The fires of the Lady Gaga/Madonna flame war have been stoked once again thanks to footage from Madge's recent concert rehearsal in Tel Aviv. As she is wont to do (see: Elton John, hydrangeas, etc.), Madonna previously made a fuss over Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," claiming the song was a rip-off of her own 1989 track, "Express Yourself." In the condescending, passive-aggressive fashion that has unfortunately become Madonna's trademark, she told Newsweekback in January, "["Born This Way"] is a wonderful way to redo my song "Express Yourself." I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was… interesting." Now, as if to prove her point, Madonna is incorporating Gaga's song into her tour.
The rehearsal footage (up) captured before her show in Israel reveals a mash-up of "Express Yourself" and "Born This Way." To drive things home, Madonna finishes with lyrics from her 2008 Hard Candy hit "She's Not Me." Zing! To Madonna's credit, hearing the mash-up of the two songs makes it hard to deny their striking similarities. /2012/05/madonna-fires-shot-at-lady-gaga-again.html
Beyonce's back! The new mom performed for the first time since giving birth to Blue Ivy this weekend in Atlantic City. Of course, the she blew audiences away with her powerful voice, impressive dance moves, and her unbelievably fit post-baby body. The singer performed in front of 5,500 fans, including Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia, at Revel Resorts Saturday night. She sang a whopping two dozen songs, opening with "End of Time," then peppering in hits like "Crazy in Love" and "1+1." The songstress also joked about how hard she had to work to look good her multiple glitzy, pantsless costumes. "I had to lose 60 pounds. They had me on the treadmill, eating lettuce," she told the crowd (via AP). Knowles performed Friday and Saturday nights at the same casino, and has also scheduled shows for Sunday and Monday. Leave it to this gal to jump back into four back-to-back shows after a five-month break! She won't be needing the treadmill after this exhausting holiday weekend, that's for sure. Bey also paid tribute to some of her late idols during the evening. She sang a verse of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and also gave a shout-out to Donna Summer before singing "Naughty Girl," which samples the disco legend's hit "Love to Love You Baby." /2012/05/beyonce-returns-to-stage-five-months.html

Will Smith just slapped a Ukrainian reporter across the face at the Moscow premiere of "Men in Black 3" -- and it was all caught on tape. The Ukrainian reporter tries to kiss Will on the lips on the red carpet and the actor angrily pushes him away and then backhands him across the face. You can clearly see that Will is incredibly pissed that the guy showed overt affection toward him. After Will slaps the guy, Will says, "He's lucky I didn't sucker punch him." We're told the dude who kissed Will is a television reporter who often kisses celebrities -- it's his schtick. For the record, Will just came out in support of gay marriage. A source on scene tells TMZ, the reporter's mouth brushed up against Will's and that's why the actor reacted so violently. Despite the incident, Will stayed positive ... and happily continued to sign autographs for fans and do red carpet interviews.
Rihanna was well enough to plant smooches on rapper Rick Ross at Monday evening's Costume Institute Gala, but the Bajan superstar's big night out took its toll on her body. On Tuesday, the singer tweeted a picture of her arm fixed up with an IV, her talon-like black nails on full display. Though MediaTakeOut claims Rihanna was hospitalized due to "exhaustion and dehydration," the singer has been battling the flu for the past several days. She bowed out of a dress rehearsal for Saturday Night Live over the weekend, reportedly angering taskmaster Lorne Michaels. Hopefully Rihanna takes some time to rest up, as she's got a very important gig on the horizon: She'll be singing her new hit, "Where Have You Been," on American Idol on May 23.
Rihanna and Chris Brown have gone from collaborators to passive aggressive ex-lovers with the swift drop of an extremely rude remix. Blink 182 has canceled a bunch of May tour dates because drummer Travis Barker has had some lame-ass tonsils. The Ying Yang Twins have remixed their boy Justin Bieber. It's all happening.
• Though Chris Brown seemed to have nothing but fondness for ex-girlfriend Rihanna on their last collaborative effort, a remix of her song "Birthday Cake" (sample Chris lyric: "Girl I wanna f**k you right now / Been a long time, I've been missing your body"), it seems that all is not well between these two.
The music industry's least healthy relationship ruptured sometime after Chris posted a link to his "Theraflu" freestyle, which includes very curious lyrics about an ex-girlfriend: "Don't f**k with my old b**ch it's like a bad fur / Every industry n***a done had her / Shook the tree like a pumkin just to smash her / B**ch is breaking codes, but I'm the password."
Given that Rihanna is the only Brown ex anyone knows or cares about, it's not surprising Rihanna assumed he was referring to her and tweeted, "Aw, poor dat #neaux1currrrr" before unfollowing him.
