Viktor Orban, who considers the Hungarian-born Soros an ideological rival, said that Central European University, founded in 1991, is “cheating” with its unfair advantage over Hungarian universities because its diplomas are accepted in both Hungary and the U.S.

WWE “Total Divas” star Paige issued an official statement on Twitter Monday after her sex tape and nude photos were leaked in a massive hack March 15, which was dubbed the Fappening 2.0. After a short tweet two days after her photos and video leaked, Paige elaborated on the stolen images.
Paige, 24, said she contemplated “physically harming” herself when her private property was stolen. She credited her family, and soon-to-be husband, Alberto Del Rio, with helping her get through the incident.
In the wake of the nude photo hacking scandal, dubbed “Fappening 2.0,” that has so far targeted A-list celebrities including Emma Watson, Amanda Seyfried and many other, actress Scarlett Johansson addressed the photo leak during her appearance on Monday’s “The Howard Stern Show.”
The “Lucy” actress was targeted in 2011 when her cellphone was hacked and private photos were distributed on the internet. The hacker, Christopher Chaney, faced 10 years in federal prison for illegally obtaining the photos from Johansson’s email and also targeting other celebrities, like Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilera.

When Arthur Langerman was two, his parents were sent to Auschwitz. As his collection of antisemitic works opens in Normandy, he explains his obsession.
The drawing is detailed, dramatic and disgusting. Called The Jew, Universal Enemy, it shows Christ on the cross and churches in flames, overseen by a sinister, red-lipped, voracious face. Philipp Rupprecht, better known as Fips, composed this caricature for the notorious Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer in 1937. He also illustrated a 1938 children’s book Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom), intended to educate young Germans about the Jewish menace.
Rupprecht was sentenced to 10 years hard labour after the war. His work is among 150 pieces of antisemitic propaganda – posters, drawings and objects – on show at the Caen-Normandy Memorial Museum, in an exhibition called Heinous Cartoons 1886-1945: The Antisemitic Corrosion in Europe. They depict sinister, red-faced, obese capitalists smoking cigars on the backs of oppressed workers. They show grotesque communists clamping chains on a suffering Aryan. They portray Jews as rats and vermin. As the dates in the title suggest, the exhibition chronicles how anti-semitism grew at the end of the 19th century and reached a horrible culmination in the Holocaust.
