     According to the magazine '' All good reunions should involve an abundance of laughter and tears, and there were certainly both recently when EW reunited the cast of the 1997 blockbuster   My Best Friend’s Wedding   in Los Angeles. Star Julia Roberts, 51, and her titular BFF Dermot Mulroney, 55 (close pals in real life), arrived together and immediately wanted to get down to business. “Let’s go see Cameron,” Roberts exclaimed excitedly while dragging Mulroney by the arm. Then came the laughter. Roberts and Cameron Diaz, 46, have, arguably, two of the best laughs in Hollywood, and their joy echoed throughout the photo studio. It only got more giggly when costar Rupert Everett, 59 — who played George, Roberts’ character’s gay wingman — arrived. The group’s buzzy, infectious energy is part of what has cemented  Wedding ’s status as a  rom-com classic . “People come up to me and just say, “My Best Friend’s Wedding!” and I’m like, “Aww,” says Diaz. “It’s just this joyous

6 SUSPECTED CULTIST WERE SHOT DEAD IN AWKA AMIKWO LATE WEDNESDAY.{PHOTOS}.

     According to Ken Chukwudi,who shared this two photos yesterday with the caption '' Their was another round of suspected cult killings in Awka yesterday, as about six (6) people were said to have bee n killed in total at the Amikwo part of the inner city, mostly inhabited by locals and tenants. Around 9:00pm yesterday, most shops around the Amaenyi precinct of the city were closed, as what looked like rapid gunshots were heard, as street became instantly empty of people except for few. Awka and some part of Anambra state have become death ground for young youths, due to perceived cult war amongst the different cult groups, which the young seem to take pleasure in joining and swearing allegiance to and a permanent perceived mis-understanding existing among them. The Commissioner of Police, Garba Umar posting and replacement by another, seem to give the void for the resurgence of cult war amongst the young''.One more photo below.

CARDI B COVERS HARPER'S BAZAAR MAGAZINE MARCH 2019 ISSUE.{PHOTOS}.

     According to the magazine'' When Cardi B visits her favorite nail salon in the Bronx, she enters through a raggedy hallway covered with a rug emblazoned with the image of a $100 bill. The salon, which overlooks a bustling avenue of pizza shops, sports-gear superstores, and boutiques with weaves in 70 colors, is a temple to money, excess, and sexiness, symbolized in the application of nails that look like diamond-encrusted Buck knives. Portraits of two icons of pulchritude hang on the walls—namely, Marilyn Monroe and the very 2019 version of Marilyn: Cardi. With a posse that includes her dad, her half-sister, her half-brother, and two Drogosize bodyguards whose names I don’t catch but imagine to be Bulwark and Spear, Cardi, 26, heads toward a private side room. She surrenders her hands and feet to Jenny Bui, her sharp-tongued nail tech of more than half a decade, even back when she didn’t have the money to move out of this borough.
