Queen Latifah cancels Cosby interview after rape allegations resurfaced
(tmz)
Looks like comic genius Bill Cosby won't be getting on the Queen Latifah talk show this week as planned after fresh new rape allegations resurfaced.
Reports say the talk show host and her crew got cold feet after a young comedian and his alleged former rape victim came out firing Cosby for being a serial rapist last and earlier this week.
We previously reported that comedian Hannibal Buress, 33, called out Cosby, 77, last week during a stand up set in Philadelphia ... wondering out loud if people remembered Bill had been accused of rape by 13 women over the years. The old news got re-circulated, even though there were not fresh allegations.
A 47-year-old woman also got to the press this week with her story claiming Cosby repeatedly raped her about 25years agobut couldn't come out until Hannibal mentioned Cosby's crimes in his set.
According to gossip site TMZ, Latifah honchos didn't want the association so they cancelled on Cosby – who was to promote his comedy tour on the show.
They're particularly sensitive because a video from Latifah's show just went viral, showing a 13-year-oldgay kid going crazy on the showafter winning VIP Ru Paul tickets.
Cosby has never been criminally charged with sexual assault ... but he has been sued. One of the show's spokesperson however later told TMZ, "Mr. Cosby's scheduled appearance on The Queen Latifah Show was postponed at his request and was in no way related to any of our recent or upcoming scheduled guests."

Abubakar Shekau
(Premium Times)Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who was in the past reported to have died, has appeared in a new video, refuting claims thatthe Islamic sect has agreed to a ceasefire with theFederal Government of Nigeria.
In a video reported to have been released on Friday, October 31, 2014, Shekau also ruled out the possibility of returning the hundreds of Chibok School girls abducted back in April 2014.
On October 17, 2014, the Nigerian government had announced it was suspending military operations against the extremist group after both sides agreed a ceasefire and that the new development would also see the return of more than 200 girls.
In the recently released video, Shekau also denied links to Danladi Adamu, the man named by the government as Boko Haram’s representative at the talks.
‘We don’t know that impostor called Danladi Adamu, we have never asked him or his like to speak on our behalf because in this war there is no going back’, Mr. Shekau said.
He further claimed that the abducted school girls had been “married off”.
“The issue of the girls is long forgotten because I have long married them off.”
Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister, Aminu Wali had earlier made assurances that talks were ongoing to broker the girls' release and that they would be home in the "very near future."

Another such woman is said to have appeared, this time in the Abule Egba area of the state.
Residents told Linda Ikeji that a bird was flying by and it turned into the half-naked woman who also confessed to killing four people.
The latest “bird woman” has been left to wander the streets. Do you think it's possible for humans to change into birds?
Stories of a woman who allegedly transformed from a bird to a human being in Oshodi, Lagos held the attention of the media after she "fell from the sky" on October 10.
We’ve Accepted Amodu’s Plea for Keshi’s Recall – NFA
The Nigeria Football Association (NFA) says it has accepted the plea by its National Technical Director, Shaibu Amodu, for the return of Stephen Keshi as Super Eagles Head Coach.
A statement by Ademola Olajire, NFA’s Assistant Director (Communications), said the association’s Technical Committee accepted the plea to reconsider Keshi, made by Amodu on Monday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Amodu had been announced on October 16th to take over the senior squad, hours after the team’s 3-1 defeat of Sudan in Abuja.
However, in a letter dated October 27th and addressed to NFA chairman Amaju Pinnick, through the Technical Committee Chairman, Amodu had pleaded that Keshi be reconsidered for the two matches.
He had said the time-frame available for him was “too short to tinker with the fabric of the squad or start to build a new one altogether.”
The statement quoted the Chairman of the NFA Technical Committee, Felix Anyansi-Agwu, as saying his committee had accepted the plea and forwarded same to the NFA Chairman.
“We have deliberated on Amodu’s letter, and after speaking with my committee members, we decided to accept it and informed the NFA Chairman of our approval.”
It also quoted Pinnick as saying on Friday that he had no objection to the proposal.
“I have never had anything against Keshi as a person. Amodu is someone we all respect and, since that is his opinion and the Technical Committee has approved it, so be it.
“I have always said the work of the committees would not be interfered with. We will give the committees the independence to do their work for optimum results.
“I am also assuring Nigerians at home and abroad that the NFA will give Keshi all the necessary support to successfully prosecute the crucial matches,” the statement quoted Pinnick as saying
Compaoré swept from power after 27 years following popular uprising against plans to extend his rule

