'There were big fights at the tablets and the phones. It was horrific. It was like a pack of savages looking for a bargain.
'I was ashamed to be English to be honest. People had more than one item. They had two or three TVs or tablets in their trollies.
'I saw one person take a phone out of somebody else's basket. There was lots of screaming and shouting. I'm surprised there weren't people on the floor. I found it disgusting. It was horrific.'

Barren: Shelves once full of televisions and DVD players laid empty this morning

Festive: Until recently, Black Friday was an American tradition. However numerous British stores have this year slashed their prices to encourage Christmas spending

HUSBAND DEMANDING $10,000,000 PLUS $875K ENGAGEMENT RING TO END 4YEAR MARRIAGE....

Khloe Kardashian's estranged husband Lamar Odom 'demanding $10m and return of engagement ring to end marriage... and keep sex tape private'

Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian's absent husband Lamar Odom is demanding a multimillion dollar settlement to end their four year marriage, it has been claimed.
Odom, 34, is asking for $10million and even demanding the return of her $875,000 engagement ring in exchange for ending his whirlwind romance to the reality star.
The bombshell conditions revealed in the National Enquirer also include keeping his silence about the alleged existence of a sex tape.

Lamar's demands come after mother Kris Jenner and Khloe met with lawyers to discuss a divorce deal, and he responded with a few conditions of his own.

Demands: Lamar Odom has reportedly asked for $10million dollars to end his marriage to Khloe Kardashian and keep his silence about a 'sex tape' and the family's secrets.

 

The basketball player, who has been battling a serious drug addiction, allegedly wants the money in exchange for keeping quiet about the inner secrets of the Kardashians.
A source told The Enquirer: 'Kris and Khloe are very worried about Lamar... He knows all about their extreme surgery procedures - when, how often and how much - and the pressure put on the younger girls to follow suit.'
The source also claims Odom, who was seen heading for training at his alma mater in Rhode Island on Tuesday, could tarnish Khloe’s career by exposing a sex tape the couple made.
'Lamar is also prepared to destroy Khloe’s reputation by discussing their sex tape, and how she targeted him and tore his family apart,' the source told the magazine.
'Kris is insisting on a confidentiality agreement to ensure Lamar can never discuss his life with the Kardashians either in print or verbally.' The source added Lamar would not sign anything until the money was paid.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN IS O.J SIMPSON'S DAUGHTER?

Khloe Kardashian Could Be O.J. Simpson's Daughter, Claims His Manager

 

Claims: Two of Robert Kardashian's ex-wives have come forward claiming the lawyer told them Khloe Kardashian, left, was not his real daughter, like older sisters Kim and Kourtney

The old rumor that O.J. Simpson is Khloe Kardashian's biological father has reared its ugly head again, as the former professional football player's manager, Norman Pardo, has come forward, effectively telling In Touch, it's possible.

"It’s all going to come out sooner or later. Khloé could be O.J.’s kid," Pardo told the magazine, though it should be noted he said could be -- not is -- his daughter. Pardo says that whenever he brings up the subject to Simpson, who is currently serving a 9- to 33-year sentence in a Nevada prison for kidnapping and armed robbery, he just giggles.
Simpson, who famously was acquitted of the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, has never denied the rumor that he and Kris Jenner had an affair, wherein she became pregnant with Khloe. Before the 1994 murders, Jenner and Robert Kardashian were very close with Simpson and his wife, whom Jenner said she considered one of her best friends.
“They all took their vacations together. There was a lot of partying going on back then,” Pardo explained to In Touch. “Kris cheated on Robert -- she was known for having a good time.”
While Jenner has been forthcoming about her indiscretions while she was married to Robert Kardashian, she called reports about the question of Khloe's paternity "blatant lies."
When asked for comment on Pardo's comments, reps for the Kardashian-Jenner family brushed off In Touch's latest report, telling The Huffington Post, it's "not true" and called the rumor "old news."

Lil Kim makes a comeback @ London O2 by exposing Camel toe

Lil' Kim makes a BIG fashion faux pas as the performs comeback gig in London

She may be approaching 40, but American rapper Lil' Kim clearly has no signs of dressing - or acting - her age.
The 39-year old was making what amounted to a comeback at London's The O2 on Friday as she prepares to release a new mixtape entitled Hardcore 2K13, next week.
Given that it's her first fresh material in eight-years, she clearly wanted to get people talking about it.

Lost for words: the singer sported an outfit that left many onlookers bemused

And, given her choice of outfit, that's exactly what she did.
The Brooklyn-born star - whose real name is Kimberley Denise Jones - sported a bizarre ensemble which looked far more Halloween than comeback queen as she took to the stage with her band and backing dancers.

Confident: The star, who is about to turn 40, has no fear about showing her body on stage 

Classy: The singer looked anything but refined as she exposed some serious camel toe on stage

The top piece seemed to be a belted bodice with a visible bra top, complete with tied cuffs and a huge trail.
She teamed this with huge, over-sized, red knickers which looked mightily uncomfortable for any woman to wear - not least because it revealed some unflattering, and seemingly painful, camel toe.
She capped the look with thigh-high boots and several pieces of 'bling' jewelery, plus Geisha-like make-up on her face.
Interestingly, the performance seemed to divide fans and critics alike - with some praising the star and others questioning her choice of style.

Kinky boots: In addition to her interesting belted bodice, the singer also wore thigh-high leather boots

Giving Miley Cyrus a run for her money: Lil' Kim seems to enjoy plenty of 'twerking' while on stage 

regardless, the rapper was clearly excited about her return to releasing music.
The feisty rapper’s new mixtape will see her revisit her nineties roots by reviving the old cover art for 1995 debut album Hard Core.

