Neymar Is Better Than Messi
Brazil legend Pele, has sensationally claimed that Neymar is a better football player than Lionel Messi. The Barcelona maestro has won the FIFA World Player of the Year three times in a row and has already scored 61 goals this season.
Messi who is currently on-top form has turned breaking records into his hobby, He was the first player to score 5 goals in a single Champions league match, He hold the recors for the highest goal scorer in Nou Camp, and He is just 7 goals shy from becoming the highest LaLiga goal scorer. His prolific form has led to several comparisons with Pele and Maradona. But the Pele has stated that the Argentine must overtake Neymar first.
“Now everyone is talking about Messi; he is a star. But [to be the best ever] he must first become better than Neymar,” Pele said. “At the moment Messi is just more experienced.”

Ghanaian Actor Majid Michael Insults Nigerian Journalists...."Let Them Write Until They Die"
This
year's Africa Movie Academy Awards may have come and gone but one
incidence that is still being talked about is the way Ghanaian Actor
Majid Michael insulted Nigerian journalists at the press conference.
Word

defend American actor Morris Chesnut who was accused of making some derogatory comments about Eko Hotel. They instead got the sock of their lives when he insulted Nigerian journalists. This were his words;
“ They go about writing fake stories, let them continue to write until they die.”
The
journalists that were present immediately demanded for an apology from
the actor , but the organisers of AMAA promptly intervened.

The gain and pains of being a star is that I am more matured, and now everyone wants to know me and be around me.
Those are the things you gain as a star. And the pains are not being yourself, people misunderstanding you.
Sometimes you let the pains go and move on.
About any regrets in my career, oh yes sure sometimes, but it comes once in a while. Something can happen and I will say to myself ‘ oh Ella,if you weren’t an actress,this wouldn’t have happened;like on set,someone might piss me off and I will be like if I wasn’t here,will this person try it or make me overwork myself or I wouldn’t have been linked with false stories.
When asked, are you in any relationship and who is he; she said Yes, I am in a relationship.
You don’t know him. I can’t mention his name because he is not a public person and would never want to be in the public eye.
I cherish him so much and that is all. I met him about 3 years ago. I was travelling, I met him at the airport, though we didn’t get to talk then but we finally met at a friend’s child dedication and we started talking on phone from there.
He loves the originality in me. When I am not doing my job, I am me.
We understand each other so much.He specially told me that I must not make him public so I will respect that.He is in Nigeria but he travels a lot.
Sometimes he gets agitated about controversies am linked to but what can I do?I have to explain.
One good thing is that he knows me too well. He will only ask me and I will tell him the truth. He is one person who knows everything that has happened in my life in the last 3 years. I don’t hide anything from him,and he doesn’t from me too.
We understand each other so well.
If he proposes,I will definitely say,yes.But he hasn’t.Maybe he has not made it clear enough but I will say yes.

Pregnancy Pregnancy Has Made Me More Mature – Nicole ‘Snooki’
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi may be best known for her carefree, club-hopping ways, but the Jersey Shore star – who recently confirmed that she and fiancé Jionni LaValle are expecting their first child – says that having a baby on the way has changed her.
“I guess [pregnancy] just made me more mature,” Polizzi, 24, told reporters while promoting her new MTV show Snooki & JWoww Thursday in New York City.
Joined by Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Jersey Shore cast mate DJ Pauly D, the reality star explained just how much her behavior has been altered.
“It’s different because now I’m not drinking,” Polizzi notes. “I’m usually partying and going to clubs but pregnancy made me grow up a lot.”
Her best friend agrees: “[Nicole] really came into her own being pregnant. Looking at your best friend and seeing that you feel proud,” said Farley, 26.
Premiering June 21 on MTV, Snooki & JWoww follows Polizzi during her first trimester – during which she barely suffered from morning sickness. “I hardly threw up,” she notes. “I was just very tired and cranky.”
But she’s done with her signature “Whaaa” whine. “My baby will take over that sound,” she says. “I can’t wait!”
Polizzi said her beloved pickles are a thing of the past, as well. The petite star’s newest cravings are “a lot of fruits and Italian icies … no pickles.”
Lastly, she’s given up the glow. Known for her signature bronze complexion, Polizzi admits, “I haven’t tanned since August.”
Nollywood star Ramsey Nouah to quit acting
Tracking down this ‘Nollywood’ A-lister was an experience in itself, so much so that by the time I got to meet him, I felt like a soldier who had survived a very long and arduous campaign. The journey coupled with leads from e-mails, text messages and phone calls to well-known industry contacts, finally took me to the ancient city of Ibadan in Oyo state where he was in the process of shooting an epic movie.
However, because we were pressed for time, the following interview was not as all encompassing as i had hope but i had extracted a promise for him for a sequel. In this interview which revealed Ramsey as one who is very guarded about his privacy, the award winning actor talks about the industry, his humble beginnings and projection for the future after ‘Nollywood’.

