Gremlins & Terminator Actor Miller Dies Aged 90

Gremlins and Terminator actor Dick Miller, has died aged 90, after enjoying a career spanning more than 60 years.

The prolific screen actor is best known for his role as Murray Futterman in the 1984 classic horror film Gremlins, though he made hundreds of on screen appearances since his debut in the 1950s.

His first appearance came as Walter Paisley in the cult classic 'A Bucket of Blood' under the directorship of Roger Corman.

One of his earliest screen appearances was in 1955's 'Apache Woman', in which Miller played two characters, one of whom shoots the other during a key sequence in the film.

He may be most memorable for his performance as Murray Futterman in Gremlins.

Joe Dante, Dick's director on Gremlins, has shared his despair at the news in a couple of tweets.

Joe wrote: "I'm devastated to report that one of my best friends and most treasured collaborators has passed away. I "grew up" (kinda) watching Dick Miller in movies from the 50s on and was thrilled to have him in my first movie for

"We hit it off and every script thereafter I always looked for a role for Dick--not just because he was my friend but because I loved watching him act! But he leaves behind over 100 performances, a bio & a doc--not bad for a guy who hardly ever enjoyed a starring role."

Ahead Of First Birthday Kylie Jenner Posts Sweet Video Of Daughter

She's about to celebrate her first birthday, and Stormi Webster is as curious as ever. On Wednesday, Kylie Jenner posted a sweet video of her little girl playing with paper butterflies at their home.

The tot giggled in delight as she grabbed and tugged the delicate creations.

Though Stormi was clearly having a blast playing with the butterflies, it seems she was a little too rough when grabbing them.

After the youngster plucked a paper butterfly from her teepee, Kylie remarked, 'Oh, don't break it.'

'You're dropping all of them, you're breaking them,' Kylie said softly as she watched her daughter eagerly pull them off the wall.

In spite of the mess, Kylie couldn't get upset at her youngster.

She captioned the video, 'She loves butterflies,' along with an emoticon of the blue winged creature.

Kylie and her boyfriend Travis Scott welcomed baby Stormi last year.

The tot will be celebrating her first birthday on February 1.

Jailed Labour MP Faces Having Her Sentence Extended

Jailed MP Fiona Onasanya could have her sentence increased after members of the public complained that it was too soft.

The ex-solicitor, who has been kicked out of Labour, was locked up for three months for perverting the course of justice after lying over a speeding ticket.

But the jail term is now being reviewed by Attorney General Geoffrey Cox, the Government’s chief law officer, under an unduly lenient sentencing scheme.

Within 24 hours of Onasanya’s jailing on Tuesday, his office received at least 20 complaints from members of the public who felt it wasn’t long enough.


If Mr Cox believes she should have been locked up for longer, he can refer the case to the Court of Appeal to be looked at again. His spokesman said last night: ‘We have received a request for the case of Fiona Onasanya to be considered. Law officers have 28 days from sentencing to consider the case.’

At the Old Bailey on Tuesday, Mr Justice Stuart-Smith said the sentence of the Peterborough MP was the ‘shortest I feel able to impose’. He added: ‘I make plain I will not treat you more severely because of your position as an MP and former solicitor.

‘There cannot be one law for those in positions of power, privilege and responsibility and another for those who are not.’

John Legend Shares Video Of Himself Learning To Swim

On Monday he revealed on Twitter that he had been taking swim lessons for the first time since he was a child.

And on Wednesday John Legend took to his Instagram stories to share a video of himself in a small outdoor pool having his second session.

It showed him pushing off from the side and reaching out with his arms as he kicked.

The crooner managed to reach the other side of the pool in just one breath, probably thanks to his great lung capacity developed during his singing career.


The 40-year-old didn't say anything during the video, but he wrote 'swim lesson #2' on the video and credited @kidswimla. 

On Monday John revealed: 'I can't really swim. Today I took my first swim lesson since I was like 5. My dad learned in his 60's so I feel like I'm ahead of schedule.'

25-Year-Old Panel Beater Steals Brother's Wife's Pants

Adejoh Ojonugwa, a 25-year-old panel beater, has been arrested in Ondo State for stealing underwear belonging to his elder brother's wife.

Ojonugwa was apprehended by officers of Ondo State Police Command after the case was reported.

The suspect was nabbed alongside one Prophet Olajide Ogunleye of the Celestial Church of Christ, Ibanujemidopin Parish in Uso Local Council Area of the state.

SaharaReporters gathered that the 53-year-old prophet is well-known in the state.


During interrogation with reporters, Ojonugwa, a native of Kogi State, said he only visited the prophet for spiritual cleansing as he needed a solution to his problem.

Narrating his side of the story, he said: "I went to seek spiritual cleansing from Prophet Ogunleye and when I got there, he prayed fervently for me. In fact, he asked me about the job I do, and I told him that I am a panel beater, which has been my trade for a very long time.

"Later, he asked me to open my hand, and he dropped something on it for me to swallow, which I did. After I swallowed it, he prayed for me and I left his place. But when I got home, I became unconscious. Later, I began to look for my brother's wife underwear and I took them to the Prophet for some ritual purposes. Sadly, hours later, my brother's wife raised the alarm that her underwear garments were missing and I was arrested.

