The spoof advert suggests kittens may be involved in Katy Perry's half time show
It includes a glitter-filled stadium, unicorns, giant sharks breathing fire, kittens and the suggestion Perry could be wrapped in bacon.
Perry's performance will be the NFL's fourth consecutive show to include younger acts after previous performers Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, and The Who.
Paparazzi problems
Perry is currently on her Prismatic world tour in Australia.
On the Friday, the singer blasted Australian paparazzi, calling them "perverted and disgusting".
She tweeted: "Your paparazzi have no respect, no integrity, no character, no humanity."
"I was stalked by many grown men today as I tried to take a quiet walk to the beach. These men would not stop as I pleaded over and over to let me have my space.
"This is perverted and disgusting behaviour that should never be tolerated.

The singer then posted images of some of the photographers and singled out notorious Australian paparazzo Jamie Fawcett.





Boko Haram kills 48 Nigerian fishermen near Chad.


Boko Haram officially called Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'Awati Wal-Jihad, is a militant Islamist movement based in northeast Nigeria has been reported to have killed 48 Nigerian Fishermen today near Chad, a landlocked country in Central Africa.
Boko Haram has been stepping up its attacks

A fish traders' group said some victims had their throats slit whilst others were tied up and drowned in Lake Chad.
The attack took place on Thursday, but the news took several days to come to light because Boko Haram has destroyed mobile phone masts in the area.
It was the second major attack in two days by Boko Haram.
In Thursday's attack, the traders were on their way to Chad to buy fish when militants blocked their path near the village of Doron Baga, some 180km (112 miles) north of Maiduguri in Borno state.
Abubakar Gamandi, the head of the fish sellers' association, said the militants had used no guns.
"The attackers killed their victims silently without the use of the gun to avoid attracting attention from the multi-national troops," he told AFP news agency.
Troops from Nigeria, Chad and Niger have been deployed to the area and have a base at Doron Baga, but the military task force has had little impact, says the BBC's Will Ross in Lagos.
On Wednesday, Boko Haram gunmen attacked the village of Azaya Kura, also in Borno state, killing at least 45 people.
In this attack too, victims' hands were tied behind their backs and their throats were slit. The attack was apparently aimed at punishing the community after four insurgents were pointed out to soldiers and were shot dead.Boko Haram has been waging an insurgency in Nigeria since 2009.
It has stepped up attacks against civilian targets since the Nigerian military launched an offensive against the group last year.

Cleveland police shoot dead 12-year-old boy holding fake 'airsoft' gun.


A 12-year-old boy who was shot twice by police after grabbing what turned out to be a replica gun died from his wounds on Sunday, a day after officers responded to a 911 call about someone waving a “probably fake” gun at a playground.

An investigation is now under way into the shooting of Tamir Rice

 Deputy police chief Ed Tomba said one officer fired twice after the boy pulled the fake weapon – which was lacking an orange safety indicator usually found on the muzzle – from his waistband. Tomba said the boy had not pointed the gun at police. The boy did not make any verbal threats but grabbed the replica handgun after being told to raise his hands, Tomba said.

“That’s when the officer fired,” he said.

The Cuyahoga County medical examiner identified the boy as Tamir Rice. An attorney for his family, Timothy Kucharski, said the boy went to the park with friends on Saturday afternoon, but he did not know the details of what led to the shooting.
“I don’t want to make a rush to judgment,” he said.

The police department is investigating the shooting and both officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure. The county prosecutor’s office also is investigating.

Kucharski said he wanted to talk to witnesses and get more facts. “We’re ultimately going to find out what happened,” he said.

Police said the weapon was an “airsoft” type replica that resembled a semi-automatic handgun. The orange safety indicator had been removed, police said.

A man who called 911 told dispatchers the boy was on a swing set and pointing a pistol that was “probably fake” and scaring everyone. The caller said the boy was pulling the gun in and out of his trousers

“I don’t know if it’s real or not,” the caller said.

Jeff Follmer, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, said the officers were not told the caller thought the gun might be fake. The officer called to the playground outside a city recreation center saw the pistol sitting on a table or bench, and watched the boy grab it and put it in his waistband, Follmer said.

Cleveland police have been under increased scrutiny in the last few years. The US Justice Department has been conducting an investigation of its pursuit and use of force practices. Federal officials said in March 2013 their investigation would go beyond a high-profile car chase that ended with officers firing 137 shots and two deaths.


Last week, it was announced that relatives of the two people killed in the 2012 chase will split a $3m settlement from the city of Cleveland. The families filed a lawsuit after 43-year-old Timothy Russell and 30-year-old Malissa Williams were killed by police after a 20-mile pursuit that involved 62 police cruisers and more than 100 officers. Six police officers involved in the chase were indicted by a Cuyahoga County grand jury.


The department changed its pursuit policy after the chase, limiting when and how long patrol cars can chase suspects.

Kim Kardashian West would ‘support’ daughter to pose nude in future...


Speaking on Perth’s 92.9FM, Kim Kardashian West said:I would support anything she wants to do...


Guys, just wait until I have this baby, as soon as I get my body back and I feel good about myself, I’m going to do some naked shoot so just be ready.’   said Kim Kardashian West







Kim Kardashian West recently bared all for Paper magazine and found the shoot ‘empowering’, so wouldn’t have a problem if 17-month-old North – her child with husband Kanye West – wanted to follow in her footsteps in the future.
Speaking on Perth’s 92.9FM, she said: ‘I would support anything she wants to do. ‘I don’t do anything with the intention to promote anyone else doing it, that’s not even what I’m trying to do. I do it because I’m proud of it and it empowered me to feel good about myself after I had gained 500 pounds and looked like a huge slob for so long.’ The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star made the decision to pose nude after giving birth when she was pregnant and felt ‘the lowest’ she has ever been because of her changing body.
She said: ‘I had a really bad pregnancy and I gained a lot of weight and I did not feel good about myself. I felt probably the lowest I have ever felt in my life. ‘Just yesterday I saw a clip of me when I must have been about eight months pregnant – huge! ‘I said, ‘Guys, just wait until I have this baby, as soon as I get my body back and I feel good about myself, I’m going to do some naked shoot so just be ready.’ Meanwhile, the brunette beauty revealed her shiny appearance in the Paper images were a result of using a product from her own Kardashian Beauty collection.
