Trevor Noah might be the new Daily Show Host!
According to Variety the South African comic might be on the "short list" to replace Jon Stewart. MAJOR!
Trevor has plenty of receipts. He's toured extensively around the globe (sold out shows might I add) and he made history as the first SA comic to appear on The Tonight Show and the Late Show with David Letterman.
Like Stewart, Noah is no stranger to tackling thorny issues. In South Africa, he was known for riffing on the topics of race and politics, even using his mixed-race parentage to get laughs. Noting that his mother is a black South African and his father a white Swiss, he once told an audience, "I was born a crime," according to a 2013 report in the Wall Street Journal.

It's been a while since Miss Japan has had a Miss Universe winner - almost 8 years to be exact. Good luck to Ariyana, she will compete in the Miss Universe pageant in January of next year. I have a feeling she will do just fine!

First Lady of Style: FLOTUS Michelle Obama reaches new fashion heights in Cambodia and Japan
Michelle Obama in Japan |
First Lady Michelle Obama might seriously be in the BEST DRESSED First Lady on the planet. How chic is her stunning Kenzo dress? According to InStyle Magazine "Aside from making a bold statement, its message runs much deeper—it symbolically bridges the U.S. and Japan. Kenzo is a French fashion house that was founded by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada, but its creations today are designed by the American dream team Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. How poetic, right?"
Mrs Obama headed to Japan and Cambodia to announce a joint effort by the United States and Japan to create a new partnership to educate girls worldwide. Both countries will invest in programs that will help girls around the world get an education. How awesome!
