BREAKING NEWS!!! 
Gaddafi deadBUT NOT YET CONFIRMED!

FUGITIVE Colonel Muhammar Gaddafi was “killed” today during a final rebel attack on his birthplace.
The toppled Libyan leader was badly wounded in both legs and shot in the head as rebels backed by NATO attacked a convoy fleeing the coastal town of Sirte, it was claimed.
He is said to have died shortly after rebel fighters finally overran his loyalists defending the coastal town of Sirte - finally ending the last remnants of his 42 year hold on Libya.
Libyan National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta said Gaddafi was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn today as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked.

“He was also hit in his head.” the official said. “There was a lot of firing against his group and he died.”
Television broadcasts showed footage of NTC troops celebrating the fall of Sirte and the apparent capture of Gaddafi, who was wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
There were fierce gun battles on the streets of the coastal city in the morning, bringing an end to a siege which has lasted almost two months since the fall of capital Tripoli to rebel troops in August.
 “Our forces control the last neighbourhood in Sirte,” NTC member Hassan Draoua said.  “The city has been liberated.”
Shortly afterwards senior National Transitional Council commanders claimed Gaddafi had died from wounds sustained in the final assault.
NATO said it was checking reports of the capture of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya and said they could take some time to confirm. 
 ‘’We are checking and assessing the situation.’’ a NATO official said. ‘’Clearly these are very significant developments, which will take time to confirm. “
Gaddafi has been rumoured to be hiding in Sirte for many weeks, although it was also believed he may be in his desert stronghold of Bani Walid, to the south.


A Libyan transitional forces commander said Moussa Ibrahim, former spokesman for Muammar Gaddafi’s fallen government, was captured near the city of Sirte this afternoon. 
Abdul Hakim Al Jalil, commander of the 11th brigade, also said he had seen the body of the chief of Gaddafi’s armed forces, Abu Bakr Younus Jabr. 
 “I’ve seen him with my own eyes.” he said and displayed a picture of Jabr’s body. 
 “Moussa Ibrahim was also captured and both of them were transferred to our operations room.”
Libya's son Mo'tassim was reported to have been captured alive.
Colonel Roland Lavoie, spokesman for Nato's operational headquarters in Naples, said its aircraft today struck two vehicles of pro-Gaddafi forces "which were part of a larger group manoeuvring in the vicinity of Sirte".
The Ministry of Defence in London confirmed that Nato warplanes today attacked a convoy of vehicles fleeing Sirte.
It is not known whether Gaddafi was in any of vehicles.
"It was targeted on the basis that this was the last of the pro-Gaddafi forces fleeing Sirte," a spokesman said.
RAF fighters were not involved in the attack, although RAF reconnaissance aircraft were in the area.
The ecstatic former rebels celebrated the fall of Sirte after weeks of bloody siege by firing endless rounds into the sky, pumping their guns, knives and even a meat cleaver in the air and singing the national anthem.


In the central quarter where the final battle took place, the fighters looking like the same ragtag force that started the uprising eight months ago, jumped up and down with joy and flashed V-for-victory signs.
Some burned the green Gaddafi flag, then stepped on it with their boots.
They chanted "Allah akbar" or "God is great", while one fighter climbed a traffic light pole to unfurl the revolution's flag, which he first kissed.
Discarded military uniforms of Gaddafi's fighters littered the streets. One revolutionary fighter waved a silver trophy in the air while another held up a box of firecrackers, then set them off.
A Libyan fighter claimed Gaddafi was hiding in a hole in his hometown of Sirte shouting: "Don't shoot, don't shoot."
In a statement on NTC-controlled state television, a presenter draped in the flag of liberated Libya said: "Gaddafi is in the hands of the rebels. Gaddafi personally is in the hands of the rebels.

