NY Times Features Nollywood Movie "Doctor Bello" Starring Genevieve Nnaji Amongst Others.
Doctor Bello is an upcoming film from Nollywood, produced and directed by Tony Abulu, It Stars Isaiah Washington, Vivica A. Fox, Genevieve Nnaji, Stephanie Linus Idahosa and many others. Its partly sponsored by the federal govt through the N200m loan fund President Goodluck Jonathan pledged to help finance film projects in Nollywood. It premieres in a couple of days and below is feature post on NY times on the movie.
Excerpts from the write up: “This isn’t a Nollywood film where they edit it in two weeks, and it looks like it was cut by a 7-year-old,” Mr. St. John said.
While the budget was $1 million “on paper,” Mr. Abulu said, actual expenditures will likely top out around $500,000 — minuscule by Hollywood standards but enormous for Nollywood. He was able to cut costs, in part, by persuading many of the cast members, including the stars, to defer at least some of their payment on the promise of a share of profits, he said. The staff of his media company, Black Ivory Communications, agreed to forgo payment altogether for a percentage of profits. Full Story Below.

According to UK’s publication, The Sun, Kristen and estranged boyfriend Rob Pattinson have reunited.
“They pretty much decided they couldn’t live without each other,” the source said. “Kristen poured her heart out to Robert and told him it was a one-off and a mistake.”
The report claims that Rob has forgiven Kristen for the mistake and they have moved back in together.“Rob sees it as Kristen made a really stupid mistake,” the source continued. “After a lot of long tearful talks, they’ve worked it out.”
Rob reportedly sees how sorry Kristen is and has “totally forgiven her.”
“For now they are focusing on themselves,” the source added.
Is this for real?..... Like seriously, am not buying this one bit, all I see here is just another cheap ploy to promote Breaking Dawn pt.2 which comes out very soon!

iPhone 5 breaks Apple and AT&T sales record; sells 2 million
Apple Announces Over Two Million iPhone 5 Pre-orders
Following today's announcement by AT&T sharing word that the iPhone 5 has broken pre-order sales records at the carrier, Apple has issued a press release noting that it too saw record-breaking pre-orders of over two million units in the first 24 hours of availability. The performance breaks last year's record of one million iPhone 4S units pre-ordered on the first day of availability.
Quote:
“iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone 5 is the best iPhone yet, the most beautiful product we’ve ever made, and we hope customers love it as much as we do.”
The iPhone 5 will be available beginning this Friday, September 21. The first pre-orders have begun shipping from China, but delivery companies will be coordinating to hold the shipments until Friday. Customers who did not pre-order the device have also begun lining up at a few Apple retail stores ahead of Friday's launch, although most of those seen so far are lining up for promotional purposes.
Apple also noted that the "majority" of pre-orders will be delivered by September 21st, although some of those pre-orders are scheduled to be delivered in October.
If you ask me: I'll say 2x CPU power, 2x Graphics power, 2x RAM, 2x sales in the first 24 hours compared to iPhone 4s but Of course, as you know, Apple is doomed to hell and beyond for this innovation-less minor update to the iPhone 4s!

Madonna To Lady GaGa: 'Imitation Is The Highest Form Of Flattery
You got to give it to Madge because she sure knows how to stir controversy whenever she desires, and love it or hate it she says her mind and doesn't shy from expressing her feelings, While still at war with fellow diva Elton John, Queen of Pop Madonna is still finding time to make digs at pop princess Lady Gaga.
As we all know she notoriously referenced Gaga as being ‘reductive’ in her ‘Born This Way’ spin on Madge’s 1989 hit ‘Express Yourself’ with Gaga claiming the 2011 track was inspired by Whitney Houston.
A statement which led the pop icon to include a thinly veiled attack to her young counterpart by performing a ‘She’s Not Me/Express Yourself/Born This Way’ mash-up in her own show.
Now Madonna has taken it up a notch two nights ago when she dedicated a performance of her Golden Globe-winning song ‘Masterpiece' to Lady Gaga. watch video below....
Starts at 5:58-6:45
At least we all know that collaboration won't be happening anytime soon, you don't say you love someone in one sentence and insult them in the next, do ya?

There seems to be some kind of dispute between Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of the late Ikemba of Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and the family of the late general over some property he left behind.
The ambassador, through her lawyer, has insisted that the estate management agent, allegedly appointed by her late husband, Mr. Emmanuel Omuojine of Omuojine & Associates, would remain in charge of the five properties in Lagos.

Kanye West - "I Declared My Love For Kim Years Ago In Song"
Kanye West publicly declared his undying love for Kim Kardashian all the way back in 2009 -- when she was still dating Reggie Bush -- but everyone was too dumb to realize it at the time.
Sources extremely close to Yeezy tell us, the rapper penned several lyrics confessing his love for Kim in the 2009 hit "Knock You Down," indirectly referencing Kim and her then NFL star boyfriend.
The main reference -- "You was always the cheerleader of my dreams / To seem to only date the head of football teams / And I was the class clown that always kept you laughing / We were never meant to be, baby we just happened."
Then later in the song, Kanye says, "You should leave your boyfriend now."
We're told the song is just one example of Kanye's secret references to Kim in his music -- and it's proof he's been obsessed with her for years. They've always had this weird chemistry which was quite obvious even when kanye made an appearance on Kourtney and Kim take New York some years back.

Signs Of End Time, Church Brands Members With 666 Tattoos
Members of Growing in Grace,
a controversial religious sect headquartered in Doral, said they were
following the example of their leader, Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda, who
has claimed to be Jesus and recently declared himself the Antichrist.
Critics have called De Jesus a cult leader who manipulates followers. Church members say he has brought them happiness and spiritual fulfillment.
“This is backing up what I truly believe,” said Alvaro Albarracin, 38, who heads a film production company and joined the church more than a decade ago. He showed a bandage that covered the freshly tattooed “666″ on his forearm. “It’s like a brand. It’s like a sign.”
