Jimmy Kimmel got the tables turned on him by Rihanna on Wednesday, April 1, when the singer showed up in the middle of the night with her crew, bright lights and shenanigans while she sang her new hit song, "B*tch Better Have My Money."
Established thespian Luis Antonio Ramos is enjoying success with his role on the popular Starz series, Power. This VladTV exclusive divulges insight into the plot twists from the season finale and what may be revealed in future episodes.
While speaking on the next season, the Puerto Rican-born actor teases, "When the season starts; be ready." He goes on to intensify curiosity, saying "And [the unforeseen revelations happen] from episode to episode -- sometimes moment to moment -- where all types of sh*t gets unraveled. Wherever you thought the show was possibly going to go, it's going to change for you a little bit."
In the remainder of the clip he discusses how the organic essence of the show's presence worked to attract a loyal audience. Ramos asserts, "By the show's third episode we were having about 5 million people watching it a week." He then bolsters his comment adding, "And for cable that's huge; that's a big number for cable!"
Although Starz is a "subscriber channel," Ramos contends that clever folks have found ways to watch Power, legally and illegally, because it's that good.
Check out the entire clip to observe what else Ramos has to say about the popular Fox show Empire and the effect the two shows have had on the growing of their respective audiences.
(CNN) A swarm of gunmen stormed a Kenya university before dawn Thursday, opening fire and taking hostages.
At least 15 people were killed at Garissa University College, the Kenyan Interior Ministry said. As many as 550 others are unaccounted for at the campus that had about 815 students, according to CNN affiliate Citizen TV.
All staff members are accounted for "and are helping with the tracking of students," the Kenya National Disaster Operation Center said on Twitter.
The Somalia-based Al-Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility for the assault.
Gunmen burst into early morning Christian prayers, said Joel Ayora, who was on the campus and witnessed the attack. Taking hostages from the service, the gunmen then "proceeded to the hostels, shooting anybody they came across except their fellows, the Muslims."
The attackers separated students by religion, allowing Muslims to leave and keeping an unknown number of Christians hostage, Agence France-Press reported.
"We were sleeping when we heard a loud explosion that was followed by gunshots and everyone started running for safety," said student Japhet Mwala.
"There are those who were not able to leave the hostels where the gunmen headed and started firing. I am lucky to be alive because I jumped through the fence with other students."
Eventually, as many as 50 students were freed, and at least 65 people were hospitalized from the attack, the Kenyan Red Cross said.
Nine hours after the attack began, heavy gunfire and explosions continued, said Dennis Okari of CNN affiliate NTV.
Okari said he was told to take cover as hundreds of students fled, some crawling.
Security and ministry officials said one terrorist was arrested as he tried to slip through the security cordon and flee the scene.
Kenyan forces cleared three of four dormitories and had cornered the militants in the last one, the Interior Ministry said.
Photo of wanted man released
The ministry posted a "Most Wanted" notice for a man in connection with the attack. The notice offers a reward of 20 million Kenyan shillings, which is about $215,000. The name listed is Mohamed Mohamud.
The post does not say what role the man may have played in the attack, if any.
It includes the words "Kaa Chonjo," which means to be on the lookout.
President: Kenya suffering from police shortage
Garissa is about 145 kilometers (90 miles) from the border with Somalia. Al-Shabaab militants have often launched attacks inside Kenya ever since the Kenyan government sent troops across the border to fight the group.
"This is a moment for everyone throughout the country to be vigilant as we continue to confront and defeat our enemies," Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said.
He called on the inspector-general of police "to take urgent steps" to ensure that 10,000 recruits whose enrollment is pending "promptly report for training at the Kenya Police College, Kiganjo. I take full responsibility for this directive. We have suffered unnecessarily due to shortage of security personnel. Kenya badly needs additional officers, and I will not keep the nation waiting."
Waking up to terror
The gunshots started going off "like fireworks" around 5 a.m. at the time of the morning prayers, witness Milka Ndung'u told NTV. She and others escaped to a field, but gunshots followed them.
Augustine Alanga told CNN he woke up to the sound of gunfire and described students running around, seeking safety.
Assailants forced their way onto the campus by shooting at guards at the front gates, Kenya National Police said.
From there, attackers moved into a nearby girls' hostel, the Red Cross said.
It's not clear how many gunmen were on campus.
"We don't know how many there were, but there are probably more than 10," said Robert Alai Onyango, a blogger in Nairobi. "We believe the attackers were wearing something close to military fatigues."
Onyango said the attackers appeared to be shooting indiscriminately and "basically from all angles."
"They surrounded the mosque ... we don't know why they were surrounding the mosque," Onyango said.
About 300 students who escaped sought refuge at a Kenya Defense Forces camp, local newspaper journalist Steven Astariko said.
"We are saddened & angered by today's terrorist attack @ #Garissa Univ.," the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi tweeted. "Our deepest condolences 2 family/friends of victims."
The university was established in 2011 and is the only public university in the region.
There are usually 800 students in the dormitories when school is in session, Jackstone Kweyu, dean of students, told Citizen TV. There are 1,000 staff members on a normal workday, he said. And there are usually four guards at the campus gates overnight.
The Kenyan Red Cross and the country's health ministry are organizing a blood drive to help the victims.
Al-Shabaab's carnage in Kenya
The dangerously porous border between Somalia and Kenya has made it easy for Al-Shabaab militants to cross over and carry out attacks.
The deadliest assault by Al-Shabaab in Kenya was in September 2013 when the group attacked the Westgate shopping center in Nairobi, killing 67 people.
In a December attack on a quarry, Al-Shabaab militants separated Muslims and executed the non-Muslims, a spokesman for the group said.
Last month, the U.S. Embassy warned of possible attacks "throughout Kenya in the near-term" following the reported death of a key al-Shabaab leader, Adan Garaar.
"Although there is no information about a specific location in Kenya for an attack, U.S. citizens are reminded that the potential for terrorism exists," the warning said.
U.S. boxing fans can get ready to get gouged when they purchase the May 2ndManny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight.

