LIFESTYLE: Beyonce Knowle's Parents Part Ways

That Singer Beyonce Knowles’ parents Mathew and Tina have officially parted ways after 31 years of marriage is no longer news.

The couple were issued a final decree of divorce in a Texas court last month – two years after stylist Tina originally filed legal papers.

The couple separated in 2009 after it emerged Mathew, who managed his daughter’s career until earlier this year, had fathered a love child.

Their original divorce filing was dropped last year after both failed to appear in court, leading Tina to file a divorce petition again in August this year.

In court documents, Tina, 57, said the marriage was ‘insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities’ which ‘prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation’.

Tina’s original divorce filing came just a month after it emerged Mathew, 60, had fathered a child with former Scrubs actress Alexsandra White, who was pregnant at the time.
White, 40, gave birth to their son Nixon on February 4 2010 following an 18 month affair with Mathew.
Although he initially denied he was the father, a DNA test later proved otherwise.

In March, Beyonce severed business ties with her father, but insisted she was not estranged from him on a father-daughter level, despite her parents’ split.
Mathew had managed Beyonce’s career from a teen wannabe to girl group bandmember with Destiny’s Child to superstar solo singer.
He has been responsible for bringing in a lot of her lucrative advertising jobs including multi-million dollar jobs for L’Oreal, Tommy Hilfiger and Pepsi.
Tina worked as a stylist for Destiny’s Child throughout their fame and teamed up with her daughter to create the House Of Dereon fashion line in 2005.

Tina and Mathew, who married in a 1980, also have a younger daughter, singer Solange, 25.

Solange herself is divorced after splitting from husband Daniel Smith in 2007 after three years of marriage and a son Daniel Julez, seven.

LIFE STYLE: Cossy Orjiakor Rebrands

For those pieces of advice and constant abuse  she got from her fans and foes in respect of her  past  her lifestyle, sultry actress cum  singer Cossy Orjiakor has surely become a changed person.

The controversial actress who is best known for the way she graciously flaunted her boobs as she damned the consequences no longer patronises such unholy act of hers. In fact, the actress no longer goes around with boobs threatening to jump out of her oversized bra.

Spotting Cossy last weekend at the premiere of “Victims of the Society”, movie  which held at the Muson Centre, Lagos, only very few people in the audience could take notice of her presence.
Unlike her old self, Cossy wore an outfit that rarely revealed any part of her irresistible body. She majestically  adorned the red-carpet, and thereafter made her way to the cinema hall to see the movie, where she starred as one of the cast.
The audience, mostly journalists could not believe their eyes as she out-rightly avoided granting interviews to them. ‘Could this be a re-branded Cossy?” one of the journalists queried.
In the past, the tiny-voiced and light-skinned showbiz beau had made efforts to re-brand her image from what people used to know her, but each time she tried, she always found a way of  going  back to her old self.
The highly endowed Cossy, also referred to as the Queen of Boobs, used to be very proud  of her asset. She was once quoted as saying that ‘If I were God, I would give girls big boobs, asses and teach them the benefits of sharing used toys.
Hate and jealousy will be no more.’ She has never given a damn of what anyone would think of her during those shameless years of showing off her boobs.
Investigation revealed that Cossy in the cause of her re-branding project, has changed her GSM line, which she  has been known with to a new line, just to ensure that she stays away from the preying eye of the public.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: 6 Musicians that Made Waves in 2011

2011 has come and almost gone. And during the course of the year, some songs that made us go mwch!, while other outstanding ones made our hearts pound out of excitement!
And of course, we know that these beautiful songs wouldn’t have been possible with some great artistes behind them. Thier songs rocked clubs, parties, concerts et al, making this year music-fun filled…
D’banj

Since the Koko Master made his debut into the industry, he’s never failed to dazzle his fans with irresistible songs. All from the stable of Mo’Hit records, his ‘boss’, Don Jazzy keeps imprinting magical beats and rhythm to make D’banj one of Nigeria’s best artistes.

Dbanj

This year has been an event-filled one for the dude, as he’s been seen jetting out of the country on several occasion. Financially, it has also been a rewarding one for him, as he also signed deals worth millions of dollars. And just October this year, he unleashed an Aston Martin Vantage car with only two doors.

