Kris Jenner's boyfriend helped her cover up

Kris Jenner wardrobe malfunction was almost a disaster thanks to her 35 year old boyfriend, Corey Gamble.

The couple were trying to board a Yatch at the famous St Barts where they, amongst other celebrities were vacationing when the incident happened...or nearly happened.


The 60 year old mom and manager to her TV Reality star children carried a white tote bag stuffed with the day's essentials, while Corey followed with another piece of designer arm luggage. They were on gangway with Corey following after his  partner when it happened.  Luckily, Corey was on hand to pull down his girlfriend's cover-up.

Kris had layered a multi print tunic over her white bikini for the boat trip, but the short dress, with thigh-high splits, showed off perhaps a little more than she intended while her boyfriend was looking smart in a loose-fitting lilac shirt teamed with white shorts for the day at sea.

The author of a popular fantasy series confirmed Saturday that he missed the last deadline that would have allowed the sixth novel in his fantasy series to be published before the next TV series begins.

The seventh novel in the series, A Dream of Spring, will be the last, according to Martin.

Texas allows the open carry of handguns

Texas was far from being the first US state to allow licensed gun owners to carry a holstered pistol in public - but it is the largest.

As a result, as from January 1 2016, almost one million people in Texas who have passed safety courses and have concealed handgun permits, will be allowed to openly carry their weapons. It is the first time they have been able to do so since 1871. They will even be allowed to carry them in the state assembly building in Austin.

The Associated Press said that Republican-controlled Texas already allows openly carrying rifles and shotguns, but has banned having handguns visible since just after the Civil War. Texas had nearly 826,000 concealed licence holders in 2014, which ranks among the nation's highest.

Muslim Bodies Condemn Possible Ban on Hijab

The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State Area Unit (LSAU), has warned President Muhammad Buhari not to consider or attempt any ban on Hijab.


The Amir (President) of MSSN LSAU, Mallam Saheed Ashafa, said this yesterday at the December Islamic Vacation Course holding at Epe, Lagos.


He said such consideration would ridicule the war against Boko Haram, adding it was an unnecessary approach.
According to Ashafa, ban on Hijab means that Boko Haram has succeeded in their deceptive ideology and may strengthen their unjustifiable zeal to kill innocent peoples.


Buhari, during his maiden presidential media chat last Wednesday in Abuja had said the federal government might consider ban on hijab if terrorists continue to use it to perpetuate evil.


But Ashafa condemned the insight, saying such showed that the government was still considering some unrealistic approach in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria.
