Company Invents Headband That Allows You To Control Your Dreams

A company have created an electronic headband that they say can let you control dreams - giving you the power of inception.
Developers at California-firm iWinks believe their Aurora headband can help sleepers make "anything become possible".
The device will let you direct your unconscious thoughts and form dreams to your desires.
Like 2010 film Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, dreamers will be able to create new realms and scenarios to live through.
Danny Schoonover, hardware engineer at iWinks, said: "When you become aware of the safety the world you are in, you can really take control of the events of the dream or just sit back and enjoy it.
The company from San Diego, which is due to release its first prototypes in June, asked for a pledge of around £50,000 ($83 000) to get the project started.

This is just so sad. I think the society needs to start respecting women. Some of these women work so hard, that men can’t even dare to go that lane. They can’t even dare to work that hard. Yet, because they are women they do not get respected for what they have worked for. Her tweets are heart breaking, and I tell you, this is what most successful ladies go through. You can’t even go somewhere alone that you want to buy a house, the questions won’t end. It’s so sad and sickening.

See Her tweets after the cut. You need to start from the bottom and read upwards to be able to understand.

One thing we will never object to is photos of David Beckham in his underwear…like, ever.

We were treated to another round of the awesomeness that is David’s bod when images from his latest campaign with H&M were released.

What’s the occasion you ask? it is a teaser for what’s to come for his second Super Bowl commercial. The first took place in 2012 during the pre-Beyonce Super Bowl era, and this time around, H&M announced, the commercial will be “a high-octane ride with tantalizing views of Beckham in never-before-seen positions.”

We could have banked on this one coming. Sure, the latest brood of Kardashian babies started with Mason Disick back in 2009, but now that the golden child’s golden child has arrived, it’s time to capitalize on the Kardashian name (again), and what better way to do that then by launching a Kardashian Kids Kollection?

While we don’t know much about the collection outside of it being the brainchild of Kris Jenner, the line is said to be an adorable one for little ones.

Barca: We paid €40m to Neymar's mum and dad

Josep Maria Bartomeu confirmed on Friday that Neymar's parents were given €40 million of the total €57.1m transfer deal in the new Barcelona president's first press conference.

Outgoing president Sandro Rosell resigned from his post on Thursday, just a day after it was announced that a complaint by Barca socio Jordi Cases for misappropriation of funds in the deal would be investigated in the Spanish High Court.

BasketMouth is definitely going places.

Man Drags Son Into Woods To Perform Exorcism (DETAILS)

Police in Okeechobee County say a father, high on meth and believing his son was possessed, dragged the 11-year-old into the woods to perform an exorcism on him.

“You are the demon, you are the demon,” authorities say Bryan Adamstold his son after taking him from his bedroom. “I know what I must do with you.”

Earlier that day, Adam’s estranged wife said he showed up to her job demanding her car keys and threatening to take the children. Around 3:00 a.m., Adams snatched his son from bed and took him into the thick brush. When police caught up with Adam and the boy, he launched an attack on the officers.

The State Security Service, SSS, has finally secured a warrant of arrest for the Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Nasir El-Rufai, and has now launched a manhunt for him, the spokesperson for the agency has said.

This is even as armed operatives of the Service again stormed a second house in Abuja believed to belong to the former minister in their desperate bid to arrest him.

They had earlier in the afternoon invaded his first house in the Maitama District of the nation’s capital, but could not find him as he had reportedly gone to pick his children from school. They were said to have tried to force their way in to arrest the former minister.

Jay Z attends a press conference in support of the proposed bid by Forest City Ratner to redevelop Nassau Coliseum, held at Nassau County Police Department headquarters in Mineola

Really, half a billi?

Jay Z just got slapped with a $600 million lawsuit and it’s all because of an angry entrepreneur who claims he trademarked the name “Brooklyn Nets” way before the team moved out of New Jersey.

According to RadarOnline:

“Dr. Francois de Cassagnol, filed a pro se complaint with the Eastern District of the State of New York on December 9, 2013, asking for a juried trial over the matter — and $600 million in damages, at least… de Cassagnol claims that the NBA, Jay Z, and developer Bruce Ratner ”fraudulently conspired” to use “loopholes” in the U.S. Patent Office so that they could use a term he says he registered more than ten years ago. Indeed, documents submitted as evidence show that de Cassagnol filed applications in 2012 for “The Brooklyn Nets Entertainment Logo,” which was first used in the State of Louisiana back in 2003.”

