Jack Wilshere: Arsenal player charged by FA for gesture

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been charged by the Football Association over an alleged abusive hand gesture.
Television pictures appeared to show the Gunners midfielder, 21, raising a finger towards the crowd during the 6-3 defeat by Manchester City.

The 21-year-old has until 18:00 GMT on Wednesday to respond to the charge.

LOS ANGELES — Singer Bruno Mars was named Billboard's 2013 Artist of the Year by the industry trade magazine on Friday.

Hawaiian-born Mars, 28, topped eight of Billboard's year-end music chart lists, including the Hot 100 Artists, Mainstream Top 40 and Hot Digital Songs, and his 2012 album “Unorthodox Jukebox” has becoming one of this year's bestselling records with more than 1.8 million copies sold in the United States.

R&B singer Chris Brown had his probation revoked by a Los Angeles judge on Monday (December 16), but he was not taken into custody because of good reports on his progress in a court-ordered rehab program.

The judge pulled the 24-year-old singer's probation as a result of Brown being charged with assault in Washington, D.C. back in October for punching a man who was trying to get a picture with the singer.

AC Milan star Gennaro Gattuso investigated for match fixing

Former AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is being investigated for match-fixing, Associated Press reports.
Four other people have been detained in connection with the alleged fixing of matches in Serie A three seasons ago.
Ex-Rangers star Gattuso, 35, is retired and was sacked by Serie B side Palermo after just six league games as manager.
He won two Serie A titles and two Champions League crowns during his 13-year spell with Milan and also the 2006 World Cup with Italy in Germany.
Gattuso took charge of Palermo in the summer after being sacked by Swiss side Sion but won just two games and has been replaced by Giuseppe Iachini.
Cremona prosecutor Roberto Di Martino told AP that Gattuso and retired Milan and Lazio player Cristian Brocchi were allegedly part of a group that fixed Serie A and other matches at the end of the 2010-11 season.
A wide-ranging criminal and sporting probe into illegal betting and match fixing in Italy has already led to several arrests and bans.
Juventus manager Antonio Conte was suspended for 10 months for not reporting match fixing when he was in charge of Siena, then in Serie B, in the 2010-11 season.
Former Lazio captains Giuseppe Signori and Stefano Mauri, as well as ex-Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni also served bans with several clubs having points deducted.

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has been released from hospital after he suffered concussion in Sunday's 1-0 Premier League win against Arsenal.
Vidic, 32, was substituted shortly before half-time after colliding with United goalkeeper David De Gea.
The ex-Serbia defender, who got to his feet, was taken to hospital for an examination before returning home.
"Nemanja Vidic has been released from hospital after suffering concussion," said a United statement.

Vidic was left dazed after being caught on the head by De Gea as the Spaniard punched clear a high ball.
He is not likely to play again until 24 November when United visit Cardiff in the Premier League following the international break.
United have not put a timescale on a return to training for Vidic, who quit playing for Serbia in October 2011.
His injury came less than a week after Tottenham were criticised for allowing goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to continue playing after he was knocked out against Everton.

Czech election: Social Democrats lead but no clear winner.

An election held to resolve months of uncertainty in the Czech Republic has failed to produce a clear winner.

With all the ballots counted, the Social Democrats have the most votes - just over 20% - but they do not have enough to form a government alone.

Analysts say the result could pave the way for another unstable coalition, with the second-placed ANO party in a powerful bargaining position.

Children urged to put away screens and play outside.

The call to renew a connection with nature comes from a collaboration of almost 400 organisations, from playgroups to the NHS.

The Wild Network wants children to take up activities like conkers and camping.

"The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation," said chairman Andy Simpson.

With the video telephone and jetpack now conquered, humankind seems bound and determined to make good on another age-old promise: the flying car.
On the heels of the Transition, a prototype air-car created by US-based Terrafugia, comes the Aeromobil, a roadworthy flying car from Slovakia. During testing this week, Version 2.5 of this shapely two-seater proved that it can indeed acquit itself on both road and runway.

The latest prototype in a series that dates to 1990, the Aeromobil 2.5 features carbon fibre body work over a steel chassis. A Rotax 912 light-aircraft power plant – a horizonally opposed 1,211cc four-cylinder engine producing about 100 horsepower – supplies the propulsion on land through the front wheels, and in the air via a three-blade pusher prop. Cruising range (on premium-grade pump gasoline, notes Aeromobil) is 310 miles on land and 430 miles in the air.

The car’s insect-like wings, which sweep back against the body in driving mode, extend to a 27ft span for flight mode. The entire machine tips the scales at a scant 992lbs.

Hardly content with the success of version 2.5, Aeromobil co-founder and head designer Štefan Klein is hard at work on the more comely and refined Aeromobil 3.0 – which, if Klein has his way, will enter series production in the near future. Interested driver-pilots may want to brush up on their radio patter now.

From Scotland to England, the guys suited up in style for a round of red carpets this past weekend.

Tinie Tempah: The British rapper was appropriately dressed in a trendy-dapper Dolce & Gabbana black tux and a perfect bow tie, as he pointed out his Best Hip Hop/Grime MOBO Award at the 18th anniversary MOBO Awards at the Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday. The loafers, worn sans socks, added another shot of attitude.

This week, the red carpets have been trod by a haute flurry of fashionable females. But a handsomely clad group of guys has also been on the scene.

Chris Hemsworth: The actor-stud showed up to the ‘Thor: The Dark World’ world premiere at Odeon Leicester Square in London on Tuesday. He paired his steely, baby blues with a richly hued, dark eggplant Dolce & Gabbana three-piece suit that certainly caught my eye.

The big day is finally here for Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, as earlier today they arrived at the Chapel Royal in St. James’s Palace in London for the christening of their three-month-old son, Prince George of Cambridge.

Kelly Rowland took to the red carpet at the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards held at the JW Marriott Los Angeles at L.A. Live on Saturday in California, prior to taking to the stage for her performance.

New York Fashion Week came to a close yesterday evening, so here is my final roundup of looks I wish to see on the red carpet.

Calvin Klein: We all know Rooney Mara is going to pick one of the black looks from this collection, so I hope it is this one with its unique halter detail, contrasting fabrics and interesting fringe detailing.

Kate Upton made a guest appearance on ‘Extra’, hosted in Times Square in New York City yesterday afternoon.

I know some of you struggle to take her seriously as a fashion gal, but on this occasion her luxe Oscar de la Renta ruby double-face cashgora draped coat from the Fall 2013 collection may just change your mind – albeit temporarily.

Belted and worn with a red dress underneath, the look is both chic and flattering, don’t you agree?

Keeping the styling simple, she added Jimmy Choo ‘Anouk’ pumps and neutral makeup which allowed her true beauty to shine through.
