Macaulay Culkin smokes alone while wandering in the streets in a paint splattered jean

Do you remember the popular late 90s movie, Home Alone? If you do, then i guess you will remember this young man who made a career out of being alone. He starred in two parts of the movie, and that was the movie that made him famous. 

Now, he is on the news again, back in New York, not lost in the big apple this time, but lost in the enjoyment of a cigarette on the streets of New York City.

On Wednesday, Yesterday,  Macaulay Culkin looked to be in a solitary mood as he wore large headphones while enjoying a solitary smoke in New York.

The 34-year-old Home Alone star tuned out the world with his large earphones as he sipped on a Vitamin water for his solo stroll. 

The former child star sported a 'grandpa'-style sweater over a chequered shirt and paint splattered jeans. 

The My Girl star concealed his eyes with Jackie O. sunglasses, and he sported a moderate amount of scruffy facial hair.

His blonde locks were tied back into a ponytail while several rings and buttons completed his casual look.

Macaulay's cinema career has been in decline since he last starred in 1994's Richie Rich. He was then aged 14.

At 23 years old - a hiatus that spanned nine years - he returned to the big screen in the 2003 drama Party Monster.

A year later he appeared in a supporting role in the indie comedy Saved! - which was followed by 2007's dark comedy Sex And Breakfast. 

His last feature film, 2011's The Wrong Ferrari, was released online as a free download.

Considered one of the most successful child actors since Shirley Temple, his roles have earned him a reported $15 million fortune.

But it is Home Alone (PHOTO ABOVE) that remains his most memorable work - a John Hughes family Christmas comedy that earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor when he was aged nine.

In his role as Kevin McCallister, his parents 'forget' him during a family vacation to Paris and left him behind in their house. 

Rihana and Miley feel the New York fierce winter

While her ex, Chris Brown is caught up in his baby mama drama, Rihanna is busy advancing her career.

On Thursday (yesterday), the 27-year-old Barbadian beautiful superstar was seen landing at John F Kennedy Airport in New York City bundled up in warm clothing.

That same day, the FourFiveSeconds hitmaker released teasers from three soon-to-be released new singles on her Instagram account.

Rihanna landed in the chilly Big Apple wearing head-to-toe black including an oversized puffy jacket, printed pullover, sweat pants, reversed sports cap and sneakers.

She kept her head down listening to music with her large headphones while carrying a black leather handbag that was emblazoned with a imperial bird and initials 'R.L' stitched on the front.

The rumoured girlfriend of actor Leonardo DiCaprio added a bit of glamour to her less than glamorous ensemble with a bold red lip. 

Now we are done with Rihanna, she is not the only star of course to feel the New York fierce winter. Miley does too. We're used to seeing her posing in her underwear - and that's if she decides to wear any.

But it seems like Miley Cyrus has turned over a new leaf - or at least, she's started to feel the chill. 

On Thursday, Miley Cyrus was seen attending the Tibet House Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City where she chose to wear a demure black jumpsuit. 

The 22-year-old singer added a bit of designer touch to her outfit covering her short blonde locks with a Chanel 1980s leather biker hat.

It's been close to two weeks since she wore a revealing outlandish costume in public and dare we say she's become a conservative dresser. 

Miley covered up her svelte figure in an ill-fitting collared one-piece. 

In addition to completely cloaking her usually exposed frame, the girlfriend of Patrick Schwarzenegger chose a modest pair of leather ankle booties.

She wore minimal makeup on her flawless complexion and touched up her face with a swipe of bright red lipstick.

This latest look adds to Miley's recent string of unadventurous outfits.

She was spotted running errands and visiting Disneyland over the last couple of weeks and seemingly restraining her costume-like attire.

Also at the Tibet Benefit Concert were Debbie Harry and Uma Thurman, who served as a hononary chair of the soiree.

Would this be Di Caprio's Oscar role?

Leonardo DiCaprio has never won an Academy Award.

He’s been nominated four times (three for Best Actor, one for Best Supporting Actor), but has never had the opportunity to pull his acceptance speech out of his tuxedo pocket.

