Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Split: call off wedding

The wedding is off. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have ended their almost four-year relationship, the singer's rep confirms to E! News. Sources say that the split was "Miley's decision, after coming to grips with Liam being what she believed was less than faithful to her." As of Monday, the actor was in the process of moving out of Cyrus' Los Angeles home, an insider added. Cyrus has been "doing good," focusing on her career milestones as of late (including breaking records on Vevo) and is "excited to launch her album in coming weeks." The two were last spotted together on Aug. 8 at the red carpet premiere of Hemsworth's film, Paranoia, in Los Angeles. He was notably absent during her controversial MTV VMA performance later that month. And just over the weekend, things seemed to foreshadow today's news when the "Wrecking Ball" singer unfollowed her former fiancé on Twitter. The couple has put even more distance between them lately with Cyrus promoting her upcoming album Bangerz in Europe while Liam was in Las Vegas for the Floyd Mayweather fight. The breakup also comes on the heels of the "We Can't Stop" singer opening up about wedding plans in the most recent issue of Harper's Bazaar. I definitely don't have time to deal with a wedding right now," she told the fashion mag. "But I will at some point." Just last week, rumors swirled that Hemsworth had been going behind Cyrus' back and sexting Mad Men star January Jones. And while his rep vehemently denied the reports calling them, "tabloid fiction," a source tells E! News that there is some truth to the reports of Hemsworth having an inappropriate relationship with Jones. The two announced their engagement in 2012, when the former Disney darling was 19-years-old. At the time, the teen bride-to-be told People, ""I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam." The Hunger Games hottie proposed with a stunning 3.5-carat diamond ring from jeweler Neil Lane. The former duo, who denied rumors of an engagement months before the Aussie actually popped the question, met back in 2009, when they costarred in The Last Song. They also briefly called it quits back in August 2010 before getting back together.

Woman gives birth on board Arik flight to London, plane makes emergency landing

An Arik Air flight with over 100 passengers en route to London Sunday was forced to make an emergency landing in Palmas, Spain, as a woman went into labour and gave birth while the aircraft was airborne. The pilot was said to have requested the emergency landing on the advice of two doctors who were on board the aircraft and had helped the mother deliver the baby. After the birth of the child, the mother, whose identity has so far been withheld, was said to have experienced excessive hemorrhaging, necessitating the emergency landing. At the time of this report, both mother and child were said to have been stable but were left behind in Palmas for monitoring by medical personnel, while the flight continued on its journey to London. On enquiry, ThisDay learnt that the airline was trying to ascertain if the woman had presented a false medical report from her doctor on the true duration of her pregnancy or she had gone into premature labour while on board the flight. Women with full term pregnancies are not allowed to travel by air, according to International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) regulations. As such, intending pregnant passengers are required to present medical reports certifying that they are less than 32 weeks pregnant before they are allowed to fly. A source said the airline was carrying out a full-scale investigation to ascertain the genuineness of the medical report presented by the woman. Arik Air’s management said yesterday that if it is discovered that the woman was given a false report to enable her fly, it would file a special complaint against the doctor who had issued the medical report to the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) for endangering her life and that of the baby, as well that of other passengers on board the flight. ThisDay learnt that when the passenger went into labour, the cabin crew had asked that doctors on board the flight to identify themselves. Following the announcement, two of the passengers came forward, saying they were doctors and assisted in the delivery of the baby.

Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has disclosed that the Archbishop of Province of Niger Delta, Most Rev. Ignatius Kattey, was released unconditionally by his abductors. Kattey and his wife, Beatrice, were abducted on September 6 at Eleme Junction on the East – West Road, while on their way to Port Harcourt from an official assignment. While Beatrice was later freed, the gunmen took the archbishop away. The Archdeacon of Eleme Archdeaconry, Venerable Israel Omosioni, told journalists that Kattey was looking healthy and agile, despite his ordeals. Omosioni said the kidnappers gave Kattey N200 as transport fare, which he used to take a motorcycle back home. He said: “Kattey was released unconditionally and he is in good health. He is hale and hearty.’’ Also the church said contrary to the claims of the Rivers State Police Command, policemen were not involved in Kattey’s rescue. The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Angela Agabe, had said in Port Harcourt that Kattey was rescued by the police at 8p.m. on Saturday. But the church said the kidnappers on their own released the cleric, without involving any other party. The church said Kattey was brought out to the expressway via the same footpath, which the kidnappers used in abducting him, and took him to a petrol station across the road. Also, a knight of the church, Sir Okafor Efiebor, told our correspondent that the police were not involved in Kattey’s release. Efiebor said the kidnappers responded to the pleas of the church and its members by releasing the cleric unconditionally. He said: “It (his release) happened on Saturday night, around 8pm. The kidnappers brought him out to the East – West Road, through the same foot path, which they used in abducting him. “They took him to the Total Filling Station beside the spot and left after, giving him a token. This is after they have apologised to him for the inconvenience caused him.’’ On Sunday last week, the church, led by its clergymen, demanded the bishop’s unconditional release and told the world that it would not pay any ransom for his release. On the following day, the church members, led by their leaders, staged a peaceful protest on the spot where Kattey was abducted; demanding his immediate release. Yesterday, Agabe confirmed that Kattey had been rescued. She said: “The command is not aware that any ransom was paid and the bishop is in stable condition.” The police imagemaker, however, said no arrest had been made in connection with Kattey’s abduction

