PRINCE HARRY CHILLS WITH A HOOKAH IN ABU DHABI

You've gotta love the fact Royal entity Price Henry of Wales popularly known as Prince Harry doesn't hold back when it comes to having a good time.

He was recently in Abu Dhabi for the Grand Prix and was seen partying his face off on a yacht smoking a hookah.

Turns out he is a fan of singer Tyrese as he took a selfie with him and Tyrese wrote.........

"Prince Harry.... #AbuDhabiNights Oh what a night!!!!!! He asked me for a selfie with me on HIS PHONE!!!!!!"

He is definitely not your average royalty.

3-YEAR-OLD SHOOTS MOTHER TO DEATH

The kind of stories I read about these days just scares and make me wonder what the world is turning into.

Reports have it that a 26-year-old Tusla woman was accidentally shot by her 3-year-old son while she changed his diapers. Why on God's green earth will a gun be with a toddlers reach???

According to AJC.com;

"Specialists who talked with the child confirmed the 3-year-old pulled the trigger. “I just can’t imagine in today’s society that there would be a gun a loaded gun where a toddler could get it,” Bennett said.

Tulsa police said the woman’s husband is a truck driver and was out of the state when the accident happened.

Officers have not released the identity of the woman killed".

P-SQUARE LOSES DAD

My heartfelt condolence goes out to the entire Okoye family at this time. 

Late Mr Okoye was father to award winning musicians P-Square and passes away on November 24, 2014. 

Sources reveal that he had been doing okay after a successful knee surgery. Just when he was about to undergo physiotherapy, he just fell and gave up the ghost.

May his soul rest in perfect peace and God's comfort be with the family he has left behind.    

RIHANNA LOOK-ALIKE GETS $20,000 FOR PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT

So it turns out the lady in the picture on the right who has a striking resemblance with pop singer Rihanna gets paid as much as $20,000 for product endorsement.

Andele Lara makes a lot of money off endorsements for shoes, sneakers, mascaras and hair products according to "Word on the Streetz". 

The companies that probably can't afford the real Rihanna hire Andele to promote their goods on social media.

Yes I see the resemblance but this just feels so wrong if you ask me.

The mother of two looked stunning in an ivory bondage dress and silver sequin heels. J.Lo wore here hair slicked back to emphasize her tasteful peepers in the lovely make up. She completed the look off with an ivory clutch.

And for the first time she performed her hit track "Booty" with Iggy Azalea on live television.

She was just all types of stunning as the presenters on the red carpet couldn't get enough of her too.

KIM KARDASHIAN HIRING A SURROGATE?

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian seems to have something else up her sleeves when she is not breaking the internet. 

Sources have revealed that the 34-year-old mother of one plans to give North West a sibling soon. But the thing is Kim is allegedly considering hiring a surrogate as she has become so obsess with her figure, keen on keeping fit and doesn't want to face severe public scrutiny as she did after she gained 50 pounds during her first pregnancy. 

MUSIC: BEYONCE CALLS OUT MOM IN "RING OFF"

It's no longer news that Tina Knowles suffered ridicule from her former husband Mathew Knowles when his secret affair was all over the news and the fact that he sired a child out of wedlock.

Few days ago her daughter Beyonce gave out a snippet of a new track she titles"Ring Off". These are some of the lyrics;

“You took that ring off, after all these years, mama, Oh, now the fun begins/Dust yourself off and you love again/You found a new man/Now you shine and you’re fine/Like it’s my time/You took that ring off.”

VIDEO: OBAMA TO PROTECT OVER 4 MILLION IMMIGRANTS FROM DEPORTATION

This move being made by president Barrack Obama is truly a commendable one even if he is bypassing the Congress. Families can now live together without fears of separation.

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama announced Thursday that millions of illegal immigrants will gain protections from deportation, bypassing Congress and unleashing unpredictable political and economic forces.The plan will give more than four million illegal immigrants the chance to apply for work permits and a temporary reprieve from deportation. People who have been in the U.S. for at least five years and are parents of citizens or legal permanent residents would be eligible to apply. The White House said nearly a million more could benefit through other new or expanded programs. The president also is narrowing the group of people who would be subject to deportation, in what the White House said was an effort to focus enforcement resources on gang members, serious criminals and those who crossed the border after Jan. 1, 2014.“What I’m describing is accountability—a common-sense, middle ground approach: If you meet the criteria, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. If you’re a criminal, you’ll be deported,” Mr. Obama said in describing his executive action.

Article from the Wall Street Journal.

Guess its no more hiding for those who are eligible.

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE KIM & KANYE VOGUE COVER- ANNA WINTOUR

No doubt this Vogue cover got a lot of attention worldwide. Turns out most religious Vogue followers weren't impressed at all. Well, editor-in-chief of Vogue Magazine Anna Wintour tells  "Fashionista" why she chose the celebrity couple.

