After Nigeria lost to the United States 1–0 in a Group D Women’s World Cup match on Tuesday night, Falcon coach Edwin Okon apparently refused to shake hands with American coach Jill Ellis.

Now he's being dragged by foreign media. I saw one in particular titled 'Meet Nigeria's handshake snubbing, no scouting, all praying embarrassment of a coach" which I found hilarious...though a little disrespectful which was published on Slate. Read after the cut...

When a California woman with cervical cancer underwent a body image scan, doctors noticed bright areas in her lymph nodes, suggesting her cancer had spread. But it was only after surgery to treat the cancer that they realized the real reason for those bright spots: her tattoos.

The 32-year-old woman with four children had recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer. In November 2012, her doctors requested the imaging scan to check to see if the cancer had spread (metastasized) to other parts of her body.

In 2011, 43-year old Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus Jr  signed a three-year deal to be the face of Blast, a fruit-flavoured drink that was part of Pabst's Colt 45 malt beer range.
Under the terms of the agreement he was paid around $250,000 and further instalments of $20,000 for every tenth mention of the brand on social media, at concerts or during TV appearances.

But he believed his contract also entitles him to a portion of the sale price should Pabst sell the business before January 2016, as well as royalties on each case of Blast that was sold.


Paris Hilton, 34, has got a new man and he is Thomas Gross, a 39 year old self-made multimillionaire whose home base is in Zurich, Switzerland. They met at the Cannes Film Festival in May and have been dating ever since. Thomas is best known in the business world for The Perform Group, which he sold for $100m in 2013. He is still a majority owner of the global sports media company. I think this is her best man yet. Older than her and as she rich as she is. More photos after the cut...

While many people are busy hailing Bruce Jenner and calling him a hero for living his 'true self, rapper Snoop Dogg ain't got time for that. He's part of a few who feel - but won't publicly say - that they think Bruce has a mental disorder. The rapper took to instagram today to slam mainstream media who are way more interested in Bruce's story and glorifying it and ignoring inspiring stories like what Akon did recently. He launched a Solar academy (an institution that will train electrical engineers) that will supply electricity to millions of people in Africa and no mainstream media has carried it.

What annoys me about Bruce Jenner is how he's making a public spectacle of himself/herself. What's the docuseries for? Why can't he live his truth quietly? Anyway, see what Snoop wrote after the cut...
