Chris Brown and Rihanna are done...for now!

All last week while promoting his new single, Chris Brown claimed he and Rihanna were still a couple. Well, he lied. According to E! News, they ended things a few weeks back...

After a hard fought battle over the course of 15 weeks, Lalu Surdiham, a chef working in Lagos has emerged as the winner of the Knorr Taste Quest cooking competition. It was a grand finale filled with tension that could have been cut with a knife, as the trio of Ifeyinwa Mogekwu, Lalu Surdiham and Patricia Allison got ready to battle to become Nigeria's best.

This happened just yesterday evening. The guy is the younger brother of a popular footballer. Yesterday was his longtime girlfriend's birthday, so he went to her house with the ring and the Range Rover. He asked her to marry him with car keys and a very expensive ring. She said YES of course! Before? Lol. The ring is inside the red box on the car. Other guys, please take a cue from this guy..:-)

IYANYA SET TO COLLABO WITH NICKI?

Yes oooo, you read the header right. Iyanya and Nicki Minaj to collaborate. That's the unconfirmed rumour in town. That Nigeria's own current music sensation, Iyanya, who has dropped such great hits like ''Your Waist'', ''Kukere'' and whose recent album launch was a success. He is also currently in the USA, we hear might be considering a music collaboration with the uniquely gifted American rapstress/singer, the incredibly talented Nicki Minaj.

We were very curious to know how true the gist might be, so we placed a call to the music sensation, but he was unavailable as he is in the US. But we got across to someone close to him, who normally should know and we were told that, as far as they know, nothing like the said collabo is in view. So the rumours are unfounded.

We believe them anyway. But we would have loved to see, Iyanya and Nicki, doing ''Your Waist''....................

URU EKE ENDORSES HOUSE OF DORCAS's SPRING/SUMMER 2013 COLLECTION TAGGED 'Demure Indulgence'....

Some would call it a collabo made in heaven. Others would just refer to it as a perfectly symbiotic relationship between 2 great artists. On one side is the future acting great with the gorgeous body Uru Eke, and on the other side is the gloriously talented couturier of note, Lolade Majekodunmi of the House of Dorcas fame. Lolade obviously is the designer here, while Uru is her favourite muse.

According to the fashion house,

Nollywood star, Uru Eke, is demure in the new collection for House of Dorcas (HoD), a label owned by famous designer, Mrs Ololade Majekodunmi. “Demure Indulgence” is fresh, chic and tasteful, with dresses exploring the other side of the conventional woman’s look. “We are ditching the trousers and shorts and running with the wind this summer in these cool colours. It’s all about ruffles and tassels”. This collection accentuates the feminine curves, giving any woman a stylish appearance. As the muse of the label, Uru brings her charm and sense of style to the collection. She’s beautiful, she’s classy, she’s demure…

To stem maternal mortality in Ebonyi State, the wife of the governor, Josephine Elechi has stepped up the campaign against obstetrics fistula, writes Jeff Amechi

Ebonyi may be considered the ‘Salt of the Nation’ but the state faces several challenges that impinge on its saltiness. With staggering statistics and the rising death toll from maternal mortality, Ebonyi loses her children everyday to obstetrics fistula, a disease associated with poverty for lack of access to good health care, especially where there is prolonged labour and cesarean sections cannot be accessed by pregnant women.

By Eromo Egbejule
Nollywood great, Charles Novia, fresh off the success of his controversial memoir, Nollywood till November, recently premiered Alan Poza, his first feature film in a long time, on March 10, 2012.

Re Vignette

In an industry where the beat, rather than the lyrical content, determines to a large extent the acceptability of a performer, Lindsey paves a different path. She is making a statement with her alternative soul genre, she tells Eromo Egbejule

She’s the daughter of a father, who was a disc jockey in his university days. Then, her mother had joined her local church choir at age six.

Iceberg Slim

Iceberg Slim relives his early beginnings into the world of music while still in the US and tells Vanessa Obioha about his influences and journey so far

Maybe it’s his controversial lyrics or his stage name, Iceberg Slim, which is synonymous to the popular American pimp, Robert Lee Maupin. Nonetheless, Olusegun Olowokere has more up his sleeves than he’s credited for. As an emerging rap artiste in the entertainment industry, Iceberg Slim seems ready to set the music scene ablaze with his inimitable breezy style.

Omawumi

Yesterday Sunday 7th April 2013, Nigerian songstress Omawumi held her highly anticipated concert “Omawumi in Concert: The Lasso of Truth” at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

A few days ago a couple of friends and I decided to go shopping. Realizing I hadn’t rocked the red lip in a while I decided to get some MAC ‘Rubywoo’ lipstick. I got to the store and the lipstick was sold out!

Iyanya & Emma Nyra Storm US & Canada! Watch Episode 1 from their Tour Diary

Triple MG ensigns, Iyanya and Emma Nyra just commenced their US/Canada tour on April 5 2013, with a show in New York.

A few days ago, my cousin’s girlfriend came to visit. I had caught her staring at me a few times than normal so I asked if there was a problem. Towards the end of the visit, she mentioned that she had actually been trying to figure out if I’d had my eyebrows tattooed.

Nollywood actress Ini Edo faced a lot of criticism for what appeared to be a little weight gain following her red carpet appearance at last month’s AMVCA awards in Lagos. It seems the actress took the comments about her weight gain to heart because she showed up at the launch of X-Factor Nigeria in Lagos on the 27th March showing off a much trimmer body.

Even though I didn’t notice her size at the AMVCA (women’s bodies change all the time for various reasons…hormones, stress etc) I have to say she looks much better now. She’s rocking a brown dress, with sky high Christian Louboutin heels and sporting the latest accessory in town a Blackberry Z10.
Her dress, makeup, hair all tie in and looks perfect on her.

ARE YOU FEELIN’ HER LOOK?
