Unbelieveable!! Nicki Minaj wears the tiniest thong EVER for new single's artwork - it's just TOO much?

If, for whatever reason, you've ever wondered what the world's tiniest thong looks like then look no further.

This is it being worn by Nicki Minaj on the artwork for her new single Anaconda.

Seriously though, if she's trying to grab peoples' attention then it's a job well done by the 31-year-old.



The rapper is looking bootylicious to say the least as she squats seductively in the tiny pink g-string.

On her upper half she's wearing a matching pink bra which seems to be hiding more than we'd expect from the chart topper.

To put her own touch on the image she's finished the outfit off with a pair of blue high-top trainers - as you do when you're wearing underwear.



The artwork caused quite a stir on social networks after it was released yesterday prior to the single being made available on July 28.

Nicki wasn't oblivious to the fact that it wasn't everyone's cup of tea and posted on her Instagram account that it had been called 'unacceptable'.

But the feisty star clearly saw the funny side and even uploaded a picture to the photo sharing site where one fan had hilariously incorporated the Google logo into the design.



She captioned it: "Doing the most. Who did this??? Google my ass. Only time u on the net is when u #GoogleMyAss. Memba that line? What song?"

Let's hope that there's a video to come because we couldn't get enough of the one she did to accompany her Pills N Potions track.

The surreal vid included an expected level of naughtiness from the hit maker with the star smoking, writhing around topless and canoodling with a heavily tattooed model.

Her third solo album, titled The Pink Print, is expected to be released later this year.

Man accused of stealing $6M in Facebook fraud

Security forces say they have arrested a suspected internet fraudster accused of stealing nearly $6 million from people who thought were paying fees to apply for government jobs.

Emmanuel Okeh, a spokesman for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps said Friday that the suspect, Michael Ogun, 44, is accused of using Facebook and other websites that appear to represent government agencies, including customs, immigration and security. The pages urged applicants to pay small fees to apply online for jobs.

Okeh said the scam is one of many in Nigeria that are specifically designed to extract small sums from Nigeria's unemployed. Conservative estimates put Nigeria's unemployment rate at about 24 per cent in a nation of more than 160 million people.

 Security agencies in the country say that they have never recruited online.

Shocking pictures of woman knocked out in unprovoked attack by young thugs

Horrific pictures have been released in a bid to catch the men who knocked a woman out during a completely unprovoked attack.

Sasha Jenkins, 28, was walking with a friend in Staple Hill, Bristol, at 12.45am on July 5, after leaving the White Swan pub in nearby Downend.            

Two men walked towards the carer - with one suddenly punching her to the ground as he passed her.
She was rushed to Southmead Hospital with severe facial injuries and later underwent a "painful" operation.    



Detective Constable Clare Chipping, of Avon and Somerset Police, said the "horrific" pictures had been released in a bid to identify her attacker.            

"Sasha wants to release these photos of her before and after the attack to show the horrific nature of the injuries she suffered," DC Chipping said. "She's had to endure a painful operation and will need further treatment in the days and weeks ahead.



"At the moment she's taking time off from her job as a carer because she's had to wear a protective mask as part of her treatment," DC Chipping continued. "We don't have a description of the two men who approached Sasha other than that they were young men.            

"We have carried out a number of inquiries already and now want to issue an appeal for anyone who witnessed this incident to come forward.   



"I am convinced there will be people who know who is responsible and I would urge them to put aside any misguided loyalty and contact us," DC Chipping added.            

A 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and is on bail until August 24, she added. Anyone with information is asked to contact the force on 101. 

Mariah Carey and giant boobs stun at Hercules premiere as eager fan almost 'punches' her

This might look like a fan with a disproportionately large hand punching Mariah Carey, 44, in the face, but we believe they were actually going in for a hug at the Hercules premiere in LA.

Mariah was still wowing the crowds despite recent controversy over allegedly photoshopped pictures.
And sales of her latest album Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse marked the diva's lowest sales debut for a non-holiday studio album.



She was also recently involved in an embarrassing incident when she was caught passing a photo of herself off on Twitter as current… that was actually from 1997.

The singer wasn't the only big name at the premiere, of the mythological blockbuster starring Dwayne Johnson.          

Eddie Murphy and model girlfriend Paige Butcher were also among the celebrity guests, as well as Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue

Neymar's brain on auto-pilot - Japan neurologists

Brazilian superstar Neymar's brain activity while dancing past opponents is less than 10 percent the level of amateur players, suggesting he plays as if on auto-pilot, according to Japanese neurologists.

Results of brain scans conducted on Neymar in February this year indicated minimal cerebral function when he rotated his ankle and point to the Barcelona striker's wizardry being uncannily natural.

