, as we were all in the
park doing our businesses.
“The container on the 40-feet trailer suddenly fell off the
bridge and crushed two private cars.
“The driver of the trailer wanted to flee, but we
apprehended him. There is chaos everywhere.”
A check on social media by our correspondent showed the
accident was already trending, as people called on
government officials to intervene.
A resident with the Twitter handle@ lvck_skinhead, wrote,
“I just started running, couldn’t even look back; so many
injured and dead. I have never been this scared in my
life.”
Another resident, Olaseni Oladejo, said one of the cars was
mobile when the container fell.
The resident, who wrote on Twitter, said, “The truck
container fell on a moving car killing the driver and one
passenger.”
The General Manager of the Lagos State Emergency
Management Agency, Michael Akindele, said three persons
died in the incident.
He said, “We are already on the ground and there is a lot
of crowd around here.
“Three persons were killed. Rescue operation is still
ongoing.”
The spokesperson for the National Emergency Management
Agency, South West zone, Ibrahim Farinloye, said the
occupier of the second car escaped unhurt.
He said, “It is one jeep that is under the container. And I
was told just one person is inside, but we have yet to
ascertain whether it is a man or a woman.
“Rescue officials from the state and federal agencies are
on the ground.”
ICPC probes Fashola, Amaechi, Akpabio, others
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related
offences Commission has set up a task force to probe eight
former governors.
A top operative of the commission, who confided in our
correspondent on Wednesday, said that the task force was
set up following petitions written against the former
governors.
It was learnt that top operatives of the commission working
in the task force had been dispatched to the states to carry
out the probe of the affected former governors.
A top operative of the commission said that the former
governors were Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State;
Chief Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers, Alhaji Ibrahim Shema of
Katsina and Sullivan Chime of Enugu State.
The source said that the other four were on the waiting list.
The former governors on the waiting list, according to the
source are, Mr. Raji Fashola of Lagos State, Godswiil
Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State, Martin Elechi of Ebonyi State
and Alhaji Sule Lamido of Jigawa State.
The source said that the ICPC was not considering political
parties or association in its response to allegations of
corruption made against the affected personalities in the
petition.
The source said, “It is true that we are going after eight
former governors. The investigation against four of the
former governors of Rivers, Katsina, Kano and Enugu has
commenced.
“However, the commission has listed four other former
governors who are on the waiting list because of petitions
against them. They are the immediate past governors of
Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi and Jigawa States.
“A Special Task Force was set up by the Chairman of the
commission last week to coordinate the investigation in the
states. So we are reopening the petitions through the
Chairman of the Special Task Force.”
The probe is coming on the heels of a recent move by the
ICPC to move 47 crack detectives to the states and the
zones to strengthen them in the fight against graft in the
society.
The Resident Consultant, Media and Events, of the ICPC,
Mr. Folu Olamiti, refused to comment on the story when
contacted.
None of the ex-governors was available for comment on the
probe.
The change we promised will soon come to fruition - Buhari tells Nigerian students (photos)
President Buhari says the change he promised during his
campaigns will soon come to fruition. Buhari said this when
the members of the National Association of Nigerian
Students NANS marched to the Presidential Villa to pledge
their full support for his anti-corruption campaign earlier
today. President Buhari spoke to them through his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina ..
"Everything you have asked for are the things that
will make for a good country, and what we are
after is a good country, a country where our youths
can have a future and a hope. We are totally
committed to building a country where our youths
can realize their full potential. You can be assured
that your welfare and well-being are topmost in our
minds and very soon you will see the things we have
promised come to fruition. During the campaigns,
change was our slogan, but today it is no longer a
mere slogan, it is now a reality and we will see it in
every facet of our lives. The youth will feel it, the
adults will feel it and old people will feel it and we
will get the country of our dreams,’’ the president,
who was represented by his Special Adviser (Media
& Publicity), Femi Adesina, said.
Man confesses to raping his daughter only 6 times
On Wednesday, 34-year-old factory worker, Mohammed
Ahmed confessed that he has raped his daughter ONLY 6
times. (Only??)
