Melissa Etheridge is Team Brad Pitt.

 The singer was a guest on Sirius XM's "Andy Cohen Live" Monday and spoke out about Pitt's divorce from Angelina Jolie.

"It breaks my heart that anyone would take something as personal as your marriage and your relationship and your rights to your children and do it as purposefully as I see it's being done," Etheridge said. "There's a way to be. I've gone through family courts."
In 2010, Etheridge engaged in a custody battle over twins she shares with her ex Tammy Lynn Michaels. Etheridge has a bit of a past connection to both Pitt and Jolie.

Actor Billy Bob Thornton was engaged to Etheridge's friend, actress Laura Dern, before he married Jolie in 2000.

And Etheridge performed at Pitt's first wedding to actress Jennifer Aniston.

Pitt lost touch with Etheridge, she said, in 2003 after he became involved with Jolie.

"I really hope that he reaches back out because there are a lot of us who h…

Q: How did you deal with people commenting about your body when you were younger, and how do you deal with it now?

Williams: I’ve purposely tuned people out since I was 17. At the time, it was basically newspapers and maybe a website article. Maybe if the web was up back then. Since the day I won the U.S. Open, my very first Grand Slam, I never read articles about myself. If I saw my name mentioned, I’d look away. I looked at the pictures, but that’s pretty much it. I didn’t want to get too cocky, and at the same time I didn’t want to have that negative energy. I don’t know why I did it, but I did it. Ever since then I’ve been really low-key.
People have been talking about my body for a really long time. Good things, great things, negative things.

Yahoo secretly scanned millions of its users' email accounts on behalf of the US government, according to a report.
Reuters news agency says the firm built special software last year to comply with a classified request.
"Yahoo is a law abiding company, and complies with the laws of the United States," the tech firm said in a statement provided to the BBC. The allegation comes less than a fortnight after Yahoo said hackers had stolen data about many of its users.
Yahoo is in the process of being taken over by Verizon Communications in a $4.8bn (£3.8bn) deal. The telecoms provider declined to comment on the report.

President John Mahama has boasted that his government has made “the most massive investment in the road sector in the history of Ghana".

Addressing the Chiefs and people of Yeji during his campaign tour in the eastern part of the Brong Ahafo region, the President said in the last four years, his government has invested almost three billion Cedis in the road sector alone.

He noted that after the completion of the Adomi Bridge, he has asked the Ministry of Transport to give one of the two pontoons, which were ferrying commuters during the bridge reconstruction to Dambai, to aid transportation across the Volta River and the other to Yeji but because of procurement laws, any contractor who will dismantle and re-assemble the pontoons needed to be given a new contract to do so.

The contract, he said, has been awarded for the contractor to go ahead with the work of dismantling and reassembling to be done.

But before the contractor will execute the task, the President has informed …

In a video chat with CNN on Tuesday, Biden said: "He's not a bad man,"
 "But his ignorance is so profound, so profound."


"I bet he couldn't carry his bag 18 holes in one of his own golf courses, speaking of energy," Biden said.
"Can you imagine the President getting up at 3:30 in the morning and tweeting vitriol?"

"Since when does somebody who lives at the top in the world, in a penthouse overlooking the world, be in a position that he doesn't feel any obligation at all to pay any federal income tax to support the military, …

In as much as Ghanaian film lovers know that popular actor, Majid Michel is gifted in so many ways, the last thing they expected him to do, is to minister the word of God to people and deliver those in spiritual bondage.

Members of the public were stunned to see pictures of the ace actor on social media, ministering under the unction of the Holy Spirit.

Award winning actor was spotted at the Zoe Sanctuary with former colleague actors; Pascal Amanfo and Timothy Bentum (Timothy Bentum Ministries).

Majid, known for his ruthless criminal and murder roles in movies has proven to the world that he is a lover of God and wants to spread the light.

This notwithstanding, actor turned man of God, Timothy Bentum is set to bring under one umbrella Actors, Presenters, Professionals and Musicians for Christ (APPMC), a Christian evangelism movement to embark on evangelism targeted at using brands of Ghana’s influential celebrities to win souls for God.

