Update:: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are no more, TMZ reported on Tuesday (February 19) after the E! reality star reportedly found out that he cheated on her with Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods. As per the new recent report, Thompson flew into Los Angeles to spend time with his family on Valentine's Day, but his trip took a turn for the worse over the weekend. On Sunday, he was spotted at a house party, where he allegedly snuggled up with Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods. Sources close to TMZ revealed that the pair were all over each other and made out in the party.

Update:: Lady Gaga is a single woman! According to People, the A Star Is Born actress and her fiancé Christian Carino have split. "It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end," a source told the mag. "There’s no long dramatic story."

The 32-year-old singer announced their engagement while being honored at Elle's 25th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration in October. "Thank you to all the loved ones in my life," she said on stage. "[My manager] Bobby [Campbell], I love you. Everyone at table five. My fiancé, Christian. All the loved ...

Update:: Zimbabwe could run out of bread in a week after flour stocks dwindled due to the country’s failure to pay for imported wheat, according to a confidential letter written to bakers by the country’s grain millers’ group on Monday. The country is in the grip of a severe shortage of U.S. dollars that has sapped supplies of fuel and drugs, as President Emmerson Mnangagwa struggles to live up to pre-election promises to quickly revive the troubled economy. Zimbabwe imports wheat, which it blends with its local crop to make flour for bread, the country’s second major staple after maize meal. The Grain Millers Association (GMAZ) general manager Lynette Veremu wrote to the National Bakers Association of Zimbabwe (NBAZ) to tell them the country has not paid for 55,000 tonnes of wheat in bonded warehouses in Mozambique and Harare. “We regret to advise that the current stocks for foreign wheat for bread flour have depleted to 5,800 tonnes and … we are left with less than eight ...