Brown subsequently tweeted, "Assumptions! I didn't say any names so if u took offense to it then its something you feel guilty about." He then unfollowed Rihanna back, because he is a ridiculous, passive aggressive child that every woman should avoid. Not to mention Rihanna could have said the exact. Same. Thing. /2012/05/rihanna-and-chris-brown-are-no-longer.html

Love them or hate them, the Kardashians aren't going anywhere for at least another three years. Reality TV's most famous family has signed a deal with the E! Entertainment network to star in at least three more seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The lucrative deal is worth a reported $40 million, making it the largest contract in reality TV history (via TMZ). Kim Kardashian and her extended circle of family and friends are worth it for E!, though. The most recent season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians was the network's most watched series, averaging about 3 million viewers per episode, and spin-off shows like Khloe & Lamar and Kourtney & Kim Take New York have proven to be extremely popular as well. The next season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians begins on Sunday, May 20. No word on whether Kim's new paramour, Kanye West, will be included in the upcoming season, but let's all cross our fingers and toes. /2012/04/tv-roundup-kardashians-sign-huge-3-year.html
The Delta state government under the leadership of Dr Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan and his team of so called transformers has turned Delta state into their personal properties making life unbearable for the common man and the average youth. Out of frustration occasioned by the selfish leadership style and governance of the State Governor and his team, graduates of Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education of Delta state origin are now subjecting their persons to different illegal businesses as an option for survival. The hope is going hopeless day after day as the Government shows no concern, but rather takes delight in making the poor become poorer. Today, vacancies are no more advertised. The essence of due process and transparency in Government has been abandoned as vacancies are now concealed by the government and its officials. The government says there are no vacancies and that the civil service is over populated but every day of the week, including weekends, appointment letters are issued.
Appointments are shared as slots to top government officials, who in turn give them to relatives or sell them to unemployed indigenes.
I have friends that have graduated for 7years, done postgraduate degrees with good grades and high sense of intellectual reasoning that can transform any sector of the public service, but these fellows have been reduced to street urchins. No job vacancies, but the Governor, for fear of being ruined, selected 50 persons from members of the ‘OCCUPY WARRI GROUP’ and gave them employment. Shall we continue to see and keep shut? For how long will these political rascals run Delta like a restaurant? I am not against the government, but I speak for development and against unfair treatment given to my friends and my fellow Deltans who deserve a better life after good education. Just like the wordings of the popular Nigerian singer and Rapper Rugged Man. “I speak my mind and I go still speak more.” Release and advertised available vacancies for they are ours and strictly our exclusive rights. /2012/04/job-vacancies-politicized.html
Assassination Plots Against Key Yoruba Leaders Uncovered By Group Posted: April 25, 2012 - 22:43
Wole Soyinka By SaharaReporters, New York A group, the Yoruba Intelligence Network said it has uncovered a plot to assassinate some key Yoruba leaders by fifth columnists in a effort to arouse the Southwest region into violence.
A statement by the head of the information bureau of the network, Kunle Aribisala said that prime on the list of the targets are Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka; former Chief of Defence Staff, Lt General Alani Akinrinade and former NADECO chieftain, Dr Amos Akingba.
"Information at our disposal indicates that the group behind the plot has chosen to strike against Dr Amos Akingba on Friday, said the network.
The Network also added that the fifth columnists in their build-up to the heinous acts have sold a dummy to Soyinka months ago through some fake security reports that Boko Haram was planning to eliminate him and other leaders which made him grant an interview to The News magazine where he raised the alarm.
The Network also said that in the last few months, the fifth columnists have tried all they could to create a Boko Haram scare in the South West through all kinds of false alarms.
"Their failure to achieve a precipitate action in the region is the reason they are now eager to eliminate these leaders to provoke violent reactions in the region"
The Network equally alleged that the news of a container expulsion at the Tin Can Port on Monday which was broken on AIT but suppressed in the media since then has forced it to cry out on these plots " part of the facts that we gathered was that an explosion would take place at Tin Can before these strikes"
It asked the people of the South West to look closely at a report planted in all newspapers in Nigeria a few days ago that a detention centre for Boko Haram members was to be built in Lagos.