"We have captured Gaddafi. Libya is joyous, Libya is celebrating, Libya has given a lesson to all those who want to learn.
"I salute you, rebels. I salute you, revolutionaries. You have captured this criminal who has killed the mothers of the martyrs."
Libyan fighters had earlier overrun the last positions of Gaddafi loyalists holding out in his hometown Sirte.
Sirte has been taken by the National Transitional Council

The final push to capture the remaining pro-Gaddafi positions began around 8 am and was over after about 90 minutes.
Just before the assault, about five carloads of loyalists tried to flee the enclave down the coastal highway but were killed by revolutionaries.
Revolutionaries began searching homes and buildings looking for any Gaddafi fighters who may be hiding there.
"Our forces control the last neighbourhood in Sirte," said Hassan Draoua, a member of Libya's interim National Transitional Council.

"The city has been liberated."
After the battle, revolutionaries began searching homes and buildings looking for any Gaddafi fighters who may be hiding there. At least 16 pro-Gaddafi fighters were captured, with multiple cases of ammunition and trucks loaded with weapons.
Reporters saw revolutionaries beating captured Gaddafi men in the back of trucks and officers intervening to stop them.
Celebratory gunfire echoed through Sirte, which fell into the hands of revolutionaries almost two full months after they overrun Tripoli and many other parts of the country.
Despite the fall of Tripoli on August 21, Gaddafi loyalists mounted fierce resistance in several areas, including Sirte, preventing Libya's new leaders from declaring full victory in the eight-month civil war.


Earlier this week, revolutionary fighters gained control of one stronghold, Bani Walid, and by Tuesday said they had squeezed Gaddafi 's forces in Sirte into a residential area of about 700 square metres but were still coming under heavy fire from surrounding buildings.
Deputy defence minister Fawzi Abu Katif said on Wednesday that authorities still believe Gaddafi's son Muatassim is among the ex-regime figures holed up in the diminishing area in Sirte. He was not seen on the ground after the final battle today.
In an illustration of how difficult and slow the fighting for Sirte was, it took the anti-Gaddafi fighters two days to capture a single residential building.
It is unclear whether Gaddafi loyalists who have escaped might continue the fight and attempt to organise an insurgency using the vast amount of weapons Gaddafi was believed to have stored in hideouts in the remote southern desert.
Unlike Iraq's Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi had no well-organised political party that could form the basis of an insurgent leadership. However, regional and ethnic differences have already appeared among the ranks of the revolutionaries, possibly laying the foundation for civil strife.

Gaddafi issued several audio recordings trying to rally supporters. Libyan officials have previously said they believe he is hiding somewhere in the vast south-western desert near the borders with Niger and Algeria.
Stay tuned for further breaking developments!

The Queen Bee is back. No not it's not Beyonce...but the FIRST Queen Bee aka Lil' Kim. Yes, Miss Kimberly Jones is ready to reclaim her throne having dropped a new single called "Spend A Mill." Hear it inside....

Lil' Kim wants her throne back, and she and plans to get the crown through her music and by taking over the small screen. I guess.

In addition to serving as a judge on a show expected to debut this winter called "America's Next Rapper," Kim just dropped a new single.

On "Spend A Mill" she lets her fans know a man has to have a lot of dough if he expects to get with her. Sure....we have heard this type of song from her DOZENS of times at this point....but at least she is still trying.

Listen to Lil' Kim's new joint here: 

I think Kimmy may need to pack it up!

Elise Neal Unhappy With Rick Ross’ Handlers

Seasoned actress Elise Neal is letting it known that she in unhappy with those who are in care of Rick Ross after his recent health emergencies. The actress who had a brief relationship with the rapper says “I think they’re pushing him too hard”.

Neal spoke with rumorfix.com and had this to say:

“I hate to say this, but I saw this coming, They don’t think about him or his health—pushing him to do all these videos, pushing tours and shows. He is not 20 years old anymore. No one seems to care about him really or overall his health.”
On Friday Ross suffered from a seizure while on a commercial flight to Memphis, TN. The plane made an emergency landing and Ross later tweeted that he was fine and will continue to do the show he had scheduled. No less than 24 hours he suffered yet another seizure while on a private jet and was then forced to cancel his upcoming appearance.

