    He always manages to get out of it one way or another. R&B singer, Chris Brown has escaped the clutches of the law again; sources say that he was released a few hours ago with bail and the assault charge has been reduced from a felony, which could have landed him in prison.
    He’s also required to stay 100 yards away from the man he allegedly punched in D.C yesterday.
    Chris, who has been in custody since the incident, had been ordered to take a drug test, but the judge vacated that order (we already know what the result would have been though).
    His bodyguard’s charge was also reduced to a misdemeanor.

  •  

    On Monday Oct. 21st, US Republican Senator Ted Cruz told a rally that Nigerian email scammers have been hired to run the Obamacare website, a comment that a lot of Nigerians found offensive. After being bombarded with several phone calls from Nigerians in Houston and all across the US, the office of Ted Cruz has issued a statement from the Senator apologizing for what he said.

     
    The full statement reads:
     
    It’s unfortunate that we’re living in a time where just about every joke can be misconstrued to cause offense to someone.
    To the good people of Nigeria - a beautiful nation where my wife lived briefly as the child of missionaries - no offense was intended.
    I am fully appreciative of the range of mutual economic and security interests that make Nigeria an important friend to the United States.
    And even to those few unscrupulous email scammers who were the subject of the joke, I apologize to you for the unfair comparison to the utterly dysfunctional Obamacare website

    D'Banj Now Desperately Seeking Relevance Through Genevieve Nnaji?

    For some time now, the popularity of D'Banj has been going down. Musically, he is no more making statements like he used to do while with Don Jazzy, running their defunct Mohits Records.

    Some have even termed songs released after their crash as mere 'noise' as the acclaimed 'Eja Nla', which means 'big fish', has not been able to release songs that can attain one quarter success of 'Oliver Twist', which had the Midas touch of Don Jazzy in it.

    In recent times, probably trying to remain relevant, since music has ostensibly failed to do that for him, D'Banj and his media crew may have deployed the tactics of using Genevieve Nnaji to be in the news.

    Or how do explain D'Banj coming up again years after to say he wishes to marry Genevieve as a wife. Of course, within him, he and his PR crew know that such will generate arguments, which is aimed at keeping people talking about him.

    He knows that anything Genevieve, especially the one that relates to their then rumoured romance, will keep people talking about him.

    If D'Banj is really ready to be in the news, let him do good music since he is in G.O.O.D Music, where good songs are done, and not telling us how truly he kissed Genevieve in his music video or how (allegedly) his mum rejected Genevieve as his wife when he presented her to his mum.

    Get busy in the studio and stop seeking relevance through the actress looks like he is musically finished. I only hope Kanye West won't be regretting why he signed D'Banj unto his label. God help you D'Banj.