Burkina Faso’s president, Blaise Compaoré, one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, has been swept from power after 27 years by a violent popular uprising.
Compaoré announced his resignation on Friday as hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in protest at plans to extend his rule. General Honoré Traoré, head of the armed forces, said he had taken charge of the west African country.
Like so many strongmen before him, Compaoré was forced to abandon the luxurious trappings of the presidential palace and flee for safety as his regime collapsed. A heavily armed convoy believed to be carrying the 63-year-old was seen travelling on Friday towards the southern town of Po, near the border with Ghana, according to sources quoted by Reuters. It was not clear whether he would seek asylum.
Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida of the presidential guard had earlier announced Compaoré’s departure in the central Place de la Nation in the capital, Ouagadougou, to cheering from a huge crowd of protesters.
Outside army headquarters, Colonel Boureima Farta, hoisted on the shoulders of other officers, declared: “As of today, Compaoré is no longer in power.” It was a defining moment for the country’s young population, many of whom were not born when Compaoré came to power in the 1987 coup in which Thomas Sankara, his former friend and one of Africa’s most revered leaders, was ousted and assassinated.
Compaoré issued a statement on Friday that said: “In order to preserve the democratic gains, as well as social peace … I declare a vacancy of power with a view to allowing a transition that should finish with free and transparent elections in a maximum period of 90 days.”

The announcement, read out on state television, was a sudden change from Thursday, when Compaoré vowed to hold on to power through next year,after protesters stormed parliament and other official buildings, ransacking them and setting them on fire.
Opposition leaders said about 30 people died in Thursday’s violence. Agence France-Presse was able to confirm only four dead and six seriously injured, based partly on reports from the capital’s main hospital.
For months, an opposition coalition has been urging Compaoré not to seek re-election next year, in what would have been his fifth term in power. But Compaoré and his ruling party looked likely to push a bill through parliament on Thursday that would have allowed him to run again.
Protesters overran the parliament, the vote was suspended and the military announced the legislature had been dissolved and a transition government would be formed. Compaoré said he would lead the government until new elections next year.
Demonstrators rejected that plan and gathered again on Friday, demanding he step down immediately.
Compaoré was a close ally of the US and France but was also close to Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan leader, and the ex-president of Liberia, Charles Taylor, who was found guilty of aiding and abetting crimes against humanity. He had become a regional power-broker, serving as a mediator in the Ivory Coast peace process and in moves to restore civilian rule in Guinea.
The EU called for the people of Burkina Faso to have the final say on who governs the country. A spokesman said: “The European Union believes that it is up to the people of Burkina Faso to decide their own future. Any solution must be the result of a broad consensus and respect the constitution.”
The EU said it was “working with all actors on the ground to find a solution” and consulting with international partners over the crisis. “We are ready to work with the people of Burkina Faso to ensure a return to normality, including the organisation of elections,” it said.
France welcomed Compaoré’s resignation: “France recalls its support for the constitution and thus for early, democratic elections,” President François Hollande’s office said in a statement.
Burkina Faso is a landlocked country with a population of 16.9 million and ranks near the bottom of the UN’s human development index. Nearly half the population lives on less than one dollar a day.
Other long-serving African leaders include Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea, José Eduardo dos Santos of Angola, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Paul Biya of Cameroon and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda.

