Fanboys worldwide are agog with anticipation for the upcoming release of Fox's R-rated 'anti-superhero' movie Deadpool - it got the most rousing reception of any title previewed at Comic Con last year - but China's censors have taken a far less enthusiastic view of the film.

Image
David Adeleke, the 23-year-old pop artiste popularly known as Davido has rebuffed claims by his estranged lover, Sophia Momodu on the circumstances surrounding the removal of their daughter, Imade, from Sophia’s custody. In a lengthy narrative issued last night, Adeleke alleged that Sophia had been in weekly contact with Imade up till last week and claimed that hospital authorities had sought to transfer the baby to officials of the Lagos State Children Welfare Authority on account of alleged drug use by Sophia.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Legs Are Out of Control

Image
OK, it pretty much goes without saying that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a muscular guy. His neck is the width of a tree trunk, and his arms, well let's just say everyone needs two tickets to the gun show. But have you ever noticed his legs? Usually covered up by shorts or pants—although how he manages to fit into anything but a loincloth remains to be seen—The Rock's legs made their Instagram debut Tuesday, and they are massive. Pulling up his shorts so followers could get a glimpse at his chiseled stumps quads, Johnson revealed that he really is a rock. "Tonight we trained 'the beefs' aka legs," he captioned the pic. "I passed out after we took this pic from holding my breath and trying to look cool. #IronParadise #ABeefyKindaJoint." ...It doesn't look like there is anything beefy about his legs. In fact, they look to be made up of anything but beef. Johnson must be training hard for his grand return to Wrestle...

Leonardo DiCaprio Explains Why He Passed on the Chance to Play Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars Prequels

Image
Leonardo DiCaprio was afraid to embrace the dark side. In a recent interview with ShortList, the 41-year-old Revenant actor revealed that he passed on the chance to play a young Anakin Skywalker in two of the three Star Wars prequels, 2002's Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and 2005's Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. "I did have a meeting with George Lucas about that, yes," DiCaprio confirmed. "[I] just didn't feel ready to take that dive. At that point." Hayden Christensen was cast instead, and he just so happened to reflect on his role Tuesday in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. "I felt like I had this great thing in Star Wars that provided all these opportunities and gave me a career, but it all kind of felt a little too handed to me," the actor said of joining the blockbuster film franchise 13 years ago. "I didn't want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave."

Attorneys for Bill Cosby issued a statement following Wednesday's arraignment. Per NBC, it reads: "The charge by the Montgomery County District Attorney's office came as no surprise, filed 12 years after the alleged incident and coming on the heels of a hotly contested election for this county's DA during which this case was made the focal point.   Make no mistake, we intend to mount a vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that Mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a court of law." Bill Cosby was arraigned Wednesday afternoon in Pennsylvania's Montgomery County District Court on sexual assault charges stemming from 2004. Judge Elizabeth McHugh read the charges against the 78-year-old and, per CNBC, set his bail at $1 million. Per CNN, Cosby handed over his passport and did not enter a plea.

Carnival Calabar is a unique display of Africa heritage showcased through music, dance, drama and visual creativity which is reflected in the design of floats, costumes and make-up. Despite the fun and relaxed atmosphere around the carnival, a great degree of thought, creativity and discipline goes into the interpretation of the carnival theme under a strict adjudication process. The result is pure magic- an outpouring of colour, sound and spectacle, unmatched by anything else on the continent. Carnival Calabar takes place on the 26th and 27th December each year, and is the highlight of the 32-day Calabar Festival which runs from 30th November to 1st January.
