Madonna Sells Leger Painting For $US7 Million To Raise Money For Girls' Education Charity.

A French painting owned by Madonna has sold at a New York City auction for more than $7 million ($6.9 million).

Sotheby's auction house hasn't said who bought Fernand Leger's Three Women at the Red Table for $US7.2 million yesterday. The abstract work had a pre-sale estimate of $US5 million to $US7 million.
Proceeds of the sale will benefit the Ray of Light Foundation, which supports girls' education in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries.

Madonna says she wanted to "trade something valuable for something invaluable" in countries where female education is rare or nonexistent. She bought the work at Sotheby's in 1990 for $US3.4 million.

Leger created the work in 1921 as part of a series depicting women with still-life compositions.

Pink Blasts Fans For Questioning Sickness.

"I am a human being, therefore I am able to catch illness," pop star explains after show cancellation.

After drawing heat for canceling a concert in Birmingham, England, because she was sick, Pink addressed the complaints in a fiery open letter encouraging critics to "Kindly kiss my entire almost back to healthy ass."

"I sincerely apologize, AGAIN, for any inconvenience this may have caused you," she wrote.

Blackberry R10 Leak Shows Specs.

This leak comes from the Chinese gadget blog DGtle and it shows a somewhat traditional BlackBerry form factor: a screen and a full physical keyboard. The report suggests that the BlackBerry R10 will sport a 3.1-inch, 720p HD screen, a 5-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and a 1800mAh battery.

The BlackBerry R10 is also expected to be released in the late summer or early fall. BlackBerry is holding its annual conference later this month and that could be a natural time to announce the device, the full specs, its release date and pricing.

The BlackBerry R10 should run the latest BlackBerry 10 software and this is the company's modern attempt at mobile computing. It's actually quite a nice experience because it's robust, built from the ground up with touch in mind and it still places a strong emphasis on messaging in all manners.

On the down side, I still think that the app ecosystem could use some help. I also believe that there are still a lot of elements that need to be improved. BlackBerry 10 is a great 1.0 platform but it's still a 1.0 -- BlackBerry can and will evolve much of its software to deliver a better user experience. ...

Parents Rejects 400-level Son’s Corpse From Police.

The body of a 400-level student of Business Administration Department of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Seyi Fasere, who was allegedly killed by the police in Oye Ekiti has been rejected by the deceased’s parents. The 28-year-old undergraduate was allegedly killed by the police and labelled an armed robber.

Parents of the deceased, Mr. Joseph and Florence Fasere with their family lawyer said the body of their son was rejected because the police being killers of the young man should not be the investigator of the case but a judicial panel of inquiry instituted by the state government.

The family insisted that Seyi was not an armed robber but a victim of police’s extra-judicial killing. They said the police has equally tarnished the family name by calling its son an armed robber.
