SEXIEST BLACK MEN OF THE YEAR

We’re calling an emergency meeting for all the ladies of the world: these smokin’ hot stars are on the loose killing us with their deviish goodlooks and unmatched style. We’re starting our roll call with Idris Elba, who along with Pharrell Williams and Bruno Mars was ranked among PEOPLE’s sexiestMan Alive this year.

  Idris Elba

  Whether playing a revolutionary African leader in Mandela or sworn guardian of the heavens in the Thor movies, this sexy Brit never fails to bring the intensity on-screen. Behind that polished exterior, we like to think there’s a bad boy just waiting to breakout.

Pharrell Wiliams 

This music and fashion mogul may be off the market, but that doesn't mean we cant appreciate his fine crafted form. He must have found the fountain of youth cause he hasn't aged a bit  since bursting on to the scene with the Neptunes. What ever it is bro we definitely want some.

Bruno Mars

The Hawaii native is known for burning up the dance floor with his signature brand of jukebox pop. We think we'd be OK with being locked out of heaven if it meant spending eternity with him

   

Michael B. Jordan

Warning: prolonged exposure to the fruitvale station star's warm smile is known to cause shortness of breath, swift heartbeat and even dizziness. But this charming leading man is definitely worth it.

Jay Ellis

Taking on the role as the new kid on the block Bryce "Blueprint" Westbrook on The Game, the South Carolina native easily won us over with his model good looks and impressive business acumen (he's co-owner of spin and Pilates health clubs in Louisiana and was previously an executive in the retail industry). We dont need a blue print to see that this hunk is the total package.

Terrence J.

Terrence's go-getter attitude has brought him great things so far; he held down 106&Park as host for seven shinning seasons and is currently working his magic as co-host of E News, charming, handsome and incredibly talented, we're sure things are only going to get better for this rising star. 

Omari Hardwick

The Savannah, Georgia native has a knock for playing the tough guy on screen, so we love seeing his vulnerable side as Ghost on Power. With those muscular shoulders, he's the yummiest handyman around and we'd definitely keep him home on speed dial.

Morris Chestnut

Nearly 15 years after he first stole our heart in The Best Man, this actor stil got it. Handsome and notably humble, he has taken his title as a sex symbol in stride over the years, telling fans on The Wendy Williams Show. "if thats the label people want to be put on me, cool... i want you guys to know i appreciate it." What a gentle man. 

Nathan Owens

You may recognize this San Francisco native from his modelling campaigns for Gap, Polo and GQ. The model-actor currently stars as Dr. Cameron Davis on Days of Our Lives. With his soulful brown eyes and chiseled abs, we're sure his bedside manner is excellent.

Columbus Short 

Theres nothing sexier than when a man has his lady's back, like the actors character Harrison Wright does for Olivia Pope on Scandal. We definitely wouldnt mind him coming to our rescue when trouble strikes.

Trey Songz

The singer-actor loves flexing his ripped muscles in his music videos and on film, and for that we are thankful. When Trigga's not stripping down for the camera, hes revving up fans with his hit list of sultry bedroom anthems.

ZIMBABWE: Pastor defends ‘anointed’ condoms

Controversial pastor, Paul Sanyangore, of “anointed condoms” fame, has been asked to stop praying for condoms as this would only mislead and misinform the public.

During a heated and emotive discussion at the Condomise Campaign tent at the International Conference on Aids and STIs in Africa (ICASA), Sanyangore came under fire from the campaign organisers and participants, mostly young people who felt his stance was retrogressive in the fight against HIV and Aids.

“Please stop praying for the condoms, it misinforms the public and is totally against science,” United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) senior HIV technical advisor Bidia Deperthes said.

She argued there was no need to get the condoms blessed, adding religious leaders should not mislead congregants.
However, the 30-year-old pastor defended his actions, saying condoms were physical and when he prayed he was addressing the spiritual side.

“This woman came to a spiritual church and came to me to pray for her condoms. I can only tackle it spiritually,” Sanyangore said.

The pastor, who is also popular for other controversial miracles, said attacks on the church would only drive it away.

He boasted of a congregation of over 5 000 people, saying it was a good platform to talk about HIV and Aids.

“The church is the best social place to discuss these issues; I am tired of burying people who are dying of Aids. I have buried 10 so far, imagine by the time I get to 50,” he said. He said when he prayed for the condoms, he was addressing the spiritual side and, therefore, could not comment on their safety or efficiency.