Miss New York Nina Davuluri Crowned as Miss America

The crown has been placed on Nina Davuluri's head. The Miss New York contestant, who was in the middle of some pageant drama, was named as Miss America for 2014 during the annual show, which was held in Atlantic City, N.J., tonight. Davuluri, 24, from Syracuse, walked away with the blingtastic tiara and the $50,000 scholarship cash after performing a Bollywood dance for the talent portion of the show and answering a question about plastic surgery and shared her hopes of becoming a doctor. During the question part of the pageant, Davuluri was asked by Carla Hall about Julie Chen's decision to have plastic surgery to make her eyes less Asian. "I don't agree with plastic surgery, however I can understand that from a standpoint. More importantly I've always viewed Miss America as the girl next door. And Miss America is always evolving...I wouldn't want to change someone's looks. Be confident in who you are," she said. Miss California Crystal Lee was chosen as the first runner-up, who will take over Miss America duties should Davuluri not be able to, and Miss Oklahoma Kesley Griswold was second runner-up

Happy Birthday, Prince Harry! Royal Hunk Turns 29

It's a special day for Prince Harry! The handsome young royal and new uncle is celebrating his 29th birthday today, but it seems as though Prince William's li'l brother is choosing to keep his festivities private. There haven't been any reports detailing what Harry has chosen to do for his big day, but considering what a busy year he's had, it wouldn't be a surprise if he decided to just relax with his close friends and family and do something small. Along with taking on the new title of Uncle Harry to the precious Prince George, the royal has been keeping busy with maintaining a long list of appearances and events. Earlier this week, Harry was the guest of honor at an awards ceremony put on by WellChild, a charity he patronizes that supports sick children and their families, and that was just one stop on the day's agenda. He also attended a fundraiser with Wills in honor of the 658 BGC Partners employees who were killed on Sept. 11, 2001, at the World Trade Center. The brothers even took a turn at the trading desk themselves and helped broker a 25 billion euro transaction. Here's to hoping this busy bee had an amazing day!

Liam Hemsworth seems to be taking Miley Cyrus' Twitter diss in stride.

Liam Hemsworth seems to be taking Miley Cyrus' Twitter diss in stride. The Hunger Games star was in "good spirits" as he hit the Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez fight Friday night in Las Vegas, and stopped by a pre-party for the sporting event, a source tells E! News. Hemsworth attended the VIP pre-fight bash of Showtime PPV's presentation of The One: Mayweather vs. Canelo with pal Jeff Beacher, a group of guy friends and Ashley Greene, who walked in to the bash with them. While he was at the affair, the hunky actor posed for photos with fans, sipped on a Corona, and bobbed his head to a Ne-Yo song that came on. Although he only stuck around for about 30 minutes, the source said, "he seemed really chill and in good spirits" while he was there, adding, "he was just hanging out with his friends. It was a guys' weekend in Vegas." Celebs like Dave Chappelle, Busta Rhymes, Heidi Klum, Jerry Bruckheimer, LL Cool J and Justin Bieber were also on hand for the event. Hemsworth seemed to have a good time at the fight, the source added. Earlier in the day, Hemsworth's "Wrecking Ball" fiancé unfollowed him on Twitter. The move came after he was linked to January Jones--a story Hemsworth's rep slammed as "tabloid fiction."

