KRIS JENNER GOES ON A SHOPPING SPREE WITH HER 30-YEAR OLD LOVER

They can deny all they want that they're not dating, but Kris Jenner
and Ben Flajnik are certainly doing nothing to douse the flames by
being photographed constantly in each other's company.
On Friday, the 57-year-old mother-of-six treated Ben to a shopping
spree at Barney's in Los Angeles, before hopping on a flight to Las
Vegas to celebrate daughter Kim Kardashian's 33rd birthday.The former
Bachelor star – who incidentally is four years younger than Kris's
eldest child, Kourtney, 34 – looked in desperate need of a wardrobe
makeover in his ill-fitting blue jeans, which were tucked into clearly
well-loved brown boots, a scruffy grey shirt and dark brown leather
jacket.
Kim's mum is apparently 27 years older than her lover.

EDO STATE GOVERNMENT DENIES HOSTING DILLISH

 

 Edo State government finally releases a press statement, which denies ever hosting BBA winner, Dillish, last weekend. Well, they kinda have a point...they can say the government didn't host her, but Governor Adams Oshiomhole hosted her...and that's fact! She wasn't hosted at the government house, but the governor's private house in Edo state. Dillish and a few other girls were there on Saturday October 19th (for those wondering why she didn't make an appearance at Selly's party in Abuja that day) and I have the low down of everything that went down but I will leave all that out because after all said and done, Gov Oshimhole is a single man. I can also tell you one thing for free, Dillish gave a condition for accepting the invitation...she would only pay a courtesy visit and nothing more. All parties agreed!
