Crash Of Comedienne Princess's 7-Month Marriage

Fresh reports indicate that the marriage of popular Nigerian comedienne Princess has crashed.

Princess (real name Oluwadamilola Adekoya) and her hubby Shola have  reportedly gone their separate ways putting behind them the 7 month-old rocky union.
NET investigations reveal that trouble started about two weeks after the wedding in May, 2013.
According to the information provided by insiders, the marriage was characterised by endless disagreements, often requiring the intervention of friends and family.
"It’s been 7 months of a series of efforts to mend the broken marriage until it was obvious that it was beyond repair" one insider disclosed.
Commenting on the situation to the NET correspondents, Princess confirmed the separation, saying
"Yes my marriage has ended due to irreconcilable differences."
She admitted that the union has not been as blissful as many thought, but the two remained together as they hoped it would work out.
"But apparently, we couldn’t work it out, hence the reason for our separation. We actually ended it several months ago, but we didn’t want to make it public. I’m sure God knows best," she added.
A few months ago it was reported that Princess was pregnant, an allegation, which she denied.
Princess and her hubby, Adeshola Jeremiah got married on May 8, 2013 in a widely celebrated wedding which was attended by the First Lady of Lagos State, Abimbola Fashola and other top comedians.

7 Women changing the way you use technology

And live your life

Do you have what it takes to change the way we use our gadgets? These seven women are some of the most power technological titans in the world.

Times, they are a-changin'! In the past, women have been grossly underrepresented in the technology sector, from engineering to major websites, but earlier this year, InfoWorld reported that thus far in 2013, a vast majority of the new hires in the tech sector have been women according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics. To celebrate, we've rounded up a list of seven inspiring figures in the field.

1

Marissa Mayer

In 1999, Marissa Mayer became the 20th employee and first female engineer of the now ubiquitous Google. She worked her way up the ranks from engineer to designer to product manager, eventually landing a coveted executive position, where she became the company's key spokesperson.
Recently, Mayer lit up the nerd-osphere when she left her long-time position to take the reigns at Yahoo as president and CEO. In 2013, she was ranked No. 8 on Fortune's list of most-powerful businesswomen in America.
We can see why. According to the Huffington Post, Yahoo is currently beating Google in traffic. We're not sure what she's doing right, but Google had better figure it out — fast!

Suzanne Russo

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could open an app on your smartphone and know exactly how much energy every electronic device in your home was using? Suzanne Russo thinks so. This green goddess is the brain behind Pecan Street Research Institute, where it has outfitted 1,000 volunteer homes with advanced energy-monitoring equipment. Better yet, Russo's organization has just started gathering data from lower-income individuals, who are usually left out of the equation when it comes to technology advancements.

Padmasree Warrior

Padmasree Warrior was born and raised in southern India. After obtaining her bachelor's degree, Warrior earned a master's in chemical engineering from Cornell University. She started her career at Motorola as one of only a handful of women working at its Arizona branch. She's now been with the company over 23 years, working on a multitude of cool projects, including a stint as the corporate VP and chief technology officer in the semiconductor products sector.
Current CEO John Chambers has put Warrior's name at the top of the list of his successors, saying to Forbes, "Warrior is among the sharpest technology persons in the world."

4

Selina Tobaccowala

One of Bloomberg TV's women to watch, SurveyMonkey's Selina Tobaccowala got her job with the leading creator of web-based surveys while she was pregnant with her first child in 2009. Fast-forward almost five years, and she now leads a team of engineers in creating online solutions to offline problems with a focus on putting the end user first.
Tobaccowala has been programming in high-level languages, like Pascal, since the tender age of 10. She started a company we've all heard of, Evite, from her dorm room in college.

5

Sheryl Sandberg

COO of Facebook Sheryl Sandberg has been with the company since 2007, when she met founder Mark Zuckerberg at a Christmas party. The rest, as they say, is history. Her purpose at the company was to take a "really cool site" and make it profitable, and that she has.
After adding ads to the mobile newsfeed, the company earned an impressive 18.4 percent share of all mobile advertising revenue. Her book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead, a follow up to her 2010 TED Talk, sold over 150,000 copies in its first week.

6

Rashmi Sinha

Rashmi Sinha cofounded SlideShare, an online method of sharing Word, PowerPoint and other presentations, which was sold to professional social networking powerhouse LinkedIn in April 2013 to the tune of $119 million.
But Sinha's background isn't in programming. Indeed, she has a doctorate in neuropsychology from Brown University. After creating MindCanvas, a game-like survey platform used for customer research, she was apparently bitten by the tech bug. Fast Company recently named her one of the World's Top 10 Women Influencers in Web 2.0.

7

Brit Morin

This up-and-comer may not have achieved what all the other ladies on this list have... yet... but it's only a matter of time. Brit Morin, called "a millennial DIY-er with the digitized touch" by The New York Times, isn't quite 30 yet, but she's already making headlines as this generation's Martha Stewart meets Marissa Mayer. Her company, Brit + Co., is dedicated to making all things DIY available online. Her staff makes its home away from home in 9,700-square-foot headquarters. Not too shabby.

