OOPS: STEVE HARVEY MISTAKENLY ANNOUNCES THE WRONG WINNER AS MISS UNIVERSE

Steve Harvey took the blame for perhaps the most epic beauty pageant host blunder of all time on Sunday night’s Miss Universe 2015 Pageant, but some are pointing to a backstage Snapchat video as proof the mistake may have been someone else's. A seven-second behind-the-scenes video shows Harvey immediately after naming the wrong winner -- Miss Colombia instead of Miss Philippines -- pointing to a cue card and talking to an unidentified person saying: “The teleprompter said Miss Universe – Colombia.” Snapchat is a social media platform that features user-generated short videos. The video in question looks as if it were posted on the Miss Universe Snapchat channel, but it is no longer there. It has however been shared multiple times by users, including a pageant queen from the Miss America organization, Miss Alabama Meg McGuffin, who wrote: “Watch the Miss Universe snap story…Harvey says, “The TelePrompter said Miss Universe-Colombia”…someone in production is fired….” Sports Illustrated writer Kenny Ducey tweeted, “Conspiracy theory #2 – the teleprompter.”  Another social media user, Taylor Ramsey, weighed in: “Teleprompter was wrong. Yes he had a card, but we all know the card is just for show…from #Miss Universe snapchat.” Harvey immediately apologized for the mistake calling it a “human error,” and apologized on Twitter.  “I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.” The Miss Universe organization issued a statement on Sunday night for the mix-up without placing blame on any particular individual. "The excitement of live TV was evident tonight on The Miss Universe stage with over 10 million live fan votes tabulated. Unfortunately, a live telecast means that human error can come into play. We witnessed that tonight when the wrong winner was initially announced. Our sincerest apologies to Miss Universe Colombia 2015, Ariadna Gutierrez-ArĂ©valo, Miss Universe Philippines 2015, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, their families and fans."
Steve Harvey and the Miss Universe organization didn't immediately return requests for comment.

Nicki Minaj Performs in Angola, Despite Request From Human Rights Activists

 
Nikki MInaj performed to a packed crowd Saturday, despite human rights activists and critics calling for her concert to be canceled in the impoverished African nation of Angola. The 33-year-old rapper was performing in the capital city of Luanda at a Christmas party hosted by the Unitel communications firm, which is part-owned by the family of the country's controversial President Jose Eduardo dos Santos. Dos Santos, 73, has been accused of overseeing corruption, misrule and intimidation in the country that suffers endemic poverty, despite being Africa's second-largest oil producer. According to the United Nations Development Programme, more than a third of the country's population of about 24million people are living below the poverty line, and nearly 70 percent of the population lives on less than $2 a day.

   The 33-year-old hip hop star arrived in the impoverished African nation on a private jet 

Since becoming president of Angola in 1979, dos Santos has allegedly amassed an incredible amount of money in assets by taking control of several emerging companies and industries. However, once it was made illegal for the president to have financial holding in companies and organizations by the Angolan Parliament, dos Santos allegedly began arranging for his daughter, Isabel dos Santos, to receive the assets.  According to Forbes, she is Africa's first billionaire and the richest woman on the entire continent. Human rights groups claimed that Minaj's presence in Angola could be regarded as 'an endorsement' of the president's authoritarian rule and have accused the singer of 'callously taking money from a dictator.' Minaj was reportedly paid $2million for the performance Saturday, where crowd members broke into a chant of her name during the show. The Grammy nominated rapper shared two videos of the packed audience screaming in pandemonium at the concert to her Instagram account and captioned one video writing: 'Angola has my heart.' In addition, she also shared a photo of herself with Isabel dos Santos that she captioned: 'Oh no big deal...she's just the 8th richest woman in the world.' Minaj added in the caption: 'GIRL POWER!!!!! This motivates me soooooooooo much!!!! S/O to any woman on a paper chase. Get your own!!!! Success is yours for the taking!!!!! #Angola thank u to the women who brought me out here as well.' Prior to the concert, Minaj shared a photo of herself in a sheer bedazzled jumpsuit on Instagram with the caption: 'Oh hai, Angola. Ready for the show?'
Minaj arrived in Angola on a private jet and shared a photo of herself disembarking the aircraft in ripped denims and a fur jacket. 
She later posted another snap of herself wrapped in an Angolan flag following her controversial performance. Jeffery Smith, of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights center, said: 'Nicki Minaj is following in the footsteps of Mariah Carey, callously taking money from a dictator... who has effectively and ruthlessly choked free expression.' 'This sustained crackdown on basic human rights in Angola has swept up activists, opposition members, journalists and even musicians.'
Angola marked 40 years of independence from Portugal last month, with dos Santos vowing to bring progress to the country, but critics accuse him of ruling through fear and repression.
In 2013, pop superstar Mariah Carey was similarly criticized for performing in front of the Angolan leader for a reported fee of $1 million. Human Rights Foundation president Thor Halvorssen also spoke out, saying: 'Nicki Minaj is a global artist.'  'There is no good reason for her to do business with the corrupt Angolan dictatorship and endorse the ruler's family company.' Minaj appeared in a Unitel clip on Facebook, promoting Saturday's gig and also shared the event's poster via social media, tweeting: 'Guess who's performing in Angola Dec 19th at the Unitel Christmas Festival.' The Anaconda rapper will share the stage with local acts at the stadium concert, according to the Unitel website.

Senator Ighoyota Amori Who Took Girls On Boat Cruise Has Been Sacked By Court Of Appeal

The Court of Appeal has sacked Senator Ighoyota Amori, popularly known as the “Cruise Boat Senator” after hosting a spectacular birthday party for himself in the United States on a luxury cruise boat with sexy ladies. Senator Amori’s guests donned only white clothes during the festivities. Photos of Senator Amori’s extravagant birthday party went viral and left many questioning his decision to abandon his legislative duties in Nigeria and the source of his wealth. Amori represented Delta Central district on PDP’s platform. However, the Court has ordered that Obaisi Ovie Omo-Agege of the Labour Party (LP) be sworn in after a long court case leading to the Appeal Court decision. It will be recalled that Senator Amori was interviewed by SaharaTV in August where he defended the integrity of former Delta State Governor James Ibori, who has been incarcerated in the UK for financial crimes and laundering money from his obscene looting as Governor.
