Girl in the hood: Rita Ora wears a cloaked cherry red gown as she parties until 4:30am at her 70's themed birthday party

She kicked off her birthday celebrations by posting a sassy shot on Instagram – and it was an equally upfront Rita Ora who attended her 70s themed party on Tuesday evening.
The hit-maker turned 23 on November 26 and she was keen to finish her big day in style with a star-studded party at central London night club The Box.
With a retro theme and a guest list that included Kelly Brook, rapper Eve and current beau Calvin Harris it was never going to be a low-key affair – and so it proved when Rita arrived in a plunging cherry red ensemble. 

Let's go: Rita Ora makes her way to The Box nightclub, where she celebrated her 23rd birthday on Tuesday evening

The singer was quite a sight as she climbed from the rear of a black cab with pal Kyle De'Volle, her outfit’s generous hood loosely hanging over her bouffant hair.
Its deep neckline afforded waiting photographers a view of her ample cleavage, while the large thigh-length slash gave her the opportunity to show off a very toned right leg.
Flanked by security guards, Rita quickly sashayed across the pavement in one of her birthday presents – the stylish Christian Louboutin heels she’d proudly showed off on Instagram earlier that day.

Fearne Cotton perfects sleek chic with red lips and lace dress at Celebrity Juice wrap party with Leigh Francis

Fearne Cotton looked festively fabulous as she stepped out with Celebrity Juice creator Leigh Francis for the program’s wrap party on Monday.

With lashings of red lipstick, the mother-of-one looked radiant in a red lace dress but kept warm in London’s icy weather in a thick, black overcoat.

Keeping her hair and make-up simple, the star opted for a lick of black eyeliner and sleek hair in a ponytail.

There was no sign of her co-star and best friend Holly Willoughby at the wrap night out – Holly also presents This Morning, so it’s presumed the star was having a sensible, early night.

Recently Fearne’s been spotted out and about in London modelling her new Very.co.uk range.

The star’s been throwing herself back into her work at Very, BBC Radio 1 and Celebrity Juice since she gave birth to her first child, son Rex, who was born in February.

Being Prime Minister is like being in an 'asteroid shower', Cameron claims because you have 'things flying at you every day'

Running the country is like being stuck in an ‘asteroid shower’, David Cameron has complained.
The Prime Minister revealed his struggle to cope with the bombardment of questions on foreign affairs.
And while trying to deal with global problems he also has to contend with his gaffe-prone ministers going off message.

Pressure: David Cameron told students of the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta about the challenges of being Prime Minister

Mr Cameron has already used his trip to India to air his grievances with life at the top, grumbling about having to make compromises with the Lib Dems and not getting a Tory majority.

But speaking to students in Calcutta he revealed how the blizzard of issues which are thrown at him can leave him struggling to cope.
He said: ‘It’s like sometimes being in a sort of asteroid shower, things flying at you every day.
‘You know, “Should you go to Sri Lanka?”, “What are you going to do about the famine in the Philippines?”, “Why has this minister done that?’ All these things are coming at you”.’
Mr Cameron said he coped by having a firm idea of what he is trying to achieve while in government or he will lose his way. ‘You’ve got to have a plan,’ he said.
Earlier the Prime Minister admitted that the coalition government has made decisions that are not in the national interest.

House Of Reps Raises Alarm Over $326m Paid To Tompolo

The House of Reps ad-hoc Committee investigating the Cabotage Vessel Financing Fund, CVFF, has queried the management of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency NIMASA, over $326million it paid to Global West Specialist Vessels Limited, a company purportedly owned by ex-militant leader, Chief Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo.

The House Committee was set up to ascertain how much has accrued into the CVFF, including the interest, as well as how much the Fund disbursed and to whom it gave the money. It also demanded to know why such huge amount of payment was made to Tompolo's company secretly.

During the investigation, a member of the Committee, Dr Adejare Samuel Babatunde, raised an alarm at the amount of money paid to one single company, and demanded that a detailed bank statement of account of the CVFF be forwarded to the committee immediately.

nPDP In Fresh Battle With Old PDP; Lambasts Tukur, Others

The Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is amused by the news of the setting up of a Disciplinary Committee by the faction of PDP led by Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.

“By reviving the so called disciplinary committee at a time when the Party Leader, His Excellency, President Goodluck Jonathan, is busy holding peace meetings with the Baraje-led PDP shows that he is working at cross purposes with Mr. President. To call a spade a spade, it is tantamount to anti-party activities and exposes Tukur’s hypocrisy and vindicates our stand that he is an obstacle to peace in our great party”. 

The faction in a statement signed and issued by its spokesperson Mr. Eze Chukwuemeka Eze noted that the purpose of the said disciplinary committee led by Alhaji Umaru Dikko was to continue the witch-hunting of the progressive PDP members led by Alhaji Baraje, then there would be no need for further evidence that Tukur and his illegal National Working Committee (NWC) are indeed not ready for peace.

“If indeed a disciplinary committee has been set up by Tukur, we make bold to say that he should be the first with his illegal NWC members to appear before it for usurping the office of the National Chairman of our party even when he is not legally a member of the party as he did not revalidate his membership of the party during the 2011 revalidation exercise.

“We commend our brother, Chief Olisa Metuh, the former National Publicity Secretary of our party, on his theory of institutional memory loss. Ironically, Metuh was referring to himself as he succeeded in exposing his ignorance about the party he assumes to be speaking for. For him to refer the Baraje-led PDP as people who suffer from institutional memory loss indicates that he needs to visit a mental health specialist for proper evaluation. How can any sound member of PDP describe a party that still has Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President of the Federal Republic, as a member as not knowing the history and records of the party?

"For the record, Atiku Abubakar apart from being a principal member of the PDP also recruited both Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, Alh. Gambo Jimeta, Senator Silas Zwingina and Chief Joel Madaki, among others, to the party in 1988 through Chief Nat Yaduma. Metuh should properly research into the records of people in the Baraje-led PDP before trying to deceive Nigerians with his lies arising from institutional memory loss. Maybe Metuh may not even know that it was Atiku Abubakar that rented and paid for the present National Secretariat of PDP for three years and paid the working staff salaries for three years. 

IRS Aircraft In Emergency Landing In Kaduna With 94 Persons

What would have been another black Sunday in Nigeria was averted by providence as an IRS planecarrying about 94 persons make an emergency landing in Kaduna, due to what a source told ifeomaomama.blogspot.com/ is not unconnected with the "now usual" technical fault.

The incident has thrown the aviation industry and Nigerians who travel by air into panic mood as it appears we are getting back to the days of plane falling off the sky.

Checks by ifeomaomama.blogspot.com/ revealed that the NCAA and the Ministry of Aviation are already looking into a possibility of mass sack, as several of the top personnel are obviously not living up to expectations.

Its time the aviation sector is overhauled!