This year, he also struck a record deal with one of Ameriac’s top rated artistes cum producer, Kayne West. But before then, he released a single, Mr. Endowed, with award winning American singer, Snoop Dog.

He still continues to make wave as an artiste who has proven his worth.

Tiwa Savage

As if coming from the blues, Tiwa made a debut into the industry just last year. Her first single, Kele Kele Love made a huge hit, shooting her straight into the league of A-list artistes in the country. After her first singles, she’s performed at countless concerts in and outside the country.

She’s also earned herself some cool cash and is one of the most rated female acts in the country at the moment. Her second single, Love Me Love Me is also a sensational track which has continued to make wave. In the course of the year, she got nominated for the Grammy Award in the best R&B album category. And just this month, she just dropped another smoky one, Without My Heart, featuring Don Jazzy himself. Wow! She’s still smoky hot and sure ready to take us by storm next year?

Wiz Kid

He was faced with too many controversies through the year, ranging from impregnating an undergraduate, to allegedly stealing the Pakurumo song, to the internet naked picture scandal, the rumoured affair between him and sexy actress Tonto Dike and other ‘illicit’ affair-he’s sure got a bagful of scandals rocking his back.

But aside his scandalous stuffs, career-wise, he was one of those artistes that rocked the year. He performed at many shows and concerts like the FAB Night Out, Big Brother Amplified Finale and a host of others. Wizzy also made cameo appearances in other artistes, making him one of the artistes with numerous collabos in the year.

His singles that rocked this year include Wiz Party, Love My Baby, Pakurumo, Don’t Dull and others.

Omawunmi

She never ceases to dazzle with her strong vocal voice. Her debut single, In The Music, a song with the South African rhythm, shot her to limelight. Since then, she kept releasing songs after songs.

This year, her song, If You Ask Me became an instant hit-a song people thought stemmed out of her personal experience. But she proved pundits wrong, saying it was an experience of a young barrack girl!

P-Square

The two brothers of P-Square, Peter and Paul have become a house hold name in Nigeria and beyond. Aside their music prowess, their choreography is also another part where fans get hooked. Their eclectic performances makes them a force to be reckoned with in the country.

Not counting their success in the industry over the years, this year too was one of immeasurable success for them. Their singles Chop My Money, Bu Nie Ya Enu and Forever added to their many successes.

M.I

M.I, one of the Chocolate City boys is definitely an act to be reckoned with. When it comes to rap music, he ranks as the No.1 in the country. He picks his words one after the other, sending the songs straight to bed.
Number One, Beef, Action Film, One Naira, Epic and others were some of his singles that made wave in the year.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: Opa Williams Bids Farewell to Night of A Thousand Laughs

After 16 years dedicated to building the premier comedy show, Nite of A Thousand Laughs, comedy merchant and the man reputed to be the founding father of modern day stand up comedy in Nigeria, Opa Williams, is taking a bow.

This shocking news was contained in a statement signed by his media company, Media Image Managers, MIM. Williams, a movie producer and director, is resting Nite Of A Thousand Laughs. Consequently, the pan Nigeria show will have its last editions on December 26 in Benin and January 1 in Port Harcourt.

An emotional Williams said in his office that the decision to stop the show that has brought him fame and fortune as well as served as a launch pad to all popular stand up comedians like Julius Agwu, Basket Mouth and I Go Dye among many others, was “a hard one.”

And why would Opa Williams take such a hard decision after 16 successful years of taking the show to Europe and across Africa? “When we started Nite of A Thousand Laughs in 1995, we were the only comedy show, we were the real, and Nigerians witnessed something fresh and unique.

“Jokes were original and audience members actually laughed a ‘thousand’ times. Consequently, the show produced superstar stand comedians who got their first break on the stage of Nite Of A Thousand Laughs. These comedians went ahead to start their own shows.”

These shows became a recreation of Nite Of A Thousand Laughs. It turned out to be a ‘see one, see all shows’ situation. “The fallout is that the audience members paid dearly for this as they are short changed without knowing it.

As a pioneer, in fact the arrow head of the comedy revolution in Nigeria, I decided I won’t be part of this audience short changing scheme anymore, so Nite of A Thousand Laughs is stepping aside, to retain its dignity,” an emotion laden Williams said.

