Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Whitney Houston, is alive and breathing, Roswell police told our sister station WXIA-TV this afternoon.

Roswell police wouldn't go into further detail about her condition.

Brown, 21, was found unresponsive in a bathtub Saturday and taken to a hospital in the north Atlanta suburbs.Her husband, Nick Gordan, and the friend called 911 and performed CPR on Brown because they did not believe she was breathing nor had a pulse, said Officer Lisa Holland, a spokeswoman for the Roswell Police Department.

A hospital spokeswoman did not return repeated messages seeking comment on Brown's condition.

"Right now she's still alive at the hospital," Holland said.

The incident remains under investigation.

Most Shocking Claims in the Mariah Carey-Nanny Lawsuit

Mariah Carey’s former live-in nanny slapped the world famous superstar and her estranged husband Nick Cannon with a lawsuit this week, claiming they owe her money for unpaid overtime.

Simonette DeCosta and her attorneys filed the suit in New York district court on Wednesday. According to the suit, DeCosta was the full-time nanny for Carey and Cannon's 3-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, from October 2013 through her termination on Jan. 26, 2014. She was paid between $3,000 and $3,600 twice a month, the suit claims, and even traveled with Carey on international trips to take care of the children.

DeCosta is suing for “unpaid overtime wages, premium wages, liquidated damages,” and attorney fees. A representative for Mariah Carey told ABC News that they don’t comment on “frivolous lawsuits.”

Here are some of the most shocking claims laid out in the lawsuit:

1.

DeCosta Claims She Was Fired for Being Too Affectionate With the Children

“Ms. Carey terminated [DeCosta] after berating her for exhibiting too much affection towards her children,” the suit reads.

2.

DeCosta Alleges She Worked a Lot of Overtime

According to the suit, DeCosta “often worked well over 100 hours per week.” The suit claims she had to rotate between 24-hour shifts and 12-hour shifts each week, working seven days a week with 12-hour shifts and five days a week on 24-hour shifts.However, she was not paid for “premium overtime compensation” for working over 40 hours each week, the suit claims.

3.

DeCosta Claims She Wasn’t Allowed Breaks, Not Even for Sleep

When DeCosta was working a 24-hour shift, the suit claims that meant she was on-call the whole time, “with no entitlement for breaks for meals, and even sleep.”

4.

Mariah Carey Would Allegedly Call With Demands at All Hours

“Ms. Carey would often call [DeCosta] at hours in the middle of the night and demand to be taken to her children, or to be updated as to the status of her children,” the suit claims. “Ms. Carey would not tolerate any delay. ... [DeCosta] was expected to be working.”

Suge Knight turns himself in after 'killing friend in hit-and-run

 Marion 'Suge' Knight has apparently turned himself in to authorities after he was involved in a fatal hit-and-run incident on Thursday in Compton, California, that left one man dead and put another in the hospital.
According to Mailonline,Police believe Knight and some other men were involved in an argument on the set of the upcoming N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton on Thursday afternoon.
When the men went to lunch at Tam's Burger's 20 minutes later, Knight, 49, is believed to have followed the men in his red pickup truck before running two of them over in the parking lot.

Knight's lawyer says his client 'accidentally' hit the men but the incident is being treated as a homicide.Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department detective's unit said:

'Looks like he drove backwards and struck the victims and drove forwards and struck them again.The people we talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act.They obviously knew each other.They got into some kind of verbal altercation and it escalated.The man who was killed was 55 and the surviving victim is 51. His condition is unknown. 

Early this morning Knight was seen arriving at a Sheriff's West Hollywood Station, ABC 7 Los Angeles reported.  Homicide detectives are interviewing the Death Row Records founder.

Blatt admitted Knight was driving the truck but said he was 'confident that once the investigation is completed, he will be totally exonerated'.

'He was in the process of being physically assaulted by two men and in an effort to escape he unfortunately hit two (other) individuals.He was in his car trying to escape.' 

