LONDON - Pakistani-British boxer Amir Khan is currently on a reality show, "I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" In a recent interview with BBC Asian Network, the 30-year-old clarified that once he comes home from work, it’s his wife’s job to cook for him.“I would never cook,” said Khan as he chatted with another man who cooked for his wife if she’d be at work. “In my culture, women, that’s their job to do the cooking.

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. - When a man found the only worker at an empty South Carolina Waffle House asleep, he took his meal into his own hands. On Facebook , Alex Bowen chronicled with selfies how he made his own double Texas cheese steak melt at the famous Southern 24-7 diner around 2 a.m. over the weekend.