Ahmed, who was paraded by officials of the Osun State
Command of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps said
he started having sex with his 14-year-old daughter in
April, 2015.
Ahmed said:
“I have two wives. The first had left and she gave
birth to three children. The second wife gave birth
to two children before she died.
“This one is the first child of my first wife. I don’t
know what came over me in April when I started
having sex with my daughter. I had sex with her
only six times since April 2015.”
The Head, Public Relations and Protocol Unit of the NSCDC,
Mr. Wale Folarin, said the command was alerted to the
man’s act by one of his neighbours.
Folarin said:
“The incident was reported to us by a neighbour,
who said he used to hear the cry of the girl every
night. When confronted, the girl admitted that her
father had been raping her.”

Nigerian arrested with N1bn cash in Niger
The police in neighbouring Niger Republic arrested a
Nigerian carrying 4.6m Euros (N1.05bn) in cash at the Diori
Hamani Airport in Niamey, the capital of Niger, on his way
to Dubai. However, the Nigerien authorities have refused to
send the seized funds back to Nigerian authorities.
The Nigerien police said they suspected that the man was
fleeing with the money in order to avoid being caught by
the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, who
has been prosecuting an anti-corruption campaign since
assumption of office on May 29.
They also expressed worry that there has been a rise in the
number of Nigerians transferring huge sums of money in
cash through neighbouring countries.
The police in Niger are already working on the suspicion
that the money traffickers have accomplices within the
country.
Interestingly the authorities in Nigeria on Wednesday
claimed ignorance of the money seizure in the neighbouring
country though the Customs officers in Niger were already
kicking against repatriating the cash to Nigeria.
A media report in Niger on Saturday said the National
Union of Customs Officers at a press briefing “denounced
the request of the Nigerian authorities” to return the
seized money.
The Customs official said there had been several similar
seizures in Niamey from people trafficking money from
Nigeria, putting the amount that had been so seized in
several billions of naira.
They said the seized money had been mainly in dollars,
euros and pounds sterling, asking the Niger authorities to
allow the Customs officials to do their job without
interference.
When contacted, the Senior Special Adviser to the President
on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said he could
not speak on the development because his brief was to
speak for the President.
He therefore referred one of our correspondents to the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“I speak for the President. On this kind of issues, I
will advice that you speak with the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs,” he said.
At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the officials denied
knowledge of the seizure in Niger Republic. The ministry’s
spokesperson, Ogbole Ahmedu-Ode, said the ministry had
not received official communication on the arrest of any
Nigerian.
“I am hearing about this incident for the first time
from you, we have not received any communication
on the matter from any quarters,” he said over the
telephone.
The spokesman for the Nigerian Customs Service, Mr Wale
Adeniyi could not be reached for comments.
But a senior official of the Service in confidence said that
the issue had yet to be brought to the attention of the
agency.
The official said since the matter was a diplomatic issue,
there were protocols that must be adhered to before the
customs could step in.
The official said:
“As we speak now, the matter hasn’t been drawn to
our attention. This is a diplomatic matter that has
to be treated with caution in order to avoid
diplomatic row between both countries.
“The identity of the person in question has not been
established and it is the Nigerian embassy in Niger
that would verify that.
“After that is done, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
will be notified before other security agencies would
be invited on the matter.
“So, it is not something that the Customs will jump
into and start investigating because the Customs in
Niger don’t report directly to us in Nigeria.”

6 year old boy dies trying to save his 12 year old sister from a rapist
A six-year-old boy bravely gave his life to save his older
sister from a twisted sex attacker who broke into their
home.
Dominick Andujar heard his sister Amber's cries for help
and raced to her aid allowing her to wriggle free but the
attacker then turned on him and he paid with his life.
Both children had their throats slashed by the attacker but
only Amber survived, running out into the street with blood
pouring from her neck to raise the alarm.
Now their attacker Osvaldo Rivera, who lived near the
family in Camden, New Jersey, has been jailed for 110
years.
After Dominick’s death, the family were given a diary
Dominick had written in from his nursery teacher.
