Cardi B shoots wild music video in Miami while she's due in NYC criminal court

Cardi B was seriously hard at twerk on Monday while she was due in court in New York.

The rapper was snapped filming a music video over a thousand miles away in Miami, where she writhed around in tiger body paint to capture some wet and wild scenes for new single, Twerk.

However, Cardi’s hard day’s graft with collaborators the City Girls could be costly after she was allegedly slapped with a serious court warning for not showing up to her assault hearing that day.

EXCLUSIVE: Rapper Cardi B. wears tiger body paint as she twerks on a sandbar during a video shoot in Miami. Cardi and fellow rappers known as City Girls were all dressed in barely there body paint looks and were seen twerking and riding jet skis during the shoot. The shoot was even complete with a floating stripper pole full off dancers. Earlier in the day, it was reported that Cardi had failed to show up for a court appearance in New York. 03 Dec 2018 Pictured: Cardi B.

Pictures now show Cardi grinning enthusiastically on the coast of Miami as she set to work on a stripper pole, which seemed to have been erected on a sand bank in the middle of the sea especially for the video shoot.

The rapper, who gave birth to her first child only five months ago, looked beyond confident in an orange bikini, which was cleverly disguised by her black tiger stripes.

Her bum had been painted with the face of a tiger, with eyes on her back and whiskers on her cheeks.

She was there to work with the City Girls, who conversely dressed as zebras, which could explain why the musician’s defence team were apparently ‘struggling’ to get a hold of her directly on Monday.

According to TMZ, Cardi was due to appear in criminal court the same day, faced with charges of assault and reckless endangerment in connection with a fight at a strip club in August

Kim Kardashian suffers wardrobe malfunction in shredded silver gown

by RITEBET, in

We've all suffered from an awkward wardrobe malfunction or two. Your tights might rip at the beginning of the day and you have to walk around the office all day with holes going up your leg.

Once, my friends bra strap broke and she had to go around with one boob held firmly in and the other, well... not.

#AD

However, we're not the only ones to suffer from wardrobe malfunctions... and Kim Kardashian proved that last night.

As far as malfunctions go, it wasn't the worst (remember when Meghan Markle left the tag on her dress during the royal engagement), but honestly, if it happened to us we'd be pretty embarrassed.

Kim and husband Kanye West were guests at The Cher Show on Broadway last night, and while Kim was posing for photos, one of her boobs slipped out.

Now, it wasn't a pure nip slip and she saved herself by fixing it as soon as it slipped.

She did look stunning though, and while we wouldn't choose the silver shredded gown that she did, she pulled it off nonetheless.

Kanye West apologises for using phone during Broadway show

by RITEBET, in

Kanye West has apologised for using his phone during Cher's Broadway show.

The 41-year-old star and his wife Kim Kardashian West were in attendance for the official opening of 'The Cher Show' - a musical based on the 'Believe' hitmaker - at the Neil Simon Theatre on Monday (03.12.18) but he was publicly blasted for his manners on social media.

Jarrod Spector - who plays Sonny Bono in the production - tweeted: ''Hey @kanyewest so cool that you're here at @TheCherShow!

''If you look up from your cell phone you'll see we're doing a show up here. It's opening night. Kind of a big deal for us. Thanks so much.''

Kanye took the criticism in his stride, and praised the show as he apologised for his ''lack of etiquette''.

He replied: ''The dynamics of Cher and Sonny's relationship made Kim and I grab each other's hand and sing 'I got you babe' please pardon my lack of etiquette.

''We have so much appreciation for the energy you guys put into making this master piece.''

Meanwhile, Kanye's response comes after it was reported that Kim, 38, accepted the private flight the couple - who have kids North, five, Saint, two, and ten-month-old Chicago together - recently took to Japan was ''unnecessary''.

A source shared: ''He feels very inspired and creative at the moment, so she wants to be supportive.

''She is aware of the 747 backlash - it wasn't her idea. And again, she is trying to be supportive of Kanye.''

Although Kim acknowledges that the extravagance was ''unnecessary'', she doesn't have any intention of saying sorry.

In fact, the brunette beauty - who has been married to Kanye since 2014 - ''doesn't expect other people to understand'' their lifestyle.

