2015 BMW X5 M, X6 M First Look

When the BMW X5 M debuted for the 2010 model year, it set the standards for what a performance-oriented SUV can accomplish. Now, the high-performance SUV and its coupe-like sibling, the X6 M, are undergoing a second makeover to further boost performance, fuel economy, and overall curb appeal. Both the X5 M and X6 M will receive identical performance modifications for 2015. Under the hood is a 4.4-liter turbocharged direct-and injected V-8 engine that produces 567 hp, which is just a 3-percent increase from the previous model year. The real news is a 53-lb-ft increase in torque for a total of 553 lb-ft. Also improving performance is a new eight-speed M Steptronic transmission, replacing the old six-speed. This new tranny behaves similarly to the M Double Clutch transmission used in other M models, providing rapid gear changes and increased fuel economy. All these enhancements make the new models much faster. Getting these midsize utility vehicles from 0-60 mph now only takes 4.0 se...

Beyonce channels pin-up model Bettie Page with new fringe and floral playsuit as she enjoys night out with Jay Z and Adele

She caused quite the media frenzy with her new fringe this week, but Beyonce managed to work the new look with ease by channelling 1950s pin-up model Bettie Page on Friday evening. The statuesque star was unable to hide her smile when she was pictured heading to Harry’s Bar in London with husband Jay Z and fellow songstress Adele. The 33-year-old showed off her fashion credentials in a floral printed playsuit, while she added some height to the proceedings with an envy-inducing pair of black strappy heels. Beyonce accessorised her style even further with various earrings and a black designer clutch, while the 44-year-old rapper kept things cool in a camouflage jacket and tailored trousers. Although the couple made quite the bold entrance, Adele, 26, tried to keep a low-profile by covering her face with her hands as she made her way inside the venue. Jay Z was seen outside the venue located in Notting Hill under the Westway and they paid a minimum of £550 for the privilege.

Gordon Brown wants UK troops in Nigeria

Brown former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Gordon Brown who is also the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, has asked the British government to send troops to Nigeria to help rescue the abducted pupils of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State. He said, “These wholly innocent young girls—Lugwa Abuga, Rhoda John, Comfort Amos, Maryamu Yakubu and 200 others—are now incarcerated in the forest areas of Borno State. Some have perhaps been dispersed across three other countries: Niger, Cameroon and Chad. Their physical and mental health is a worry for everyone. “If the girls have been dispersed to a number of different places, a rescue mission for one group would immediately put the other groups at risk. That is the dilemma that confronts the Nigerian Government, as understand it. “That is why they need additional support to monitor what is happening and, if it is necessary to intervene, (we should send) the troops, securi...

I dont enjoy peoples love and admiration like before- Baba Suwe

Baba Suwe Alhaji Babatunde Nurudeen Omidina, otherwise known as Baba Suwe is a well know actor in Nollywood. In a recent interview, he claimed friends don't feel comfortable around him following his infamous cocaine case with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). I have not collected any compensation money from NDLEA yet. The most painful thing is that I was wrongly accused. Had it been I actually committed the crime, I wouldn’t mind, but they just punished me for nothing. I was in NDLEA custody for almost three weeks, and nothing was found on me. No matter the kind of juju one may have,I dont think there is anybody that can conceal cocaine for even two days.“Even a lot of people that could have assisted me financially dont want to associate with me again.People within and outside the industry have deserted me on account of the allegation. They still doubt me despite my victory in court.”“I have sung praises of some people in some of my movies, and ...
