David Beckham Announces Final Game With L.A. Galaxy To Be December 1

End of an era: David Beckham has called time on his stay with the LA Galaxy

David Beckham has announced that the MSL Cup on December 1 against the Houston Dynamo will be his final game for the L.A. Galaxy.

The soccer star, who joined the Galaxy in 2007 and helped popularize the sport even more in the U.S., said in a statement, “I’ve had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy, however, I wanted to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career.”

“I don’t see this as the end of my relationship with the league as my ambition is to be part of the ownership structure in the future,” he added.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber noted, “There is no doubt that MLS is far more popular and important here and abroad than it was when [Beckham] arrived.”

Garber continued, “David has achieved great things on and off the field during his time with the Galaxy, and he will always be an important part of our history. We look forward to his continued involvement with the LA Galaxy and the league.”

Lady Gaga waves at fans from the balcony of her Rio hotel

The 26-year-old singer stripped off in the Brazilian party capital on wednesday to soak up some sun between concerts on the South American leg of her Born This Way Ball tour.

And she was quickly mobbed by fans who found out where she was staying and surrounded her hotel with banners, screaming for their idol to appear.

Never one to disappoint her loyal Little Monsters, Gaga tweeted a message to her adoring crowd - and even ordered them takeaway for them to feast on while they waited for her to appear.

She wrote: "Brazil, there's hundreds @ hotel and this is what the f**k its all about, revolution through music. Get ready to party at the show in 2 days

"OI GALERA! In Rio + My beautiful fans are wearing leather & bandanas in the sun, bad asses, gorgeous smiles & fists in the air! I HEAR U!

"Im sending you hamburgers, fries, and coke. I love you monsters."

And when she did make her appearance, Gaga gave fans an eyeful of her curvy figure - leaning over a balcony and waving at them wearing a tiny turqoise bikini top and a sarong wrapped around her waist.

It wasn't Gaga's only generous gesture,

The singer donated $1 million (£625,000) to victims of Hurricane Sandy in her native New York - on behalf of her and her family.

In a message on her site,the singer - whose old neighborhood was flooded by the superstorm - wrote: "If it wasn’t for NYC... I would not be the woman or artist that I am today.

"Please accept this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, and my sister Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us.

"Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours. Sincerely, Lady Gaga and The Germanottas."

We’re going after corrupt governors, says Goodluck Jonathan

The Federal Government has stated its resolve to go after corrupt governors.

Speaking at the launch of the book “Reforming the unreformable, lessons from Nigeria” written by Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in Abuja yesterday, President Goodluck Jonathan said the administration was going after governors “who committed various economic crimes and corrupt practices with impunity”.

He said: “Government is taking legal measures to ensure that those who defraud the government under the petroleum subsidy scheme are made to return the money and punished.”

Jonathan, who was represented by Vice-President Namadi Sambo, said: “We will continue to diversify the economy to create jobs and wealth.

“This administration is not only committed to reform but is also building on some of the reform measures initiated by its predecessors, specifically by consolidating the micro-economic reforms and going further on structural reforms to create jobs.”

Former Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku called for a major restructuring of Nigeria’s governance architecture.

He said: “The present structure we have will arrest the destructive competition for the control of power at the centre, while we sustain the largely non-viable states which has become the custom and share the national cake from the centre.

“I don’t believe that we can succeed in reducing significantly the level of recurrent expenditure, which at the moment is averaging 74 per cent.

“When you look around the world and particularly, you look around developing countries that started at the same stage as we did, you will find that their recurrent expenditure is less than what we have been spending.

“ Because what we have been spending on recurrent budget has left us and continues to leave us with too little for capital development, which we need.”

“Given the required political space and the backing of the president and National Assembly, we will reap the benefit of reform and the lessons learnt from Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s book.”

Beyonce wears 'Obama' earrings(PHOTOS)

For a sunset dinner with hubby Jay-Z in New York this weekend, Beyonce wore gold hoop earrings with the word "Obama" spelled out: the hoop itself made the "O" with a "BAMA" charm dangling from the top. The earrings, Glamour pointed out, are by jewelry designer Erika Peña as part of her Obama Collection, which includes the baubles in both silver and gold.

The best part is the gold pair Bey wore are only $32, which probably makes them the cheapest jewelry item she owns.

Did i hear someone say Tonko Dike should wear 'ATIKU' earrings?....hehehe

Madonna Booed At New Orleans Concert For Telling Audience To “Vote For Obama”

The American singer is making sure to leave each concert with a (not-so-great) memory

.

After recently taking a spill while on stage in Dallas, the controversial singer drew some boos from the crowd in New Orleans, America last night after she began praising President Barack Obama.

"Who's registered to vote," she asked concertgoers, and then followed with, "I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama."