    Jonathan begs ASUU to end strike

  • President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti appealed to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to return to the classrooms in the interest of their students.
    He made the appeal at the inauguration of the College of Engineering Complex at the Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Ekiti State.
    The three-storey college complex was named after the President.
    Jonathan urged ASUU members to heed his appeal saying that whatever their grievances might be, keeping students out of school for four months was unpatriotic.
    “I once again appeal to the entire membership of ASUU to pause and ponder on the adverse effect of their action on the future of the vibrant youths of this great nation.
    “The collective destiny of tens of thousands of tomorrow’s leaders should not be held hostage to vagaries of labour disputes.
    “As long as we are humans, as long as we are a developing society, this labour dispute must come up.
    “I always say that even in the developed societies we hear about labour dispute; and there is no society, even the most developed, that has provided the facilities for every worker.
    “Our security services, the Police, the Armed Forces, Navy, Air Force and para-military, intelligent services are also operating in an environment that is not the best.
    “If all of us should go on long strike because our environment is not at its optimum, then definitely we can never get the Nigeria of our dream.
    “So, let me use this unique opportunity that I am interfacing with our future leaders, our students, to plead with ASUU members.
    “If it is a genuine strike keeping students out of classrooms for almost four months, by that they have demonstrated to everybody that they have a case.
    “And if the strike is motivated by some other interests, they have also achieved that by keeping students out of schools for more than a semester,” he said.
    The President emphasised that the freedom of association and the right of workers to go on strike should not be abused to harm the country’s interest.
    “I believe that labour has the right to go on strike, but in that strike, any action taken must be built on patriotic zeal.
    “In as much as you can go on strike, you must be patriotic to our country.
    “No matter how and what you feel about Mr president and the federal government, I plead with ASUU that for the sake of our students, they should resume classes,” he said.
    President Jonathan assured all that the government would continue to work with all Nigerians to build a better country for all and future generation.
    He noted that as long government had shown commitment to improving the qualities of infrastructure in the universities and the operating environment, ASUU should reconsider its stand.
    Jonathan noted that if students of private universities could get their degrees within three and half years as witnessed in ABUAD, “it is unacceptable that students of public institutions are kept for extra one or two years”.
    The President congratulated the founder and President of ABUAD, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), for the feat achieved in the institution.
    He said he was deeply humbled by the decision to name the College of Engineering of the institution building after him.
    “It is often said that great minds live great history behind them and this history is built on a very great vision.
    “The vision of Aare Afe Babalola, founder of this promising institution, is a noble one.
    Jonathan noted that historically, some of the greatest institutions of learning in the world were shaped by the vision, foresight and personal experience of their founders.
    He described Babalola as “a man of unassailable character, profound vision, an epitome of the highest ideals and a quintessential Nigerian patriot”
    The President charged the pioneer graduating students of the institution to become good ambassadors of the school and decent citizens that would make Nigeria proud.
    In a welcome address, Babalola said the institution built some three and half years ago ss worth over N60 billion in private investments.
    He said that with more than 4,000 students from 36 States of Nigeria and FCT, the institution was reputed to be one of the fastest growing private universities in Africa.
    The renowned lawyer and educationist said ABUAD was the second best private university in the country and the 14th best among all public and private universities in Nigeria.
    Babalola said he decided to invest in the education sector because of his firm believe that government could not fund the sector alone.
    He noted that the best universities in the world such as Oxford and Havard were privately owned.
    Babalola said the naming of the College of Engineering of the institution after the president was in recognition of the immense contributions of the administration to education sector.
    Specifically, Babalola said the College was dedicated to the President in endorsement of the laudable transformation programmes in the education sector and in particular, the enabling environment given to the private sector.
    He called on the President to intervene in the development of the Ekiti Airport.
    He said that in spite of the more than N600 million approved by the federal government for the commencement of the project in 2011, nothing had happened at the site of the airport.
    Minister of State for Education Nyesom Wike congratulated Babalola for setting standard in private university funding and operation.
    He said that ABUAD could favourably “compete with any university on earth” with world class infrastructure and well-behaved and brilliant students.
    Wike also reiterated the federal government’s commitment to transform the education sector.
    Governors Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, Ramalan Yero of Kaduna, Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe and the host governor, Kayode Fayemi, attended the ceremony.
    Also in attendance were Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade, Minister of State for FCT, Olajumoke Akinjide and Sen. Phillip Aduda (PDP-FCT).
    The Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Festus Adejugbe, other traditional rulers and prominent citizens from the state were also in attendance.

  • Students have called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities not to betray them in the on-going strike. They said they would not like a situation when the strike would be called off without achieving anything.
    This came as herbalists in Oyo State pledged their support for ASUU.
    According to the President of the herbalists in the state, Dr. Arunoyemi Asanlaye, “we are in support of ASUU on the on-going strike”.
    The students in large number at a town hall meeting, tagged, Save Public Education Campaign, which was organised by ASUU, UI chapter at the Trenchard Hall, University of Ibadan Monday showed their displeasure at the seeming docility and indifference of the Nigeria Labour Congress calling on the labour union to embark on solidarity strike to force government to respond to ASUU demands.
    Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, Chairman, ASUU UI chapter, said the union would use any method to actualize their demands clarified that the struggle was not about the salaries of lecturers but the funding of education in the country.
    Ajiboye said, “We are using so many methods. We cannot tell you when to move to Bodija Market. That is part of our strategies.
    Instead of begging ASUU, the government should declare a state of emergency in the education sector”.
    Responding to the call by the students, Mr. Bashir Olanrewaju, NLC Chairman in Oyo State, said, “By Wednesday, we will come out with a more proactive stance on the strike. Though, students have called on us to go on strike, we will not go on strike now. We will only mediate. If an affiliate has a problem, joining it in strike will collapse the whole system.
    We have never been docile about the incident”.
    Prof. Remi Raji, lecturer at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, said, ”Government should look at the NEEDS Assessment report. It is almost a year now that the 169 recommendations had been made and nothing has been done.
    Salary of lecturers is just one of the nine demands of ASUU”.