"From MRI images we discovered Neymar's brain activity to be less than 10 percent of an amateur player," researcher Eiichi Naito told AFP on Friday.

"It is possible genetics is a factor, aided by the type of training he does."

The findings were published in the Swiss journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience following a series of motor skills tests carried out on the 22-year-old Neymar and several other athletes in Barcelona in February this year.

Three Spanish second-division footballers and two top-level swimmers were also subjected to the same tests, added Naito of Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology.

Naito concluded in his paper that the test results "provide valuable evidence that the football brain of Neymar recruits very limited neural resources in the motor-cortical foot regions during foot movements".

Asked whether Neymar's Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi or Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo might display similar test results, Naito said: "It is fair to assume they would show similar levels given their footwork and technique."

Naito told Japan's Mainichi Shimbun newspaper: "Reduced brain activity means less burden which allows (the player) to perform many complex movements at once. We believe this gives him the ability to execute his various shimmies."

Kano bomb was hidden in fridge in bus park; killed 1, wounded 8

The bomb used in the Kano blast was hidden in a refrigerator. It killed one and wounded eight at a crowded bus park in northern Nigeria's biggest city of Kano on Thursday, police said.

Ike Chuku, a local trader who witnessed the blast, told Reuters by telephone that emergency services had arrived to rescue the wounded from the New Road bus park in Sabon Gari, an area of the mostly Muslim northern city with a high population of Christian southerners.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Islamist group Boko Haram has repeatedly targeted Kano, historically a medieval Islamic caliphate and a hub for trade across the Sahara.
It is one of many targets well outside the group's main area of operations that has seen a surge in attacks as the militants radiate violence outwards from the northeast.



At least 82 people were killed on Wednesday in two suicide bombings in the north Nigerian city of Kaduna, one aimed at opposition leader and ex-president Muhammadu Buhari and another at a moderate Muslim cleric about to lead a crowd in prayer.

Kaduna state governor Mukhtar Yero on Thursday lifted a 24-hour curfew imposed on the state after the bombings.

2015 elections will shock the world – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said despite the violence currently being experienced in parts of the country, the 2015 general elections would be peaceful and transparent.

He said the peaceful nature of the election would surprise the world.

Jonathan made the promise on Thursday evening when members of the diplomatic corps, some senators, ministers and former government officials joined him for the breaking of Ramadan fast at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President said, “I know that one thing that is dear to your hearts is what the elections in this country will look like next year.

“But let me use this unique opportunity to reassure you and I am conveying this to my brothers, your heads of government, that our elections next year will be free and fair.

“It will be very peaceful in nature that will even surprise the whole world.”



Jonathan said with ugly incidents globally, there was need for constant prayers for divine intervention.

He regretted that more members of the society were choosing the wrong path and were being used by evil forces to wreak havoc.

“Let us take the opportunity of this season to ask Allah to forgive them and guide them back to the path of righteousness and holiness.

“I request Your Excellencies and all Muslims and Christians that, as you pray this period, especially during the night of Majesty, we pray for peace and security to reign throughout the world.

“Let us also pray for Allah to guide our leaders and grant them good health and wisdom to work for the progress of their respective countries,” the President added.

Jonathan’s guests had on arrival at the Presidential Villa had a special prayer session in the Villa Mosque before moving into the new Presidential Banquet Hall to break their fast with the President.

As from Aug. 1, FRSC will arrest drivers without licence

 

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) on Tuesday said it would begin enforcement of the new drivers’ licence and number plate on Aug. 1.

The Lagos State Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr Chidi Nkwonta, told newsmen that the decision followed the new court judgment.

“This new judgment made it very clear that as from Aug. 1, FRSC should impound. So, Nigerians must discountenance that first misleading judgment and take this one because we are going to continue enforcement as from Aug. 1, 2014. We never asked anybody to stop processing licences.

Anybody who stopped ab initio, stopped at his own peril.  Neither did the court ask anybody to stop; that judgment never said anybody should stop. So anybody who did so did it at his own risk and the deadline was supposed to be June 30. Now, we have extended it to Aug. 1, because we needed to go on appeal on the other matter.

“But right now, there is another judgment which says we can go on. So, while we are still waiting for the appeal, we are going to go on with this other judgment,” he said.

 Justice Peter Umeadi of a Federal High Court in Anambra State on June 30, had ruled in a suit filed by Chief Ajefo Ekwo, challenging FRSC’s powers to enforce new drivers’ licence and number plates.

Umeadi said the respondent’s directive to change old drivers’ licence and number plates to new was legal, valid, subsisting and in conformity with the FRSC’s 2007 Act and the National Road Traffic Regulations of 2012.



Nkwonta maintained that the recent judgment set aside the earlier judgment of the Lagos High Court, which said that the corps had no authority to produce and fix deadline for the documents.