The source said: ''She realises it's seen as something unnecessary and extravagant, but she isn't making any excuses. They have a different lifestyle and she doesn't expect other people to understand.''

Nigeria: Again, FIFA Snubs Nigerian Refs for FIFA Women's World Cup

by RITEBET, in

The FIFA Referees Committee has selected 27 referees and 48 assistant referees representing 42 different countries to officiate at the next year FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 with no Nigerian match official making the list.

However, seven match officials from Africa will officiate in the tournament, according to a statement on FIFA's official website.

Ethiopia's Lidya Tafesse Abebe, Zambia's Gladys Lengwe and Rwandan Mukansanga Salima are the selected referees from Africa, while Bernadettar Kwimbira (Malawi), Mary Njoroge (Kenya), Lidwine Rakotozafinoro (Madagascar) and Victoire Queency are the shortlisted assistant referees.

The journey to the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 began for an initial group of female referees and assistant referees from all over the world in September 2015, when FIFA officially started its Road to France 2019 women's refereeing project.

Nigeria, who are the African champions, south Africa and Cameroon are the three African nations that qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019.

FIFA had earlier omitted Nigerian referees and assistant referees from the selected 36 referees and 63 assistant referees that officiated at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, so also the 15 referees and 30 assistant referees that handled FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup recently held in France.

As part of this project, preparatory seminars have taken place over the last three years for referees and assistant referees, focusing on protecting players and the image of the game, as well as on consistency in interpreting the Laws of the Game. Technical expertise, football understanding, fitness and the ability to read the game and teams' tactical approaches to each match have been the main topics covered at these seminars.

The referees selected for the next FIFA Women's World Cup™, the most important competition in women's sport, have demonstrated their skills at previous tournaments, including the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Jordan 2016 and Uruguay 2018, as well as the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea in 2016 and this summer in Brittany, France.

Preparation will continue for the selected match officials between now and the start of France 2019. There will be a number of further preparatory seminars, while the FIFA referee instructors will carry out observation work and provide ongoing support and guidance. Every effort is being made to ensure that the officials will be 100 per cent ready for the big occasion.

The FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 will be played from 7 June to 7 July in Grenoble, Le Havre, Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, Paris, Reims, Rennes and Valenciennes. The final will take place in Lyon on Sunday, 7 July 2019.

First female Ballon d'Or winner's victory marred by 'twerk' comment

by RITEBET, in

As she took to the stage to collect her award after being crowned the winner of the first Women's Ballon d'Or, DJ Martin Solveig asked Ada Hegerberg if she knew "how to twerk".

Solveig played music throughout the award ceremony in Paris and danced to Frank Sinatra with Hegerberg.

The Lyon and Norway forward replied "no" and the Frenchman's comments saw social media set alight with people criticising the remark.

"Martin Solveig really asked Ada Hegerberg, the first ever Ballon d'Or winner, to twerk. The absolute disrespect bruh," wrote A West.

"Imagine making history as being the first female Ballon d'Or at 23 and some absolute b*****d ruins that moment for you by asking you to twerk. Wow, men stay disappointing," said TBee.

The DJ has since apologised and posted a video explaining his comments on Twitter.

"This comes from a distortion of my English level and my English culture level, which obviously isn't enough," he said.

"People who have followed me for 20 years know how respectful I am especially to women," he wrote in a caption posted with the video.

Sincere apologies to the one I may have offended. My point was : I don’t invite women to twerk but dance on a Sinatra song. Watch the full sequence People who have followed me for 20 years know how respectful I am especially with women pic.twitter.com/pnZX8qvl4R

Solveig wrote in a later tweet that he had "explained the buzz" to Hegerberg and she had told him "she understood it was a joke".

This marks the first year a female footballer has been recognised with a Ballon d'Or award, which honours the player deemed to have performed the best over the previous year.

Luka Modric, Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder, took home the men's trophy — the first time the award hasn't been won by Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in over 10 years.

Manchester City face Champions League ban over Financial Fair Play breach

by RITEBET, in

An independent investigation into the club's finances was started in the wake of recent Football Leaks' revelations

Manchester City could be banned from the Champions League after an independent investigation into alleged Financial Fair Play (FFP) breaches.

