Kanye West and Julia Fox Wear Matching Leather Outfits in Paris

Kanye west and Julia Fox are two peas in a pod -- but for Paris Fashion Week, that pod’s made of cow. The couple stepped out together Monday to attend the Schiaparelli Couture show ... wearing matching black outfits, no less. Ye and Julia were in all-leather getups from head to toe -- quite literally in Kanye’s case, specifically. The guy was wearing a full head mask with small slits for his eyes ... sorta like a Lucha libre wrestler. And, per usual, he had those boots on again. Julia, meanwhile, was going for more of a "Black Swan" look upstairs, wearing exaggerated eye shadow that streaked across her face. Indeed, they were going with a pretty futuristic look for sure -- reminiscent of "The Matrix," even. Look, we're just gonna say it ... Morticia and Gomez never looked ...

Kenya lifts first, ban on flights from Dubai

Travellers from Dubai will be allowed into the country from today after Kenya lifted a ban it had imposed on all inbound and transit passenger flights from the Middle East nation two weeks ago.

But the ban did not affect cargo flights that are normally flown by carriers such as Kenya Airways (KQ) and Emirates airline from UEA into Kenya. “Kenya shall do a NOT...