But UNFPA chief of procurement services Eric Dupont said condoms underwent rigorous tests and were safe to use without being prayed for.

“Condoms should not be anointed. It sends a very skewered message,” he said.

A barrage of questions from the audience attacked the pastor for his actions which he consistently defended.

“I did not say condoms are not safe, neither did I say they are from the devil. Married people can sit down and decide to use them. Condoms should be used, but if people ask me to pray for them, I will,” Sanyangore said defiantly.

A representative from the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe, Albert Maqolo, who was one of the panellists, said several tests were done in accredited laboratories to ensure that condoms were safe.

Sanyangore hogged the limelight after he prayed for condoms during a service. Several women stampeded to have a box of the “anointed” condoms for use in their homes. A certain woman had approached him saying that her husband who had been away for two years after a mysterious disappearance was coming back home.

Man Shot His Mother 6 Times, Cut Her Heart Out, Then Masturbated On Her Dead Body!

A Californian son who brutally murdered his mother with a tomahawk before cutting out her heart told police killing her felt 'good.' Retired high school teacher Nailah Pettigen, 64, was discovered dead at the Fremont apartment she shared with her son on September 29 after her ex-husband became concerned he could not reach her and alerted the authorities.
Her son Omar was arrested a few days later and has today been arraigned on charges of murder and the desecration of a corpse.

The 31-year-old told detectives he had attacked his victim with a hammer and an ax, before he took a revolver out of the closet and shot her in the back multiple times, according to court documents seen by SF Gate.
He then cut open her chest and took out her heart. The killed admitted he later masturbated because 'he needed to be with himself and needed a release after the event,' according to court documents.

Chillingly, police say that Pettigen has shown no remorse for the matricide. He even popped out for a few beers with a friend after the murder.
Fremont police Detective Craig Gaches said in the court affidavit: 'I asked how he felt about his actions and he said, 'good,' Gaches stated in the affidavit. 'During the interview, Omar did not show signs of remorse by crying or being upset in any way.'


Authorities were alerted to the shocking crime after Pettigen's father Saladen became concerned he could not get in touch with his ex-wife for their frequent prayers together over the phone.


Officers arrived at at Rancho Luna Apartments in the 3000 block of Monroe to find the door unlocked and Mrs Pettigen dead on the bedroom floor. There was no sign of forced entry or a burglary.


A long incision had been made along her chest and there were multiple gunshot wounds.
An autopsy found she was shot in the head once and six times in her back. She had also been cut open. 

Pettigen claimed he had butchered his mother because 'she was killing herself with oxycodone she had become addicted to' from knee problems and hip surgeries. 
He told detectives that she they had been arguing and his Mrs Pettigen had been shouting and pointing a gun at him.
Pettigen explained that he used a hammer, which was hanging from the wall in the bedroom, to knock the gun out of her hand. 
The killer then left the room and returned with a tomahawk, a traditional North American axe, which he used to strike her around the head. 


Court documents detail how, finally, he used a revolver kept at the home to shoot his mother in the back.Detectives heard how Pettigen had cut out her heart and held it in his hands before returning it to the body. 
Family members told officers they had notice a significant change in Pettigen since he had returned from a trip Morocco a few months ago. They had also noticed that he and his mother appeared to be arguing.
Omar Malik Pettigen, was arrested in Kensington Sunday morning after police received a 911 call about a suspicious male carrying a duffel bag on the back porch of a home on Lake Drive. He has now been charged with murder and desecration of a corpse and is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin without bail. American High School held a candlelight vigil in honor of the former Math teacher on Monday at St. James Episcopal Church in Fremont. Many of her friends, family and former students have been left devastated by the death of the popular teacher who retired in 2013. 'I tried to be just as good as her,' Rochelle Hooks, who worked with Pettigen for three years, told Contra Costa Times. 'I got a lot of ideas when I shared a room with her. Being a teacher, you're kind of in your own island, you don't really see what other teachers do, so sharing a room with her was a blessing.' Fremont Unified district spokesman Brian Killgore said of Pettigen: 'It takes some special employees to bridge gaps between a lot of languages, a lot of cultures, traditions, things like that.'

Artist With No Hands Creates Masterpieces

Desmond was born with no hands. It’s often called amelia. Amelia is the birth defect of lacking one or more limbs. It can also result in a shrunken or deformed limb. The term may be modified to indicate the number of legs or arms missing at birth, such as tetra-amelia for the absence of all four limbs. A related term is meromelia, which is the partial absence of a limb or limbs.

