Victoria's Secret Wedding Alert! Model Lindsay Ellingson is Engaged

Another Victoria's Secret Angel has a wedding to plan: Model Lindsay Ellingson announced her engagement to boyfriend Sean Clayton earlier today!
We spotted supportive boyfriends, fiancées, and husbands scattered throughout the crowd at the taping of this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last month, but Clayton was not yet on our radar. Thanks to his proposal, Ellingson can now join fellow affianced Angels like Behati Prinsloo and Hilary Rhoda in wedding planning. Maybe the betrothed VS trio will even pick out gorgeous, model-worthy wedding dresses together!
According to Us Weekly (which also has a peek at her ring), Ellingson showed off her new left-hand sparkler at a screening of the the fashion show at the Highline Stages in New York Tuesday night. Sources told Us that her ring features diamonds on the band-we can only imagine her fellow Angels gushing at the sight of it!
Clayton reportedly proposed to Ellingson on Thanksgiving at his parents' home in Ohio. Though she has yet to post a picture of her engagement ring or any official news on social media, she did share several pictures, including one beautiful photo of a house covered in snow on Instagram over the holiday weekend.
Between her engagement and Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine's upcoming nuptials, we'd say there must be something in the water over at Victoria's Secret, but we think there's nothing mysterious about these beautiful ladies being taken off the market.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

Tanzania Is To Become The First East African Country To Produce And Export Chocolate



Tanzania dips into Chocolate trade

Lameck Borega, the Investment Facilitation Officer of the Export Processing Zone, made the announcement at the 36thDar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DITF).

The Swiss chocolatier Nuechatel, who has been operating since 1982, is to open a base in Tanzania’s Export Processing Zone by this September; with a view to producing high-quality chocolate for both Swiss and US markets later this year.  The deal will also have a high level of sustainability and is sure to bring further jobs and wealth to an area rich in natural resources. 

The factory is likely to be situated in the Benjamin Mkapa EPZ, and Nuechatel has already produced local chocolate samples, which are being exhibited at the 36thDITF this week. 

Whilst Tanzania is the first East African country to strike such a deal, Swiss chocolate makers are no strangers to the African market, with the West African nation of Ghana continuing to produce over 50 percent of Swiss cocoa.

Aside from job creation, the deal will also drive down the local price of chocolate, a commodity that is much loved in urban areas and among young people. 

“For the first time, consumers are going to have chocolate made locally with the label 'quality chocolate from Tanzania’”, said a proud Borega, who has arranged the agreement so that 20 percent of the product can be sold locally with price incentives for Tanzanian consumers.

Kamillo Kitzmantel, General Manager of the world famous chocolate makers Lindt, has been noted as saying:“supply can never meet demand.”  With this in mind, the decision from the Tanzanian Ministry of Trade to dip into the chocolate market can only be seen as a safe one, especially as African cocoa is considered the gold standard in chocolate production.

Although exports will largely be aimed towards US and European markets, there is a possibility for further intra-African trade, and in the past three years the scale of Tanzania’s exports going to other African countries has increased by 11 percent to 41.9 percentof total exports. 

The private agreement between Neuchatel and Tanzania’s Ministry of Trade and Agriculture is set to be one of many blossoming relationships between European business expertise and African agriculture.

Kanye West Admit Love For Kim Kardashian And Plans On Engagement Ring Soon


Kanye West unexpectedly released a brand-new song online, "Theraflu,"and in between the 34-year-old rapper's typically over-the-top boasts and X-rated tangents, he made a surprising confession about his pal Kim Kardashian.
Looking back on his romance with ex Amber Rose, who is now engaged to Wiz Khalifa, West rapped, "Only n---- I got respect for is Wiz, And I admit I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him."
West then went on to make a catty reference to Kardashian's future ex-husband, NBA star Kris Humphries, who just happens to play for the New Jersey Nets, which is owned by West's good friend Jay-Z. "Well that's cool, baby girl, do your thing, lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team," he rapped, implying he could get Humphries, 27, fired from the team.

