This is the kind of story that will no doubt sustain the British tabloid industry for the next five years:  Prince William  attended the wedding of his ex-girlfriend over the weekend. And it was over Easter weekend. And it was in a different country. And  Kate Middleton  wasn’t there. This is the not- actually -scandalous story that still  feels  scandalous which the  Daily Mail  and friends love to sink their teeth into. Jessica (who goes by “Jecca”) Craig  married  Jonathan Baillie , a conservationist, on Saturday at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, located in Kenya. William dated Craig during his “gap year” before he enrolled in university, and he is said to be on very friendly terms with Craig and her family: he attended the wedding of her brother in 2008, and actually propos...

Capitol shooting suspect was known to police.  U.S. Capitol Police shot a Tennessee man Monday afternoon after he pulled out a gun at the Capitol Visitor Center, law enforcement officials said. A female civilian bystander was injured by shrapnel, but no U.S. Capitol Police officers were injured. "We believe this is an act of a single person who has frequented the Capitol grounds before, and there is no reason to believe this is anything more than a criminal act," U.S. Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa said. He said the gunman, who law enforcement officials identified as Larry Russell Dawson, is currently in surgery at a hospital and that a weapon was recovered on the scene. Verderosa also described the woman's injuries as "minor" and said she was transported to a hospital. The gunman attempted to go through the metal detectors at the Capitol Visitor Center entrance. When those magnetometers beeped, he was stopped by security and then pulled out a gun. A...

Washington (CNN) — The U.S. Capitol and White House are on lockdown following reports of shots fired at the Capitol Visitor Center. Congressional staffers were sent a notice to shelter in place, instructing them to lock doors and move to assigned shelter areas. Those outdoors were told to "seek cover away from the area." "We are aware of reports of shots fired and the shelter in place. We are working with the Capitol Hill Police Department to investigate the situation," D.C. Metropolitan Police spokesperson Alice Kim said. The Supreme Court, across the street from the Capitol Visitor Center, has now closed its entrances, but according to a spokesperson the court is not "sheltering in place

Time magazine knows this and  once again included Kim Kardashian  on its annual  list of the most influential people on the Internet.  Kardashian's inclusion is a no-brainer, since the reality star has amassed more than 130 million followers across Instagram, Twitter and Facebook -- and that's not including the millions more who followed her when  she joined Snapchat last week . There's also something to be said for a woman who can launch 1,000 think-pieces with the  push of a share button . What's more, Kardashian is an  entrepreneur . Her  mobile video game raked in millions  and launched two successful paid apps with in the last year, including her  Kimoji app, which "broke...

9 Sometimes, finding cheap, affordable fashion that reflects the  real you  can be a challenge, you know? But it's a challenge that gross date rapists don't have to deal with anymore, thanks to a new,  extremely rape-y, extremely disturbing T-shirt from Forever 21 . The shirt, which is black and white and depressingly boring (outside of the text, of course), reads, "DON'T SAY MAYBE IF YOU WANT TO SAY NO." So, let's discuss. Rape-y, right? Right. Maybe on a lady it'd be some kind of empowering reminder, but on a dude, it feels like an excuse to go ahead with nonconsensual sex. Which, of course, is rape. Also, the text leaving the box feels like some statement on "breaking boundaries" and "being revolutionary," but it could also just be sloppy design. Your call. Forever 21 was called out big-time for this one, and here was its response: Forever 21 strives to exemplify the highest ethical standards and takes...

Yunusa Dahiru Modupe Ogunbayo It is worrisome on all levels. It is, that Yunusa Dahiru Bala undertook the long distance travel from Kano to Bayelsa just for satisfying his bacchanalistic instinct of getting a young Kaffir girl as bride, August 12, 2015. Beyond the obvious condemnation, I recoil at the more blood-curdling aftershocks of this surreal incident. Upon the liberation of Yunusa’s forced captive, the name and pictures of this innocent girl’s full frontal face were prominently blasted all across our print, electronic and social media. Now, I am a proud member of the Nigerian media and I often glory in its effort in bettering this society and holding wrongdoers accountable on the people’s behalf despite tough limitations and often under hazardous conditions. But, with this, we crossed the line. Publishing Victim X’s name and pictures is a breach of the craft’s ethics; I suspect the breaking nature of the story led to an unconscious obliviousness to its ills because idea...