Recently published documents from Football Leaks, including emails from club executives, suggest that almost £60million was paid from the club’s owners, the Abu Dhabi United Group, when it should have been paid by airline sponsor Etihad.

City have previously been fined by UEFA for breaching FFP regulations, and, according to The Times, the punishment for a second breach could be a ban from UEFA’s continental competition.

Manchester City are claimed to be ‘deliberately flouting the regulations’, per The Sun, with a source saying: “You can’t hit a club like City with a fine. It has to be something that hurts.”

An independent investigation into the leaked documents was commissioned last month, and it is expected to recommend charges against City. Aleksander Ceferin, the UEFA president, confirmed that the investigation will be completed ‘very soon’.

“We are assessing the situation,” he said. “Very soon we will have the answers on what will happen in this concrete case.”

UEFA have previously punished clubs for breaching FFP, with Galatasaray banned from the Champions League for breaking the financial sanctions back in 2016.

It is stated the Etihad Stadium club may take legal action against UEFA if they are hit with a sanction.

Kylie Jenner sparks more engagement rumours with diamond ring emoji picture

by RITEBET, in

Kylie Jenner has sparked engagement rumours after sharing a picture of her and beau Travis Scott with a diamond-ring emoji centred between the pair of them. The picture was shared on Instagram and came after she congratulated Travis on his number one song and album.

The pair are thought to have been dating for 18 months and they have a ten-month old daughter together, Stormi. Kylie has been pictured wearing a stunning diamond ring on her engagement finger for several weeks.

The reality star first sparked speculation when she was snapped in Miami Beach wearing the diamond encrusted ring on her wedding finger. She had been supporting her beau on his US tour, and in late November the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star took to Instagram to wish her beau good luck as he took to the stage at New York’s Madison Square Garden as part of his sell-out Astroworld Tour. And just casually dropped the H bomb.

‘The look ya give when ur hubby is performing at madison square garden tonight,’ Kylie commented underneath a photo of herself gazing sultrily into the camera. It’s the latest in a breadcrumb trail of hints left by Kylie and Travis suggesting they’ve tied the knot. Kylie previously referred to her beau as ‘hubby’ in October for the first time as she watched him perform on Saturday Night Live.

New evidence proves the bible is real as Pontius Pilate's ring is found in Israel (photos)

by RITEBET, in

A ring believed to have been worn by Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus, has been found in Israel, archaeologists say.

The 2,000-year-old bronze ring was first unearthed 50 years ago at Herodium, a fortress built by King Herod, but archaeologists recently examined it and found the word, "Pilatus" on the ring. The writing was found after scientists from the Israel Antiquities Authority cleaned and photographed the ring, which showed a wine vessel called a "krater", Metro UK reports.

New evidence proves the bible is real as Pontius Pilate

Professor Danny Schwartz told Israeli news outlet Haaretz:

I don’t know of any other Pilatus from the period and the ring shows he was a person of stature and wealth.

Roi Porat, director of the dig at Herodium said, "the personal connection just cries out". But others suggest that the ring might have been used by a member of Pilate’s staff to stamp documents.

The researchers wrote:

Simple all-metal rings were primarily the property of soldiers, Herodian and Roman officials, and middle-income folk of all trades and occupations.

It is therefore unlikely that Pontius Pilatus, the powerful and rich prefect of Judaea, would have worn a thin, all copper-alloy sealing ring.

Jackie Chan Admits to Cheating on His Wife and Hitting His Son 'Once': I'm 'Very Regretful'

by RITEBET, in

Jackie Chan is making some shocking revelations about his personal life.

The legendary action star, 64, describes himself as a “total jerk” in his memoirNever Grow Up in which he details cheating on his wife, Joan Lin, according to an excerpt obtained by Variety.

The book was first published in Chinese in 2015 and has not been translated into English until now.

Chan has a 36-year-old son — Jaycee — with Lin, and a 19-year-old daughter — Etta Ng — from his affair with beauty queen Elaine Ng Yi Lei.