He brushed aside the insinuation that competition is forcing him out of the game he founded.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: Sam Klef and Timberland in New Hot Collabo

The last might not have been heard from Sam Klef, For those of you waiting to see what the Noni crooner Samuel Oguachuba aka Sam Klef is up to the next time he hits the Nigerian entertainment scene with another album, there is a big surprise hot in the making.

Sources tell us that Sam Klef is already in serious talk with American R&B artist, rapper and producer Timothy Zachery Mosley aka Timberland and that together, they plan to do a colabo that will raise the roof and silence both their critics forever.

Since it’s a partnership that is still in it’s early stages, our source says Sam Klef has held sealed lips on the title and entire concept of the song.

Come January 13th, he will be flying to South Africa to shoot the videos of his hit tracks Paradise and Suwe. Then he will be taking the long flight to Miami in the state of Florida, US to shoot the video of his track All the way.

Sam Klef is the music producer behind some of the biggest names in the music  industry like Sunny Neji, Ruggedman, Durella, Vector, D’Prince, Skales, and Wizkid.

He shot to fame and stardom early in the year when he released his debut single Molowo Noni which featured  Ice Prince, Whiz kid and D’ Prince.

Durella’s My Life was produced by him and Whiz Kid’s Tease Me which had been recorded during a freestyle session had been mixed and mastered by Sam Klef in exactly 30minutes.

In October this year, it was rumoured that he had dumped bachelorhood for good; a rumour that got no comment from him.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: Tuface Idibia calls for Crack Down on Piracy in 9ja

(CNN) — Nigeria’s music industry is flourishing. However, it faces a big threat — the scourge of piracy.
But the tide is changing, say the country’s top music stars, who are stepping up efforts to reform the industry and are putting pressure on the government to crack down on pirates.
One of Nigeria’s most celebrated artists is among those calling for action to stamp out the problem.
“Piracy is still a very massive issue because there is no control in terms of producing the CDs and no barcodes. You don’t even know where it is coming from,” said hip-hop and RnB star Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face.
Idibia is no stranger to the international scene and his music has won him a string of awards both at home and abroad.
But while he has been recognized for his work he feels that back home there is a lack of respect for artists and that the police do not view piracy as a serious crime.
“A policeman might be standing here, someone might be selling pirated copies over there and he wouldn’t even look at it as though someone is committing a crime and he might even buy one!” he said.
“They love the music, they want to listen to it, they dance to it, they buy the pirated copies, but the respect for the actual intellectual property is not there,” he continued.
Only a decade ago, there were only one or two compact disc production plants. Today there are 28 in operation and the country has its own copyright commission, the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC).
According to the latest Strategic Action Against Piracy report released in 2011 from the NCC, piracy of CDs, VCDs, DVDs cost just over $3.5 million a year.

But while he has been recognized for his work he feels that back home there is a lack of respect for artists and that the police do not view piracy as a serious crime.
“A policeman might be standing here, someone might be selling pirated copies over there and he wouldn’t even look at it as though someone is committing a crime and he might even buy one!” he said.

According to the latest Strategic Action Against Piracy report released in 2011 from the NCC, piracy of CDs, VCDs, DVDs cost just over $3.5 million a year.
Last year the industry decided to close ranks and establish the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) to give advice to artists about copyright and licensing their music.
The collective also promotes the rights of artists and acts as an industry watchdog.
The NCC and COSON are backing Storm 360 to release an anti-piracy song early next year as part of a wider national campaign.
Asika hopes that artists like 2Face will get involved to help educate music fans about the problem of piracy.
“Education, communication, campaign — if you do not educate people you cannot expect them to know there is a real problem,” he said.
Idibia says the issue of piracy is even more aggravating considering the difficulties Nigerian artists face in getting their music to market. He compares the emergence of artists in Africa to “rose flowers growing from rocks.”
But he says the good thing about the African music scene is artists are not afraid to speak up for what they believe in, which could help improve their rights.
“The trend is we get ourselves involved in everything that affects our lives and we speak out. We talk about it,” he said.

