Ray J Calling Kim Kardashian A Cheater



Ray J has been in the news lately for having dated/hung out with/slept with/whatever Whitney Houston. But don’t forget that he’s also the moron guy who released the sex tape featuring himself and Kim Kardashian, thus launching her career as a successful…something.
Well now Ray J is calling Kim Kardashian a cheater in his new book, according to HollywoodLife (per Life & Style). You’ll recall that Kim was married (for the first time) to Damon Thomas, and Ray J claims that the cheating took place while they were still very much together.
His book, titled “Death of the Cheating Man” (ha), Ray J only refers to her as “KK.” Come on. That could be ANYONE. Like, uh……
And according to him, Kim pursued him like a mutha. “She let me know she wanted to get with me. She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex…We were like animals — sexually free to to try anything, and we did.”
Ew.
Ray also reveals that Kim would “seduce” him by bringing him hot towels in the morning, along with toothpaste on his toothbrush—topped off with lingerie shows at night.
Double ew.
It never woulda worked, though. Kim became so paranoid that he was cheating on her (which he was) that she even tapped his phone. But he points out that he believes she was cheating on him too, so that makes it okay.
“I had no respect for her. I wanted more for my life…[to] find a woman that I could actually trust.”
Might wanna lower your standards there, Ray J.
I’m not sure what he’s trying to accomplish by broadcasting all their shiz, other than getting a nasty Dirt article written about him. She’s no saint, but if Ray J doesn’t think that this isn’t also a reflection of himself, then YIKES! Was this book really necessary? These are some pretty outrageous claims to be making, my friend.
Annnnd cue Kim’s lawyers in 3, 2, 1….

NOLLYWOOD STAR,HANKS ANUKU STRANDED IN GHANA

D'Banj Under Attack Again Over Alleged 'Insensitive' Comments




Story by 3m360

Popular Nigerian music star, Dapo Oyebanjo, who is well known as D'Banj, has again landed himself into another waters of controversies.
You will recall that the music artiste was lashed out on by some fans just last month, when he was alleged of not showing concerns for fuel subsidy protests going on as at that time, as reported by lori Tosan
Just when some Nigerians were almost letting go of him of that, the kokomaster has plunged himself into another ocean of troubles.
In a recent interview with Saharareporters, D'Banj told the world that he never knew what was happening in Nigeria during the fuel subsidy protests saga. He claimed he was in the United Kingdom at that time.
But when asked if he also never heard of the London version of the protest in the UK, D'Banj said he was also not aware of that. He claimed he was also not aware of it via the internet.
He then went ahead to tell the interviewer that he was not concerned about all that (fuel subsidy matters) but he was only ready to talk about his New York koko concert, which held yesterday.
A part of the interview reads, "I have told you, I don’t want to say anything about that topic. I have a concert tomorrow (February 19), I need to practice and prepare well so I can represent Africa well," D'Banj told the interviewer, sly lori.
In reaction to D'Banj's interview, many Nigerians have condemned him over his alleged unguarded statements on the plights of Nigerians who buy his work.
According to some who spoke to 3m360, they wonder why D'Banj would show such insensitivity towards what affects those that pay for his services.
A fan of his told mmm360.blogspot.com, "this same D'Banj would expect us to buy his album, pay 1million naira per table for his shows. Is he doing music for himself? D'Banj has lost it, for me, I will not waste my money on his music again."
A top Nigeria music artiste, who begged for anonymity told Nigeriafilms.com, "that was a wrong thing to say, D'Banj should have just used that medium to win hearts of fans who were already disappointed in him during the Occupy Nigeria protests.
"He should have understood that this same people made him who he is today. Those [artistes] that participated in the protests were not fools. I pray this does not affect his career in Nigeria. I just hope so."
Social networking sites, especially twitter is getting buzzed on anger by some Nigerians over the Saharareporters' interview with D'Banj, with many condemning D'Banj on his comments.
Will D'Banj get out of this unhurt career-wise?