The price breaks the previous pay-per-view record of high of $74.95 for high-definition and $64.95 for standard.
HBOandShowtimeare co-promoting the event. It will be held at theMGM Grand Garden Arenain Las Vegas.
The MGM has barred any other Vegas hotels from showing the fight, ensuring a packed house full of gamblers with deep pockets.
“We aren’t able to air the fight, that’s true," A rep for a major hotel rival told TMZ Sports. "And our guests won’t be able to have it in-room either. It’s a contract the MGM has. Unfortunately, it blacks out non-MGM properties.”
Mayweather will make as much as $200 million to put his welterweight titles on the line. Pacquiao could take home $100 million.
Things are looking up for Ludacris in 2015. He just released his Ludaversal album, stars in the seventh installment of the Fast and Furious movie franchise and lands on two covers of The Source's Spring issue.
In the cover story Luda speaks on being a family man, enjoying success and staying humble.
On being a father and protecting his family:
If you’re talking about me, you’re talking about them. So it’s almost like when you know that back-in-the-day saying about a mother’s strength. Like, a mother’s strength can pull a car off a child. Strengths that you didn’t know you had, you tap into a whole other energy source that you don’t want to really do that. You don’t want to f*ck with that. I’ve never claimed to be the most gangster, or hard-ass rapper. However, when you tap into someting that’s f*cking with me or my family, there’s another side that you’re going to see from me.
On enjoying success, but staying humble:
It’s like the difference between Ludacris and Chris Bridges [...] I’m just a humble dude and I never forget where I come from. I actually enjoy riding in my Acura Legend more than I enjoy riding in the Bentleys and the Range Rovers and the Ferrarris and sh*t like that. That part of myself, I’m never going to let go. That Acura represents a piece of me. Now, on the other hand, I got to flex on motherf*ckers. On one hand, I’m humble and on the other, I got to remind people that I own a plane. Like, I’ve worked hard to get this.

We're about to see what I have to go through just to be a dad. I came to pick my daughter up. I haven't seen her in three or four weeks. It's considered kidnapping just to raise my kid. Y'all gonna see what it's like right now."

According toTMZ, Rachel has filed court documents seeking to end Dame's visitation rights. She claims he kidnapped one of their daughters from a nail salon, is an unfit parent who has kept her child out of school and is a pothead with a history of domestic abuse.
