 A 16-year-old girl was so outraged after a Facebook dispute with her best friend that she murdered the young girl by stabbing her in the back 65 times.

MetroNewsUK reports that Erandy Elizabeth Gutierrez was furious after she received messages that alerted her to the fact that her friend had uploaded naked pictures of the pair to the social network. She told her friend, Anel Baez, also 16, that she would be lucky to survive until the end of the year.
‘It may seem that I am very calm, but in my head I have killed you at least three times,’ Gutierrez wrote to Baez via Twitter.

But shouldn't they all worship me? Kim Kardashian covers her bikini body with maxi dress to visit local shrine

Let's face it, she's used to receiving worship, whether it be from her many fans or doting fiance Kanye West; so Kim Kardashian must enjoy the view from her pedestal by now.
However on Sunday, the 33-year-old decided to peel herself away from Phang-Nga Beach in Phuket to do a little tour of local attractions, and that meant visiting a local shrine.
Kim shared three pictures with single word captions 'enlightenment,' 'blessed' and 'etiquette,' the latter one accompanying a snap of her removing shoes before entering a temple.
'Enlightenment!' It's not all work, work, work for Kim Kardashian as she shared some pics from a Thailand tour on Monday
The mother-of-one was certainly dressed in a respectful manner, having chosen a white maxi dress with a high neck that was fitted to her but only loosely.
She certainly didn't seem to mind taking off her sandals as a matter of respect.
The Kardashians are holidaying in Thailand to film scenes for their reality show.
The entire family flew out to Thailand on Wednesday, although Kim's fiancé Kanye West, who begins the Australian leg of his Yeezus Tour on May 2 at Perth Arena, was absent.

'Ladies and gentlemen, you may have noticed we were just hit by lightning': Pilot's extraordinary announcement to terrified passengers after plane was struck by THREE bolts at once

.

         A bright flash of light and booming noises in a cramped seat thousands of feet in the air would be enough to put off even the most hardened fliers. But passengers landing at Birmingham airport on Friday afternoon were led by example as their captain coolly steered them through three lightning blasts and left it until afterwards to calmly explain what happened. Passengers spoke of a 'massive bang' as one of the bolts struck the body of the KLM service from Amsterdam, but the blasts had no effect on the landing, which proceeded as normal to touch down at 4.30pm.

 

Ex Factor: Cheryl Cole returns to TV with support from Ashley Cole and Tre Holloway

CHERYL COLE is banking on the ex factor to make her telly return a spectacular success.
x factor, simon cowell, cheryl cole returning to X Factor, cheryl cole, ashley cole, divorce, tre holloway, American x factor, louis walsh, girls aloud, cheryl sacked, simon baby, fired, geordie accent,
The pop star has signed a £1.5million deal with boss Simon Cowell, 54, to come back to ITV talent show The X Factor.
Now the Daily Star Sunday can reveal the singer has already invited former hubby Ashley Cole, 33, and ex-boyfriend Tre Holloway, 28, to hang out with her backstage to help calm her nerves.
Despite their divorce, Chelsea and England ace Cole was one of the first people Cheryl, 30, ­texted about her return.
She gave him the big news before it was even officially announced.
A source close to the star said: “She will be a bag of nerves backstage at the shows and she knows Ashley and Tre have always been great at calming her down.
“She’s still friends with both of them and will have them on her guest list to hang out with. They’ve both already agreed to come. Most people think it’s amazing that Cheryl wants them at various live shows to put her at ease before she goes in front of the cameras – but they have said yes!
“Cheryl texts and talks to both of them regularly so it won’t be at all awkward having them around”
A showbiz source
“Tre will be at nearly all the shows and Ashley is ready to step in on the days when he won’t be able to get there.”
New dad Cowell will be busy with his ­ girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 37, and new baby son Eric, who are expected to be at all the shows, so Cheryl is drafting in other men to lavish her with attention.
Our source added: “Simon used to spend all his time hanging out with Cheryl in her dressing room but it seems those days are over.
“Cheryl is really nervous about the shows – especially after the American X Factor turned out to be a disaster for her.
“So having two men there who know her really well will make her feel more comfortable and secure.
“Cheryl texts and talks to both of them regularly so it won’t be at all awkward having them around.”