“In 1999, I made a serious mistake,” Chan wrote in an excerpt obtained by the South China Morning Post. “When the news broke about an affair I’d had that resulted in a child, the media frenzy was like a bomb going off.”

“I wanted to phone Joan but I didn’t know what to say,” he continued. “I wouldn’t be able to explain this.”

While Chan doesn’t discuss his relationship to Etta in the book, the Rush Hour star does make mention of an instance in which he hit his son “once.”

“When [my son Jaycee] was still young, I hit him once, and was very heavy-handed — directly lifting him and throwing him onto the sofa,” Chan wrote, according to an excerpt from Variety. “That time I really scared him and his mother to death, and I myself was very regretful.”

Etta, who remains estranged from Chan, married her girlfriend Andi Autumnlast week. In April, she claimed she’d been sleeping under a bridge with her partner “due to homophobic parents.” Etta, 18, and her girlfriend (now wife) Andi Autumn posted a short video to YouTube at the time, claiming that they’ve run out of options because their friends and family have refused to offer them support.

Speaking to the website Coconuts, Elaine denounced her daughter’s claims, saying she needs to find a job.

In 2015, Etta reportedly told the Express about Chan, “He never existed in my life. I will never regard him as a father.”

“I would not say that he is my dad,” Etta continued. “I would say, ‘Oh, Jackie Chan, an actor.’”

Twitter reacts as Luka Modric wins Ballon d'Or 2018

by RITEBET, in

The Real Madrid and Croatian superstar Luka Modric has added yet another accolade to his stunning trophy collection by winning the Ballon d'Or 2018. With this, he becomes the first ever Croat to win the most prestigious award in football.

The 33-year-old enjoyed a great 2017-18 season with Real Madrid and helped the Los Blancos win their third successive Champions League trophy. He scored two goals in all competitions last season and assisted eight for his teammates.

The midfielder also surprisingly led Croatia to the final of the FIFA World Cup 2018 and was awarded the Golden Ball at the tournament. He won the UEFA Men's Player of the Year 2017–18 accolade along with the FIFA Men's Best Player award.

Modric's triumph marked an end to the decade-long dominance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who won the award five times each in the last 10 years. Ronaldo finished as the runner-up this year, whereas Messi failed to make it to the top three of the Ballon d'Or for the first time since 2006, finishing fifth in this year's final vote.

Mohamed Salah, who enjoyed a brilliant 2017-18 season with Liverpool, finished sixth while Kylian Mbappe, Anthonio Greizmann, Kevin de Bruyne and Raphaël Varane all made it to the top 10.

Big names like Neymar, Paul Pogba and Luis Suarez all failed to make to the top 10.

This year France Football also introduced an inaugural award in the women's category for the first time since the ceremony's inception in 1956. The trophy was won by Ada Hegerberg of Olympique Lyonnais Féminin. Kylian Mbappe was named as the winner of the Kopa Trophy for the best player of the year under the age of 21 at the Ballon d’Or ceremony.

Scores of football fans reacted to Luka Modric's triumph on Twitter, and here is a look at some of the best tweets:

The #BallondOr has lost all credibility as a trophy. Not only does it fail to assess individual success in a team sport, but it's more of a popularity contest than anything else. Messi is one of the greatest players in the world. Ranking him fifth is a joke.

Luka Modric wins 2018 Ballon d'Or to end Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi duopoly

by RITEBET, in

Real Madrid and Croatia star Luka Modric has claimed the 2018 Ballon d'Or at a ceremony in Paris.

It is the first time since 2007 that the award has gone to a player other than Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

The prize completes and fine 12 months for Modric, who won the Champions League with his club at the end of last season and was named Best FIFA Footballer of the Year in September after helping his country reach the World Cup final in Russia, where he was awarded the Golden Ball.

Modric, who is the first Croatian to win the Ballon d'Or, beat off competition from former Real Madrid team-mate Ronaldo, who was second, and France's World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann in third place.

Griezmann's international team-mate Kylian Mbappe was named in fourth place, with Messi fifth. Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in sixth was the first English-based player in the list, while England skipper Harry Kane was 10th.

Lyon's Ada Hegerberg was named the first winner of the women's Ballon d'Or
