Kim Kardashian now holds the record of most liked post on Instagram, beating previous record holder Justin Bieber. The reality star’s photo from her wedding to Kanye West, which was uploaded three days ago, so far has garnered 1.93 million likes.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star and her rapper husband are currently enjoying their honeymoon after tying the knot in Florence, Italy on May 24. The newlyweds jetted to Ireland on Sunday:
On Thursday, May 29, Kardashian and West landed in Prague, Czech Republic.

Some Palestinian fans apparently got angry over Justin Timberlake‘s Instagram post. Prior to his concert in Tel Aviv on May 28, the award-winning singer shared a photo of him at the Western Wall.

He captioned the snap, “The Holy Land… What an experience. I will never forget this day. #Israel.”

Some fans who do not like the post voiced their opinion in the comment section. One Instagram user wrote, “There was never an Israel, this was always Palestine.” Another wrote, “Israel is defiantly not holy land. they kill [Palestinians] every single day for nothing!”
The concert organizer sold 44,000 tickets for the gig which took place at Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park.

An explosion on an oil tanker off the Japanese coast set off a huge fire Thursday and left the vessel’s captain missing.

Ships and aircraft battled the blaze on the Shoko Maru, a 998-ton tanker anchored about 5 kilometers (3 miles) off the port of Himeji in western Japan, the coast guard said.

Rescuers have recovered seven members of the eight-person crew, the coast guard said, but the ship’s 64-year-old captain is still missing.

Four of the rescued crew remembers were seriously injured in the blast, the Himeji fire department said, and all seven of them were taken to hospitals after arriving in the port, which is about 75 kilometers (45 miles) west of Osaka on the Seto Inland Sea.

The tanker wasn’t loaded when the blast went off Thursday morning, the coast guard said, reducing fears of a major environmental disaster.

The coast guard said it was still investigating the cause the explosion on the ship, which belongs to Shoho Shopping Co. Ltd, a company based in Hiroshima, Japan.

Add Krakow to the growing list of cities who do not want to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The Polish city withdrew its bid this week after residents overwhelmingly voted against the plan, according to the Associated Press.

Now only four cities remain in the bidding process, and two of those may soon be ruled out — leaving only Kazakhstan and China as contenders.

Krakow had proposed co-hosting the games with neighboring Slovakia, but more than 70 percent of the voters in Krakow’s referendum said they did not want to host the event.

It is the latest city to reject the opportunity to host the games: Stockholm, Sweden, withdrew its bid in January citing cost; voters in Munich, Germany, rejected a proposal to host the games citing “greed” of the International Olympic Committee; and voters rejected a bid for Davos and St. Moritz to jointly hold the games.

The rash of rejections could be attributed to the rising cost of hosting the games.

The 2014 Olympics in Sochi, for example, ran up a bill of about $51 billion, while the 2008 Beijing Games cost nearly $40 billion.

The proposal to host in Oslo, Norway, faces steep opposition from voters and from one-half of the coalition government, while the city of Lviv, Ukraine, is considered unlikely due to political unrest in the country.

Almaty, Kazakhstan, and Beijing, China remain as the two cities which still seem to want to host the Winter Games.

The IOC is set to meet in six weeks in Switzerland to select a short list of finalists.

A pregnant woman is beaten to death by her relatives outside a court building. Her crime? To elope with the man she loved rather than marry the groom chosen by her family.

The terrible fate of Farzana Parveen, 25, is one shared by all too many women in Pakistan and elsewhere.

She was killed in the name of “honor,” on the grounds her actions had brought shame on her family.

According to a report published in April by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, 869 women in the country were the victims of honor killings last year. And activists say the true number may be much higher.

Parveen’s brutal killing is all the more shocking because it was so public.

She was beaten to death with bricks close to the high court in the eastern city of Lahore by a group of about 20 people, including her brothers, father and cousin, police said.

So-called honor killings often originate from tribal traditions in Pakistan, but are not a part of Islam. Although they’re common in rural areas, Tuesday’s attack in a public area of a big city was unusual.

A fire broke out at a South Korean hospital for the elderly early Wednesday, killing 21 people — most of them patients in their 70s and 80s who had difficulty walking.

Police said that after examining video footage, they had detained a patient suffering from dementia whom they suspect of starting the blaze in the southern county of Jangseong.

The man, who is in his early 80s and was identified only by his surname of Kim, denies causing the fire, said Roh Gyu-ho, the head of Jangseong Police Station.

Although the fire was put out quickly, many of the victims, unable to move around easily, were believed to have been killed by asphyxiation from toxic fumes that filled the second floor of the two-story building.

Twenty patients and a nurse died, the National Emergency Management Agency said, and eight people were injured, six of them seriously.

The head of the hospital, Lee Hyong-seok, apologized Wednesday in front of television cameras.
