A serious case of Erykah Badu vs Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Muslim-majority Malaysia banned a planned concert by Erykah Badu Tuesday, after a photo appeared showing the Grammy-winning singer with the Arabic word “Allah” written on her body.

The American R&B singer was scheduled to perform Wednesday in Kuala Lumpur, but some Muslim groups said Badu was an unsuitable role model for young Malaysians after seeing a publicity photo of her with what appeared to be temporary tattoos of the word Allah on her bare shoulders.

A government committee that includes police and Islamic policy officials decided to forbid Badu’s show because the body art was “an insult to Islam and a very serious offense,” Information Minister Rais Yatim said in a statement.

The photo of Badu had, the statement added, “triggered public criticism that could jeopardize national security and cause a negative impact to the government’s image.”

The 41-year-old, Dallas-born singer had already arrived in Malaysia. She can stay as a tourist but will not be allowed to perform, an Information Ministry official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make public statements.

Razman Razali, managing director of the show’s Malaysian organizer, Pineapple Concerts, said his company hopes the ban will be reversed.

Badu is “worried and dismayed,” Razman told AP. She was slated to perform in an auditorium that can hold about 3,000 spectators.

It was the first concert by a Western performer to be banned in Malaysia. Several other stars, including Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne, were asked to dress modestly while performing.

The photograph of Badu, which also appears on her official fan website, attracted attention after Malaysia’s most widely read English-language daily, The Star, published it Monday.

The newspaper apologized to Muslims Tuesday for what it called an “oversight,” saying it deeply regretted any offense sparked by the photo, which was “inadvertently published.” The Home Ministry summoned The Star’s editors to explain the photo, which caused some Muslim activists to demand the daily’s suspension.

Bravery of young mother who stayed by her horse's side for THREE HOURS after getting trapped in mud 'like quicksand'.

This was the terrifying moment a brave young mother battled to keep her beloved horse calm as sea water closed in on the animal after he became trapped in mud 'like quicksand'.

Exhausted and mud-splattered, Nicole Graham clung to her trapped horse Astro for three hours keeping his head high in a race against the tide.

The 78-stone show horse had sunk into quagmire-like mud and was facing the prospect of drowning as the water rose around them.

Desperation: Nicole Graham comforts her 18-year-old show horse Astro after he gets stuck in coastal mud

Swallowed up: Astro was stuck fast and Miss Graham's efforts to pull him free only resulted in herself sinking deeper into the quagmire

Miss Graham had been out on an afternoon ride with her daughter along the coast near Geelong, south of Melbourne, when 18-year-old Astro suddenly sank into the mud.

Before she could shout a warning, the smaller horse her daughter Paris was riding was also partially swallowed up by the mud.

 

After dragging herself through the mire, Miss Graham helped her daughter and the other horse on to firmer ground.

However, Astro was stuck fast and her efforts to pull him free only resulted in herself sinking deeper into the quagmire.

Emotional: Miss Graham said it was heartbreaking to see her horse so exhausted and struggling

As Paris ran to their car and phoned for help, Miss Graham stayed at her horse’s side. She courageously clung on to his neck, terrified that he would not be freed before the tide came in.

After three 'terrifying' hours, rescuers managed to pull Astro and Miss Graham from the mud.

Miss Graham, who owns more than 10 horses and runs an equine dentistry business, told the Geelong Advertiser how a peaceful afternoon's ride had turned to terror.

She said: ‘It was terrifying. It was also heartbreaking to see my horse exhausted and struggling.

‘We went straight down and under. There was mud everywhere and every time I moved it sucked me back down. It wouldn’t let us go.'

After ensuring her daughter and her horse were safe, she returned to Astro and prayed that rescuers would arrive before the tide engulfed the horse.

She added: ‘I’ve been riding here for 20 years and never had a drama. I’ve never seen any signs and didn’t realise it was so boggy.

‘When I saw the dust from the rescue trucks I was so relieved. I was starting to get overwhelmed.’ 

Fire lieutenant Roger Buckle, who was among a team of helpers, said: ‘It was like a quicksand.’

Fire crews worked with a local farmer, who provided a tractor, and a veterinary team. The firemen used hoses and a winch, but none of this equipment was successful.

