WTF?!?

A 25-year-old Lebanese man was arrested earlier this week at the O.R. Tambo International Airport in South Africa after attempting to smuggle $2.3 million worth of diamonds — in his stomach!

The conniving schemer was on his way to Dubai, but his trip was quickly halted as soon as he went through the security checkpoint's scanning system, where he was then taken into custody and forced to take several laxatives to rid himself of the 220 diamonds he swallowed.

We bet his poop shined bright like a diamond. Ha!

Bananas!

Italian powerhouses Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana are going ape shiz over a South African gift shop's name, Dolce & Banana.

Although we think the name is pretty darn clever, Dolce & Gabbana's holding company Gado didn't, and have hit the small business owner Mijou Beller with a lawsuit citing monkey business "objectionable conduct" causing "diluting" of the iconic brand.

Fearing further litigation, the owner has since changed the name of the shop to … & Banana.

Absolutely ridic!

What do you think about the lawsuit?!!!

Michelle Obama paid a visit with Nelson Mandela's wife Graca Machel to the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, South Africa, earlier today.

And for the special occasion, MObama wore a gorgeous coral Narciso Rodriguez silk shantung jacket and skirt.

We’re also loving her floral top.

Overall, a win for Mrs. Obama for looking both professional and stylish.

Seksi!

All eyes were on Candice Boucher at the Cannes premiere of Hearat Shulayim and we think it had something to do with what she was wearing.

We kid, we kid. That's exactly why people were picking their jaws up off the floor.

The South African model left little to the imagination in a Gavin Rajah gown with only appliques covering her lady bits.

We like it! Definitely a change of pace from all those fabric heavy gowns.