Welcome to the family! Simon Cowell asks ex Sinitta to be baby Eric's godmother

SIMON Cowell's close relationships with his exes leave many baffled – we'd cringe at running into a former flame in the supermarket, never mind bringing them on holiday.
Sinitta, Eric Cowell, Simon Cowell
But The X Factor boss has gone a step even further with his relationship with ex Sinitta – and has essentially welcomed her into the family.
The So Macho singer has revealed that her former boyfriend has asked her to be his son's godmother.
The bonkers star, famous for THAT palm tree dress on The X Factor, tweeted: "Wanted you to be the first (well after my mom and children) to hear about my next Serious New Role..Drum Roll ....
"At Mothers Day lunch with Mom, Magdalena, Zac, @JasonJGale @SimonCowell I was asked to be GodMother to Baby Eric !!!X"

“I was asked to be GodMother to Baby Eric !!!X”
Sinitta
Along with the excited tweets, Sinitta shared a snap of herself staring down and holding Eric, who looked content swaddled in a cosy blanket.
While naming your ex as your firstborn's godmother sounds positively bizarre to us, it could be that Si was just returning the favour.
Mr Cowell is godfather to both of Sinitta's adopted kids, Magdelena and Zac – so it was kind of his duty to bestow the same honour on his pal.
Sinitta, 45, dated Simon, 54, on and off for twenty years, and admitted that she felt "betrayed" when he told her that girlfriend Lauren Silverman was pregnant.
The frequent X Factor guest confessed: "I was completely and utterly stunned. I was in such a daze, to the point where I wondered if I was dreaming it.

New romance or new record deal? Casey Batchelor parties with will.i.am all night

IT seems like will.i.am may have found his answer to No1 hit Where Is the Love?
casey batchelor, will.i.am, lee ryan, big brother, casey batchelor will.i.am
And the fair maiden to have stolen his heart is none other than homegrown beauty Casey Batchelor.
In terms of the notoriety of her arm candy, the Celebrity Big Brother babe has catapulted from Iceland frozen dinners to A-list caviar.
Casey, 29, and Black Eyed Peas frontman, 39, were spied partying together, and I Gotta Feeling we could be looking at the UK's answer to Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
As the music at DSTRKT was pumping too loud for our undercover fly-on-the-wall to report back the level of flirtation, we're yet to confirm if the pair were whispering sweet nothings or simply securing Casey's debut single.
Or maybe a combo of both, with the Essex glamourpuss purring Don't Phunk with My Heart following her love dramas with CBB flop Lee Ryan.
casey batchelor, will.i.am, lee ryan, big brother, casey batchelor will.i.am
Chatting exclusively to Daily Star Online, a bartender at the central London celeb hotspot said the duo looked closer than ever.
The insider revealed: "I saw Casey partying with Will last Wednesday. I'm a big fan of The Voice so recognised him immediately.
"They seemed to be sharing lots of in-jokes and were laughing a lot throughout the evening.
"I thought she might have just popped over to say hi, but she was drinking at his table all night."
Before hitting the club, busy bee Casey had been partying at the Bloggers Love event and also dined at Chotto Matte with gal pals.
Looking slick in a curve-hugging black dress, the aspiring comedienne covered her infamous 34GGs as she went all Beckham chic on us.
In an interview last week, Casey spoke of her former 'romance' with Will that leaked while she was locked up on the Channel 5 show in January.

Cress stress: Prince Harry's mate hits out at pressure on royal girlfriend

A FRIEND of Prince Harry has revealed the “terrible” pressure on royal girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
cressida bonas, prince harry, royal, girlfriend, inge solheim, couple, marriage, royalty, news, queen, british
Inge Solheim spoke out after the pair were criticised for taking a ski break in repressive Kazakhstan.
The Norwegian called Cressida a “young girl in love” who was desperate for time alone with her boyfriend.
It is the first time one of Harry’s ­circle has spoken about their ­romance.
And it confirms our reports Cressida is being lined up as a royal bride.
Harry, 29, and Cressida, 25, were slated for visiting Kazakhstan which has a poor human rights record.
The loved-up pair had enjoyed ­heli-skiing and a mountain-top dinner.
Inge, who was on the Walking With The Wounded trek to the South Pole with Harry, denied he invited them as a publicity stunt for the Shymbulak ­resort.
Former City stockbroker Inge, 41, said: “Harry is a dear friend and if I can facilitate a visit during which he and Cressie can spend some time in private, as young lovers want to, it’s beautiful.
“The pressure Cressida is under is absolutely terrible for a young girl”
Harry's pal Inge Solheim
“The pressure Cressida is under, dealing with this kind of publicity, is absolutely terrible for a young girl.”
The couple have been dating for 20 months.
Royal sources recently hinted Harry, who turns 30 in September, would propose within weeks.
Bookies also shortened the odds on an engagement after a flurry of bets from people with royal links.
Inge added: “The only reason Harry and Cressie came was that I said I was going to Kazakhstan to chill out and asked him if he wanted to come.
“Harry said it would be a great way to chill.
"That’s all it was.
"I don’t care what anybody thinks.
"That was it.”