  • The three-year ban on former Nigeria CAF and FIFA Executive Committee member, Dr. Amos Adamu, slammed on him by the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) has expired, thus making the Nigerian high profile sports administrator free again to participate in football activities within and outside Nigeria.
    The FIFA ban on Adamu, a retired Director General of the National Sports Commission, expired at 12mid night on October 19.

    Adamu
    Adamu

    But contrary to expectations, Dr. Adamu has declared that he is not in hurry to return to football administration in CAF, FIFA and WAFU.
    “My interest is not to rush back to the international federations, but I am delighted that my ban has expired and I am free to contribute to the development of football and sports generally in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.”
    The former WAFU president noted that, he learned lots of lessons during his period of incarceration, and on return now, he would be delving into sports business and not sports administration as it was the case before his ban.
    “My focus is different now and those expecting me to rush back to football administration would be disappointed. I want to do serious business in sports. I am now a different person. This is the new Amos Adamu.
    “I went through some transformations which had been worthwhile. I am now a different person wiser than before.”
    Adamu expressed delight in the supports given to him during the period of his travails by the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Sports Ministry and the National Sports Commission (NSC) under the leadership of Professor Taoreed Adedoja who stood firmly to defend him.
    “I am also grateful to the leadership of the National Assembly who made frantic efforts to ensure that I was not unjustly incarcerated after presenting them with documented evidences both in print and video.”
    The former Director of Sports Development stressed that, his consolation despite the three-year ban was the FIFA action which cleared him of all corruption charges and limited his offence to that of ethics violation.
    Adamu was banned in 2010 after the FIFA World Cup in South Africa following a petition sent to the world football governing body by the UK Bid Committee for the FIFA World Cup.

  • There was a wake-up call last week for some contenders to up their game or face eviction from the quest. Those put up for eviction include 4 men and 4 women, namely; Amanda Ebeye, Biodun Okeowo, Nadia Buari and Queeneth Hilbert. For the men; John Dumelo, Van Vicker, Mike Ezuruonye were also drawn up for possible eviction.
    However, since only one man and one woman could actually be dropped per week, three of these stars have once again escaped getting hammered.
    The one man and one woman, who could not flow with the tide are Amanda Ebeye and John Dumelo as the duo have run their course in the game.

    sexiest8
    Though, one cannot say the three other men and women put up extraordinary performance during the week’s voting, the dropped duo simply just didn’t the spirit to go. Perhaps, Queeneth Hilbert may be excused as she did wonderfully well to put herself above other low runners in the game.
    How they stand
    For the women: Tonto Dikeh is barely holding on to the first spot as Stephanie Okereke has recorded yet another wonderful week, to put her almost neck to neck with Tonto Dikeh who has been smugly enjoying the top spot from the beginning.
    But If Tonto and Stephanie are having a tango of sort, Ebube Nwagbo and Yvonne Nelson are having a tough tussle, that is sure to leave a victor and a vanquished next week. They are both in 3rd and 4th. Angela Okorie is still on her 5th seat but not without a challenge from Colette Orji on 6th even when Rita Dominic is beginning to show a renewed vigour to fight at 7th. Cynthia Agholor holds on to 8th but Queeneth Hilbert and Biodun Okeowo respectively on 9th and 10th are sure breathing down her neck. The 11th woman is Nadia Buari.
    For the men: Yul Edochie continues his cruise control run. Even when it seems no one is pushing hard enough to trouble him, the actor keeps gathering momentum every week to really lose everybody. However, same cannot be said of Ramsey Nouah, who is beginning to have a challenge being thrown his way from Benson Okonkwo. Even Pope who was giving Benson a concern has lost some steam to keep with the pace Benson has found. The status quo remains same but this top 4 is worth keeping an eye out for.
    Frank Artus retains the 5th place, with Uti Nwachukwu on his tail, like a stink on a skunk, and it will not be too surprising if the two have to trade places come next week. Ali Nuhu is now on 7th followed by Odunlade Adekola on 8th place. Van Vicker and Mike Ezuruonye completes the picture at 9th and 10th. The 11th man is Benjamin Joseph.
    Now, it seems Nadia Buari and Benjamin Joseph are looking down the barrel of a gun but haven’t we seen enough on this quest to know anything can happen? Keep voting.

