"I'MMA LET YOU FINISH" THEN WE HAVE DINNER

So after all the drama, Kanye West and Taylor Swift shared dinner Tuesday evening at New York City’s The Spotted Pig, ahead of a planned musical collaboration the rapper previously spoke about.
I'll really like to hear what the track they eventually do together sounds like. I've got a good feeling about this. Fingers crossed!

There are just so many productive things to do in New York City and that's why I love it here. I am currently working with the team of the Queens World Film Festival which will be having its fifth edition this year.

The beauty of being a representative of this team is that I get to see many films from various parts of the world in different languages too, lol, have one on one conversations with the filmmakers and also share in the joy and busy moments that lead to the successful event.

Films from around the world and around the corner being screened RIGHT HERE IN QUEENS! We begin our festival along with many fun venues and screenings on March 17, 2015. We have 117 films representing 30 nations. Were welcoming filmmakers, film lovers, and we look forward to having you join us.

So if you are in New York during this period or know someone who might be interested in attending to meet one on one with actors and filmmakers, see different movies that have been categorized into blocks and genres then don't hesitate to be in touch with me as it will be a pleasure giving you assistance. dayodane007@gmail.com

MUSIC: MO'EAZY OUT WITH "NA WE"

After the release of his impressive single, 'Ragabomi ' in 2014, Nigerian rapper, Mo’Eazy is starting 2015 with a new single title 'Na We'.

The upbeat tune which features Pop act Runtown and produced by Gospel on da Beatz, describes Mo’Eazy’s journey through life and music, from the streets to living the good life.

He describes it as “A fun filled dance track which tells my story and takes you on a journey of who Mo’Eazy is.”
Speaking on his reason for featuring Runtown, Mo'Eazy said, "Featuring Runtown on the track was inspired by the song itself. The sound and bounce represents everything that he is about."

BIG NIGHT FOR SAM SMITH, BECK & OTHERS AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS 2015

It was indeed a great event at the Grammy Awards for 2015 as Sam Smith and Beck dominated the winners list.

List of winners right here;

The 57th Grammy Awards took place last night in Los Angeles and several fashion statements were made on the red carpet.

I'm dedicating this post to the ladies that walked stylishly and disastrously on the Grammy 2015 red carpet.

My best dressed will have to be Ciara in Alexander Vauthier and worst Kim Kardashian West in Jean Paul Gaultier (inglorious robe)

A private pre-Grammy Brunch party took place yesterday February 7 in Beverly Hills and it was packed with a lot of star presence.

Enjoy photos from yesterday's Grammy brunch party after the cut. I really like the photo of Kim and Kanye.

People close to me know my love for being photographed is endless and I don't waste a second when it comes to capturing unforgettable kodak moments.

So it turns out that I had the rare opportunity of meeting an iconic "top shotta" who didn't just share some of his experiences as a photographer during an educational movement tagged #dontstealpossible but also got photographed by him, (just so you know, I had a swell time, lol)

Jonathan Mannion is a photographer and film director. With English and American ancestry, he was raised in Cleveland, Ohio. His father and mother are both well known Midwest artists. His mother is from London and his father from Brooklyn.

He has worked with the likes of Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Aliyah and the list goes on. As you can already see on the main picture for this post, never be afraid to live your dream!

UPDATE: BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN WILL BE TAKEN OFF LIFE SUPPORT

Four days after 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown drowned in a bathtub, her family will allow doctors to remove her from life support, People.com reports.

Whitney Houston’s only daughter was found unresponsive and face down in a bathtub at her Roswell home on Saturday.

Bobbi’s father, singer Bobby Brown, requested her transfer to Emory Hospital in Atlanta after doctors at North Fulton Hospital gave him the grim prognosis that she was brain dead. Bobby reportedly wanted a second opinion from neurologists at Emory.

I pray she gets well soon.

MOVIE: 50 SHADES OF GREY COMES TO LIFE

If you read the book or the entire trilogy of 50 shades of Grey then you must be as excited as I am to see the movie which hits the cinemas on February 14 (Valentine's Day).

The engaging book written by E L James and erotic romantic drama directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson features tracks like Crazy In Love, Haunted by Beyonce and Love Me Like You Do by English singer Ellie Goulding.

