Nigerian Entertainment News!

Hey everyone, I'm back! Missed y'all. Sorry for being MIA for a bit. I had to go...get some things done! Whatever that means huh? lol!

This weekend I did something I haven't done in a while. No, not sex...shopping! lol. I shopped like crazy from Friday through Saturday, relaxed on Sunday then continued on Monday.

When I say shopping, I mean I really really shopped. I bought things that I can't even pronounce...lol. I got this 'dash' money and y'all know how sweet it is to spend money you didn't work for. lol! I mean I am a business woman and most times I put my profit back into my business, so usually I don't have that much money to play around with. I don't get 'free' money that often, so whenever I get it, it's always a treat. I even got myself a stylist. He's clothing me for the Soundcity Music Video awards. When y'all see the pix from the show and don't like what I'm wearing, I will give you all Gbemi's number to call and give him a piece of your mind...lol!

I am also supposed to do the countdown to the SMVA on Soundcity's 'Style Agent 101' programme. Basically telling people what to wear and what not to wear, the kind of make up to go for, appropriate shoes for the red carpet, how to combine colours etc...but the thing is, I have absolutely no idea what's in vogue so I don't know how I'm gonna fair on that one. So if you have any advise for me, do share. I don't want to embarrass myself on TV. My bad English is enough...lol!

I didn't work most part of last week and I ain't working most part of this week. Tomorrow, I'll be at the salon most part of the day, Thursday is the TV shoot, and Friday is the SHOW! I'm mos def gonna be there! I'm also supposed to do a TV interview with a new TV programme called Glamour TV. If it doesn't happen this Friday, it's gonna happen next week (I'm feeling like a celeb huh? e no easy! lol) I hear the TV show will be very exciting...so watch out for it.

Oh by the way, I now officially have four designer bags. A Fendi, a Cacharel, an Armani and a Louis Vuitton. Aint that something? lol. Not a big deal huh? Yeah well I have had bags but there was nothing 'designer' about any of them until now, so leave me to enjoy making the announcement...lol!

My sis Vera threw my LV bag into the thrash (not even funny!) just 'cos I told her to handle the bag with care. She was like 'get over yourself already' lol! She's a flygirl so she has all kinds of designer bags, this is all new to me. I have small money but I can't spend 50grand on a bag(at least not now)...so yes, they are all gifts. It's not easy to be a fine girl now is it? lol!

LIFE IS GOOD!

As the day passes by, the love song between Peter Okoye and former Most Beautiful Girl, Munachi, becomes louder. The love birds attended the City People Awards together holding each other and displaying free expression of affection.
