Looking like Kim Kardashian, unsurprisingly, takes a lot of work. Thanks to her app, Instagram, Snapchat, and everywhere else we follow her, we’ve become familiar with the glam squad that preps her on the regular. In a recent snap, Kim shared the big news that she had hired some new stylists to get her camera-ready and, um, I think she should fire them. Kim posted a video on her Snapchat story. : — Kim Kardashian West (@KKWUpdates) April 27, 2016 First of all, they seem too young to have jobs — maybe labor laws in California are different? — and second, they’re so rough! While it is nice to have four hands on deck — no matter how small — the ambiance seems less than calming. Plus, like, I’m not sure they’re really working together toward the same goal. I have a feeling Jen Atkin will be back in no time.

The group said this via a statement released by its spokesman, Eric Omare on Wednesday, April 27, 2016. It reads: We are of the view that the attacks are being carried out by terrorists who are disguising themselves as Fulani herdsmen. The traditional Fulani herdsmen have been grazing their cattle for decades in different parts of the country without such attacks until recently when the attacks became persistent with the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria. We also frown at the silence by the Federal Government. We are surprised that President Buhari has vowed to deal with suspected vandals of oil facilities in the Niger Delta region like Boko Haram but has remained mute in the midst of consistent massacre of Nigerians by Fulani terrorist. We believe that the attacks by the so called Fulani herdsmen are deliberate terrorist acts with religious agenda to wipe out some communities in the middle belt and southern part of the country. We, therefore, call on communitie...

Guardiola is on track to lead Bayern to a third consecutive Bundesliga title but his three-year spell there will ultimately be judged on whether he can win Europe's elite club competition with them After watching Pep Guardiola fail to inspire Bayern Munich to victory over Diego Simeone ’s Atletico Madrid in their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, Manchester City may wonder if they have hired the wrong man to lead them for the next three years. Saul Niguez's splendid individual goal gave Atletico a 1-0 first-leg win and leaves Guardiola's side needing a huge performance next week in Munich to prevent a third consecutive Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of a Spanish team. Guardiola is on track to lead Bayern to a third consecutive Bundesliga title but his three-year spell there will ultimately be judged on whether he can win Europe's elite club competition with them.

The goofy web series Shugs & Fats is a great many things: a fizzy buddy comedy; a proud platform for Muslim feminism; a glittery hijab fashion show; a Gotham Award winner; and a source of unexpected takes on pop culture touchstones like Girls , Game of Thrones , and 50 Shades of Grey . Given the scarcity of Desi and Muslim-American representation in the larger culture, Shugs & Fats ’s desire to be as many things as possible isn’t surprising — there are so many gaps that need filling. They don’t wear headscarves IRL, but writers and stars Nadia P. Manzoor and Radhika Vaz don them while playing their sheltered but curious alter egos in an effort to humanize hijabis, a vast group through whose perspective we rarely see the world. It’s precisely Shugs (Manzoor) and Fats’s (Vaz) outsiders’ point of view — combined with the improv performers’ relaxed, familiar chemistry — that gives the web series its freshness and distinct sense of authenticity. In its third season, which wrapped...

Today, Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz announced that his vice presidential running mate will be Carly Fiorina. What Ted Cruz would like for us, the media, to do here is pretend that it matters that he’s nominating Carly Fiorina for vice president, to speculate on how this might change the race, to write a bunch of stories about whether Fiorina can pull delegates from Cruz in California, whether this might animate apathetic voters depressed by Donald Trump, whether Fiorina’s business record and popularity with beltway insiders complements Cruz’s outsider credentials without compromising them, etc. He’s doing this to distract from the fact that Trump destroyed both him and Kasich in yesterday’s primaries and that Trump can sew up the nomination in a week in Indiana. The truth is that it doesn’t matter that Cruz announced that Carly Fiorina will be his VP. In fact, it matters so little that I’m not going to insult your intelligence or waste my time by pretending it does. Inste...

A  MILEY AND KANYE WERE IN DEADPOOL ... KINDA s you probably picked up from the movie, the titular anti-hero of Deadpool chose his moniker as a cheeky nod to the “dead pool” that’s a running bet at Sister Margaret’s Home for Wayward Girls. The bar, frequented by many a murderous mercenary, has its fair share of patrons who could easily croak at any time. And as you may recall, Deadpool’s BFF Weasel (T.J. Miller) had actually bet on Wade Wilson ( Ryan Reynolds ) to meet his fateful end next. But as seen in a new screenshot from the movie, the rest of the list is light on actual Deadpool characters, and instead includes a random assortment of real-life celebrities.

This Friday, the world’s side piece, Aubrey Drake Graham, will release his latest record, Views from the 6 . If we learned one thing from If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late ’s surprise arrival last year, it’s that The Boy likes to keep us guessing. And how much do we really know about Views ? There’s that cover. There are the songs we’ve heard so far — “Summer Sixteen,” which sounds like an outtake from his last album; “Pop Style”; and “One Dance” — none of which have any guarantee of featuring on the final tracklist. (Update: We have a tracklist! But we still don’t know much about who’s guesting on it or what it will sound like.)

Those features show that he’s been listening to everything from U.K. grime (Skepta) to West African pop (Nigerian rap phenom Wizkid) to Jamaican dancehall (Popcaan) — which makes sense, considering his well-...

North Korea fired what appeared to have been an intermediate range ballistic missile on Thursday but it crashed seconds after the test launch, South Korea's defense ministry said, the second such failure this month.

Here are a few albums that might have passed you by in the first four months of 2016, but that at least one of us loved too much to keep quiet about — from a chilled-out jazz trio to a boisterous ATL rap mixtape to an eerie French-language club night. Mikey Dollaz, Picture Me Rollin It took Mikey Dollaz a few years to find his niche in Chicago’s rap taxonomy. Since 2012, he’s rapped with hit-or-miss drill trio M.I.C., split a tape with local powerhouse Dreezy, flirted with R&B, and dabbled in the city’s high-energy bop sound — chasing trends as they emerged, never quite committing. But on February’s Picture Me Rollin , everything officially clicked. Maybe the mainstream’s waning interest in Chicago street rap has done Mikey a favor: With drill casting a much smaller shadow, he’s free to explore the intersection between steely street rap and weirdo club music. It’s not totally unprecedented — King Louie paved the way years ago with stuff like “Arrogant” and “Too Cool” — but I’m g...