Madonna says calling Obama a "black Muslim" was supposed to be ironic

After the crowd took issue with her remarks—in the form of boos—the Material Girl went on to say, "Seriously, I don't care who you vote for. Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote."

Last time Madonna mentioned Obama, and made headlines about it, was when she told a crowd in Washington D.C., "So, you all better vote for f--kin' Obama, OK? For better or for worse, all right, we have a black Muslim in the White House!"

This babe can talk o!

You got monstrous negative response to both singles. How did feel with all the attacks?
I listened to my songs over and over again and I told myself I did well. In all I see only the positivity in it,I made History.

Don't let anyone's opinion kill whatever dream you have or try to stop you from taking the next step.

You tweeted that you were not giving up. Does that mean you will become actively involved in music?
I love my acting career and I don't see myself jumping into full time music. I am however shooting the musical video of my songs,I will not let the hating stop me.

You released your song on Wednesday October 17, 2012 and two days later despite the negativity your song had hit 5.2 million download on the internet. How do you feel?
The most unanticipated and hated song became the most talked about,most controversial,most downloaded and of course the most listened song.I feel great Stella, no regrets.!

We look forward to the musical videos.till then I am sure comedians will soon add. Your song jokes to their shows.
Hopefully. Thank you and here's a loud shout out and thank you to everyone who stood up for me.

LADY GAGA SPEAKS ON HER WEIGHT GAIN: I Don't Feel Bad About It!

Lady Gaga has admitted she's put on a little weight recently -- but she's not apologizing for it!

"I'm dieting right now, because I gained, like, 25 pounds," the singer revealed in a radio interview back in August ... an interview just making headlines now after Gaga showed off her new figure on tour in Amsterdam this month.
"And you know I really don't feel bad about it, not even for a second," she told host Elvis Duran. "I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It's hard because it's a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don't like that. So I'm trying to find a new balance."
Reason for her weight gain: Her dad's delicious Italian food.
"My father opened a restaurant, it's so amazing," she says. "It's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant and I'm like 'I've got to go where I can drink green juice!'"
 Her other weakness: Pizza.
"I love eating pasta and pizza. I'm a New York Italian girl!"
Can't blame here for that ... who doesn't like a good slice of every now and then?

ASUU to call off strike tomorrow

The ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may be called off tomorrow. To this end, the leadership of the union is billed to meet at the University of Abuja, Gwagwalada, to review the strike and outcome of dialogue with the Federal Government.

ASUU, last week, met with the Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufai in Abuja to resolve grey areas in the contentious ASUU agreement. The meeting could not produce the desired results as the lecturers turned down the minister’s pleas to end the strike.

Before the meeting, Senate, as part of moves to get ASUU to call of the strike, passed a bill elongating the retirement age of lecturers from 60 to 70 years. The increase in the retirement was contained in ASUU’s agreement signed by government some years ago.

Other items in the agreement include revamping the decaying infrastructure in universities, increased research funding and enhanced emoluments. Although the Federal Government signed the agreement, it had refused to honour it, leading to recurring strikes by ASUU.

Speaking to Daily Sun, an official of ASUU who pleaded anonymity revealed that significant inroads had been made in resolving the disagreement with government. He said: “We are almost at the end of the strike. Unless anything crops up we hope to call off the strike on Tuesday (tomorrow).

“We will meet at the University of Abuja on that Tuesday and I think the meeting will agree to end the strike.”
Asked if the Federal Government had accepted to implement the union’s agreement, he replied: “What I can tell you is that we have made some strides. We have a minister who, to some extent, is not playing politics with the agreement unlike what we had in the past.”

I didn’t threaten to resign –Okonjo-Iweala

The Minister for Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has denied online reports of threatening to resign her appointment if the Jonathan-led administration bows to public pressure and rescinds its decision on removal of fuel subsidy.
She said the reports, which tried to portray her as the sole leader of the removal of subsidy, were founded on lies and circulated by faceless campaigners to inspire public hatred and odium against her personality.
In a statement, signed by her Senior Special Assistant, Paul Nwabuike, the minister urged the public to ignore such reports, which she described as ‘the antics of people who believe that Nigerians are fools’.

We all know who's taking us as fool and who the actual fool is, Madam IMF!

Justin Bieber's Jesus Tatoo (PHOTOS)

Jesus walks. Justin Bieber was spotted on the beach in Los Angeles rocking board shorts and some major ink. The Biebs has always been open about his faith but now he's wearing it on his sleeve -- or rather his calf. The "Mistletoe" singer was recently tatted with a large visage of Jesus on his left calf.
Bieber also has the name "Jesus" tattooed on his torso but his new tatoo is certainly a more visible ode to his religion.
The 17-year-old also has a small bird tattooed on his hip.
hmmm, Is Bieber showing his love to God or committing a sin?
