Pictures of Supermodel Alek Wek's emotional visit to refugee camp in her South Sudan hometown

I saw this very torching piece on Mailonline and I was torched, I wanted to share it with the whole world. This lady is so beautiful inside out. Even after so many years and moving on, she still still came to associate with her refugees in her country. What strikes me is the way she looks at home and so like one of them. The way she's dressed is so down to earth that you'll almost think she's one of them. 

Her life now involves pacing the catwalks of London, New York, Paris and Milan, wearing couture clothes costing hundreds and thousands of pounds.
But South Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek has proved she is not going to forget her humble and often traumatic beginnings in a hurry.The former North African refugee has made an emotional return to her homeland, her first since 2005, to mark the first anniversary of the country's independence.And the trip brought back plenty of painful memories.

Rihanna goes about in nothing but bikini top and crochet skirt!


This girl is really bold sha. I mean, who goes about with a bra in a crowded market place without fear of being lynched! I hope she never gets to do this in Yaba market (lol, I know she's got no business there sha) she might not be too happy with what all those Ibo traders will do to her. 
See more pictures of her in the crowd when you continue. 

Pictures of Colorado Cinema Shooter, James Holmes' first appearance in court

Holmes dyed his hair to appear like Batman's nemesis The Joker
 This guy is just delusional! can you believe him, he dyed his hair bright orange to look like the joker (Batman nemesis  in the movie). Fortunately, Prosecutors are considering death penalty but will consult with the victims' family members while legal experts speculate that the Mugshot will likely pursue insanity defence. How convenient! For once, I agree with the idea, that says 'suffer not the witch to live!'
