| Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:18 AM PDT Pope Francis has suspended indefinitely a German Roman Catholic prelate known as the "luxury bishop" from his diocese for spending $43m (31 million euros) of Church funds on his residence. "The Holy See deems it appropriate to authorise a period of leave from the diocese for Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst," the Vatican said in a statement on Wednesday. But the pontiff, who has been stressing austerity, stopped short of dismissing him outright, a step which many German Catholics and the media had called for. In a highly unusual move, Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst of Limburg was ordered to leave his diocese while an investigation and audit into cost over-runs is held, the Vatican statement said. The bishop, who met the pope on Monday, "was currently not in a position to carry out his episcopal ministry". The statement said he should stay outside his diocese "for a period," and that it would be administered in his absence by a vicar-general. It did not specify how long the bishop would have to stay away but added that this would depend on an analysis of the finances of his Limburg diocese and the responsibilities for its high costs. The issue has proven a major embarrassment for the pope, who has called for a more austere Church that sides with the poor. He has told bishops not to live like princes, and has also promised to clean up the murky finances of the Vatican bank. Carelessness or misjudgment The German media has dubbed Tebartz-van Elst "the luxury bishop" after an audit of his spending, ordered after a Vatican monitor visited Limburg last month, revealed the residence cost at least six times more than planned. The Central Committee of German Catholics, which brings together all the Catholic lay associations in the country, said it was satisfied with the decision to suspend the bishop. "Pope Francis' decision offers a chance at a new beginning in the diocese of Limburg where the situation has become heavy in recent weeks both for believers there and for the Church in Germany as a whole," its president Alois Glueck said. He has apologised for any "carelessness or misjudgment on my part", but denies wrongdoing. The bishop flew to Rome last week with low-cost airline Ryanair to explain himself to Francis - following accusations he took an expensive ticket on a trip to India and squandered money. German media, citing official documents, said the residence had been fitted with a free-standing bath that cost 15,000 euros, a conference table that cost 25,000 euros and a private chapel for 2.9 million euros. The "luxury bishop" story has deeply embarrassed a Church enjoying an upswing in popularity thanks to Pope Francis's mass appeal and following years of criticism for hiding sexual abuse cases among clergy. Tebartz-van Elst, 53, is 22 years away from official retirement age in the Church and his saga represents an extraordinary management quandary for the Vatican. Even if he eventually steps down from the diocese of Limburg, he would retain the title and rank of bishop, meaning the Vatican would have to find another post for him somewhere. The scandal has also put pressure on German bishops for more financial transparency in the entire Church in their country, forcing them to scrap centuries of secrecy over the reporting of the value of their private endowments. Germany's church tax, collected by the state and handed over to the churches, raised 5.2 billion euros for the Catholics and 4.6 billion euros for Protestants in 2012. According to some media reports in Germany, the Limburg scandal has prompted more Germans to decide to formally leave the Church.

| Cute!! Mike Ezuronye Show off his adorable son!! Posted: 25 Oct 2013 08:16 AM PDT  Happy father Mike Ezuronye is ever joyful for the dual gift of life; a beautiful wife and big bouncing baby boy. In 2011, Mike finally tied the knot with his Canadian based girlfriend and the couple delivered the first baby almost 9 months after the nuptials. Mike who was at that time on the set of a new movie being shot stopped midway and got the next flight from Nigeria to Canada to be with his wife and baby. His joy was boundless and kept us updated on how things panned out for the first week of being a father. Since then, Mike has kept up with sending snippets of his baby boy to the public and the latest is of the new haircut the couple so decided for him; the MOHAWK. The image Mike released was very small hence the blurriness. AfricanMoviesNews  | |
| HURRAY!! Olu Jacobs gets Personal Statue in his honor!! Posted: 25 Oct 2013 07:56 AM PDT  Achieving legendary eminence never comes on a silver platter but that is what one of Nollywood's icons has become. Olu Jacobs, often times referred to as the granddad of Nollywood has achieved great feats in the industry beyond standards he probably set for himself. From the old days of the mid 90's when he acted together with Omotola Jalade and Emeka Ike in "Day Break", to some of his most current movies, the style and class he brings into his roles is second to none; from the trademark roaring voice when he is angry and intent on creating mischief especially when he gets offended or his child goes contrary to his commands, to the sweet and fatherly affection he displays when pleased, Olu has remained the same person and kept true to his core acting values that has made him beloved by many. In the years that have past, some of his age mates who were legends in their own rights that to great Nollywood achievements including the likes of Sam Loco, Enebeli Elebuwa, Pete Eneh, and Justus Esiri, have all passed on. So it is worth at least recognizing his great feat over the years and bestowing on him an award deserving of his status. Even before that happens however, the legend has already received a sculpted statue of himself and Olu can certainly take pride of this because he deserves it.  | |

| INCREDIBLE!! Michael Jackson Named World’s Richest Dead Celebrity!! Posted: 25 Oct 2013 06:48 AM PDT  Michael Jackson has topped the list of the highest earning dead celebrities. This is the third time in the past five years that the top-earning celebrity in the world has come from the graveyard. After being pushed into second place by Elizabeth Taylor last year, Jackson, who died in 2009, was back on top with estimated earnings of $160 million in the 12 months from October 2012 to 2013. "He earned the bulk of his bucks from two Cirque du Soleil shows, his Mijac Music catalog, recorded music sales and his half of the Sony/ATV publishing empire – which includes the copyright to hits by the Beatles, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Taylor Swift, among others," Forbes said. Presley was a distant second with $55 million, followed by Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip, who came in third for the second consecutive year with $37 million. Taylor dropped to fourth place with earnings of $25 million, a huge dip from last year when her estate pulled in an estimated $210 million with much of it from the auction of her jewels. Reggae star Bob Marley rounded out the top five with earnings of $18 million. The singer, who died of cancer at the age of 36 in 1981, has sold more than 75 million albums in the past two decades, according to Forbes. Nobel-prize winning physicist Albert Einstein, dropped one place to No. 8 this year with earnings of $10 million, while Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera, who died in a plane crash in December at the age of 43, was new to the list at No. 13 with $7 million. Forbes compiled the list by talking to estate managers, lawyers and licensors and analyzing estimated posthumous earnings between October 2012-2013. [Reuters]  | |