It read: “I am a superhero. I save people.”
The attack happened in September 2012, when Dominick
was just days away from starting school.
Mum Debbie, who was separated from the children's
father, had recently had an operation and she was in
hospital recovering so Amber and Dominick were at home in
care of one of their two older sisters.
It was Amber's 12th birthday and she had fallen asleep on
the sofa in the early hours when Riveria, 34, broke in.
Seeing Amber he grabbed a knife from the kitchen and
held it to her throat as he sexually assaulted her.
The terrified girl screamed for help and her desperate
cries woke Dominick.
He raced in to the lounge and when he saw Rivera, he
rushed forward to save his sister grappling with her
attacker but unable to stop him slitting Amber’s throat.
As Dominick fought with Rivera, Amber managed to struggle
free - her throat had been sliced so deeply that her vocal
cords were exposed.
Blood gushing from her wound, she staggered out of the
house and onto the streets for help before collapsing in a
pool of blood.
When police arrived at the home, they found Dominick’s
body.
Rivera had slashed his throat and fled the scene.
Investigators found defence wounds on Dominick’s small
hands from where he’d battled to save her.
Their older siblings were deeply shocked but unharmed.
Mum Debbie was distraught as the loss of her youngest
child, saying: “He gave his life for his family.”
Amber underwent two operations to repair her sliced
oesophagus and trachea but incredibly, she survived and
after a month in hospital, she was discharged.
Despite being deeply traumatised, she was able to help the
police and had recognised her attacker as he used to give
kids haircuts in the neighbourhood.
She knew his nick-name sounded like ‘Poppy’ and police
discovered it was ‘Popeye’ and they were able to track him
down to a flat.
They found Rivera hiding behind an upturned mattress
and nearby his blood stained trainers that matched
footprints at the crime scene.
He asked officers: “How bad did I hurt them?”
He asked officers. He was charged and held on a $5million
bail.
At his trial last year Amber appeared in court with the
scars of her attack visible on her neck and described how
he held a knife to her throat, put his hand over her mouth
and assaulted her.
She tearfully described her brother’s heroic actions that
cost him his life on the "most terrifying day of my life".
The jury found Rivera guilty of 11 counts including
murder, attempted murder and aggravated sexual
assault.
He was sentenced to 110 years in prison. He won’t be
eligible for parole for 91 years.
Outside of court in a family statement Dominick's sister
said: “Grown men wouldn’t do what Dominick did that day.
He’s our soldier and will forever be in our hearts until the
day we die.”

If we learned anything from Kanye’s epic VMA speech
(which, by the way, is so much better with the
Seinfeld theme song in the background ) it’s that he wants
to be influential, so he’s been keeping tabs on the media.
“Kanye personally checks his approval ratings and the
public’s opinion of himself — and he does that by Goggling
his name to see how many stories have been written about
him on that particular day,” our insider continues. “His
benchmark is 200 stories. If there are fewer than that, it’s
not a good day for him. Kanye‘s obsessed with running for
office and he’s preparing for it right now as we speak.”
Watch out world! HollywoodLife.com previously told you
that Yeezy is “dead” serious about running for President
— even if Twitter is making a big joke out of it by coming
up with unlikely running mates for him!

Osun State Assembly assures workers that outstanding salaries will be paid soon
Osun State House of Assembly has assured its workers that
the relief package given to the state would be judiciously
administered, saying that they would soon have their
outstanding salaries paid, while the work-in-progress of
public infrastructure would be attended to.
It also vowed to drive the anti-corruption crusade with its
oversight functions, promising to break bureaucratic
difficulties, which are capable of dragging development at
a slow pace.
The speaker, Hon. Najeem Salaam, in a statement by his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Goke Butikakuro, stressed that
the parliament under his watch was more than ready to
bring all ministries, departments and agencies to account
on how budgetary funds appropriated to them were
managed with a view to getting them to be on their toes
and be accountable to the public.
