EGO(Definition):an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others

So I decided to get back to blogging on this space...a because I missed blogging /writing in general and B because when I decided to quit,people asked me to reconsider and were telling me how much they liked the blog and how it kept them informed on african celebrity gossip...which was always my intention..

Im not sure if this return is permanent as I do have various projects Im tryna get off the ground asap ..if ur curious about that ,read all about it on

African Artists pissed about World Cup concert/Jub Jub undergoing counselling





WARNING:**GRAPHIC IMAGES***

Let me start this article by saying that I WILL BE at the 2010 Soccer world cup this summer..somehow im getting there...lol..ne way,there is a scheduled pre-world cup concert on June 9th in Soweto that will feature Alicia Keys ,Black Eyed Peas and more..
however,african artists are upset that the show will feature 50% international artists as they feel that "african artists wont be able to represent their countries "..30% of the singers will be from south africa and 20% from the rest of Africa...

In other news,Jub Jub ,the south african artist who was involved in an accident on 10th March that killed 4 students is out of jail.He was bailed out on a 10,000 rand fee and is now receiving counselling while he waits to be tried...he and his friend were drag racing and were apparently driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.they may be charged with murder ,reckless driving and driving under the influence.Apparently even inmates in jail threatened to kill him as did students that vandalized his home after the incident...

Akon refused visa in Sri Lanka ? Lupe writing a book?+new music



Senegalese singer Akon was denied a visa to Sri Lanka where he was supposed to perform.According to BBC News ,"The ban comes after protests over one of the star's music videos featuring scantily-clad women dancing in front of a statue of Buddha".

Akon did apologize saying he has no idea he had offended some religious groups and his people had "postponed" the show then later cancelled it.Now it looks like Maldives will be welcoming him with open arms as President Mohamed Nasheed's press secretary Mohamed Zuhair claims the hitmaker has accepted the offer to play in the Maldives.

Zuhair says, "We are very happy he is planning to come and perform." The concert is scheduled to take place a day earlier than planned, on April 23.

In other news, fresh off a week long trip to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro,Lupe Fiasco is writing a book.About a window-washer...yeah im as clueless as you ..he stated "I’ve been telling stories and Hip-Hop has been an extension of me telling stories so it’s kind of like me putting it in a more traditional form as far as a book.No date is set as of now..his new album lasers is being promoted now with the singles Lean and "Resurrection " which he did with his buddy Kenna (ethiopian singer ) .The song is a tribute to Haiti..

Kelis new boo is Nigerian?+Charlize and her boo been DONE since Jan?




Now that Kelis decided to focus on her music again instead of on child support issues with ex-husband Nas,seems like she also decided to find herself a new man..an african man...well Nigerian to be exact.And you know him:Chicago Bear Wale Ogunyele.According to theybf.com ,he was at her dinner party that she hosted in Miami a week ago and honeymag takes it a step further saying ,

"The duo were spotted as far back as Super Bowl weekend, when they were seen stepping out of a Miami movie theater together hand in hand. Just this past weekend, they were seen at the Winter Music Conference in Miami. Ogunleye was in attendance as Kelis performed cuts from her upcoming album at the Belvedere Music Lounge. Later that night sources spotted them canoodling in VIP at Club LIV."

Wale is Sanaa Lathan's ex bf btw..but WAIT...it doesnt end there..apparently the couple likes to get extra freaky in the bedroom.Someone posted this comment on theybfcom saying "A few weeks ago on Friday November 12th, Kelis was here in Chicago with NFL baller Adewale Ogunleye, she solicited a co-worker of mine from Scores stripclub to participate in a threesome with her and Wale."

OKAY ...on a side-note,did you know South African actress and her boo Stuart Townsend that she had been dating for like ever ..well 9 years (which is forever in hollywood) are no longer together?since january?well i didnt knw that till recently..apparently they started to feel more like "friends"...

Wale is a Rude boy..and the love Dr.


Loved Wale's set that he did as part of his tour with Wale in NYC..still mad that I didnt hear about it till tickets were sold out..esp since ive been dying 2 interview and meet them both...but i did get to watch it on mtv.com and im satisfied...ne way,Wale is hilarious..and you can just tell from his posts on honeymag.com.He's their love doctor.basically he writes about love which isnt strange seeing as he said he is an emotional dude during the performance and loves to talk about his feelings....so here a few exerpts from his latest post ...

"There is nothing more attractive then a woman with a career… not job, but a career. I’m pretty sure a woman would rather date a man with a 9-to-5 then a guy with no job (other then occupying an older family member’s couch) who shows more interest in his Madden stats then your day. There is absolutely nothing wrong with reaching for the stars in your career, but what if it hinders your opportunity for love? "

"These days it feels like everyone’s going for the money. That’s probably why our generation considers fucking > making love. My question to the ones who put their job over love: What happens once you have all the worldly possessions you desire and never find someone you love whole-heartedly? Or who loves you for more then what you own? Just my thoughts, people, just my thoughts…"

Peep the remix he did over Rih Rih's "rude boy" and him and K'naan's collabo called TV in the radio..

WALE-RUDE BOY..
