Republicans were fleeing Donald J. Trump after a video of him demeaning women was made public last Friday, but less than a week later some are already starting to come back to the Republican presidential nominee.
Senator Deb Fischer, a Republican from Nebraska who said on Saturday that Mr. Trump’s remarks were “disgusting” and that he should drop out of the race, said on Tuesday that she still planned to vote for Mr. Trump.

“Like most Nebraskans, I am fully committed to defeating Hillary Clinton,” Ms. Fischer told a Nebraska radio station. “I support the Republican ticket and I plan to vote for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence on November 8th.”

Ms. Fischer reiterated that she found Mr. Trump’s remarks unacceptable, but added, “I never said that I wasn’t voting for our Republican ticket.”
Mr. Trump has been raging against Republicans who revoked their endorsements of him this week, warning in a series of tirades on Twitter that their lack of loyalty wold cost them at the polls on Election…

BET is upping the episodes of Being Mary Jane to squeeze more out of Gabrielle Union's contract, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The actress claims the network agreed it would never produce more than 13 episodes per season, but now is trying to tape two 10-episode seasons back-to-back to "cram all of the episodes into a single season in order to fraudulently extend the term of Ms. Union's contract."  
Union's attorney Martin Singer claims the network is combining seasons four and five to avoid paying his client's contractual raise and to extend its option to engage her services for another year. Under her contract, Union is set to receive $150,000 per episode for season four and $165,000 per episode for season five.

The actress is suing the network and Breakdown Productions for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation.
At the time she was approached for Being Mary Jane, Union was a movie star and did…

Paris Saint-Germain and Ivory Coast defender Serge Aurier has been praised after "saving the life" of Mali forward Moussa Doumbia on Saturday. 
After Doumbia was knocked unconscious in a challenge with Sunderland's Lamine Kone, Aurier intervened to stop the Rostov player swallowing his tongue.
Mali's manager Alain Giresse added that he spoke to Aurier after the game to thank him for his "superb reactions".

Ivory Coast went on to win the home 2018 World Cup qualifier 3-1 in Bouake.
"All the players realised that Doumbia was choking and was about to swallow his tongue," Giresse told French radio station RMC.
"That's when Aurier, with one of our players, quickly put him on his side and pulled out his tongue, because he was about to lose his life."
However, Aurier later caused controversy by making a throat-slit gesture towards the crowd after his side's third goal. 
The celebration was the latest in a string of incidents involving th…

A production company behind the latest Star Wars movie has been fined £1.6m after Harrison Ford broke his leg on set.
The actor was injured in June 2014 at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire as he reprised his role as Han Solo.
He was struck by a metal door on the set of the Millennium Falcon spaceship.
Foodles Production (UK) Ltd, owned by Disney, pleaded guilty earlier this year to two charges brought by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Following the incident during the filming of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Mr Ford was airlifted to hospital for surgery.
The Hollywood superstar was reprising his role as Han Solo for the film when he was hit by the door, which had been designed to mimic the action of spaceship on the original set.
'Lack of communication'
At a previous hearing, the court was told the star could have been killed in the incident.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said the power of the rapidly-closing door meant Ford was hit with a force comparable to th…

An American mother of two, DeAnna Rivas is planning a three way wedding after her husband permitted her to get a female lover, who now shares the same bed with them. According to reports, the fulfilled woman said it took over four years to convince her husband to grant her request, after explaining to him that there was a hole in the marriage that only a relationship with a woman could fill.

Deanna and her husband Manny had initially experimented with another woman, before settling for Melissa, whose youthful good looks and stunning personality excited the couple to permanently have her as part of the family.

Republicans who served top roles in President George W. Bush's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) are endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. 
The 13 former officials backed the Democrat in an open letter Wednesday, led by former EPA head Christine Todd Whitman and former Transportation Secretary Mary Peters.
"We believe in effective government, a society of hope and optimism balanced with realism, and a politics of civility and honesty. None of these values are present in Donald Trump's campaign," the ex-officials wrote.
The endorsement comes near the end of a presidential campaign in which dozens upon dozens of long-time Republicans have denounced their party's candidate.
Clinton has pounced on the defections in an attempt to paint Trump as too extreme for the GOP, hoping to push voters away from him.

The Wednesday letter follows an open declaration in August from 50 foreign policy experts who served in GOP admini…

President Barack Obama has vowed to be a regular presence on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton, but he took the opportunity at a rally Tuesday to settle a different issue: whether he smells like sulfur -- as in, like a demon.
"I was reading the other day. There's a guy on the radio who apparently said me and Hillary are demons, said we smell like sulfur. Ain't that something?" Obama joked at a Clinton rally in Greensboro, North Carolina.  Then, leaning over to take an exaggerated whiff of his arm, Obama cracked, "Now, I mean, come on people!" Obama was responding to the claim by Alex Jones, founder of the conspiracy website "InfoWars" and host of "The Alex Jones Show" on radio, who warned viewers on his program that both the President and the Democratic presidential nominee carried the scent of demons.  "Hillary, reportedly, I mean, I was told by people around her that they think she's demon-possessed, okay? I'…

Former Disney channel star Selena who went to rehab in 2014, on August 30 this year announced that she was taking a break from music to manage “anxiety, panic attacks and depression.” and canceled her 34 remaining tour dates.

