PHOTOS: Guess who are reportedly dating, Bill Murray, 72, & Milkshake singer, Kelis, 43

Bill Murray is reportedly dating singer Kelis.
A photo of Murray, 72, and Kelis, 43, is adding credence to reports they are a couple. Kelis performed at the Might Hoopla Festival in South London last weekend and posed with Murray for a photo that was shared on NTS Radio's official Twitter page. 
They stood with Children of Zeus deejay and actor Konny Kon behind the scenes. 

According to the U.S. Sun, Murray was seen watching Kelis perform and has been seen at other performances of hers. The outlet reported the "Ghostbusters" star and "Milkshake" singer were seen together at the same hotel and "have been getting close for a while" after initially meeting in the U.S.

Kelis' second husband, Mike Mora, died at age 37 in March 2022 after a battle with cancer. 
The couple shared two children, Shepherd, 7, and her daughter Galilee, 2. The "Bossy" singer was previously married to Nas and shares a son, Knight, 13 with the rapper.  

Murray and ex-wife Jennifer Butler were married from 1997 to 2008, when they divorced amid accusations from Butler that Murray had sex and drug addictions. 
The couple shared four sons: Caleb, 30, Jackson, 27, Cooper, 26, and Lincoln, 19. 
The "Groundhog Day" star is also father to sons Homer, 41, and Luke, 38, with his first wife, Margaret Kelly.

The next Miss Universe pageant, to be held in El Salvador later this year, will be historic in many ways.
At the annual beauty contest's 72nd event, married women and mums will be allowed to participate for the first time. 
Announced last year, the rule change is one of the biggest shake-ups in the history of the long-running competition, which previously only allowed single women, aged between 18 and 28, who have never been married or had children.

While a date has not been set for the next pageant, where reigning Miss Universe R'Bonney Gabriel from the US will crown her successor, a number of countries have selected their representatives including pageant powerhouses Philippines and Venezuela.

Things you did not know about crocodiles!

The second largest reptile species in the world are the crocodiles.
Some crocodiles can reach six metres in length and live up to 100 years. 
Crocs do not eat much. They can fast for months. 
They can eat twice a week and no more than five kilos of chicken or beef each. 
Crocodiles, who are known for having small brains, are lazy to the point that, if they are not hungry, they are unlikely to spend energy moving. 
The Nile crocodile has a total bite force of 1,600 kg/cm2, compared to the shark's 300 kg/cm2 bite force and the human's 60 kg/cm2. 
The eggs, which the females bury in the sand, need a temperature of around 30 degrees, as the temperature determines the crocodile's gender during the first 15 days of the incubation period. 
For the Nile crocodile, a temperature of 28 to 30°C or 33 to 34°C helps produce females and a temperature of 30 to 33°C is likely to produce males.

PHOTOS: Tina Turner was already 'ready to go' in 2019!

Tina Turner's final public appearance was one to remember.
The iconic singer, who died on Wednesday at age 83, last stepped out in public in November 2019 to attend the opening of the Broadway bio-musical, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York City. "This musical is my life, but it's like poison that turned into medicine," the singer told the crowd, which included stars like Oprah Winfrey and Tiffany Haddish, during her surprise curtain call appearance. 
"I can never be as happy as I am now." She also praised the musical's star, Adrienne Warren, saying, "Thank God for her." 

Tina Turner's husband gave her one of his kidneys so that she could live longer. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Turner rose to fame as the raspy-voiced singer in a musical duo with her husband Ike - spawning hits like 'Nutbush City Limits' (named after the town where Turner was born) and 'River Deep, Mountain High'. In 1978, Turner divorced her husband, having suffered at the hands of his physical and sexual abuse during their tumultuous marriage - and the extent of this abuse was widely unknown until Turner released her 1986 memoir I, Tina and subsequent 1993 biopic What's Love Got To Do With It starring Angela Bassett. Both Bassett and Lawrence Fishburne (who portrayed Ike) were nominated for Academy Awards. 

After leaving Ike, Turner did not own the rights to any of her music, which meant she had to grow her solo career from the ground up. Her early 80s comeback resulted in her track 'What's Love Got to Do with It' giving Turner her first and only Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, selling over two million copies worldwide. 
Aged 44 at the time, Turner became the oldest solo female artist to top the Hot 100. 
The song received three awards at the 1985 Grammy Awards - Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. 

