Beyonce -- What Cheating Rumors? Look at My Happy Family!!

Beyonce's trying to have it both ways -- first hinting that Jay Z cheated on her ... and now quickly trying to deflect the self-inflicted rumor by posting cute and cuddly family photos.The pics of Bey, Jay and Blue Ivy taking in some sort of art display popped up on her website yesterday -- a clear attempt to crush the buzz that there's trouble in paradise.Beyonce set the Internet on fire earlier this week by changing the lyrics to her song "Resentment" during the Cincinnati stop of her tour (with Jay) ... making it sound like Jay had cheated on her. It's the same tactic she pulled with pics of Solange and Jay after the elevator fight video.No one bought it then ... we'll see about now.

Jeremy Meeks -- If I Can't Dress Like A Model ... You Can't Take My Photo

Jeremy Meeks is NOT ready for his closeup -- Dreamy McMug wants to BAN all cameras from his court hearing ... since the judge is forcing him to dress like a common criminal.Meeks' attorney will file a motion this morning to prevent the media from taking ANY photographs or video of the hearing set for next week.It's kind of a last ditch effort, the judge already shot down Meeks' request to wear custom-fitted clothes to court instead of his orange jumpsuit and shackles.The docs are hilarious ... the lawyer says Meeks' mug shot has been shown by tens of thousands of media outlets, and has "become woven in the fabric of pop culture." His point -- there's now so much media interest in Meeks -- who's facing weapons charges -- that if he's seen in jail duds, it will make him look guilty and hurt his chances of getting an unbiased jury

Genevieve Nnaji says she never called Nollywood bland & mediocre


Actress Genevieve Nnaji, who hardly responds to reports about her, has responded to this one. A day after she was called out by Nollywood director Mac Collins Chidebe for allegedly describing Nollywood as bland and mediocre in an interview with Punch over the weekend, Ms Nnaji took to her instagram page to deny she ever used those words. What she wrote below...
I never called my industry bland and mediocre. Truth or not, they were NOT MY WORDS. As a person/writer, you can "assume" what you like about my thought process but DO not project those thoughts as "quotes" by me. It's distasteful, insensitive and quite unprofessional. It's insulting to those limited few working hard to make a difference in the industry. I am a product of Nollywood and my loyalty remains unshaken.

Singer Mya denies affair with Jay Z

Singer Mya has denied reports that she's Jay Z's longtime mistress. There was a recent blind item suggesting Mya and Jay Z have been in an 11 year affair, with the rapper allegedly financially supporting her. But Mya says it is 100% false.

Mya denied the reports on instagram today after a fan asked her if it was true. "Heard you and Jay Z had an 11 year affair. Are you his side chick or nah?" the fan asked

Mya replied;

Never did, never was, never will. Illegitimate, thirsty sources with no facts and that's the 'media' for you - especially today. I play second to no one, pay my own bills, have my own label, own management company, rely on God only and respect myself & marriage too much for nonsense."

False rumors are crafted for ratings & numbers. And miserable, unhappy people need someone to judge to deter the attention away from their own misery and feel better about their miserable lives. If they did it to Jesus, they'll do it to anyone. God bless."

Bridesmaids flashing their butts in wedding photos

Bridesmaids...and sometimes the bride..flashing their butts in wedding photos has sparked a new trend in some parts of the world.

It supposedly started after some models posing as bride and bridesmaids did a photo shoot in wedding attires showing off their derrieres for an underwear campaign...and now real brides and bridesmaids think it's cool and have started doing it.

Sometimes they wear matching underwear...and sometimes they go as far as showing off their bare bottom. The ladies say it's a way of spicing up the traditional wedding photos. Should this trend catch on or die fast? See more photos after the cut...

Beyonce fuels Jay Z cheating rumours by changing lyrics to songs



center> Since the elevator attack incident, there have been rumours that Beyonce and Jay Z are having marital problems, with Jay Z being accused of cheating on Queen Bey.

Beyonce, over the weekend, fueled those cheating rumors by changing the lyrics to songs during their show in Ohio on Saturday...almost like she was done pretending that everything was perfect between them.