Chris Martin goes to war over claims of affair with actress

CHRIS Martin is gearing up for a court battle with a magazine which is threatening to name an A-list star it claims he was having an affair with.
chris martin, gwyneth paltrow, split, couple, marriage, affair, actress, coldplay, yellow, donovan leitch, divorce
The Coldplay singer – who last week announced he and wife Gwyneth Paltrow are splitting up – has alerted his lawyers to the allegations.
UK newspapers are unable to release details of the claims for fear of legal action from the unnamed actress, who has links to England.
A senior figure at the US magazine told the Daily Star Sunday last night: “Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s marriage has been under our microscope for the last few years.
“Everyone has pointed the finger at Gwyneth but there are two sides to every story.
“We have sources who have sent in details which paint a very different picture. Chris is one of the hottest hunks in rock music. The girl in question boasts her own showbiz career, is high profile and is one of Chris’ ­inner ­circle.”
Paltrow and Martin announced their ­separation last Tuesday, saying they were “consciously uncoupling” to “co-parent” their children Moses, seven, and Apple, nine.
The pair have been dogged by rumours of ­infidelity during their ten-year marriage.
Last September photos emerged of Oscar winner Paltrow, 41, kissing her ex-boyfriend Donovan Leitch, 46, at a baseball game in Los Angeles.
She denied there was any romance between them and claimed they were just friends. But now the tables have turned and the US ­publication is planning to release the top- secret name on Wednesday.
The Hollywood beauty 37-year-old Chris is alleged to have cheated with is in her 30s, ­enjoys a jet-set lifestyle and is known to have dated a string of well-known men.
If made public, the allegations could put a spanner in the works of the divorce deal – which is already one of the most bizarre celeb settlements in history.
“Even with these rumours of the cheating Gwyneth is ­determined it will work”
A source close to Gwyn
The pair are planning to continue living together in two of the five houses they share.
But they will build a wall down the middle of their two LA homes, leaving them with separate his-and-hers ­living quarters.
They also have houses in London, New York and the swanky Hamptons and believe ­continuing to live together will be in the best interests of their children.
A source close to Gwyneth said: “They are putting the kids first and have decided that, although they will soon no longer be ­husband and wife, they see no problem ­continuing to ­cohabit but with individual ­private quarters, much like ­staying in a hotel.
“There has been a lot of ­speculation about how they will divide their enormous joint ­fortune but the truth is they haven’t even given that a moment’s thought yet.”
Chris and Gwyneth had already decided to split when they completed the £8.4million purchase of their latest four-bedroom property in Malibu less than three weeks ago.
Our source said: “The place actually includes two ­ completely separate living ­areas, so he can occupy one and she can live in the other if they are there at the same time.
“Even with these rumours of the cheating Gwyneth is ­determined it will work.
“What’s in the past doesn’t seem to bother either one of them.
“But there are some people who have warned her that if either of them fall in love again any time soon with someone else this arrangement could lead to hostility and resentment that won’t be any good for anyone – especially the ­children.”
The couple and their family are currently on holiday in the Bahamas, where they flew the day after announcing their separation.

British and U.S. secret service probe missing jet: MI6 and CIA investigating possible criminal involvement over missing Malaysian Airlines MH370

  • US naval officer leading search said finding black box was 'untenable'
  • Experts say without box the jet's fate could never be discovered
  • Officials say box may be in trench twice the depth of Grand Canyon
  • Ocean Shield, a warship with a black box locator, joined search
  • 'No objects related to MH370 have been recovered' - Australian officials
  • 'Miracles do happen' - Malaysian minister tells families of missing British and U.S. secret services are searching for possible criminal involvement in the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, reports today suggest.
    MI6 and the CIA have been helping Malaysian investigators look for reasons behind the Boeing 777 jet's disappearance after it lost all contact more than three weeks ago on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
    Malaysia's Defence Minister Mr Hishammuddin Hussein said the two agencies were working with Chinese spy agencies to try to find out why the plane suddenly changed course and headed to the west with its 239 mainly Chinese passengers and crew.

    Mr Hishammuddin declined to put forward his personal thoughts, keeping instead to the official line that investigators were looking into the possibility of terrorism, hijacking, personal or psychological problems among passengers and crew or technical failure.
    'These scenarious have been discussed at length with different intelligence agencies,' said the Minister.
    MI6 agents have been particularly interested in checking out terrorism links following disclosures in a US court by a British man, Saajid Badad, who claimed that in 2001 he gave a shoe-bomb to some Malaysian men who wanted to blow open a plane's cockpit door and carry out a September 11-style hijacking.
    The Minister said that the British, the Americans and the Chinese were 'all on board', helping in particular to examine 'pings' sent out by the Boeing 777 to look for clues to its flight and whereabouts.

