Brussels attacks: Police hunt Zaventem bombings suspect

Belgian police have issued a wanted notice for a suspect after bomb attacks at Brussels' main airport and a metro station left more than 30 people dead.

The man was seen walking with two other suspects shortly before twin explosions tore through Zaventem airport.

Both men died in the attacks after detonating suicide devices, a Belgian prosecutor said.

Anti-terror raids have taken place across Belgium. So-called Islamic State (IS) said it was behind the attacks.

An online statement from the group said the locations were "carefully selected" and warned of worse to come for "Crusader states allied against the Islamic State".

The prosecutor, Frederic Van Leeuw, said police were seeking a man wearing a hat and light-coloured jacket.

He said searches were taking place "in several parts of the country", adding that an explosive device containing nails, chemical products and an IS flag were found in an apartment in the Schaerbeek area of Brussels.

The explosions happened in quick succession shortly after 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT), with some victims reportedly hit by the second blast as they tried to escape the first.

Another bomb was later found and destroyed in a controlled detonation at the scene.

The Zaventem mayor, Francis Vermeiren, told the AFP agency the suicide attackers used bombs hidden in their suitcases.

About an hour after the airport blasts, another explosion struck the Maelbeek metro station near EU headquarters.

It has not been confirmed what caused the explosion but IS said it too was a suicide bombing.

Belgian officials put the death toll from both attacks at over 30, with at least 11 killed at the airport and about 20 at the metro station.

Almost 200 people have been injured, many of them severely.

The blasts came days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in last year's Paris attacks which were also claimed by IS.

"This is a day of tragedy, a black day," Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said. "I would like to call on everyone to show calmness and solidarity."

Belgium has raised its terrorism alert to its highest level. Three days of national mourning have been declared.

Some local transport has re-opened following a shutdown, but flights from the airport have been cancelled and the airport is unlikely to open for several days. Eurostar services in and out of Brussels have been suspended.

World leaders have sent condolences and messages of solidarity.

MICHELLE OBAMA, SASHA AND MALIA BRING THEIR FASHION A-GAME TO CUBA

By FRANK 

Despite the raindrops, the first women of the White House brought sunny style along for their first official trip to Cuba. 

Clad in black, white and floral-print sundresses, First Lady Michelle Obama and daughtersSasha Obama, 14, and Malia Obama, 17, were a breath of fresh fashionable air as the family descended the steps of Air Force One on Sunday to take their historic first steps in the nation's colorful capital, Havana—the first of any presidential family in nearly nine decades. 

Their ensembles for the day were a far cry from that of former First Lady Grace Coolidge when she made the trip with former President Calvin Coolidge in 1928. Gone are the days of flapper-inspired drop waists and cloche hats—Michelle opted for a sleeveless white cocktail dress adorned with a cranberry and navy floral print designed by Venezuelan-born American designer Carolina Herrera.

The First Lady previously wore a power blue Herrera creation to welcome Pope Francis to D.C. in September.  

Sasha took a fashion note from her famous mother and selected a black a-line sleeveless knit dress with white trim at the neck and down the waist by Shoshanna. The ensemble retails for $385. Rounding out the trio of springtime essentials, Malia sported a mixed floral dress with mid-length sleeves. 

If these teens couldn't get any cooler touring the city on their spring break, the sisters kept comfy in sneakers as they took in the sights of Old Havana. As for mom Michelle, she walked around the damp cobble streets in matching rose-colored flats. 

Come rain or shine, the three ladies kept their sleek tresses dry and picture-perfect under umbrellas. 

Just like that—on the first official day of spring, the trends have been set with one fell swoop.

The Game Claims He Is "The Most Underrated Lyricist Ever"

The Game took to Instagram yesterday (March 18) to publish a post detailing his night that included his first shot of 50 Cent's Effen Vodka, deciding between Rihanna and Beyonce, asking Jay Z for a feature and claiming Pharrell would agree with the Compton, California rapper's claim that he is the "most underrated lyricist ever."

The Game starts his post addressing 50 Cent, his longtime rival. The caption is for an image of the G-Unit rapper's Power show side-by-side with Fox's Empire.

"@50Cent now nigga, I been quiet for 10+ years... But I'm off this Effen tonite cause the club ran outta whatever the fuck else I was drinking so I said fuck it... Me n this nigga used to be tight as #Kehlani pussy [& no I haven't f%?!€$ I'm just guessing it's tight & she blocked me...Swerve) so gimme that Effen since I ran thru 40 bottles of #AppleCiroc in #LeJardin tonite...#iGotTheReceipt to prove it !!!!! & then as I start drinking the #EFFENVODKA I thought to myself... This bullshit is actually amazing..... As soon as I took my 1st shot I felt like everybody in the club had took the same 2 shots I did cause they were all staring at me, as if they needed me to give them some direction.. & what I do???"

