A 102-year-old woman has been ' arrested ' and handcuffed by police after officers granted her wish to tick the experience off her bucket list. 
Edie Simms, of St Louis, had made more than 400 items including handmade scarves, bags and glass cases for seniors at the Five Star Senior Center on the southside of the Missouri city.

"A St. Louis County car pulled up next to the police and Edie holds up her hands with the handcuffs on. She's just a riot."

Edie had never set foot in a police car before but said of the experience: "Oh yes, handcuffs and a…

Females in the country are not given much attention in the category of rap as the male dominated industry faces stiff competition.

In recent times, numerous male artistes have been on the frontline to pick awards locally and globally on the said category. Interestingly some female rap artistes have also been doing their best to dilute the male dominated industry and rap category to make a bold statement.
It’s been a long journey as their predecessors Akosua Agyepong etc try their best to hit some soft bars right from the early 80s.

However, for the new generation and frontline commercial rap it’s been the likes of Eno, Eazzy, Luosika and Itz Tiffany pushing the agenda.

Even though the likes of Eazzy and Itz Tiffany have had their fair share of popularity through afrobeats other than core rap or hiphop they are still celebrated as pioneers in the Ghanaian rap game.

Lousika made rap commercial and branded it beautifully however less was heard of her eventually. Eno has bee…

Bill Cosby is trying yet again to get the only criminal case against him tossed — this time with a filing in Pennsylvania by his new lead attorney. His team has filed a motion seeking to dismiss charges of sexual assault in Montgomery County stemming from an alleged rape in 2004. The trail against the veteran comic is set to begin as early as June 5.
The motion from new lead attorney Angela Agrusa and Brian McMonagle recounts how the Montgomery County DA’s office pledged not to prosecute Cosby in 2005 after a lengthy investigation of claims made by former Temple basketball coach Andrea Constand that he had assaulted her at his home. The lawyers say it’s the first of several new pleadings expected in coming weeks challenging both the criminal and civil cases against him.

“When a defendant is prejudiced by the government’s delay in bringing charges, ‘the absence of valid reasons to justify the late filing of charges will mandate the trial court’ to dismiss those charges,” Cosby…

Fans of Bruce Lee are criticising a new biopic of the late martial arts legend, accusing it of "whitewashing and burying" his legacy.
Birth of the Dragon follows the kung fu star's early years in the US and showcases his controversial fight with master Wong Jack Man in 1964.

Directed by George Nolfi, the movie debuted at the Toronto Film Festival.
But many fans have protested against Lee's portrayal, saying the star took "a subdued role in his own biopic".
"Is this a joke? I was here to see Bruce Lee but they put the focus on some white guy," wrote IMDb user ticklegear in a scathing online review.
"Instead of celebrating what a beast Bruce Lee was, they made him out to be some insecure and jealous loser. Seemed more like a character assassination, rather than a biopic."
He added: "A terrible film - I wouldn't recommend it as it tarnishes Bruce Lee's true history with half-baked lies."
Others who caught early previews cri…

Intrepid divers are taking extreme activities to even more bloodcurdling heights. The Crocosaurus Cove, an aquarium and wildlife center in Darwin, Australia offers an attraction that's certainly not for the faint hearted.

ET caught up with the musical icon's younger sister, Tyka Nelson, for a first look at Paisley Park, where she opened up about the fate of Prince's nearly $300 million estate.