It does not get any easier for Burnley as they chase their first victory of the season, even if Arsenal are, by Arsène Wenger’s admission, struggling to find their rhythm this season. Burnley have scored only five goals in nine league games and they are likely to adopt a familiar defensive approach, in order to retain a puncher’s chance. The onus is all on Arsenal to find the way through Burnley. They are desperate to find consistency. David Hytner

Arsenal v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light
When Danny Welbeck arrived at Emirates at the end of August, ready to embark on what has already been a hugely encouraging Gunners career, he arrived with the phrase ‘Welbz is dat guy’ fizzing around social media.
The derivation of the phrase? Nobody seemed to know, well almost nobody - the man himself was well aware where it came from and was only too happy to reveal all.
"It started when Ravel Morrison tweeted it [in February 2013] and everyone just cottoned on to it. It’s a bit of slang in Manchester," said Danny, who was with his home town club United from the age of eight.
"Growing up, if you do something people often say, ‘he’s dat guy’. I think I scored a goal and Rav tweeted ‘Welbz is dat guy’ but it could be anything - dat guy could be anyone. It’s hard to explain!
"In high school, " continues the 23 year-old, "people used to say it all the time, a teacher can be ‘dat guy’ if you don’t like him! But it is usually used in a complimentary way. Not many of the guys have used it at Arsenal yet, although Ox has joked around saying it a few times. I didn’t realise it would be such a big thing on the internet!"
With a superb opening goal for the Gunners against Aston Villa, followed by a stunning hat-trick against Galatasaray which drew comparisons with the great Thierry Henry, ‘dat guy’ has taken little time to make his mark at Arsenal Football Club.

There was panic yesterday at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos as a Nigerian, who had already been cured of Ebola Virus Disease in Sierra Leone arrived aboard Royal Air Maroc.
The ebola victim, Mr. Theophilus Onnakhinon, was flown from Sierra Leone by the airline while his younger brother, Mr. Chinedu Eroka was said to have absconded from the Sierra Leonean authorities. It was not however clear why Eroka absconded.
A source close to the Port Health at the Lagos Airport confided in aviation reporters yesterday that the victim had already been treated of Ebola virus in Sierra Leone and cured of the disease by the health authorities of that country after some weeks in their custody.
The source who doesn’t want to be named as he was not allowed to talk to the media on the issue said that the victim was assisted into the country by the Nigeria’s consular officer, Mrs. T. Mohammed.
According to the source, the consular officer accompanied the victim into the country in order to avoid stigmatization by the Nigerian health officials and other authorities at the airport.
On arrival in Nigeria, the victim was immediately handed over to the Port Health officials at the Lagos airport who immediately isolated and quarantined him.
As at the time of filing this report, the victim was said to still being observed by the Port Health officials.
The source said that the essence of his being quarantined in the country was for the Nigerian officials to also check his health status and confirm that he was free of the disease before being released to the public.
The source said:
“It is true that there was Ebola scare at the Lagos airport today, (yesterday) but the fact is that the victim had been cured of the disease in Sierra Leone before being assisted into Nigeria by our consular officer in that country and immediately he landed, he was handed over to the port health authorities who immediately carried out checks on him and isolated him from the other passengers.
“But, the truth is that we just want to recheck what has already been done by the Sierra Leonean authorities. You know, we cannot take chances again in the country. I can assure you that the situation is under control.”
However, the Port health services at the Lagos Airport have declined to comment on the issue and directed our enquiry to the Ministry of Health.
Lionel Messi more skilful than Cristiano Ronaldo - Fabio Capello
Barcelona's Lionel Messi is "more skilful" than Real Madrid's 2013 Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, says former England boss Fabio Capello.
Messi, 27, will become La Liga's all-time top scorer if he scores twice at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday. Portugal's Ronaldo, 29, is 10th on the league's leading scorers list. "Cristiano is a powerful player, with very good technique, but he does not possess the pure technical skill of Messi," Capello told AS.

