An iPhone 4 user in Chongqing awoke to find his phone smoldering after it exploded next to him as he slept, Chongqing Morning Post reported on July 10.

"It's still horrible to think I was sleeping right beside it," said Wang Kai, whose phone was now scorched and twisted after it spontaneously-combusted on his bamboo sleeping mat. 

Wang said his roommate Zhang Jie awoke first after hearing the explosion and smelling smoke. He entered the room to find Wang asleep as his pillow, mattress and sleeping mat smoldered from the explosion.

Wang explained his company had bought the phones in bulk and given them out to employees. The iPhone was confirmed to be a genuine Apple product. 

While local police say the fire was caused by faulty parts, Apple has been contacted and is now investigating for user error.

2face and Annie Idibia are keeping the details of their wedding close to their chest...as in...nobody is saying anything... They will be getting married in February...maybe February 14, exactly a year after he popped the question in front of their friends at a night club in VI. I'm not really sure about the Feb 14th date, but here's what I am sure about; Annie's wedding dress will be made by Yvonne Nwosu of Vonne Couture and I also know that Annie has already met with some of her brides maids, which includes actress Kendra Etufunwa and TV personality Tana Egbo Adelana. 

Their traditional wedding will hold in Nigeria, maybe Abuja and the white wedding might hold outside the country. I heard 'exotic Caribbean Island', maybe Barbados. Their wedding IVs will be going out soon! Like I said, people close to the couple are refusing to say much...but it's me and them in this Lagos! We shall see.
