Belgium's Romelu Lukaku 'very pleased' with Thierry Henry's impact

Romelu Lukaku is enjoying working under Belgium coach Thierry Henry, whose direct style is helping him to improve and become a better player.

Lukaku has scored three goals in three games for Belgium since Roberto Martinez became manager and appointed Henry as a coach.

"I think he [Henry] teaches me a lot. He is very direct with me," Lukaku told reporters. "I know what I'm doing well, when I am doing something wrong he tells me as well. I am very pleased with his help here.

"I think he helps us, the strikers, and also the team to have a certain concentration when we are on the pitch.

"He's won it all so when someone like him talks, you listen."

Lukaku is also enjoying a second spell under the management of Martinez, whom he previously worked with at Everton.

"We do it with the manager too," he added. "He teaches us a lot tactically, offensively and defensively, so I think the future looks bright for us."

Kyle Jenner Resumes Lifestyle in PostRobbery Aftermath

Overall, Kim's sisters have been abnormally quiet on the social media front except for Kylie, whose accounts don't indicate that anything is a miss. Khloe Kardashian, who was spotted getting ready to fly out of L.A. today with three bodyguards in tow, has had a couple of business-related tweets and Instagrams go up this week, but they could have just as easily been pre-set to post.

Kylie hasn't been up to anything extraordinarily celebratory since Monday, her selfies and Snapchats indicating the continuation of her usual routine a hair color change, hanging with friends, cuddling her dogs. She and Tyga took his son, King, for burgers yesterday at the Calabasas Commons, their usual stomping grounds. 

Normal stuff. Business as usual. But is that weird, considering?

Grey's Anatomy Star turns Bisexual!!!!

Sara Ramirez is known for keeping her private life pretty private, but this morning, the Grey's Anatomy star shared something very intimate during a powerful speech.

The actress, who is best known for her role as Dr. Callie on the Shonda Rhimes series, came out as bisexual while speaking at the True Colors: 40 to None Summit, a two-day conversation that addresses LGBT youth homelessness across the country, on Saturday morning in Los Angeles.

"So many of our youth experiencing homelessness are youth whose lives touch on many intersections whether they be gender identity, gender expression, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship status," Ramirez said.

"And, because of the intersections that exist in my own life: Woman, multi-racial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican and Irish sides, I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth's voices to be heard, and that support our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to."

Ramirez, who married husband Ryan DeBolt in 2011, has never openly spoken about her sexuality, but has admitted in the past that it comes to question because of her bisexual character on Grey's.

Melanie Okays Trump Apologies...Donald Trump Says His Not Quitting the Race

GOP candidate's wife issues unprecedented rebuke of her husband

Donald Trump’s wife condemned his lewd comments about women that were revealed on video , saying in a statement released by the Trump campaign that she hopes the nation will accept his apology.

“The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me,” Mrs. Trump said. “This does .not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world.”

Mrs. Trump’s statement represents the latest extraordinary step in the Trump campaign’s damage-control efforts. Never in modern presidential politics has a candidate’s spouse publicly rebuked them.

The Trumps were married months before the video of Mr. Trump bragging about his sexual exploits with other women was recorded. At the time of the recording Mrs. Trump was pregnant with the couple’s son, Barron.

Donald Trump, under pressure to step aside as the Republican presidential candidate after the disclosure of his having made lewd comments about women, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Saturday that there is “zero chance I’ll quit.”
