Eleven passengers aboard a matatu perished moments after they ushered in the New Year after the vehicle collided with a bus at Salgaa on the Nakuru-Eldoret highway.
According to police, the 14-seater matatu headed to Nakuru from Eldoret was trying to overtake a trailer before it lost control and collided head on with a bus from the opposite direction.

“Ten passengers died on the spot while another on his way to the hospital. In the trailer, no one was injured,” said Rongai police boss Joseph Mwamburi.

Mr Mwamburi confirmed that the 1am accident claimed all occupants in the matatu.

In the Kitale bound bus, only the driver and a female passenger suffered slight injuries. 

“I was driving from Nairobi to Kitale and my passengers were happy with my speed but as the speeding matatu was trying to overtake a trailer we collided head-on,” said Khaemba Kwambi, the bus driver.

Traffic police had a hectic time directing vehicles and locals.

Mr Mwamburi cautioned motorists against spending.
"If he was on a manageable speed, he could have controlled the vehicle and overtake when the road was clear.”

The accident happened in the wake of the new rules that the Traffic Department has attributed to the few cases of accidents during the festive season.

Brandy Shows Off Her Engagement Ring, Celebrates In Hawaii

Our favorite fabulous diva, Brandy Norwood werked the red carpet at the “VH1 Divas” 2012.

Although we have yet to receive any press releases or even a confirmation tweet from Brandy that she is indeed engaged (we tweeted, no response), the rock she sports is pretty good proof for our assumptions. All the media outlets have reported the news and well… perhaps Brandy is just too busy having the best holiday ever celebrating in Hawaii.

MUST READ: He Put A Ring On It: Brandy Engaged To Music Exec Ryan Press

The future Mrs. Ryan Press is busy updating her Instagram account with gorgeous photos of her and her boo as they vacation it up on the island. Just when we thought Brandy was being uber hush-hush, she gave us a cute couple pic where she conveniently holds her hair displaying what we believe to be a stunning rock.

We can only imagine this glamorous wedding. I wonder what designer dress she will rock?

Solange Knowles: “When A Woman Stands Up For Herself, Suddenly She Has An Attitude Problem”

A couple of years ago, pre-big chop, Solange Knowles sat down for an interview with Fox News…I know what you’re thinking, it’s Fox News, who cares? But hear me out. Before the segment, Solange’s rep sternly requested that the interviewer not ask the fashionista about her big sister or brother-in-law’s establishment. Of course, Fox referenced the incident before throwing to Solange, who was off-set. Solange, who is usually very mild-tempered, replied: “I have to say that was not a very professional introduction before, please don’t tie me into family and my brother-in-laws establishment.” Well! She does have a back-bone. While women everywhere rejoiced, the media had something negative to say about her response. During a recent dialogue with Glamour Women Of The Year Awards last night, Solange spoke on the incident saying: “If I was a male rapper responding in that way, it would have been no big deal,” “But when a black woman stands up for herself suddenly she has an attitude problem,” reports Necole Bitchie.

Solange, we couldn’t agree more!

As a woman, more importantly–a black women–I must always be mindful of my attitude, whether I have one or not. It seems as though even a stoic expression on a black and or feminine face can illicit a startling response. The stereotype that all black women are sassy and that all women should be happy, behave like ladies and not let a frown line wrinkle their pretty palate, plagues the female race. Sometimes I don’t feel like smiling. Sometimes, I just want to retreat to the walls of my own mind without being told to show teeth and for the sake of this article, sometimes you have to stick up for yourself despite how it will make others feel!

Kudos Solange!

The Hottest Pictures Of Cheerleaders Across All Sports

I am not going to lie about this:

Cheerleaders might be some of the best features that sports have. There is nothing wrong with adding beautiful women to sports. It is like the cherry on top of an amazing ice cream sundae.

Since I like all of you so much, I decided to give you 101 pictures of cheerleaders from all sorts of sports. I will get this out there right now, I may have duplicates of cheerleaders and a lot of these pictures do not have names. Sorry, but that's an issue for the photo company. If you do know the names, let me know and I can add them in for all of you. I tried to make up for it by adding pictures that include more than one cheerleader. Consider it a gift from me to you.

Anyways, that should take care of all the weird stuff that you might see about this. Can't have you all distracted before you start looking through this grouping of photos. That just would not be fair to anyone involved. Your full attention should be focused on the beautiful women that you are about to see. The cheerleaders come from football and basketball. They are mainly professional but you will find some college cheerleaders as well. Have to take a look at some future prospects.

I think I have talked enough and you should all start looking through these photos. Seriously. I put a lot of time into this so you should all enjoy. Then again, a lot of you will probably disagree. Either way, let us know in the comment section of this 

post.
