Chelsea returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Fulham at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues came into the game on the back of defeats to Everton and Basel, and for a long chunk of the contest the frustration looked set to continue.

Samuel Eto’o flashed a shot wide after beating his marker to a low cross, while Eden Hazard was denied what looked a penalty by referee Andre Marriner following a tangle with Sascha Riether.

Darren Bent had a big chance to make the Chelsea natives extremely restless when breaking in on goal, but he shot tamely at Petr Cech.

Chelsea wandered down the tunnel at the break to the sound of boos from a section of the Stamford Bridge faithful, but they eased the tension with a goal on 52 minutes.

Andre Schurrle beat Riether before whipping in a cross. Fulham keeper David Stockdale failed to collect, and the ball fell to Oscar who stroked it into the empty net.

The points were sealed five minutes from time when John Obi Mikel broke his long scoring duck, which stretched over 250 games, when volleying home after John Terry had nodded a corner into his path.

Kim Kardashian enjoys romantic dinner with Kanye West in Beverly Hills

She’s maintained a surprisingly low profile since giving birth to her daughter North in June. 

However, Kim Kardashian broke her self-imposed publicity ban to attend dinner with her partner, Kanye West, in Beverly Hills on Friday. 

The 32-year-old blonde bombshell and Kanye, 36, made an outing to the newly opened Hakkasan where they enjoyed a low-key double date with rapper Tyga and his girlfriend Blac Chyna. 

No doubt Kim and Blac Chyna will have had plenty to talk about as both are the girlfriends and ‘baby mamas’ of high profile rappers.

Kim looked stunning for her outing, choosing cropped white trousers and a white top along with a soft pink coat  which perfectly matched her newly-blonde tresses. 

Nude sandals and a matching large bag completed her look. 

However, Kanye was more casual in ripped jeans, a T-shirt and boots. 

Since giving birth Kim is said to have been working with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson on getting back into shape.

Speaking about Kim's weight loss Tracy told E! News recently: 'She's a gorgeous woman. I think the reason why the weight is coming off is because she's very connected. I went and met little North and Kim's really taking it in stride.

'She's really connected to the baby, which is what's important. She's focused on the baby and nursing and taking her time.'

However, Tracy also told Us Weekly shortly after the birth that Kim was feeling 'relaxed' towards losing weight.

And she certainly seems to be in no rush to get back into her skimpy outfits.

Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Kim and Kanye are planning to take their daughter on the road to support the rapper during the North American leg of his The Yeezus Tour next month.

A source told website Radar: 'Nori will be back at the hotel. The new parents don't want her to be exposed to a lot of people, and random strangers.

'Kim thinks she and the baby will remain with Kanye throughout the North American leg.

Given the millions of different shades of color that we see in nature, it’s no wonder that, once in a while, nature might simply run out of paint. Perhaps this is why pure-white animals leave such a strong impression on us. Some of them look like ghostly spirit animals. Others, like albino whales or moose, are lonely one-in-a-million albinos with striking, unexpected appearances.

PHOTO: Breathtaking Supercell Storm

These aren’t invading alien ships or volcanic explosions – they’re supercell thunderstorms forming in the U.S.A’s tornado alley. These shots of hail-producing, tornado-generating, thundering super storms were taken this summer by Slovenian storm chaser Marko Korosec.

Storm chasers like Korosec often gather in the central U.S., where the moist warm air from the Gulf of Mexico meets with the cold, dry air from the Rockies and creates the perfect conditions for tornadoes and super-storms. Many storm chasers have specially-equipped vehicles with sensors that help them track the developing storms and, should the need arise, avoid their wrath. These storms bring high winds, dangerous hail and frequent lightning strikes, and they often form tornadoes. Their unique shape forms owing to cyclone-like storms, called mesocyclones, spinning in their centers.

Korosec shot the storms during a 26-day expedition in the U.S. over the summer. He encountered them in the states of Texas, Kansas and Colorado. He spent at least an hour near each storm, and made sure never to get closer than a kilometer to the storms. “I usually observe storms in as safe a position as possible, to avoid any dangerous conditions which could cause us damage or to the vehicle. Storm chasing usually means a lot of moving around, remaining in one position for some time and then moving when storm gets closer,” the storm chaser told Daily Mail.

MAN UNITED / MAN CITY DERBY?

The greatest derby ever?

It's exactly four years to the day since our 4-3 win over Manchester City in 2009, a game dubbed by Sir Alex Ferguson as "the best derby of all time”.
That’s a bold claim, but let’s look at the evidence. Even the build-up hinted that something special was in the offing, with the Blues having gone berserk in the transfer market, most notably signing Carlos Tevez after two years at United. That City were managed by a Red legend in the shape of Mark “Sparky” Hughes only added to a heady cocktail.

When Gareth Barry equalised Wayne Rooney’s early opener, the pattern was set for a see-saw afternoon that saw the Blues peg United back every time the Reds took the lead – until the most dramatic conclusion imaginable.

Craig Bellamy bagged his second goal on the stroke of 90 minutes to level the match at 3-3, but United were not done yet. Ryan Giggs had rolled back the years with an outstanding display all afternoon, and the Welsh wizard had one more trick up his sleeve in stoppage time.

Michael Owen, on as a substitute, was found with a pinpoint pass and his clinical finish past City stopper Shay Given sent Red fans at Old Trafford and around the world into ecstasy.

There have been some dramatic derbies since, including more late match-winners, but this was arguably the best of the lot.

Q & A: Rick Ross talks about Reebok, new music and Jay-Z

ATLANTA -- Even though Rick Ross lost his deal with Reebok this year, the Miami-based rapper continues to sport and promote the sneaker brand.

"I'm still supporting Reebok. I'm still wearing Reebok," he said in an interview last week. "It's nothing more than that. I've been wearing Reebok my whole life. ...Still got nothing but love for Reebok."

The burly, husky-voiced Ross became known for his colorful and heavy lyrics, rapping about the grimy street life, money, luxury cars and women. But the Grammy-nominated performer took things too far on Rocko's song, "U.O.E.N.O," where he raps about giving a woman the drug MDMA, known as Molly, and having his way with her. Petitions were issued by women's groups and rape victims.

PHOTO: The Hottest Luxury Cars of 2013

BMW 4-Series Coupe Concept Why it is hot: This is the hot sister to BMW's flagship, the 3-Series sedan. Spy shots show that it has a more graceful roofline and rounder haunches than the staunch 3-Series. The production version will appear at the Geneva show in March.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster Why it is hot: Possibly the hottest car I have seen all year, despite that blue paint job. The 700-horsepower drop-top looks even better in person than in photos. The two-piece roof is made entirely of carbon fiber.

Mercedes-Benz CLA Why it is hot: Compact, with four doors. Tuned by the Mercedes performance division, AMG. Also: Kate Upton!

Audi R8Why it is hot: It is a V10, for starters. It looks calm, efficient and domineering in a very self-assured way. It is one of the few bona fide supercars you can use as a daily-driver (a new dual-clutch automatic transmission is available). Every auto critic loves this car. 

Cadillac ATSWhy it is hot: This is Cadillac's attempt at taking down the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and Lexus IS. The automaker has realized it needs something between the CTS variants that can compete in the sport sedan category. Most importantly: A Corvette-produced V8 will be under the hood. Look for it to be muscle-y and earnest to drive.