TONTO DIKE ‘ABANDONS’ MOVIE SET, FACES LAWSUIT
Controversial actress, Tonto Dike, has reportedly come under fire from a producer for allegedly abandoning the set of a movie, prompting threats of court action against her.
The actress allegedly left the set of the movie, being shot in Asaba, Delta State on Monday, April 16, 2012, for Lagos, where she was said to have been involved in another movie.
According to a source representing the producer of the movie, which is being directed by Nonso Okonkwo, ‘Her (Tonto’s) absence has delayed the completion of our production which we started days ago. We are supposed to be rounding off this weekend but we can’t. Tonto cannot disappear with all the money we have paid her.’
She is being threatened with a lawsuit by the producers if she fails to return to location as soon as possible. The actress at the time of this report, could not be reached to either verify or refute the claim.
However, a spokesman for the actress when contacted by NET, denied any wrongdoing on her part, stating that there was no threat of a lawsuit whatsoever by the producers.
‘She is very good friends with the producer and I’m not sure where these stories about a lawsuit came from. She only travelled over the weekend to attend the AMAA ceremony, so the issue of her abandoning one set for another does not even arise, and is false‘, the rep stated.
The movie, titled ‘Blood Rage‘ is expected to star Dike, alongside Frank Atus, Queen Nwokoye, and others.

VICTORIA BECKHAM TURNS CAR MAKER
British fashion designer Victoria Beckham has designed a special Range Rover off-road vehicle, called the ‘Evoque’.
‘I’ve stayed very true to myself. I’ve designed a car that I want to drive, a car that I think David wants to drive,’ the former Spice Girl told Reuters in an interview promoting the vehicle a few days ago.
The Evoque features exclusive, hand-finished matte paint, the first for a Range Rover.
The vehicle also has raised gold accents on the grille and gloss black forged alloy wheels. Inside, the four-seat coupe includes vintage-inspired leather seats, rose gold-plated accents and features trimmings of black lacquer, textured aluminium and mohair.
In addition, the vehicle has luxury accessories, such as a four-piece leather luggage set and a hand-sewn leather wallet for the owner’s manual signed by Victoria Beckham.
The special edition Evoque costs $129,000 (N20.6m), twice the cost of a regular model. Only 200 will be made, the first of which will be rolled out in China as early as October.
Beckham has begun to make a name for herself as a designer, and in 2011 picked up a British Fashion Award. But the singer-turned-designer says she ‘doesn’t want to run, before she can walk’ with her clothing collection, which has become a celebrity favorite.

The ‘Rich List’, which is based on an estimate of the minimum wealth of the richest 1,000 people or families in the United Kingdom as at January of a particular year, also features 22 year old Harry potter star Daniel Radcliffe as the richest actor, with €54m (N1.1trn) as he tops the overall list for youngest billionaires under age 30.

