She's certainly not shy! Jersey Shore's Deena Cortese tweets selfies of her brand new bikini body

A healthy change: Jersey Shore alum Deena Cortese took to Twitter on Tuesday to show off her newly slimmed down figure
In one of the snaps she can be seen smiling while standing near an emerald swimming pool as she sports a chunky pair of sunglasses.

The self-portrait was taken while reclining on a deck chair and shows the smooth contours of her yellow bikini clad body.


She captioned the snap: 'Just got home from the beach now laying near chris' pool...love you summer'

Deena revealed last October that she has lost a total of 15 pounds and went from a size 8 to a size 4.

Quite the change: Deena has lost over 15lbs since she was on The Jersey Shore, pictured in July 2011
The change comes after completing her stint on The Jersey Shore, where she earned a reputation as a hard partier who had quite an impressive tolerance for alcohol and late night food binging.
'I’ve always struggled with my body image,' she told InTouch last year.
'My weight was getting out of control, and I knew it was time to do something about it.'
Debut: The New Jersey native showed off her brand new figure with a Twitter snap in April that displayed all of her hard work
Adding that part of her inspiration to lose weight came from a negative source: 'If you’re a little heavy, online bullies will treat you like crap. It’s sad. And it really hurts.'
Nearly six months after her reality series finished, the star is happily living at home with her mother in New Jersey, well away from the spotlight.
'Normal people who are on reality shows don’t want to go back to normal life,' she told the New York Post in a recent interview. 'I’m one of the rare ones.'
'Lucky for me,' she says, 'I always kept in my head: "This is gonna be over soon. I’m not gonna forget who I am.'"

Rapper Fat Joe sentenced to four months in prison for failing to pay taxes on more than $1million in income

Failed to file his taxes: Fat Joe pleaded guilty to the tax charges in 2012, and on Monday was sentenced to four months in prison, starting August 26

Fat Joe, who topped hip hop charts with singles such as What's Luv (with Ashanti and Ja Rule), had failed to file income taxes for two years.


Federal prosecutors said that the government's total tax loss from the rapper over the period was $718,038.


The Lean Back star is CEO of Terror Squad which is the company via which he earned much of the $3million he made from 2007-2010.
'I worked so hard to not end up in court': the rapper apologized to his friends, family and supporters who filled the courtroom and talked about his upbringing in a rough neighborhood

The courtroom was filled with family and friends and Fat Joe took the opportunity to speak out after his sentence was delivered.


He spoke about growing up in a housing project in the Bronx in NYC where he was surrounded by drugs, guns and 'violence all around.'


'I did everything I could to achieve what I could, to move my family; I tried to stay positive, focus on the positive, and get myself out,' the rapper said.
Happier days: the rapper was performing in France just days before the hearing in the New Jersey courtroom on Monday

He is known for speaking out publicly about his efforts to lose weight and speaking in schools about to children about obesity-related issues and the importance of health and fitness.


As the hip hop icon continued his apology to his supporters, he said: 'I guess I'm surprised, caused I worked so hard to not end up in court, that I'm here,' and that "This is the last place I thought I would be.'


Fat Joe is set to go to prison by August 26, and he has also been fined $15,000.

Obama's Africa trip could cost $60M-$100M

Presidential trips are expensive, and President Obama's journey to Africa this month will in no way be an exception.

The Washington Post estimates that Obama's Africa trip could cost $60 million to $100 million, citing a person familiar with the details who cited previous presidential missions to Africa.

A more precise estimate is impossible because details about the president's security are classified.

"The infrastructure that accompanies the president's travels is beyond our control," Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser for strategic communication, told the Post. "The security requirements are not White House-driven, they are Secret Service-driven."
"Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of an emergency.

"Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bullet­proof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the president's airspace, so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.

"The elaborate security provisions -- which will cost the government tens of millions of dollars -- are outlined in a confidential internal planning document obtained by The Washington Post.

"While the preparations appear to be in line with similar travels in the past, the document offers an unusual glimpse into the colossal efforts to protect the U.S. commander in chief on trips abroad."