“I see the role of Vogue to reflect what’s going on in the culture. The first celebrity that I put on the cover of Vogue was Madonna, and that was considered completely controversial at the time, too. It’s such a long time ago probably no one remembers, but she was a very controversial figure. Now she’s part of the establishment. I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover, it would be a rather boring magazine! Nobody would talk about us. It’s very important that people do talk about us. Going back to Estée Lauder’s decision to make Kendall Jenner the face of Estée Lauder. What a fantastic decision that was! They have a wonderful brand that’s very traditionally American, and they decided they want to shake it up and reach a different audience. Now and again one has to do things like that. I think it’s part of the excitement and part of being a journalist. I hope another Kim Kardashian comes along this year!”

FLAVOUR IS "THANKFUL"

VIDEO: HYPER-REAL ROBOTS THAT WILL REPLACE HUMANS

It's so funny what the world is turning into. After reading the article and watching this video it's clear to see that in the nearest future the rate of unemployment will escalate even more as these robots will practically do everything a real human being does. It still looks unreal to me, the movement of the robots is a joke. It's hard to play God you know.

Chillingly life-like robots are causing a storm in Japan – where their creators are about to launch them as actresses, full-size mechanical copies for pop idol fans, and clones of the dearly departed.

There is even talk that the naturalistic, even engaging, she-droids may be taken up as men as partners in the not-too-distant future.

Android Asuna was a star attraction at Tokyo Designers’ Week showcase earlier this month and she is one of a series of geminoids, as their inventor dubs them, that are ripe for commercialization say their creator robotics professor Hiroshi Ishiguro.

VIDEO: P-SQUARE OUT WITH SHEKINI

My very good friends and multi-award winning musicians the duo of Peter and Paul known as P-Square just released a brand new video titled "Shekini" some few minutes ago.

As always they do not disappoint with their costuming and it turns out they have brought a new dance style into the Nigerian music community.

THE BOY IS MINE- REMAKE

If you listened to this song while growing up then it means one thing, you're getting old, lol.

Sources have revealed the "The Boy Is Mine" a 90's number one hit originally done by the very talented Brandy and Monica is about to be remade by two artistes with great vocal dexterity. They are Jessie J and Ariana Grande.

I have no doubt these two will do justice to the remake of the song, but I hope it has as much effect as it did back then. Sometimes somethings should just be left the way they are, classic.

Hopefully Brandy and Monica wrote their lines so they can make lots of money of it if it eventually becomes a hit.

RARE PHOTO: QUEENS OF THE SILVER SCREEN

PHOTOS: SOLANGE SUFFERS ATTACK ON WEDDING DAY

After seeing all the beautiful photographs from Solange's second marriage to video director Alan Ferguson, my thoughts just gleamed in the fact that less is truly more.

The wedding festivities kicked off on Friday November 14 with a special screening of Mahogany, the 1975 Diana Ross film which Solange and Ferguson watched on their first date.

The wedding itself took place on Sunday November 16 at Marigny Opera House in New Orleans. Another thing that was heart warming was seeing Jay-Z also in attendance after the famous elevator fight.

The theme of the wedding was certainly depicted class and stylish effortlessness as Solange and her husband rode matching white vintage bicycles.  

By now i'm sure you're wondering why the caption of this post, well it turns out Solange had massive breakouts on her face and neck right after the reception and this was caught on camera as she left the venue with Jay-Z and Beyonce. Looked like some allergic reaction of some sort. See the photos after the cut......

BILL COSBY FACES RAPE ACCUSATIONS

No doubt ace comedian Bill Cosby made me laugh during my growing years. It just makes me sad to see the mess he is in after jokingly posting a photo on twitter asking people to "make him a meme".

According to Fox11 here's what you should know;

The entire thing was eventually deleted when fans used the web tool to highlight past accusations against Cosby, reports The New York Post.The comedian was accused of rape nearly 20 years ago but the allegations made headlines again earlier this year when NBC was reportedly considering a sitcom based on the comedian’s life.Just last month, stand-up comic Hannibal Buress brought the issue to the forefront by flat-out calling Cosby a “rapist” during a stage set in Philadelphia.Using the meme generator on Cosby’s website, fans focused on the numerous rape allegations that have been filed against the longtime Jello spokesman over the years.

I can already picture the feel of the show considering her vast pedigree in various areas of life.Catch the 47-year-old mother of two on AIT network this month as the show premieres.

Celebrities face stalking on different levels and it's something they almost can't control most times.

A lot of Nigerians probably remember this very talented Willaims Uchembah from years ago. He started off as a child actor and captured the hearts of many (me also). And just when we couldn't get enough of his acting skills he was off the screen for years.

I can confidently tell you that Williams had to focus on school and he is now a successful businessman based in Abuja, Nigeria.

The good news is that Williams is back to acting and was recently spotted on set with some other notable Nigerian actors. Interestingly, he is playing the role of a high school student in the movie which is currently been shot in different parts of Nigeria.
