ANGELA SIMMONS IN NIGERIA FOR THE MUSIC MEETS RUNWAY EVENT



It is Touch down for Angela Simmons (reality TV star and daughter of hip-hop rap legend, Rev. Run) as she made her flight in to Lagos,Nigeria all dressed casually in kicks, sweatshirt and pants, not to mention her lovely braids.. which i'd say is a perfect choice for our weather presently. 


She seems to be thrilled to be in Lagos State, Nigeria as she posted some photos on her instagram page. 




Some may be wondering what she's doing in Nigeria, well... she'll be one of the guest host for the "Music meets Runway" (MMR), one of the anticipated event set to take place this saturday at Eko Hotels, Lagos alongside TV host and personality, Ik Osakioduwa.



Angela is one of our admired young fashionistas as she doesn't fail to step out in style and class as she's seen already going through dress fittings this morning and getting ready for the big day.


And Oh well, a girl's gotta have some time to unwind, relax and enjoy every view. We love this paisely printed satin dress she's rocking with her braids all tied up.. Looking so African.

BEYONCE'S NEWEST ALBUM RELEASE!



She's topped headlines, She is topping the chats on iTunes store and has the fastest selling album on iTunes (selling 617,000 copies in 3 days), She has done it again... and this time, "who would av thunk it?"
According to iTunes Editor's notes, "Beyonce's fifth studio endeavor is a provocative, unguarded artistic statement- revealing a side of the icon previously unknown to fans and cementing her status as a pop visionary."




Without any preview or sneak peek of her new self-titled album "Beyonce", which is her 5th, Bey has stunned us one more time! Not even her crew spilled the tea, She's managed to keep the 17 track album release a secret. As a Beyonce fan all I could do was wonder what next has she got to offer, coz so far she has wow'ed us and done it all..( or so I thought, well.. until i clicked "download".. lol). I have anticipated and waited rather impatiently for this.



On this new album she featured her hubby, Jay-Z, among other collaborators such as the talented singer/songwriter Frank Ocean and one of the dopest rapper, Drake, Pharell Williams, Justin Timberlake, Kelly Rowland, Timberland, Michelle Williams, etc.



It's never been so easy for Bey especially on her struggle to the top. In addition to all this, she admits to have been inspired by feminist works by our own Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who she also included in her album."Every thing she says is exactly how i feel", Bey explained.

Have you listened to her new album yet? Do tell me what you think..

LADY GAGA UNVEILS HER BIZARRE JAPANESE "GAGADOLL"


Queen of Pop, queen of bizarre and everything weird and funky unveiled her Gagadoll" (a crafted listening station), while she promotes her third album 'ARTPOP' in Japan. All lined up on a  sofa, it's really hard to discern the real Gaga from the two life-like dopplegangers (as if one Gaga isn't enough for us, lol)..it's almost like they were cloned...good job!



This crafted listening stations as they are called were crafted using silicon which enables them to ape her facial expressions, the limbs of these dolls are quite flexible and can mimic any position you want.

Moreso, users can listen to any of Gaga's music and messages by placing an ear to its heart and "Boom-boom-bang" you go!



On twitter she wrote: "who needs Barbies when you can create your own life-size pop star that sings to you"
(we know right?)





BEVERLY OSU AND BIMP ARE OFFICIALY DATING!


Love my instinct and this doesn't come off as a surprise. It was noticed on their tour and attendance of the La Vente Marche event that took place in Port Harcourt, now it's official. No more whispering, keeping secrets or feigning "we're just friends".

After Beverly expressed disgust and a lil jealousy when female fans flocked around her supposed "BFF", we've just been waiting for the final reveal. This is actually cool though. Bimp and Beverly are in love and they are both living together in an apartment in Lekki, Lagos. Bimp also has expressed interest in remaining in Nigeria.

She posted this pix on instagram yesterday. See below.

LAMAR ODOM DEMANDS $10M TO END MARRIAGE WITH KHLOE & KEEP SEX TAPE PRIVATE!



Wow, it's the Kardashian sisters again, this time around its Khloe. Reality TV star, Khloe Kardashian's estranged husband, Lamar Odom is demanding a multi-million dollar settlement to end their four years marriage, a return of the $875,000 engagement ring and a promise to keep their sex tape private... so much for a divorce deal, (I call this last part, "Blackmail") 

A source also revealed to the enquirer that Khris and Khloe are worried about Lamar, He knows too much about their personal life especially about their extreme surgery procedures which they have also pressured their younger ones to follow suit. Well I guess the K-clans would want to do anything to keep Lamar's mouth shut.



Are these divorce scandal a sort of karma for the Kardashian sisters? Let's hope not..

It doesn't end there, O.J Simpson is rumored to be the father of Khloe Kardashian. This was according to his manager and friend, Norman Pardo. Khloe on her part is pissed and disgusted with the rumors. More and more tales and surprises keeps unfolding.

TRENDING: GHANA-MUST-GO PRINT ON THE RUNWAY!



If you say you ain't familiar with this print then you must be kidding! Even mutants and Aliens are familiar with the infamous Ghana-must-Go bag, lol. The history behind this popular African bag trend (Ghanaian's in Nigeria in the 80's and the saga during that time) is one some hold so dearly.

