Amber Rose hit back hard after Kanye West dragged her into his epic Twitter feud with Wiz Khalifa. Quick reminder: West and Rose dated for two years and it would be an understatement to say they are no longer on good terms. Much of this goes back to Rose calling West's now-wife Kim Kardashian a "homewrecker" in 2012, claiming the reality star was the reason for her split with the rapper. While the two have traded barbs over the years, West's insults tend to focus on his ex's sexual history. Though his tweets could be considered a modern form of theater, he fell back on ugly habits and tried to insult Khalifa (from whom Rose filed for divorce after just over a year of marriage in 2014) by referring to their mutual ex as a "stripper" and insinuating she's a gold digger because the two have a son together. Not one to stand down when she's been insulted, Rose didn't hold back when she clapped back: Amber Rose   ✔ @DaRealAmberRose ...

As the devastating Zika virus rampages through the Caribbean and Latin America – and threatens to hit parts of the US such as Florida – more and more questions are being asked about how it can be transmitted. The virus has been linked to birth defects in thousands of Brazilian babies, born with heads smaller than normal and undeveloped brains. Symptoms include a rash, fever, conjunctivitis and headache and to date, 21 countries have been affected. At the moment, there is clear scientific evidence the virus is transmitted by the same type of mosquito that spreads other tropical diseases, such as dengue fever, chikungunya and yellow fever. But there are also fears the virus may be passed on through sex, following two reports in medical literature. One states that Zika was found in the semen of a man from Tahiti, the other that the virus was passed from a husband to his wife after intercourse. But is there really a risk? In a statement issued this week, the World Health Or...