NEWS: Nigerian Man Shot Dead by Malaysian Police in Drug Related Incident

In Malaysia, a Nigerian man was arrested on suspicion of being a drug mule. The man was reported to have been tied down to a bed in the hospital as the police waited for him to excrete the drug capsules out.
According to news from Malaysia, the man somehow managed to free himself from being tied down (even though he was supposedly being monitored by a policeman) and was about to lunge at the policeman when he (the policeman) fired three shots in self-defense, instantly killing him.
It is gathered that the incident occurred at 9.45pm yesterday at Ward 18 in Hospital Kuala Lumpur.
We still find it very suspicious that a man tied to a bed – which is inappropriate – and was being monitored by a policeman was able to free himself and lunge at the policeman.
We hope that the Nigerian Government would take up this case, because they can’t watch arms folded as Nigerian citizens are being murdered in other countries like Malaysia and the like.

LIFE STYLE: 3 Zimbabwean Women Charged with Raping Men

Three women in Zimbabwe have been accused of raping at least four men to obtain their sperm for traditional rituals. The women, whose trial began Monday, are collectively charged with 17 counts of aggravated indecent assault.Police say the women may have been part of a nationwide syndicate that used the sperm for traditional rituals in the belief they make people lucky and wealthy. The women were arrested in a town 170 miles outside of the capital city of Harare after police found 31 used condoms in their car.

The suspects in the case have denied the charges, claiming they are prostitutes and did not have time to dispose of the condoms. “Are we not suspects until proven guilty? It’s as if people have already made their judgments and found us guilty,” said Sophie Nhokwara, 26, one of the suspects, in an interview. At least nine men have come forward as being victims with similar stories of being attacked. Kelvin Hazangwi, national director of the Padare Mena’s Forum on Gender, said male rape is still a taboo subject in Zimbabwe.

“I’ve noticed that the men who have come forward are really traumatized after seeking medical assistance of these rapes and need counseling,” Hazangwi told ABC News. “Some of them, their partners left them and they could not go back to their families. Their social networks have broken down.”

“This case is shocking not only for the men but also for the society as a whole,” Hazangwi said. “Many people drove to the police station just to get a glimpse or a view of the women that would rape men.”....

The excerpt below is culled from the utterances of The British High commissioner to Nigerian in Dutse, Jigawa state, said that western countries will not tolerate Nigeria punishing gay people because of their sexual orientation..

“It is wrong to punish people for mere expression of their relationships or for choosing to become what they have chosen for themselves. Punishment is infringement upon their fundamental human rights and the western countries would not condone the action,”- UK High Commissioner, Andrew Lloyd discussing with Governor Sule Lamido..

ARTICLE: How To Profit From Giving Away Free Music

If there is one thing clear about music and the internet, it’s that there are no clear options for distribution. Rather, there are hundreds of varied strategies that may work depending on who you are and what your situation is. Creativity and understanding of how the web works are the two things that will help you the most.

To most people the idea of releasing free naija music may sound unprofitable and wasteful, but when looking at the bigger picture it turns out to be a very smart move. There is no better way to spread your music than to release it for free. In most cases you wouldn’t be making much from selling it anyway. Just like in any business, you need to have a customer base before you can make any profit.

Assuming you are a musician who can perform live as well as produce studio recordings, the ways to make money in the modern music environment will not be from album sales. The album as a concept is slowly but surely disappearing, as music is no longer released on disks and more emphasis is being places on EPs and singles. These are harder to sell for considerable profits, and by offering them only for payment, you limit how many people will obtain them.

Instead of trying to go against the unstoppable juggernaut of illegal file sharing and music downloading, go with it. Give your music away and watch it spread as far as it can. Keeping in mind that you could only make so much off it anyway, in the beginning at least, the positives outweigh the negative.

In return for passing out your music free of charge, you obtain promotion and reputation in return. In other words, you get more fans. Fans are what lead to profits down the line if you are a musical act, and they are the most important thing when it comes to the business side of the equation. So the move is to get your music out there in any way that you can if you think it will lead to promotion and new fans.

New fans can lead to increased albums sales, concert ticket sales, and music placement in commercials or films, and that is when the money will be coming in. But if you started off selling a few albums for N100 a piece, you would be sitting around with N500 and five fans. That N500 is nothing compared to the long term income obtainable from establishing yourself as a popular musical act.

So when you are thinking about how to make a living with your music, think about how to get fans before you think about monetization. Look for sites like getnaijamusic.com that work to get people’s music out there and their names recognized, and use any tool you can find. Creativity in promotion is the name of the game on the internet, and the key to getting your work heard.
