Is Kim Kardashian to be blamed for Kanye West's plummeting popularity?

Found this interesting article on Fox News. Please read and tell us what you think 

Is it a "Kardashian kurse" or is Kanye West losing his cool all on his own? In any case, popularity problems seem to be plaguing the once untouchable rap sensation. 

West’s performance this week brought just 4,500 people to the Sprint Center, a venue built for 19,000, meaning less than 24 percent of seats were occupied. He has had to cancel several other shows throughout his nationwide tour and drew criticism when he stopped a Florida concert after only three songs and demanded the lights be turned off before launching a profanity-laced rant at the tech staff and storming off the stage. 
So is West’s egotistical, bizarre behavior finally taking its toll on fans? 

“We are often drawn to people who have an ego and confidence that is derived from their talent. But an empty ego, based on a fake self-inflated image and concept, creates an over powering sense of desperation and superficiality,” human behavior expert Patrick Wanis told FOX411.

WOW! Linda Ikeji to give 10 random people 100k each this weekend!

The number one celebrity blogger in Nigeria, Linda Ikeji is set to give out a whooping sum of 1million naira to 10 LIBers. in her words;

I want to give away N1million this December. N100,000 each to ten LIB readers to say thank you for an amazing year. For all your love, your support, for refreshing this page many times a day, for taking the time to drop comments, for choosing me as your number one source for information, but most importantly for changing my story and making my life much better. 
I'm truly grateful. I've been thinking of how to give back to you guys and decided maybe some money for Christmas will be appreciated. But the thing is, I don't know how to choose the 10 people to give it to. I know I definitely want Bonario to be one of them (if he needs the money) for being one of the most consistent readers and commenters here, I just don't know how to choose the rest. Can you guys suggest ways or maybe names? 
 I want to give the money away this weekend, so if you guys have any ideas on how I can go about it, (I want it to be fair and reach those who really need it) please share. Thanks guys and lots of love and kisses!
Oya go visit her blog, it could be you!!!

NEWS: EFCC Arrests Governor Sule Lamido’s Sons Over Alleged N10bn Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido's two sons over an alleged N10billion fraud.
 
PremiumTimes reports Aminu and Mustapha  Lamido were arrested Thursday in Kano and flown to Abuja on Friday morning, and are currently being interrogated at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja by a crack team of detectives.
 
The arrest of the governor's sons, insiders say, is in furtherance of the investigation that commenced
in December 2012 when Aminu Sule Lamido was arrested at the Mallam Aminu Kano Airport en route Cairo, Egypt for failure to declare the $50,000 he had on him.
 
Although Aminu has since been prosecuted and convicted by a Federal High Court in Kano, investigation as to how he came by the money exposed a web of money laundering in which billions of naira from Jigawa State government accounts are funnelled into the accounts of companies run by the Jigawa state governor and his two sons, amount over N10billion.

Vandalism! Students burn down school buildings to avoid examination malpractice punishment

According to lailasblog source who's a student at the Institute of Management & Technology, IMT, Enugu, the Asa block of the institute was set ablaze last two nights at about 7pm.
Allegedly by some final year students of the school who had been booked for exam malpractice.

The final students who feared they would be getting serious punishment for their act and couldn't think of any other possible way out, decided to burn down the building where answer scripts were packed, so as to get rid of the evidence against them.

Discern the Rumors! Kerry Washington is Legally Married to her Nigerian 'Prince Charming'

Kerry Washington has been faced with a couple of silly rumors lately.
One being that she and husband Nnamdi Asomugha weren't really married. The rumor started like it was straight out of an episode of Scandal: one of Hollywood's top actresses had a secret marriage only for the public to find out that she faked her wedding for a PR push.

But in true Olivia Pope fashion, those rumors are officially deaded. Kerry and Nnamdi are in fact, officially married. Radar Online has obtained a copy of the marriage certificate.

"They are legally married," JoLynn Drage, recorder with the Blaine County Clerk's Office told Radar on Wednesday of Washington and Asomugha

"They first got their affidavit, then the marriage license. They had the ceremony and brought it back with the officiant's signature. Both documents have been filed and recorded, which means a wedding did take place and they are legally married."

So it turns out everything about the marriage is solid, including Kerry's baby bump. Now if we could only get a picture of the couple together!

Scandal! 2 Secret Service Agents Cut From Obama’s Detail For Sexual Misconduct

Where's Olivia Pope when you need her? LOL!

Two U.S. Secret Service officers are under investigation, and another has been removed from President Obama's detail completely, for alleged sexual misconduct.

The allegations stem from a call made from the Hay-Adams hotel in Washington D.C. this past spring, reporting that a Secret Service agent was trying to force himself into a woman's room. That call sparked an internal investigation.

According to the Washington Post:
