According to New York Time's Page Six, Jay Z and Beyoncé are on the verge of buying a $120m mansion in Beverly Hills. Below is a description of their new home:
As Beyoncé prepares to give birth to twins, she and Jay are planning to move their family to Los Angeles from New York in search of more privacy. They have bid on the breathtaking, newly constructed mansion at 454 Cuesta Way in Bel Air’s private East Gate area.
The place, which is being sold off-market for an asking price of $135 million, has just been completely remodeled from the ground up, and also boasts 11 bathrooms, a media room, space for a recording studio, a garage that can fit 15 cars, separate staff quarters and a big spa with a hot tub, sauna and steam room 

France's richest man has made a £10bn move to combine the Christian Dior fashion house and luxury goods firm LVMH under the same ownership.
Bernard Arnault is the boss of LVMH, which runs Louis Vuitton and Moet champagne, and is also the main shareholder in Christian Dior.
Under the complex deal, the Arnault family will offer to buy the rest of Dior that it does not already own. LVMH will also buy Dior's high-end fashion line for 6.5bn euros (£5.5bn).
That will unite Christian Dior Couture, the 70 year old fashion label which has been worn by film stars from Elizabeth Taylor to Jennifer Lawrence, with the Christian Dior perfume and beauty business already owned by LVMH.
The move was welcomed by investors, who have called for Mr Arnault to simplify the structures of LVMH and Dior.
Shares in Christian Dior jumped about 12% and LVMH shares rose 4% on Tuesday.
Mr Arnault said the move would be an "important milestone" and underlined the confidence of his family group in…

Officials of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) have stormed the private residence of former Youth and Sports Minister Nii Lantey Vanderpuije at Aplaku near Weija in search of alleged stolen State vehicles.
Starrfmonline.com understands the MP for Odododiodoo is out of the country currently, but the taskforce met his wife who refused to let them in because they had no search warrant.
The outspoken lawmaker has confirmed the news to Starr Today’s Bernard Nasara Saibu on Tuesday.
“I don’t have a State vehicle in my possession. I returned the four wheel drive and I was made to buy the car [a Toyota Avensis] I was using,” he said.
He described the operation as “uncivilised and beyond the civilisation of this world… I don’t think it is the intelligent way of handling this thing.”
Mr. Vanderpuije added: “What is even annoying me is that my children had closed from school and they couldn’t enter the house because my wife had closed the gate and didn’t want to allow them in. It…

Beyoncé is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Lemonade, her award-winning visual album, by launching a scholarship program for young women. The singer made the announcement on her website Tuesday.
The Formation Scholars program will kick off in time for the 2017-2018 academic year "to encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious, and confident."

Melanie "Mel B" Brown's restraining order against estranged husband Stephen Belafonte will remain in place following her allegations that he beat, threatened and exploited her during their marriage, a Los Angeles judge ruled on Monday.
Brown initially requested the temporary restraining order against Belafonte after filing for divorce earlier this month. The order will remain in effect through the end of the couple's divorce hearing.
However, Belafonte - who appeared in court for the ruling - will now be allowed supervised visitation with the couple's only biological daughter, Madison. Belafonte - who filed for joint custody of Madison - will get two, four-hour sessions with the 5-year-old per week at the Ness Counseling Center in L.A.
His request for visitation with Brown's daughter Angel, whose father is the star's ex Eddie Murphy, was denied. Brown also shares 18-year-old daughter Phoenix with Murphy.
"We're very grateful and happy,&quo…

In what has to be some of the most sickening video footage ever seen on social media, a 21-year-old father, angry after an argument ensued between him and his partner, hanged his 11-month-old daughter on Facebook Live before hanging himself at a deserted building in Phuket, Thailand on Monday, April 24. 
In the clip, the young father whose name was withheld tied a rope around his baby daughter's neck and dropped her off the side of a building twice after he suspected his girfriend of cheating on him.

He then climbs over the edge of the abandoned building with a noose around his own neck only to change his mind about taking his own life and drags himself back up.

He then pulls his little girl dressed in pink back up too and lays her on his lap. She is clearly not dead. He ends the live broadcast with the little girl crying.

Moments later the man went live on Facebook again, with the little girl laid flat on her belly crying, facing away from the camera. Her father gives her a…

Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka was met with groans as she defended her father's attitude towards women at the G20 women's summit in Berlin.
The First Daughter was taking part in a panel discussion about female entrepreneurs alongside German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and IMF chief Christine Lagarde.
But the audience bristled at her praise for the US president.
The event is part of the G20 women's summit.
An audible groan went up as she told the room her father was a "tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive".
Mr Trump has been criticised over his attitude to women, especially after a tape of him making obscene remarks was released during the presidential campaign.
But Ms Trump said that although she had "heard the criticism from the media and that has been perpetuated", she did not recognise her father in the description and nor would the "thousands" of women he had employed over the years.
"He encourag…

Barack Obamamade his first major appearance since leaving the White House three months ago on Monday. Speaking at the University of Chicago where he was hosted to an event, he avoided criticizing his successor, disappointing anyone who was hoping for a clash between the ex-president andPresident Donald Trump.The highly anticipated appearance happened just days after Trump marked his 100 days in office.
In a nearly 90-minute forum, Obama laid out lessons he learned as a young community organizer in Chicago decades ago and vowed to help bring up the next generation of leaders. I’m spending a lot of time thinking about what is the most important thing I can do for my next job. The single most important thing I can do is to help in any way I can prepare the next generation of leadership, to take up the baton, and to take their own crack at changing the word.” Obama said. Obama, 55, reflected on the fact that when he came to Chicago more than 30 years ago as a 25-year-old, he wa…