Saved: Vet Stacey Sullivan helps Astro to his feet as the effects of the sedation wear off

A local helicopter was put on standby as a last resort at pulling Astro from the mud.

The combined rescue effort paid off. With minutes to spare before the water reached him, Astro - who had been sedated by vet Stacey Sullivan - was dragged from the mud with the aid of the farmer’s tractor.

‘It was a race against the tide and fortunately we won,’ said Lieut Buckle, who praised everyone efforts, including those of Miss Sullivan whose work in sedating Astro made it easier to pull him free.

Miss Sullivan said Astro was dehydrated but had coped well.

‘A lot of horses don’t make it and I think without the owner there the chance of survival would have been a lot lower,’ she said.

Amazing wealth of Governor James Ibori.

See more pictures below.

The Daily Mail of London exposes the massive wealth of former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, who pleaded guilty to a 10-count charge of money laundering and conspiracy yesterday before a Southwark Crown Court in London.

His rise from DIY store worker to international playboy with a £250 million fortune is the stuff of dreams.

A few years after quitting his £5,000-a-year job as a cashier for Wickes, James Ibori had become one of Nigeria’s most influential and richest politicians.

He wasted no time spending his new-found wealth on luxury homes, top-of-the-range cars, five-star travel and fees at exclusive boarding schools.

But yesterday the 49-year-old stood shame-faced in the dock of London’s Southwark Court as he admitted stealing tens of millions of pounds from the oil-rich state he governed in Nigeria. Scotland Yard detectives believe his fraud could exceed £250million.

He was on trial in the UK because much of the stolen money was laundered through his London office.

Ibori moved from Nigeria to West London in the late 1980s and was found guilty of stealing goods from the Wickes store he worked at in Ruislip in 1990.

A year later he was convicted of handling a stolen credit card. He moved back to Nigeria and worked for its president, Sani Abacha, as a policy consultant.

Rising quickly through the ranks of the ruling People’s Democratic Party, he was voted governor of Delta State in 1999, winning re-election four years later.

In power, he systematically stole from the public purse, taking kickbacks and transferring state funds to his own bank accounts around the world.

He was helped by family members, including his wife Theresa, sister Christine Ibori-Ibie, his mistress Udoamaka Oniugbo, and Mayfair lawyer Bhadresh Gohil.

A massive police investigation into Ibori’s activities revealed he had bought six properties in London, including a six-bedroom house with indoor pool in Hampstead for £2.2million and a flat opposite the nearby Abbey Road recording studios.

There was also a property in Dorset, a £3.2million mansion in South Africa and further real estate in Nigeria.

He owned a fleet of armoured Range Rovers costing £600,000 and a £120,000 Bentley. On one of his trips to London he bought a Mercedes Maybach for more than £300,000 at a dealer on Park Lane and immediately shipped it to South Africa.

He bought a private jet for £12 million, spent £126,000 a month on his credit cards and ran up a £15,000 bill for a two-day stay at the Lanesborough hotel in London.

Prosecutor Sasha Wass told the court Ibori concealed his UK criminal record, which would have excluded him from office in Nigeria.

“He was never the legitimate governor and there was effectively a thief in government house,” Miss Wass said. “As the pretender of that public office, he was able to plunder Delta State’s wealth and hand out patronage.”

The court heard Ibori abused his position to award contracts to his associates including his sister and his mistress.

Scotland Yard began its investigation into Ibori after officers found two computer hard drives in his London office that revealed his criminality.

He was arrested by the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in December 2007, but two years later a court in his home town, Asaba, dismissed the charges saying there was not enough evidence.

When the case was reopened by Nigerian authorities in April 2010, Ibori fled to Dubai where he was detained at the request of the Metropolitan Police and extradited to the UK last April.

In a packed courtroom Ibori, dressed in a dark grey suit and black shirt, appeared in the dock to enter ten guilty pleas to fraud, money laundering and conspiracy on what was due to be the first day of a 12-week trial.

His wife, his mistress and his sister were all jailed for five years each for money laundering offences following earlier trials.

Last March, Gohil, 46, and described as Ibori’s London-based lawyer, was jailed for seven years for his role in the scam.

Attempts will be made to confiscate as much of Ibori’s money and assets as possible so that they can be returned to Nigeria.

