Is Wizkid dissing Davido?

Following the “Skelewu” drama between Davido and acclaimed director Sesan, it seems Wizkid has decided to take Sesan’s side. The “Caro” singer posted a tweet yesterday that may have been a subtle jab at Davido. 

The tweet reads, “Jaiye Jaiye Video looks mad!!!!!!! Directed by Sesan!!! awa frosh!!!!! we no be smellos! hahaha!”

We don’t know what frosh or smellos means but its provocative… it gets the people going!

Dolly Parton is 'all good' after car accident

Perhaps this experience can inspire new material for Dolly Parton's next rap song. The 67-year-old country music icon was involved in a car accident while in Nashville earlier today, but luckily, Parton (along with the other people involved) didn't suffer any serious injuries.

According to local reports, Parton was the front-seat passenger in a Nissan Xterra when a Mitsubishi Diamante at the intersection of Vaulx Lane and Kirkwood Avenue struck the SUV in which she was riding. The police report states that the two vehicles collided at 11:41 a.m. this morning because the driver of the Mitsubishi failed to yield.

Dolly and the driver of the vehicle she was in were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment, and the country crooner made sure to let fans know that she was just fine.

"I was in a fender bender this morning here in Nashville, but I am all good...," she tweeted. "Just a little tired and sore. Resting at home now!"

Parton's recent visit to "The Queen Latifah Show" airs today, and the music legend showed off her hip-hop chops by busting rhymes in a skintight black bodysuit and giant blond afro wig. (Yep, you read that right.)

The "I Will Always Love You" singer used a few bars to make fun of her famous large breasts and calling out her goddaughter Miley Cyrus.

"Now I don't hip and I don't hop/ I'd black both eyes with this big top," she rapped while holding her boobs. "I know the Queen has got 'em too/ But she don't work 'em like I do/ Whoo, look at them go/ I'm tweaking them/ I'm working, I'm twerking/ Hey, Miley, I have your wrecking ball right here!"

Kim Kardashian Is Engaged to Kanye West

Kim Kardashian Is Engaged to Kanye West

Kim Kardashian got the birthday surprise of a lifetime tonight.

The E! star is engaged to longtime love Kanye West, the rapper popping the question in front of their friends and family at AT&T Park in San Francisco.

Kanye, whose Yeezus Tour touches down in nearby San Jose tomorrow night, rented out the stadium for the occasion. (For all the details on Kim & Kanye's surprise engagement, tune into E! News Tuesday at 7 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.)

And here we thought Kim's 33rd birthday bash at Tao this Friday was going to be the major event of the week. Kanye sure figured out a way to top last year's chocolate cake!

 in fact, Kanye was hanging out with director Steve McQueen at the 2013 Hollywood Film Awards and was the first presenter of the night, making it all the more surreal when he touched down in the Bay Area just a couple hours later. (Way to keep 'em guessing!)

But remember, that's how these kids roll—with style and spontaneity. It was just last December that baby North's proud papa revealed to an arena full of people in Atlantic City that he and Kim were expecting a child together.

They welcomed their daughter on June 15 and it's been nothing but onward and upward for the happy couple ever since.

Kim laid low for a couple of months, keeping both herself and North out of the public eye, but once she was back in the spotlight, it was as if she'd never left. And not long after Kim and Kanye were spotted out toting a baby carrier, North West made her long-awaited debut in August when daddy showed off a picture of her on Kris Jenner's talk show.

Asked by Kris if he remembered it being "love at first sight" when he first saw Kim years ago, Kanye said, "Oh yeah, definitely."

The couple have actually been the subject of marriage rumors for over a year, with Kristelling E! News all the way back in August 2012 that the family "adored" Kanye and "we think they make an amazing couple. We just want them to be happy."

"[Marriage] is something I know that we both want in our future, but I don't have this sense of urgency about it," the twice-divorced Kim herself said in the February 2013 issue ofCosmpolitan. "I have this best friend who understands me and helps me through all my tough experiences, and vice versa, you know? It just feels like this is it for me."

Nicki Minaj flaunts her assets.

Not again,Perhaps it’s a bid to outdo the sexy Kim Kardashian pic that was the buzz earlier this week, either way no one is complaining because Nicki Minaj has once again flaunted her breasts on Instargam!

The rapper posted a picture of her bare breasts with the captions, “Should I add #Pasties to the Spring Collection”.

Closer to a Cure for Baldness

Turning hair growth on its head — by transplanting hair follicles upside down — may provide hope for receding hairlines.

