“There’s no need flogging a dead horse…” Kate Henshaw reveals why she separated from her husband



In a very recent interview with a national newspaper, movie star Kate Henshaw who separated from her husband in 2011 cleared the air on her marital status why she is still single and her career.

When asked why she separated from her husband she said “I just decided that, ok, it didn’t work. Next, I had to move on. There is no need holding on to the past – no need holding on to something if it’s not working any more. There is no need flogging a dead horse since it is already lifeless. And when you decide to bury the horse, would you not leave the grave site afterwards? You would go now. Anything that happens to you now, that sun would still set, another day would come. So, it’s your choice to either be part of the living or be in the grave yard. And I choose to be alive, enjoy my life and smile at everything that is happening – good or bad. As long as God is with you, things would always be fine with you.

I’m not thinking about anything. At the moment, I’m facing my career. If it comes, fine. If it doesn’t come, that’s okay. It’s not the end of the world because I’m convinced that God loves me.
Love has given me more than enough. I have the most gorgeous daughter in the whole world. That’s enough for me.”

“I’m a son of God, not man of God” – King Sunny Ade addresses his relationship with God

Music Legend, King Sunny Ade says he sees himself as a son of God and not a man of God as most people think he is!



In a recent interview with TRIBUNE, he said “You can’t just call yourself a man of God. There must be a very strong covenant between you and God before you can claim that you are a man of God. I don’t see myself like that, but if people call me a man of God, it means I have to be very careful because I have not heard from God. All I know is that I am a son of God, not yet a man of God.

I have always been a spiritual person and I have been surviving as a spiritual person since I was born.”

On his relationship with God, he said “There is a touch of spirituality about my existence that I can’t even explain, even as I speak with you now, I still can’t explain it. The fact is that I don’t even know how I have been surviving till now. I didn’t study music, nobody taught me music. Nobody taught me how to play the guitar. But I know it has been God all along.

Nothing else could have sustained me till now and surely no one has, except God. I think people are still looking at me with the impression they had in those days when I was still looking for fame. Those days, I sang all sorts of songs because I wanted to be famous, especially in Ondo town where they worship Ogun. Every year, we worshipped Ogun in Ondo those days, so I thought that if I sang Ogun songs, people would accrpt me; buy my album. But it does not mean that I am worshipping Ogun or anything. “

Me And Tonto Dikeh Are Good Friends – Solidstar

Solid-star-

Omotena crooner, Joshua Iniyezo, popularly known as Solidstar, tells Ademola Olonilua about his career and relationship with actress, Tonto Dikeh

Your album is coming out and the public expectation is way higher than your last album. What do you have to offer your fans?

I know there is a lot of expectation of me career-wise. I know I will live up to the expectation because I just released two songs online and the reviews are great. They are really doing well though we just released them online. The two songs are off the album. We just want everybody to go and get the album when it is out because there is going to be different things from Solidstar. People should expect different things from me because they know me as this R ‘n’B artiste but I changed their perception when I released, Omotena and Skibo. I want my fans to know that apart from this afro-pop, I still do reggae, dancehall and the likes. It is more like a very versatile album. I just want to give everybody a different feel and various options to choose from.

This year has been good for you. It has been reported that you acquired multi-million naira properties this year alone. What did you do differently?

Last year, I performed a lot but most of them were free shows. I was only paid for a few. This year I made a lot of money, did a lot of things for a change. I told my team that we had to sit up. We had spent a lot on projects and we had to think of ways to get the money back. We had a meeting and decided that we all had to put in our best in whatever project we were doing. We thank God it worked out well. Now I am proud of not just my label, but of myself also.

 You are known to be very close to Tuface, why are you not signed to his record label, Hypertek Records?

s_2fac3

I was already signed to Achivas Music before Hypertek Records became my friend. I knew Tuface through my record label. We became very close that some people even thought I was signed under Hypertek. Kudos to Tuface, I really appreciate what he has done for me over the years. He is part of my success story. He got me fame and fortune and I am really grateful to him.

Are you dating Tonto Dikeh?

Solidstar-and-tonto-dikeh

We do hang out. We relax together; we are very very close but not like girlfriend and boyfriend. We are really close. We hang out together, go to places and chill together.