The event is slated to take place at…

Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte has told President Barack Obama to "go to hell" in response to the US leader's criticism of his deadly anti-drug campaign, suggesting that he may eventually decide to "break up with America".
"Instead of helping us, the first to criticise is this State Department, so you can go to hell, Mr Obama, you can go to hell," Duterte said in a speech on Tuesday.
His anti-drug crackdown has left more than an estimated 3,000 suspected drug dealers and pushers dead in just three months, alarming the United Nations, the EU, the US and human rights watchdogs.

In the speech before a local convention attended by officials and business executives, Duterte outlined his disappointments with the US, which has asked his government to stop the widespread killings and has questioned whether human rights are being violated.
He also described Washington as an unreliable ally, saying Filipino forces had not benefited from joint combat e…

Gianni Infantino, president of the World Football's governing body, FIFA has suggested starting up a 48 team World Cup tournament, saying adding 16 more teams to the competition would see a playoff round added prior to the group stages of the world cup, with the 16 defeated nations going home after playing just one match.
According to Infantino, the proposal could take effect from the 2026 World Cup.

"The idea is that 16 teams would qualify directly to the group stage and the other 32 would play in a preliminary phase, in the country where the World Cup is being played," Infantino told reporters at an event in Bogota, Colombia on Tuesday. 
"They would play for the remaining 16 places. It means we continue with a normal World Cup for 32 teams, but 48 teams go to the party."
One of Infantino's proposals while coming out for election  was to increase the number of teams competing in FIFA World Cups to 40 after Qatar 2022.
 "These are ideas to find t…

Amber heard it and said:

"Last night was like, they did the commentary, and I, it was a point in the dance where I had to lift my leg up and Maks dipped me & [Julianne] said, 'Oh, I'm uncomfortable,' and instantly I felt, I did feel body shamed."

Justin Timberlake is a talented singer, dancer, producer, actor and, possibly, time traveler. That last part is still speculation, but Graham Norton has some pretty solid evidence to back it up. 
According to E! Online, when Timberlake stopped by The Graham Norton Show with Anna Kendrick and Daniel Radcliffe, the host pointed out that he has an eery historical doppelgänger from 1870. 


Timberlake was a great sport about the picture, even going so far as to mimic the man's facial expression (or, you know, make the same face he made in 1870, if that time travel theory pans out). 
Norton also pointed out some historical doppelgängers Radcliffe's-a trio of old ladies, who somehow look like elderly women and 12-year-old Daniel Radcliffe at the same time. 
"That's me as an old lady," Radcliffe joked. "It's me as an old lady as a young boy."

A well-known Ghanaian medical philanthropist Dr David Abdulai, has passed on after battling stage-4 thyroid cancer.

He died on Sunday at the Tamale Teaching Hospital at age 65.

Dr Abdulai, who left behind a wife and three children, was operating a private clinic where he provided medical care for the poor and mentally ill at no cost.

"Services in this clinic are aimed primarily at the poor and destitute. Purely for love of God and neighbour and are ABSOLUTELY FREE. We depend unconditionally on divine providence," says a signage at his Shekhina Clinic in the Northern region.

President John Mahama had to step in to cover his medical cost at the Ghana Sweden Medical Centre and the 37 Military Hospital when it became evident that his family could not bear his medical bills.

At a point his friends had to launch an online ‘appeal for funds’ known as ‘Go fund me’ to raise money for his upkeep and medical treatment.

“Choggu, as he was affectionately called, remained positive a…

Rumors that Bill Clinton once fathered a child with a prostitute have reemerged, as the now 30-year-old man is trying to have the former president recognize him as his son. The man, Danney Williams started a Facebook page in December, under the new name Danney Williams-Clinton, with the intention of getting the Clintons' attention. The claim was initially made in the late 1990s by Williams' mother and in 1999, a DNA test reportedly conducted by Star magazine said that Danney couldn't be Clinton's son but the result of the test wasn't really clear.

Danney's story first garnered international attention in 1992, as then-Arkansas Gov Clinton was getting ready to run for presidency.
The Globe interviewed Danney's mother, a former prostitute named Bobbie Ann Williams, who gave them the exclusive story of how she allegedly met and began an affair with Clinton in 1984.

She said when she was 24 years old in 1984, Bill Clinton went out for a run one day in Lit…