"When the Police arrested me, I was taken to Uso Police Station before they transferred me here to Akure. Two of the items belong to my brother's wife and three belong to my younger sister.”

The Prophet, however, denied the allegation, stating that he was only being implicated by the suspect.

His words: "I am a true man of God and I have never seen the boy (Ojonugwa) in my life. He is just lying against me. The truth of this matter is that they came to me for a parcel of land and I refused to give them. I never asked him to bring any underwear for rituals. So, they feel it is an opportunity to implicate me in this crime since I had refused to give them the land to cultivate Indian hemp.

"Though, I engage in some spiritual cleansing for people, mostly pregnant women who have difficulties so they can give birth early and easily, I don't engage in rituals as it is against the belief of our church. I only see the allegation as pure lies against me.”

Visibly angry, the elder brother of the suspect, Benjamin Ojonugwa, said his younger brother had always wanted to have money “by all means, even through rituals".

"He is my own younger brother and has always been in haste to have money through any means, but I just thank God that he was exposed. He stole my wife’s underwear, and wanted to use it for ritual purpose, so that he will have more money than me,” he said.

Grace Ojonugwa, the victim, confirmed that the suspect stole her underwear from where she spread it to dry in the house.

"It was my husband's younger brother that stole the pants. He was actually trailing me to spread it and when I discovered that the pants were missing, I knew he stole it," she said

Femi Joseph, spokesman of the Ondo State Police Command, said the suspect and the Prophet were arrested last week by the Police.

Joseph, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), said the cases of "stolen female underwear" were now becoming a trend and advised ladieas to be on their guard.

"We have to guard whatever we are putting on. I also advise parents to warn their children, particularly females, to be very careful where they keep their undergarments,” he said.

He added that the suspects would be charged to court soon.

Man With Three Wives R*pes Daughter In Ogun

The Ogun State Police Command, on Wednesday, announced that its operatives had arrested a 45-year-old man, Idowu Owolabi, for allegedly raping his 21-year-old daughter.

Owolabi, who has three wives, was accused of having carnal knowledge of his daughter since last year.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said this in a statement made available to journalists in Abeokuta.

Oyeyemi said both the suspect and the victim were residents of the Papa Olosun area of Oja-Odan in the Yewa South Local Government Area of the state.


The PPRO explained that Owolabi was arrested on January 28, 2019, following a complaint by the victim at the Oja-Odan Divisional Police Headquarters.

He said, “The victim reported that she followed her father to the farm at Fagboun village and the said father forcefully had carnal knowledge of her right there on the farm sometime in March 2018.

“She stated further that since then, her father had continuously been having unlawful carnal knowledge of her with a threat that he would kill her if she dared tell anybody about it.

“Upon the report, the DPO Oja-Odan, CSP Olayemi Jacob, led his detectives to the suspect’s residence, where he was promptly arrested.

 “On interrogation, the suspect, who was said to be married to three different women, confessed to the crime but blamed it on the devil.

“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the immediate transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for proper investigation and possible prosecution of the suspect.”

Obasanjo Gives 3 Reasons He Turned Around To Support Atiku’s Presidential Race

Olusegun Obasanjo, has again defended his decision to support the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

Obasanjo in a statement to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Lagos Island Club said he has been called several names for sticking his neck for his former deputy.

Recall Obasanjo had in the past described Atiku as a ‘shameless liar’ and said God would never forgive him if he supports his presidential bid.

He has since announced that he has forgiven Atiku after the intervention of some clerics.


THREE REASONS

In his statement, Obasanjo said he has not retracted his words on Mr Abubakar but that the presidential candidate “has done three things which are absolutely imperative for a leader to be followed and believed.”


“First, know who you are and present yourself as you are – a human being in blood and flesh and susceptible to human mistakes and human frailties. Don’t cover up with sanctimonious veneer of bogus integrity, incorruptibility, uprightness, goodness and false figures and statistics, all of which are contrived to deceive, to cheat, to plunder and to destroy.

“Atiku never claimed to be a saint and I never described him as such. I will never so describe any human being alive let alone calling him a Messiah. On an occasion in the past when I said that someone was not a Messiah, some Nigerians out of bad belle were up in arms. For me, as a Christian, the only Messiah I know and have is Jesus Christ and even then, the man aspect of Him was imperfect while the divine aspect of Him was perfectly messianic.

“Secondly, a leader must be honest to himself and to the people he serves or he wants to serve. He must identify and acknowledge his situation, mistakes, shortcomings and inadequacy; show remorse where and when he has erred, seek forgiveness and repent; and not passing the bulk or keep blaming others and fail to accept responsibility. Atiku accepts responsibility for his mistakes, shows remorse and seeks forgiveness from his political party and subsequently from Nigerians. He asks for forgiveness from me and as a believer, a Christian as such, I forgave him in accordance with the teaching and instruction of my Saviour, “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins (Matt 6:14-15 NIV). If anybody blames me for forgiving Atiku, I leave such a person with God Almighty, especially as both Christian and Islamic clerics joined Atiku to visit me to seek forgiveness. Anybody who does not forgive when forgiveness is sought with contrite heart cannot be a true believer and should not expect the forgiveness of God.