During her performance of Resentment, a song about a partner who cheats, Bey, who wore a wedding gown, changed the lyrics.

Below are the lyrics Beyonce was supposed to sing:

I'll always remember feeling like I was no good / Like I couldn't do it for you like your mistress could Been ridin' with you for six years... I gotta look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me. Now continue to see what she sang instead... This is what she actually sang: I'll always remember feeling like I was no good / Like I couldn't do it for you like that wack bitch could Been ridin' with you for twelve years...Look what you’ve done-done to me now...I gotta look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me. She ain't even half of me. That bitch will never be. I tried and I tried to forget this. But I’m too damn full of resentment. I know she was attractive but I was here first."

Very telling lyrics. Jay Z and Beyonce have been together for 12 years...she changed the years from 6 to 12.

There were recent reports that Jay Z has had a long- term affair with singer, Mya, and he has been taking care of her for years. It may or may not be true! And Beyonce is not helping matters...

Radio station intern claims French Montana tried to 'date rape' her


A college student and radio station intern named Mariela Sanchez (pictured right) is claiming that Khloe Kardashian's boo, French Montana, attempted to 'date rape' her when she tried to interview him a while back...
Here's what In Touch magazine is reporting; Mariela Sanchez just wanted to interview French Montana for her YouTube channel. But the hard partying rapper - who's been dating Khloe Kardashian since February - had something else in mind when he invited the brunette onto his tour bus . . . "He climbed on top of me and wouldn't get off," Mariella 23, tells In Touch. "I had to say 'stop' a few times. He tried to force himself on me." . . . "He kept grabbing my head like he wanted me to give him oral sex," she said. "When I told him to stop, that I have morals and wasn't interested, he was in shock. He was like, 'Don't you know who I am?'. . .
The curse of the Kardashians. All your secrets are in the closet until you start to date one of the girls ...lol

Nollywood director replies Genevieve for describing Nollywood as blande and mediocre



Explaining the reason she's been scarce in Nollywood movies for a while now, Genevieve Nnaji, in an interview with Punch over the weekend, said;

“I guess I haven’t found the right script yet. Creativity and depth are the qualities that I look out for in a script. In the beginning, the movie industry emphasised quantity but things are changing and there is an improvement in trend. I am among the people who advocate for the improvement of the industry. So said, I am constantly watching out for the kind of stories I take part in. I am in support of movies that show a great deal of professionalism and creativity. Having practiced my art in international & professionally produced stories like ‘Ije’; ‘Mirror boy;’ and ‘Tango with me’, I don’t think I can return to the blandness and mediocrity that characterized Nollywood in the past.”

Well, one Nollywood movie director wasn't happy about Genevieve's description of their industry. In a statement released today, Mac Collins Chidebe (pictured right) said Genevieve should come and improve Nollywood instead of blasting the industry that brought her fame and fortune. What he said after the cut...

"Genevieve has just insulted the industry that made her who she is today and what effort has she made to help improve Nollywood? Those days in Enugu when Genevieve was growing in Nollywood, our movies were not rubbish; she has grown now, made money, fame, popularity e.t.c, how much has she invested in this Industry that made her? All the while she was busy waiting for Titanic scripts, Nollywood was trying their best to keep the flag flying waiting for her to come back and take the industry to the next level. Artistes should stop biting the fingers that fed them. We are watching and waiting for them to bring down heaven. We made them stars; we are waiting for them to come back and take the industry to the next level. Instead of blasting Nollywood, come and improve Nollywood.” Chidebe said

Davido has once again proved why he is one of the highest earners in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

This time, the 21-year-old award winning singer has been photographed wearing a 24-carat gold-plated headphones.

According to a post on Dele Momodu’s ovation international official Instagram account, the 24-carat gold-plated headphones was specially customized for the Aye crooner.

Commenting on the expensive asset, Dele Momodu said: "The current rave of African Music DAVIDO is seen here wearing a 24-carat gold-plated headphones; he’s hardworking and blessed!" Meanwhile, the 24-carat gold-plated headphones put on by Davido is already receiving mixed reactions from some of his fans.

