ADO OVER MERCY JOHNSON'S BLINDNESS.

Relax! We know Mercy Johnson could be troublesome in movies, but this didn't happen to her for real. This is actually a scene in a movie she just shot. Apparently she had a brawl with someone and she got a badly-designed face. Help spread the word, she isn't blind as widely reported

CHIOMA CHUKWUKA'S PICTURE PHOTO-SHOPPED?

Was this particular poster bearing Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha photo-shopped? This issue has raised more questions than answers particularly because the glo ambassador hardly appear like this in movies or on movie jackets. A report has it that the only part that belongs to Chioma is the face while the rest is another person's. I also learnt that Chioma is really angry over this as the producer didn't tell her he was going to do this.

FAITHIA BALOGUN'S LOCATION PICTURE

Ageless Faithia Balogun stunned me with this picture, obviously from a movie location. Let’s just keep out fingers crossed and find out what the look is all about. As regards the movie which is upcoming, I look forward to a masterpiece.

MONALISA CHINDA IS FACE OF CARNIRIV

Monalisa Chinda

CARNIRIV isn’t a beauty product neither has our delectable Nollywood actress secured a modelling contract. Its simply an annual internationally acclaimed Port harcourt carnival. And the ‘Kiss and Tell’ star being a Rivers indigene has been adopted as the face of the exciting event.
Now in its fourth season, the event is scheduled to take place on December 13, 2011, at the Carnival Village, Liberation Stadium, Elekahia, Port Harcourt, with the theme, ‘Our culture, Our future’.
Line up of activities include a colourful opening ceremony, children’s parade, cultural performance and a host of others.
To deepen the message of peace and security consciousness, the River State government in a specila pre-carnival activity will host the grand finale of the Miss Ecowas peace pageant on 10th December, meanwhile beauty contestants within the ECOWAS region will soon arrive Port Harcourt.

DIDIER DROGBA REJECTS CONTRACT EXTENSION

33 year-old Chelsea striker, Didier Drogba has rejected a one-year contract extension in his Chelsea football club.
The Ivorian who joined the club in 2004 and whose contract expires next summer is setting his eyes in United State, Russia or Asia-based clubs.
According to his agent, Thierno Seydi "Didier has had the offer of a one-year extension from Chelsea. That does not suit us. We know what we want, where we want to go and what offers we have. AC Milan came in for Didier on loan with an option to buy but I said 'No' straight away. Their offer did not interest us. At Didier's age, he has nothing left to prove as a player. He will go where he is offered the most money. It could be the United States, Russia, Qatar or somewhere else in Asia. Once you are well into your thirties you have to go to a club where you can be certain you'll be able to pay your bills. LA Galaxy are a possibility among many others. He has been linked with Anzhi Makhachkala in Russia, as they pay well. But neither Didier nor I have had an offer from them." He explained.
