OJ Simpson could be released as early as October after 9 years in prison

According to Sports Illustrated, former baseball legend and accused murderer OJ Simpson will likely be released from prison this summer – on parole. On December 5, 2008, Simpson was sentenced to a total of 33 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after about nine years, in 2017 for armed robbery and kidnapping. Below is what they SI wrote; The decision to grant parole is, by definition, discretionary. But it is a decision that Thomas Patton, a former chairman of the parole board in Nevada, stresses is conducted through a “very comprehensive review,” weighing 11 largely objective factors. Between -1 and +2 points are allocated for each criterion. Inmates exceeding five points are classified as a “medium” or “high” risk and are unlikely to be granted parole. Score fewer than five points, and odds swing the other way. In 2013, Simpson scored three points, falling into the “low risk” category. He seems likely to do well again in 2017. Here are the 11 factors SI.com says will

I've been with Vanilla (a volkswagen Beetle) for 30 years now. I still get the temptation to pull over the side of the road if I see a really cute car parked.

Mario Gotze, the striker who scored Germany's winning goal in the 2014 FIFA World cup has been ruled out of football indefinitely as he's been diagnosed of 'metabolic disorders', a condition that has made his performance the last two years worrisome for his last two clubs- Bayern, Dortmund and his country, Germany. Since 2011, Gotze has missed a total of 39 games due to 10 different muscle injuries.

25 years after, British songwriter sues Rock Band, U2

Paul Rose, a British writer and guitarist with 12 solo albums of his own is suing popular rock band U2 (Bono, Edge and the boys) saying they jacked the music for "The Fly" (released by U2 in 1991) from his 1989 song "Nae Slappin." In the court documents, Rose says he recorded a demo and gave it to Island Records, which circulated it and repeatedly listened to in its offices. That same year, Island Records signed U2 and Rose thinks it's no coincidence  that "The Fly" the lead single from U2's "Achtung Baby" album features a guitar hook and solo nearly identical to the one in "Nae Slappin." It's not clear why Rose waited 25 years to sue, but he wants $5 million in damages. Listen to both songs below...

China wants to start paying families to have more than one child

The Chinese government is currently considering giving families financial incentives to have a second child in a bid to reach higher birth rate targets.  This marks a dramatic turn around from more than four decades of the country's one-child policy when there were harsh penalties for having more than one, including fines and forced abortions. Wang Peian, the vice-minister of the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC), said the commission is considering "birth rewards and subsidies" for second children. Wang made the announcement  on Saturday  during a meeting of the China Social Welfare Academy, a Chinese NGO that works closely with the government. According to China Daily, the announcement was in part prompted by a survey the NHFPC carried out in 2015, showing that 60% of families polled were reluctant to have a second child because of financial constraints.

He said no decision had yet been taken on whether to charge a North Korean man, who is also being held over the killing.

Mariah Carey Suffers Major Fashion Fail With Oscars Red Carpet Nip Slip

Poor Mariah Carey suffered a major fashion fail when she headed to the Vanity Fair after party though - the dreaded nip slip. The Without You hitmaker looked stunning in a jungle print gown, but the plunging neckline could barely contain her ample bosom. Mariah seems to be unaware that her nipple is on show as she happily poses up for photographers before heading into the star-studded bash. The star also drew attention to her cleavage with a stunning diamond-encrusted gold necklace, and showed off some leg with a split in her dress. The mum-of-two wore her golden locks in loose curls that hung around her shoulders. All-in-all, she looked absolutely stunning, so it was a shame about her wardrobe malfunction. It's not the first time she's failed to keep her boobs covered by her clothing. The singer, 46, recently suffered another nip slip while out on a date with her boyfriend, dancer Bryan Tanaka.