“I started painting because I was trying to solve a problem,” Desmond Blair said. “I tried writing with my feet, with my mouth, and eventually, somehow, I figured out how to write with both my hands.”

“I started painting because I was trying to solve a problem,” Desmond Blair said. “I tried writing with my feet, with my mouth, and eventually, somehow, I figured out how to write with both my hands.”

“It took me awhile, but I finally settled on painting portraits.”

But when it comes to Blair’s childhood, there’s no sugar-coating what went on or all the hard times he went through to get here. Kids can be cruel.

“I was the only one in my school, the only one in my church, the only one in my neighborhood, with a limb difference,” Blair explained. “Yeah, you’re still the kid that doesn’t have fingers, but you can still do everything everybody else can.”

And Desmond set out to prove that early on. And he surpassed everyone’s expectations.

Desmond excelled at school and graduated high school early at the age of 16. After the the completion of his undergrad degree at the University of Texas in 2007, Desmond began work in the Media Department at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. Desmond’s responsibilities at the hospital included the timely production of print graphics such as logos, T-shirt designs, brochures, presentation graphics and photo re-touching. He was also responsible for…

…photographing hospital activities, staff, and patients. During this time he also taught film and editing to a local group of high school students at the South Dallas Cultural Center’s Summer Arts Program. He then went back to school to get his Masters in Fine Arts in 2009–accomplishing all of this while having no hands.

And from every experience, whether good or bad, or every strange stare, Desmond can smile each and every day because he knows who he is and his purpose.

“All of that stuff, I just put it on a canvas and that’s my personal reminder to get up every day and kill it. I don’t think disabled, I think different.”

On his websites, Blair sums up what he is and what he will be perfectly:

“I am an Artist and problem solver. The two attributes go hand in hand. Speaking of which, I was born without hands. However, that has not stopped me or slowed me down in anyway. I have a spirit or fire. ( Although I think it could just be my grandmother’s stubborness.) I am determined, driven, and I will make my way into history by becoming one of the GREATEST artists in the world with a difference (not disability).”

Man who ate his wife's boiled corpse sentenced 15 years to life in prison

 The California chef who killed his wife and cooked her corpse in boiling water was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison Friday.

Acting as his own lawyer, David Viens gave a rambling 40-minute speech during the court session in Los Angeles. He said the story he told police about stewing the cadaver was a lie — and that he deserved a new trial.

"I loved my wife. I didn't cook my wife," he told the judge, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The judge didn't buy it.

In two separate police interviews played for jurors during trial, Viens described how he bound and gagged his wife's mouth, feet and hands with duct tape so he could sleep in peace back in October 2009. He found her lifeless four hours later, he claimed.

He previously told Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives that he placed the body of 39-year-old Dawn Viens in a 55-gallon drum filled with water and left her to simmer for four days in his restaurant near Long Beach, the Thyme Contemporary Café.

David Viens, 49, later claimed he wasn't thinking clearly when made the startling confession in early 2011.

He had just leaped off an 80-foot cliff in Rancho Palos Verdes as police closed in and was on pain medication following surgery for his injuries, he said.

Prosecutors called him a "manipulator" with a long history of drug crimes.

Dawn Viens was last seen on Oct. 18, 2009. Her body was never found.

The couple's marriage was falling apart at the time of the murder, according to trial testimony.

Dawn told a friend her husband was physically abusive. Another friend heard David say he wanted to "kill that b----."

He later claimed Dawn stormed off after an argument and never returned. Not long after that, he started dating a 23-year-old waitress who eventually moved in with him.

His plot began to unravel when David drunkenly told his daughter from a prior marriage what really happened, the daughter testified at trial.

He confessed to tying Dawn up and said she apparently choked on her own vomit, the daughter told jurors.

He purportedly told the daughter that investigators would never find the body and asked her to send a text message from Dawn's phone to a friend.

"This is Dawn. I'm OK. I'm in Florida and I'm here to start over," the message read, according to the daughter's testimony.

David Viens eventually learned that his daughter spoke to investigators. He jumped off the cliff after he was confronted by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies and gave the chilling account of cooking her remains shortly afterward.

"I cooked her four days, I let her cool, I strained it out," he reportedly said.
