I Survived Ebola, But Villagers Shunned Me #Ebola

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has hit “unprecedented” proportions, according to relief workers on the ground, with the WHO reporting 844 cases including 518 deaths since the epidemic began in March.

There is no cure or vaccine to treat Ebola, but the aid agency MSF has shown it doesn’t have to be a death sentence if treated early. Ebola typically kills 90% of patients but the death rate in this outbreak has dropped to roughly 60%.

One man who survived the disease describes how the virus took hold.

Jesus Would Have Supported Gay Marriage - Elton John @eltonjohndotcom

Jesus would have been a supporter of gay marriage, Sir Elton John has claimed.

The musician, who plans to marry his civil partner David Furnish next year in a "very quiet" ceremony, said that rules preventing gay clergy from marrying and requiring Catholic priests to be celibate were "old and stupid things".

He told Sky News's Murnaghan programme: "The church hierarchy, the traditionalists, might be up in arms about it but times have changed.

"If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen.

UK-Based Nigerian Lesbian, Aderonke Apata To Submit Her Sextape To Prevent Deportation

Aderonke Apata
A UK-based Nigerian Lesbian and asylum-seeker, Aderonke Apata, says she’s ready to send a sextape of her and her partner to prove she’s a lesbian. She claims she would be killed if she returns to Nigeria.

According to IndependentUK, Aderonke feels she has tried everything to persuade the Home Office that she’s gay. She’d sent letters from former girlfriends and supporting statements from friends but since none of them seem to be acceptable, she feels there’s only one way of providing a judge with irrefutable evidence that she’s gay and that’s by sending a video of herself and her partner in the act.

Kendrick Lamar Buys Modestly Priced Home Outside Of L.A @kendricklamar

Kendrick Lamar
The TDE rapper just purchased a residence in Eastvale, Calif., and he didn't exactly splurge on the price. According to the Huffington Post, the 26-year-old paid $523,500 for the 4-bedroom home.

A modest price tag isn't the only thing unconventional about Lamar's new digs, so is the location. Eastvale isn't well known like the Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Calabasas neighborhoods celebrities tend to flock to. The city sits a full hour outside of Los Angeles, with a population of less than 60,000 people.

"Rihanna Is A Risk Taker, I Don’t Really Consider Her A Fashion Icon" - Wendy Williams [+Video] @rihanna @WendyWilliams

Wendy Williams
Talk Show host Wendy Williams says she doesn't consider R&B star Rihanna a fashion icon. According to popular talk show host, the sheer dress Rihanna wore to Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards was inappropriate.

"She’s got a really terrific body and she’s a really beautiful girl, but as far as I’m concerned, she’s totally inappropriate for walking out the house with this outfit on.

“This is the kind of outfit…that when you invite all of your friends over and you’re hosting your down low sex party…then you wear this outfit. And you smoke your blunts out of a cigarette holder and you walk around like you own the joint. But you don’t walk out of the house like this. Since when is public nudity okay?”

13-Year Old Indian Girl Becomes Youngest Female To Climb Mount Everest

Malavath Poorna
13-year old Malavath Poorna has become the youngest female to climb Mt. Everest.
Nepal requires climbers to be at least 16 years old to scale its peaks, but Poorna said she and a team of Nepalese guides climbed the 29,035-foot mountain on May 25 from the northern side in Tibet. There are no age restrictions in China.

“It was very difficult. Every step is a dangerous step,” a smiling Poorna told reporters in New Delhi, describing steep slopes, exposed rocks, deep crevasses and extreme cold that went below minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

At 10,830 feet, she said she saw “six dead bodies. I was shocked. Oh my god I got some fear.”
But she remembered her training and regained her confidence.

Rihanna Drops Jaws As She Steps Out In A See-Through-Dress[Photos] @rihanna

Rihanna in a see-through dress
Channeling Josephine Baker and rivaling the dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing president John F. Kennedy happy birthday, Rihanna showed up at the CFDA Fashion Awards wearing what can only be described as a sparkly naked dress. Rihanna walked the red carpet with all the glamour and pomp of a Las Vegas showgirl in a sheer dress with a matching thong and gloves, designed by Adam Selman. She set it off with a matching head wrap and pink fur stole. She was covered, literally, in Swarovski crystals, more than 200,000 of them. The singer and provocateur was honored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America with the Fashion Icon award, and she did not disappoint. Somehow, it’s more naked than Carrie Bradshaw’s naked dress from “Sex and the City” — and that’s its name: The Naked Dress.
