Tens of thousands of people around the world have signed an online petition calling for the Pakistani schoolgirl activist Malala Yousafzai, who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban for advocating girls' education, to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
A petition posted on Friday on global petition platform Change.org. by Pakistani-British woman Shahida Choudhary calls upon UK Prime Minister David Cameron and other top leaders to nominate the 15-year-old Pakistani teen rights activist for the most coveted Prize in recognition of her contribution to promote peace.
More than 30,000 people have signed the petition in Britain as part of a global campaign by women's rights advocates to nominate her for Nobel. Similar campaigns have sprung up in Canada, France and Spain.
The petition, addressed to British Foreign Secretary William Hague, Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander and the three main party leaders - Premier David Cameron, Deputy Nick Clegg and Opposition Leader Ed Miliband, says "on October 9, 2012, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in response to her campaign against the destruction of girls schools in Pakistan. In the face of terror, Malala risked her life to speak out for the rights of girls everywhere. Malala's bravery has sparked a global movement and we believe the Nobel Foundation should give her the Nobel Peace Prize."

Few years after her crashed marriage to singer, Soul E, Queen Ure has announced that she would be releasing her album 'very soon'.
Speaking on her new endeavour, she said: "My music is my love for now," "music has always been part of me from childhood. I didn't just take it seriously because I was doing other things. But now, I am doing it professionally. It is not a new field to me and I am out to showcase it to the world. I started music professionally in 2012," She added
Queen Ure, who is the daughter of a former Nigerian minister, Dr Okezie would be releasing a 15-track album entitled 'Popori'.

Lil' Wayne Thinks A 'Pissed Off' Jury Is Why He Lost His Lawsuit.
Lil' Wayne just lost a huge lawsuit he filed against Quincy Jones III over a documentary called The Carter and now owes the defendant over $2 million from a counter-suit too!
Obviously, the jury is to blame because their sole purpose was to rule in the favor of one party, but Weezy thinks he lost because they were particularly "pissed off" that he missed his court appearance to testify.
He was ordered by doctors not to board a plane after suffering several seizures in the air, so he feels that if the judge would have allowed him to testify at a later date, he could have convinced the jury to take his side.
At the very least, the rapper is positive he wouldn't owe $2 million to the filmmaker he sued in the first place!
That could be true, but maybe this is karma's way of telling Wayne that he should take depositions more seriously because that's what the jury had to watch in his absence.
Would U side with him after seeing this?

Sylvester Stallone Denies Nicolas Cage Expendables News.
Looks like the latest Expendables casting news is more like a Cage Aux Folles!
We fell for the news about Nicolas Cage starring in The Expendables 3 just like everyone else, but it turns out that was a false rumor planted on an even falser Facebook page!
Will the real Sylvester Stallone please stand up? Hmm, we thought he'd be taller...
Anyway, Sly is putting the rumors to bed, saying he "has no knowledge of Nic Cage joining Expendables 3."
Aw, too bad! We were really hoping to see him and Steven Seagal go head-to-head!
The good news is the sequel is NOT a rumor! We can expect it in theaters in the next couple years!

That's great news for A$AP, but we can't help wondering whether Chris Brown is PISSED OFF?! Canadia and Breezy needs special permission to leave the country after mercilessly beating Rihanna in 2009 resulted in his conviction.
Then again, just because she shares a California King Bed with CB doesn't mean she thinks he's a more talented artist A$AP!

Skyfall Has Become The Biggest Movie Of The Year In The UK!
The reviews for the latest Bond movie, Skyfall, are
stellar and so are the foreign box office receipts.
Daniel Craig's third outing as Agent 007 has become
the UK's biggest hit of the year, surpassing The Dark
Knight Rises, with $91.07 million in the bank since being
released on October 26.
After two weeks, it has already beaten Casino Royale's
$88.8 million accumulative haul in 2006. More
impressive than those numbers is the movie's
worldwide gross, which stood at $287 million on
Sunday.
Dang! This sequel must be GOOD!
Wonder if Americans will show the world's sexiest
secret agent the same kind of love when his 23rd movie
hits theaters on Friday?

Michael Jackson's Older Brother Jermaine DIVORCES Jackson Family With Name Change!
He wants OUT!
Michael Jackson's older brother Jermaine Jackson filed paperwork in court Tuesday to legally change his name!
Ooh, ooh! We wonder what fabulously exotic new moniker he will choose?
Bartholomew Guggenheim? Vincent van Yo? Henry McTurkeysausage?
How about.... Jermaine Jacksun?
Uhhh, what's the point of that? To distance himself from the family, but just a little?
Sounds like his days of living in MJ's shadow are definitely coming to an end middle!
It's hard to believe a man who named his son Jermajesty would be so cavalier about this sort of thing.
JJ's reps defended the move in a statement, claiming "artistic reasons." It said:responsible!

Carly Rae Jepsen Leads Stars In Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Carly Rae Jepsen is the perfect choice to perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
If you think about it, Call Me Maybe might have been a big hit when the Pilgrims were first meeting the American Indians at the first Thanksgiving!
You know, if there had been phone numbers. And pop music. And radios....
Anyway, we don't know if it's the spirit of thankfulness or the desire to give back to hurricane-devastated New York City, but the singer isn't the only awesome guest this year!
The parade also boasts float passengers like The Wanted, Neon Trees, and Jimmy Fallon and The Roots!
And since the parade is marching down Broadway, you know we're going to get killer musical performances from the ABC's of hit theater: Annie, Bring It On, and Cinderella!
We haven't been this excited about a parade in a long time! Guess we'll definitely have something to be thankful for this year!

Another Twilight Inspired Erotic Fanfic Gets 50 Shades Treatment, Multi-Book Deal.
We suppose it was inevitable!
After the success of 50 Shades of Grey, an erotic novel based loosely on Twilight characters, publishers are desperate for more of the same!!
We're just surprised it took so long!!
Hoping to tap into the same market E.L. James' novels' conquered, Simon & Schuster plan to release two more in a similar vein next year.
Beautiful Bastard and Beautiful Stranger, written by Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings, is set in (what we assume must be) a very kinky office.
Twi-Hard panties will surely moisten each time Boss Edward tosses Assistant Bella onto a Xerox machine and rams his stapler into her supply closet!!
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson never imagined their onscreen love would inspire a diverse array of Soccer Mom porn!
We wonder what's next! Edward and Bella in space?
At Woodstock?
On a 15h Century pirate ship?!
We cannot wait to read them all!
