Harrison Barnes set to move a step forward in his career.

Harrison Barnes #40 of the Golden State warriors has decided to leave the Warriors for the Dallas Mavericks. I think Dallas would be good for him though (maybe)😉, but if it isn't he sure won't hesitate to leave.
He thanked his teammates, fans and also the coaching staff of the warriors yesterday in a post on Twitter and Instagram.
See photo below:

I very much loved him on the Warriors Team, but since he's leaving all I've to do is wish him the very best in his career. We hope to see you again.

Fans react to Freeze's photo in celebration of Fathers day.

When Freeze shared a photo of his dark skinned father in celebration of Father's Day, his fans began to drag him on Social Media, asking him if he had bleached his skin or was probably adopted. In a bid to clear up the confusion, Freeze shared a photo of his mum, who is Romanian and wrote,
"Response I got from my Father's Day post was overwhelming and absolutely hilarious. Some said because my dad is really dark and I am fair I must have been adopted, others claimed I was bleaching while some even went ahead to advice my dad to do a DNA test to make sure I was really his son.


Ok guys, just incase speculation were to evolve into fact, let me set the record straight! I was not adopted o! Neither am I bleaching! Here is a pic of my mum and she is white as in oyinbo pepe all the way from a small Eastern European country called Romania. I am from Transylvania, the birth place of the famous 'Dracula', who by the was was a distant relative. Anyway, here is a little family history. My dad was an academic genius who saw himself through school jumping from one scholarship to the other. He went to secondary school in Tema, Ghana and came back to Nigeria in the early 70s. According to the legend, a friend informed him that the Hungarian embassy was giving scholarships to gifted students. My dad told me that he was so broke, he had to walk all the way to the embassy and upon getting there he discovered that the last form was picked up a few minutes before he got to the embassy. My poor dad was devastated and downcast. One of the guards at the embassy now asked him to check the Romanian embassy. My dad went there, got the form, passed the exam in flying colors and got a scholarship to study Medicine in Romania. He met my mum who by 22, had already completed her masters. Fast forward to 2016, my dad runs a private practice in Ibadan while my mum is a deputy vice chancellor in a private university. I hope I answered all your questions.... Lol"

British Singer, Ed Sheeran sued for $20million for allegedly copying song ''Photograph''

British singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran has been sued for $20m by Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard, and their publishing company HaloSongs for allegedly copying their 2009 song "Amazing to form his song "Photograph".

According to Harrington and Leonardo, their single was sung by Matt Cardle, the winner of the 2010 season of The X Factor and in exclusive court documents obtained by E! News, claim that;

"the song's similarities reach the very essence of the work, the similarities go beyond substantial, which is itself sufficient to establish copyright infringement, and are in fact striking."

Busch, lawyers to Harrington and Leonardo told NBC News, "My clients are professional songwriters. Their work is their life and I am honored that they have trued me with this very important case. We set out the facts in the lawsuit in great detail."

The plaintiffs have estimated that the defendants (including Sheeran) have profited over $20 million, and they are seeking statutory damages as well as either a running royalty or an injunction.

The boy slowly turning into stone: Meet 11-year-old with tragic skin condition that makes him a statue

Ramesh Darji can't walk and can't talk. His skin got replaced by thick scales 15 days after his birth due to a skin condition- Ichthyosis, which causes thick scales to grow on body, slowly turning him into a statue.

Ramesh's scaly appearance scares other children, meaning he has no friends and he can barely talk, only letting his parents know when he is hungry or needs the bathroom. His 36 year old dad, Nanda told MailOnline: ‘His skin started peeling off 15 days after he was born and then new skin began to grow very thick.

'It hardened and turned black, we had no idea what to do about it. No one helped us.'

In fact, doctors in Baglung, the remote Nepalese region where the family live, seemed bemused by what they told them was a 'fungal infection' and said they couldn't help.

All the while, Ramesh was getting worse.

‘By this fifth birthday he began to say his body was in pain and he couldn’t walk,' said Nanda. 'He’s never really been able to explain anything to us either.

'He is only able to inform us when he’s hungry or wants to use the toilet. He used to sit and cry but we didn’t know what was hurting him or how to help him.

‘Any young child would see him and run away crying. It was hard for him and us to watch.’

‘We took him to a few doctors in our district but we were told that treatment was costly and only available in private hospitals.
'We did not have enough money and had no choice than to keep Ramesh home and do our best.’

But then help came from an unexpected source - British singer Joss Stone.

Ramesh's luck changed when a video of him struggling was shared on social media - and it was spotted by Nepalese singer Sanjay Shrestha, who happened to be helping Stone organise a concert.

‘I got an email from Joss’ team saying they wanted to perform here and said they wanted to support a local charity.

'In the meantime, I saw a video on social media about this poor boy so I sent them the link and she immediately decided to help him.’

Nanda said: ‘We’ve never known how to help him.

'His mother spends the entire day with him, which makes it difficult for her to focus on our other kids.

'She cannot work either and she used to cry alone feeling bad for him.’

Ramesh is now receiving treatment at the Kathmandu Medical College.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard split after one year of marriage

52 year old actor Johnny Depp and actress Amber Heard, 30, are getting divorced after just 15 months of marriage. According to TMZ reports, Amber Heard filed divorce papers on Monday citing irreconcilable differences. The actress filed for  divorce 2 days after Depp's mum, Betty Sue died on Saturday.
Johnny who is worth $400 million and owns a private island in The Bahamas is said to not have signed a pre-nup with Heard. Hence she's entitled to half of what he owns. The couple got married on the beach of the Mortdecai star’s private island Little Hall’s Pond Cay in the Bahamas in February last year with only 24 guests in attendance.

Amber is reported to be seeking spousal support following the end of marriage.

Johnny Depp was with his former partner Vanessa Paradis for 14 years and had 2 children together, daughter Lily Rose and son John 'Jack' Depp, but they never got married. He left her after 14 years and married Amber Heard last year.
