Court halts Rihanna shooting case for mental health review

Court halts Rihanna shooting case for mental health review ALos Angeles judge has suspended the attempted murder case against Ivanna Ortiz, the woman accused of firing 20 shots at Rihanna’s home, after finding evidence to question her mental competency, according to correspondence.

Burj Khalifa is losing its crown as the world’s tallest building Here’s why Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa may soon be knocked off its title as the world’s tallest building. At 828 metres tall, the city’s most famous landmark could soon be overtaken by two upcoming projects in Saudi Arabia. Rise Tower, a proposed mega-project in Riyadh, is planned to be two kilometres in height but is currently still in the planning stage. However, the Jeddah Economic Tower continues to gather pace, having recently reached the 370m mark.