    By George how you've grown! Duke and Duchess of Cambridge show off adorable baby prince

    THIS cute snap shows just how much Prince George has grown over the last six months.
    Prince George, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Picture, Kensington Palace, Royal Family
    Cuddled by mum Kate, the tot couldn’t take his eyes off beloved pooch Lupo while his proud parents smiled for the camera.
    Despite being the most famous tot on the planet George helpfully slipped into a baby blue jumper with his name on it just in case anyone had forgotten what he was called.
    Judging by this snap George and Lupo have already struck up a close bond.
    The relaxed family portrait was taken at Kensington Palace and officially released ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s tour of New Zealand and Australia next month.
    They will be accompanied by their son for the first time on an official overseas tour when they visit the Southern Hemisphere.
    The royal party will arrive in Australia on Monday 7 April and spend three weeks away from home.
    In 1983 the Prince and Princess of Wales took a then nine-month old William to Australia and New Zealand with them.
    William and his family certainly won't be travelling alone though as a royal entourage of 11 people will accompany them on the trip.
    Among the party will be a nanny and a hairdresser.
    William's last official trip to New Zealand and Australia took place in March 2011, when he was in Christchurch, soon after it suffered an earthquake, and in Queensland and Victoria, which had been hit by floods.

    Riddle of ‘lost’ cop probe files: More records may have been shredded

    POLICE last night admitted more anti-corruption files may have been shredded – but they have no idea how many.
    police, probe, investigation, files, anti-corruption, shredded, operation othona, stephen lawrence
    Files from Operation Othona – a secret probe that may have spawned as many as 62 inquiries – were ­destroyed in 2001.
    Now, there are questions over whether files on Operations Gayle, Gallery, Belize, Ashburn and Two Bridges met a similar fate.
    The Metropolitan Police investigations had uncovered claims of police dishonesty when they took place in the 1990s.
    All featured the name of John Davidson, a detective who worked on the original botched Stephen Lawrence murder investigation.
    But last night the Met could not tell us if complete files on the operations still exist.
    A spokesman said: “The sheer volume of anti-corruption activity and the scale of the organisation has generated a huge number of records since the 1990s.
    “We accept that historically the Met did not keep good records of what was retained or destroyed”
    A Metropolitan Police spokesman
    “We accept that historically the Met did not keep good records of what was retained or destroyed and that makes our task all the more difficult but we are determined to lift the lid on the past.”
    The existence of the probes was revealed in a report earlier this month by Mark Ellison QC. He looked at claims of corruption surrounding the investigation into the 1993 murder of 18-year-old Stephen and which files the Met gave to a public inquiry.
    His report also exposed a document revealing how Davidson worked on the original flawed probe into the 1987 murder of private eye Daniel Morgan.
    It included a July 2000 “intelligence analysis” listing probes into police wrongdoing in which Det Sgt Davidson’s name cropped up.
    Davidson, who retired in 1998 before a disciplinary hearing, never faced charges and told Ellison he was not corrupt.
    The 65-year-old Scot, who now runs a bar in Menorca, added: “No evidence whatsoever was found of corruption on my part.”
    Paul Flynn, an MP on the Home Affairs Select Committee, told us: “I would say the multiple intelligence against Davidson is persuasive that a major inquiry is required…with the possibility of extradition.”

    Outrageous: Paedophile was given new UK passport whilst on-the-run

    A BRITISH paedophile was handed a new UK passport while on the run abroad after skipping bail for child sex crimes.
    richard, fruin, paedophile, disgrace, police, arrest, kids, uk, passport, news
    It is believed to have been issued to Richard Fruin, 36, by the ­British High Commission in ­Malaysia.
    He was later captured and sent home where he was jailed.
    But he was allowed to keep the passport after his release and fled to Cambodia where he took a teaching job and abused three more children.
    Last Monday in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh he was jailed for two years for the offences.
    He will be deported to Britain on his release.
    Fruin was arrested in Cambodia last October when police raided a guest house in Phnom Penh and found him in a room with a half-dressed eight-year-old boy. He had earlier abused the boy’s brothers, aged ten and 11.
    “If police had not taken action I don’t know what he would have done,” the boys’ mother said at the time of Fruin’s capture.
    During the raid police seized the passport Fruin used to escape to Cambodia. He had obtained it in March 2012 while in Malaysia after more than six years on the run.
    “Richard Fruin given new UK passport”
    He had skipped bail in 2005 after police found 300 films and photographs, including depraved images of children, at his home in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
    Fruin ended up in Malaysia where High Commission officials would have been able to check a database to see if he was a wanted man. The Home Office has refused to confirm if Fruin was flagged up.
    All UK passports applications are now processed in Britain.
    Fruin was deported from Malaysia in May 2012 and later jailed for a year for having indecent images.
    He was allowed to keep his passport after his release and used it to head to Cambodia despite being on the Sex Offenders Register which ­required him to tell police of his travel plans.
    Last night, the Government was facing questions as to why Fruin was handed a British passport while he was a fugitive, then allowed to use it to flee abroad again.
    A spokesman for Her Majesty’s Passport Office said: “We rely on law enforcement ­agencies to advise us of any ­information that would prevent an individual being entitled to a ­passport.”

