Serena Williams Weds Alexis Ohanian In The Presence Of Beyoncé

First come 23 Grand Slam titles, then comes baby and then comes a fairytale wedding for Serena Williams. 
The tennis champion and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian tied the knot on Thursday in New Orleans at the Contemporary Arts Center surrounded by friends and family, according to multiple reports. And by friends and family we mean guests like Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, Ciara and sister Venus. 
The wedding was reportedly “Beauty and the Beast” themed, with a performance of “Be Our Guest” opening the festivities. 
The couple said “I do” three months after welcoming their first child together, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., who was also reportedly at the ceremony.
Stars descended upon the city earlier in the week for a rehearsal dinner at Emeril Lagasse’s Meril restaurant on Wednesday. Guests apparently dined on world-famous beignets from Cafe Du Monde for dessert. 
Williams and Ohanian, who’ve been linked since 2015, met by chance when he approached her in a hotel in Rome before the Italian Open. After months of dating, the couple returned to that same hotel and Ohanian popped the question.
“I came home/ A little late/ Someone had a bag packed for me/ And a carriage awaited,” Williams announced in a sweet cartoon shared on Reddit. “Destination: Rome/ To escort me to my very own ‘charming’/ Back to where our stars first collided.
“And now it was full circle/ At the same table we first met by chance/ This time he made it not by chance/ But by choice/ Down on one knee/ He said 4 words/ And I said yes

UN threatens sanctions over faltering peace deal in Mali

The UN Security Council on Wednesday gave parties to a peace deal in Mali until the end of March to show progress or face sanctions for obstructing the 2015 agreement. The council unanimously adopted a French-drafted statement that “expressed a shared sense of impatience regarding the persistent delays” in making the agreement a reality on the ground. Council members “expressed their intention to follow the situation closely and to respond with appropriate steps should the parties not implement the commitments” by the end of March, the statement warned. Islamic extremists linked to Al-Qaeda took control of the desert north of Mali in early 2012, but were largely driven out in a French-led military operation launched in January 2013. Mali’s government signed a peace agreement with coalitions of armed groups in June 2015 to end the fighting, but insurgents remain active, including in central Mali. Last week, the government and two other armed groups, the Plateforme and Coordin...

New Porsche 911 Turbo spied – next-generation of the all-weather supercar incoming

Image
Porsche’s next generation 911 Turbo spied with tell-tale side intakes and wide body. Should go on sale late in 2019 Prototypes of the next generation   Porsche 911   have been spotted multiple times already, but images have just surfaced of a development car sporting some telling details that suggest it might wear the famous   Turbo   badge. Some chunky wheelarch extensions and side-mounted intakes are visible in the spy pictures, signs leading to the assumption that - like the current 991 generation Turbo - the new car will feature a wider body than other 911s.   Judging by these images, the next 911 will probably do without any shocking changes to its aesthetic, rather the new car will focus on modernising the 911’s detailing without straying too far from Porsche’s comfort zone. At the front, the grille openings look to be shared with standard 911 prototypes that have already been spotted, expect these to be changed for production. Like t...

‘I can’t guarantee Sanchez’s stay at Arsenal’

Arsenal’s Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez celebrates after scoring their third goal during the English Premier League football match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal at Selhurst Park in south London on December 28, 2017. Manager Arsene Wenger says he cannot guarantee that striker Alexis Sanchez will remain at Arsenal long term, after the forward scored twice in the victory at Crystal Palace on Thursday night. The Chile striker can leave for free this summer when his contract expires and he has been linked with a move to league leaders Manchester City, who failed in their bid to sign him on deadline day.When asked about the 29-year-old’s future, the Frenchman said: “Nobody knows what will happen. It’s difficult to speculate. “We are focused on short term, that means the next game with the players committed and ready to fight. It’s not a guarantee of how long you stay somewhere.“They are questioned, always, when people don’t have long contracts. The best way to show they are co...