"Who planted this story and to achieve what? Was it to prepare an excuse for strikes in the name of Boko Haram in South West? Are we seeing an orchestrated plan to create a war situation in the country by precipitating violence in a big nation like the Yoruba to achieve some sinister agenda by other people? These are posers to ponder on" /2012/04/assassination-plots-against-key-yoruba.html
If there is one human behaviour people don't like to be associated with, it is definitely going to be the snobbish act. But this act, as we were told, has allegedly made Nigerian female rapper, Kel forfeited a 70 million naira worth endorsement deal. By now, she would have been N70m richer. According to this gist relayed to Nigeriafilms.com, when a consultant got an invitation from a friend to attend Banky W’s birthday party which was held few weeks back, he hurriedly told his friend that he should be able to have a meeting with the artiste or book an appointment with her. This he concluded after he was hinted about Kel's availability at the party, since he has been trying his luck all this while to track her down. But it was a different ball game when he finally set his eyes on the young lady who was avoiding him at any given time. “I don’t know if she thinks I’m one of her stalker or what, I kept approaching her with so much respect but she kept snubbing me. I felt embarrassed and move out of the premises before my actions get misunderstood by anyone,” said the consultant We also gathered that he has been trying to get across to Kel through her manager Osagie but the latter’s case was nothing to write home about, as she continue postponing their several appointments. Kel was recently dropped as the brand ambassador of Soul Mate hair cream. She has been fighting to revive her music career. /2012/04/how-female-rapper-kel-lost-n70m-for.html

Wonders as they say shall never end. The Oyo State Police Command, Eleyele have paraded two suspects who allegedly killed a 42-year old woman, Mrs. Sekinat Emiola but the accussed claimed she died of Magun. . One of the suspects, Asimiyu Ayantayo the lover of the deceased allegedly beheaded her and cut off her two hands after making love with her. But the suspect claimed the deceased died as a result of the killer charm (magun) that was placed on her by another man. According to him, after making love with the deceased, she “under the spell of magun, somersaulted and died” he stated. When asked why he beheaded her after her death, he said he never wanted to use her for rituals but to make it impossible for residents in the area to identify her. “She was my mistress. I contacted magun on her during love-making. She wanted to sommersault but I helped her. Then she started vomiting after the act and she fell down from the chair and died. It was then I beheaded her and cut off her two hands. I don’t need the body parts for anything and I did nothing with it” he explained. His accomplice, Mr. Isiaka Akanbi, also denied involvement in the act, saying his friend only sent him to buy a sack for him but did not know the purpose for which he needed it. The parade of the suspects attracted many onlookers in Eleyele, who thronged the State Police headquarters to catch a glimpse of the suspect and the gory picture of the lady’s head and the hands that were severed by the suspects. Speaking with journalists on the incident, the Oyo State Police Commissioner, Mr. Tambari Mohammed, said the neighbours of the deceased alerted the police about a headless body dumped in the area. /2012/04/man-beheads-loverclaims-she-died-of.html

A LOT of us saw the humiliated jounalist online who was humialated by the so called kelly handsome.
The reason is not far-fetched as the controversial artiste has reportedly descended on a journalist over a rumoured story that he begged for a movie role. The story, which was allegedly peddled last year May 2011 had it that Kelly Hansome was seen begging a movie producer for a role in his movie. The artiste posted a picture of the arrested journalist online, where he was made to go naked holding a paper publication (as seen in the picture below). Kelly Hansome then vowed to deal with other publications that reported the said story. At about 9:36pm yesterday, Kelly was still ranting on dealing with media organisations that reported the story. He tweeted, "by the time I'm done with this guy, NO journalist will put up any news without confirming it first. I will list the [web]sites soon for everyone to know." This move, a way to go? personally i think its crazy.And so do many other nigerians, not all though. 2349ja.blogspot.com/2012/04/kelly-hansome-humiliates-journalist.html
Controversial Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua can’t seem to stay out of the news. However, this time it’s not concerning a prophetic utterance or political visitor… On Sunday 15thApril 2012, Joshua’s popular church in Lagos was witness to a disgusting yet dramatic case of a man with a truly repulsive addiction. Mr Mukaila Malomo, a Nigerian who lived in Germany for 16 years, confessed to being addicted to regularly taking a sickening concoction of faeces, Fluid and urine. According to Malomo, a graduate from the London School of Journalism, it all started one night in a prison cell in Germany. "I woke up in the middle of the night and a very wicked demon instructed me to get up from my bed,” he told the bewildered SCOAN congregation. “This strange voice said that I should go to the toilet, defecate and mix it with my Fluid and urine. I mixed my urine, Fluid and faeces and swallowed everything.” Malomo, who worked in a reputable organic salad company in Munich before a drunken brawl landed him in prison, explained that an unusual anger and desire to fight immediately followed. “After I swallowed it, a very strange power came over me. I felt as if I was a small god. It overcame me and I became very strong and angry - as if there's an extra power from another world entering my body. I was ready for war. Ever since then, for over 15 years, I have been addicted to eating my faeces, urine and Fluid. I can’t stop it.” He continued his sordid tale, explaining how each indulgence in the addiction would result in further violence. “After my release from prison, I was always fighting in Germany. Sometimes, the police would have to cover the whole street to try and stop me - and I was using only a bottle. I kept on stabbing without getting tired – because of this power that entered me.”
People present in the church could scarcely contain their shock as Malomo’s revelations continued. “It is not only my own faeces; on many occasions, I visited public toilets here in Nigeria and Germany and ate from there.” He described the mixture as food to him. “I enjoy it. I don't even perceive any smell. I eat it as if I eat eba (Nigerian cuisine) or something like that.”
