Serena describes pregnancy news ‘accidental’

Serena Williams had no intention of sharing her pregnancy with the world last week.
But unintentionally spilled the beans when she accidentally uploaded the “20 weeks” photo of herself on Snapchat, the world number one said on Tuesday.
Williams, who was wearing a yellow swimsuit in the ‘selfie’, quickly deleted the post but later confirmed her pregnancy via her publicist after frenzied speculation.

She told the TED conference in Vancouver that the photo was intended only for her personal records.
“I have this thing where I’ve been checking my status and taking pictures every week to see how far along I’m getting,” the 35-year-old said in an on-stage chat with journalist Gayle King.
“I was just saving them (for myself)” said Williams. “I’ve been so good about it, but this was the one time it slipped.”
Williams said she had found out she was pregnant only two days before the Australian Open in January, which she went on to win for her 23rd grand slam title.
“It wasn’t very easy. You hear all these stories about people when they’re pregnant — they get sick, they get really tired, really stressed out,” she said.
“I had to really take all that energy and put it in a paper bag, so to say, and throw it away.
“Pregnant or not, no one knew and I was supposed to win that tournament. Every time I play, I’m expected to win.
“If I don’t win, it’s actually much bigger news.”
Williams, who is taking maternity leave for the rest of the 2017 season, said there was no change to her plan to return to the tour as a mother next year.
“I definitely plan on coming back. I’m not done yet,” said Williams, who credited her 36-year-old sister Venus, a seven-time grand slam champion, for inspiration.
“If she’s still playing, I know I can play.
“This (motherhood) is just a new part of my life. My baby’s going to be in the stands and hopefully cheering for me.”

Drake’s Latest Album “Scorpio” Breaks Records For Most Weeks At Number 1

Drake is number one! According to new reports, the rapper, Drake, just finished up his third week at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 with his latest release, Scorpio. The charting company released the news today, Sunday, July 29th. Billboard revealed that the album sold 184,000 copies in its latest week, and 15,000 of those were traditional CD sales. If Drake continues on his path, his album will spend an entire month at Number 1 on the Billboard 200. Drake has now broken the biggest record; he has spent more time in the number one spot than any other artist in recorded history. The last time an album did similarly well was his own record, Views, which came out in 2016. Moreover, that means that Drake has been in the top spot, in total, for 25 weeks. In other words, Drake has had an album at the number one spot for 25 weeks, including all of his past releases and their relevant charting history. As it was previously reported, Drake bumped Post-Malone out of the

What is Kubool and Other Anonymous Messaging Apps

Let’s talk about the truth. Let’s talk about feelings and secrets. One thing we know for sure is that they can hurt. Either when you’re giving or receiving them. Sometimes it’s hard to tell someone the truth. That’s where sites like Kubool come in. The possibility to anonymously tell someone what you really feel gives a sense of relief to the heavy chest. Let’s look at that and others you can use to take a load off. Kubool Kubool is a  free interactive anonymous messaging platform with a twist.  Once you create your ‘Profile Link’ you can send it to your friends and see what they can anonymously tell you what they think of you. There’s no way to find out who has sent you the message on Kubool. This app is an anonymous app, meaning that you will not get to know who is sending you messages. Neither can you find out if the message is true or not. It’s all up to how you take that message. Many sites and videos will bait you into believing you can. The only way is to hack the s

I Will Be Bigger Than Wizkid & Davido – Singer, L.A.X

L.A.X recently had an exclusive interview with Star Tracker. During the interview he made a bold claim that he would be bigger than Wizkid and Davido in the next one year. The interview started with questions about the singer’s current projects. He spoke about his forthcoming album and what to expect from the project, before going on to state his big target for the next 12 months. Read the excerpt of the interview below: What new projects are you working on at the moment? “Right now I’m working on my album. Last year I was working on it but I lost my hard drive on which I had close to 90 songs on. This happened early last year after I dropped ‘Run away’. I felt like there was a reason I lost those songs, so I focused on creating a new sound for myself. So when you hear my music now you will notice that the sound is different from what I had on ‘Caro’ or ‘Ginger’. It’s now a different vibe all together. I just felt like that is the direction God wants me to go.
