Joan Rivers is out of intensive care

Joan Rivers has been moved out of intensive care.

The 81-year-old comedienne, who was placed in a medically-induced coma after she went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during minor throat surgery last Thursday, has been transferred to a private room at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, but is still on life support.

The Fashion Police host's daughter, Melissa Rivers, updated fans on her condition on Wednesday, saying: "My mother has been moved out of intensive care and into a private room where she is being kept comfortable. Thank you for your continued support."

Sources previously insisted Joan is "on the road to recovery," despite rumours Melissa is in "denial" about the severity of the situation.

An insider said: "It's a slow process, but she's on the road to recovery. She's getting better. Don't believe all this ridiculous speculation.

"All these reports about doomsday are not true."

Production on two Fashion Police episodes has been halted following Joan's health scare.

A spokesperson for E! recently said: "We will not be producing a Fashion Police this week or next as we await Joan and Melissa's return in front and behind the camera. E! will be airing two E! From Fashion Week specials that will deliver the latest news and information from the highly-anticipated event."

During the interview Paul revealed that before the money and fame, he used to be an electrician! He said,
I used to fix fans, boilers and electrical things, but there was no AC that time so I can’t fix that on.
Peter also revealed that he sold mangoes before music,
Paul was an electrician, me I would climb the tree in our school to steal the mangoes and sell. I also used to gamble and the biggest gamble I took was saying we should move to Lagos
Remember when P-Square almost broke up a few months back? Speaking on that incident the brothers said it was just a regular misunderstanding between siblings. They went on to reassure their fans that everything is all good between them now and there would be no P-Square break up.
They also touched on married life, with Paul admitting married life has made him much more responsible but not as free to as he was when single, he said
I can’t take a picture without a shirt now, I’ll use a tank top instead but that doesn’t apply to Peter sha!

How my beef with Davido started-Wizkid opens up

Davido said his beef with Wizkid started because  he felt Wizkid threw a shade at him,saying he does proper shows at proper venues ..In a new interview with Olisa Abibua on "The Truth" Wizkid told his own side of the story
That situation was just funny to me because we were all on the same flight. I got back, I was really tweeting about my show, I was talking about myself. I had a show in New York before that, that was like a year, two years ago, it was sold out, sound was bad, venue we used was crazy....it was fucked up. I land for airport nah, I was going to my hotel, drove through the venue, I saw my name in shining lights, and I was like "Wow! This is me?"I came down, took a picture , posted it saying I do proper shows, proper venues. People started catching feelings
. When I saw that, it was funny. It was all just play, I no get time abeg, no energy. Proper shows, that's what I do, mehn. So if you get mad, that means,why you mad? You don't do proper shows at proper venues? Why are you mad? I wasn't talking to you. I feel that if I'm doing something for myself, happy about my success and you are hating at my success, I don' know what to say to you. Do I consider you as a friend or foe? I don't know
He also addressed his relationship with Tania Omotayo, his contract with EME and revealed this is his last album with the record Label

Nigeria's oldest preacher, 114 dies: church

The country's oldest preacher, who seven years ago married a woman 77 years his junior, has died, church officials said on Wednesday. He was said to have been 114.
The Reverend Samuel Akinbode Sadela died on Sunday after a brief illness associated with old age, a senior official in his Gospel Apostolic Church in the Gbagada district of Lagos told AFP.
"Papa (Sadela) died shortly after he took ill. We really miss the pastor who founded and nurtured the church to its present level," said the official, who asked not to be named.
Sadela, a widely-travelled churchman who had preached in the United States and Britain, maintained that he was born in August 1900, according to his congregation. But no official document supports the claim.
If he was born on that date, he would have been the oldest man in the world.
Dozens of church members, sympathisers and relations queued on Wednesday to sign a book of condolence in the church grounds.
Sadela, who had been on the pulpit for 82 years, married his third wife in 2007, a 30-year-old woman called Christiana.
His first marriage, which yielded seven children, none of whom survived infancy, lasted 21 years. He married his second wife in 1965 and had four children, two of whom died. She passed away in 2001.
Guinness World Records on August 20 confirmed Sakari Momoi, of Japan, as the world's oldest living man as 111 years 196 days. He was born on February 5, 1903.
The oldest living person is Japanese woman, Misao Okawa, 116, who was born on March 5, 1898.
The oldest person ever to have lived is Jeanne Calment of France, who lived to 122 years and 164 days. The oldest man ever, Jiroemon Kimura, of Japan, died on June 12, 2013 aged 116 years 54 days.