“She was supposed to be recording, but she hasn't told anyone when she’ll be back in the studio,”

David Bowie and Prince are new entries in the latest list of top-earning dead celebrities to be compiled by Forbes.
Prince's pre-tax income from 1 October 2015 to 1 October 2016 is estimated at $25m (£20.5m) by the business magazine, putting him fifth in the list.
Bowie, meanwhile, is ranked at 11th for an estimated income of $10.5m (£8.5m).

Both, however, are dwarfed by pop star Michael Jackson, who tops the list once again with a record-breaking estimated income of $825m (£672.8m).
The figure, said Forbes, was "the most any celebrity has ever earned in a single year" - a result of his half of a music publishing catalogue being sold for $750m (£611m).

There are 11 men and only two women in Forbes' list of top-earning dead celebrities  Jackson held a 50% stake in Sony ATV Music Publishing - famous for its library of Beatles tunes - as part of a business partnership that began in 1995.

Comic actor Abraham Kofi Davies a.k.a Salinko who is hoping to become a Member of Parliament on the ticket PPP has spoken about the shocking disqualification of his flag bearer Dr. Paa Kwasi Nduom.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Peacefmonline.com, the ‘Bantama Kwasi Boakye’ actor said it is very painful that the Electoral Commission has taken Dr. Nduom out of the presidential race after he has spent so much money campaigning for about eight months now.
Salinko who is currently the Parliamentary candidate for Atwima Kwawoma constituency in the Ashanti Region on the ticket of the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP), said he couldn't believe it and he has still not been able to come to terms with the fact that Dr. Ndoum has been dropped by the EC.

"It is sad and it is very painful because the man genuinely wants to serve Ghana and he has vision for the country. Even though he is very a wealthy man, he does not want to see people suffer that is why he decided to go …

Eight people were  killed and at least 15 wounded on Wednesday in a car bomb attack in Nigeria's northeastern Borno state, according to authorities.
Police said the body of the suspected female bomber was believed to have been among others found on the roadside in Maiduguri, the capital of northeast Borno state.

It was not immediately clear if she was counted in the official death toll.

Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, has said the FBI is investigating whether Russia was behind a hack on his private email. 
Mr Podesta also suggested Republican nominee Donald Trump's campaign was given advance notice of the breach. 
 His remarks come after WikiLeaks published a trove of his hacked emails.

The top adviser to Mrs Clinton said the enquiry was part of a wider probe into hacks on the Democratic Party by groups with Russian ties. 
"I've been involved in politics for nearly five decades," Mr Podesta told reporters aboard the Clinton campaign plane. 
"This definitely is the first campaign that I've been involved with in which I've had to tangle with Russian intelligence agencies, who seem to be doing everything they can on behalf of our opponent." 
The longtime aide to Mrs Clinton pointed to a tweet by Mr Trump's adviser Roger Stone in August that said Mr Podesta's "time in the barrel" was coming.

The world's most popular transgender Caithlyn Jenner will have no choice but to use the men's bathroom if she comes to North Carolina according to the state's governor, Pat McCrory.

McCrory, on Tuesday defended the state’s anti-LGBT law, and blamed “liberals” for “a major change in culture” that has forced Republicans to respond with the legislation forming an anti-LGBT law.

North Carolina’s anti-LGBT law passed in March, removes anti-discrimination protection for LGBTQ people and mandates that people use the public bathrooms that correspond to the sex they were assigned at birth.

 “In the private sector in North Carolina, she can go wherever the private sector wants her to,” Governor
McCrory said in Tuesday’s debate between McCrory and his Democratic opponent, state Attorney General Roy Cooper.

“If she’s going to a shower facility at [University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill] after running around the track, she’s going to use the men’s shower.”

“If you’re a man, yo…

Janet Jackson is one glowing mom-to-be. 
The 50-year-old singer is officially confirming her pregnancy and showing off her growing baby bump exclusively with PEOPLE.

“We thank God for our blessing,” says the star.

After Jackson announced in April she was postponing her Unbreakable World Tour in May to focus on “planning” a family with her husband Wissam Al Mana, sources confirmed to PEOPLE the star was expecting her first child.

Over the last few months, Jackson has kept a low profile and was last spotted shopping for baby buys at London’s Back in Action furniture store.

“She is super excited about her pregnancy and is doing extremely well,” a source close to the Jackson family previously told PEOPLE. “She actually feels very good about everything.”

A 35-year-old man has been arrested by the Awutu Police Station in the Central Region for buying Kenkey and fish on credit to the tune of GH¢170 over a month period.
The food seller, Afia Tettehwaa, narrated to Joy News that a construction worker, Kofi Annan, who she has not seen in the area before approached her pleading to be given some balls of kenkey and fish which he would pay for at the end of the month when he was paid.
She said he looked pitiful so she agreed and Mr Annan received the package of kenkey and fish at GH¢7 for 30 days but when he was approached at the end of the month for the money he said he has not been paid.