Co-hosting The 2013 Headies is the Worst Thing Tiwa Savage has Done with her Career?

This is a pretty strong review of the recently completed Headies with an F grade score for Tiwa Savage. Did any AML persons attend? Your thoughts?


“First of all, it must be known (regardless of your view or personal sentiment about the event) that the Headies Awards sets a record that corporate partners should now strictly observe while they contribute value and support to the Nigerian music/entertainment industry. So, to set the record straight by Headies’ standard, sponsorship contracts should now include: event organizers must return the sponsors’ money with a 5000 page apology letter if the event looks like the 2013 Headies awards. Simple.
Choosing the worst hosts for a live TV program wasn’t the only thing that flawed the brilliant lighting effects at the Headies last night, Nigeria’s “biggest music awards” had no spectacle on a performance list that included Praiz, Waje, Olamide, Phyno etc. Where ever they got those dancers from, whoever got the costumes, whoever arranged the choreography…those are the worst of their kind!
Having known it as the prestigious Hip-hop World Awards over the years, nothing had prepared me for the flop that was set to heat up my TV as I thought HipTV was about to screen a live fashion show when the lights beamed on the Headies runway. It would take Dr Sid’s mediocre stage presence while introducing the live show for anyone to actually know that that was the 2013 Headies.
Seeing what the first fifteen minutes of the awards looked like, I’m not one with the patience to endure the uninspiring TV moment the Headies was obviously set to offer so I switched the channel and didn’t catch up with the whole live broadcast on HipTV. I would almost conclude the audience probably got themselves caught up in the wrong place and they had to walk around the stage (and block the cameras) to see if this is exactly what they came for, or maybe they want to be sure this is the awards they actually paid to see. I can imagine if one of the ushers had tried to restrict any of those audience from roaming around the stage. “If I slap you” wouldn’t be any more justified a response.
While co-hosting the awards easily turned out to be the worst thing Tiwa Savage would do with her career (well, she was paid for it), the audience also became colder and the performances nosedived as the sound trailed off as often as the Headies technical crew couldn’t keep a hold of it, nominations won’t beam on the projector screens, awards recipients took forever and a last breath to find their way to the stage and awards presenters got lost while looking for the exit on stage.

More Trouble in Paradise for Kerry Washington and Nnambdi?

The last time we visited the subject of Kerry Washington’s suspicious marriage to unemployed footballer Nnamdi Asomugha, rumor had it that Washington was allegedly being blackmailed by Asomugha, who was unceremoniously booted off the San Francisco 49ers team.
Now comes word that Asomugha is complaining bitterly that the ‘Scandal’ actress spends way too much time on her career while he sits at home thumbing through the wanted ads.
Washington is pregnant with Asomugha’s spawn. But the fact that Washington and Asomugha are never seen together in public fuels rumors that their marriage is a smoke screen.

From The National Enquirer:
“Nnamdi is complaining [Kerry] has time to promote her TV show, business ventures and charities, but she rarely spares an evening to be home with him.”
According to the source Nnamdi said he is concerned that they are already growing apart.
“Instead of slowing down during her show’s Christmas hiatus, Kerry funneled her extra time into her fashion consultation business and her responsibilities as a creative consultant for Neutrogena cosmetics,” said the source.
“Kerry feels she can balance a public life and private life with Nnamdi and their baby,” said the source. “But Nnamdi is not convinced. They’ve had several blow-ups, and each time Kerry swears she’s going to slow down. “But in the end she may lose something that doesn’t come along very often – a loving husband.”

Tits The Season – Miley Cyrus Tweeted Out a Topless

 

Here’s how Miley Cyrus sends her holiday greetings: By tweeting out a topless photo. It’s basically a hype for a documentary called Free the Nipple, an NC-17 rated documentary about the censorship of topless women. 

In other news, this is probably the least risque thing Miley Cyrus has done this year. Can’t wait to see her attention-whoring game in 2014. We expect it to be stunning.

IAC PR Director, Justine Sacco Sacked By Employer Over ‘Aids In Africa’ Racist Tweet

 – IAC PR Director Justine Sacco Fired By Employer Over ‘Aids In Africa’ Racist Tweet

An American Internet company, Inter Active Corp aka IAC has fired Justine Sacco, their PR director who shared a racist tweet on Twitter yesterday.

In the controversial tweet Justine Sacco said:

“Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!”

Moments after the tweet, her Twitter account was immediately deleted but the deed has been done as the offensive tweet went global.

Ryan Trostle, the spokesperson for IAC who confirmed Justine Sacco’s sack said the company has zero tolerance for racial abuse.

“The offensive comment does not reflect the views and values of IAC. We take this issue very seriously, and we have parted ways with the employee in question.”

“There is no excuse for the hateful statements that have been made and we condemn them unequivocally,”. “We hope, however, that time and action, and the forgiving human spirit, will not result in the wholesale condemnation of an individual who we have otherwise known to be a decent person at core.” – Ryan said

Fellow co-workers have tagged Justine a dumb woman for making the offensive remark in the public.

Justine Sacco is out of job and guess what, her trip to Africa has been cancelled.