After he plays the lead in the New Regency film, “The Crowded Room,” DiCaprio, one of the finest actors of our time, may want to brush up on his thank you’s.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Golden Globe-winning actor (“The Wolf Of Wall Street”) is now closer than ever to playing a role he’s been chasing for two decades: Billy Milligan, the first person to ever be acquitted using the multiple personality disorder defense in a court of law.

In addition to playing Milligan, DiCaprio will also serve as producer with Jennifer Davisson and Alexandra Milchan. Jason Smilovic (“Lucky Number Slevin”) and Todd Katzberg have been tapped to adapt the script from Daniel Keyes’ nonfiction book about Milligan’s trial in Ohio in the late 1970s after he was charged with robbery and raping three women on the Ohio State University’s campus.

Milligan, who died in December 2014, pled insanity and his lawyers argued that two of his 24 alternate personalities committed the crimes unbeknownst to him. Adalana, his lesbian personality, was allegedly responsible for the rapes, while Ragan, his Yugoslavian communist personality, supposedly committed the robbery.

Although the project has been collecting dust for almost a decade, it has been been coveted by Hollywood and linked to high profile directors like James Cameron.

DiCaprio, who has been interested in bringing the character to the big screen since 1997, will likely be back to full acting form following “The Revenant,” his first movie after his one-year hiatus and director Alejandro G. Inarritu’s first film after his Best Picture Oscar-winner,“Birdman.”

Kanye West Apologises to Beck and Bruno Mars on Twitter

LOS ANGELES –  Kanye West is saying he's sorry to Beck on Twitter.

The incendiary 37-year-old hip-hop artist took to the social media site Thursday to publicly apologize to the 44-year-old musician who won four trophies at the Grammys earlier this month.

I would like to publicly apologize to Beck, I’m sorry Beck.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 26, 2015

He also says he's sorry for remarks he made about 29-year-old singer-producer Bruno Mars.

I also want to publicly apologize to Bruno Mars, I used to hate on him but I really respect what he does as an artist.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 26, 2015

It appeared West was attempting to steal the moment from Beck when he briefly jumped on stage after Beck won album of the year at the 57th annual Grammy Awards. He quickly sat back down but later slammed the recording academy for not honoring Beyonce with the award.
West infamously interrupted Taylor Swift when she won the award for best female video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009.

FASHION: Top 10 Grammy's Best dressed

The 57th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles attracted a lot of hot, bizarre, outrageous fashion. The music industry created a scene to watch at the red carpet. The thrill has inspired me to give you a run down of the  Best of the Best fashion display.

Rundown Of the 2015 Grammy Awards

This year's Grammys featured the usual assemblage of bizarre musical mashups and jaw-dropping moments that still somehow managed to be boring.

Viewers of this year's Grammy Awards would have been well advised to take a mood-stabilizing drug before tuning in. How else to navigate the endless tonal shifts of this music industry promotional concert masquerading as an awards show?

At the telecast's beginning repeating host LL Cool J promised that we would see twenty-three musical performances, which barely left any time for, you know… awards. When someone did win, they were generally played offstage within seconds. The performances themselves spanned such a wide stylistic and emotional range that the ultimate effect was more numbing than stimulating. By the end of the seemingly endless evening, it was as if you were walking away from a buffet feeling nauseatingly overstuffed.

Continuing the show's propensity for unlikely mashups of performers, we were treated to such bizarre combinations asTom Jones and Jessie J, singing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," with the latter wearing a strange sheer outfit that resulted in Jones not having to bother undressing her with his eyes. Hozier sang his hit "Take Me to Church" accompanied byAnnie Lennox, who for some reason then performed a solo on an imaginary harmonica during her rendition of "I Put a Spell on You."