john cena and the total divas

In case you missed Sunday night's mid-season finale of Total Divas or you just want to relive it, we've got the best moments from the show in a full pic/gif recap! Nattie is preparing for her big day with her WWE Superstar fiance Tyson Kidd (TJ) and the wedding is just days away. Gismo (their cat) joins in and helps them plan... Nattie's family comes over to help with the preparations and her mom surprises her with a homemade wedding dress. Not all surprises are good surprises... Nattie has already found her dream dress and she doesn't know how to let her mom know that she's not wearing this at her wedding. She says the flower on it looks like a "lady part". We don't see it. Yikes... Nattie is super nice about it and tells her mom that she loves it but just doesn't feel like it fits the overall theme. She says she'll wear it sometime in the future. Doubt it. Jump to, Eva Marie and JoJo at the unveiling of the WWE Performance Center. They still don't seem to be on the best terms. There's definitely some tension when a WWE executive tells them there's a spot opening up on the main roster. Eva says she really wants it and is ready for it. JoJo's not convinced... OH SNAP! Nikki Bella is on the phone with her sister Brie Bella when John Cena comes up the stairs and tells her that there's a problem... Nikki's worried, hangs up with Brie and listens to John explain the issue. John wants Nikki to come meet his entire family!!! (That's a problem?) But after further explanation, the dinner is the exact same day as Nattie's wedding. She would have to miss Nattie's wedding to be able to go. She has to choose between the two. It's now Monday Night Raw and the Divas are making their way into the stadium. Nikki was recently injured and is still getting used to her crutches... Why does Nikki keep falling?! Nikki tells Nattie that she won't be able to make it to her wedding and Nattie is upset. Nattie's own best friend is skipping out to go somewhere with her boyfriend and the stress of the wedding is becoming too much. She breaks down and tells Brie everything that's going on... Brie acts as a great friend and tells Nattie that all she should care about is herself and her big day. That's all that matters. (Go Brie!) Nattie agrees and gives her own self a little pep talk. Eva Marie finds out she was selected to be Nattie's valet during the big Diva match and she's getting her own big debut! All the Divas watch her premiere backstage and JoJo is not happy. After the wrestling event, the DIvas head back to their hotels and Trinity gets a call from Ariane saying that something is wrong. Her stomach is hurting her and she needs help! Trinity rushes to her room and it's obvious that Ariane's not faking it. She's crying, holding her stomach and doesn't know what's wrong. Trinity grabs the hotel phone and calls 911. She's not going to take any chances! The paramedics arrive and her pain has only gotten worse. They load her up on a gurney and wheel her away. Trinity follows the ambulance and waits for her at the hospital. A few hours go by until Ariane is released and Trinity drives her back to the hotel. Ariane says they think it has something to do with her "lady business" but they don't know exactly what's wrong. She thanks Trinity for being there for her. Crash! THUNDER! Pow! It's the day of Nattie's wedding and the weather is not cooperating... Nattie says her beach wedding is ruined and things just keep getting worse. Gismo is there to help cheer her up though! All the Divas arrive (minus Nikki) and Ariane shows up with someone... Yep...him... Ariane explains that after a little while, they decided they couldn't be apart and got back together. Nattie's nervous that he's going to cause a scene and Eva Marie admits that the two of them freak her out. (We don't blame them.) While they're getting ready for Nattie's wedding, Nikki is with John in Massachusetts visiting his entire family. John says it's very rare for them to all get together like this and it's even more rare that he's even able to attend. It seems like it's going well and Nikki is getting to meet all of them for the first time. There's no drama and they all seem to like her! There might not be drama with Nikki and John, but Jaret (a longtime friend of Nattie who admitted to having feelings for her) just showed up to the wedding and it's super awkward. Nattie hasn't told TJ about the whole situation and Jaret strolls in and tells him that she's been texting and calling him. Then out of nowhere, congratulates him and says he's a "lucky guy"... It's about to go down! TJ asks him to step out in the hall and confronts him for trying to take away his girl. After having that stern conversation, TJ walks into Nattie's room and confronts her for texting and calling him behind his back. TJ asks her if they should even get married or have the wedding! Nattie apologizes and says she didn't mean for it to go this far. They're just friends and she should have told him about the whole situation beforehand. She knows she messed up... TJ accepts her apology. Enough with that drama, tt's finally time for the wedding! And there's no better way to get ready for a wedding than to brush a goatee. (We hear it's good luck...) The music plays and Gismo, Nattie and her father all slowly walk down the aisle... At this point, we're crying, everyone in the audience is crying, Nattie's crying, the Divas are crying... it's just a whole lotta tears... The ceremony concludes and Nattie and TJ kiss as husband and wife! They all get to the reception and they start having a ball. Nikki calls Nattie and apologizes that she can't be there but gives her her blessing and wishes them luck in their future. Nattie accepts her apology and says it really means a lot that she'd call. Good to see that they're better! Nattie and TJ step onto the dance floor and have their first dance. It's romantic, cute and we're still crying at this point... TJ then surprises Nattie and shows a video montage of them from WWE and all of their years together. Nattie starts tearing up again and now we're crying even harder! It's so nice! Nattie throws her bouquet and Brie leaps and catches it out of the air! Her WWE Superstar boyfriend Daniel Bryan gives the camera a scared look and then laughs. Will they be next to get married?! Things with Jaret seemed to have been smoothed over and everything between him and Nattie are ok. They're seen dancing and having a good time together. The celebration starts to wind down and Nattie and TJ take a final, cute wedding photo together. Congrats to the happy couple! John and Nikki go out for a special dinner and Nikki brings up their relationship... She says they hardly argue and she knows that he's the one for her. John agrees, thinks a little bit and finally asks her to move in with him! Nikki thinks about it, says she feels ready and says YES! The adorable couple kiss and the show fades to black... #NenaForever Total Divas comes back to E! on Sunday, November 17th at 10/9c! Check out WWEDivas.com for even more Diva-related content
