EMEKA IKE HAS BEEN SENDING THUGS TO TORMENT US—AGN BOT

The crisis rocking the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) may not end anytime soon if information reaching us is anything to go by. On Monday, March 16, 2015, a Federal High Court in Lagos ruled that the election that ushered in Ibinabo Fiberesima into office as AGN president was null and void because it violated an earlier court order, which directed status quo to be maintained. An actor, St Maradona Mikevine, had taken the matter to court seeking the dissolution of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of AGN and the removal of Ibinabo from office as president of the guild. The court ruled in his favour. And since the court ruling, popular actor, Emeka Ike, has reportedly proclaimed himself as president of AGN. But addressing the matter on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 at a press conference held at the guild’s secretariat in Surulere, Lagos, the BoT stressed that Emeka Ike cannot lay claim to the position because he was not joined in the suit with Mikevine, in which judgement was delivered on...

MOVIE PRODUCER, MOSES INWANG REVEALS TOP NOLLYWOOD SECRETS

One of Nigeria’s most respected Nollywood producers, Moses Inwang better known as Mosneeze, is better known for the way he has kept his personal life to himself. He is one Nollywood stakeholder that hardly talks or comments on issues. But recently, the movie producer, after observing the way the industry has threaded, decided to spill the beans by explaining some certain facts that people never knew about the industry. He even went as far as attesting to the general notion that there is no love in the make-belief industry which has been able to create more employment for the youths. Moses also noted that many of the Nollywood actors are not well paid as only few are able to make it to Hollywood. Basic Nollywood facts from Moses Inwang; Here are some true facts about Nollywood: 1. Nollywood generates more gross annual income than oil and gas. 2. EVERYONE in Nollywood is underpaid. 3. Nollywood is Africa's most searched name on Google. 4. Nollywood is the 2nd la...

Millionaire Robert Durst returning to court in New Orleans

  By JANET McCONNAUGHEY NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Millionaire Robert Durst is going back to court in New Orleans after nearly a week in a prison mental ward 70 miles away. At Monday's preliminary hearing on weapons charges, his lawyers planned to argue that the 71-year-old Houston man should be released because he was illegally arrested on those charges and a Los Angeles County warrant accusing him of murdering a female friend. They also contend his arrest was orchestrated to coincide with the last episode of the HBO show about him. William Gibbens and Dick DeGuerin outlined their arguments in court papers filed last week for a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Harry Cantrell on the weapons charges. One charge alleges he had a .38-caliber revolver; previous felony convictions make that illegal. The other charge alleges he had the weapon and illegal drugs: a bit more than 5 ounces of marijuana. Prosecutors have not said whether they will bring those charges before a grand...

Brian Williams attends gala to keep alma mater open

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N.J. (AP) — Suspended NBC News anchor Brian Williams attended a fundraiser and donated $50,000 in a bid to keep his Catholic high school in New Jersey from closing. Mater Dei Prep announced in February it will close in June because of financial problems unless it can raise $1 million. Williams and his wife attended Saturday night's Save the Seraphs Gala in Atlantic Highlands. The Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/1B67ula ) reports the event sold out, with 464 people paying $125 apiece for tickets. It raised $95,000, which brought the fundraising campaign's total to $962,000. Williams was a 1977 graduate of the school. NBC in February suspended Williams without pay for six months for misleading the public about his experiences covering the Iraq War. YAHOONEWS

INI EDO’S YOUNGER BROTHER LIVES LARGE

The name ‘Ini Edo’ is one that strikes a big chord in the minds of several followers of the Nigerian movie industry. It is also synonymous to many stories in the media, both for the positive and otherwise. Ini Edo has come a long way in the film industry in Nigeria and despite being an old face in the showbiz world, she is still one entertainer that is growing stronger regardless of the stiff competitions from many up and coming sexy actresses that have flooded Nollywood. Though she no longer acts in ‘Asaba movies’, which she would have jumped into some years ago, Ini is still a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian film industry, which made her popular. Apart from being an actress with class, she is a filmmaker that has raised the bar. Recently, her marriage to Phillip Ehiagwina crashed after over five years together. Shortly after, she was rumoured to be in a hot romantic relationship with a younger actor named Michael Godson. This rumour came after some supposedly intimat...

