MISSING PERSON: Desperate search for flight attendant last seen at the airport

A desperate search is underway for a flight attendant who disappeared from an airport before she was set to leave on her next trip. Sierra Shields, 30, was set to take off from La Guardia Airport in New York on a Delta flight on Thursday, but vanished before she made it to the plane.

Her work supervisor said she came in and spoke to her earlier in the day, and suddenly quit without an explanation. Friends and family also said they had noticed something different about her in recent days 

Her father told Pix 11 that Shields spoke to older sister on the phone earlier in the week and thought something was off about her. Her father added that she didn't have any enemies and didn't have a boyfriend.

She was so concerned that she flew to the city to see her. But by the time she arrived Shields had gone missing.  

'Her roommates noticed that about her,' he said. 'They noticed some things had just changed in the last week with her as far as her personality and what was going on with her.'

'There are a lot of people that love her. I want to experience what they call "Sweet Sierra" again.'

Loved ones have set up a Facebook page, Find Sierra Shields, in a bid to track her down.

A post on the group reads: 'Please help find this beautiful young lady! She is a precious, bubbly, and happy person. 

'She lives her life by God's word and is such an amazing, helpful, and caring daughter, sister, and friend. 

'All of us who know her, love her very much! If anyone has any information, please contact the number in the picture or this page. Please share and pray for her and her family!'

30yr old man puts Morris Chestnut on blast on FB...claims he's his son

A 30 year old man who goes by the name Dante Chestnut, and has been claiming for years to be the son of actor Morris Chestnut, 47, took to his Facebook page over the weekend to blast the actor, calling him a deadbeat father. 

F*ck Ricky!!! @MorrisLamontChestnut!! F*ck you blood, on swan when I got shot in my hip and back all this simple MF had to say was "who shot you?" B*tch ass n*gga been lying and disappointing me my whole life so you got to excuse me while I vent.

This man was the only thing I knew from birth as my father growing up. I share my middle and last name with this man. His parents, brother and sister are my grandma and grandpa, aunt and uncle. All who I share a last name with. I lived with him and my mother all my life until after Boyz N The Hood came out."
"He took my mother to the premiere for Boyz N The Hood. Cuba Gooding Jr. used to come over to our 1 bedroom apartment in Northridge and watch the rough cut of the movie. Once he was "Ricky" and got his recognition, he stopped being my father! Started another life with a new wife and kids and I'm totally nonexistent. You know what it does mentally to grow up reaching out to your father and the only way you can see or hear your pops is in movies, TV, billboards, etc. In movies like "Like Mike" I was about 12 or 13, that was the last movie of his I seen in theaters because i that movie they needed a dad and he adopted them.
It made me feel like damn, things like this don't even make him think about the actual lil n*gga that you named and partially raised? Made me tear up in the theater. It has taken a huge mental and emotional toll on my whole life. N*gga, I was in Oklahoma with you when Grams died, and at her funeral, and she loved me unconditionally. She would probably roll over in her grave if she seen what you've become.
Even though you're a success and I'm one in the making, the difference is I'm a real ass n*gga at the end of the day. Realer than you will ever be because I can wake up and look in the mirror and know I'll never leave none of mine behind no matter the circumstances. So like I said, F*ck Ricky!"

POWERBALL WINNER:$188m Powerball winner Marie Holmes issued criminal summons for harassing bf's side chick

Marie Holmes, the North Carolina mom who won a $188 million Powerball lottery jackpot last year and has spent millions bailing her boyfriend out of jail, now has legal challenges of her own.
Holmes, 26, was served a criminal summons last week on charges of making threatening and harassing phone calls to a woman named Lorna Marlowe.

The phone calls allegedly occurred on Jan. 10, and Marlowe filed a complaint the same day.

Holmes, a former McDonald’s and big box employee, is set to appear in court in North Carolina’s Brunswick County on Feb. 12. A warrant could be issued for her arrest if she fails to appear at the hearing.