“If you have a medical emergency … if you have the people who are closest around you saying, ‘You’re alright,’ you’re going to be more apt to say, ‘I’m alright,’” 

the Hustle & Flow actress said.

Although Elise Neal and Ross remain friends their relationship ended earlier this year aledgedly due to Ross being seen with another woman.

Do you agree with Elise on Ross’ camp neglecting to attend to to his medical needs?

Soulja Boy ARRESTED on Drugs, Gun Possession! says he's innocent after drug arrest in Carroll County

Dozens of screaming fans were waiting for him outside a bail bond company, and he said, "I'm innocent, man," as bodyguards led him to a car, the Associated Press reported.

The newly minted 21-year-old, also known as DeAndre Cortez Way, was traveling west on I-20 around 2:30 a.m., Tuesday with four other men when their Cadillac Escalade was pulled over in Temple, about 20 miles east of the Alabama state line, for what police called a vehicle equipment violation.
Temple Police spokeswoman officer Dana Rampy said the police officer who made the stop searched the vehicle and found more than five ounces of marijuana, cash and handguns.

Way and his four travelmates were charged with felony marijuana possession, felony marijuana possession with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and were taken to the Carroll County Jail.

“It was a lot of marijuana,” Rampy told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, noting that police consider more than an ounce an amount intended for sale.

“All of the individuals were very cooperative,” she said.

Arrested with Way were Gregory Allen Latimore, 56, Cameron Andres Wagner, 23, Dontay Lamar Bates, 27, and James Raymond Smith, 35. Smith, police said, had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Lowndes County.

It is unclear how many weapons police found in the SUV.
Way was released on a $10,000 bond after appearing before a Carroll County judge Tuesday afternoon.

The Chicago-born rapper grew up in Batesville, Miss., and rose to prominence as a teen after posting a video for his song (complete with intricate dance moves) "Crank Dat" on YouTube in 2007.

Hillary Clinton lets her hair down in honour of husband while Lady Gaga enjoys her first real 'Marilyn moment' as she serenades the former president

She may be the most powerful woman in the U.S., but that does not mean she doesn't know how to have a good time.
Hillary Clinton certainly got into the swing of things at her husband's 65th birthday gala on Friday night, part of the two-day celebrations which were also held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Clinton's foundation, which has sought to improve global health, strengthen economies worldwide, promote healthier childhoods and protect the environment for the past decade.

On Saturday at the Hollywood Bowl, a host of popstars and music legends got together for a special charity concert in honour of former president Bill Clinton, where he was serenaded by Lady Gaga in what she called her 'first, real Marilyn moment'.

The envelope-pushing pop superstar was one of several musicians who performed on Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl during a concert celebrating the 10th anniversary of Clinton's foundation,
'I always wanted to have one, and I was hoping that it didn't involve pills and a strand of pearls,' she joked.

Emerging from atop an all-white treehouse, Lady Gaga sported a wavy blonde 'do and red lips like Marilyn Monroe, who famously crooned 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
That must chafe a bit! Lady Gaga struts her stuff in a tight leather playsuit as she films the video for new single Marry The Night

Lady Gaga similarly serenaded Clinton and changed several of her lyrics to reference him, including swapping the title of Bad Romance for Bill Romance.
'I thought, "My God. I get Lady Gaga, and I will have a heart attack celebrating my 65th birthday",' Mr Clinton later said.
Clinton, who turned 65 on August 19 but celebrated his birthday at a posh Hollywood party on Friday night, sat between wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea in the front row throughout Saturday's event at the outdoor venue set against the Hollywood Hills. 