Madam Tettehwaa said she was angered by the development resulting in the decision to cut the supply until such a time that he would pay the money.
She said the last time she saw him was after eight months yet he could not produce the money.
He told me he has changed jobs and that he is now working with the Highways Department because his previous job …

The military officer in one of the widely circulated Kalyppo selfies on social media is under investigation by the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) for possible breach of regulations, Army PRO has said.
Colonel Aggrey Quarshie told myjoyonline.com Wednesday that Private Osei Owusu of the Ghana Military Police is responding to questions regarding his act which is deemed as an affront to the Armed Forces Regulations Act of 1962.
He explained that pictures taken using “military accoutrement” are technically the property of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), saying officers who want to use them for personal purposes must apply for clearance.
“Your picture does not belong to you and you are not supposed to do anything with it,” he said.
A picture of Private Owusu dressed in his military police outfit clutching the Kalyppo drink circulated social media, barely three days after a picture of the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo sipping the fruit juice went vi…

US President Obama got heckled by a couple of Bill Clinton 'rape' protesters as he addressed a crowd at the White Oak Amphitheater in Greensboro, North Carolina, by two young people wearing 'Bill Clinton Rapist' t-shirts. The president appeared to find the whole thing funny, pausing at length while Secret Service kicked them out. 
He said: 'You know, this is the great thing about politics in America, it takes all kinds,' he laughed. 'Folks will just do all kinds of stuff. Now where was I?'

 But the heckling didn't stop there as the protesters kept interrupting him so he tried again.
'You know, say, those are some folks who – they were auditioning for a reality show,'

Milhouse is a genius. Really.
On Monday, Bengt Holmström of MIT and Oliver Hart of Harvard were announced as the joint winners of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Economics (for work on contact theory and how to evaluate whether things should be government run or privately owned).

But eagle-eyed Simpsons fans were not surprised. Milhouse Van Houten predicted the win in the 2010 Simpsons season premiere via a Nobel Prize betting poll he was in with Lisa, Martin Prince and computer (Yes, they really were in a thing).

The episode's plot revolves around Krusty the Clown being scammed into thinking he won the Nobel Peace Prize so he'll travel to Europe where he is arrested and tried by the International Court of Justice for deplorable behavior. Bart and Homer save him by "proving" that Krusty helped win the release of Nelson Mandela (though he really just wanted a potato chip).

Soon after the announcement, MIT tweeted out the connection between the Simpsons and Holmström:

First lady Michelle Obama’s celebrated passion for empowering girls around the globe to become educated is the subject of a CNN Films documentary to air this week in more than 200 countries. The project received a rousing sendoff Tuesday at a White House screening that included Meryl Streep.
“We Will Rise: Michelle Obama’s Mission to Education Girls Around the World” will air beginning this week on all CNN networks – a first for the cabler. It is co-produced by the same CNN team that three years ago created “Girl Rising,” a doc about nine girls from developing countries in pursuit of their dreams. “We Will Rise” bows in the U.S. on Wednesday.

“This past June we had the opportunity to revisit the critical topic of girls’ education when we followed the first lady during visits to Morocco and Liberia,” said CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker. He said it resulted in the new film about young women with big dreams.

Obama said the film is an important reminder of the courage and det…

Thousands of residents in Nima poured out onto the streets, on Tuesday, October 11, 2016, to welcome the 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to the Ayawaso East constituency, as he resumed his tour of the Greater Accra Region.

Ordinarily a journey of some 5 minutes, from Maamobi to Nima, it took the NPP delegation some 3 hours to make this same journey, as human and vehicular traffic, described as unprecedented in the political history of Nima, ensured that the NPP flagbearer was given a tumultuous, rousing welcome.

Amidst chants of “Nana oo Nana”, “Mahama, Time Aso”, to wit “Mahama, your time is up”, and “change is coming”, market women abandoned their wares, business owners came out of their shops, whilst commercial drivers parked their vehicles, all eager to catch a glimpse of the NPP flagbearer

As the chants echoed loudly across Nima, thousands of onlookers rushed towards the principal streets, to hail the arrival of the NP…

Kim Kardashian who has been silent since she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris is tired of the media and everyone else saying she lied about the incident and is now suing Media TakeOut for spearheading the story that she made up the whole robbery incident.

According to TMZ, Kim filed a suit against the website Tuesday because of three posts that claimed she staged the robbery. Media TakeOut stated various conspiracy theorists on social media as evidence, one post alleged that the robbery was a setup.

Another post stated that Kim actually let the robbers in herself.
While the third one discussed the insurance claim, saying that “If she faked the robbery ... she just committed a FEDERAL CRIME."

Kim’s legal team apparently tried to get the site to remove the posts; but they didn’t and now she is taking them to court.
Now, that she has filed a lawsuit against them, the posts have been removed.
