Netanyahu Tells AIPAC That US-Israel Alliance Is Strong

En route to what he described as a "fateful mission," Benjamin Netanyahu spent much of his 12-hour flight to Washington slouched in a business class seat laboring over a draft of his highly anticipated address to Congress. In the back of the plane, the rest of the delegation was watching "The Imitation Game," a biopic of British cryptanalyst Alan Turing, who helped break the Germans' Enigma code and aided the allies' victory in World War II.

The symbolism was hard to ignore. Netanyahu considers himself to be a visionary who foresaw the Iranian nuclear threat long ago, and hopes that blocking it from attaining a bomb will be his crowning achievement in government.

With no invitation to the White House and the vice president and secretary of state out of the country, Netanyahu kicked off the visit before a friendly home crowd Monday a pro-Israel U.S. lobby group and tried to downplay the crisis with President Barack Obama as a family spat.

"America and Israel are more than friends. We're like a family. We're practically mishpucha," he said to laughter, using the Yiddish expression for family. "Now, disagreements in the family are always uncomfortable, but we must always remember that we are family."

Despite the expressions of affection, the family spat will be on full view on Tuesday when he addresses Congress. Not only will Republican House Speaker John Boehner who invited him behind the president's back be sitting behind him, the senior Republican senator, Orrin Hatch, will be stationed where Vice President Joe Biden would normally sit.

Biden went to Latin America; Secretary of State John Kerry was in Montreux, Switzerland, meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.

Following Monday's AIPAC speech, Netanyahu was expected to keep working on his speech till the very last minute trying to live up to the hype that has been created over the controversial address.

"You know, never has so much been written about a speech that hasn't been given," he told attendees of the American Israel Political Action Committee policy conference.

Boehner is planning a festive greeting for Netanyahu Tuesday and will present him a bust of Winston Churchill, the only other foreign leader to address Congress three times.

Netanyahu often cites Churchill as an inspiration and the world leader he most admires.

Netanyahu's office says the Israeli leader will give Boehner a menorah and a copy of the story of Purim, a Jewish holiday being celebrated this week that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire where a plot had been formed to destroy them. The gift is symbolic in that Iran has vowed to annihilate Israel.

Watch Ronda Rousey beat Cat Zingano in 14 seconds in UFC 184 (updated)

On Friday, Ronda Rousey tweeted that she had never been more ready in her life for her UFC 184 championship fight against Cat Zingano and, on Saturday night, the world learned just what that meant.

Zingano came out charging and Rousey floored her with an armbar, winning the bantamweight fight in 14 seconds in the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It was tied, according to UFC, for the fastest submission in UFC history and was the fastest win in a UFC title fight.

It was a stunningly quick finish, even for a fighter of Rouseys unquestioned ability, and it came against Zingano, one of the few fighters believed to have a chance at ending her undefeated streak. But Rousey (11-0 in Mixed Martial Arts, 5-0 in UFC) extended her dominance of 2014, when she needed 1 minute, 22 seconds in two fights combined to defend her belt.

[Related:What's next forRousey? A movie, then another fight]We expected she might do something like flying right at me . . . but I have faster transition than anyone because my mom taught me, Rousey said afterward (via the Los Angeles Times) of her judo-fighting mother.

Zingano (9-1) was ready to go at it again, in spite of the finish. I want to do it again. . . . She had my arm, I saw her leg, went to grab it, and all of a sudden, Im tapping [out], she said. I just want to do it again.

[Related: Rousey says she'd like to give Zingano a rematch]

Rouseys latest win set Twitter on fire.

You get the idea. It was a breath-taking finish. And now what does Rousey do? Well, next up is a movie role, according to the UFCs Dana White (via Fox Sports), then her next fight will be scheduled. Rousey, though, told the Washington Posts Rick Maese that she understands fighting is most important for now.

I always prioritize fighting first, Rousey said. Everything comes from fighting. The only reason Hollywood is interested in me at all is because I fight and I win. So I have to protect that.

For now, she was happy just to celebrate the moment.

Khloe Kardashian Shows Off New Blonde Hairstyle Amid Reports That She ...

Khloe Kardashian is stepping away from her familys signature long raven locks with her brand new hair style. The reality star debuted her new blonde hair this weekend amid reports of a possible new hosting gig. Khloe is being pegged to be a possible replacement for Kelly Osbourne on E Channels show Fashion Police.

Khloe took to her Instagram site over the weekend to show off her new light hair colour. She posted a photo of herself and captioned the shot: I'm in love with my blonde hair!!! @traceycunningham1you killed it with this color!!! According to E Online, Tracey Cunningham is the celebrity hairstylist who is also responsible for colouring the crowning glories of other stars like Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz and Emma Stone, who also went blonde for her role in The Amazing Spider-man.

Khloe has always had lighter hair than her siblings who all have jet black hair like their mother. Veering away from the signature Kardashian-Jenner look, Khloe has played around with her hair colour over the years and has gone even lighter than her natural hair colour on several occasions.

Meanwhile, as Khloe debuts her new hairstyle and her family gets ready for the Season 10 premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, new reports have surfaced about a possible new job opportunity for the reality star. According to the Daily Mail, Kelly Osbourne has decided to quit her job as one of the hosts of Fashion Police. The report states that Khloe Kardashian is one of the frontrunners being considered to replace the British host. Osbourne reportedly quit the show after her co-host Giuliana Rancic made hurtful comments towards Zendaya Colemans hair. Rancic said it must smell like patchouli oil or weed.

