Harrison Ford has been a Hollywood heartthrob since he first lit up the screen as hunky Han Solo in 1977’s Star Wars. As a friend of Francis Ford Coppola, Melissa often visited the set of Apocalypse Now, where she met Harrison, per ABC. During her appearance at the 2002 Golden Globes, Calista met Harrison and the two immediately hit it off.

Unfortunate news coming in is that a popular American Instagram model who had been in Ghana in the last few days has reportedly died. Circumstances surrounding the death of Tyger Booty, (real name, Dasani Williams), the popular exotic model renowned on x-rated platforms, remain unclear as no authority in Ghana has been able to provide any credible information on the case yet. It is unclear now if that tweet was replied to, and what the contents of the message the model sent to the Embassy was about. While ghgossip.com reports that the highly sought-after model from Atlanta, GA, was discovered dead in her hotel room in Accra from a drug overdose or suicide, a woman by the name of Bella Stalutti-Jones, who claims to be a close friend of the exotic model, has refuted these claims. According to the friend, Tyger’s death could not have been caused by drugs since she wasn’t a user, adding that the exotic model did not drink alcohol either.

The Service has also stated that it will go after any such leaders whose prophecies will cause harm, danger, and the death of any individual or group without any tangible truths to those prophecies. These prophecies, which have become an annual ritual during end-of-year all-night church services in the country, have given room for many concerns since they usually cause a lot of fear. It will be recalled that the Ghana Police Service, led by the Inspector General of Police, hinted that they are not against prophecies, re-emphasizing the public’s right to religion, their freedom to worship and free speech. However, the law enforcement agency has stated that such rights should not undermine the laws of this country or unnecessarily infringe on other people’s rights to live. “A person found guilty under these laws could be liable to a term of imprisonment of up to five years,” the statement added.