Kanye West: Admitted, He is in Love with Kim Kardashian


As a man, I’m not perfect,  Kanye West confessed halfway through his set at the lavish Revel Resort in Atlantic City Friday night. "But my music is! I make perfect music!" It was hard to argue. As the already-iconic MC bounced around five albums of material, complete with lavish stage sets and a bevy of dancers, it was clear that West loved his catalogue more than anyone else in the auditorium. "This is the best you’ll ever get it!
Divided into three acts, West’s first solo headlining show in over a year traced the engrossing narrative of his career, from his humble, everyman beginnings to the blissful highs and painful lows. He opened the show atop a large crane, floating over the audience to "Dark Fantasy" with calm, focused eyes and a simple all-white ensemble. As he descended and made his way through the crowd to take the stage to perform "Power," not one fan tried to touch him, a moment that foreshadowed the awe-inducing, isolating spirit of the track. Much of his performance evoked the aesthetics of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy: a large biblical-themed backdrop adorned the stage, nearly nude ballerinas writhed in tightly choreographed chaos, and West himself appeared a tragic hero, overcoming his self-imposed underdog status with every beat dropped and bar spat.
When he launched into the new "Way Too Cold" (formally known as "Theraflu"), he pointed to the rafters for "I admit I fell in love with Kim," the night’s only acknowledgement of his new-girlfriend/accessory Kim Kardashian. After months of sharing the stage with big brother Jay-Z, this night was about Kanye – no material from Watch The Throne was performed. Gems from his early career like "Jesus Walks" and "Can’t Tell Me Nothing" fit right alongside the pounding extravagance of his later catalogue, suggesting that West’s been writing for arenas since the beginning. But it was an a cappella verse from his latest track "New God Flow," that stole the show, including a nod to the late Whitney Houston that received an immediate ovation.
Now that popular music has finally caught up to it, 808s & Heartbreak has revealed itself to be Kanye’s most vulnerable work, and perhaps his most brilliant. He opened up to perform "Love Lockdown" and "Say You Will," telling an elaborate story about getting stood up for a one-night stand (as a lone dancer performed what was probably the most important solo of her career – this night was about Kanye). West’s love-letter to Chicago, "Homecoming," felt even more relevant in this painful moment for the city, where violence increases with every warmer day and rising MCs like Chief Keef paint a darker, angrier Chicago than the soulful black mecca that West and frequent-collaborator Common have come to embody. "You left your kids, and they just like you, they wanna rap and make soul beats just like you," he rhymed – "I Don’t Like" isn’t exactly soul, but the pain is there.
Kanye West doesn’t perform songs so much as he showcases them, like a proud child showing off a crayon drawing. One of the richest moments of the evening came during "All of the Lights," when West offered anecdotes about the song’s recording during the Dark Fantasy sessions in Hawaii. "This all started when Jeff [Bhasker] laid down this horn line, and I laid some drums over it like . . ." – at which point he mimicked the drum track with an impressive beatbox. "We had everybody in there writing on it, and I needed a hook, none of the hooks was working. Then one day I had The-Dream in there, we was working on a BeyoncĂ© record, and you know he so cold. I said 'Yo I need a hook on this record,' and he heard it once and sang 'Turn up the lights in here, baby!'" He resurrected his 2010 MTV VMA performance for "Runaway," and Pusha T joined him as the night’s only guest performance.
After a moving rendition of "Lost In the World," featuring a trashing routine from his dancers and an elaborate light display, West closed his show in dedication to his late mother, performing "Hey Mama" to a standing ovation. "This show and every show is dedicated to one person," he said of his mother, before gathering his entire cast of dancers to take a bow. "This is not just some YouTube sensation that blew up over night, these girls have been doing this since they was two years old," he said. "It’s blood on this stage right now." After a night that was all about Kanye, he was proud to share his spotlight.