I DELIBERATELY IMPREGNATED MY LOVER OUT OF WEDLOCK—BRYMO

In the showbiz industry in Nigeria today, male celebrities have developed the habit of having children out of wedlock. Former Chocolate City artiste, Brymo, recently revealed that he put his girlfriend in the family way for a reason. "I wouldn’t wait till I am over 30 to venture into fatherhood. So, yes you can say it was planned. We’ve been together for at least three years. You’ll definitely know when we decide to get married,” the artiste said. “Of all the ladies that have come my way, I decided to be with her because of the connection we have. You find someone and you flow with them. That’s something you don’t plan," he added. Speaking of the lesson he grabbed from his court case with his former label, Brymo said, "It has taught me that only you have your interest at heart. I also learnt that the business world is not for yes-men or for people who don’t know what they want. The music business is not just about having a big heart but also having a great mind....

WHY FIVE STAR MUSIC IS SUCCESSFUL—E MONEY

Five Star Music The name Emeka Okonkwo may not sound familiar or ring a bell, but the mention of E-Money would surly get a nod from Nigerian music lovers. He is the boss of Five Star Music, which has great acts like Harrysong and KCee, who is the younger brother of Emeka. In a recent interview, the Anambra State-born entrepreneur revealed what he believes makes the label special. "We are more like family and not business partners. We do things in a unique way and always look out for each other. The inspiration is that whatever we do will be classy and of international standard. “From the onset, even before we had our breakthrough, I had already developed a predilection for luxury and flamboyant living.” He further spoke on his style and favourite designers. "I do not like to patronise foreign designers so I prefer traditional attires, jeans and jackets. I prefer to customise my outfits and I love hats. I love to look simple and nice. I exercise and keep fit,...

Ex-convict arrested in Phoenix-area shootings that killed 1

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — A gunman killed one person and wounded five others Wednesday in a rampage that included a motel shooting, a carjacking and a home invasion and ended with his arrest at a nearby apartment in suburban Phoenix. The suspect was taken into custody after officers spotted him on an apartment balcony and shocked him with a stun gun. Numerous officers led the handcuffed man to a truck parked outside an apartment complex. Police later identified the man as Ryan Giroux, a 41-year-old ex-convict who has served three stints in state prison since 1994. A mug shot from the Arizona Department of Corrections shows him with several face and neck tattoos, including the word "skinhead" where his eyebrows normally would be. Giroux served prison terms totaling more than eight years for burglary, theft, attempted aggravated assault and a marijuana violation, the Corrections Department said. He was first incarcerated in 1994 and returned to prison in late 1995 before be...

Obama slams Republicans for 'stale and outmoded' budget debate

  By Roberta Rampton CLEVELAND (Reuters) - President Barack Obama slammed Republicans' latest budget proposals on Wednesday, saying funding for research, education and infrastructure would be better for economic growth than tax cuts. In a speech at the City Club of Cleveland, Obama mocked Republicans for turning to tax cuts in a budget that "doubles down on trickle-down" economics.. "Republicans in Congress have put forward the same proposals year after year after year regardless of the realities of the economy," Obama said. "When the economy’s in a slump? We needed tax cuts. When the economy’s doing well? You know what – let’s try some tax cuts," he said. In another issue that has divided Washington, Obama said he wished he had closed the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on his first day in office. His efforts to close the controversial facility have since been thwarted largely because of Republican opposition. Obama said the budget pla...

Virginia gov. calls for investigation into student's arrest

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — About 1,000 students gathered at the University of Virginia campus Wednesday night to demand justice for a student who was injured during an arrest and appears in a photo with a bloody face as he is being held down by an officer. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has also called for an investigation into the early-morning arrest of Martese Johnson, whose lawyer said he needed 10 stitches in his head. Martese Johnson was charged on two counts: obstruction of justice without force, and public swearing or intoxication, Charlottesville General District Court records show. The Alcoholic Beverage Control agent who made the arrest, listed in court records as J. Miller, said in the arrest report that Johnson "was very agitated and belligerent." A statement from a group calling itself "Concerned Black Students," however, claims the arrest of Johnson was unprovoked and extreme. "The brutish force used resulted in his head and bodily i...