Nigeria music icon making a comeback – at 85
An 85-year-old music legend in Nigeria
, known for the “highlife” dance music that once dominated West Africa, Fatai Rolling Dollar has mounted a surprising comeback five decades after his heyday, reports AFP.
The octogenarian, who saw his fame and money dwindle when highlife’s popularity faded, is again playing the upbeat sound on guitar to packed venues and remains, despite his age, one of Nigeria’s snappiest dressers.
Wearing a yellow-and-blue outfit, canary yellow sunglasses and a military beret, he sits in a popular Lagos bar discussing the highlife music that was born in Ghana in the early 1900s and reached its peak in the region in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Highlife features quick, repetitive rhythms driven by electric guitar and wind instruments played beneath a sometimes melancholic chant that typically satirises modern life.
In highlife’s golden era, Fatai was a nationally celebrated performer along with Fela Kuti, the legendary afrobeat musician who also boldly campaigned against Nigeria’s military dictators.
Although the rise of hip-hop has radically changed the music scene in Africa’s most populous nation, Fatai is trying to ensure that highlife does not disappear completely.
“We are reviving and reforming highlife,” he told AFP outside his modest Lagos apartment. “Highlife makes people happy.”
The beat’s new guardians have also started to emerge.
Chijioke Enebechi, a saxophone player and front man of the Highlife Africa Heritage band sees Fatai as “a kind of inspiration.”
“Despite his age, he’s still playing, and… he advises us to make sure that we don’t let this music die off,” he said.
Fatai is unimpressed at the surging popularity of hip-hop in Nigeria and questions the musical credentials of the genre’s artists.
“Hip-hop… has its own time, when this time will pass, everything will close up, but highlife will be there, because highlife is the root of the music that we have in Nigeria today,” he said.
“If you want to know a good musician, a good musician should know how to play any instrument,” betraying a slight irritation with hip-hop artists he accused of sometimes being “lazy” and simply seeking “easy money.”
Sitting in the shade of an acacia tree, — this time sporting a leopard print hat and sky blue pants with matching embroidered shirt, plus white plastic sunglasses — he seemed ready to chat endlessly about his love of music, life… and women.
“I love women,” he said with a mischievous smile. “They are important to music. There is no music if there is no woman.”
He is the father of 15 children. The youngest, not yet two years old, was born he says of an “adventure” on the sidelines of a concert in Germany.
While Fatai claims he is 85, the date of birth printed on the sleeve of one of his albums puts him at 83. Regardless of the exact figure, the salt-and-pepper goateed artist seems unbothered by his advancing years.
Money, or his lack of it, is a more pressing worry.
With his talent ignored and his fame forgotten, he lived in poverty from the 1970s until luck smiled on him in the late 1990s. Nigeria’s Jazzhole Records released the album “Fatai Rolling Dollar Returns” and the German Goethe Institute funded a concert — marking his grand return from the musical wilderness.
That reignited his passion for music, and now he is working on a new album.
He hopes to set up a music school for young artists with no opportunity to develop their talents.
“They are roaming about the streets…. They leave university, they have no jobs but they have the talent to play music,” he said.
He has appealed to the government to back his plans so that “my name will not perish.
“I have no job than music in my life. If I stop what can I eat? But God knows what will happen to me when I become very old, because I am not very old now, I am still young,” he declares.

Surely, sultry actress Foluke Daramola has not been finding life easy since her marriage collapsed some years back. The setback that the breakup caused her affected her career and her life to the extent that she is alleged not to have an apartment of her own.
We gathered that a Good Samaritan offered her his house somewhere in Marwa Gardens in the heart of Alausa area of Lagos for N250,000 for a room. The house is very close to one of her sisters’ place where she was staying before she was asked to move for reasons best known to both of them.

D?banj signs with Mercury Records UK
African pop giant and former Mo’hits boss Dapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo has signed with Mercury Records, an imprint in the UK under the Mercury Records Group of Universal Music UK.
Mercury Records is a record label operating as a standalone company in the UK and as part of the The Island Def Jam Music Group in the US; both are subsidiaries of Universal Music Group.
Mercury Records lists D’banj on their official website as one of their acts alongside the likes of UK rock singer-songwriter Elton John, Soft Rock singer Taylor Swift Irish rock group U2, former The Beatles musician Paul McCartney and others.
Although his publicist and management are yet to respond to our E-mails concerning the signing, D’banj seems to have confirmed the news himself as he has updated the bio section profile on his Twitter page.
D’banj has also launched his personal website www.dbanjofficial.com where the Mecury Records logo boldly appears in the bottom right corner.
The new bio reads ‘DB/Good Music/ Mercury/IDJ’ (IDJ meaning Island Def Jam). When asked by a fan on Twitter what ‘IDJ’ means, he responded ‘island Def Jam bro’.

D’banj who recently parted ways with his former Mo’Hits label partner Don Jazzy has relocated to the US where he will continue to push his brand and music in the foreign music market.

D’banj as announced earlier will also perform at the 2012 Barclaycard Wireless Festival which holds at the Hyde Park, London, on Saturday, July, 7 2012 and at the BBC Hackney Weekend 2012 in London come June 23 and 24.
Mercury Records is a record label operating as a standalone company in the UK and as part of the The Island Def Jam Music Group in the US; both are subsidiaries of Universal Music Group.

D’banj has also launched his personal website www.dbanjofficial.com where the Mecury Records logo boldly appears in the bottom right corner.
The new bio reads ‘DB/Good Music/ Mercury/IDJ’ (IDJ meaning Island Def Jam). When asked by a fan on Twitter what ‘IDJ’ means, he responded ‘island Def Jam bro’.