  • Despite being the busiest actress in Nollywood,plus-sized actress, Chioma Toplis has continued to be an item in the industry. Since 2004 when she had her break in  Nollywood, the busty role interpreter is not resting on her oars.  Based in the United Kingdom, the fair- complexion actress who combines acting with her business of selling and buying has featured in many flicks such as Iraq and Iran, Zara, Sincerity, Deadly Friend, Proof of Life, Mad Ghost, among many others. Married to a Briton, the controversial sexy actress  in this interview, addresses some of the issues bothering on career, controversies, marital life and dress sense.
    What has been happening to you recently?
    I am fine. I have not been regular in Nigeria this year. I had been on holiday with my children abroad. I need to put certain things in place before returning to the country.
    When was the last time you visited Nigeria ?
    I left the country in November last year. I am not a noise maker. Nobody hears about me whenever I’m around. I’m not really a party goer. I am always on my own doing my thing. In fact, I’m more involved in my business than going on movie sets. It’s only when I am free that I consider hitting teh set.
    Have you been shooting movies in the UK ?
    No,  I don’t go for auditions in the UK. While in the UK, I get more involved in my boutique business. I don’t have a shop but I run my business from my house.
    With your business, do you still  find time to pursue  your acting career?
    Of course, I still go on location.  You know, in Nollywood, you work with producers that are your people.  I don’t go about canvassing for jobs. If you need me, you know how to reach me. I’d go for jobs that I’m invited to be part of the cast. It’s not every movie that I would want to feature in. No, Iam selective.
    Is it deliberate or that your business does not give you the chance to focus on acting?
    It is partly because of my business and my family. I really want to  be focused but at the same time, I have to engage myself in other things that would food on my table. Scripts don’t come my way most often. But I have to do other things that are profitable to me.  Sometimes, I might be  busy with my business when script will suddenly come my way and I might not be chanced to grab it at that moment.
    *Chioma Toplis
    *Chioma Toplis
    You run a boutique in Lekki. Do you supply Nollywood with costume or props?
    I don’t, but I have been providing my own costuming ever since I joined Nollywood. It is only when I’m required to wear  traditional outfit that they producers provide costumes for me.   In spite of this, I don’t costume other  stars. My boutique is located  in Lekki, and I sell wholesale. That’s why I don’t have too many people as customers even in Nollywood.
    What role did you play in your  last movie?
    I  have forgotten the title of the movie. But I can remember I played the role of Mariam, Apollo’s friend in that movie .   When it was released, people were calling to commend my acting prowess. I don’t like feauring in movies regularly. I believe in doing one quality job at a time. And each time, I star  in a movie, people always recommend the work. I’m looking forward to starring in a blockbluster movie. To some people,  I am an arrogant person. But the truth is that I am not arrogant. I still want to maintain my dignity.
    What is your take on the state of the  Actors Guild of Nigeria ?
    I am a member of the guild. But I’m not interested  in the politics of the guild because I know that what is happening therein is not peculiar to the guild alone. It happens in many other organisations. But I will be happy if there is peace in the industry.  I am particularly happy that for the first time  a woman is the piloting the affairs of the guild. Perhaps, it means that  one day, our leaders will give a woman the opportunity to rule this country. I don’t have anything against anybody as a member of the guild.
    As an actress, what role can you not play in movies?
    I don’t think there is any role I cannot play in movies. However, due to our culture, I cannot play certain roles.  If I’m overseas, I can play any role. They have a way of packaging their movies even when you think there is lots of nudity. They do it in a way that you are not going to go nude.  If I find myself in Hollywood, I will interprete whatever role I’m  given to play. When people kiss in Hollywood, it looks real. But  in actuality, nothing serious happened. In Nollywood and given the kind of culture we have here, it’s a big issue.  You will be castigated and your  family will disown you.
    How do you combine your business with your acting career?
    That’s  why I don’t have time on my won. It is also why you don’t always see me out there. I am not a noise maker. When  people  see me they feel I’m just here for the fun of it.I do other things here. I’m into interior decoration. I have not done a national or international job  before now, but I have been doing a lot of personal jobs. I have friends who invite me to do one or two things for them.
    What is your relationship with some of your colleagues in the industry, particularly Oge Okoye ?
    I don’t want to talk about that now. When I first came into the industry, I took everybody that came close to me as friends but with the passage of time, I realised that not everybody that laugh with you are  your friends. As a result, I started choosing my friends and not them choosing me. I chose the ones I feel I can call my friends.
    Could you share some of the ugly experiences that made you to take such a drastic decision?