Affidavit: LAPD analyst's error delayed Robert Durst link

  By JUAN A. LOZANO and TAMI ABDOLLAH HOUSTON (AP) — A Los Angeles Police Department document examiner's erroneous handwriting analysis in 2001 delayed authorities linking millionaire Robert Durst to a friend's killing by as much as 16 months, a search warrant released Wednesday reveals. Durst, a member of a wealthy New York real estate family, was arrested in New Orleans over the weekend and charged with murder in California for the December 2000 shooting death of Susan Berman. Durst's arrest came shortly before the finale of an HBO series about his links to three killings, including Berman's. Authorities searched his Houston home Tuesday, and the warrant details the timeline of the Berman case. It shows that police focused in on Durst's handwriting early on after a note received by police tipped them to Berman's death. The envelope and note, written in block letters, misspelled "Beverley Hills Police" and included the word "cadaver...

Swedish police: Several people shot, 2 dead, in Goteborg

  By KARL RITTER STOCKHOLM (AP) — Several people were shot inside a restaurant in the city of Goteborg late Wednesday and at least two of them have died, Swedish police said. Police said in a statement that an automatic weapon is believed to have been used in the shooting. They had no details on any suspects but said several people had been brought in for questioning. The shooting happened in the Biskopsgarden suburb of Goteborg, Sweden's second largest city. The neighborhood has a history of gang violence, said police spokeswoman Ulla Brehm.

Brehm said at least two people were killed at the scene and several others taken to a hospital. One witness told Swedish broadcaster SVT that two men entered the restaurant and started shooting with automatic weapons. "I didn...

Jim Iyke Lashes Charles Novia, Attacks Linda Ikeji, Others (MUST READ)

Nollywood actor Jim Iyke is always in the news for one thing or the other. His name came up again in the news after Nadia Buari gave birth to twin girls and people started speculating he was the father. However, those speculations were halted as it was gathered that the father of the twins is someone she went to university with. This time, he has taken a swipe at Nigerian bloggers, describing Linda Ikeji as the lamest of all. Speaking in an interview with Glam magazine he said:“Oh Yes! They are bloggers that cannot feed themselves, and then all of a sudden someone informs them that with a few hits, money would be transferred into your account and it becomes an obsession. Any lives that get wrecked in the wake of that obsession, they do not care about. There are some good blogs out there, do not get me wrong. I am not a great fan of BellaNaija, but she is smart, she is articulate, and she knows what she is doing. Even when she attacks me or writes about me, you will know that th...

I GET TIRED DOING OTHER BUSINESS…COMEDIAN, BOVI

Popular Nigerian comedian, Bovi, has revealed that aside comedy, he does not have any other business he can leverage on. While having a chat with Vanguard newspaper, the comedian explained that though he is an actor and a writer, but gets tired doing other businesses besides entertainment. “Like I said earlier, I’m an actor and I’m a writer as well. I believe in focusing on your passion and this is my passion. I do get tired doing any other kind of business besides entertainment. That’s not to say I can’t have other businesses outside this field but this is the one I like to run,” he said. Speaking about the financial aspect of comedy, he noted that for him entertainment is not about money but the ability to make people happy. “Who told you I’m making money from this? (laughs) I just wanted to entertain people. The fact that it’s paying is an added bonus; money is never priority in anything I do. If I die today, I’m not going to take the money with me.

SOUNDCITY PRESENTER, ADAMS IBRAHIM DISCLOSES NEXT MOVE

Popular Soundcity presenter, Adams Ibrahim, has not relented in making an impact in the entertainment industry since participating in the Next Movie Star reality television show in 2008, which also had Karen Igho as a contestant.

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works).
