Almost three years after their highly publicized breakup, Brown and Rihanna stirred up speculation about a reunion on Twitter last week. On Thursday,Brown tweeted “Love U more than u know!” to his nearly 6.7 million followers including Rihanna, who quickly tweeted back, “I’ll always love u #1LOVE.”

The exchange sparked rumors of a reconciliation bolstered by a Dec. 15 tweet by Brown’s mom, Joyce Hawkins: “HELLO LADY I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU!!!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!” Soon after, Rihanna tweeted “Miss+Love u 2.”

Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, six months of community service and one year of domestic violence counseling for assaulting Rihannathe night before the 2009 Grammy Awards. The attack became public when a photo of the “Man Down” singer’s battered and swollen face was leaked to the press.

Even if Rihanna and Brown are hoping for a hook-up, they’ll have to head back to court or wait for the court-mandated restraining order to expire in 2014.

SHAMED Lindsay Lohan has snubbed lucrative offers to host New Year's Eve bashes — to avoid trouble as she completes her probation.



Li-Lo, 25 — convicted of nicking a £1,500 necklace — instead plans a quiet night with pals at her LA home.
A source said: "She's desperately trying to change her party girl image and feels staying out of the New Year's Eve madness is a major step."
Playboy star cover girl Lindsay, who was rapped in the past by a judge for not taking her community service seriously, won praise at a probation hearing earlier this month.
Other star celebrities however are cashing in on the biggest party night of the year.
Reality star Kim Kardashian will pocket £380,000 for attending a Las Vegas club on December 31.
Black Eyed Pea Fergie will rake in £64,000 performing at 1Oak at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
But Mariah Carey will be spending the evening at home with husband Nick Cannon and twins Monroe and Moroccan after she had no takers.
The singer had been looking for a £319,000 sum — according to the New York Post

Rick Ross Cancelled Calabar Carnival Performance - Carnival Pictures 2011

Calabar Festival, Rick Ross Canceled Performance-Carnival Pictures 2011







Rap Star Rick Ross


Rap star Rick Ross had cancelled his performance at the annual Calabar festival
Ross’ reps told hip hop news website Allhiphop.com that the Nigerian show has been cancelled due to ‘unfulfilled contractual obligations’.
The reps denied the Maybach Music Group (MMG) boss’ health was the reason behind the latest cancellation. Ross was forced to cancel several shows in October due to a pair of seizure attacks.
Rick was very excited to attend this event as it is the biggest festival in Nigeria and he is quite disappointed that he will not be performing’, a rep for Rick Ross said.
The Cross River State Calabar Christmas Festival which is one of Africa’s biggest carnival events kicked off on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 and featured performances from Sean Kingston, Asa, Seun Kuti, Timaya and a host of other acts.

Apart from the Rick Ross anticipated performance and disappointing non appearance, every other thing went well, judging by the look of it. Now allow me to give you a pictorial account of the carnival proceedings.

Urban Professionals; 5 New Professions To Look Out For - With Good Pay


In today's urban society things are changing so fast that a person with a normal hobby or ability today may well be the urban professional of tomorrow. Let us take a look at five (5) new abilities that have become hot selling professions in the labour market with good pay.

1) Disease Mapper
Salary range:$40,000-$150,000

Experience/skills: A Ph.D. or master's in a tech field, plus expertise in a particular disease.

Perks: Flexible hours and travel to exotic locales

Who's hiring? Universities, governments, the United Nations, some consultancies

Early in his career, Andy Tatem became so proficient at analyzing fuzzy satellite images of English farms that he could tell wheat cops from turnip fields by studying the way the sun reflected off each.
Disease Mapper
Interesting stuff if you're a farmer, but not sufficiently inspiring for Tatem. Then came a call last year from Simon Hays, an Oxford University researcher who was developing a global map of malaria that could explain current outbreaks and help predict future ones.

Today Tatem, a 29-year-old Ph.D., is among a new class of researchers using the latest satellite imagery, cheap computing, big databases, and free tools like Google Earth to show how epidemics spread around the globe.



2) Robot Programmer
Robot Programmer
Salary range:
 $40,000-$100,000

Experience/skills: Associate degree in a technical field and extensive training. People skills also come in handy.

Perks: Lots of travel, helping clients customize each machine to a particular task

Who's hiring? ABB, Fanuc, Motoman, Panasonic, Toyota

Back in 1990, Matt Zeigler was pulling 12-hour shifts as an arc welder for a forklift manufacturing firm in Indiana when a technician in a white lab coat came into the factory to work on a new $85,000 robotic welder. "I said, 'Why aren't I doing that?'" Zeigler recalls. Self-training eventually got him out of blue-collar work and into a top robot programming position at Motoman in Dayton, Ohio, one of a growing number of industrial robot manufacturers that train humans to make sure their products perform as advertised.

