Drake Graduates From High School At 25, 10 Years After Dropping Out

Apparently, money isn't everything. Rap superstar Drake may rank No. 6 on "Forbes"'s Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, earning $20.5 from May 2011 to May 2012, but he had some equally important unfinished business to settle — completing his high school education.

The "Best I Ever Had" rapper, who dropped out of Canada's prestigious Vaughan Road Academy at the age of 15 to co-star on the Canadian TV show "Degrassi: The Next Generation," has spent the last five months finishing his studies and is now a graduate.

Guy hires woman for £5-an-hour to SLAP him if he uses Facebook

A COMPUTER programmer has hired a woman to SLAP him if he uses Facebook at work - in a bid to boost his productivity.

And he reckons employing a £5-an-hour worker called Kara has helped quadruple his daily output.

2 neighbors developed elephantiasis after being bitten by mosquitoes.

Neighbours ... Busisiwe Zulu, left, and Esther Ntshanlintshali, right, both suffer from elephantiasis

TWO neighbors have been bedridden for years suffering from a rare leg-swelling disease in the first case of its kind.

Esther Ntshanlintshali and Busisiwe Zulu developed elephantiasis after being bitten by mosquitos.

The pair live a stone’s throw from each other — and thought to be the first case of sufferers living so close.

Esther, 69, has been bedbound for 12 years since the condition made her legs swell to four times their normal size.

She said: "I have battled this disease for a long time. I cannot move around in my house or go outside. It is so difficult and painful."

And mum-of-three Busisiwe, 53, has been suffering the same for 18 years in Alexandra township in South Africa.

Her daughter Mbali, 32, said: "She is trapped in this room and always in pain."

The disease - made famous by John Hurt's portrayal of real-life sufferer John Merrick in 1980 film The Elephant Man - is caused by a parasite carried by mosquitos.

RAPPER NAS

Lost His Georgia Home ... Sold At Auction

Life's a bitch ... Nas sang it and now he's living it ... because besides being knee deep in tax debt, TMZ has learned the rapper just lost his Georgia crib to foreclosure.  

According to official records, Nas purchased the 2-bedroom, 3-bath pad back in 2004 for $585,000 ... but according to SunTrust bank (which issued him the loan) ... Nas couldn't foot the bill and defaulted on the payments, still owing $507,000. 

SunTrust recently foreclosed on the property and then sold it to the highest bidder at public auction last month for $348,500 ... WAY LESS than the rapper paid eight years ago. 

It's a steal for the new owner -- the house is over 3,500 square feet with a walk-in pool and hot tub ... granite counter-tops ... custom theater ... gym and game room. 

Life is a big fat bitch<< Sorry for NAS