Knight's empty truck was found late Thursday night in a West Los Angeles parking lot.

This is all just the most recent in a string of legal problems and police run-ins for Knight.
He was shot six times in August at a Los Angeles nightclub at a party hosted by Chris Brown.
Then, he and comedian Katt Williams were arrested in October and charged with felony robbery for allegedly stealing a camera for a woman who was taking photos of the two.

The actual incident took place on September 5, just over a week after Knight had been shot.
He had been scheduled to appear in court this week after pleading not guilty in that case and being set free on$500,000 bail.

Knight was also arrested in both 2009 and 2010 for his alleged involvement in two robberies.
In 2008 he was also arrested on suspicion of drug possession and assault. 
In 1996 he was driving with his friend Tupac Shakur when the rapper was shot and killed in the passenger seat, a case that to this day remains unsolved.

In 1997 he was sentenced to nine years in prison after being convicted in an assault case, and was released in 2001.
He was sent back two years later for violating his parole - after he hit a parking attendant.

Buhari Beating Jonathan In AIT Online Poll Despite Ongoing Propaganda Documentary Against Him

An online poll set up by African Independent Television (AIT), a television station which belongs to one of President Goodluck Jonathan’s closest friends, has further underlined his unpopularity as the opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, is currently defeating him by at least 75 per cent.

Screenshot of the AIT online pollSahara Reporters Media

To add insult to injury, AIT has since last Saturday been running a documentary aimed at hurting the public perception of Buhari. The hour-long documentary, “The Real Buhari”, reportedly costs the Jonathan campaign N5 million each time it is aired.

The campaign also made a copy of the documentary available online but rather than do damage to Buhari’s support, it seems to have further emboldened his supporters to troop online to vote massively for him.

In similar online polls conducted by Saharareporters, Buhari also defeated Jonathan by a wide margin. 

In reaction to the first of those unfavorable polls, Reno Omokri, who serves as Mr. Jonathan’s social media aide, rushed out to set up another poll on Facebook he called “BuildNigeria”.

But when it became clear that Buhari was defeating Jonathan in his own poll, Reno manipulated the poll and hurriedly closed it after managing to put Jonathan ahead by a mere 1%.

AirAsia QZ8501 fuselage recovery operation suspended

The recovery has been hampered by bad weather, say officials

The Indonesian military has suspended the recovery operation for AirAsia flight QZ8501, which crashed into the Java Sea in December.

Search teams failed to retrieve the fuselage after three days of attempts using a lifting bag.

Officials initially thought bodies were inside, but now say recovering the wreckage is not a priority as they believe no victims remain.

So far only 70 bodies of the 162 people who were on board have been found.

The recovery operation has been hampered by stormy weather.

Indonesia's military chief, Gen Moeldoko, told the BBC that the wreckage was too fragile to be lifted.

He added that he had decided to pull troops back to their base after some of the divers involved in the operation were treated for decompression sickness, the BBC's Alice Budisatrijo reports.

It comes after a previous attempt to raise the plane on Saturday failed when the fuselage began to break into pieces.

AirAsia flight QZ8501 was flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore when it plummeted into the sea on 28 December.

A preliminary report on the crash is expected to be filed this week, although the full investigation will take months.

On Friday divers entered the main section of the fuselage, which is at a depth of 30m.

The plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were found earlier this month.

Information retrieved from the recorders showed that the jet had climbed too fast, causing it to stall, according to Indonesia's Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan.

Gunmen attack Corinthia Hotel in Libya

The hotel is popular with foreign diplomats and government officials

Gunmen opened fire on Corinthia Hotel, and a car bomb exploded near the premises

Gunmen who attacked the luxurious Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli, Libya, on Tuesday have killed at least two Libyan security personnel and injured three others, a security spokesman said.

Three gunmen are still holed up in the hotel, Essam al-Naas, the spokesman for the joint security operations room for Tripoli, told CNN.