    BBC in Kylie crunch talks: Big-money deal lined up to keep Aussie star on the Voice

    BOSSES at The Voice are planning crunch talks with Kylie Minogue to persuade her to stay on the show.

    A meeting has been lined up this week to try to thrash out a new deal with the Aussie pop babe, 45.
    Producers are determined to sign her up for the 2015 series before next weekend’s final.
    A show insider told the Daily Star Sunday: “This is their big chance to persuade her to come back next year.
    "It’s make or break.
    “They’re so pleased Kylie has agreed to meet with them.
    "It means there is a chance she will go for it.”
    The Beeb was dealt a ­massive blow last weekend when Kylie revealed she is planning to quit her role as a coach on the singing ­contest.
    She blamed tour ­commitments and said: “The timings wouldn’t work.”
    The comments came as a shock to show chiefs, who had ­assumed she would be keen to ­return.
    Crisis talks were held and bosses are now plotting to do “whatever it takes” to get her to stage a comeback.
    The Spinning Around star is being paid £500,000 for the current series but is likely to be offered a substantial rise to return.
    STRIKE A POSE: Kylie is currently gracing the front cover of Attitude [ATTITUDE]
    “This is their big chance to persuade her to come back next year”
    An insider from The Voice
    Our insider added: “They are going to go all out to get Kylie to sign up.
    "A pay rise is almost certain.
    "And they’ll happily ­rearrange the filming dates to ­accommodate her.
    “She has admitted finding it tough to choose between acts but hopefully they can assure her it won’t be as hard second time around.”
    Yesterday it was announced the BBC has commissioned two more years of The Voice.
    But one source said top execs were adamant the show needed Kylie to stay top of the ratings on Saturday nights.
    Since she joined the panel alongside Ricky Wilson, 36, The Voice has regularly thrashed telly favourites Ant & Dec to be the most-watched show in its slot.
    As Kylie showcased her sexy look in the latest issue of Attitude magazine, out on ­Wednesday, insiders said bosses are more desperate than ever to keep her.
    Our source said: “They know Kylie is the reason millions are tuning in every week and keeping her is vital if the show is going to continue being a success.”
    We told last Sunday how fellow coach Sir Tom Jones, 73, fears ratings will plummet without Kylie.
    He said: “It’s working now and everybody seems to like the line-up.
    "So why spoil it, why change it if it’s working?”
    Will.i.am, 39, also warned he would quit as a coach if Kylie refused to come back.
    He told us: “If she’s leaving, I’m leaving.”

    Spy in the sky: Soldiers use drones to monitor the Taliban

    SPECIAL forces soldiers are using “spy in the sky” drones to monitor the Taliban and prevent attacks on British forces preparing to leave Helmand.

    More than 5,000 soldiers are packing up equipment at Camp Bastion in the final months of the Afghan campaign.
    Commanders ordered the SAS mission over fears the Taliban are preparing to mount an offensive next month – dubbed the “shooting season” – as they have done every year since 2006.
    A new unmanned aerial unit has been created and the SAS soldiers – motto “Who Dares Wins” – have been issued with tiny planes and ­helicopters fitted with cameras.
    Specialists from Royal Marine and Royal Artillery air defence units who have spent months training in the California desert to hone their skills on the new equipment have been attached to the special forces patrols.
    Some of the drones are launched from base while smaller, hand-held examples are carried in a backpack and launched by a specialist.
    A senior source revealed that since the hi-tech kit was introduced it has made a significant impact, with special forces being able to call in air power to deal with any threats.

    “If something is seen, Afghan forces are sent in and we follow”
    The source said: “It allows a much bigger area to be monitored than could be achieved on foot and has allowed us to dominate the battle space.
    "If something is seen, Afghan forces are sent in and we follow.
    "But if there is an imminent threat to UK soldiers then we will eliminate it ourselves or with Reaper drones.”
    The full-sized Reapers, which have clocked up 50,000 hours’ flying time in ­Afghanistan, can fire Hellfire missiles and drop 500lb bombs.
    As well as the tiny helicopters, called Black Hornets, which can look ahead of a patrol to identify hidden dangers, the SAS have been issued with miniature planes that can fly in unnoticed.
    The Hornet relays video and still images to troops via a handheld terminal.
    They can either pilot it directly or program it to fly to a given set of GPS co-ordinates on the battlefield.