I Don’t Belong To ILLUMINATI - Don Jazzy


Star music producer and Mo’Hits Records boss, Don Jazzy, has denied ever been a member of the powerful global fraternity, Illuminati. He described as spoof the stories that himself and the Mo’Hits team, are new recruits into the Illuminati cult.
Don Jazzy, in response to the speculations, makes the rebuttal in a no-hold barred interview with the music magazine, HipHop World.
The award winning producer said that was the ‘dumbest story’ he ever read in his entire life. “I know the first thing is to put God first. I am not Illuminati or anything. I did not join any secret cult. You people did not even dash me Ogboni first or Eiye or anything; you just say Illuminati straight. It does not make any sense. I don’t even know who those people are in the first place. I believe in God and I have never done juju of any sort,” Don Jazzy said. While the rumour mill ascribes Don Jazzy and his Mo’Hits crew’s source of success to the cult, in the contrary, Don Jazzy said his sources of success have been God and hard work. He claimed that he also tries as much as possible to be himself as a music producer.
“If I’m doing a beat and it doesn’t come out right, I am not afraid to delete and start again. I take my time to make sure the beat sounds proper before I put it,” he said.
I guess this should now put to an end all the conspiracy theories of a new inspired illuminati Don Jazzy.

Album Review: Seal, 'Soul 2'


By becka owusu

SEAL
Soul 2
Producers: David Foster, Trevor Horn
Reprise Records
Release Date: Jan. 24
Seal ** is probably the last guy who should be singing a line like, "I don't know where to look for love/I just don't know how." After all, the British singer's soulful tones have undoubtedly induced plenty of swooning during the past 20 years. On this sequel to his 2008 "Soul" covers album, the vocalist takes on another 11 classics with highly skilled reverence. He and producers Trevor Horn and David Foster keep things reverent here; the most dramatic change-up is a lush, orchestrated delivery for the first two minutes of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" before the rhythm section kicks in, paying homage right down to the percussive nuances. There are a couple of subtle vocal vamps in the Spinners' "I'll Be Around" and Teddy Pendergrass' "Love T.K.O." But they pass by almost unnoticed while his renditions of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," the Miracles' "Ooh Baby Baby," Bill Withers' "Lean On Me" and a pair of Rose Royce tracks ("Wishing On a Star," "Love Don't Live Here Anymore") are more passionate than perfunctory. They never supersede the originals, but hardly suffer in comparison.

Lemar Plays Down Death Rumour, Says I'm Alive


UK based Nigerian RnB music star, Lemar Obika, who was reported dead at the early hours of today, has debunked such rumour.
According to the singer in a tweet to wash away his death news, "I am alive... Or, if I'm dead and this is what the other side is like then, well, it is a LOT like earth and GUYS, they've got twitter."
In an earlier news, Lemar was rumoured dead while on a personal vacation in Turks and Caicos Islands. He was said to have accidentally hit a boat while skiing on the island.
Lemar came into limelight in mid-2000. One of his popular songs is 50 50.
Meanwhile, some have been calling for the shutdown of the media that started this rumour, especially because of other fake celebrity news it has carried in the past

Fastest Man In Africa, Nigeria's OLUSOJI FASUBA Joins British Royal Navy


Nigeria's Olusoji Fasuba is the African 100m record holder, an Olympic bronze medallist and an indoor 60m world champion, making him one of the fastest men on the planet.
But Olusoji — nicknamed "Flash" by his shipmates has just completed nine months of training to become a logistics specialist in the Royal Navy.
The sailor, 27, whose mother was born in Jamaica, decided to retire from professional running to provide a more settled life for his wife and baby daughter.
Before joining the Navy last May, Olusoji has claimed bronze in the 4x100m relay at the 2004 Athens Olympics, gold in the 100m and 4x100m relay at the 2007 All-African Games and gold at the 2008 Indoor Championships at 60m.
In 2006, he set an African record in the 100m of 9.85 seconds, just 0.27 of a second slower than the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt. He said: "I've had a very good career in athletics and been there with the big boys, but I was looking to the future and wanted to settle.
3m360 interview with Olusoji Fasuba
"My father used to work for the Nigerian Navy, so from a young age it was all about the Navy”."Some of my friends are serving in the British Army and tried to persuade me to join, but for me it had to be the Royal Navy”.
"Training has been my way of life for a long time. Growing up in Nigeria, discipline is very strict, so that aspect of being in the Navy wasn't really a shock.Excited ... Olusoji Fasuba is looking forward to life in the Navy
He is keen to apply for British citizenship, but was eligible for his current post due to Nigeria's Commonwealth membership.Olusoji lives with his wife, 400m runner Ngozi Nwokocha, and their seven-month-old daughter Annabelle in Plymouth, Devon.
In his new role he will be responsible for ensuring that his unit has everything it needs, ordering and storing millions of pounds worth of equipment, from engineering parts to stationery.
He said: "In this job I'll be working in an office or a storeroom and I'll be able to keep my athletics as a hobby. "I'm excited about my first posting as I've never had what you would call a regular job."He has also revealed he dreams of becoming a member of the Royal Navy bobsleigh team — and will soon be travelling to Austria for his first try-out at the Inter-Service games. Olusoji was inspired by 1993 film Cool Runnings — a comedy loosely based on the true story of the Jamaican bobsled team's debut in the 1988 Winter Olympics.
He added: "As soon as I saw the film Cool Runnings, I thought 'I could do that'.
"I've never done it before and may not like it so I've given myself five chances to see how things go.
"My ambition is to represent Britain at bobsleigh at a Winter Olympics.

