Liberty Ross- I Want to Work it Out With My Cheating Hubby
We do not know which lawyer she hired, but the picture (above) was taken Tuesday in the lobby of a Century City office building in which a number of divorce lawyers practice -- including disso queen Laura Wasser.
Sources connected with the couplesay ... although Liberty has lawyered up, her end game is NOT divorce. In fact, Liberty and Rupert have already been to a marriage and family therapist. Our sources say, when they were together on Tuesday in Beverly Hill, they were coming out of an office building where they met with the psychologist.
Although Liberty is not wearing her wedding ring, we're told her goal is figuring out why Rupert cheated and getting some sort of assurance he views what he did as a terrible mistake that he won't repeat.
#By the way ... is Liberty hot or what?# ...Just Asking#!

police facilities and churches especially in the northern states and
Abuja.
“Whether he likes it or not, Goodluck
Jonathan must convoke an SNC. There is a need for a national discourse
and dialogue. It is only an SNC that will solve the problem. The
solution to the Boko Haram crisis is to dissolve the government and
convoke an SNC,” Dokubo-Asari told journalists at the meeting with

on time. He said the sect’s “arrogance” was unIslamic.

un-Islamic. The level of bombs they are using is low. If we begin
throwing bombs, nobody will stay in Abuja,” the man who claimed to have

None of the trio of Nigeria’s Goldie, Chris and Ola were able to win the competition this time around after three successive winners have emerged from Nigeria; Kelvin Pam (2009), Uti Nwachukwu (2010) and Karen Igho (2011).
As the final day draws closer this Sunday, August 5, 2012, many believe that any of the six of the remaining housemates; Lady May, Kyle, Keagan, Talia, Prezzo and Wati can win the show. “It is now a game of luck,”
Prezzo and Lady May seem to be the favourite to win the competition. For some, Lady May is gradually taking the place of Goldie, after she was voted out of the house, as some Nigerians believe, courtesy Prezzo.
The housemates formation now has four East African countries and two Southern African countries. This means there is chance of any West African countries winning the competition this around also.
As the final day draws and nearer and the winner of the show is unveiled this Sunday, who among the last six standing; Lady May, Kyle, Keagan, Talia, Prezzo and Wati becomes 300,000 US dollars richer?

Habitual Offender Rapes 95 Year Old Woman!

There has been a nationwide outcry over the president’s decision to release 44,985 prisoners under this programme despite been aware that the last one was grossly abused.
In the 2005 special remission programme, 157 former prisoners re-offended and had to be thrown back in jail.
Mnikelwa Nxele of the KwaZulu-Natal Correctional Services, confirmed that the suspect was recently released in June under the presidential initiative.
An officer of the South African Police Service (SAPS), Vincent Mdunge, confirmed to the press yesterday that the suspect has appeared at the New Hanover Magistrate Court on charges of rape.
He was described as an “habitual offender” who had earlier been declared wanted for his part in an armed robbery case before the rape incident.

Latoya To Family: Stop Fighting In Public!
La Toya -- who's not exactly shy when it comes to publicity -- has been noticeably absent from the media blitz surrounding Michael Jackson's kids and the MJ Estate.
We're told La Toya feels VERY STRONGLY that the most effective way to solve the family problems are NOT to attack each other in public ... but rather hash things out quietly ... and respectfully ... in private.
So whose side is she on? Sources say she's definitely NOT aligned with Janet, Randy, Jermaine and Rebbie ... and wasn't thrilled to see them camera-whoring all over TV this week.
Bottom line -- we're told La Toya wants what's best for Michael's kids ... and feels the quicker the family can stop making a public spectacle of themselves ... the better off the kids will be.

Ghana's Late President Died of Throat Cancer
The British Broadcasting Corporation
reports that 68-year-old Mills, who had been suffering from throat
cancer, died in the capital, Accra a few hours after being taken ill.
“It is with a heavy heart that we
announce the sudden and untimely death of the President of the Republic
of Ghana,” a statement from the Presidency said.

Ghana Gets New President
Mahama pledged to maintain stability as he serves out the remainder of Mills’ term.
“I wish Ghanaians to be assured that all is well,” he said. “We are going to maintain the peace, unity and stability that Ghana is noted for.” He declared a week of national mourning, with flags to be flown at half-mast.
In his recollections of life-changing moments while growing up in Ghana, he once wrote that he was forever changed by his boyhood experiences during a 1966 military coup.
The 53-year-old who had been vice president was born in Bole Bamboi in northern Ghana and holds degrees in history and communications, according to Ghanian media.
He served as a diplomat in Japan in the early 1990s before returning to Ghana, where he was first elected to parliament as a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party.
He later became the chairman of the West Africa Caucus at the Pan African Parliament in Pretoria, before deceased president Mills tipped him for the vice presidency.
Mills died on Tuesday at a hospital in Accra following an unspecified illness. Mahama, according to a recently published memoir, grew up as a child of privilege. In the book, “My First Coup d’Etat — And Other True Stories from the Lost Decades of Africa,” he describes his experiences at an elite boarding school in the capital Accra, where he was drilled in the customs of Ghana’s former colonial power, Britain.
“The history and prestige (of the Achimota boarding school) did not stop me from hating it,” he wrote.
In the book’s first chapter, he vividly recalls the day in 1966 when he learned Ghana’s founding president Kwame Nkrumah was ousted in a military coup.
“When I look back on my life it’s clear to me that this moment marked the awakening of my consciousness. It changed my life and influenced all the moments that followed,” he wrote.
His father, who served as junior minister in Nkrumah’s government, was briefly detained and interrogated by the coup leaders.
Mahama described his journey around Accra, accompanied by an official from his school, in search of his father, who was later released unharmed.
