Harrison Ford confirms return to Star Wars


It looks like Han Solo will return in Episode VII.

When it comes to 'Star Wars' casting news, this is the big one. We've heard the rumours for a long while and have speculated about their accuracy, but it seems that Harrison Ford will be returning to the Star Wars universe in the highly anticipated 'Episode VII'. In an interview with WGN9 News while promoting his latest film, Harrison revealed that the rumours about his comeback might not be rumours after all…

Watch the interview here - keep an eye out for the moment Ford realises what he might have said.

Asked if the 'old gang' would be getting back together for 'Star Wars 7', Ford was happy to add fuel to the fire. "I think it's almost true," he replied. "I'm looking forward to it… it's not in the bag yet, but I think it's happening."
Almost true? Despite the somewhat vague nature of his reply, I think that's about as big a confirmation as we're going to get for the time being. But coming from the man himself, I'd say that it's pretty much guaranteed. Of course, the initial rumours surfaced last month when the Latino Review revealed that Harrison had been in talks about reprising his role. Since then the rumours have come thick and fast, but when you consider that Carrie Fisher has already let the cat out of the bag, this is starting to look like a certainty.
So does this mean that the rest of the original cast will be joining Harrison on set? I think it's safe to say that if Harrison Ford is on-board, then both Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will be there too. They've already been in talks with George Lucas about reprising their roles, so I have to admit it's looking good. But what does this mean for 'Episode VII'?
It looks like Lucasfilm has invested a lot of time and energy into recruiting the old gang… but will they be the main focus of the new film? Or will their triumphant return simply usher in a new age for the 'Star Wars' saga? While it's tempting to wish for more of the good old days, I really hope their involvement is minimal… after all, Han Solo might have been the fastest gun in the galaxy back then, but now he's more likely to put his back out.
Do you think bringing back the original actors is a good idea? Will Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher make their 'Star Wars' comeback?

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of wo...

How My Daughter Seduced Me To Have Sex With Her – John Awah

“I became attracted to my daughter, when I saw her. And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