An online group that supports ISIS said online that the attack was carried out in the name of Abu Anas al-Libi.

Al Libi was an alleged al Qaeda operative accused of involvement in the bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, who was captured by U.S. special forces in Libya. He died in a U.S. hospital earlier this month.

Tuesday's attack began when militants detonated a car bomb in the parking lot of the hotel.Guests have been evacuated to safety, but it's not clear if there are additional casualties.

The five-star hotel is popular among government officials, some of whom reside there.

"We're watching the situation very closely," a spokesman for the Corinthia Group in Malta told CNN.

A witness to the events told CNN that all roads leading to the Corinthia Hotel have been sealed off by security forces.

Security forces and emergency services have surrounded the hotel

People have been warned to stay away from what's described as an ongoing situation, the witness said, adding that there had been exchanges of gunfire.

Fighter jets pound B’Haram locations in Monguno

• (1&2) A Cobra Armoured Personnel Carrier and a rocket launcher captured by troops from fleeing insurgents in Konduga, Borno State… on Monday (3) A base used by the insurgents for treating wounded colleagues. Arrowed is a drip.

Gunshots boomed again in Monguno, Borno State on Monday as   troops, backed by fighter jets, launched a major offensive to recapture the city from militant islamist sect, Boko Haram.

“The operation resumed on Monguno this (Monday) morning through air bombardment to dislodge the insurgents,” a Defence Headquarters source told Reuters news agency.

The source made this known as the death toll from the foiled bid by the sect to capture Maiduguri is believed to have risen from 65 to 100.

The sect had launched   simultaneous attacks on   Maiduguri, Monguno, Kodunga and Gubio on Sunday. While its fighters were repelled in Maiduguri, Gubio and Kodunga, they overran Monguno after soldiers who   engaged them in gun battle retreated.

A   military barracks in the city was seized and   the Brigade commander wounded by the insurgents.

The Defence Headquarters,   in one of its tweets on Monday,   said   the troops inflicted more casualties on fleeing insurgents while military locations in Maiduguri and Konduga were reinforced.

It   further stated that the troops captured a large number of heavy military hardware from the insurgents.

The tweet read, “Our forces recorded some casualties. Meanwhile, ground troops are in charge and Air Force patrol on going at Maiduguri and Konduga.

“Substantial amount of heavy weapons have been captured   as more terrorists died in the fight which lasted till early Monday morning.”

5,000 flee to Maiduguri

The National Emergency Management Agency Information Officer in the North-East, AbdulKadir Ibrahim, said that 5,000 persons that fled the captured town had been registered in Maiduguri.

He said that the Borno State Government provided an almost completed housing estate   for the IDPs.

Ibrahim explained that 2,000 of them arrived the state capital on Sunday and 3,000 on Monday.

He said, “We are expecting more people;   we have put the needed materials for   them to settle well in the camp.”

Reuters also reported   that majority of those killed in the Maiduguri fighting were Boko Haram members.

It said that a Maiduguri-based journalist, Bello Dukku, who visited a mortuary in the city counted 100 bodies, including 15   soldiers.

According to Dukku, 50 people   injured in the fighting.

Meanwhile, the   curfew imposed on Maiduguri after the Sunday attack has been lifted.

A   spokesman for the Army in the state, Col. Sani Usman, said, “The curfew   has been lifted.   People can go about their legitimate business.”

The state Governor,   Kashim Shettima,   had earlier on Monday explained to the residents of the city that the curfew was imposed “to enable security personnel to carry out their operations.”

He said, “I call on the people of Borno State not to panic. This is our land. No fear, no flight, no retreat. We should not flee. We have a history dating back 1,000 years and I swear by Allah, we are going to subdue them (Boko Haram).”

The governor, who   also described the attack on Monguno as bad, said, “ I will not lie to you. People are trooping to Maiduguri. They are being protected by the military outside the city.

“There is a need for screening before they are allowed in.”