Well, this print has been put on the runway by designers such as Louis Vuitton, Celine and Marc Jacobs... shocking right??




Funny enough, we all might have seen photos of Nigerians or Africans not just using this as a travelling bag but as clothing, it has rather been seen as a joke or sheer foolery, but Hey!... 'who's laughing now?'.


I'm sorry but these pictures can't stop me from laughing!


 Most of us would never be caught dead in the "Ghana must go" print as a clothing of any sort, but now the top names in the design industry has picked this up and coined it as a fashion trend, would you rock one of these?

Hmm...If yes, do let me know by leaving your comments below.






BEYONCE'S NEW MUSIC- GOD MADE YOU BEAUTIFUL



She's got everything including the talent and vocals.  While we all have to keep our fingers crossed anticipating her next album which according to her, won't be released "until it feels right", Bey is keeping the Beyhive locked down with her new single "God made you beautiful".

In this new single, she sings about her daughter over a drum-patterned ballad... buh after listening to the song, I felt she could do better... anyways, it's my opinion, yours may be different.

On November 25th, that's two days from now, Beyonce would be releasing her documentary "Life Is But A Dream" on DVD which includes a live concert film plus a download of the new song.

Listen to the full song below.

PETER OKOYE AND LOLA OMOTALA'S TRADITIONAL WEDDING (WHAT THE CELEBS WORE)


The traditional wedding of Peter Okoye and Fiance, Lola Omotala took place yesterday, 17th of November, 2013 at the Arc Event Centre, Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria. The wedding ceremony of these beautiful couples and star-studded event of the year was graced by our top celebrities and socialites. 

From our top Nollywood stars to notable personalities both in the entertainment industry were present, such as: Funke Akindele, Kate Henshaw, Nonso Diobu, Toke Makinwa, Dr Sid, Banky W, Toyin Lawani (CEO, Tiannah Styling), Vonne Couture, Susan Peters, Emmanuel Adebayo, Don Jazzy, Karen Igho, etc, and as usual everybody looked their best, from makeup to their outfits. 

Unfortunately one special and important person was missing at the event, Paul Okoye, the brother of Peter Okoye. Apparently, the reasons was due to a recording schedule he had. Bear in mind too that Peter Okoye wasn't present for his own bachelors party, due to some business commitment.. Well, I wonder why business would come first before blood ties and a lifetime commitment or occasion... my lips are sealed!

One of the things I look forward to is fashion and styling. The theme Aso-ebi dress code for the wedding was blue and gold. CEO of Tiannah Styling and Vonne Couture ( all fashion designers), among others showed up wearing one of their pieces in this theme and they were quite beautiful, Toke Makinwa also looked gorgeous, Loved her makeup which was done by "Joyce Jacob". Of course the men also looked dapper in their grey and wine colored Aso-ebi outfit, with gold accessories/details to compliment.

There's really something beautiful and unique about African Fashion.

See Pictures Below.

SEE SHORT VIDEO CLIPS FROM THE LA VENTE MARCHE (LVM) RUNWAY EVENT.



Hey guys, I decided to put up short video clips from the LVM event... well, for those who were not able to make it. From Denrele hosting the event wearing his favorite huge shoes, to him walking on 6 inch female stilettos and short clips of two of the pieces that caught my eye.














EVENT: BBA HOUSEMATE PROPOSES TO A TOTAL STRANGER + "WHY WAS BEVERLY OSU ALL FROWNS?"


The "La Vente Marche" marketplace/runway event was in full effect last Saturday, 9th of November, 2013 to 10th of November. As usual I couldn't wait but shop and window shopped some items (lol). Every vendor had their stands and had wonderful display of trendy items, from clothes to shoes, accessories, makeup products, electronic gadgets, etc.

Nigeria's celebs and important personalities were in the house, even  two of naija's T.V presenters and red carpet hosts, Dayo and Denrele Edun anchored the event alongside the BBA stars, Beverly, Bimp and Bassey. It was fun, exciting, full of surprises and freebies.



 Denrele as usual in his light, fun, playful, friendly and eccentric personality showed up on the red carpet wearing a high heel female stilletto (Mahn!..this dude is sure full of surprises), the BBA stars also took pictures on and off the red carpet with their fans.

Beverly Osu on the other hand was all frowns, grumpy and moody when all the lady fans were all over Bimp backstage taking pictures, Bimp had to stop amidst photo snaps to pacify her... hmm... we all have heard about the rumors about Bimp and Beverly secretly having an affair, well if it is true, can we say this is a case of a "jealous lover?" 









Moving on...

 Port Harcourt's finest designers such as VeraNORA Couture, Johnson & Johnson, Diri designs, etc showcased colorful male and female wears on the red carpet. The BBA stars also strutted the runway looking dapper in a few selected designer pieces.





The event got to its peak when the BBA housemates, Bimp and Beverly proposed to a total stranger from the audience... well at least they were made to. The Chase housemates were made to pick a stranger of their choice from the female guests in attendance and propose to her with a Blackberry phone by the anchor of the show, Denrele.
