UPDATE: Chelsea Football Club’s Official Statement on the Sack of Coach Jose Mourinho
Since winning the title, Mourinho has suffered a turbulent campaign amid reports of unrest in the Chelsea dressing room. Following the side’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on Monday evening, the Portuguese coach has finally left the club.
52-year-old Portuguese tactician, Jose Mourinho, who guided the Chelsea team to the Premier League title last term, has left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent after the club deemed results “not good enough this season.”
The former Real Madrid manager who was rewarded for last season’s success with a new 4-year contract worth £30 million, which was signed in August, ends his second stint at the London club with the team languishing in 16th place in the table, registering just 15 points from 16 games.
A statement from Chelsea Football Club read
“Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent.
All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013.
His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history. But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways.
The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge.
The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential.
There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made.”

Amazing! Man Born Without Arms Becomes Professional Tattoo Artist (Photos+Video)
A man who was born without hands, has redefined the limits that disability can confer on anyone by becoming a renowned tattoo artist.
Brian Tagalog tattoing a client
A 27-year-old man, Brian Tagalog was born without arms, but the inspiring thing is that he has never let this serious adversity keep him from leading a normal life. He learned to use his feet to perform mundane tasks, drive a car, fly planes and even ink intricate tattoo designs. The ambitious young man believes he is the only certified tattoo artist without arms in the world.
According to Oddity Central, Tatalog is a native of Honolulu, Hawaii. He moved with his family to Tucson, Arizona, where he attended Sunnyside High School and the University of Arizona. He had always shown an interest in drawing, and set his mind on becoming a professional tattoo artist. Not many people gave him a chance, but he steadily honed his foot drawing skills, and after his aunt helped him buy his first tattoo gun, he learned to operate it with his toes just as well as others did with their hands.
Angie Tagalog, Brian’s mother, admits that raising him was not easy, but she always made it a point to let him explore his options.
She recalled that: “The day I gave birth to him, well, I freaked out,” she recalled. “The first year I would cry almost every day. I still do every now and then. But we never hid him. He wore a tank top when he was a newborn. I didn’t shield him in any way.”
And perhaps that’s what gave him the confidence to achieve everything he’s ever wanted, despite the very obvious absence of two limbs.
“I was born without arms,” he said. “But that has not slowed me down,” Brian said.
Brian became a certified tattoo artist 11 years ago, but actually finding a shop that would hire him proved a much more difficult task. He applied to a number of local tattoo shops, but all he got was promises that they’d give him a call when a position opened up. He never got any calls back, but instead of giving up, Tagalog just decided he would have to become his own boss in order to practice his craft. Now Brian runs “Tattoo by Foot” his very own shop, where he actually tattoos clients by foot.
Brian uses a specific technique to create his tattoos – he draws the design with his right foot, puts it on tracing paper and onto the client’s skin with one foot, while using the other foot to stretch out the skin. He then uses both feet to guide the tattoo gun, creating the design. His tattoos always turn out to his clients’ satisfaction, every single time.
Brian hopes that his success will inspire others to follow their dreams no matter how hard they may be to achieve.
He said: “Go for it, and never give up. Anything is possible for everyone.”
Words and photos just don’t do Brian Tagalog justice. You need to see him in action to really see what his capable of doing with only his feet. So check out the video below, it will leave you in awe:

Earlier in the year, Wizkid has headlined special editions of Industry Nite in Dubai and Houston.
Is Olamide Stealing DBanj’s Songs?
This is strange. Punch’s Chux Ohai writes on the controversy surrounding four current Nigerian songs.
Whenever there is a case of music copyright infringement, it is usually between a recording artiste on one hand and an individual or organisation, on the other. In most cases, the artiste would be the one accusing the other party – most likely to be a records pirate – of stealing his intellectual property.
But a music producer, Divine Austins, aka Deevee, who is also the official producer for D’banj, changed the norm when he took to Twitter a few days ago to accuse popular rapper, Olamide, of stealing ideas for new songs from his boss.
In three tweets, Deevee claimed that Olamide had been stealing concepts from D’banj’s recording outlet, DB Records, each time he visited the place in the past.
Addressing Olamide directly, he said, “With due respect, have you run out of ideas? Every time you come to our zones, you always got to steal some idea. I won’t let this fly.”
The producer went on to provide a link to ‘Shake it’, a song by D’banj, which is one of the reasons for the outburst on the social media network. The other song believed to have been lifted off an original idea by D’banj and his team is Olamide’s ‘Don’t Stop’.
Then, as if sensing that his action might annoy his boss, he apologised to D’banj, tweeting, “I am very sorry boss. I mean no disrespect, but I have stayed silent for too long and I am ready to face the consequences for dropping the link.”
Olamide, who has just been named the Hottest Nigerian Artiste in 2015 by MTV Base, is yet to respond to the allegations and efforts made by to get his reaction through his manager, Alexander, failed to yield positive results.
Also, two songs recently released by Five Star Music and the star-studded Mavin Records, titled ‘Ebeano’ and ‘Jantamanta’, respectively, are the subjects of a controversy currently raging in industry.
According to watchers, both songs are too similar in terms of the beats to be taken as coincidental. It is speculated that one of the two music companies must have copied or ‘stolen’ the original idea for the beat.
But investigation by our correspondent showed that the beat actually originated from the boss of Mavin Records, Don Jazzy, and it leaked to the wrong hands after he sent out snippets of it.
”If I’m pregnant, I don’t know what I would do!” -Kris Jenner
In last night’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode, Kris Jenner visited Kourtney Kardashian after she had lunch with her friends to discuss what her friends told her and if she (Kris) could still get pregnant at 60.
She told Kourtney:
“I just went to lunch…and I pulled out these tampons and they were all flabbergasted,”Kris then explained that she still gets her period because of her estrogen cream, however, one of Jenner’s lunch pals then asked if she was on birth control because she thinks there is a possibility she could get pregnant if her period has returned.
“Why in the world at 60 years old would I be on birth control?!” she asks. “And she said, ‘Because you can still get pregnant.'”
“I don’t think I could get pregnant,” Kris says. “If I am pregnant, I don’t know what I would do!”
“Just call your doctor,” Kourtney advises.Which Kris immediately did.