The "100" rapper then contemplates the difference between Rihanna and Beyonce and says that he is a subscriber to TIDAL, which has exclusively released work for both of the singers.

"I put on that @BadGalRiRi 'Work Work Work Work' not because it's better than Beyonce but actually because I can't decide between @badgalriri & @beyonce when I'm drunk," he says, "so maybe I should listen to both SINGLES on #Tidal when I'm sober so I can decide... Then I thought, I spend $27.99 on #Tidal a month... & I'm a RICH/cheap project nigga...."

He then asks Jay Z, owner of TIDAL, for some contributions to his future musical endeavors. The Game says he will probably never reach the same commercial success as his 2005 debut album, The Documentary, which sold 587,000 copies its first week, but still calls himself "the most underrated lyricist ever."

"So all that being said... Hov, I need a feature..." he says. "Cause I'm well beyond the years of me dropping the DOPEST ALBUM OF 2005.... #TheDocumentary... Which was #CLASSIC wasn't it???? I'm only asking HOV.... Well, @pharrell too because he'll be honest in telling you I'm the most underrated lyricist EVER ! Basically.... I'm that nigga 11 years, 29 million albums sold & 4 kids later & im still #SOLO & rich beyond my #HomeDepot expectations when I was a bag boy... & on that note... #Hoodnight #NoTypo - THE GAME [SIDEBAR: 2nite I beat @iam_objxiii in a dance battle & I thank @ChrisBrownOfficial for getting me prepared to serve my guy] I thank @ChampagnePapi for the #LOUISXIII he sent down the street to me... Check it, #TheDontWantYouToSpeakYoMind #MAJOR (key emoji) @DJKhaled @DreDay3000 voice!!!"

Kehlani wrote her own Instagram post condemning The Game for his comments about her.

"Mood.... As FUCK," she writes for the caption of a picture of Rihanna crossing her arms looking annoyed. The since-deleted post from the 20-year-old was captured by TheShadeRoom. "#YourLackofRespectForWomenIsShowing #NeverMetMeBefore #DontEverExpectTo #BarelyOldEnoughToBabySitYoKids"

HERE ARE THE SURPRISING THINGS ZAYN MALIK WAS NOT ALLOWED TO DO IN ONE DIRECTION

By FRANK

With four singles topping the charts and his first studio album set for release in just a matter of days, Zayn Malik has officially embarked on his new direction away from One Direction. 

It may have only been a year since the 23-year-old dark-haired hunk bid farewell to his teenage boy band, but it seems the singer is already light years away from where he was 12 months ago.

With supermodel Gigi Hadid at his side, Malik has blossomed into a full-fledged performer with the license to express himself however he sees fit—even if that means singing about "a place that is so pure, so dirty and raw" with frosted silver tips in his hair. If the "Pillow Talk" singer was still in the band today, his hairstyle simply would not exist. 

"There were certain restrictions in terms of the way that we could come outside of that young teen boy look. Mainly my beard, honestly. I wasn't allowed to keep it. Eventually, when I got older, I rebelled against it, and decided to keep it anyway. That was just because I looked older than the rest of them," he revealed in the April/May issue ofComplex. "That's one of the things that is now quite cool. I get to keep my beard. I also wanted to dye my hair when I was in the band, but I wasn't allowed to."

Ultimately, the subtle restrictions involved with being a member amounted to one major problem for Malik. 

"It was about denying the authenticity of who I was, and what I enjoyed about music, and why I got into it," he declared. "That was always there. It was one of the things that wasn't going to go away, so I had to go away."

He's certainly turned up the heat since his departure, thanks to sexy new songs and sultry accompanying music videos. With almost 300 million views, his clip for "Pillow Talk" starring Hadid has cemented his post as music's bonafide bad boy. According to the crooner, making that music video didn't require much rehearsal with Hadid at all. 

"We were just messing around," he told the magazine. "It wasn't even, like, part of the shoot. You know when they say, 'action?' They didn't do that. It was just rolling."

No matter what they're doing, the cameras are constantly rolling on the twosome—one of Hollywood's most curious couples yet. While his personal and professional lives are engulfed by chatter, Malik does the best he can to dull the noise. 

"I try to keep the two very separate. I try to, as much as I can. But there's only so much you can do. I'm learning to deal with it," he admitted. "It's just one of those things now, in the background. I just leave it as a bit of a noise in the background."
