Buckingham Palace has issued a ridiculous dress code to American journalists (who are known for dressing down) who want to cover Prince William and Duchess Kate's visit to the US this weekend.
The royal couple are expected to visit the USA on December 7 and 8 and are rumoured to be meeting Jay-Z and Beyoncé at a basketball game. The Duke will then travel alone to Washington to attend an anti-corruption conference at the World Bank.

Nigerian lawyer Tunde Okewale makes GQ's World's Coolest men list
30 year old Nigerian/British lawyer Tunde Okewale was included in GQ magazine's list of the 35 “coolest” men under 38 years old. Tunde, who comes in at number 33, was called to bar in 2007.
The human rights advocate was listed alongside the likes of Prince William, Drake and Tom Hardy. GQ described Tunde as having “celebrity” status within the English legal profession. The mag said Tunde was included in the list because he “was named one of the best-looking men in the legal world" by several blogs and also because he set up Urban lawyers, an organisation that is making the law accessible to young people.

She's not that girly" Kim K says daughter prefers boyish clothes
"She's not that girly, I don't really like pinks and your typical girly colours. I like a neutral palette for her and with Kayne the same. I'm not big on loud or over the top colours. I love when she wears greens and reds and blush, just different colours of blue and creams. She doesn't like pink or purple. She likes greys, creams, oatmeal colours and black,' she told Lucky magazine.
Is it that she prefers it or that's what they put on her? Can a 1 year old have their own sense of style?"Every once in awhile she'll add in some colour, like with her little red Air Yeezys, but other than that she likes to keep it pretty simple.'
Hillsong's Brian Houston on Gay Marriage:

Hillsong Church pastor Brian Houston has issued a statement specifying his position on marriage and homosexuality after a news outlet reported that he "won't take (a) public position on LGBT issues."
The news report came after Houston brought up the topics of homosexuality and same-sex marriage at a press conference held on Thursday with New York City media, on the occasion of Hillsong Conference being held at Madison Square Garden.
"I encourage people not to assume a media headline accurately represents what I said at a recent press conference," Houston says in a statement emailed to The Christian Post on Saturday.
"Nowhere in my answer did I diminish biblical truth or suggest that I or Hillsong Church supported gay marriage," he adds. "I challenge people to read what I actually said, rather than what was reported that I said. My personal view on the subject of homosexuality would line up with most traditionally held Christian views. I believe the writings of Paul are clear on this subject."

The question that resulted in Houston's remarks on homosexuality centered on how his church tries to remain relevant. In his response, the Hillsong pastor offered homosexual marriage as an issue that is a challenge for some churches. Traditional Christian teachings define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
