President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan today Tuesday 22nd July 2014, met with parents of the abducted school girls from the Chibok area of Borno State, by Islamist militant sect Boko Haram. Today makes it the 99th day since they were taken captive. The meeting was held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Speaking to the parents of the girls and some of the girls who escaped, he reassured them of his administration’s commitment in bringing back the girls.  “Anyone who gives you the impression that we are aloof and that we are not doing what we are supposed to do to get the girls out is not being truthful.

We want to return them all alive to their parents. If they are killed in any rescue effort, then we have achieved nothing. Our duty now is to take all relevant steps to recover our girls alive and our primary interest ...

It's been a while since we've caught up with Rob Kardashian, who has been busy getting his life back on track with the help of fitness coaches and trainers as he pursues a more healthy and fit lifestyle. But there's something else that's different about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. Can you guess what it is? Following in big sis (and now his roomie as well) Khloé Kardashian's footsteps, Rob has recently been seen sporting braces. In Sunday's latest KUWTK, the 27-year-old designer flashes a quick smile and can be seen with a nice new grill! But unlike Khloé, who chose to do Invisalign back when she was 28, Rob decided to go the old-fashioned route by getting metal braces. Recent photos of the youngest Kardashian shows him covering up his mouth, but it seems like he's totally fine showing off his new bling with his family. Rob isn't the only celebrity who has opted to straighten his teeth—other celebrities who have gotten braces...

The 18-year-old E! star poses topless on the cover of the latest issue of Love magazine, wearing nothing but a Fox fur hat by Fendi as she covers up her chest with her arms.  Leaving little to the imagination, Jenner gives the camera a sultry stare and shows off her famous figure in the pic, which has words "American Girl" inscribed under Kendall's image in colorful, quirky print.

For the latest issue, the mag opted to release three separate covers—one which features Kendall, another with Amy Adams and the last with Adriana Lima—although the latter two are far more covered up in their respective shots. This isn't the first time Jenner has posed topless for a high-fashion modeling gig. The brunette beauty, who recently rocked the...
