Lupita Nyong'o is one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year.

That's no surprise to most people: The actress won an Oscar for "12 Years a Slave" this year and has been popping up on "best dressed" and "most beautifull" lists ever since.

Lupita: A Cinderella for everybody

Nevertheless, she tells the magazine hat the attention she's received has been overwhelming

"Right now I'm still adjusting. I guess I feel catapulted into a different place; I have a little whiplash," she said. "I did have a dream to be an actress, but I didn't think about being famous. And I haven't yet figured out how to be a celebrity; that's something I'm learning, and I wish there were a course on how to handle it."

She couldn't even imagine what winning the Oscar would be like, she observed.

The first human trial of an experimental Ebola vaccine has produced promising results, U.S. scientists said, raising hopes that protection from the deadly disease may be on the horizon.

All 20 healthy adults who received the vaccine in a trial run by researchers from the National Institutes of Health in Maryland produced an immune response and developed anti-Ebola antibodies, the NIH said Wednesday.

None suffered serious side effects, although two people developed a brief fever within a day of vaccination.

The vaccine is being developed by the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. The process has been fast-tracked in light of the current catastrophic Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which has claimed more than 5,000 lives.

How a tragic accident turned fatal for Phil Hughes

The shocking death of Phil Hughes, just days before the popular Australia cricketer would have turned 26, has left the sports world wondering one thing: How could this happen?

Hughes was wearing a helmet, but in a freak combination of circumstances, his head was turned away from the ball as it bounced up to him.

Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) and his entourage, was yesterday allegedly denied landing rights by the authorities of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

Meet The 22 Year Old Who Is Confused For Rihanna

22-year-old Andele Lara from Boston is blessed with a look that’s just like Rihanna’s. Andele in an interview with Daily Mail said she noticed in her sophomore year when people started commenting that she looks like the Barbadian superstar.

She looks so much like Rihanna that she gets mobbed by screaming fans. She is also cashing out on the look as brands are paying her to model and advertise for them.

“I know I could happily give up my part-time job and studies to have a career as a Rihanna lookalike,” Lara told the Daily Mail.

She says she’s paid $20,000 by clothing companies to endorse their products, and has also landed contracts to promote sneakers, mascara, and hair accessories with very little effort.

All that’s left is for Andele Lara to meet Rihanna in person “I would love to meet RiRi and take a selfie with her!” she gushes,
A fan once unknowingly posted an image of Lara on Instagram with the caption, “Rare pic of Rihanna,” obviously not knowing any better, and it caught Rih’s attention. She commented on it “OH?!,” causing hundreds of followers and some nasty comments to blow up Lara’s Instagram feed