The FRSC commander said the earlier judgment was given in error and that the commission would stand by the new judgment, while appealing against the earlier one.

He said all registration centres and 18 additional work stations in all parts of Lagos were functional and that the network was effective.

He added that the commission has improved the process, just as it is working at weekends to make it easy for applicants.

Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court in Lagos on March 26, declared that the FRSC had no legal authority to impose new number plates on motorists in the country.

The judge also held that “the ongoing exercise by the FRSC to replace the old number plate with a new one is illegal and unconstitutional because there is no law empowering it to carry out the exercise.’’

Why Are We Ignoring a New Ebola Outbreak?

Three small, impoverished nations in West Africa—Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone—now demand the world’s attention as the deadly Ebola epidemic spins out of control, killing hundreds and threatening millions. Caused by a highly contagious virus, the disease starts with typical flu-like symptoms, yet most often leads to a horrific death in just a matter of days.

 

Since the outbreak started in early 2014, the World Health Organization reports 1048 people have contracted the disease, and over 600 have died.  But since ministries of health in these three countries do not have the capacity to survey the disease and count the dead properly, many experts believe that the numbers are much higher.

 

To put this into context, in 32 years (1976-2008) the Ebola virus infected 2,232 people in remote village areas and killed 1,503. In a matter of months, this current outbreak has killed more than one-third as many people.

 

 

Doctors Without Borders is the only non-governmental organization working against Ebola in Sierra Leone and Guinea. The organization I work for, Samaritan’s Purse, has collaborated with the group in Liberia, but this outbreak is too much for us to take on by ourselves. We desperately need others to join this fight.

More direct medical care and emergency supplies are urgently needed. More importantly, there is a tremendous need for public awareness campaigns. Although there is no cure for Ebola, people can survive this terrifying disease, and we know mortality rates dramatically drop with early medical intervention.

 

 

 

Indian rape suspects lie beaten on the ground, surrounded by angry mob after girl, seven, is found hanging from a tree in latest incident to shame country

One man was killed and two others were badly hurt today by villagers in India who accused them of raping and hanging a seven-year-old girl.

The girl was discovered hanging from a tree near the village of Kaliabazar, West Bengal, this morning and angry villagers quickly rounded up a local 'Tantrik' holy man and his two friends.

The trio were mercilessly beaten. One later died in hospital and the two others are still being treated.

It was a grim reminder of the recent gang-rape case in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, where two sisters were raped and then hanged from a tree outside their village.

After a string of high-profile cases, India has become notorious for savage sexual attacks on often young women and girls.

However, the number of rapes recorded in the country is still far lower than countries such as the U.S. and UK, according to figures from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.

The victim in the most-recent case had gone missing last night, after apparently going out to the neighbourhood shop.

The Hindustan Times reports that people went around the village to gather a search party, which found her body handing from a tree.

Word spread and rumours began circulating that she had been gang-raped, spurring villagers to round up Ratan Das, a local Tantrik, or Hindu witchdoctor, and two of his associates.

The mob beat up the men and also set fire to a house belonging to Das, who had been seen with the victim yesterday morning. Then they went to police.

Sukesh Kumar Jain, East Midnapore Superintendent of Police, told the Hindustan Times: 'The father of the girl lodged a complaint at the local police station against three persons.

'One of the three accused has already died.'

There is as yet no evidence that the girl was raped before she was killed. Police said they are not ruling out a family feud as the motive behind the killing.

'We are awaiting the autopsy report to confirm rape,' said a police officer. 'There was also some enmity between the families of the girl and the prime accused, Ratan Das.'

Surgeons AMPUTATE man's penis without his permission during circumcision surgery

A man claims surgeons amputated his PENIS without permission. The alleged victim says he went in for routine circumcision surgery and awoke to find the organ had been completely removed.

The man and his wife are now suing two doctors and Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, according to the Birmingham News.

The lawsuit claims: "When the plaintiff ... awoke from his aforesaid surgical procedure, his penis was amputated.



The plaintiffs claim before the procedure was carried out in June they "never gave consent for the complete or partial amputation of (his) penis," it adds.

The lawsuit adds that the man was never provided with an explanation as to the medical necessity of
an amputation, nor was warned the circumcision procedure could result in an amputation.

As a result of the allegedly botched surgery, the man says he has suffered unnecessary pain and spent additional time in hospital recovering.

The man's wife is also claiming she has suffered financially because of her husband's injuries.

Adele's Toddler Son Wins Damages From Paparazzi Photos

Adele's infant son Angelo Adkins has been awarded a five-figure damage settlement from photo agency Corbis Images UK after paparazzi took photos of the child's "milestone moments." Adele's lawyer, Jenny Afia, stated on Wednesday that her Grammy-winning client accepts life in the public eye but won't let Angelo become "public property," The Associated Press reports.