Nicki Minaj Blasts ESPN For Photoshopping Gone Wrong (PHOTOS)

You know what’s so amazing about social media? Not only does it give celebrities a portal to show us some of their work and personal life, but it also serves as a platform for them to tell us when things just aren’t as they should be. The latest example of this is Nicki Minaj’s ESPN Magazine cover.

Kim Kardashian’s been very liberal with her North West pics as of late and we couldn’t be happier about it. After sharing new pics on Ellen recently, Kim took to instagram to share the first ever pic of North and her cousin Penelope.

Looking like baby besties, Kim captioned the photo “BFF’s.” How appropriate.

Sidenote: Is Penelope not turning into a female version of Mason?

Snoop Dogg took the meaning of hotbox to a whole new level Thursday night ... when he smoked out his Australian hotel room so intensely, firefighters RACED to the scene thinking there was a real fire!

Here's what went down ... cops say "smoke from an unidentified source" triggered a fire alarm around 10am ... and firefighters who happened to be in the hotel rushed up to the scene to investigate the situation.

But when they got to the room, the firefighters quickly realized there was no fire ... just a ton of smoke (duh, it's Snoop) ... though officials won't say if weed was involved.
Once the situation calmed down, Snoop actually took some Instagram pics with the responders ... and talked about how he always wanted to be a firefighter.

He does enjoy getting blazed.

Victoria Beckham: I didn't fit in at school

Victoria Beckham was bullied at school.

The former Spice Girl claims she didn't fit in with the "cool" children at school because she was focused on pursuing a career on the stage and as a result was teased by her peers.

She told the Spanish edition of Vanity Fair magazine: "I dreamed with being on a stage. But it was a difficult part of my life. I suffered bullying. I did not fit anywhere... I was ambitious, I made a great effort, I respected teachers and rules. After school I went to dance lessons and singing and acting lessons.

Justin Bieber just ratted on one of his drug suppliers to police -- telling cops, HIS MOM is the one who gave him the prescription medication he took shortly before his DUI arrest.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, cops grilled Bieber on what substances he had ingested before his arrest ... and the singer admitted he was under the influence of Rx meds, alcohol, and weed.

When asked what kind of Rx meds, we're told Bieber said anti-anxiety (such as Xanax) but he wasn't sure exactly what kind ... because he just takes whatever his mom Pattie gives him.

Iyanya in a new interview has revealed he became wealthy not too long ago. He said shortly before he shot his kukere video, he had no money and moved around in Lagos in cabs. But today, he has fleet of cars in his garage. Indeed God is good and He’s changing people’s stories.

His words;
God has blessed me with a range rover of 2010 and I have also driven 2013 and 2014 cars, it’s a blessing to me but I am not a car freak. I still have a prado jeep that was given to me recently. i still have a fond memory of my Rav 4 and I still wish it were right there in my garage so that I can be seeing it every day. Let me not lie, there was a time I wanted to shoot a video and I had no money. It was kukere. I used cabs all round town just to make sure kukere video was out there. So I was using cabs every day and people were surprised to see me in them since I used to drive a Rav 4. It was just to ensure that people kept seeing me on TV and not to forget me"

Patti LaBelle Slams those calling themselves Divas

Patti LaBelle has some choice words for anyone and everyone who calls themselves a diva these days!
In a recent interview, Patti was asked what it meant to her to be a diva, and she let the flood gates open:

"That word is used so loosely that I don't even consider myself a diva. I always considered myself a woman who sings her heart out and who gives 120 percent. 'Diva' is a word that I wouldn't wanna call myself because it's so loosely used. It's not cute anymore...[B]ecause all these little heifers who can't sing are called divas! It doesn't mean anything to me and probably to some of the other ladies who have been doing it for as long as I have:Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick. You know, I'm speaking for me - I don't know if they like to be called divas - but I know I wouldn't call them divas, because it's not in good company...Now you can look up to them (Opera divas), but you might not see what you wanna see. A hot mess! People who are doing it and doing it with about 40 people on stage with them to hide their pitifulness - that's not a word, but you know what I mean."

Patti has officially made it clear that a diva is a female version of a heifer!
Well, we think you're a diva in the heifer-less, positivedefinition of the word, Patti! You're so strong and flawless!
