US PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA THROWS WEIGHT BEHIND GAY MARRIAGE

When President Barack Obama publicly declared his support for that 'vexed' issue of gay marriage, I'm sure it sent waves of shock into people's spines, as he was once strongly against it but recently he claimed his views are 'evolving'.Anyways, his republican rival, Mitt Romney had something different in mind, "I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman." He stated during his campaign.

As for Gay rights advocates, they couldn't have heard a better news, they had long urged for that declaration. Beyond that, one man who married his gay partner in Washington, D.C., was stirred to send a $25 contribution to the president's campaign. So who says Obama doesn't know what he is doing? Infact, a good number of his biggest financial backers are gay, and some have pressurized him publicly to declare his support for same-sex marriage.According to the African-American who also claims to be taking a personal position, it wouldn't dawn on his daughters, Sasha and Malia, that some of their friends' parents would be treated differently than others."I have hesitated on gay marriage in part because I thought that civil unions would be sufficient, I was sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people the word 'marriage' was something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth. It is important for me personally to go ahead and affirm that same-sex couples should be able to get married." He confirmed.Personally oo, Obama didn't fall my hand, he's cut it off totally. O_o (>_<)

SINGER JUSTIN BIEBER 'GRATIFIES MOTHER';GETS HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA

Canadian music star, Justin Bieber is finally through with high school. But that's not even what excites him most as he claimed running 'his studies' and his music career was a hell of a challenge,

"I passed my test – I'm free! It was hard doing school and work every day." He insisted.

What however will remain a source of joy and relief is that he has finally satisfied his mother, Pattie Mallette's wish.

"That was something my mom really wanted me to do," "I mean this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I've been able to travel the world. At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff. I like to be out there." He revealed!

At the tender age of 18, it is no gainsay that the 'Never say Never' star has really achieved a lot for himself, music wise. His fan base is also getting extremely wide, infact he recently became the second most popular celebrity on twitter.

Raised by a 36 year-old mum who wanted to commit suicide at 17, the boyfriend to international star, Selena Gomez now has enough time to focus on so many things including his upcoming album 'Believe', fragrance, travelling and hanging out with girlfriend.

Shaking my head for children of nowadays! So Justin's schooling was to gratify his single mother? Issokay!

FIVE YEAR OLD KID FLEXES MUSIC MUSCLES

The "great things come in small packages" maxim can best describe the personality of dimunitive rising superstar, OzzyBosco. Born in Lagos on 7th January 2007 to the popular Delta State business woman 'Chief Nonye Mojekwu,' the most fascinating thing about young and auspicious Oziomachukwu Mojekwu is that just like the late legendary king of pop, 'Micheal Jackson', Bow Wow, Justin Bieber and the likes, he has able to find his calling in music at such an unthinkable age.

He started by miming and boogeing excellently to songs of Nigerian artistes. Fully convinced he could start impressing music addicts and pundits and with the full weight of family&friends, he jumpstarted his music career in 2011.

One of his highlights was the 7th edition of the Kids Got Talent Competition held in 2011, his delivery wasn't only awesome but he also went home with the coveted prize.

Ever since then, the five year old has not only been invited for shows but also holding the audience spellbound with captivating and unbelievable performances, with this, one can safely say the hugely promising chap is not only going to heat up and be a dominant figure in the industry but take his music beyond the shores of the country.

Often referred to as the next big thing he has performed in shows like the 2011 Diamond Bank End of the year party, Little Saints Orphanage's JoyNight event, the St. Monica's Orphanage to mention a few.

OzzyBosCo's humanitarian strength is also amazing, through donations in cash and kind, he has left smiles on the faces of the less privileged children.

His latest single, Superstar featuring Lamboginny of the Sax Records and produced by No.1 Sax Boss, YemiSax is due for release in the second quarter of 2012.

The sky is therefore the stepping stone for the handsome and talented child who is determined to make an extensive impact.