Salaam reiterated that the state parliament has taken the
first leg of its anti-corruption crusade through the passage
of the procurement bill into law, stating that the law when
signed by Governor Rauf Aregbesola would drive the
processes of contract award, purchases of the government

Rihanna’s ’80s Inspired Pink Mini Dress At Fragrance Unveiling
ihanna headed
to NYC for the unveiling of
her new fragrance, and she
looked like a real-life Barbie
doll! She looked so fabulous
in a little pink mini dress,
do you agree?
Rihanna, 27, headed to Macy’s
Downtown in Brooklyn, NY on
August 31, for the unveiling of her
new fragrance, RiRi by Rihanna .
We are loving her ’80s vibe outfit
for the event — are you?
Rihanna’s campaign for her new fragrance channels
Marilyn Monroe in every way possible. The photo is so
glamorous, as she is featured in a big, fluffy pink silk
dress with gloves , pearls , and dangly earrings.
She followed up with that glam vibe, to the unveiling, when
she killed it in a Vivienne Westwood Red Label Fall 2015
pink mini off-the-shoulder dress . The dress features
huge puff sleeves and is covered in metallic
embellishments. She literally looked like a Barbie doll.
She paired the dress with bubble gum pink pointy-toed
Christian Louboutins and of course, she drenched herself
in jewels, layering on the diamond necklaces , ruby rings,
Sabine G. earrings and rings, and anklets. When it comes
to RiRi, diamonds really are a girl’s best friend. She is
always wearing a ton of baubles, it reminds us of when we
used to play Pretty Pretty Princess .
Ri completed her ’80s look with a super curly ponytail which
rested on the top of her head.
What do you guys think of Rihanna’s look? Do you love her
retro vibe?

Chris Brown & Nia Guzman Gearing Up For Intense Custody Court Battle In 2 Weeks
This is not good. Chris Brown is
getting ready to take down the mother of his
daughter, Nia Guzman, in court, and he is
ready to get dirty. In fact, Chris plans to use
Nia’s current boyfriend against her to get
custody of their daughter, Royalty!
Chris Brown , 26, will reportedly face Nia Guzman, 32, in
court in two weeks to dispute the custody of their 1-year-
old daughter, Royalty . While Nia wants full custody of
Royalty with Chris only allowed supervised visitation, Chris
wants joint custody and he has a strategy in place to get
it: throwing Nia’s felon boyfriend , King Ba , right back in
her face!
Nia plans to protest Chris’ request for joint custody on
claims that he is a “bad guy,” who hang out with “thugs”
and smokes weed, according to TMZ . However, her claims
may not hold proverbial water when Chris describes to the
court who Nia is currently dating and rumored to be living
with.
“The allegations that have been made against Nia Guzman
are completely false,” Domenick Nati , Nia’s rep tells
HollywoodLife.com. “Nia has not been in a dating
relationship with Ba for several months and she has no
criminal record and has never took park in any criminal
activity with Ba. Also, Nia is not trying to obtain any fame
or additional money from Chris Brown other than the child
support that is expected for the raising of their child and
she asks that the press and general pubic would stop
hurling false accusations at her and her daughter.”
King Ba, who is listed as the father on Royalty’s birth
certificate, is currently wanted by the authorities in Texas,
after he allegedly committed forgery. In fact, stakes are
so high for Ba’s identification, that there is actually a
$5,000 reward in place.
Chris, meanwhile, is terrified for Royalty’s safety , nervous
that the cops may burst into the home Ba shares with Nia.
In fact, a source revealed to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY
that Chris “fears the police are going to show up at Nia’s
house, guns drawn and busting down her door with Royalty
inside the house. He can’t sleep thinking about the myriad
of dangerous outcomes that can happen with Royalty being
present.”
It makes sense, then, that Chris won’t be so quick to hand
over sole custody to Nia.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers ? Should Chris and Nia
split custody of Royalty, or should Chris just have visitation
and nothing else?

Miley Cyrus Flashes Nipples In New NSFW ‘Interview’ Magazine Spread
Miley Cyrus is at it again and this
time she has posed for her raunchiest photo
shoot yet! In the ‘Interview’ mag spread she is
seen topless and even masturbating during a
sexting FaceTime call!