Messi has scored 250 goals in 284 appearances for Barcelona and is one behind Telmo Zarra's record for Athletic Bilbao in the 1940s and 1950s. He has scored seven league goals this season, nine behind Ronaldo's tally and two behind team-mate Neymar. Ronaldo and Messi, a four-time winner of Fifa's World Player of the Year award, are the only active players in La Liga to have scored over 100 goals in Spain's top domestic league, but Capello believes the latter has the edge in terms of technique. "Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are two extraordinary players but they are different," said the Russia manager, who attempted to sign Messi on loan for Juventus in 2005. "Leo Messi is a very difficult player to play against. "When I saw Messi play I knew he was special. I could see that he could do things that didn't occur to other players."

Wellngton Silva work permit: Youngster dubbed 'new Neymar' wants to become 'icon' at Arsenal
The winger agreed to join the club in 2009 but has been unable to play a competitive game under Arsene Wenger
Wellington Silva is understood to have met the requirements needed to play for Arsenal from next season. The youngster agreed a £3.5m switch from Fluminense to the Gunners back in 2009 after a successful trial, however the deal could not be signed until 2011 due to his age. Over the past four seasons, the Brazilian has been sent out on various loans tp Spanish clubs, including Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Murcia and currently Almeria. Silva will complete the season at Almeria but the 21-year-old has been quoted as saying he has secured Spanish citizenship, which will entitle him to a work permit in the UK. "It's true," he told reporters when asked about his Spanish citizenship. "I can now go back to Arsenal from next season. I would be very happy if I could become an idol at a club like Arsenal." "I will give my best to become a great player." Dubbed the 'new Neymar', Silva has played in six matches for La Liga side Almeria this term, although he is yet to score.
Arsenal vs Burnley: Jack Wilshere ruled out with knee injury as Arsene Wenger reveals further injury concerns with just three fit defenders
Kieran Gibbs is also a doubt for the visit of the Clarets meaning Arsenal could be left with just three fit defenders, Arsene Wenger has revealed that Jack Wilshere will miss this weekend’s Premier League clash with Burnley after picking up a “short-term” knee injury, adding to Arsenal’s ever-increasing injury woes.
Wilshere has been in impressive form of late having enjoyed a strong run in the Arsenal starting line-up, and with Aaron Ramsey only just returning from his own injury the Gunners rarely fielded their strongest midfield. That will be the case again on Saturday as the England international will miss the visit of Burnley to the Emirates, although Wenger remains hopeful that left-back Kieran Gibbs will play a part in the encounter. "There is a slight problem with Jack Wilshere,” said Wenger at his pre-match press conference. “Kieran Gibbs has a test.
"He [Wilshere] got a kick on his knee, it is very, very short-term." Wenger went on to confirm that Wilshere could recover in time to play a part in Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Anderlecht, but admitted that it may come too soon for the 22-year-old and instead could target next weekend’s trip to Swansea for a return.
“I don't know if Tuesday will be too early but certainly [fit for] Swansea,” Wenger added. Kieran Gibbs is an injury doubtThe 65-year-old Frenchman also confirmed that he will not risk starting Theo Walcott against the Clarets despite his return to fitness from a long-term knee injury that kept him out of action for nine months. "Theo is not ready yet. He's been out for too long to start the game. If I can give him some competition I'm happy to do it," Wenger said. "He's eager to play, but that is always the period when the patience of the player is tested. "They feel ready and want to play. Usually they realise only much later they are not completely ready. "I know Theo very well. He's an intelligent player so he knows as well he's not completely there yet." Wenger did have a positive update on the fitness of Olivier Giroud. The striker has not played since the 2-2 draw against Everton back in August in which he suffered a broken tibia, but Wenger revealed that he is “miles ahead of schedule” with the Frenchman originally believed to be out until the end of the year. "Olivier is miles ahead of schedule,” said Wenger. Giroud suffered a broken tibia in the 2-2 draw with Everton"He's doing very well. He's three weeks ahead of schedule and he will join normal training after the international break. Of course it's a big boost."