Former U.S. President: Bill Clinton speaks during A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation at the Hollywood Bowl

'I am the only person in history who got to be president and then had a post-presidential birthday party attended by both Lady Gaga and the Secretary of State,' Mr Clinton joked on stage. 

'I want to thank Hillary because we met 40 years ago this year. When I met her, she was already doing the kind of work you see here long before it was cool.'
Ticket prices for A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation, which was streamed live on Yahoo.com, ranged from $50 to $550.

Other performers included Motown legend Stevie Wonder, country star Kenny Chesney, Somali rapper K'Naan, Colombian crooner Juanes and R&B singer Usher.

Usher kicked off his performance with a take on Joe Cocker's rendition of the Beatles classic With a Little Help From My Friends before launching into his hits Yeah and OMG.

The R&B singer accidentally split his pant legs while dancing to reveal his bare left leg. The wardrobe malfunction didn't stop Usher, who continued with his routine, telling the crowd: 'I work hard.'
Bono and The Edge of U2 closed the concert with a mostly acoustic set that included such tunes as Desire, One and Sunday Bloody Sunday, which Bono sang directly to Clinton.
The duo -- who were accompanied by a string quartet and Edge's laptop -- closed with Miss Sarajevo. 

Bono tackled the operatic part of the tune originally sung by the late Luciano Pavarotti.
Clinton himself is no stranger to performing. The saxophone-playing politician memorably belted out Heartbreak Hotel when he visited Arsenio Hall's show during his 1992 presidential campaign.

Clinton didn't pick up the instrument on Saturday night, despite a plea from Lady Gaga, who informed him: 'I wish you were playing sax with me tonight baby.'

Hair Extensions: Good Or Bad Beauty Trend?

Hair extensions have been used by African-Americans for decades, but is now the growing trend good or harmful to people’s scalp? Hair extensions have become the go to accessory for the everyday women and some men. Some opt to wear hair extensions for fullness, length, or trying a new look. Hair extensions which can be sewn into a braid or glued on the scalp, fusioned, braided-in, or clipped-in, now have some experiencing first hand the dangerous side of it. Dr. Eric Schweiger, a New York City dermatologist says,

“We have patients who are in their early 20s come in after wearing hair extensions for six months or one year, and they actually have bald spots. It’s very important that people out there know the risks of hair extensions before they get them done. If you’re going to do any extensions, just use them for a few hours and take them out. That’s the safest way.“

Doctors say people who wear hair extensions can see a risk of damage with those with already thin or weak hair, or those with a medical condition, like anemia. Hair extensions can really benefit a person’s hair besides looks. Hair extensions can help the hair grow, give the hair a break from products and most importantly heat. But the debate will forever go on whether hair extensions are good or bad, due to a lot of pros and cons. But remember if you do opt to get hair extensions, make sure you get them done by a professional. And make sure the process is not painful or the weave too heavy in your head.

Rashida Jones Calls Michael Jackson a Bit of an Alien

Rashida Jones recalls childhood memories of Michael Jackson in a new interview with Playboy Magazine.
Rashida Jones has had a wild ride.

The "Parks and Recreation" star, who will appear in the upcoming "The Big Year" and "The Muppets," recently gave an interview to Playboy, and from the sound of it, she has lived a life far from ordinary.

It's not too surprising considering the actress, daughter of actress Peggy Lipton and music legend Quincy Jones, grew up around famous people.

"Michael [Jackson] basically grew up with us, so I have a million memories of him," Jones, 35, tells the magazine. "We were at each other's house all the time. He was definitely a little bit of an alien, for sure, and when I was young, it felt as if he was my age, not 18 years older."

One favorite pastime the two shared? Playing pranks.

"Once, my sister, Michael, Emmanuel Lewis and I got in a car with Super Soakers and went by a movie theater and supersoaked the hell out of people waiting in line," Jones shared. "They had no idea they'd just been supersoaked by the King of Pop."

