The Underwear Every Celebrity Wears on the Red Carpet  With the weight of award season upon us, we have to wonder: What sort of underwear do all these celebrities wear with their gorgeous gowns? The brand that gives such a seamless look is one that's easy to find and shop: Commando. Commando is more present on red carpets than any other underwear brand out there. According to celebrity stylist Karla Welch, who has dressed clients like Olivia Wilde and Zooey Deschanel, “Commando is the basis for all of the looks we create. It’s simple, smart, and it’s this little secret that’s available to everyone. It’s rocket science for underwear." Celebrity stylist Mel Ottenberg, who styles Rihanna, agrees: “When it comes to thongs, I always choose Commando. They don’t show, even when the dress is totally sheer and you’re going to see everything.” If it works for Rihanna, Zooey, and Olivia, it works for us!

U.S. accuses Uganda of rights violations after presidential poll

U.S. accuses Uganda of rights violations after presidential poll Uganda has persistently violated the rights of its citizens and media in the aftermath of last month’s presidential election which saw President Yoweri Museveni retain power, the United States said. Reuters reports that the comments are the latest sign of deteriorating relations between Western powers and Uganda, an ally in the fight against Islamists in the region. U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby in a statement condemned Uganda’s repeated detention of opposition figures and harassment of their supporters. He said that the government’s interference in a challenge of the poll results is, “unacceptable activities in a free and democratic society”. The United States and Uganda have a long standing and strong partnership that has contributed to the stability and prosperity of the region. “We are concerned that the Ugandan government’s recent actions could endanger the economic and political progress that has enabled our relationship to grow,” the statement said. Reuters reports that Uganda’s electoral commission declared Museveni, 71, who has been in power since 1986, the winner of the Feb. 18 election with 60 per cent of the vote. Kizza Besigye, who came second with 35 per cent and rejected the results as fraudulent, has been under virtual house arrest for weeks. A second challenger, former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, has filed an official challenge to the results,” Reuters reports. Mbabazi said his lawyers’ offices were raided soon after filing the challenge. The government has denied any involvement. Museveni has endeared himself to the West by contributing thousands of troops to a peacekeeping mission in Somalia. He has also been credited with bringing relative peace and economic growth to Uganda, a prospective oil producer. But critics say Museveni has not done enough to raise more Ugandans out of poverty or address widespread corruption. Monitors from the European Union (EU) have criticised Uganda for creating an “intimidating atmosphere” around the vote and have said the electoral body lacked transparency and independence.
