Usually, the ex-wife or ex-girlfriend comes along on the family trips with the ex-husband and his new wife or his new girlfriend, such as in the case of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, and Will’s ex.But in P. Diddy’s case, the reverse is true. The rap mogul is on the trip with only his children and his former girlfriend. Meanwhile, present girlfriend Cassie is nowhere in sight.What are the issues?

BEYOND DETOX - BENEFITS OF SAUNA - BY DR LUPS

No vex but sometimes i will put a picture of my sister  as my DP in my whatsapp and people will ask me what does your sister use for her skin....i did not have an answer and one day i ask her and she told me she spend most of her time at the sauna after workout and this is what she told me that there is a valid reason why human beings have used sweat baths for hygienic and health purposes since the Stone Age. It's because sweating has proven its effectiveness in flushing out toxins and disease and maintaining optimal physical as well as mental health. skin is the largest organ in the body and through the pores it plays a major role in the detoxifying process alongside the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and the lymphatic and immune systems. skin produces cool sweat to regulate the body's elevated temperature. It also has the ability to transform toxins from lipid-soluble or oil-based, into -easier to eliminate- water-soluble forms. Sweat carries toxins out of the body and flushes them through the pores. Sweating is the body's safe and natural way to heal. Scientists and doctors are finally acknowledging what our ancestors instinctively knew, that regular sweating restores good health through the elimination of toxins.Therefore don't take the sauna for a mere luxury if you aim to achieve and maintain good health. It is a necessity, and a very reliable way to help your body stay healthy by eliminating toxin surcharge....See more pictures of dr.Lups after the cut

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY Z AKA HOV AKA SEAN CARTER AKA BABA BLUE IVY

It was 1998, when a 28-year-old Jay Z spit that lyric on “Money, Cash, Hoes,” a standout single off of his best-selling album Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life. At that point in his life, Hov retired as a Brooklyn drug dealer and graduated to a label owner and multiplatinum rap star. Jay was right, he had led a life that he could have easily woven into a best-seller; but looking back at it now, on his 45th birthday, it is clear that we were only a few chapters into Hov’s life story...And again Happy Birthday Hov...

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN BREAKING THE INTERNET WHILE PREGNANT - CUTE

Just when you thought you’d seen all sides of every Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian follows up sister Kim’s attempt to break the internet with a nude photo shoot conducted while nine months pregnant with her third child. Kourtney’s no stranger to exposing viewers to the wonders of childbirth, of course; who can forget, for better or worse, the memorable scene of Keeping Up With the Kardashians showing her reaching down to pull out her second child? The shoot, done in collaboration with Brian Bowen Smith, only reinforces the oldest sister’s role as the pacifying, nurturing one, though, especially since she says her decision to publicly de-robe was contingent on the fact that she’s pregnant. ”It’s such an amazing feeling…this is what my body was meant to do.”

ANGELINA JOLIE'S CAR CRASHES AFTER MOVIE SCREENING

Angelina Jolie got into a car crash after she left the Sunday evening Los Angeles screening of her new film, “Unbroken,” Jolie was riding in a black SUV when the car slid on a wet road, causing two of the tires to pop. The car slammed into the curb at a significant speed. Angelina must have wondered if they hit another car. It was pretty bad -- the tire exploded, and it's amazing nothing worse happened to the car. I wouldn't be surprised if she has whiplash."Jolie was later picked up by another driver.
“Unbroken” has been referred to as a “surefire best picture nominee” by Variety, and it’s been called an Oscar-contender by several other publications.

GOP AIDE ELIZABETH LAUTEN WHO CRITICIZE OBAMA'S DAYGHTERS RESIGNS

The Republican congressional aide who wrote a widely-disseminated Facebook post criticizing President Barack Obama's daughters says that she is resigning today.

Elizabeth Lauten, the communications director for Tennessee Rep. Steven Fincher, told NBC News by phone Monday that her resignation is already "in the works."

In a post that went viral over the weekend, Lauten wrote that Sasha and Malia Obama should have shown "a little class" during the annual Thanksgiving ceremony to pardon two turkeys at the White House.

"Rise to the occasion," she wrote. "Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar."

Lauten later deleted that post and penned an apology on Facebook, writing that she now sees "more clearly just how hurtful my words were."

UK & INTERNATIONAL DONORS SUSPEND TANZANIA AID AFTER CORRUPTION CLAIMS

International donors have suspended nearly $500m (£311m) in budget support to anzania in response to claims that senior government officials siphoned off funds from the country’s central bank under the guise of energy contracts.
The chair of Tanzania’s public accounts committee, Zitto Kabwe, said several high-ranking officials colluded with corrupt businessmen to transfer $122m from a holding account in the central bank to private accounts overseas.
A group of 12 funders, including the UK’s Department for International Development (DfID), have given Tanzania $69m for general budget support so far this year and the group has committed to contributing $559m towards the current budget.
The donors announced, however, that they would suspend further general budget support payments until more information about the scandal has been released, freezing $490m in financing.
“Disbursements have not been made because we are waiting for the controller auditor general report and the government action following that,” said Sinikka Antila, Finland’s ambassador to Tanzania and chair of the donors’ general budget support committee.
“If in the report there is misappropriation or some wrongdoing, then we want to see prudent action by the government.”
Two businessmen have been accused by Kabwe of selling mispriced electricity to the government of Tanzania over the past two decades. Kabwe’s committee is investigating the scandal.
Tanzania has struggled to generate electricity and its economy has been plagued by power shortages. Lawmakers and donors bemoan the effect of corruption on the country’s development.
“We have been having huge problems with electricity in Tanzania for the last 20 years,” said Kabwe, who is a member of parliament for Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo, Tanzania’s main opposition party. “There is no story of power in Tanzania, of the energy sector in Tanzania, without corruption.”
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have long been involved in infrastructure projects in the country, with the World Bank overseeing more than $230m of financing to the country. But their willingness to work with government officials has meant that they are “becoming allies of the corrupt regime”, Kabwe said.
