HUH! SAMUEL ETO'O HAS 400 PHONES BUT CAN'T TEXT?

Samuel Eto'o appears to be an amazing antique collector. 400 phones in one's possession, I can perfectly understand but can't text? I'm definitely taking that with a pinch of salt. And that's exactly what Hereisthecity.com is reporting.

According to the football website, the Chelsea striker has never given/thrown away any mobile phone. Now he has 400 of the devices, what exactly does he do with them? Interestingly, 14 of the phones are active while the remaining 386 are practically 'dead'.

The Cameroonian's former coach, Otto Pfister was once quoted thus, "He can not write a text message or use a laptop. He is not interested in that."

INI EDO AND MERCY JOHNSON RECONCILE ON SET

I gathered from a very reliable source that talented actresses, Ini Edo and Mercy Johnson have not been on talking terms for a long time. And both have managed to keep each other at arms length. Things seem to have changed now. Ini Edo recently paid a surprise visit to a movie set which had Mercy Johnson and Funke Akindele on board, and apparently to put the past behind them, both agreed to take a photograph (well Funke Akindele also joined) I hope this reconciliation is for real.

Nice one!