Can't wait to see Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan interpret some unforgettable parts of the book.

VIDEO: DEADLY TAIWAN PLANE CRASH CAUGHT ON VIDEO

Watching this video definitely sent shivers down my spine.

Dramatic dashcam video footage captured the moment when a Taiwan TransAsia plane crashed into a bridge and cartwheeled into a river, killing 23 people on board and injuring 15. 20 passengers are reported missing.

The Taiwan TransAsia ATR72 plane crash-landed in the Taipei river on Monday, Feb. 3, just after taking off from a nearby airport. 15 passengers survived the crash. 58 passengers and crew were on board the plane.

The video was shot by a motorist who was traveling behind a yellow van that was clipped by the plane’s wing. The wing also took out a section of the bridge’s retaining wall before cartwheeling into the river.
Witnesses saw bodies being thrown from the plane as it landed upside down in the river.

Watch the dramatic and scary video after the cut with caution.

After what I personally consider a two year working break, award winning and edgy singer Rihanna is back on the music scene with a different type of sound.

The Only Girl in The World singer teams up with Kanye West and Paul McCartney on FourFiveSeconds the debut single off her forth coming album. This song has generated several reactions across the globe but the interesting thing is we can't stop talking about it, lol.

Sources have also revealed that Rihanna will be performing this new track at the Grammy Awards later this month.

MUSIC: TRASH CAN EP FROM ICE PRIINCE

BET award winner and Chocolate City rapper Ice Prince has a way of turning things up in a very catchy and creative way. the 28 year old rapper recently released the Trash Can EP, a collection of previously unheard tracks, nice instrumentals and a guest feature by Joules Da Kid.

Enjoy links to the tracks right after the cut.

My beautiful diva and mother of two is at it again. You've got to respect Jennifer Lopez as she constantly has something new up her sleeves.

The singer, dancer and actress — whose new movie, “The Boy Next Door,” just hit theaters — is asking $17 million for a 17,129-square-foot estate she bought in 2010 with then-husband Marc Anthony.

The nine-bedroom, 12-bath retreat sits on three acres in the heart of Hidden Hills, California, where Kris Jenner and daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have all purchased property.

Once Jlo moves in, you can be sure I will be paying her a visit (dreams come through so don't laugh, lol)

PHOTOS: IGGY AZALEA UNDER ARREST?!?!

Rapper Iggy Azalea and singer Jennifer Hudson were spotted filming a new music video for Iggy’s single “Trouble” in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday.

Iggy was arrested by Jennifer who plays a sexy police officer. It’s assumed that Iggy is playing a street walker.

I can't wait to see the video. Looks interesting already.

More photos after the cut;

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Whitney Houston, was in a medically-induced coma Saturday after being found unresponsive in her Roswell home earlier in the day.

Roswell Police responded with Roswell Fire and Rescue to a 911 call which came from Brown's residence located off of Holcomb Bridge Road around 10:30 a.m.

Nick Gordon, Brown's husband, and a friend located her in the bathtub and started CPR. When police arrived, life-saving measures were taken over until rescue personnel arrived.

Brown was transported to North Fulton Hospital. Police remained at the house investigating the incident for several hours.
A relative told 11Alive's Duffie Dixon that Brown was in a medically-induced coma late Saturday.

My heartfelt prayer goes out to this family at this time. This news is just sad news considering the fact that Whitney died in a similar circumstance and it will be her third year remembrance on February 11.

HEALTH: BENEFITS OF WARM LEMON WATER

Enjoy reading right after the cut and yes you're welcome......smiles.

The feuding between Amber Rose and Khloe Kardashian ended as quickly as it began on Monday and a Keeping up with the Kardashians insider tells revealed, “Kim Kardashian was the one who asked Khloe to stop because she was scared of what would happen if it went any further.”

According to the insider, the 34-year-old reality star and wife of rapper Kanye West, 37, “Told her sister that she really needed her to end the feud and not say another word because of the fact that Amber Rose is Kanye’s ex-girlfriend.”

“Amber knows way too much info about Kanye from dating him and, if the feuding continued, Kim knows that she would have used it as ammo,” the source tells Radar. “That is the last thing that Kim wants to deal with right now.”