    Stay with UK says ‘Scot' Simon Cowell: Si chips in to referendum debate

    X FACTOR boss Simon Cowell has waded into the big debate over Scottish independence, urging voters not to cut ties with England.

    The media mogul, who revealed he is of ­Scottish ­descent, said he would prefer the nations to co-exist as “one big happy family”.
    Multi-millionaire Cowell, 54, exclusively told the Daily Star Sunday: “You know what?
    "My mum’s maiden name was Dalglish so I have Scottish blood in me.
    “Personally, I would like us all to be together.
    “At the end of the day it is their decision obviously.
    "But I would prefer us to remain as one big happy family.”
    Cowell is the latest high-profile name to publicly voice his ­opinion on the September 18 ­referendum.
    Singer David Bowie, 67, appealed to voters not to break their 307-year-old ties with England when his speech was read out by Kate Moss at this year’s BRIT Awards.
    Other celebrities who want Scotland to stay in the UK include BGT star Susan Boyle, 52, Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson, 54, and Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, 72.

    But iconic James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery, a long-time Scottish nationalist, wants independence.
    The 83-year-old said recently: “The Yes campaign has centred on a positive vision for Scotland.
    “It is rooted in inclusiveness, equality and that core ­democratic value that the people of Scotland are the best guardians of their own future.”
    His calls for the Scottish public to break away have been mirrored by fellow actors Alan Cumming, 49, Brian Cox, 67, and comedians Frankie Boyle, 41, and Kevin Bridges, 27.
    Other high-profile Scots including Andy Murray, 26, Annie Lennox, 59, and Billy Connolly, 71, have remained silent.
    Opinion polls show about half of Scottish voters oppose separation while a third are in support.
    About 16% are undecided.
    Meanwhile, Chancellor George ­Osborne yesterday dismissed the idea that an ­independent Scotland could keep the pound after a newspaper had quoted an unnamed minister ­saying that “of course” Scotland would be able to share the currency if there was a Yes vote.

    Fergie would have failed... Even he couldn't have done better than me at United this season, says under-fire Moyes

    David Moyes fuelled the debate on his dismal Manchester United season on Friday by insisting even Sir Alex Ferguson could not have done better.
    The under-fire manager made the amazing claim on the same day Jose Mourinho said Fergie could not be held responsible for what has gone on since he retired.
    Moyes will face another ordeal at the hands of angry fans if his side fail to beat Aston Villa on Saturday and there are plans for a plane to fly over Old Trafford before the game with a banner calling for him to be axed. But the defiant boss insisted that only makes him more determined to succeed.

    Keeping Up With Kanye: West 'slinks into police station for mugshot in less than an hour' pleading no contest in battery case

    His fiancee Kim Kardashian is known for having her every move followed by her own Reality TV crew and photographers.

    But it seems Kanye West can still manage to go about his business undetected.

    TMZ report that the rapper 'slinked' into a police station on Thursday, for less than an hour and avoided being seen.
    Keeping Up With Kanye: West - seen here on 25 March in NYC - appeared at the LAPD in Hollywood on Thursday to have his mugshot and fingerprints taken in less than an hour

    It was revealed earlier this month that Kanye plead no contest for allegedly hitting a photographer at LAX in July last year.

    As well as two years probation, he was also ordered to attend 24 anger management therapy sessions and complete 250 hours of community service.

    TMZ reveal that to avoid a big fanfare, Kanye and his lawyer carefully chose to arrive at the LAPD station in Hollywood at 4:30pm to get his mugshot taken.

    'Real Housewives of Atlanta' -- Porsha Breaks Down, Attacks Kenya in Awesome Bitchfight

    0327-kenya-moore-porsha-williams-getty-01

    "Real Housewives of Atlanta" stars Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore exploded on each other Thursday ... and it was a quick but full-on bitch fight.

    Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... the brawl went down during the reunion show.  We're told Porsha just snapped -- it looked like a nervous breakdown. She charged Kenya and it was on. There was clawing and hair-pulling before they were pulled apart.

    It was bad enough that someone called 911 and the cops raced to the scene. No one was arrested.

    As for why they fought -- it's unclear. The people who were there tell us the tension between them had been mounting, but there was nothing obvious that triggered the fight. Here's what's obvious to us ... Porsha's on the chopping block, so this may be her way of staying on the show.

    Bitches on reality shows. They're awesome.