Industrial robots, once a fixture in the auto industry, now are doing everything from analyzing blood samples to mixing cocktails. The latest innovations include multi-armed robots with vision systems and enough machine intelligence to read labels and pick out the parts they need from nearby bins.

Zeigler, 35, spends most of his time behind a PC and a custom hand-held controller, calibrating the robots' moving parts to be in just the right place at just the right time. He is also on the road a lot, acting as salesman, engineer, and installer for Motoman's customers. "I wear a lot of hats," he says.

Far from eliminating jobs, Zeigler says robots are "creating better jobs and better-paying jobs. They're just more technical and not as repetitive."


3) Information Engineer
Salary range: $70,000-$120,000
Experience/skills: Data analytics, network administrator experience, writing skills

Perks: Stock options, free food

Who's hiring? PayPal, Slide, and other Web 2.0 startups unable to stay on top of the data
Information engineer


Every Sunday the three 20-something founders of Meebo, an instant-messaging startup based in San Francisco, meet to talk strategy and almost always end up wanting new data before making any decision. "We'd walk away wanting to know things like where is our churn rate the greatest, or how are the users in Brazil different from those in India with regard to how they navigate the site," says CEO Seth Sternberg.

So Sternberg created a new position--"information engineer"--dedicated exclusively to digging up the answers. The first person to fill it: Bob Lee, 34, a former network engineer at Apple, who now sits in front of three monitors poring over an estimated 200 gigabytes of data every day from more than 5 million users. It's Lee's job, using a combination of networking chops and statistical analysis, to point out trends, explain network hiccups, and reveal what new features are hits or duds.

Other Web 2.0 companies, like PayPal and Slide, have begun adding similar positions to answer queries that off-the-shelf analytics tools can't handle, such as calculating churn rates. "There's all this data available to help make decisions," Sternberg says. "But it takes someone really focusing on it to get the benefit."

4) Radiosurgeon
Salary range: $200,000-$800,000

Experience/skills: Certified radiation oncologists must take three-week training course.

Perks: A broader base of patients and a long-term source of high-margin revenue

Who's hiring? Large hospitals, universities, pioneering small medical practices
Radiosurgeon
For years San Diego radiation oncologist Donald Fuller relied on the standard tools of cancer therapy: radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. But late last year, Fuller and several partners invested $4 million in a high-energy linear accelerator fixed to a robotic arm. The CyberKnife zaps radiation beams with submillimeter precision at tumors inside patients' bodies. After as many as five, one-hour treatments, tumors can disappear in a matter of days.

So-called radiosurgery has been used for years to treat cancer in the brain, where conventional operations are usually too risky. The CyberKnife--manufactured by Accuray and approved by the FDA in 2001 to treat tumors anywhere in the body--is only now reaching a broad population of patients with early-stage lung cancer, spinal tumors, and other cancers.

But it's turned Fuller, 49, into an entrepreneur. If he can treat 150 patients a year for the average insurance reimbursement of $19,000 each, he'll break even on his radiosurgery business by the end of 2008. Afterward, he could be looking at as much as $2.6 million a year in new revenue. "This is the way we are heading in medicine," Fuller says. "It's the way technology is taking us."


5) Second Life Lawyer
Salary range: Too early to say

Experience/skills: Software and intellectual property law expertise

Perks: The freedom to be talking to a client while getting a beer out of your home fridge

Who's hiring? Programmers looking to patent their code

Second Life Lawyer
Of the 2 million or so Second Life members, more than 25,000 are aspiring entrepreneurs. Most are buying and selling land, designing homes and clothes, or creating products, from jewelry to virtual pets. The stakes are small, but they're rising fast: According to Linden Lab, creator of Second Life, only 116 members made more than $5,000 in February, but that number is triple what it was six months earlier.

Count Stevan Lieberman among the virtual world's earning elite. Instead of trying to practice purely virtual law--which few if any lawyers have turned into real money--Lieberman has taken a hybrid approach, using Second Life as a meet-and-greet area for new clients, who then take their real-world legal needs offline. And since he took in $7,000 in fees in the first two weeks after hanging up his virtual shingle, he's optimistic: "I fully expect to keep getting more business this way."

So bullish is Lieberman that he's helping to set up the site's first "law island," a place for other members' practices and legal entities to do business. The American Bar Association and the FBI have asked him to help them set up their outposts too.
