FASHION TV LAUNCH OF INTERNATIONAL STYLE WEEK 2010...

International Style Week (ISW) Limited, a fashion promotion and marketing company, based in Lagos unveiled the events of the International Style Week 2010. This event will showcase only the best of the best fashion leaders and designers from Nigeria and Africa at large over a span of 3days, starting on the 13th of October 2010.

TIDBITS

On a really sad note Ultima studios where "MTN project fame" and "Who wants to be a millionaire" used to be recorded was engulfed in fire which was allegedly caused by electrical problems,but nobody was hurt though a lot of valuables were gone nothing compares to human life... MTN project fame and who wants to be a millionaire would still go on but in another venue...We thank God.

Finally the video of one of the greatest collabos in Africa "kiss your hand remix",R2bees feat Wande coal is out and getting mad airplay,the video is aight and i guess the songs just adds to the niceness of it all...

"Naija Hail" a new song is the collaborative effort by Toni Payne Concept artists – Adol, Zara and Coded Tunes artist Olamide. The song has been picked up by the radio stations in Nigeria and is building airplay. It was produced by ID Cabasa.

BIG BROTHER REVOLUTION "PERFECT LOVE MATCH"

Big Brother Africa has provided great entertainment over the last few years but has the show created a perfect love match?

On Tuesday the 24th of August this posting popped up on a Big Brother Africa forum accompanied by a photo of Kevin and Lizzy kissing.

"Breaking News! Last Saturday (21 Aug) while at the Ogus Baba Laugh Goes On comedy club in Port Harcourt, Big Brother Revolution winner, Kevin Chuwang Pam and his lady friend, and Revolution contestant Elizabeth Gupta got up on stage and performed a track together.

Nigeria’s biggest comedian, Ali Baba introduced the couple to the 2000 strong crowd. Once they’d finished performing “Una Pata Mambo” (Anything you want, right there you get it), Kevin went down on one knee and proposed to Elizabeth. He said he kept it simple and just asked: “Elizabeth, will you marry me?”.

The crowd started screaming: “say yes, say yes, say yes” and obviously she did. Kevin then says a woman broke free from the crowd, ran onto the stage and congratulated them both with a huge hug.

This was followed by congratulatory Facebook status messages from fellow Big Brother Revolution Africa stars including Geraldine.


The news is still a surprise to many fans though because during the show last year, Kevin was seriously having the hots for Elizabeth who on the other hand was in an out, she made it clear that she liked him but couldn’t see them having a relationship. She also shared that she had “never dated a black guy” and also said “Kevin was too short for her”!
It is great to see them get together and we wish them well

Plus the last 1year has been great for Kevin, first he became the first Nigerian to win Big Brother Africa and got a whooping sum of $200,000 cheque and now he is reportedly engaged to the love of his life. Up next for is the release of his debut album and some of his singles are getting air play. Elizabeth is also working on her music and acting career, she featured in a Tanzanian movie entitled “Danger Zone” earlier in the year.

And homemade entertainment can authoritatively tell you that this two are engage and about to be married,i even saw them at Chuddy K's album listening party

HELP!!!!

I have been fortunate to meet quite a number of people,the good,bad and the ugly, guys and babes alike....
But today am going to focus on a particular specie...
I have a particular"friend" whose love of money and selfishness is utterly irritating, she cannot go out with any man if he cant buy her a drink,i know that for the first two/three dates the guy should pay but if you keep insisting that he has to pay for everything,sister your on a long thing(m looking for ways to help this "friend" of mine or should i just leave her)...

Wyclef Jean Will Not Be Haiti's Next President

The ball Wyclef Jean had tossed into the political ring of Haiti has been tossed back.

The Haiti-born singer-songwriter did not make the final list of approved candidates who satisfy legal requirements to run in his native country's presidential election, an electoral official tells the Los Angeles Times. The main reason is that Jean, 39, lives primarily in New Jersey – and not on the Caribbean island.

"He is not on the list as I speak," said the official, whose identity was not revealed.

Jean had left Haiti at the age of 9, for Brooklyn, N.Y.

One of 34 hopefuls in Haiti's Nov. 28 election, Jean and his potential candidacy brought some much-needed excitement to the island, which on Jan. 12 was ravaged by a devastating earthquake.

So far, there has been no comment from the musician.