    Khloe Kardashian PISSED at Ray J/Joan Rivers Sex Tape -- Bails on Joan's Show

    0325_klhoe_kardashian_fashion_police_tmz

    Khloe Kardashian is steaming mad at Joan Rivers for spoofing her sister's sex tape by doing a pretty hilarious rendition with Ray J ... so she bailed on co-hosting Joan's show at the last minute.

    Khloe was scheduled to shoot Wednesday for Joan's E! show "Fashion Police," but sources close to production tell us ... Khloe pulled out .... hmmm, just like Ray J.

    It's thrown Joan's show into panic mode -- probably to the satisfaction of Khloe -- because they have to scramble for a new co-host and re-do the script.

    TMZ broke the story ... Joan filmed a comedy sketch with Ray J for her new WE tv show "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?" -- spoofing Ray J and Kim Kardashian's famous sex romp.

    It's pretty hilarious ... but the Kardashians aren't laughing.



    Did he take her home? Selena Gomez snapped chilling in Niall Horan's house

    SELENA Gomez has been fuelling speculation that she has rekindled her romance with Justin Bieber - but could it be that it was all a cover-up for a different pop romance?
    Selena Gomez, Niall Horan
    After hopping on a Segway with the Biebs and choreographing a steamy dance routine with the pop brat, it looked like Jelena was firmly back on.
    But now a Throwback Thursday snap from a pal has sparked up rumours that the Disney babe is closer to One Direction's Niall Horan than we previously thought.
    While the pair were snapped by a fan on a night out while Selena visited London last month, it turns out the beauty may have actually visited Niall's HOUSE – thus fulfilling the dreams of millions of teenage superfans.
    The 21-year-old's pal Samantha Droke posted a snap on her Instagram account yesterday, writing: "That time in London Town so much love for this one #lilsis #TBT #missu."

    But while the beauties looked incredible in the snap, nobody was really focussing on their display of friendship.
    Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the room in which they were sitting looked suspiciously similar to a certain 1D's bachelor pad.
    Directioners immediately pointed out the results of their investigation, with one writing: "Niall's home?????" and another fan posting: "That is Niall's house!"
    Anyone who follows the Irish singer's Instagram has regular access to peeks at Horan's house, due to his regular snaps of his lush living room to illustrate what he's watching on TV.
    Niall and Selena first sparked rumours of a blossoming relationship after a lucky fan ran into them on the streets of London back in February.

    VIDEO: CCTV of subway train derailing and crashing up escalator

    FOOTAGE has emerged of the shocking moment a subway train derails and crashes its way up an escalator - narrowly missing two people.
    subway, chicago, train, airport, video, youtube, CCTV, accident, incident,
    Travellers were left stunned as the eight-car commuter train derailed at the underground station for Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
    Some 32 people on bored suffered injuries, but luckily none were life-threatening.
    The accident happened at 3am, meaning the casualty number is far lower than it could have been.
    The station would be filled with thousands of people at rush-hour.
    Passenger Denise Adams told the Chicago Sun-Times she heard a loud noise during the impact.


    "I heard a 'Boom!' and when I got off the train, the train was all the way up the escalator," she said. "It was a lot of panic."
    CTA investigators along with the city fire department and police are reviewing security footage to pin down the cause of the accident. National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation.
    "We will be looking at equipment. We will be looking at signals. We'll be looking at the human factor and any extenuating circumstances," CTA spokesman Brian Steele said.
    "But really at this point, it's far too soon to speculate."
    Transit agency officials said crews were working to remove the train and fix the escalator, which received "significant damage."
    Hours after the crash, the front of the first car could still be seen near the top of the escalator.

    The train appeared to have been going too fast as it approached the end-of-line station and didn't stop at a bumping post – a metal shock absorber at the end of the tracks.
    "The train actually climbed over the last stop, jumped up on the sidewalk and then went up the stairs and escalator," Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago said.
    Steele added it wasn't clear how many people were on board at the time of the crash, but that it took place during what is "typically among our lowest ridership time".
    The injured were taken to area hospitals and Santiago said most were able to walk away from the wreck unaided.

    Were the fishermen right all along? Search for missing flight MH370 switches 700 miles north as new data reveals ill-fated jet was travelling FASTER than first thought

    mh370 preview
    The latest lead in the baffling disappearance of the Boeing 777-200 came today from search authorities who revealed that the doomed airline was travelling faster than previously thought. Ten aircraft and six ships, including HMAS Success, pictured right, will now shift their focus 1,100 kilometres north of the previous search zone in the Indian Ocean (middle). The move is another frustrating twist for families - including Steve Wang, bottom right - who are desperately clinging to any sign of their missing relatives, ruled to have been killed after MH370 lost radar contact and vanished 20 days ago.