That album went double platinum following its debut at number eleven on the US Billboard 200 – the highest entry for a female rap album at the time – after selling more than 78,000 copies in its first week of release. 

Significantly for Kim she climbed to number one on the Rap Chart with three tracks from the long player - No Time, Not Tonight (Ladies Night remix) and Crush on You.
She also climbed to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 with Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya collaboration Lady Marmalade in 2001 – a feat that is yet to be equaled by another female rapper. 

Don't look down: American star Lil' Kim shares way too much with her audience

The star has previously been critical of the changes to rap in the years following the release of last album The Naked Truth in 1995, but she recently admitted during an interview with the Guardian that she can still identify with some of the current crop. 
She said: ‘I love Rihanna because I see a lot of Rihanna in me and a lot of me in Rihanna. Miley (Cyrus) and I have clicked.
‘She told me that the two artists she’s ever wanted to collaborate with are me and Dolly Parton.’

Chris Brown got confined for 90 days ... Says Marijuana can cure his anger management issues.

One day after a judge ordered him to submit to drug testing, Chris Brown says he should be allowed to take medical marijuana for his anger issues because its legal in California.

A source told Radaronline.com that the 24-year-old doesn't want to continue using anti-depressant drugs that were prescribed to him.

'They make Chris feel very numb and he felt that everything around him was fuzzy,' the insider revealed.

Medicinal use: Singer Chris Brown, seen here arriving at a Los Angeles court for a probation review hearing on Wednesday, says he should be able to use medical marijuana to help him with his anger

The source also said that the anti-depressants made Chris feel dull and thirsty all the time and that he has been using medical marijuana for several years until the judge ordered him to stop.

'It was just another instance in which Chris felt he was being treated differently because of his celebrity status,' the source said.

On Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin ordered Chris to serve three months in a residential treatment facility and to submit to drug testing. 

Prescribed meds: The 24-year-old said the anti-depressants he is taking make him feel dull and thirsty

The judge also ordered the R&B singer to perform at least 24 hours of community labor per week.

'Add that on top of the fact the judge ruled that he had to do all of his community service all over again because of questions regarding the work he had done in Virginia and Chris feels like he just can’t catch a break,' the source said.

He remains on probation for his 2009 attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna.

The right path: Sources told Radaronline that Chris believes medical marijuana will help him put his life back on the right track

The singer is 'really trying to move forward from the incident with Rihanna, but feels it’s just going to haunt him for the rest of his life. He believes if he was allowed to take the marijuana things would dramatically improve in his life, immediately. Chris isn’t the monster everyone thinks he is,' the insider added.

Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, says the terms were recommended by probation officers, and the singer agreed to abide by them.

Chris may still face a probation violation due to his arrest last month on a misdemeanor assault charge in Washington, D.C., but Brandlin and a prosecutor want more details.

Back to rehab: A judge ordered Chris on Wednesday to serve three months in a residential treatment facility and submit to drug testing

TMZ have revealed that Chris was kicked out of his rehab program earlier this month after he through a rock at his mother's car window.

The site reports that his mother showed up to a 'family session' and was urging Chris to stay for extended treatment.

Chris is said to have 'violently disagreed with her' and shattered her car window with a rock. 

Community service: The judge also ordered the R&B singer to perform at least 24 hours of community labor per week

TMZ also reported that as a result of the judge wanting a report on the incident in Washington, Chris could still face time behind bars.

Wednesday's hearing was the first time Brown had been in court since he was arrested last month in Washington, D.C. 

Brown is due back in court Dec. 16 for another hearing.

Mike Tyson 'returns Evander Holyfield's ear'

Mike Tyson 'returns Evander Holyfield's ear' 16 years after infamous bite fight in Foot Locker commercial

It is considered one of the most famous sports scandals of all time, but is seems Mike Tyson has finally made full amends with Evander Holyfield – at least on screen.
The imaginary scenario is played out in a Footlocker commercial which sees Mike hand back Holyfield’s missing piece, explaining he ‘kept that in formaldehyde’.
Mike Tyson was disqualified after the 1997 incident when he bit off the top of his opponent’s ear during their heavyweight boxing champion fight.

Making amends: The Footlocker commercial sees Mike Tyson return Evander Holyfield's ear with a remorseful look on his face

The commercial sees basketball player Kyrie Irving imagining that ‘all is right with the world’, going into a daydream featuring the legendary boxers.
The dream shows Mike Tyson turning up at Evander Holyfield’s door, presenting him with a small box.
‘I’m sorry, Evander,’ Tyson says. ‘It’s your ear.
‘I kept that in formaldehyde.’

Keepsake: Mike Tyson apologies and explains that he has kept Evander Holyfield's ear in formaldehyde all these years

Back where it belongs: Evander reaches out to take the 'ear' which has been missing since the 1997 match

Since reuniting on the Oprah Winfrey show in 2009, 12 years after the ear-biting fight, the pair have rekindled their 90s friendship.
Last year they famously exchanged quips about the incident on Twitter as Holyfield began promoting his Real Deal BBQ Sauce.
Holyfield posted: ‘My realdealbbqsauce.com will make you take a bite out of someone's ear! Ask Mike Tyson – Luv ya bro!’

Reunited: Evander seems moved by Mike's gesture

Friends again: The former foes embrace, putting all their differences behind them at last

In support of his buddy, Tyson responded: Holyfield's ear would've been much better with his new BBQ sauce.’
When the two heavyweights met earlier this year at a promotional event for Holyfield’s barbeque sauce Tyson said‘I just wanted to see Evander, man. I love Evander. I'm forever linked with him for the rest of my life.’
The Footlocker commercial also features staff and travellers in an airport cheering as Dennis Rodman books a one-way ticket to North Korea.
