"Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board."
Captain Gregorio De Falco

bullet Demi Lovato suffers nip-slip at Dallas concert corner

Demi Lovato gave her hometown fans a sterling performance even after she suffered from an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.

While performing one on-stage number, the 19-year-old was decked out in a vintage-inspired dress with tiers of ruffles and a plunging neckline when her left nipple popped out of the cleavage-baring ensemble, the US magazine reported.

However, just like the rest of her recent hardships, the chart-topping singer moved on and continued with her performance, despite the wardrobe malfunction.

The Texas native wrapped up her 11-city tour, "A Special Night with Demi Lovato," in Chicago, on Saturday.

On Sunday, the 'Skyscraper' star returned to the treatment centre where she had received counselling to deal with personal issues a year ago.

"Wow what an inspiring day. Many tears were shed and many memories were brought back at Timberline Knolls today. Today I went back to the treatment center I went to last year, to speak to the beautiful women fighting their inner demons. Was so honored to be able to share my story and let them know that it gets easier. Life is beautiful. You are worthy of it," she posted in a series of tweets. (ANI)

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Dallas news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Dallas Sun is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Dallas.

We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Dallas weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Dallas Sun is for you.

Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
