Kim K says North West brushes her own hair

She may just be one year old, however North West is already fashion conscious. A few months before she clocked one,Kim said She doesn't like pink,bright colours(Many felt that was ridiculous considering kids of that age can't make choices).Now, she says North brushes her own hair..

North likes to brush her own hair. You start with a brush and then you have to get a second brush [for her]. Right when you get it all perfect, she takes the brush and starts doing it herself. I just started using our oil because I needed to slick it [her hair] back and make it stay. I just use a drop of it, but then she brushes it and likes to mess it all up.”

Just like Uti and Alex Ekubo,Ik Ogbonna has always been trailed by gay rumours. Even when he flaunts a lady, some say he is trying to cover up .He opened up on his frustration to Punch

“I am tired of the gay rumours trailing me. You can never pick out any man with whom I have had an affair in the past, but you can link me to some of the ladies I have dated. It is funny because I am sometimes called a ladies’ man and at times rumoured to be a gigolo – gay.
These three things do not relate to one another. “That I have chosen to adopt the UK style of dressing, which typically comprises tight pants, should not make me gay. The fact that I have friends in the industry that I choose to hang out with should not make me a gay. I really don’t care about what people think of my personal life. I can’t spot anyone as being gay in the industry and I don’t see anything wrong with two guys or ladies being close friends. Until I am approached by a guy or I see guys getting down together then I can conclude that he is gay.”

On why he flaunts his relationship on social media

Iyanya and Chidinma put on a sexy performance during his concert last night in the UK. Isn't the chemistry so obvious....

She has been going on vacations around the world. Even though she has kept her man out of the spotlight, she occasionally expresses gratitude to him for spoiling her. She just flaunted her hand and everyone's been talking about the ring
If yes, congrats to her

Rukky Sanda was a year older on Saturday August 23rd and she held a party to mark it. Stars like Rita Dominic,Banky W,Tonto Dikeh,Ebube Nwagbo were in attendance

Mercy Aigbe is currently vacationing with her two kids in the UK.She says you all can call her Queen M,just like Queen Bey ..She looks gorgeous

According to the headline story on OK Mazazine, Beyonce is pregnant with her second child and announced to his staff."Funny".They have to really have evidence to put it as their cover story

“For the last month, Jay has been fiercely protective of her, just like he was when she was expecting Blue Ivy. He’s been doing everything he can to ensure that Bey is in a stress-free bubble. He’s informed their entire entourage that they need to use relaxed voices, mellow lighting and listen to only soft music, and he’s said that all of the food Beyonce eats should be organic,”
“He’s really doing his best to make sure that she’s as comfortable and healthy as possible.” Wow, that’s so romantic — and could also be part of his plan to win her love back amidst reports they are divorcing soon.

Now that's a diva

Anita Joseph is stripping for a cause the "Ebola Bathroom Selfie" challenge. This is replacing the #ALSicebucket challenge. According to the initiator,Don saint
"Take a Selfie in your bathroom with soap covering your face and share it with the World. If you can’t do it when you are nominated, then, buy a roll of hand sanitizer or medicated soap and share it to the poor people around you who can’t afford to buy it.
Anita Joseph nominated Tonto Dikeh, and Ella Martins (who claimed her life is damaged because people think she is Genevieve's lesbian partner)

So who likes this idea..

Mercy Johnson is as real it it's gets. She doesn't hide her admiration for her peers especially Genevieve Nnaji. She opened up to City people magazine on the first time they met

Ahh! The first time I met her, my friend took me there. When we got to where she was, I became nervous. I told my friend “no let me hide in your boot.” And I did. I got into her boot. (laughs) Can you imagine I came to see her and when I got there I wanted to run back. I jumped into my friends boot. So, when she came out of the hotel, I could not see her, I could only hear her voice.
The 2nd time I saw her was on set. When she came down and I met her she said ahh! Mercy I like your movies and I started crying. I was in tears of joy. I said Aunty Genevieve, so you watch my movies. She was sort of embarrassed. Before I met her, she had already known that there was somebody who was crazily insane about her. She was really nice to me, receptive. And even whenever we work together she will correct me and say that thing you did, you could have done it this way.
Usually, in life, you will know somebody, who is more than you. Give him or her that respect. You can’t fight a battle you can’t win. It does not make any sense. If somebody is much more than you, there is nothing as big as you admitting it, and hearing from that person. I didn’t come into the picture to compete with anybody. I didn’t come into the picture to rub shoulders or outshine anybody. I came to learn, do it well, make it and be there.

What bothers you about Nigerian ladies at the moment?
Every girl wants to bleach.

Are you bothered about the new kids on the block? wizkid? davido?
No

Why are you not bothered?
What I do is totally different. My kind of music is quite different from theirs.

I’ll love to appeal to Nigerian entertainers to stop
the habit of going about cap in hand begging for votes each time they are nominated for awards. If your materials are good enough and the award process is transparent, I see no reason why you should go about embarrassingly soliciting for votes like a politician.
No award should be given based on public opinion. There should be a “competent” panel of judges selected to review the nominated materials and advise the organisers who the winners should be.
It calls to question the motives of award organisers. Same goes for the numerous music talent shows in Nigeria today. Have you ever wondered why all telecoms companies in Nigeria have a talent hunt show
attached to their names? It is very simple. Television is the biggest means of communication in the country today. It reaches millions of people residing in cities, towns and villages (those who are lucky enough to have electricity). You can find a wide variety of entertainment on TV daily. From soap operas for (jobless) housewives, news for the working class to catch up on the happenings across the country after a hard day’s work, cartoons for kids and of course the talent shows for the gullible enthusiast who has been tricked to
thinking he or she decides the participant's