While some of them are of the opinion that the musician could have used the money to better the lives of the poor people in Nigeria, others say he works hard for his money hence he should be the one to decide how to spend it.

Also, some critics believe fortune smiled on Davido on the strength of the financial muscle of his father, unarguably, Davido has also worked his socks off.

With his musical abilities, doggedness and ingenuity, he has worked his way to the top not only in Nigeria but also on the African continent.

Few weeks ago, Davido won double MTV awards.

No wonder he has been recently ranked 5th among highest paid in Nigerian music industry.

According to the ranking, apart from managing his own HKN label, the Aye crooner was said to pocket nothing less than N3 million per show.

Handsome felon, Jeremy Meeks, lands modeling contract



30 year old Jeremy Meeks, the gorgeous felon who became an internet sensation after his mug-shot was posted on the Stockton police Facebook page, has secured an gent who is negotiating modeling contracts for him even though he is still in jail in California facing a felony weapons charge.

Popular Hollywood agent, Gina Rodriguez, has signed Jeremy as a client and he joins her other notorious celeb clients including Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham, Donald Sterling's former mistress V. Stiviano and 'Octomom' Nadya Suleman. "Jeremy has an amazing look and has received international attention which I feel can only help him flourish in the entertainment industry.

He could make somewhere between $3,000 to $ 100,000 per month through endorsements and modeling. We're also speaking with several production companies about following Jeremy's foray into the entertainment industry. I believe this can be a positive change for Jeremy and his family" Rodriguez told ABC News.

Meeks, who is being held on 11 felony counts that include street gang membership and possession of firearms, remains behind bars on $1.1 million bail. I hope he gets a second chance.

Music superstars dazzle Lagos fans at MTN Project Fame concert



Brilliant! Exceptional! Incredible! Those were the words fun seekers used to describe the Project Fame All Star Concert that took place at the LTV Blue Roof Arena, in Lagos, over the weekend. In what will go down as one of the most exhilarating and exciting concert witnessed in recent times, fans came out en masse to party with their favourite superstars and MTN ambassadors. Continue..

Timaya posted one of his best performances so far; Chidinma Ekile dazzled the audience, Banky. W rocked, Oritse Femi tickled, Praiz elated; The Mavins made their presence felt, Kcee mesmerised and Olawale Ojo, winner of Project Fame 6, thrilled his fans.

The crowd stood up for great showmanship and applauded the extraordinary giftedness of the artistes that graced the All-Stars stage. Every moment was electrifying. All the artistes were exceptional. Choruses like ‘Surelere’, ‘Ukwu’, ‘When I Become Rich and Famous’, ‘Is Nothing’, ‘Kedike’ and a lot more reverberated down the winding Agidingbi lane and echoed across the serene centre of excellence.

There was a moment of ingenuity when Larry Annetts, the out-going Chief Marketing Officer of MTN, enlivened the audience by his perfect rendition of Kcee’s ‘Limpopo’. The marketing chief soon became the focal point as the spot-light picked him up and showed he was actually singing not miming the song. Many said if the marketing guru could learn and understand not just the tune of the song but its lyrics, then he must represent a brand that is passionate about its customers. There was sheer brilliance in other performances.

For instance Seriki’s lyrics were alluring. He held the audience spell- bound with his tight rhymes and street vibes. He generated instant love, especially among the teeming young people who reechoed every line of his Yoruba rap. The climax of all the performances was the moment Timaya rendered his ‘Ukwu’ song and invited a lady who many felt the title perfectly addressed.

Speaking to some of the participants, they unanimously expressed their satisfaction with every performance at the show. One Salami Odumosu said ‘it was one of my best nights’. Another participant called Ken, a student, quipped, ‘because this is the first time I’m seeing Timaya perform, it is actually fun’. There were lots of positive comments, commendations and testimonies from participants.

This is a good omen for the season 7 of the MTN Project Fame musical reality show, which starts on July 19, 2014.
