Photos: Nigerian woman amongst rescued immigrants gives birth on one of the boats...




Over the weekend and on Monday, about 7,000 illegal immigrants were rescued from overcrowded boats crossing the Mediterranean into Italy. One of the migrants was a pregnant Nigerian woman. The woman went into labour while being rescued from a boat and gave birth to a baby girl. The baby has been named Francesca Marina as a tribute to the Italian Navy (Marina Militare). 

Crew from the Italian navy ship Bettica found the Nigerian woman in labour on a boat – one of 34 vessels intercepted over the weekend. This photo above (left) released by the Italian navy shows the baby girl sleeping in a makeshift cradle decorated with a pink bow.

  
Numbers risking the journey in search of a better life have continued to rise two weeks after as many as 900 people drowned in the worst Mediterranean shipwreck in living memory...

0505-manny-doc-launch-tmz
Manny Pacquiao and his fight promoters have been hit with a class action lawsuit by people who claim he screwed fans, Pay-per-view buyers and gamblers out of serious money by not disclosing his shoulder injury before the Mayweather fight. 
TMZ Sports has obtained the lawsuit filed in federal court in Nevada ... in which Stephane Vanel and Kami Rahbaran are suing on behalf of a class that feel cheated. 
In the suit,  Vanel and Rahbaran claim they are fighting "on behalf of all persons who purchased tickets; purchased the pay-per-view event; or who wagered money on the event."
The plaintiffs are suing Pacquiao, Bob Arum, Top Rank Boxing and others for consumer fraud -- and they're demanding at least $5 MILLION in damages....

Chris Brown Bball Battery Case Closed ... Just Like That...


0505-chris-brown-tmz-01In the blink of an eye, Chris Brown is no longer wanted for battery. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the guy who accused Brown of punching him early Monday morning during a basketball game in Vegas called the cops on Tuesday and told them he wanted to drop the case. He did not explain why. 
At that point it was a no-brainer ... cops closed the case. 
Brown just settled a lawsuit over a previous fight during a pickup basketball game at an L.A. gym....

Tyga Blows Off Campus Ban ... If You Hire Me, Kylie's Coming Too...


EXCLUSIVE
0505-kylie-jenner-backstage-instagram-3Tyga refuses to let anyone tell him where he can bring his underage GF, Kylie Jenner ... so he ignored a college's request to keep her off campus during his concert ... TMZ has learned.  
Tyga performed at Cal State Fullerton's Spring Concert this past Saturday, and according to our sources ... concert organizers told him he should NOT bring 17-year-old Kylie to the show.
We're told not only did the university find their relationship questionable, but the show was 18 and older. Tyga must have known he had the school by the balls -- they couldn't afford to bring in another act at the last minute -- because he went ahead and brought her anyway.
While he was performing ... she was chilling at a table full of chicken wings and other appetizers -- which we're told Tyga suddenly demanded when he arrived ... an hour late.
Organizers didn't want to risk him bailing completely ...so, we're told they just let it go.
Kylie's presence didn't go unnoticed by the students, with one tweeting, "CSUF said guests must be 18 or over to enter spring concert but Tyga brought Kylie as his guest."
As we reported ... Tyga ran into the same situation during a gig in November, but opted to boycott the club. The couple put their age issues aside Monday as they flew out of LAX -- airlines don't care if he travels with a minor...

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar..


0505-floyd-josie-tmz-instagram-02

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass.
Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident.....

I RESTRAINED HERYahoo NEWS

Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail.
Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating.
Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale.  
Her lawyer, Dan Friedlander, writes in the lawsuit -- Floyd's lies to Couric "were knowingly fabricated in order to hype Mayweather's upcoming fight with Pacquiao, to avoid bad press by deflecting responsibility for beating the mother of his children."
Harris wants in excess of $20 million.....

Diddy explains how making love with Cassie inspired his racy 3AM ad...




Diddy's new racy fragrance ad has been described as too hot for TV because it features a love making session between him and girlfriend Cassie. Explaining why he chose Cassie to do the commercial with him, Diddy told Ellen DeGeneres that he chose her instead of a random model because of his affection for her and their lovemaking is natural
"My girlfriend, she's a model and a recording artist. And I had casted someone for the commercial and the commercial has these intense-type of love scenes. When I saw who I casted for the commercial, it wasn't as natural as it would be if it was somebody that I really had an affection for and also someone I had made love to before. So, basically, a light goes off in my head. It's two hours before the commercial. I said 'I need to call my girlfriend, she needs to be in this commercial. She's a model, one of the most beautiful women in the world'. So I called her" He said...

Photo: Thief who steals car parts with a Hummer 2 SUV caught...




Strange story a LIB reader sent to me. Apparently a guy drove Hummer 2 SUV into Harmony Estate, Ifako, Gbagada, Lagos this morning to steal brain box, window controls of cars. Story below..
From the estate security, for the past 2 years, residents who park their cars...usually Toyotas come back from work to discover their brain boxes, power window controls, sometimes head lights, gone. Though not often, maybe once in 3/4 months. But its always more than 4 cars. The security guys said they notice that complaints are made usually on days this Hummer jeep visits the estate. 

So this morning around 7, you know workers in Lagos would have gone to work and those without fuel would leave the cars - the hummer jeep came in and the security guys started tailing just to know where this guy normally visits. Obviously when they saw where he parked, they were OK only for them to see him on another street later The guy parked on the last street in the estate then trekked back to the upper streets to rob. After getting a little beating, the police was called. Our police are still barbaric. Used gun butt on the guys head, chained his hands tightly to the back with chain and padlock and gave him additional beating before driving his hummer away..

G-Unit member's girlfriend claims he beat her, releases photos of her battered face..




Beauty queen (Miss Globe Jamaica 2014) and video vixen Maurita Robinson yesterday released photos of her battered, bloody face on instagram and accused her boyfriend, G-Unit rapper Kidd Kidd of beating her in Las Vegas this weekend. Kidd is friends with 50cent. Below is what she wrote;
I decided to speak up today because i finally built the courage to walk away from domestic violence. somebody who is violent and not in control of there emotions is not at all your problem and you are not there as punching bag for whatever crises that he may be going through, which im guily in i made excuses for many months hiding behind the pain trying to be a goid woman and continue to "hold it  down" as hundreds of women probably have done or maybe still going through.  My eyes opened last night when nearly lost my life in our vegas hotel room last night being strangled to death nearly not breathing while im being chocked looking straight at the man i loved unconditionally for 7 moths straight whilst he strangling me. Yes he did it before but i and yes i was stupid in thinking because i didnt loose my breathe i took it as its just a mistake i no he loves me
il forgive him and try and help him be there for him in whatever he is going through.....no! Its so easy to get caught up in giving chances because you want to save "love" and try to be as forgiving as god said we should and u dont wana "give up" believing in the person you love. But last night i decided to say NO enough is enough what if he had taken my life... Over what? A lil argument? Stitches in my split lip, a hole going through my mouth and then now What argument is worth being strangled to death. None! So please Learn from me i have finally found the stregth to leave and share my stregth with whoever else may need that little bit of empowerment and encouragement. I hold my head high and i thank god for giving me the streght and opening my eyes last night that i have more of a purpose on this earth than to allow a man to have my life in his hands whilst he has my love and support through thick and thin no body deserves to be held down like that. Its my time to move on and be free. No body understands what its like to take that and be quiet for so long untill it happens to them. And me too i now understand. Im ready to continue being the happy bruise free, stitches free, motivated, excited about life person that i have always been! #NoMorePain x...
