Entertainment Gist



It’s no longer news that Nigeria’s R&B superstar, Tuface Idibia, has released the international album of his current album, Unstoppable. It’s also stale news that the album sells for N1000. What I find baffling is the fact that a group of people is campaigning against the price of the album. According to them, the price is too high and does take into consideration the country’s hardship. A Facebook group has even been created to drive home their point.

As much as I agree that everybody has a right to freedom of expression and association, I think some of us take things too far. I’d like these questions answered:

Is it compulsory to buy the CD?

Why isn’t this group doing anything about the recent increase in electricity tariff, and other matters of grave national impact?

Is Facebook the appropriate medium to get across to Nigerians who cannot afford a-N1000 expense?

This democracy thing sef na wah. Nothing wey we no go see for this country? Anyway, I don’t think I’ll buy the CD. But then, if I do, no member of that group should try listening to it in my car ooooo! Anyhow, the one displayed below is the local edition and sells for N150. No be by force to go international. Lol




 
Alicia Keys is Pregnant


American R&B superstar, Alicia Keys, is reportedly pregnant. The29-year-old, scandal-free star is currently engaged to rapper/producer, Swizz Beatz, and reports of marriage plans are in the offing. Keys is currently on a tour of Europe and is billed to perform at the World Cup next month.

On a lighter note, do these superstars have time for a flimsy activity like sex despite their busy tour schedule? Lol.




Gary Coleman is Dead


Different Strokes star, Gary Coleman is dead. He passed on earlier today, May 28, after failing to recover from injuries sustained in his home last week. He was placed on life support, but died a few hours after the life support was disconnected. He was 42 years old.

Rest in peace, Gary.




A New 50 Cent


As part of his effort to fit into his role in his new movie, superstar rapper, 50 Cent, has shed a whooping 54lbs! The rapper and actor whose real names are Curtis Jackson, posted his recent photo on twitter yesterday, where he looked nothing like the hefty rapper we all know. '50' currently weighs 160lbs as against his original 214lbs. He is set to play the role of a football star diagnosed of cancer in his new movie titled ‘Things Fall Apart’.



Can any Nigerian actor do this? Never!!!!!
