Hawaii Missile Threat
While it might sound like something from a horror movie, Hawaiian residents were terrified as they gathered family members and ran out onto the streets, desperately seeking shelter as they awaited the attack. Social media was filled with accounts from horrified Hawaiians, sharing how frantic they were during those 38 minutes.
Many have been left asking why it took so long for emergency management to reveal it was a false alarm, with some residents only finding out it was sent in error because of a tweet sent in the interim by US Representative Tulsi Gabbard.
A revised alert informing of the “false alarm” did not reach mobile phones until about 40 minutes after the first warning was sent.

Aziz Ansari
The prominent actor and comedian Aziz Ansari was accused of sexual misconduct after a 23 year old photographer spoke to babe.net. Detailing how she felt uncomfortable and constantly expressed verbal and non-verbal clues. Aziz responded with this statement,
“In September of last year, I met a woman at a party. We exchanged numbers. We texted back and forth and eventually went on a date. We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual.
“The next day, I got a text from her saying that although ‘it may have seemed okay,’ upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.
“I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.” – Aziz Ansari
Chrissy Teigen Fronts $100K
Model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen has offered to pay the $100,000 fine faced by Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast McKayla Maroney if she speaks about abuse by disgraced USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.
In a lawsuit filed last month, Maroney alleges that USA Gymanstics paid her to keep quiet about the team’s long-time doctor, with her lawyers arguing that the organisation’s effort to keep her quiet is “an immoral and illegal attempt to silence a victim of child sexual abuse.”
Kim Kardashian
On a much lighter note, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have welcomed baby number three into their family.
