"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons. You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people." President Museveni saidIn December 2013, the Ugandan parliament passed its anti-gay bill going against the President's advice and now seeks his assent. The President had initially advised that the homosexuality situation in the country be studied deeply and carefully before any laws against the practice be enacted.

There were some allegations that you were oppressing him financially. They cited an example of both of you in a restaurant where you made it obvious to everyone present that you were the one paying for what the two of you had eaten?
They were there abi? People can say anything. It doesn't matter. The truth is the truth. I did not discuss my marriage breakup with anybody except what I just told you. I am a celebrity, the other person is not a celebrity, so what do you expect? Any person can just sit down and start writing what you just told me without even knowing me. If Kanye West was dating a non celebrity and not Kim Kardashian, they will say the same thing. So if I wanted to make the reason public, I would have made it myself. But it is not necessary, marriage is between a couple. We did not take our marriage vow on the street. We took it before God. Me, I am not afraid of man. I am also afraid of God. Anything that happened between God and a couple is sacred. There is no need itemizing the reasons. What is that going to do? Is it going to make the other party happy? Is it going to make us happy? So it is between the person (husband), I and God.

| On January 10, Shia LaBeouf announced on Twitter that he was retiring from public life. How he'll be able to keep that up as a still-working actor is unclear, but we think LaBeouf won't be gone from "public life" for long. Just take a look at these other stars who threatened to retire -- and then never did: |

| Justin Bieber, at the ripe age of 19, has claimed he's ready to retire from music -- twice in one week. First he told a Los Angeles radio station that his next album would be his last. Next, he took to Twitter on Christmas Eve to try the joke again before assuring fans he'd be here "FOREVER." After the year he's had, we can't say we blame the guy for wanting to bow out. He still hasn't, of course. |

| Jay Z can be considered one of hip-hop's royals, but he's also the king of the retirement fake-out. The rapper announced in 2003 that "The Black Album" would be his last, but life without a mic just didn't suit him. He was back in the booth within three years. He later told Entertainment Weekly that it was maybe the worst retirement in history. |