It’s one of the more vexing problems in medicine — about half of men and women over age 50 experience hair loss, from thinning of their scalp to male pattern baldness. Their options, however, are few. Medications can only slow the rate of loss, without generating lush new growth, while surgical strategies essentially move hair-growing cells from one part of the scalp to another, with varying success.

The ideal solution would be one that prompts defective hair follicles to sprout new hair, or that allows transplanted follicles to have a greater chance of laying down roots. And in new research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists led by a team at Columbia University Medical Center reveal one potentially robust way of accomplishing this feat.

Working from the knowledge that hair follicles may need just the right cellular and molecular environment to do their job, the scientists transplanted not just the hair follicles, which serve as the root for new hair growth, but the dermal papilla cells that accompany them. The key was to transplant them in a three-dimensional sphere of cells — and upside down — so that all of the cells could communicate and interact with one another to send the right signals to prompt hair growth. To test the strategy, the researchers grew dermal papilla cells from seven human donors and cloned the cells in tissue culture. After several days, they transplanted the cultured papillae between the dermis and epidermis layers of human-skin samples. The human skin was then grafted onto the back of mice. Five of the seven transplants led to hirsute patches that lasted for at least six weeks.

The hairs were still small, but the researchers are encouraged because they used human skin that normally is completely hairless — the foreskins from circumcised babies. Essentially, they generated hair growth in cells that normally have no capacity for sprouting hair.

“This suggested that if we cultured human papillae in such a way as to encourage them to aggregate … it could create the conditions needed to induce hair growth in human skin,” study author Claire A. Higgins, an associate research scientist said in a statement about the research.

If the results are validated, the scientists anticipate that the technique could be used to treat everything from male pattern baldness to female hair loss and burn patients who have lost the upper layers of skin that contain hair follicles.

2 suspected cultists docked for assault

Two suspected cultists, Olowo Ibrahim, 24 and Iyiola Ibrahim, a.k.a Old Soldier, 23, were yesterday arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court for allegedly belonging to an unlawful society.

The defendants, who reside at 66, Brown Street, Oshodi, and 4, Balogun Street, Oshodi, respectively, were docked before Magistrate Miss Akinde.

The defendants, said to be friends, are facing a three-count charge of conspiracy, unlawful association and assault preferred against them by the Police.

Police prosecutor, Inspector Edet Okoi, said that the defendants and others at large, committed the alleged crime between August 12 and October 17, respectively, at Mafoluku, Oshodi.

He told the court that the suspects, who belong to an unlawful society, assaulted one Lukman Adeleke of 35, Adedeji Street at Mafoluku, Oshodi area of Lagos.

According to him, the offence committed is contrary to Section 409, 40 (1) (a) (b) and punishable under Section 171 of the criminal law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2011.

The defendants, who are clearing/forwarding agent and labourer, respectively, pleaded not guilty to  charges preferred against them.

However, the magistrate granted them bail in the sum of N50,000 each, with two sureties in like sum.

She adjourned the matter till December 5 for mention.

High-tech training: How avatars can aid modern baseball players

Will October baseball be better with giant blue monsters?

In the futuristic film “Avatar,”  miners working on the lush planet Pandora employ giant blue creatures that mimic their body movements -- genetically engineered avatars, the movie suggests. But this is no fantasy: Modern baseball players are relying on the same concept today.

“It gives us an ability to look at forces and torques, and position of the body,” said Donna Moxley Scarborough, clinical and research director at Mass General Orthopaedics Sports Performance Center,according to Ivanhoe newswire.

Working at the clinic in Foxborough, Mass., researchers recently placed a series of reflective markers on 19-year-old pitcher Jake Murray. Motion-capture cameras then followed the positions of each marker to create a virtual version of Jake -- an avatar, although this one is neither giant nor blue.

By watching his own pitching motion as reflected in the avatar, Scarborough was able to diagnose some flaws in the pitcher’s wind up that caused him pain when employing his curveball.

“We noticed that he had some limitations in muscle length and some strength issues,” Scarborough said.

According to Mas General, the facility combines advanced 3-D biomechanical imaging technology with the clinical expertise of athletic trainers and surgeons. The markers worn by the patient represent the pitcher’s body parts to create accurate measurements of speed and forces across joints of the body. This analysis allows clinicians to assess how each part of the body moves.

More than a stunning image, it’s like looking at an entire 3-D puzzle at once instead of the separate pieces provided by static 2-D images like an X-ray or MRI.

“The technology we have here allows us to view the whole body motion in three dimensions and from that data we are able to develop specialized training programs for injury recovery or maximizing athletic performance,” explained director Eric Berkson, an MGH orthopaedic surgeon and Red Sox team physician.
