Emenike's agent had beforehand been approached by Fenerbahce officials to arrange the player's "injury" for the match, it was alleged. The 25-year-old attacker's case has been tried separately from a larger trial that has rocked Turkish football and which ended in July seeing the president of Fenerbahce, Aziz Yildirim, sentenced to six years and three months in prison.

Worst Dressed at the American Music Awards 2012

At last night's American Music Awards in Los Angeles, the biggest names in music came together to celebrate the industry's finest. Despite the glitz and glamour of the night, there were several fashion fails spotted on the red carpet. Here are the five worst offenders this year. Justin Bieber Granted, it's been a rough week for The Biebs with rumors about a split from Selena Gomez circulating the world and filling every tabloid newspaper. However, Justin took smart/casual a bit too far in the direction of casual. His trademark over-sized pants looked a little out of place at such a prestigious event, and in fact, all of his clothes looked a couple sizes too big and hung off his small frame. However, his mom Patti Mallette,...

Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy's Unlikely Romance

Pint-sized actress turned fashion designer Mary-Kate Olsen raised eyebrows when she was first reported to be dating Olivier Sarkozy, an asset manager and half-brother of Nicolas Sarkozy, the former President of France. The most obvious reason is their difference in stature – he’s more than 6' tall and she’s just 5'2"  but it doesn't help matters that the 26-year-old's new beau is 17 years her senior. The latest photographs of the odd couple, which, let's be honest, looked like a man out with his daughter at first glance, show them buttoned up in coats on the chilly streets of NYC. Despite the age gap, Olsen and Sarkozy, 43, have managed to make their relationship work. And it’s lasted much longer than anyone expected. The unlikely...

OMG LOOK HE'S LOOKING AT HER BOOBS

  Kim was invited to the Greenville, N.C. event by Sgt. Martin Gardner, whose laser-focused eyes have been the inspiration for many a "OMG LOOK HE'S LOOKING AT HER BOOBS" headline this morning. And of course he is, but I'm guessing the kid is also in the middle of reacting to a very odd moment, aka: a minute ago they were probably talking about where they're both from and what's on the menu for the evening--then, when a paparazzi uttered the magic word ("Kim!"), she transformed into a mugging, pouting, smize-ing insta-model. It can be quite the jarring interruption, I'm sure. But Sgt. Gardner recovered rather nicely, don't you think? Assuming he didn't leave a fuming girlfriend at home to take advantage of this one-time opportunity,...

Replica of Noah's Ark built by a Dutch contractor, Johan Huibers.

It was built approximately to scale, however is 1/2 the length and 1/3 the width of the Biblical dimensions. It was built to show the world how massive the Ark was and how so many animals could have been housed for a long time. It was built in smaller scale so it would be able to travel around Europe, navigating the canals, bridges, and rivers en route. There have been several comments on the improbability of getting 2 of every animal onboard the Ark. Take a look at this website http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/sizeark.html . Briefly... The Ark had the same capacity as more than 500 train boxcars. Remember, not all animals needed to be full grown, not every variation of every genus. Also remember that not every variant of every genus...
