MISSING ETHIOPIAN OLYMPIC TORCH BEARER FOUND!
Missing 15 YEAR-OLD Ethiopian boy Natnael Yemane who was part of the Olympic torch relay has been found after going missing from his hotel in Nottingham.
Police said he left the Jurys Inn, Waterfront Plaza, at about 21:15 BST that evening and did not return.
Officers say, he was found "safe and well" in the city on Friday evening.
He was one of 20 young people selected through Locog's International Inspiration programme who ran in two teams on Thursday.
One torchbearer was selected from each of the 20 countries which are part of the programme, from Azerbaijan to Zambia.
Police had been concerned because his English is limited and he was described as not being "street-wise".
The good news is he's been found safe and well.
CHRIS BROWN'S MUM CONDOLES WITH RIHANNA ON THE DEATH OF HER GRANDMAA

Rihanna's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's manager/mum Joyce Hawkins felt the singer's pain, offering her words of condolence after hearing the awful news about her Grandma's death to cancer.
Joyce took to twitter and tweeted,
"Angel May God Be With You And Your Family In Your Time Of Sorrow. Love You Angel."
Which prompted Rihanna to reply,
"mombreezy thank you! Love u mama."
The sad grammy award winning star, who delayed a recent trip to Europe to spend time with her family and visit sick Clara 'Dolly' Braithwaite in hospital in New York, appears to have addressed breaking reports from Barbados, which suggest her grandmother has died.
At a Swedish music festival where fans were not too impressed with her performance on Saturday (30Jun12), Rihanna had her late grandma on her mind, tweeting,
"Goodbye grangranDolly get your beauty rest until I see you..." and then adding minutes later, "grangranDolly that is all."
She admitted it was tough to leave her family as she jetted off to London the following day, tweeting, "I didn't wanna leave NY! I kept missing my flights."
One angry fan wrote, "Who the f**k allowed her on stage in this state?"
Another called her performance on Saturday night "disgusting and shameful".
Many fans walked out shortly after Rihanna began her set, after waiting for the headliner to hit the stage, and she upset fans who stayed by dedicating her version of Bob Marley's Redemption Song to Norway, even though she was performing in Sweden. She had performed in Oslo, Norway the night before (29Jun12).
Reports from Barbados suggest Braithwaite's body will be flown home to the islands from New York by air ambulance.
May her soul Rest In Perfect Peace.
May her soul Rest In Perfect Peace.

WHAT?! ETHIOPIA'S 15 YEAR-OLD OLYMPIC TORCH BEARER DISAPPEARS AFTER HIS LEG!
5ft 8" tall 15 year old Natnael Yemane, an Ethiopian, carried the Olympic torch as part of the International Inspiration programme, a games sponsored initiative to encourage children at home and abroad to do more physical exercise.
But shortly after completing his section of the relay in Nottinghamshire, he has disappeared and police are looking for him.
It is not believed any foul play has taken place and officials believe he has family in London.
Officers said he left the hotel where he was staying, the Jurys Inn, Waterfront Plaza, Nottingham, at around 9.15pm yesterday and did not return.
Natnael is described as black, , and of thin build. He has short cropped hair and was last seen wearing faded dark jeans, a green and yellow camouflage hooded jacket and black trainers with a white stripe.
It has already help 12.9 million children and young people have actively participated in sport, physical education and play as a direct result of International Inspiration – many for the first time in their lives.
Police said:
"We are concerned for Natnael as he does not speak very good English and is not thought to be streetwise. He does have family in London, but we need to find him and make sure he is safe and well."
The programme embodies the promise made by Seb Coe, the Chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog), at the Singapore bid in 2005 to "reach young people all around the world and connect them to the inspirational power of the Games so they are inspired to choose sport".
Around 113,000 teachers, coaches and young leaders have been trained to lead sport, physical education and play in their schools and communities, learning new skills.
There are 273 International Inspiration overseas schools linked with 273 schools in the UK.
Working with policy-makers, practitioners and participants, International Inspiration is working to create long-term, transformational change for young people around the world through and beyond the Games in 2012.