    Crazy Kim Jong-Un planning World War III...from his XBOX

    CRAZY dictator Kim Jong-Un is using his favourite Xbox game to plan all-out nuclear war on AMERICA, sources have claimed.
    military, war, Kim Jong-un, north korea
    The crackpot ruler believes his prowess as a gamer will help defeat his enemies in the West.
    And as tensions increase between North and South Korea, he is turning to ever more bizarre methods to sharpen his military tactics.
    The South is flexing its muscles after seizing a fishing boat that crossed a disputed maritime border today and ignored warnings to withdraw.
    It has carried out live firing exercises using 155mm howitzers at Inje, on the dividing line between the two countries.
    But, for their sworn enemy Kim Jong-Un, it is business as usual and that includes playing his favourite game, the 2011 hit Homefront.
    The game is set in 2027 where American resistance fighters battle invaders from the Korean People's Army.

    Kylie Minogue: 'I've accepted I might never have children'

    The Voice judge says: "You can't have everything, so I'd rather just focus on what I have instead of what I don't have"
    The Voice judge Kylie Minogue
    Kylie Minogue has revealed she's coming to terms with not having children following her break up with Spanish model Andrés Velencoso last October.

    The 45-year-old singer and judge on The Voice said the split with Andrés, 35, after their five year relationship has forced her to accept that she will never have children.

    In an interview with the Mail, she said: "I don't know how many more times I can say, if it happens, it happens.

    "But I think maybe part of this frame of mind I'm in, trying to be calm and accepting and at peace with where I am, is really acknowledging that it just might not be written on the pages for me.

    "You can't have everything, so I'd rather just focus on what I have instead of what I don't have."

    Instead, she says she is fully focused on her career, both as a singer and a TV talent judge.

    She said: "I was determined that last year was going to be a big year of change. Everything in my life changed. After having the same manager, an Australian, for 25 years, I got new management in LA. Americans work very differently to Brits and Australians, so it was like trying to learn a new language.

    "Then my assistant, who'd been with me for 12 years, moved back to Australia. So I was basically floundering around on my own, trying to keep my relationship going.

    "He [Andrés] was very supportive throughout that, kind of acknowledging that I wanted a separation - not from him but from the old ways that I had. I'm sure that had something to do with our break-up."

    Duchess of Cambridge pregnant with twins?

    Duchess of Cambridge
    The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant with twins! She isn't really (she hasn't mentioned it to us, anyway), but that hasn't stopped an American gossip magazine proclaiming 'the thrilling news that shocked the palace' on its cover.

    The claims have been made by the US version
    of OK! Magazine. Its coverlines shout: "Pregnant Kate TWINS!"

    Followed by: "Kate says she's loving her 'mommy weight'" and "William tells queen he wants two daughters."

    But inside the mag, it would seem the Duchess isn't pregnant after all: the couple have just been talking about it, well, at least according to a 'source'.


    The 'source' revealed to the March 17 issue that the Royal couple have been planning a pregnancy since the beginning of the year, despite Prince George being just seven months old, and apparently it is Prince William who is keen to have twins.

    The 'source' said: "She and William had been trying since January. Wills told the queen (sic) he'd love to have at least two daughters. With all the boys in his family, he's trying to even up the balance."

    The 'source' added: "Everyone expected them to wait until George was a year old before trying again, to give her body a chance to rebalance its hormones. But Kate feels so fantastic and healthy right now, there's no reason to wait."

    So she's not expecting then? So the coverline is an hysterical flam-up? So Wills confided in an unnamed source that he'd told the Queen (notice the initial cap: Her Maj is THE!) he wants two daughters?

    We look forward to next week's 'Kate expecting quads' follow-up.


    It's not the first time Kate has been rumoured to be pregnant with twins.

    VIDEO: Could naked dating be the next big reality show to hit the UK?

    A NAKED dating show has risen to fame in Holland and could be on its way to the UK soon.

    Like a reversal of classic reality show Blind Date, the latest eye-opening idea puts women and men together on a secret island near Panama – with no clothes.
    Named Adam Zoekt Eva, or Adam looking for Eve, young singletons flaunt their attractive, and not so attractive bodies, in a battle to find love.
    But not only do they have to mingle in nude-filled groups but they also have to do tasks to earn rewards.
    Women, naked, dating, Adam Zoekt Eva
    And starting a fire when your naked surely can't be the easiest thing to do.
    Yet despite the show being a laughing stock online, it appears the novelty programme has jumped to popularity in Holland.
    And now it is rumoured to be heading to Britain to rival the likes of Big Brother, X Factor and I'm A Celebrity!.
