10 YEAR-OLD APPOINTED VIRGIN ATLANTIC MANAGER

A 10 year-old primary school pupil, has been appointed by giant British airline, Virgin Atlantic as its first Junior Approvals Manager for its refurbished Boeing 747plane.

Wonder how he pulled it? Billy Yeomans, a plane fanatic beat over 600 candidates who applied for the contest to find the next Sir Richard Branson. He impressed judges by creating his own plane cabin in his family home, collecting over 30 aeroplane safety cards and navigating his father on a flight to Switzerland.

Speaking on the discovery, Virgin Atlantic Founder, Sir Richard Branson, said, "As a child, I was mad about planes and the sense of adventure and excitement of being in the sky. We wanted to find someone who feels the same way as I still do about flying. Billy was the perfect young man for the job and he is going to be giving our newly refitted 747s the once over; watching films, eating our food and rating our wonderful cabin crew. Hopefully, he'll have great fun doing it too."

BEYONCE AND JAYZ LOSE RIGHT TO TRADE WITH THEIR BABY'S NAME

Celebrity couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z may have to re-consider their decision to launch their range of children's clothing and baby clothing using their daughter's name- Blue Ivy.

The name has reportedly been in use by Victoria Alexandra; a US-based wedding planner since 2009 and protected by the US Patent and Trademark Office.

"My company had been called Blue Ivy since 2009. I came up with the name, and if they had won my business could have been restricted, It was important for me to protect the name of my company. We are very successful as wedding planners and wanted to stay that way. Of course Blue Ivy is a lovely name, but I had to make sure that I would be able to continue using it for my business." She defended.

However, the 32 year-old businesswoman is ready to strike a huge deal with the power couple if they want her to stop trading under the moniker Blu Ivy. She also confirmed to have witnessed a tremendous growth in her business since the birth of the couple's child.lol

11 YEAR-OLD LOVE CHILD ALLEGATION: JIM IYKE CLEARS THE AIR

Some time ago, last week or so, there was this news linking Nollywood actor Jim Iyke and a certain Chantelle Nkechi Benson, a UK-based lawyer. An 11 year-old son is allegedly the product of the affair which they had as far back as when the former was an undergraduate.

The actor released a statement via his publicist, Mitch Ngaman to clear the air

"Jim Iyke is aware of the viral story currently making the headlines and wishes to state that this is not the first time that issues of this nature have arisen. Friends and fans who follow his activities closely will recall a number of occasions in the past when baseless claims of paternity and even marriage were made.

"Nonetheless, as a responsible man, he is always disposed to verify any such development(s) brought to his attention and when any satisfactory outcome has been ascertained, the general public will be duly informed without ambiguity. The only specifics at the present time is that at the age of 22yrs-23yrs old he dated for a brief period the lady at the center of the story who subsequently left Nigeria for the UK.

"There had been no contact between them ever since and by implication no linkling of the existence of a living product of that encounter. Since this is more about an innocent child than the star himself we advise caution and respect for privacy.''