According to a report by Us Weekly, Khloe and Nene Leakes are now being considered as Osbournes replacement. Incidentally, Khloe was with Kelly and Giuliana during the Oscars coverage where Zendaya sported her controversial hairstyle. Khloe has had previous experience as a host in the reality talent show X-Factor. She has also hosted a couple of radio shows and a podcast over the years. It remains to be seen if she will land the job as the new Fashion Police host. The show has been going through several cast changes in the months following Joan Rivers death. She was eventually replaced by comedienne Kathy Griffin.

Is Khloe Kardashian Joining E!'s 'Fashion Police?'

Could Khloe Kardashian be added to the cast of E!s Fashion Police? According to a new report, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is in talks to join the show, possibly replacing Kelly Osbourne on Giuliana Rancic.

As the Inquisitr previously reported, scandal rocked the set of Fashion Police after Rancic was accused of making racist remarks against Zendaya Colemans hair. The incident led Coleman to speak out in an elaborate social media post, and a short time later, Osbourne threatened to quit in a series of tweets.

During the on air diss, someone allegedly claimed Colemans hair may have smelled like weed, to which Osbourne, a friend of Khloe Kardashian, claimed, I DID NOT MAKE THE WEED COMENT. I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM SEREIOULSY QUESTIONONIG STAYING ON THE SHOW! [sic]

After Colemans post was made, Rancic apologized on air for her comments, and Coleman seemingly accepted her apology in a second post.

On February 27, a source revealed the following regarding Khloe Kardashians possible addition to the show to Radar Online.

[Khloe Kardashian] is now in talks to join Fashion Police as a cast member. Having done several gigs as a special correspondent, Khloe absolutely loves being a part of Fashion Police.

Khloe Kardashian has made guest appearances on the E! show, and the filming staff is reportedly on board with her joining the series.

The crew truly likes working with [Khloe Kardashian] because she doesnt take herself to seriously and is a true professional. With [Khloe Kardashian], there is no drama, she arrives ready to go.

The source revealed that the Kardashian familys newly signed $100 million deal may include an option in [Khloe Kardashians] contract to have a larger role with Fashion Police.

In other Khloe Kardashian news, the reality star is reportedly on the verge of giving her husband, Lamar Odom, a second chance. In a report by E! News this week, it was revealed Odom had recently surfaced in Los Angeles. The former NBA player hadnt been photographed for five months before he was seen hiking at a local park.

Khloe Kardashian married Odom in 2009, and filed for divorce in 2013, months after reports claimed he was using drugs and cheating on her with multiple women.

The couple has yet to address rumors of a possible reconciliation.

Khloe Kardashian returns to E! in Keeping Up With The Kardashians Season 10 on March 15 at 9 p.m.

UFC 184 results, photos: Ronda Rousey needs just 14 seconds to tap Cat Zingano

LOS ANGELES Ronda Rousey extended her reign as UFC womens bantamweight champion in characteristically dominant fashion, submittingCat Zingano in 14 seconds to defend her title a fifth time.

Rousey (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC), 28, finished her opponent even faster than in her previous title defense, a 16-second railroading of Alexis Davis this past July. It was her 11th straight win and ninth via armbar, which she applied as Zingano (9-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) charged her in the opening seconds of UFC 184s headliner.

The womens bantamweight title bout was the main event of todays UFC 184 event at Staples Center in Los Angeles. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. UFC President Dana White said today the event is expected to generate a live gate of $2.7 million and was trending toward success on pay-per-view.

Zingano, 32, threw a flying knee and then applied a headlock to take Rousey to the mat. But while in motion, the champion reversed position and then scrambled to Zinganos back. At the same time, Rousey isolated the challengers arm, setting up a straight armbar that forced a quick tap from Zingano.

It was the fastest submission in UFC title fight history, beating Frank Shamrocks 16-secondarmbarof Kevin Jacksonat UFC 15.5.

We were expecting that she might just come out and just do something flying at me right away, Rousey said afterward. I originally thought I was going to check (the punch and throw a) left hook, but I just caught her instead. I was actually working on that armbar, not at that angle, but hey, it works.

Zinging, who suffered the first loss of her professional career and overcame great personal tragedy to fight for the title, was in shock at the turns of events and struggled to contain her emotions.

I want to do it again, she said. Just f-ck.

She had my arm, and I saw her leg, she added. It was in, but it wasnt in. F-ck. She f-cking won. She did it. That was a good armbar.

Rouseys dominance inevitably prompted the question of what was next for her career. She has only been past the first round once in five UFC fights and has never been in danger inside the UFCs octagon.

Honestly, I was impressed by Holly Holm tonight, said Rousey, referring to former the former boxing champs successful debut in the nights co-headliner. Ive always liked to test myself against that level of striking. Bethe Correia, shes undefeated Id like to take that 0 away from her.

Correia, 31, has beaten two of of Rouseys teammates in the UFC and called repeatedly for a shot at the champ. She attended tonights event and said backstage prior to the event that she would do whatever it takes to secure a title shot.

With few ready-made contenders left, however, Correia might not need to press too much to get her wish.

Ronda Rousey def. Cat Zingano via submission (armbar) Round 1, 0:14