‘I Didn’t Collect Money From Goodluck Jonathan’ – D’banj


On the eve of his New York debut, Mo’Hits/G.O.O.D Music act Dapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo  was interviewed by online news agency Sahara Reporters where he talked about his style of music, rumoured affair with Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji, his political stance and his non-involvement with the recent Occupy Nigeria protest carried out across the world.
The entertainer will be performing at the Irving Plaza where the Live Nation concert will be going on today, Sunday, February 19, 2012.
Did you ever dream of being this big in music?
I dreamt about this. God is using us to take our message across from Africa to here.
You are the face of African Pop music don’t you feel a lot of pressure?
Yes a lot of pressure but I have nothing to be scared of. I have much responsibility.
 There are rumours that you are dating Genevieve Nnaji how true is that?
No! We are not dating.
What is your status?
I’m very single. I like Rihanna, I’m interested in her.
Will you Americanize your music now that you are working mostly in America?
What do you mean by Americanize?
I mean you use a lot of pidgin and Yoruba in your music will you still do that?
Yes I will. Did you hear ‘Scapegoat’, ‘Fall in love’ or ‘Oliver twist’? I do music depending on the message and who I want it to suite.
So will you maintain the identity?
I think American music is universal so I’ve a lot of work to do.
Ok, now on your interview with the President of Nigeria, there are talks that you collected money from him to sing and interview him.
I didn’t collect money from the President. It wasn’t an interview it was a request, watch the interview I asked the President and I can remember the statements ‘What are your plans for the Nigerian youth?’ Because I dedicated a track to him so I wanted the people to know why I said I was going to vote for him, I wanted them to know his plans.
We understand you run a foundation and you were appointed as the United Nations youth ambassador for peace, with your position what are your responsibilities and what have you done with you position?
I have much responsibility. I represent Africa, I represent Nigeria…do your research.
What was your take on the Occupy Nigeria and the fuel subsidy removal?
First of all, let’s take a minute silence for those who lost their lives during this period (a minute silence is observed)
Ok D’banj we really appreciate that, so carry on.
I did not know anything that was happening [in Nigeria during protests] because I was working on my album in the UK.
But there was a protest in London why didn’t you participate?
I didn’t know anything that was happening in London about the fuel protest because I was working… I am not a politician! And everyone that knows me well knows I don’t like cold, so I couldn’t go outside.
 So what do you have to say?
I don’t have anything to say, I wasn’t in the country when it was happening.
But I wasn’t in the country also.
I’ve told you I don’t want to say anything about that topic, I don’t say what I don’t know anything about, If you know me very well I speak about what I know. I will not speak on something that I don’t know about. You will not get me to speak about what I don’t know. I wish my publicist told me that this was a political interview…
 So who operates your twitter handle?
I operate it but I’m not always online, I’m on twitter when I want to pass information not when you want me to.
There has been increase in poverty in Nigeria what do you have to say about this?
Yes I know, but poverty has always been in Nigeria. Let us focus on what we have, why are you hammering on negativity? I’ll speak from the angle that I know well which is the entertainment that is what I know we can export, we should invest our talents to escape from poverty. I’ve a concert tomorrow, I need to practice and prepare well so I can represent Africa well.
Thank you very much D’banj. We appreciate the time you spent with us; we wish you all the best in your concert tomorrow.

Robin Thick busted for smoking marijuana


American-Canadian R&B singer-songwriter, musician, Robin Thicke was arrested yesterday, Friday, February 17, 2012 in New York for marijuana possession, law enforcement says.

The 34-year-old Soul Train award winner was caught lighting up a joint in the afternoon while sitting in a Black SUV parked near the Madison Square Park, Manhattan, according to law enforcement. Reports say Thicke was ‘very cooperative’ and that he even took time to sign autographs for a couple of people.

Thicke was given a desk appearance ticket and released soon after. A rep for the singer has not yet made any comment.