The Met’s Detective Inspector Paul Whatmore said: “It is always rewarding for anyone working on a proceeds of corruption case to know that the stolen funds they identify will eventually be returned to some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world.”

Ibori will be sentenced on April 16 and 17.

From stage to party...The stars who went from red carpet to ready-to-party... but which outfits worked best?

She looked a dream in cream for the Oscars earlier in the evening - but Cameron Diaz squeezed deliciously into orange to party at the Vanity Fair bash following last night.

The actress's Gucci gown, which boasted a simple basque with a dramatic train, seemed to show her minimal curves to great effect, but the Bad Teacher star truly dazzled in a Victoria Beckham design at the Sunset Tower Hotel. 

And she wasn't the only one who made a quick-change for the after-party, with Jennifer Lopez, Emma Stone and Irina Shayk among those who opted for a second gown to hob-nob late into the night.

Pop of colour: Cameron Diaz swapped her Gucci dress for a Victoria Beckham number at the Vanity Fair party

 

The 39-year-old star modelled the very bright dress on the red-carpet and found herself sharing a joke with tennis player Venus Williams as they both posed for the cameras.

Cameron accessorised the slinky gown with a simple snakeskin clutch and a pair of oversized diamond chandelier earrings.

She kept her make-up simple as she had before and her blonde crop stayed in it's chic blown out style.

Different dress, same cleavage: It seems Jennifer Lopez is a fan of the plunging neckline

Inside Cameron mingled with her fellow A-list friends, including Kate Hudson who looked simply ravishing in a red fringed and beaded gown which featured a daring plunging back.

She had earlier arrived on the arm of her fiance Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.

The two ladies cuddled up for a snap as Cameron appeared to be enjoying a glass of wine and Kate champagne.

Emma Stone wore a Giambattista Valli gown to the Oscars, but swapped it for sophisticated black Chanel

Hudson, who gave birth to her second child Bingham Hawn Bellamy just seven months ago, looked superslim in the stunning ensemble, not an ounce of baby weight visible on her frame.  

Cameron wasn't the only one to change up her outfit for last night's post-Oscars bash.

True Grit star Shailene Woodley also slipped out of her white, long-sleeved Valentino couture gown into a beaded long-sleeeved party dress with floral design.

Supermodel Irina Shayk wowed the crowd with her after-party gown.

The 26-year-old Russian model and girlfriend of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo showed off her sublime figure in a floor-length gold liquid gown.

The golden hue accentuated her deep tan and flaunted her best assets in all the right places.

Not too bothered about posing on the red-carpet was Kate Bosworth, who rather seemed more interested in cuddling up to her boyfriend Michael Polish

Not one to miss an opportunity: Irina Shayk didn't attend the Oscars but she changed anyway after attending the Elton John AIDS Foundation viewing Party

The couple only had eyes for each other as they entered the event.

And it's no wonder why, Kate looked elegant in a sheer black beaded dress paired with some chic Christian Louboutin stilettos, while Michael was dapper in his black tuxedo.

Cameron wasn't the only one that wore a Beckham design, the designer herself turned up to the event in floor-length strapless gown from her own collection that showed off her slender figure.

Strike a pose: Cameron and Jennifer Lopez do an identical over the shoulder pose at the awards ceremony

The 37-year-old star kept her usual serious face in tact as she arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in West Hollywood with her footballer husband David.

As the British couple posed for photographers before heading inside, they appeared to be in very different moods with David laughing as he followed his wife.

The stone-coloured garment was completed with a black leather waist belt and not much else.

Ravishing: Goldie Hawn looked ravishing in a red fringed and beaded gown

Party time: Cameron and Kate cuddled up inside the party and enjoyed some cocktails and champagne

The brunette even decided to keep her look minimalistic when it came to her accessories and wore just a large gem ring which she teamed with dark nail varnish.

She wore her hair up in a bun and kept her eye-make up smoky while her lips wore a hint of nude lipstick.

LA Galaxy star, David, looked just as smart yet kept it simple in a black Dior tux complete with a bow tie and a white shirt.

And for a moment, David even let his wife take centre stage and allowed her to be photographed in front of the hedge bearing the Vanity Fair logo all by herself.

The couple were closely followed by their famous friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

They too posed with their arms around each other, but this time both of them were smiling.