“Thirdly, as a leader, you must understand the fundamentals of the problems you have to solve and be courageous, visionary and ready to reach out sufficiently to build a credible team of experts, knowledgeable men and women, concerned and interested citizens and non-citizens to work hard and tirelessly for solutions that will benefit all Nigerians and indeed Africans and humanity. He must have ability to build a credible team, lead them, listen to them and give them enough leeway to achieve and make meaningful contribution without abdicating his responsibility. He must be accessible to them. From my personal knowledge of Atiku, he has these qualities.”

Woman Dies Hours After Giving Birth To Quintuplet

Emmanuel Ezunu, Head, Clinical Services and Training, Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Asaba, has confirmed the death of a housewife who died 15 hours after she was delivered of a set of quintuplet.

Mr Ezunu who made the confirmation to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Asaba, said Chukwunonso Onyejekwe, 29, died of complications after delivery.

According to him, the deceased suffered acute respiratory failure and died after a successful Cesarean Session (CS) delivery.

NAN gathered that late Mrs Onyejekwe was delivered of a set of five female babies.


Mr Ezumu said that the woman was brought into the hospital as an un-booked patient, and due to her emergency condition, she was taken straight to the theatre.

“Also, when she came, we noticed that her blood pressure was so high and the condition put her in a high risk for a normal delivery.

“So, we recommended a caesarean session for safe delivery and she was moved to the theatre for an emergency CS,” he said.

According to the medical officer, the woman never knew she was carrying a set of five babies.

He said late Mrs Onyejekwe told the hospital that the last scan she had revealed she was carrying a set of triplet.

Mr Ezunu said that doctors in the hospital successfully delivered the woman of a set of quintuplet at about 9 p.m. same day.

“We delivered the woman of a set of quintuplet, but moments after the delivery she developed respiratory failure.

“We had to rush her to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where doctors and nurses battled unsuccessfully to stabilise her deteriorating condition.

“Unfortunately, the woman gave up at about noon the next day,” he narrated.

Mr Babatunde, whose department handled the emergency delivery, disclosed that the babies were 31 weeks old upon delivery.

He said after the delivery the woman twice suffered cardiac arrest in a space of thirty minutes while at the ICU.

“After delivery, the woman developed a respiratory problem known as Pulmonary Throb Embolism (PTE).

“It is a complication that has to do with difficulty in breathing. We tried to stabilise her and while we were battling with that she fell into cardiac arrest.

“We were able to resuscitate her but moments later she fell into a second cardiac arrest. The complications were multiple; they were also occasioned by her high-risk quintuplet pregnancy.

“Pulmonary Throb Embolism is a condition of abnormal blood clot formed in the lower limbs and released massively into the lungs.

“It is so unfortunate that the woman died because after the successful delivery of five babies, the whole hospital was jubilating.

“But our joy and jubilation was turned into sadness and cries. It is really a sad incident.

“However, the five babies are currently under intensive care at the hospital and I can inform you that they are doing fine, “he said.

Woman Reveals Her Boyfriend Is PLANE She Met At Airport Five Years Ago [Photos]

A woman has revealed her boyfriend is a plane she met at an airport five years ago.

Michele Kobke, from Berlin, Germany, calls her partner - a 737-800 Boeing - 'Schatz' and says she was first attracted to his wings, winglets and thrusters.

The 29-year-old claims to sleep with her "darling" every night, either with real components or a 1.6-meter model.

And she says her family have reacted "quite pleasantly".


Ms Kobke says she fell in love with the plane the first time she 'met him' at Berlin Tegel Airport and after nearly five years together, they plan to get married.

"The last time I was in a relationship with a man was in 2011 but there was no love there," she explained.

"Schatz is my first love. This is the most beautiful relationship you can imagine."
She continued: "My first flight was at the end of November 2013 and I became so in love with aeroplanes, I got so excited every time I looked at aeroplane pictures and videos.

"On March 11 2014 I was in Tegel Airport and visited the aeroplanes and then came a 737-800 airplane, which approached me, and I have been so in love with him since.

"Schatz is so nice and I love his aerodynamics and his appearance; especially his wings and his support surface - I love it. I was first attracted to his wings, winglets and thrusters.

"Every type of aircraft looks a bit different and my darling is the most updated version. My love is not easy, because I only meet him if I fly with my 737-800.

"In Hangar and Taxiway is not possible to be with him, so we don't have much time together to enjoy each other's company."
"Since I'm in a long-distance relationship, it is a disadvantage as I can only get to him when I fly with him," she said.

"My family has reacted quite pleasantly and accepted my relationship with my 737-800.
"I get many pejorative comments like that I need to go to therapy or that I am sick. But this love is present, and I've never been so happy.

"I sleep with my darling every night, either with real components or 1.6-meter model. Intimacy is part of our relationship.

"I want to marry my sweetheart and live together in a hangar. It's a special kind of love and it does not hurt anyone."
