Will.i.am accused of unlawfully firing his employees.

 We've come to know will.i.am as the pint sized member of the Black Eyed Peas, who broke into the scene a b-boy and left it a multi-millionaire. Well, Today wasn't his finest hour, for as TMZ reported, will.i.am is being sued by a former employee who claims he fired her on grounds of age discrimination. In the lawsuit she filed this week, Pamela Bailey claims that she and several other employees got the boot from his production company. Quite conspicuously all the employees that got the ax were over the age of 40.

Bailey claims that will.i.am hired her as a personal chef, but eventually tacked on added responsibility, while increasing her wages in the process. She held onto to those responsibilities 'til the bitter end when the mass firings began happening. The work shortage left her, aged 61, without a dependable source of income. She cites the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 in her case against William James Adams Jr.

Will.i.am has kept quiet since the allegations went public. The singer/producer/dancer has not recorded an album since willpower in 2013, and not since 2010 as a member of the Black Eyed Peas. Of course, his musical ventures have paved the way for countless entrepreneurial opportunities, to which many of those employees seem to have been included, hence the social power of a Grammy.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