Meanwhile, an A online news medium, TheCable, said in its report on Monday that   the insurgents   attacked Michika, in Adamawa State, “killing people and burning houses”.

It quoted a   a source as having said that the terrorists arrived in the town at about 2pm on Monday “firing gunshots indiscriminately and   burning houses.”

“People who are running, trying to escape but are being shot. The soldiers are engaging them(insurgents) right now and I hope they overcome them,” he added

Oyedepo's church divided over prayer for GEJ

Attempts by Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners Chapel, Ota, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, to make members of his congregation pray for President Goodluck Jonathan to win the 14 February Presidential election backfired on Sunday when some members refused to stand up from their seats to pray for Jonathan.

Bishop Oyedepo had asked members to stand up to pray for Jonathan who came to the church for prayers to win the election, but some members of the congregation who were not happy with Jonathan’s performance refused to stand up. They remained seated and refused to pray for Jonathan.

This did not however stop the prosperity preacher from praying for Jonathan.

Worshippers and clergymen got more than they expected with the visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to the headquarters of the church, located in Ota, Ogun State, western Nigeria on Sunday, when the church was hit with condemnations and criticisms from Nigerians.

President Jonathan, with some of his aides, the Chief of Staff to the President, Jones Arogbofa and the Executive Secretary, Christian Pilgrim Board, Mr. Kennedy Okpara, worshipped at the church during its third service after they arrived the church premises in a helicopter.

A few minutes after his departure, however, the internet went buzzing with the news of his visit as bloggers latched on to whatever they could gather. Many of them ended up misquoting and misinforming the public thus resulting in the outrage that greeted the President’s visit.

Nigerians were provoked by the statement falsely credited to the General Overseer of the church, Bishop David Oyedepo, saying he would open the gates of hell upon anyone who opposed Jonathan’s re-election.
Some of the bloggers even claimed that he warned his church members against voting for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, and that anyone who went against this remains a candidate of hell.
The bloggers’ false interpretation of Oyedepo’s admonition irked Nigerians who saw this as an affront on their mentality and wondered if Oyedepo was God or if he actually had the keys to hell.

While some Nigerians said they were shocked that Oyedepo could make such a comment, others went comiccalling him a man of “small gods.”

Unfortunately, however, many of these bloggers and news writers were not in the church during the President’s visit, but they all attributed their news to sources within the church.

Our correspondent who attended the third service of the church which was also attended by the President, his aides and politicians in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from Lagos and Ogun states, reports that the drama however began from the church.

Before his preaching during the service, Bishop Oyedepo had given President Jonathan the opportunity to address the congregation.

Spending very few minutes, Jonathan, who said he did not want to say much so that Nigerians would not think he only attended the church to campaign, urged the members to pray for the country ahead of the general elections.

He said his call for prayers was necessitated by the various predictions by leaders and clergymen about the elections and their outcome.

“There are various predictions concerning the election, but I trust God to take control of the situation,” Jonathan said.

He also commended Bishop Oyedepo for his commitment to God’s work and to education, adding that only through education of its citizens would a country develop and progress.

“I commend Bishop Oyedepo for his commitment to the work of God and education, without education we can’t achieve much,” he added.

While some of the church members were excited to see Jonathan, others grumbled, saying he had suddenly turned to the Winners Chapel after he discovered that he is no longer welcomed at the Redeemed Christian Church of God since a senior pastor of the church, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, is now the running mate to Buhari who is contesting against Jonathan in the election.

Some also whispered that the pastors in the country were not helping matters as they are not acting like prophets and leaders in the Bible who spoke truth to people in power.

After his speech, the Bishop asked that the church members stand up and pray for the President.

He asked that since God always answered prayers of the church members, they should pray for God to give the President the wisdom and strength to rule the country and the unusual grace to lead the nation.

Our correspondent noted that while many stood up and prayed fervently, some sat down, while some used the opportunity to pray for themselves.
