ADELE TO UNDERGO THROAT RELATED SURGERY

British singer Adele is going to have throat-related surgery and is canceling her remaining live appearances for the rest of the year, Columbia Records said Friday.
"She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat and a full recovery is expected," the record company said in a statement. "As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments."
Ticket holders will receive a refund from the point of purchase, the record label said.
Earlier this month, the 2011 American Music Awards announced that Adele, 23, lead artists with four nominations -- for favorite pop or rock female artist, favorite pop or rock album (for "21"), favorite adult contemporary artist, and artist of the year.
In July, the soulful singer's "21" was ranked the year's biggest album to date, with over 2.5 million sold since it was released in late February. Also in July, the disc was a consistent best-seller -- it has spent 10 nonconsecutive weeks at Number One and has never ranked lower than Number Three on the albums chart.-CNN

LIL WAYNE CRITIQUES NICKI MINAJ


In the November cover story of Vibe Magazine Lil Wayne made some interesting comments about the Queen of hip hop. Weezy has high standards for all his artists so it’s no surprise when the CEO of Young Money makes critical statements.
I’m not satisfied with anything she’s done,” Wayne said, referring to Nicki Minaj. “I believe she can do a whole lot more, and I believe she will do a whole lot more. It’s not shocking, and it’s not surprising. It’s quite fitting. But other than that, it’s nowhere near the end.”
Not surprising he would say that. Nicki is currently working on her untitled upcoming project and there’s a lot at stake. The Barbie’s first album “Pink Friday” was a huge success, breaking numerous Billboard records.
The pressure is on, the fire has ignited… Nicki Minaj has to continue making multi-platinum albums to continue holding the crown as the Queen of Hip Hop.

UK DEPORTS 76 NIGERIANS

The UK government, on Wednesday, deported 76 Nigerians.
The conservative-led government of Prime Minister David Cameron had at inception vowed to reduce migration.
The administration also recently imposed a migration cap, focusing on non EU migrants in the UK, including Nigerians.
Mohammed Isa, the Head of Immigration in the Nigerian High Commission in the UK, confirmed the deportation.
He said that the Nigerians affected were deported for various immigration offences and criminal activities.
“The exercise commenced in 2005 following the conclusion of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on migration returns between the two countries,” he said. “It is also in line with global best practices.”
He said officials of the two countries would accompany the chartered plane conveying the deportees to Lagos to ensure that their human rights were protected.
Dr Dalhatu Tafida, Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the UK, said many Nigerians in the UK were surviving through illegal means, including credit card fraud, internet scams and immigration paper forgery.
“UK is no longer a safe haven; it is easier to live in Nigeria without a job than in the UK,” he said. “Unless you have a confirmed job, do not come; make sure your papers are complete and not forged.”

REVEREND KING'S APPEAL SUFFERS SET BACK

An attempt by Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeuko (popularly known as Rev. King) to challenge the judgement of an Ikeja High Court, which sentenced him to death by hanging for murder, has been temporarily dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal, yesterday, dismissed King’s application after it found out that there were irregularities in his motion. The court pointed out that his application was not supported by the original notice of appeal and suggested that it would be better if the application was withdrawn and properly filed.
"We cannot take this application until we see the original notice of appeal," the court said.
The court also said he had filed two different appeals, one dated June 23, 2008 and another December 1, 2010.
Presiding Judge, Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, adjourned the case till April 4, 2012.
King was sentenced to death by hanging, in January 2007, by Justice Joseph Oyewole of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja, for the murder of one Ann Uzor Ezeugo, a member of King’s church.-dailytimes

JUSTIN BIBIER AND SELENA GOMEZ AT AN ICE HOCKEY GAME IN CANADA



The Baby star hugged and kissed girlfriend Selena Gomez throughout an NHL ice hockey game in Winnipeg, Canada, yesterday.
And the Disney star sat on his lap giggling as the hometown Jets and the Carolina Hurricanes slogged it out on the ice.
The loved-up teens wore matching Jets jumpers as they canoodled in a private box at the event.
And they laughed as Justin tickled the 18-year-old beauty, paying scant attention as his favourite team won the match.
Following the game, the 17-year-old superstar celebrated by renting out an entire cinema for a private screening of Real Steel. 
They ate pizza as they enjoyed the Hugh Jackman movie at Winnipeg's SilverCity Polo Park Cinemas.
Justin is becoming a hard act to follow in the boyfriend stakes, after splashing out five figure sums on his epic dates.
A few weeks ago, he spent over £300,000 renting LA's famous Staples Centre for a viewing of the romantic blockbuster Titanic. 
Selena is currently on tour and met up with her Canadian boyfriend for a weekend of relaxation after a gig on Friday.
On Thursday she tweeted: "I had a great day here in Winnipeg. I can't wait to see y'all tomorrow!!"
And Ontario-born Justin was glad to be back on home territory after wrapping up his My World
He tweeted: "Feels good to be back in #CANADA - missed home."
Justin won't have much time to rest before promoting his Christmas album – Under The Mistletoe – due for release on November 1.
These two certainly don't need a sprig of the seasonal plant as an excuse to pucker up. -SUNUK

KIM KARDASHIAN AND KRIS HUMPHRIES CELEBRATE HER 31ST BIRTHDAY IN LASVEGAS

Kim Kardashian is adjusting just fine to newlywed life – for the most part.

The one snag is her living situation, which hasn't been particularly normal, to say the least. She and husband Kris Humphries have been shacking up with other family members since their vows.

"We have to find our home base," Kardashian, who celebrated her 31st birthday at Marquee Nightclub inside The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, said.

Kardashian has been living with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, and Scott Disick, as well as their 22-month-old son in New York while shooting Kim and Kourtney Take New York, which wrapped on Saturday.

"Just imagine we were in this three-bedroom suite with my sister, her boyfriend, the baby, and every morning the baby is playing outside our door and wakes us up early," she said.

Joined by her husband, sister Khloe Kardashian and her husband Lamar Odom, as well mom Kris Jenner, the reality star looked like a happy and relaxed birthday girl in her VIP area, holding hands and kissing Humphries. After leaving the club, the group headed back to Los Angeles, a place the newlywed couple hasn't been in a while.

"I just can't wait to get home," Kim said.-PEOPLE