"It is a matter of profound sadness that many of his milestone moments, such as his first family outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published worldwide expressly against his family's wishes," Afia said. The settlement stipulates that Corbis Images UK won't use the photos again; monetary damages will be held in a trust fund for Angelo, who will turn two this October. 

Sudanese woman earlier sentenced to death for converting to Christianity received by Pope Francis

A Sudanese Christian woman whose death sentence for renouncing Islam sparked a global outcry that eventually led to an acquittal, met Pope Francis on Thursday after arriving in Italy en route to the United States.

Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag and her family were received by the Argentine pontiff at his home for a 30-minute meeting in which he thanked her for her "courageous testament of faith" and her "tenacity", the Vatican said in a statement.

Ishag and her American husband Daniel Wani in turn thanked Francis for the "great support and comfort" they had taken from "the pope's and many other believers' prayers."

The meeting was "a sign of closeness and solidarity for all those who suffer for their faith, in particular Christians who suffer persecution," the Vatican added.

The 77-year-old pope gave Ishag rosary beads after an "affectionate and warm" chat about her plans in the US, where she is expected to fly with her family in a few days time, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said.

The family flew into a military airport in Rome early Thursday and were greeted by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and his wife, as well as Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini.

Bacary Sagna enjoys an amorous display with stunning wife Ludovine on their pre-season break

Exciting times lie ahead for French defender Bacary Sagna, but man-marking was the last thing on his mind as he hit the beach with stunning wife Ludovine on Thursday.

The couple are currently enjoying a pre-season break in sun-kissed Miami, where their amorous displays have been hard to miss during daily outings close to their five-star hotel.

Wading into the ocean on their latest it was business as usual for Ludovine, who draped her arms across the muscular footballers shoulders as they splashed around.



The couple wore matching peach coloured swimwear, with 32-year-old Bacary sporting a pair of baggy shorts while his wife opted for a striking bikini that showcased her prodigious curves.

Ludovine rounded off her look with a gold body chain as she paraded her body across the sand shortly after wading out of the Atlantic surf.

The couple, who have two children, are making the most of their stay in the United States ahead of a transitional year for Bacary, who ended months of speculation by signing for Premier League champions Manchester City from Arsenal

   
   
The France international, who has won 42 caps for his country, will compete with Pablo Zabaleta for a spot in Manuel Pellegrini's side, but both men are on extended summer breaks after their World Cup exploits.

Bacary helped Les Bleus reach the World Cup quarter-finals where they lost to Germany, while Zabaleta's Argentina reached the final where they also succumbed to the Germans.

He agreed to join City on a £150,000-a-week deal with Manchester City after eight years with the Gunners, but denies he left for financial reasons.





'I’m going to clear everything up because I keep reading that I did it for money and I’m greedy,' he said.

'What I want to say is I have stayed with Arsenal on the same contract since 2008 and I never asked for more money.

'For people who think it’s for money, it’s not. I just wanted to change. I needed a boost in my career and I think it was about time.

'It was not an easy time because we were still involved in the FA Cup and it was hard to stay focused. I stayed focused on my team because I have a lot of respect for Arsenal.'

Surgeons' shock after they remove 232 'TEETH' from Indian teenager's mouth

Surgeons in Mumbai have removed an astonishing 232 teeth-like growths from the mouth of a teenager.

Ashik Gavai, 17, sought medical help after suffering swelling on the right side of his lower jaw.

He was referred to the city's JJ Hospital, where doctors found he was suffering from a condition known as complex odontoma.

Odontomas are haphazardly arranged tooth-like growths. They are composed of enamel, dentin (the yellowish tissue that makes up the bulk of all teeth) and pulp tissue (part in the centre of a tooth made up of living connective tissue).

They tend to occur in people in their teenage years, such as Mr Gavai whose growths removed earlier this week, surgeons believe, may be a world-record operation.

They claim current literature shows a maximum of 37 teeth being removed in such a procedure.

'We operated on Monday and it took us almost seven hours,' head of dentistry Sunanda Dhivare-Palwankar said.

'We thought it [would] be simple surgery but once we opened [him up] there were multiple pearl-like teeth inside the jaw bone,' she said.

After removing those, the surgeons also found a larger 'marble-like' structure which they struggled to extract.

It eventually had to be 'chiselled out' and remove in fragments, Ms Dhivare-Palwankar added.

The teenager's father, Suresh Gavai, told the Mumbai Mirror newspaper he had feared the swelling was a cancerous growth.

Fortunately the surgeons managed to maintain teenager's jawbone structure, meaning it should heal without any deformities. Once removed, odontomas do not recur.