Thicke’s last album ‘Love after war’ was released in December 2011.

motor cycle madness weekend

Film critics have pre-Oscars "serious cinema" on the brain and are clutching their screener copies of The Help and The Artist like rosaries right now, praying that the arrival of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance in theaters isn't too much of an assault on their delicate sensibilities. The sequel, which wasn't screened for critics, has Nicolas Cage returning as Johnny Blaze—the cursed titular character with the flaming skull and matching motorcycle who is asked by a secret sect to save a boy from the Devil. With little competition in theaters and higher-than-expected tracking, the second Ghost Rider could easily blaze a trail of box-office dollars and stands to make more in its opening weekend than Best Picture shoo-in The Artist has made in its entire run.

Before the panned original Ghost Rider in 2007, Hollywood has had a long love affair with motorcycles on-screen. Marlon Brando plays the leader of the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club and rides a Triumph Thunderbird 6T in 1953's The Wild One, perhaps the first movie to associate rebellion with two wheels. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper take a ride through the South and Southwest and learn the value of freedom during the peak of the hippie movement in 1969's Easy Rider, in which the duo ride atop custom Harley Davidson Hydra-Glide bikes. Another motorcycle movie about rebelling against societal norms is 1979's Quadrophenia, which is loosely based on the rock opera of the same name by the Who and follows a young Mod who finds an outlet for his angst by riding his Lambretta Li150 with his lads.



Director George A. Romero took a break from making zombie movies in 1981 and gave us Knightriders, which stars a Honda CBX-riding Ed Harris as "king" of a traveling troupe of armor-clad knights that joust one another on their motorcycles. In Mad Max, Mel Gibson played a road warrior of another sort—a crazed cop mourning the murder of his wife and son who takes on some post-apocalyptic badasses atop killer Kawasaki motorcycles.

Some of the most memorable movie motorcycle moments have been in sci-fi films. Who can forget Arnold Schwarzenegger's cyborg atop a Harley Fatboy in Terminator 2: Judgment Day as he chased down a truck in hot pursuit of young John Connor on a motorbike? Then, in 2009's Terminator Salvation, the futuristic motorcycles had minds of their own and hunted an adult John Connor (Christian Bale) and any other human in their path. Although not one of the most beloved sequels in the annals of cinema history, The Matrix Reloaded at least featured an epic freeway chase scene that had Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) weaving in and out of traffic on a Ducati 996.

Is there anything cooler than a high-speed motorcycle that leaves a wall of neon-colored energy in its trail for your enemies to crash into? That is what the Light Cycles do on the Grid in 1982's TRON and even more impressively in 2010's TRON: Legacy during the game matches. Both movies are available on DVD and Blu-ray, but you need to check out the sequel's Light Cycle sequence on Blu-ray 3D to really immerse yourself in the sense of freedom only a ride on two wheels can give you

Harrysong talks 'bout forthcoming single titled 'Taiye, Kehinde


Harrysong talks 'bout forthcoming single titled 'Taiye, Kehinde to follow up on the success of his series of hit singles – ‘I’m in love’, ‘I want you [Gyptian's cover]‘, ‘Obu Ego’, ‘Obu ego’ remix and ‘Baby Don’t cry’, with another catchy track. Employing the services of the man behind Davido’s dami duro, Harrysong brings Shizzi on board to mould a sure-hit and official first single of his sophomore album titled ‘Taiye, Kehinde‘.
‘I’ll find you, anywhere you enter, kpata kpata me suffer… i’m Taiye, where’s my Kehinde?’ the artiste referred to many as the new King of Melody sings as the chorus of the song where touches on the subject of going through thick and thin to find a love interest. The Singer/songwriter and voice coach signed to Questionmark Entertainment would release the single titled ‘Taiye, Kehinde‘ on Friday, 24th February 2012.
Speaking on the soon-to-be-released record, Harrison ‘Harrysong’ Okiri said ‘It is surprising how we came about the song, it is still like a magic to me the way we made the song – Taiye Kehinde’. He informed that the recording for the song had started with his long time partner / producer Del B and Questionmark CEO Kevin Lucciano – Gabriel. ‘We’ve had like seven songs when Shizzi came to see Del B during a session and he suggested to do a song with me – that he is a fan and he likes my sound so we settled on a date with nothing on my mind,’ He added.
‘When I got there, we got talking with the several women around the studio during the session – almost distracting me [smiles] then Shizzi started playing with some tones and two of the girls were just playing with the words: Taiye and Kehinde and I picked it up, put it on the melody and the bounce of the beat that Shizzi was playing on and before we knew it, we already have the song,’ He said further.
The ‘unto matta’ singer took up the word for what the Yorubas call twins and titled the single which would be made available for listen on Friday, 24th February 2012. ‘Taiye. Kehinde’ from what we were privy to hear has everu ingredient to be the biggest track this year
