 Nigerians to benefit as US resumes visa processing for foreign doctors Nigerian doctors are set to benefit from a policy reversal by the United States (US), which allows physicians to resume visa applications and processing. Earlier this year, the US imposed a blanket visa ban on multiple countries, including Nigeria, citing national security concerns. The policy affected foreign doctors, including many Nigerians, who formed a significant number as the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) withheld visa renewals. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), 25.6 percent of active physicians are international medical graduates. A 2024 global health workforce database showed Nigerians as the sixth largest group of foreign doctors in the US on the J-1 visa. H-1B visa holders were not added to the list. In a walk back last week, the USCIS updated its website, without a formal announcement, to indicate that physicians are no longer subject to the processi...

Nick Cannon allows his 15-year-old son to date but teen daughter is banned: 'I'm going to jail' Nick Cannon recently admitted he treats his teenage twins differently when it comes to dating. On the TMZ Podcast, the entertainer said he has allowed and even encouraged his 15‑year‑old son, Moroccan, to start dating.  However, when asked about his daughter Monroe, Cannon was firm that she does not get the same freedom, openly acknowledging the double standard in his parenting. Explaining his reasoning, Cannon said he feels a stronger need to protect his daughter from potential dangers in the dating world.  He noted that while his son’s experiences may involve different challenges, he worries about scenarios such as domestic violence when it comes to Monroe.  Cannon even joked that if anyone ever harmed his daughter, he would end up in jail because of how fiercely protective he is. Despite his reservations, Cannon said he is preparing Monroe for independence, especially as she...

 Meghan Markle's dad leaves nurse lover at airport as he returns to US for treatment on amputated leg Thomas Markle, the estranged father of the Duchess of Sussex, has returned to the United States after living in the Philippines, where he relocated to escape the ongoing drama surrounding his rift with Meghan and Harry.  The 81‑year‑old nearly died last year after a blood clot led to the amputation of his left leg below the knee.  He praised the Filipino doctors and nurses for saving his life and revealed he now hopes to be fitted with a modern prosthetic limb while being closer to family. During his time in Cebu, Markle found companionship with nurse Rio Canedo, who supported him through rehabilitation and helped him regain strength.  The pair shared an emotional farewell at the airport, promising to stay in touch, with Markle hopeful she will visit him in the U.S. soon.  He credited Canedo with inspiring him to lose weight and motivating him to walk again, not...

 Jim Acosta demands CNN fire Scott Jennings after on-air confrontation with panelist Former CNN journalist Jim Acosta has called for the dismissal of his former colleague Scott Jennings after Jennings engaged in a heated, profanity-laced exchange on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip.  The confrontation occurred during a debate with MeidasTouch influencer Adam Mockler over U.S. involvement in the Iran War.  Jennings lashed out at Mockler, telling him he had “the attention span of a gnat” and later snapping, “Get your f---ing hand out of my face,” as tensions escalated. Mockler later posted about the incident on X, accusing Jennings of throwing personal jabs and folding under pressure when challenged.  Acosta, who worked alongside Jennings at CNN for eight years before leaving in 2025, condemned the behavior on his own podcast, calling it “appalling” and insisting it was a “fireable offense.”  He praised anchor Abby Phillip for de-escalating the situation but argued...

 Hilary Duff says she's 'very grateful' not to have any 'battle wounds' from growing up in the spotlight Hilary Duff, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with her breakout role on Lizzie McGuire, recently reflected on her career and childhood during the Time100 Summit.  Now 38, she admitted that watching documentaries like Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV and Framing Britney Spears has been emotional, as they highlight the darker realities faced by young stars of her era.  While acknowledging the challenges others endured, Duff expressed gratitude that her own path spared her from lasting trauma. Looking back, Duff noted that she has worked as an adult since the age of nine, which meant missing out on typical childhood experiences while gaining unique opportunities.  She described herself as a “scrubby kid from Texas” who sometimes marvels at how far she has come.  Though she attributes part of her success to luck, she emphasized that it never diminishes t...

Zoe Kravitz turns heads with bold engagement ring at pre-Met dinner The spotlight arrived early in New York as top celebrities stepped out for Anna Wintour’s private dinner ahead of the Met Gala. Zoe Kravitz caught attention the moment she arrived, her hand subtly drawing focus to a striking engagement ring reportedly from Harry Styles.  Her outfit leaned into soft contrasts, a mint textured sweater layered over a floral dress, finished with a suede clutch and clear heels. Not far behind, Nicole Kidman kept things sleek in an all-black look, understated but sharp. As one of the event’s co-chairs, her presence carried quiet authority. Across the carpet, Serena Williams brought drama in a shimmering red gown with a daring slit, while Venus Williams followed with her own take, stepping out in a detailed black and red dress, accompanied by Andrea Preti in a tailored suit. Sabrina Carpenter delivered a softer edge, choosing a silk black dress with lace detailing, while Donatella Versace...