After enduring years of abuse, Turner had reclaimed her life and career, becoming a certified Rock 'n' Roll legend and an inspiration to abuse survivors everywhere. Turner - who spent the last years of her life in Switzerland - went on to marry German music executive Erwin Bach in 2013, however, she suffered a stroke shortly after their wedding. 
Then, in 2016, Turner was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and, after experiencing uncomfortable side effects from her initial treatment, she turned to homeopathic remedies. 
Sadly, these worsened her condition and led her to have total kidney failure. 

In 2017, Bach successfully donated one of his kidneys to Turner. In 2020's Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good, Turner praised her husband for his donation. "I'm happy to say that, thanks to my beloved husband, Erwin, giving me one of his kidneys, the gift of life, I'm in good health and loving life every day. 
"I'm also thankful that I've not only survived but thrived so that I can pass on to you this book containing precious gifts that were given to me - the greatest gifts I can offer," she said, per People.

Oprah Winfrey Says Tina Turner Told Her She Was 'Ready to Go' in 2019. 
While on Thursday's episode of CBS Mornings, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, who were on the show from Italy, recalled learning the news of Turner's passing. Winfrey added, "It was a blow, it was a blow. I was certainly aware that she was ill but I had seen her in 2019 and gone to visit her in the hospital and she had said to me then that she was actually ready to go, meaning, ready to leave the planet. I expected then that was going to be the last time that I saw her.”

Turner's rep confirmed the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll's death on Wednesday, revealing that she died peacefully after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. 

Turner's verified Instagram account also posted a statement confirming the tragic news. 
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow," the statement read. "Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly."

The 'Queen of Rock 'n' Roll' had two biological children (both dead). 
She had her first son, named Raymond Craig, with Kings of Rhythm saxophonist Raymond Hill. 
She had a second son with Ike Turner, named Ronnie, who played bass guitar in a band called Manufactured Funk with songwriter and musician Patrick Moten. 
She also adopted two of Ike Turner's sons and would raise his children as her own. 

Dolly Parton, Mick Jagger, Barack Obama, other celebs and the world, pay tribute to the legend. 

In December last year, Turner's son Ronnie died at the age of 62 from complications caused by colon cancer.
Ronnie's death came only four years after his older brother, Craig, killed himself in his Studio City home at the age of 59. Craig is pictured here with their mother.
Rest in perfect peace, beautiful legend, Tina Turner, love you and will miss you greatly!!!!

Photos: Mother drowns one of her daughters in their home & was trying to kill another child

A mother drowned one of her daughters in their South Carolina home and was trying to kill another child when the oldest daughter was awakened by screams and managed to save her sister, a sheriff said.
Jamie Bradley Brun, 37, was charged with murder and attempted murder after the attack early Friday in their home on St. Helena Island, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said at a news conference. 
Brun has talked to investigators and Tanner called it a horrific crime but told reporters he wouldn't say why Brun wanted to kill her children. 
“I’m not a mental health expert. It’s not my job to determine if someone has a mental health problem," the sheriff said. 
Brun's 16-year-old daughter was asleep around 1:30am Friday when her 8-year-old sister's screams woke her up. 

The sheriff wouldn’t detail how the mother was trying to drown her child, but said the girl's cries were coming from the bathroom. The teen went into the bathroom and managed to wrest her sister away from her mother and run to a nearby family member's house to call 911, Tanner said. “I’m very proud of her. I think she did an unbelievable job. 
She defended her family when no one else was available,” Tanner said. "Her courage is amazing.” 

Deputies arrived eight minutes later and found Brun and her 6-year-old daughter, who was later pronounced dead at the hospital after CPR by officers and paramedics could not revive her, investigators said. 
Brun tried to grab a deputy's gun as she was arrested and officers shocked her with a Taser to take her into custody, Tanner said. Brun was being held without bond. 
Jail and court records didn't indicate if she had a lawyer. 
The 8-year-old did not appear to be seriously injured, and the sheriff said she and her teen sister are being cared for by other family members. 
Brun had no arrest record in South Carolina and authorities had been called to the house only once about two years ago after a school employee was concerned about the mental health of one of the children, Tanner said. 
"There is a lot more information that we have and a lot more details that we know but at this point we can’t share," Tanner said.