MAREKANI YATOA ONYO KALI KWA MSAFARA WA RAIS OBAMA TANZANIA

Dar es Salaam. Licha ya ujumbe wa Rais wa Marekani, Barrack Obama kutarajiwa kufikia katika hoteli kubwa zenye hadhi wakati kiongozi huyo atakapowasili nchini Julai Mosi mwaka huu, Ikulu ya Marekani imetoa tahadhari ya vyakula ambavyo hawatakiwi kuvigusa wakiwa nchini ikiwa ni pamoja na kutumia maji ya bomba.
Mbali na tahadhari hiyo, ziara hiyo ya Obama itakuwa na ulinzi mkubwa ambao pengine haujawahi kutokea katika historia ya viongozi wa nje wanaotembelea Tanzania kwani utahusisha idadi kubwa ya magari, ndege za kijeshi na meli kubwa ya kivita ambazo zitakuwa zikifanya doria karibu na pwani ya Tanzania.
Tahadhari za matumizi ya chakula, maji na nyinginezo zimetolewa katika nchi zote tatu za Afrika ambazo Obama atatembelea, kila moja kwa jinsi Wamarekani hao wanavyoitathmini.
Rais Obama atatembelea nchi za Tanzania, Senegal na Afrika Kusini.
Ulinzi
Vyombo vya usalama vya Marekani vimejipanga kuhakikisha ziara ya kiongozi huyo haivurugwi kwa namna yoyote ile. Tayari ndege za jeshi zilizobeba magari ya akiba 56, yakiwemo 14 aina ya ‘Cadillac One’ maalumu kwa ajili ya kiongozi huyo, yamewasili katika nchi hizo tatu za Afrika atakazotembelea.
Kwa mujibu wa gazeti la Washington Post la Marekani, ndege hizo pia zimebeba malori matatu ambayo yamesheheni karatasi maalumu za kuzuia risasi kupenya kwenye vioo, zitakazobandikwa kwenye madirisha ya hoteli ambazo Rais Obama na ujumbe wake watafikia.
Kwa mujibu wa gazeti hilo, mamia ya mashushushu wa Marekani tayari wako katika nchi hizo. Meli maalumu za kubeba ndege za kivita, maarufu kwa jina la ‘amphibious ship,’ ikiwa na hospitali maalumu na yenye vifaa vyote itaweka nanga baharini, jirani na nchi atakayokuwa Rais Obama, tayari kukabiliana na dharura yoyote itakayotokea. Gazeti hilo liliandika kuwa ndege za kivita za Marekani zitakuwa zikipeana zamu kufanya doria kwa saa 24, katika anga la nchi ambayo Rais Obama atakuwepo, iwapo ndege za ‘adui’ zitakaribia eneo linaloitwa ‘anga ya rais.’ Kwa mujibu wa gazeti hilo, ziara ya Rais Obama aliyoifanya hivi karibuni katika nchi za Ujerumani na Ireland Kaskazini, japo kulikuwa na gharama kwa walinzi, lakini safari za nchi za Afrika zimeelezwa kuwa na gharama kubwa zaidi.
Tahadhari
Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya maelekezo ya Ikulu ya Marekani, ambayo Mwananchi imepata nakala yake, watu watakaokuwa kwenye msafara wa Obama wametakiwa kutotumia kachumbari. Pia imewataka kutumia maji ya chupa zaidi.
“Kutokana na mfumo wa maji uliopo, tunashauri watu wetu kutumia maji ya chupa zaidi kwa kunywa na hata kwa kupiga mswaki,” ilisema taarifa hiyo.
Kwa kuelewa fika tatizo la ugonjwa wa malaria nchini, ujumbe wa Obama umeshauriwa kutumia dawa ya mbu ya kupaka na kupuliza inayoitwa Deet.


Deet ni dawa maarufu huko Marekani na ikiwa katika aina tofauti ikiwamo ya kupaka na kupuliza na imekuwa ikitumiwa na jeshi la Marekani kwenye vita mbalimbali tangu miaka ya 1940 kabla ya kuanza kutumiwa na raia mwaka 1957.
ATM nazo noma
Pia watu watakaokuwa kwenye msafara wa Rais Obama wametakiwa kuhakikisha wanatumia mashine za kutolea fedha (ATM) zilizoko karibu na hoteli watakazofikia.
“Kuna tatizo la uhalifu kwa hiyo siyo vizuri kutumia ATM ambazo ziko katika sehemu zisizo salama. Pia katika kipindi watakachokuwa Tanzania watu wanapaswa kutumia teksi ambazo zimeidhinishwa na hoteli.
“Pia siyo vizuri kuacha kompyuta ya fedha kwenye vyumba mtakavyolala. Pia kina mama wanapaswa kuchukua tahadhari ya mabegi yao watakapokuwa wanapita mitaani,” ilitahadharisha taarifa hiyo.

Marekani yatoa onyo kali kwa msafara wa Rais Obama Da
