American beauty brand Maybelline made its way to the 254 earlier this year with Muthoni Njoba leading the way as its official make-up artiste.

President Obama's cousin, Marie Auma, sues police Sh64M over farting claims

One of Barack Obama's cousins is suing the Met Police for £400,000 pounds over claims colleagues subjected her to a campaign of harassment and passed wind next to her desk.
Marie Auma told a court that officers and staff at Southwark Police Station conspired to bully her - with two officers regularly breaking wind near her in a "primitive" and "loud" manner.
The 57-year-old, who was at American President Obama's inauguration in 2009, claims she was constantly belittled and humiliated between 2007 and 2009.
The harassment began in 2007 when she was refused leave to visit her two brothers' graves after they died in a car crash in Kenya and ended in her being medically retired with mental health difficulties, the court heard.
Ms Auma, of Green Lanes, Palmers Green, north London, is fighting for £400,000 compensation in a trial at Central London County Court. The Met denies liability.
Judge Simon Freeland QC heard Ms Auma, whose job involved liaising with crime victims on the Telephone Investigations Bureau, had been the victim of "21st Century bullying."
Describing how colleagues would break wind next to her, Ms Auma said: "This was happening on the telephone investigation desk.
"It became a common practice and nobody was investigating this behaviour.
"It was two of them - PC Andy Whiting and Ray Clement - who would do this kind of behaviour.
"PC Whiting was passing wind when he came and stood right in front of me, passing wind in a very primitive way. It made a "brrrp" noise.

Arsene Wenger to divorce wife Annie

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (65) has separated from his wife, Annie
Brosterhous (59). The couple has an 18-year-old daughter.
It was claimed by The Sun that Wenger and partner Annie had a ‘separation of bodies’ judgement issued by a judge in Paris, meaning that they are free to see other people. Wenger is still expected to support Annie financially, The Sun reported.
A source told the newspaper: “They have divided up their assets and agreed a financial package to separate. They have not been happy for a while, and they decided this was the best course of action to take.”
A few weeks before the wedding in 2010, it was reported that Wenger had become close to the then 39-year-old French rapper,  Sonia Tatar.

Busted: KQ Air Hostess nabbed With Sh28 Million Worth Of Heroin

We have heard of stories where people fall from grace to grass in the blink of an eye.
And today, being TBT and all, we take a look at one of the most famous cases of grass to grace, the infamous nabbing of a KQ airhostess, Priscilla Chemutai Kolongoi.
Priscilla enjoyed quite a lovely lifestyle as an air hostess before her life took a rapid nose dive from the skies to the gutters. This is after she was caught trying to smuggle heroin worth 28 million Kshs into the country from India on the fateful morning of March 25 2002.
The high-flying airhostess, was nabbed when she tried to wheel in the 33 packages and 2 sachets of the illegal drug after a obligatory check at customs.

A crime that promised a mandatory life sentence if she was found guilty, lucky for her the judge gave her 18 years along with a fine of Kshs 10 Million. She attempted to untangle herself from this mess but it only made things worse and he fine was raised to 83.4 Million. All this for a job that would have earned her around 210,000 Kshs which was quite a rip-off considering the street value of the drugs she was trying to smuggle in.
Now 13 years later Priscilla Chemutai Kolongoi is free thanks to her good conduct while in jail.

Kenyans React To The Troubling Mecca Tragedy (Photos)

Sad news trickling in from Saudi Arabia indicates several worshippers have died in a stampede during one of the last rituals of the Hajj season.
The annual Muslim Hajj obviously started off on the wrong foot. 10 days before, 2 million pilgrims made their way to Islam’s holiest city, a crane collapsed killing 107 people at a mosque.
And now as Hajj closes down the curtains, catastrophe strikes again. International news outlets indicate that more 700 people have died in a stampede that occurred during a ritual known as ‘stoning the devil’ in the tent city of Mina, in the outskirts of Mecca.
Report also points out the number of casualties could be more since authorities haven’t accounted for everybody.
The number of those injured from the stampede stands at 800, according to figures released by the Saudi government.
Kenyans lead by president Uhuru Kenyatta have been quick to express empathy, condolences
and show concern for the pilgrims following the disaster. ‘Mecca’ is currently trending second on twitter. A number of Kenyan Muslims had also traveled to Mecca.
