Nick Cannon Announces Death of Youngest Son Zen from Brain Tumor

The heartbroken father shared the information on The Nick Cannon Show, revealing that the little boy's tumour developed around Thanksgiving Day. "Ultimately, it was cancer in the brain and the tumour began to grow a lot faster. And so we knew that time was . . .," Cannon said, before breaking down into tears. The 41-year-old Cannon added that he spent this past weekend at a beach in California where they shared a few last moments and held each other for the last time. According to Cannon, Zen's health issues started when he was just about two months old when they noticed that his head seemed abnormally large but they thought he had a sinus problem.

Bay Area looters have coordinated by the dozens and descended upon high-end retail stores ... and on Saturday, Walnut Creek's number was called.

Lillian secures first-round win in property dispute with Governor Mutua

Governor Alfred Mutua’s estranged lover Lillian Nganga has won the first round of their bitter court battle over a property dispute. This is after the court dismissed Mutua’s pleas to have the case transferred to Machakos where he claimed the dispute arose. However, the court dismissed his objections ruling that the matter will be heard in Nairobi. Mutua had argued that the Nairobi court lacked territorial jurisdiction to hear and determine the case on the basis that the dispute arose within Machakos County. The court also dismissed the county boss argument that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case filed by Nganga on the basis of the value of the shares and stocks in question. Mutua had also claimed that the issues raised by Nganga in the case were resjudicata arguin...