    I’m not going to recount any story now. But it is not about one person. It has to do with people  I called my friends and who were around me then.  My mind is an open book to everybody. But I have learnt my lesson from whatever  happened between me and the people I called my friends. I have also forgiven everybody who has wronged me in one way or the other. I have moved on with my life.
    Toplis-celeb
    It wasn't a pleasant experience I must tell you. It has to do with back-biting, jealousy, and stabbing one in the back. I experienced a lot  of things. But unfortunately, these people  who  were criticizing me were not my equal. I am down-to-earth and may be, I appeared to be older than them  because I know when they were born.  You just put yourself in and flow. At the same time, I can do anything I want to do and be what I want to be without them. None of them introduced me to anybody in the industry. Everything I have done in the industry today, I have done for myself.
    Did their action somehow  affected your marital life?
    No way
    There was a rumor that your marital life was affected negatively
    My husband doesn't have that kind of time. Anybody that is bringing my family into any controversy is just wasting his or her time. I am just an easy going person and it has nothing  to do with my marriage.
    You are saying your marriage was never threatened?
    It can never be.
    Why do you dress the way you dress?
    I wear what I feel comfortable in. In fact, I dress according to the occasion. Presently, I have cut down on the kind of  clothes I wear because  of the fact that one is no longer a child. I have decided to reduce it a bit especially when I am in Nigeria. It is not that I flaunt my cleavages a lot but it depends mostly on the kind of clothes I’m  putting on at that moment.
    I have reduced the way I wear mini-skirt. I just want to be wearing clothes that suits my age. I am going to be 40 sometime this year. Not that you won’t see me in other wears like when I am going clubbing but I have really cut down on those wears. To my husband, it is not a big deal. He even loves  to see me in mini.
    For sometimes, I have not made my colored hair. Anybody that wants to talk about my dress sense, the person should go ahead and do so.  Some people misunderstood me, they judge the book by its cover. Some people may conclude she’s  irresponsible. If  I am irresponsible, I won’t be in marriage of 18 years now. I wouldn't have brought up my  son who is going to be 19  years soon.
    I am so proud to say I have three children whom I brought up single handedly .  Over the years, my husband  doesn't live with us. He is always working outside the country. Now,  he doesn't live with us. He used to live in Dubai but now, he resides in Kuwait .  When people sit  back and gossip someone, they should remember that I have three grown up children I brought up from the scratch. If people want to judge me by how I dress or any other thing, that’s their business.
    What attracted you to your husband?
    I met him here in Nigeria . One of my friends who is married to a Norwegian man invited me to a sent forth party. He was also at the event. I was sitting at a corner  when he sighted me and immediately sent somebody to come and ask me what I wanted to drink. I told him I wanted to take a bottle of coke. I don’t take alcohol. Later, I thanked him and he gave me his complimentary card and that was it. He told me he got attracted to me because of my set of teeth. One thing led to another before  we knew what was happening, we got married and later moved to the UK. Hie is an engineer.
    How do you cope without your husband most of the time?
    In the first 10 years of our marriage, we used to live together and we were moving with him. But when our  children got permanent school in the UK, I didn't want to be moving them anymore.
    How do you cope with your male admirers?
    If I am beautiful why won’t men come after me? Even ugly ones, men still chase them. When they come to me, I usually tell them  that I am married and nothing more. Naturally, I know that most Nigerian men don’t like to have anything to do with married women.

