Shameful scenes shocked football yet
again last night when a 17-year-old ballboy was kicked in the ribs by
Chelsea striker Eden Hazard during a tussle for the ball. The £170,000-a-week Chelsea star was
trying to regain the ball when it went out of play late in the game
with the Premier League club facing a League Cup semi-final exit at the
hands of Swansea. He apparently
became infuriated when the boy fell to
the ground, landed on the ball and smothered it - costing Chelsea valuable seconds. Hazard tried
to kick it from under the teenager but caught him in the ribs before he finally grabbed
the ball and ran off.

Siku chache baada ya mama mzazi wa mkali wa pop na R&B
Justin Bieber kutangaza kuwa anatengeneza filamu fupi ya kupinga utoaji mimba
(anti-arbotion), inasemekana kuwa Justin Bieber hajapenda project hiyo mpya ya
mama yake.
Kwa mujibu wa Chicago Sun Times, mwimbaji huyo mwenye umri
mdogo hajapenda project hiyo kwa sababu imebeba mambo ya kisiasa.
Mtu wa karibu wa Biebs aliliambia Chicago Sun Times kuwa
Justin hapendi mambo ya kisiasa kama utoaji mimba ambao kwa upande wa Marekani
ni issue nzito sana iliyojaa siasa. Chanzo hicho kilisema kuwa Biebs ameegemea
zaidi katika kuwaburudisha fans wake na havutiwi kabisa na agenda za kisiasa.
Amesema amechoshwa na kukutana na vichwa vya habari ambavyo ni vinahabari mbaya
zinazomhusu yeye.
Mama yake Bieber Pattie Mallette alitangaza hivi karibuni
kuja na project mpya ya filamu inayoitwa "Crescendo" inayopinga
utoaji mimba, akiwa na lengo la kuwahamasisha vijana kufahamu kwamba kuna
sehemu ya kwenda ambapo watu watawatunza na sehemu ya kuishi kama watapata
ujauzito na wakaona hawana sehemu ya kuegemea.
Crescendo inatarajiwa kuoneshwa kwa mara ya kwanza february
28,na waandaaji wa filamu hiyo wamepanga kukusanya pesa kiasi cha $10 million
kwa ajili ya vituo vya kuwahudumia wajawazito.
Depending on your point of view, it
could be the ultimate gadget for coffee and iPhone owners or an
accident waiting to happen. A
Dutch firm has come up with an iPhone case that includes a cup holder,
enabling iPhone addicts to text while precariously balancing a cup of
boiling hot liquid inches from their expensive gadget. Called the Uppercup, the is the brainchild of design firm Natwerk, who say it could sell for £21 later this year.
The Uppercup phone holder slips around a hot takeaway cup enabling two handed texting while nursing the drink
Spokesman Kristian van Kuijk
said: 'We thought it would really be handy especially for people that
text, Twitter or Facebook a lot while drinking coffee.
'It wouldn't work if you use your phone for calling, but you wont be needing two hands then either.'
The company says: 'No more one handed typing. 'No more spilling coffee on your lap.
'It will leave your hands free for your optimal texting, gaming and social networking pleasure.
One of the employees of Natwek, the Dutch firm who came up with the idea, demonstrating a prototype
'Ever since the first smart phone came to the market we all have been waiting for Uppercup, the first cupholder for the iPhone. 'Together we can change the world with this revolutionary product.'
The company, which creates ideas for brands such as O'Neill, Sourcy and Puma, came up with the Uppercup between projects. It has a range of self developed products described as - fun and not too serious.'
The uppercup, which combines a cup holder with
an iPhone case to allow people to text without having to find somewhere
to put their cup down
The firm says the case is perfect for games, texting and social media
They are now looking for funding on investment raising website indiegogo
They hope the Uppercut will have a retail-price of £21.
Investors
who put in £15 for the iPhone 4 and £18 for the iPhone 5 now at
indiegogo.com/uppercup, will receive the Uppercup when in production,
hopefully by April this year.
The firm says the product will end the inconvenience of having to precariously hold a coffee while texting
Rihanna and Chris Brown
are up to something. The on-again, off-again, probably on-again couple
was spotted leaving a L.A.-area recording studio Thursday night.
The session took place in West Hollywood and a Brown rep confirms to E! News
that a new Brown/Rih Rih track is in the works. They were even snapped
leaving the studio at separate times, Rihanna rocking a floral maxi
dress with a camouflage jacket and Breezy in a red jacket and a
baseball cap.
Further details about when and where fans will get to hear the track are still unknown. However, Brown is slated to release a new album in 2013, so it's possible that Rihanna is returning the favor after Brown showed up on her Unapologetic track "Nobodies Business."
She addressed the duet in her recent Complex interview,
noting that the reason the twosome worked together is "nobody's
business." She further added, "It's a fun record that The-Dream wrote,
and we loved the lyrics. You're still asking me questions about it, so
clearly you don't know."
The twosome also caused a stir this week when Rihanna dropped her artwork for her upcoming single, the slow jam "Stay,". The art featured her snuggling up against a young man who very closely resembles Brown.
If
fans are tired of playing "Nobodies Business" on repeat and can't wait
for this new track, they can pump up some of their older collabos like
his "Turn Up the Music" and her "Birthday Cake."
Twilight of their love Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in November
The Twilight couple’s four-year relationship first hit a rocky patch in July
when Kristen, 22, had
an affair with married 42-year-old film director Rupert Sanders.
They reunited in September and attended November’s premieres of final vampire
film Breaking Dawn, Part 2. But R-Patz called it off again after
a difficult festive period together.
The heartbroken Brit, 26, broke the news to his ex at the weekend, telling her
they would be better off as friends.
Reunion story on pair's relationship last September
A source said: “She flew to LA and was supposed to be Rob’s date for the
Golden Globes, but he told her he wants to cool it off.
“He loves her but would rather go back to being good friends so they can
rebuild their trust and focus on work after Twilight.
“Kristen’s upset but understands. She shouldn’t have pushed him to reconcile
after her infidelity. She’s hoping he’ll come round and time will be a great
healer.”
R-Patz and K-Stew before they split last year
Rob’s friends and family in London had given him a hard time about taking back
the stunning actress who is one of Hollywood’s biggest earners.
The source added: “He was getting so much pressure to ditch her. His friends
told him to focus on his career and said she was wrecking his chances.”
R-Patz is planning to stay in his LA home while Kristen is moving to New York
to make a fresh start. An insider said: “She feels people leave her alone
there and she has a bit more peace.”