MyFox8 reports that the summons alleges “Holmes threatened to inflict bodily harm on Marlowe and repeatedly called her for the purpose of harassing her.”

After winning the lottery last year, Holmes has become almost a mainstay in the headlines thanks to her efforts to support her boyfriend, Lamarr McDow, the father of her youngest child. He recently spoke to The Daily Mail about Holmes and why she has no qualms with spending millions to bail him out of jail. McDow is an alleged heroin dealer who has been arrested on charges of illegal drug possession and illegal street racing.

IRAQ: Three Americans kidnapped in Baghdad

Three American soldiers and a translator have reportedly been kidnapped by militia in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. While their identities have not yet been confirmed, Iraqi independent news agency Akad News said a US serviceman and a translator are among those who were captured in the south of Baghdad.

The American Embassy in Baghdad confirmed that “several” US-citizens are missing. “We are working in full cooperation with Iraqi authorities to locate the missing Americans,” US Embassy spokesman Scott Bolz said.
The media reports are yet to be verified, but Arab news channel Al-Arabiya said the kidnapping has been confirmed by “well-informed sources.”

The US embassy in the Iraqi capital said it is aware of the reports but cannot comment as of yet.
US State Department spokesman John Kirby said that the US government has been informed of the reports of missing American citizens in Iraq and is “working with the full cooperation of the Iraqi authorities to locate and recover the individuals.”
“The safety and security of American citizens overseas is our highest priority,” Kirby added in his statement.
According to CNN correspondent Michael Holmes, citing a senior security official, three American contractors went missing in the Iraqi capital two days ago.

KEVIN HART AND ICE CUBE: RIDE ALONG 2 UNSEATS STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS IN BOX OFFICE...

The box office power of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” wore off this week as Universal Pictures’ “Ride Along 2” unseated the latest chapter in the space saga from the top spot it’s held for four weeks. The sequel to the 2014 buddy cop comedy hit starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube grossed an estimated $34 million in the U.S. and Canada this weekend.

This sets up the film to retain the first place spot through the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend to meet, if not exceed, its $40 million to $45 million in expected ticket sales through Monday.

“I think it starts with the filmmakers and the cast,” said Nick Carpou, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. “In sequels, audiences always play off of how much people like the characters the first time. As we’re trending to be No. 1 for the four-day holiday, our audience is wide and diverse.”

CHINA: 15-year-old girl beaten & stripped naked by a gang of young girls

A video making round on Chinese social media yesterday shows a 15-year-old girl being attacked by a gang made up of young girls in Lingao, Hainan Province, China. 

She was brutally beaten, kicked and stripped off her clothes. According to media reports, the incident has caught the attention of local police, and they’re conducting an investigation along with the crime and cyber police departments of Dongying town, Lingao county.

Responding to the influx of juvenile violence, Yang Xine, procurator-general of the juvenile court of Haidian District, Beijing, said the behavior is partly to be blamed on games, books and television shows that provoke such violent acts.

Over the past few years, China has seen a surge in school violence. According to a survey by China Youth Research Center in 2015, out of the 5,864 respondents in 10 provinces, 32.5% said that they had been bullied while 6.1% said that they were often bullied by their seniors.

NIGERIA: RE: Jonathan ran CBN like Idi-Amin – Soludo

Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Charles Soludo, has said former President Goodluck Jonathan ran the apex bank like the former Uganda dictator, Idi-Amin. Speaking in an interview in the current Business Edition of The Interview, Soludo described the recent revelations from the arms deal scandal as startling. He said the Central bank under the last administration was “the ATM of the Presidency,”.

“Imagine a scenario where a president can order the CBN to create an intervention fund for national stability and CBN literally ‘prints’ say, N3 trillion, and doles it out cash to the Presidency to prosecute an election campaign or for just about anything he fancies. It is a scary thought. We are going down a dangerous path that ruins the economy