Mariah Carey To Debut Babies In Barbara Walters Interview

The world has yet to see Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s twins, Monroe and Morrocan. However, all of that will soon change on October 21st. Barbara Walters was lucky enough to score an interview with the songstress where she will show her twins off. In the 20/20 interview, Barbara will discuss marriage and becoming parents for the first time.

As of now, the closest that fans have come to seeing a picture of the babies, is a hand that Mariah tweeted stating, “This is baby Monroe saying ‘no pictures dahhhhling’ at 7+1/2 weeks”. Monroe and Morrocan were born back in April and now are six months so this is a pretty big deal.

Will you be sitting down in front of your television this Friday at 10 pm to catch the interview?

Charlize Theron's Africa OUTREACH Project Benefit

Gabby, Sanaa, & Ciara whipped out their best cocktail looks for the charity event in Century City, CA. At the Annenberg Space For Photography, South African actress Charlize Theron's Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) hosted the world premiere of the Randall Slavin Celebrity Photo Series.

The sold-out benefit lecture was a personal, in-depth and behind the scenes tour of the images in Slavin's project "REACH: 24 portraits by Randall Slavin to benefit the CTAOP." REACH is a collection of previously unseen portraits of some of the most influential names of our time including Clint Eastwood, Eddie Vedder, Kobe Bryant and Bill Clinton. And Charlize's charity is committed to reducing the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and sexual violence among African youth by supporting and collaborating with organizations that provide preventive education.

Gabby Union stepped out for the cause in a chic Rachel Roy cream silk dress with belted embellishments and a sheer back:

She paired it with a gold VBH clutch and Giuseppe Zanotti slingbacks. Lovely.

Her girl Sanaa Lathan brought some brightness to fall in this green-yellow one-shoulder number by Rachel Roy (the Green Tea Marquesa Dress) and blue pumps:

Cute.

And Ciara posed it up with photographer Randall Slavin himself and Charlize.

And rocked this cute blush leather mini skirt and matching sheer ruffled blouse.

Would love to know what they were laughing it up about....something stupid probably!

Something to hide Jennifer? 'Lopez shields her face after being caught out with Bradley Cooper'

Jennifer Lopez has never been known to be shy and retiring.
But a woman who is said to be the American Idol judge was surprisingly coy while out with Bradley Cooper yesterday.
She shielded her face as she sat in the passenger seat of Cooper's car as they drove around Los Angeles.

Bradley initially covered his face too but ultimately had to reveal himself to keep his eyes on the road while in control of the jeep.
The woman, who was casual with her hair in a ponytail and wore a light brown sweater was careful about her face not being seen with the Hangover star.
However a source told People magazine that Lopez and Cooper spent time together on Saturday although reps for both Hollywood stars did not respond to MailOnline for a comment on the matter.

The actor picked up the Best Thriller Award at last night's Scream Awards so maybe Lopez was on hand to help him celebrate.
Lopez, 42, and Cooper, 37, have been seen together before but maintained that it was just a professional meeting.
They had dinner at Per Se restaurant in the Big Apple last month.

'After their date in New York, Bradley and Jennifer stayed in touch,' an insider told the magazine.
'She does like his attention and it makes her feel good that he seems so into her. She has a fun time with Bradley and he makes her laugh. She likes him.'
Meanwhile TMZ are reporting that the pair are dating 'casually' but are 'definitely dating'.

Sources told the site that although they are not in a serious relationship and calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend, they are spending quality time together.
Jennifer ended her seven-year marriage to Latin singer Marc Anthony earlier this year and the former couple have three-year-old twins Max and Emme.
Bradley's two-year-relationship with Renee Zellweger came to a halt in March.
He has also been linked with Olivia Wilde and Jennifer Aniston in the past.

And finally from “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES

Now I’m no {insert famous gay fashion guy on one of the 600 reality shows on television} but let me give all the gingers out there some advice: when choosing your attire, avoid pasty looking colors. They don’t mix well.