Miley Cyrus ‘ latest photo shoot is NSFW guys! The 22-year-
old is one of eight celebs handpicked to grace one of the
coveted September Interview covers but hers is by far the
raciest. In the pics Miley is seen wearing a thong, licking
the floor, pleasuring herself and more. It comes right on
the heels of hosting the MTV VMAs in which she came under
fire for flashing her nipple during the show! But when you
see these pics we promise you, you’ll never be the same.
It’s safe to say that Madonna, Victoria Beckham , Kim
Kardashian West , Jennifer Lopez , Selena Gomez , Zayn
Malik , and Mert Alas‘ Interview spreads are nothing like
Miley’s. Miley is photographed in a series of sexual poses,
the one that is the most shocking is her FaceTime session
with photographer Mert. We can’t believe she’s pleasuring
herself but then again, she’s just being Miley! Click here to
see the scandalous pics!
Miley is no stranger to being topless. She has been very
vocal about her support of the Free The Nipple campaign
and she is always trying to push the limits of what she can
post on social media. Even her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus , said
that he supports his daughter’s decision to explore her
sexuality. “We’ve always been very open-minded,” he told
E!. “Listen, it’s all about love and light. Forget the
negativity and the haters. She’s rocking and rolling and
having a good time. What the world needs is love. There’s
too much hate … The world needs positive influences.”
HollywoodLifers , what do you think of Miley’s raunchy
Interview pics?

Kim Kardashian’s Topless ‘Interview’ Magazine Cover: Sexy FaceTime Selfie
We just can’t seem to escape
Kim Kardashian’s cleavage!
The pregnant reality star
posed topless, yet again, for
a magazine cover as she is
one of eight cover stars for
the September issue of
‘Interview’ magazine, which
features a slew of our
favorite stars, taking selfies,
on their very own covers.
Are you loving Kim’s
topless cover?
Another day, another topless shot of Kim Kardashian ! The
hot mama, 34, (who is currently expecting baby number
two), just can’t seem to keep her assets concealed. Hey, if
you’ve got it, flaunt it — and flaunting it is exactly what
Kim did on the cover of the magazine’s September issue,
where she poses in a familiar Kim pout, all while
FaceTiming with famed photog Mert Alas . The September
issue of Interview magazine, (the #ME issue), celebrates
the power of social media and features eight celeb self-
portraits, each on their very own covers — and Kim’s
definitely one of the sexiest!
“We invited each subject to use this opportunity to create
something powerful and personal: the utmost expression of
themselves,” Editor-in-Chief Keith Pollock said of the
covers. The submissions range from large-scale productions
with world-renowned photographers, to the raw, casual,
and sometimes erotic selfies that flood our social media
feeds everyday. Each image is accompanied by a self-
written caption. “We definitely encouraged them to push
the limits,” Pollock added, “but we weren’t interested in
steering them in any way. Our aim was to allow them to
create an image that reflects the way the subjects see
themselves. And the way they want to be seen.”
Aside from Kim’s sultry features, her ample cleavage
totally stole the spotlight on the cover, which had a more
natural, relaxed vibe — in fact, this is what we imagine
FaceTiming with the selfie queen is really like in real life.
She has some of the breast, I mean, best, assets in
Hollywood — and she obviously isn’t afraid to show them
off!
Along with Kim, Miley Cyrus , Selena Gomez , Zayn Malik ,
Madonna, Victoria Beckham , Jennifer Lopez and Mert Alas
are all featured on their very own, close-up covers, as the
September issue of the magazine is dubbed the #ME issue
— and we couldn’t think of a better group of social media
superstars to show off their favorite selfies. The magazine
highlights a total of 150 social media personalities.
While Kim posing topless is totally sexy, the ever
controversial Miley couldn’t be outdone — in fact, she even
freed her nipple for her cover. Zayn is also topless as he
posed for a bed selfie for the shoot. Be sure to check out
the September issue of Interview for more from these
social media superstars.
