World’s Tallest Man and World’s Shortest Woman Meet in Egypt

Image
World’s Tallest Man and World’s Shortest Woman Meet in Egypt At a whopping 8 feet 3 inches, Sultan Kösen is considered the tallest man in the world. He met Jyoti Amge—the shortest woman in the world—on Friday at the Giza pyramids in Egypt. The Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board invited the record-breakers as part of an initiative to increase once-lively tourism in Egypt. Kösen is from Turkey, and Amge is from India,  ITV News  reported Monday. Neither Kösen nor Amge had visited Egypt before this event. Kösen, a 35-year-old man of Kurdish descent, is one of just 10 people throughout history reported to measure over 8 feet, the  Guinness World Records site  states. It has been more than a decade since another person has officially topped 8 feet. Amge, 24, stands at only 24.7 inches tall and is an actress in the hit TV show American Horror Story, Reuters reported. The two are expected to go to other well-known Egyptian sites d...

The Price Tag on Beyoncé's Grammys Jewelry

The Price Tag on Beyoncé's Grammys Jewelry  If you think for a second we weren't already mesmerized by Beyoncé's glamorous  Nicolas Jebran Grammys ensemble , you'd be mistaken. Accessorized with platform heels, Alain Mikli Le Matin shades, and a sculptural statement hat, she would've stolen the show sitting in the audience wearing just that. (Yes, even in a muted shade like black.) But then we found out some more details about Beyoncé's jewelry — her Lorraine Schwartz 100+ carat diamonds that were worth $6.8 million total. No. Big. Deal, right? Actually, it kind of is. Now all we want to do is zoom in on her platinum baubles, so join us, why don't you? Then, check out all the glowing  bags, shoes, and bling  at  the ceremony , and let us know if they're up to par with Queen Bey's trimmings.

Lady Gaga Stripped Down Into a Super-sheer Bodysuit

Lady Gaga Stripped Down Into a Super-sheer Bodysuit  Lady Gaga  was just one of the many stars who stunned at the  2018 Grammy Awards  on Sunday. The songstress  walked the red carpet  wearing a black dress with a dramatic skirt by Armani Privé. Her Gothic-inspired gown featured a sheer bodice with beaded embellishments and lace accents. It wasn't until she moved to the side that we realized her gown had a thigh-high slit, and the sheer bodice was actually a full bodysuit, which Gaga fully revealed once she was inside at the award ceremony, ditching her skirt entirely. Lady Gaga finished her look with platform boots, an intricate  corset-inspired braid , and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Keep reading to see her stunning style from every angle — and just how revealing it got as the evening progressed.

Rihanna Left Her Coat Unbuttoned So You Can Fully Take in Her Afterparty Look

Image
Rihanna Left Her Coat Unbuttoned So You Can Fully Take in Her Afterparty Look Between  Rihanna 's Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture trench coat and her  Adam Selman performance dress  at the  Grammy Awards , it was easy to lose track of all her outfit changes. That's probably why you (almost) missed her two-piece outfit as she sat in the audience to watch the show. The singer wore a gold metallic crop top, billowy pants, and Aquazzura heels. Rihanna's outfit seemed comfortable enough to party in, and that's exactly what she did as she headed to the afterparty in the same look. (She made sure to also accessorize with some Bulgari jewels, a Lalaounis necklace, and a clutch.) The star then covered up with yet another stunning coat and wore it unbuttoned to reveal her entire outfit. 

Beyoncé Debuted a Brand-New Glossier Product at the Grammys

Beyoncé Debuted a Brand-New Glossier Product at the Grammys Fresh off the heels of Solution, arguably  the biggest skincare launch of 2018  (so far), Glossier shows no signs of stopping. The brand just revealed that it will drop a new makeup product — and debuted it on Beyoncé, of all humans. In an Instagram post (above), Glossier announced that Bey repped the yet-to-be-revealed product somewhere in her Grammys beauty look. We know that Beyoncé's longtime makeup artist, Sir John, applied the brand's  Skin Tint  ($26),  Cloud Paint  ($18), and  Boy Brow  ($16) to her fabulous face. But there's no telling what the secret product might be. However, if you read the comments section, certain beauty enthusiasts think they know what it might be. A few are hoping for eye shadow, as Beyoncé rocked a devastatingly gorgeous shimmering pink smoky eye we may never recover from. Others assumed it might be mascara, because Bey's out-to-there lash...

The Grammys Afterparties Got Hot, Hot, Hot When the Models and Stars Stripped Down

Image
The Grammys Afterparties Got Hot, Hot, Hot When the Models and Stars Stripped Down The  Grammy Awards red carpet  was filled with voluminous gowns,  statement-making suits , and  plenty of jewels . The stars went all out, and we were not disappointed. Even the  performance outfits  left us totally floored. If you loved all of the looks as much as we did, prepare to be even more impressed (or rather, flustered) by these ultrasexy afterparty ensembles. They're edgy, revealing, and everything in between. See the stars who kept the celebrations going all night long including  power models like Iskra Lawrence . Clearly, the fun doesn't stop when the show ends.

Nigerian govt deports Cameroonian separatist leaders

Nigerian govt deports Cameroonian separatist leaders The Nigerian government on Friday deported 12 Cameroonian separatist leaders who were arrested earlier this month, their lawyer said Monday. Julius Ayuk Tabe and 11 others were arrested at Nera Hotels Abuja on January 6 and were detained at the Defence Intelligence Agency, said Femi Falana who has been providing legal support for them. The detainees were largely held incommunicado, which included denial of access to their lawyers, doctors and family members. However, the deputy representative of the office of United Nations Commissioner for Refugees to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Brigitte Mukanga-Eno, was allowed to visit them in detention last week, Mr. Falana said. The treatment prompted the lawyer to file a fundamental rights suit to enforce the rights of their clients. The Buhari administration was criticised for arresting the leaders in a defiant departure from Nigeria’s longstanding policy of being sympathetic towards freed...