That legendary trio Peter, Paul and Mary — I mean Kanye West, Paul McCartney and Rihanna — delivered their collaboration "FourFiveSeconds," with the former Beatle member reduced to the role of backup singer/guitarist. Kanye seemed much more comfortable in his earlier solo number "Only One," which he performed not in the spotlight but rather directly atop one. The Voice co-hosts Adam Levineand Gwen Stefani dueted on a rendition of "My Heart Is Open" featuring a lavish string section.Usher sang Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic" accompanied by a harpist, with Wonder belatedly making an appearance only to deliver a brief harmonica solo — on a real harmonica, at least.

Then there was the peculiar combination of Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, although they at least have been performing together for some time now. Singing "Cheek to Cheek," they managed to bridge their six-decade age span with finesse, although it's difficult not to feel that she's just playing dress-up.

Bizarre performances abounded, but not in a good way. Madonna performed her new single "Living for Love" accompanied by a seeming herd of half-naked Minotaurs in a stage tableau resembling a Hieronymus Bosch painting. Performing a striptease during the number to demonstrate that she's still devotedly using her Thighmaster, she was eventually slowly raised to the rafters as if ascending to heaven.

Sia replicated the hallucinatory effect of her "Chandelier" music video including her dancing doppelganger and a cameo by Kristen Wiig, but she might as well have been performing in another venue entirely. But the most truly jaw-droppingly strange performance of the evening came courtesy of Pharrell Williams, dressed in a bellboy outfit seemingly borrowed from The Grand Budapest Hotel, performing his smash hit "Happy" with all the happiness drained out of it. Like Common and John Legend would later in the night, his performance referenced the "hands up, don't shoot" gesture that originated with the protests in Ferguson, Mo. He was accompanied by classical pianist Lang Lang, in an apparent attempt to duplicate the success of last year's collaboration with Metallica, and soundtrack composer Hans Zimmer, who wandered onstage playing guitar as if he was paying off a bet.


As is so often the case, it was the impromptu moments that were the most entertaining: Taylor Swift enthusiastically inventing new dance steps for every performance she watched from the audience. Sam Smith's acceptance speeches, and they were legion, that included admitting how his music didn't come together until he stopped trying to lose weight and thanking the man who broke his heart because he now had four Grammys as a result. Kanye West jokingly rushing the stage after Beck's surprise best album win, this action by Kanye surprised most people. Tony Bennett looking utterly bemused while watching AC/DC rocking through "Highway to Hell." Prince, with his now ubiquitous walking stick, introducing the best album award by noting, "Albums still matter, like books and black lives." Jamie Foxx reprising his Ray Charles impersonation while presenting an award with Stevie Wonder.

One of the more incongruous segments began with a PSA delivered by President Obama about violence against women. That was followed by that most socially conscious of performers, Katy Perry, singing "By the Grace of God" while clad in an angelic white gown, which might have been easier to take seriously if we hadn't witnessed her performing on top of a giant robotic lion at the Super Bowl a week earlier.

The evening ended on serious notes. Beyonce, as if becloudingor in real sense making up for her controversially sexy turn in last year's awards with "Drunk in Love," went into full gospel mode with the classic "Take My Hand, Precious Lord." That was followed by Legend and Common, warming up for the Oscars, performing their song "Glory" from the Selma soundtrack and finally, as if to emphasize his dominance of the evening, Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige reprising their duet on "Stay With Me."

THESE ARE RED CARPET ARRIVALS

PHOTO: A Room In Okpara Hostel In University of Nigeria, Nsukka Burns to the ground.

On that day, February the 2nd, 2015, four girls suffered unimaginable loss in Okpara hostel. The fire started at about 12:15pm. This particular event attracted innumerable crowd to the spot where some good hearted gentlemen took it upon them selves to quench the fire. By the time this activity was over, the room has been converted to a place similar to a village kitchen. The fire service arrived about 20-30 minutes after the fire outbreak was discovered. Though their arrival depended on the time they were called.
       Eyewitnesses believed the fire was caused by some gas cooker in the room, whereas some countered that it was due to an electric spark. Whatever it is wrecked great havoc on the girls. There is no point pointing fingers at the cause of the fire, the main  point is how to help the now homless girls judging from the way girls behave and the fact that there is scarcity of room spaces.