  • SYDNEY (AFP) – Australian mining tycoon, dinosaur park enthusiast and political force Clive Palmer Monday pegged out a new role for himself — a deckchair cameo in a movie he plans about the Titanic.
    Palmer has made waves with his bid to build Titanic II — a replica of the doomed luxury liner which sank more than a century ago — which is scheduled to make its first Atlantic crossing in 2016.
    “Due to worldwide interest in @titanic_ii I’ve registered ‘Palmer Pictures’. Will look at making a movie about its maiden voyage #titanic,” he tweeted.
    “@titanic_ii The ship where dreams come true,” he added later.
    Palmer, who has won a seat in the Australian parliament pending an ongoing recount after the success of his Palmer United Party in September elections, told the AAP news agency that the movie would be filmed aboard his liner.
    “It will be a love story,” he said.
    “We have a lot of actors from Hollywood, China and Europe who want to star in roles.”
    Palmer said his version of the Titanic would be “a lot better” than James Cameron’s 1997 global hit starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
    “I could be in a deckchair having a drink,” he added of his dream to make a cameo appearance.
    Global interest in Titanic II has prompted Palmer’s latest film move, he said.
    “My father George had Palmer Pictures originally back in the 1920s and he made two silent films in Australia,” he said in a statement, adding that there were also plans for a documentary on the ship’s maiden voyage.
    “The script is still being worked on and of course we would be seeking major Hollywood stars and production people to be involved in the movie project,” he said.
    Palmer’s Titanic II will feature modern modifications but try to remain as true as possible to the original, which went down after hitting an iceberg in 1912. He has said construction will begin next March in China.
    The original Titanic, which was built in Belfast, sank on its first trip from Southampton in England to New York, killing more than 1,500 passengers and crew.
    Palmer, a larger-than-life character who made a fortune in mining, is also a real estate developer and tourism resort operator who is planning to build “the world’s biggest” park of giant robotic dinosaurs at his Coolum Resort on Australia’s Sunshine Coast.

    Vatican City (AFP) - A big-spending German Catholic bishop was called before Pope Francis on Monday, as speculation grows over whether he will be forced to resign for his high-roller lifestyle.
    Bishop of Limburg Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, dubbed the "bling bishop" by the press for his extravagances, was received by the pontiff after a tense week's wait in Rome.
    A Vatican statement confirmed the audience but did not offer any further details.
    Tebartz-van Elst hit the headlines following accusations he took a business-class ticket on a trip to India and squandered money on luxuries.
    His private quarters in a brand-new bishop's palace are reported to have cost about 2.9 million euros ($3.9 million) and included a 63-square-metre dining room and a 15,000-euro bathtub.
    On Thursday, the pope met Germany's top Catholic cleric Robert Zollitsch for closed-door talks about the scandal.
    Religious observers have speculated that humility advocate Francis, who has called for "a poor Church for the poor", may decide to make an example out of Tebartz-van Elst, forcing him to resign.
    A decision is not expected to be taken until Zollitsch has filed a report the Vatican has requested on the scandal.
    The 53-year-old bishop is under pressure to resign after using church funds to build himself the new diocese headquarters, which also include a museum, conference halls and a chapel.
    The ostentatious project in the ancient town of Limburg was approved by his predecessor and was initially valued at 5.5 million euros, but the final bill ballooned to 31 million euros.

    $4.5 million Lamborghini Veneno Roadster announced

  • Lamborghini Veneno Roadster








    Lamborghini Veneno Roadster


    The eccentric supercar company is set to build just nine convertible versions of its already exclusive Veneno hypercar, which was officially unveiled at this year's Geneva motor show.
    While its competitors are busy experimenting with hybrid powertrains and preparing for a world in which even the crème de la crème of supercars use 10, eight or even six cylinders, Lamborghini is refusing to give up on massive, gas-hungry engines without a fight.
    The Veneno Roadster looks like Batman's weekend runaround and, as only nine examples will ever be built, for most of us, the official Lamborghini photographs are the closest we'll ever get to seeing it in the flesh.
    However, even if you're lucky enough to spot one in the wild, it will probably be a red blur, capable as it is of rocketing from 0-62mph (100km/h) in 2.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 221mph (355km/h), thanks to the same 6.5-liter V12 engine found in its hardtop counterpart.
    Thanks to prodigious use of carbon fiber, Lamborghini has managed to remove the roof without denting performance too much -- it won't flex like a skateboard or wobble like a jelly, and, thanks to permanent four-wheel drive, even the Michael Schumachers of this world will struggle to run out of grip, no matter how hard it is pushed into a corner.
    Lamborghini says that all nine models will be built in 2014, and that the color "Rosso Veneno" was specially developed for the car and won't be carried over to other models in the range. And the price? Just €3.3 million (£2.8 million, $4.5 million), before tax.
