PHOTOS: THESE LADIES AINT SMILING. FATHIA BALOGUN ENGAGES OGE OKOYE IN NEW FLICK 'STREET GIRLS'

How’s Oge Okoye’s role in a yoruba movie going to be like? Keep your fingers crossed.
Ageless and elegant yoruba actress Fathia Balogun has engaged her colleague Oge Okoye (who is known to act in English movies) in her new movie, ‘Street Girls’.
When it comes to acting, needless to say the Bon awards’ best Yoruba actress of the year 2012 knows the ropes. Her last movie ‘Sunmisola Otelemuye’ wasn’t only enthralling, it sold close to a million copies and was even one of the highest selling DVDs of 2011.
‘Street Girls’, which was directed by Abbey lanre and Tope Adebayo was shot late last year In Ilorin. The film stars Femi Adebayo, Aishat Abimbola, Mercy Aigbe, Seun Akindele to mention a few and it was directed by Abbey Lanre and Tope Adebayo.

Speaking on her role in the movie pretty thespian,Oge Oke confessed that her impression of her collegues in the Yoruba sector changed completely after the production of the movie, according to her, they are professional and committed.
The movie which is in the pre production stage at the moment will hit the cinemas this summer before the DVDs are release later in the year.

I posted Fathia’s location pictures sometime ago. Going by these additional pictures, these ladies are certainly going to do and undo. For those who believe men make action films more interesting, you will have a rethink when this comes out. Nice!!!

CHOCOLATE CITY SIGNS FIRST FEMALE ARTISTE

Chocolate City, an award-winning entertainment company owned by Audu Maikori and Paul has signed their first ever female artiste.
The label which harbours top artistes like M.I, Jesse Jagz, Iceprince, and Brymo has welcomed their latest member Princess Esindu a.k.a Pryse. The talented rapper who was born and raised in Port Harcourt, Rivers State studied media in a UK university; her influences are Jay Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, and M.I.

Energetic and talented Pryse welcomed the opportunity of being featured along-side, award winning Africa’s rapper numero uno, M.I on his upcoming mixtape “Deux Illegaux de Musique – Illegal Music 2”.
She became enlisted in the Chocolate City camp when label owners heard her part in the song “No-tis” (a cover of Jay Z and Kanye West’s Otis).

 Reacting to the honour, she said,”I thank God I’ve come this far, and I’m just happy its finally happened, and I’m ready to put in the work, so let’s go. I’m ready to be a BOI (Bold Original Innovative).”

I love the way femcees keep springing up! Yaaay!

BEHOLD BRITAIN'S MOST OVER-PAMPERED TEENAGER

She doesn’t come from a wealthy home; her parents don’t own the most expensive house, her 42 year-old father is a boiler room operator who works 15 hours per day and pays all the household bills but her mother who maintains two jobs effortlessly funds her lavish lifestyle.
Amanda Turpie gives her £1,100 monthly earnings to Paige, her 15 year-old daughter to buy clothes shoes and make up.
The model wannabe who’s from Ockendon Essex spends 90minutes dressing up for school. She proudly declares, “I am so proud to be the most spoilt 15-year-old in Britain.
Mum buys me whatever I want and if I don’t get what I want, I throw a tantrum. I want to look good and stand out. I’m determined to be famous and that is why my mum spends all her money on me.” .
Asides her school bag being a Gucci handbag, she possesses 100 pairs of shoes, designer clothes with labels including Gucci, Juicy Couture, Stella McCartney and Burberry, entire Katie Price and Amy Childs perfume and book collections, as well as diamond earrings.
Her bedroom contains velvet wallpaper and silk designer bedding; with gadgets like a laptop, flat-screen TV, an iPad and a Nintendo Wii.
But why is her mother doing this? “When I was little, my family didn’t have much money and I always wanted more clothes and shoes. I grew up in a family of four and I was always wearing hand-me-downs.
When I had Paige, I vowed she would never go without. So I spend all my earnings on her. I have done since she was born. If she needs extra things, I work extra hours.” She explained.
Amanda is also Paige’s chauffer. She’s never taken a bus in her life, “I’m also happy to pick up after her. She has never cleaned up after herself she doesn’t know how.” She added.
Although she is happy to take her mother’s money, Paige would never work like her mum does. “I love my mum and she works very hard but I could never do the kind of jobs that she does. I know money is always tight in our house but it’s important that I look good. That’s where Mum comes in.”
Wait a minute! She has a 13 year-old younger sister. Unlike her ostentatious sister, Brooke wants everything simple, she does not even demand designer clothes
Though they live in a three-bedroom end-of-terrace they bought 12 years ago for £73,000, her Dad disagrees with the issue, “I was brought up to think if you wanted something, you had to work for it. We used to get one present at Christmas and an apple and an orange. Paige would think that was a joke.” He declared.
All these for a 15 year-old school girl? Isn’t this outrageous? What’s your take?