Will you cut your dreadlocks anytime soon?

I will but not yet because I still need to make a lot of money. I have a small face. My dreads are deceiving a lot of people. If I cut them off I will look like a small boy and you may not recognise me. When I have decided to relax with music, then I will cut them off.

Blackberry set to launch BBM for PC

BlackBerry was slated to launch BBM for Android and iOS last weekend. But as if the Waterloo-based smartphone pioneer hasn't faced enough challenges recently, its launch was a massive flop.



"Last week, an unreleased, older version of the BBM for Android app was posted on numerous file sharing sites. This older version resulted in volumes of data traffic orders of magnitude higher than normal for each active user and impacted the system in abnormal ways," Andrew Bocking, the executive vice president of BBM, explained of the mishap on BlackBerry's blog. "The version we were planning to release on Saturday addressed these issues, however we could not block users of the unreleased version if we went ahead with the launch."

Despite this fail—which has yet to be resolved—BlackBerry still decided to show off BBM for Desktop during its BlackBerry Jam Asia 2013. In Hong Kong, Chris Smith, VP of Application Platform at BlackBerry, demonstrated on a Windows PC what BBM will look like for the desktop.

The brief demo was not accompanied with any sort of release date.

It's also been widely rumoured that a BBM for Mac app is also in the works; again, however, details remain scarce.

Am I His Mate? Genevieve Nnaji Threatens To Slap Skales (LOOK)



This is hilarious!!! Geneveive Nnaji has threaten to slap EME singer, Skales If he mentions her name in his lyrics again.

EME rapper, Skales probably never saw this coming. Well incase you didn’t know Skales in a song titled “no time” said that genevieve was top on his list and he wants to give her the D, but now Skales might get the ‘S’.

The far from happy star actress issued a statement this morning to one of our reporters, and I quote:

“Can you imagine that boy telling me he wants to give me the D ..what does he know, is the D sef? ..that is by the way..the next time i hear him mention my name in his lyrics again, I’m gonna give him a dirty slap, he’ll never forget..what sort of nonsense, am I his mate? how much does he have?”

Banky W was contacted but all he could say was “I told Skales..upcoming artist don’t mention her name in songs…now we have to go and beg all together….Wizkid is already buying her gifts..we cant spoil EME’s name, A slap on Skales is a slap on the whole family”


Khloe Kardashian Drops Odom From Twitter Handle



Once again hinting at a sour relationship, Khloe Kardashian took another step in furthering herself from Lamar Odom.

On Thursday (September 26), the 29-year-old reality star changed her display name on Twitter from Khloe Kardashian Odom to just Khloe. This happened ironically on the couple's four year anniversary.

The name changing action came after Lamar took to the Twitterverse to stand up for his wife and her family after his father, Joe Odom, told RadarOnline that he believed his son needed a "clean break" from the E! clan.

"That man wasn't even invited to my wedding," the 33-year-old athlete wrote. "He has never met my mother in law and some of my other family."

He continued,"How can a man who has NOT once called me to check up on my well being have the nerve to talk so recklessly about his own 'son.' He is my downfall!"

Referring to his supportive in-laws, Mr. Odom added, "He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return. They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time. Only person 2 blame is myself."

The Kardashians have yet to make any comments about the heartfelt tweets at this time.

Michael Jackson Estate’s Negligence Lawsuit Against AEG: In Jury Deliberations



It has been four years since the tragic death of Michael Jackson, and the legal battles surrounding his demise are still raging on.

The late King of Pop’s mother Katherine Jackson is suing concert promoter AEG Live LLC for criminal negligence, claiming they put undue pressure on her son to perform and helped him secure the services of Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who provided the treatment that killed him.

And now the case is in the hands of a 12-member jury, as they just began deliberations today, with a verdict expected next week.

Jackson Family attorney Brian Panish told the jury, "They're a money-making machine. All they care about is how much money is this freak going to make for them.

"It's not right, ladies and gentlemen. It would not be right to allow [AEG honchos] Gongaware and Phillips to skate down the street and click their champagne glasses at AEG Live."

However, AEG’s lawyer fired back, "AEG would have never agreed to finance this tour if they knew Mr. Jackson was playing Russian roulette in his bedroom every night.”
