21 year old model/actress Angel "Lola Luv" Melaku appeared in the April issue of Vibe magazine.She arrived five hours later because she was arrested for driving too fast.The half Ethiopian and Trinidadian model shot to fame after an appearance in Kanye West's " Good Life" video (2007)and has stayed the topic of gossip since then on issues mostly surrounding her "apple bottom behind".Some people claim that it was surgically enhanced.What do you think?

Speaking of The Naija Boys!

It's a weird coincidence that I was talking about the Naija Boys a few days ago and I was on the facebook group called "The Africa They Never Show You" and I just found out that the boys who made the "Souija Boy African Remix" and shot to fame on the popular Youtube are going to be in concert.The concert will be held in Brooklyn on April 12th ,2008 at Club Genesis at 10 pm.The price is $20 but will be higher after 12 so all those people who were dancing along to "Kiss Kiss Kiss" African remix,go out and have fun .The address is 30 Macon st btwn Norstrand and Arlington.

Fatima Falls to the bottom two.

This week on America's Next Top Model,Fatima had another rough week .She was criticized by Miss Jay when she forgot to put on her fireman shoes in the challenge that gave them 30 seconds to dress up .And then there is the issue of her "runway walk" which makes her look like a horse or donkey.Let's hope she gets it together by the time the next episode rolls around.

Then there was her photo shoot in which the models had to pose with meat.It seems like she has a signature pose which is the whole "Lips barred back thing" .Not a good look.The African model ended up in the bottom two,at which point she burst out in tears (as all the bottom 2 models seem 2 do),but Tyra saved her.

I have no doubt that Fatima will get a modelling contract if she does not win and I'm sure we will see her face in magazines ranging from Seventeen to Vibe.But the girl needs to get it together cuz Tyra might not save her again.

Stars of Degrassi in Kenya.

I've always been meaning to watch the tv series Degrassi ,but with all the 101 other shows that I have 2 watch in a week,I never end up being a "Degrassi" Fan.However,since this blog is about all things African,and I'm sure someone watches the show,I decided to put something up about the stars recent trip to Kenya where they built a school and spent time with some children in camps sponsored by "Free the Children".

Perry Madinga "Rips the Runway"!

I had never watched an episode of rip the Runway,the BET show that follows four models from casting calls to actually stepping on the runway and strutting their stuff.However,I was inspired to watch it when I heard that there would be an African Model on the show called Perry Mandinga.Here's a little profile of him.

Name: Perry Mandinga.

Country of Origin : Guniea.

Life before Rip the Runway:Perry began his modelling Career in Portugal ,where he moved to when he was fourteen.He appeared in a Nigerian soap campaign and was a struggling model trying to survive and make ends meet .Now,he lives in Carolina with his wife and twin daughters.

So keep you eyes open-He might be the next Djimon Hounsou-You never know!

"Proud to Be African " 2 Face Idibia Feat Wyclef

Hey people,this is how the "Proud to Be African" video sounds.I don't think there is an official video yet .Apparently it's a year old but I just discovered it and I think it's a good song.

Speaking of 2Fcae,the "African Queen " star is rumored to be the father of three women's babies.He's apparently denied it but we'll see what happens.