XMAS DAY CHURCH BOMBER BOKO HARAM SUSPECT "KABIRU SOKOTO" RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL UNCONSCIOUS!!!
 |
| Kabiru Sokoto |
Main suspect of Christmas day bombing of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalla, near Abuja, on December 25, 2011, Kabiru Sokoto, is receiving treatment at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital (AUTH), Gwagwalada. According to Leadership Newspapers.
Sources at the hospital told that the suspect was brought to the hospital unconscious by some soldiers.
Islamist sect Boko Haram had claimed responsibility for the December 25 church bombing that claimed scores of lives. Kabiru Sokoto, the prime suspect, was arrested by security operatives, but he escaped from custody and was later rearrested in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State.
30 year old member of the family of Umaru Jabbi of Gagi village, Sokoto South local government area of Sokoto State, Kabiru was instrumental in the visit of the late national leader of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf, to Gagi village in February 2009, during which Kabiru was declared leader of the sect in Sokoto State.
Kabiru's legs were chained to the bed. and the entrance of the ward padlocked!
The CMD of AUTH, SSS however, maintained that they were not aware that the suspect was brought to the hospital, adding that he would get the details today.
None of the doctors or nurses on duty was willing to speak. The administrative block of the hospital was deserted and no staff member was seen around.
According to SSS's Orgar,
“I don’t know where you got that information from. I am sure that information is not from the State Security Service. Whoever is giving you that information, you should go and meet that person for confirmation. I don’t have any idea of what you are talking about, sir.” She said.
Prodded further to confirm if Kabiru Sokoto was still alive, she said, “I say I don’t have any information of what you are talking about, sir. Thank you.’
We just hope there's no fowl play from any quarters.

JACKSON 5 BACK TOGETHER - UNITY TOUR 2012...without Michael though!
Though, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon may be the Jacksons that'll be performing onstage in their just-launched “Unity Tour 2012″...they still say, MICHAEL will definitely be stealing the show as usual.
On "Good Morning America show Tito said:
“He’s on stage with us in spirit as well,”
“It’s very emotional.
30 years after the brothers went separate ways with their careers, they are back, playing to packed houses on their just-launched “Unity” tour that will take them to more than 20 cities across North America this summer.
Jermaine told GMA:
“What brought us back together was time and the fans.”
“It’s the music that gets us going.”
of Michael? Jermaine said:
“It’s very hard.”
“You’re singing these songs and all of a sudden something hits you.”
The reunion marks the first time all four brothers have toured together since their 1985 “Victory Tour.” Their set includes hits that led them to become the first group ever to have their first four singles hit number 1 on the Billboard Charts, songs like “ABC” and “I Want You Back,” songs they’ve had to adapt in Michael’s absence.
Jackie had this to say,
“No one can take Michael’s part but we’re doing a great job.”
“We’re all sharing parts together.”
Marlon said:
“This was our launching pad,”
“We used to come to amateur night at the Apollo and try to make a name for ourselves. So we wanted to come and give something back.”
And as it relates to what Beyonce wrote to Michael Jackson
“She’s incredible,” Jermaine said “It’s a great feeling because we worked so hard. Our whole thing was to work hard and to achieve and I guess it shows. We’re very happy that people have admired and loved the things we’ve done over the years.”
“We thank our parents,” said Marlon. “Our parents saw that we could entertain and know that we had enjoyed it so they made sure that we stuck with it and this was the outcome.”
” My whole thing is you’re a child,” said Marlon, echoing comments made by Janet Jackson, who publicly advised her niece to wait to start a career in show business. ” Enjoy your childhood and once you become an adult you’ll be an adult for the rest of your life, so enjoy your childhood. ”
Great advice!

Well, we hope the social network's back for good.
WILL DRAKE & CHRIS BROWN TAKE THE $10MILLION USD TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES IN THE BOXING RING?
If Chris Brown and Drake agree to settle their differences in a boxing ring, then the money offered is $10Million USD...whoever wins gets $9million and the loser can make do with the remaining $1MillionUSD.
In Aki's words:
"The audience needs their imagination captured as much as the fighters do. These are two very important rap artists who will only do this for a big ticket number."
"This is something that should be attractive enough to get them in the ring."
Will the duo take the offer? Your guess' as good as ours.
