MISI AND ANIS ARE TO HOST NIGERIA IDOL.

The gentleman that will be by Misi’s side, joining her to take us through Nigerian Idol, from Auditions through Live Shows, eviction, gigs et cetera, has been announced!
Adaora Mbelu Communications Manager of Optima Media Group, licensees of the Idols franchise in Nigeria told reporters early this week that “when the show begins to air in November, our fans should expect to see two hosts”.

“Aside Misi who was announced as host at the press conference in September, we have selected Anis Holloway, a promising singer who grew from nothing to something, participating in talent shows and working hard to get his voice heard. The reason being that he knows the feelings of these singers, and we want them to see him and see prospects”

The producers say Holloway will be in charge of the field and narrating job, while Misi will handle the theatre aspect of the show.

An unrepentant music enthusiast, Sierra Leone born Anis Holloway made his first appearance as a wannabe singer on Project Fame last year before moving on to Nigezie as a presenter.

“I see this as a great opportunity for me, I saw the contestants at Enugu and it reminded me of how I was a few years ago. I’m grateful to Idols for this opportunity, and I am very positive I won’t take it for granted” Holloway said before leaving for Abuja this week.

Most Nigerian teenagers and youngsters are familiar with the Idols format. The story of Reuben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson and Timi Dakolo- talents who emerged from being nobody to becoming superstars has shown that with talent and the Idols stage, there’s nothing that cannot be achieved.

The project to discover Nigeria’s next music superstar will run from November 2010 to March 2011

Idols has been produced in different continents of the world like Poland, America, Greece and Turkey and now, Nigeria gets a chance to create an original super star we will export to the world

DAREY RELEASED TWO SINGLES FROM HIS FORTH COMING ALBUM.

The gifted star Darey is releasing two new singles off his forthcoming album come Monday, October 25. This information was confirmed by his record label/management, Soul Muzik on Tuesday, October 19.According to Darey and his management, the singles, titled "Don't Let Me Know" and "The Way You Are" will be released online this week, but the official radio release is scheduled for Monday October 25. We also gathered that the songs will be available on artiste's website www.dareyonline.com and on iTunes.

The two singles, lean towards different distinct directions: the first one, "Don't Let Me Know", is a slow, smooth and sensitive joint while "The Way You Are" is soulful, more upbeat and yet groovy enough to earn heavy spins in the clubs and dance halls.

BEYONCE KNOWLES IS PREGNANT.

Beyonce Knowles and her hubb Jay-Z are expecting their first child.

TODAY Us Magazine reported that multi-award winning singer Beyonce Knowles was pregnant.

The magazine also alleged that the 29-year-old singer and husband Jay-Z were yet to make an official announcement, but reported that Beyonce is in her first trimester.

“B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn’t ready to be a mother just yet,” says a source close to the singer.

Despite the surprise, another source says that Beyonce sees the pregnancy as “a gift from God and she’s so happy.”

But this would not be the first time that news had it on websites that the couple are rumoured to be expecting a child as in March this year, the same rumours were making waves.

But the couple that was said to be earning $122 million between June 2008 and June 2009 by Forbes Magazine, dismissed the rumours then.

If it true, Olori Supergal wishes Mr and Mrs Carter a happy pregnancy.

Finaly she's pregnant...cant wait to see her belly swell...Beyonce don geti belle hosanna!!!

KIM KARDASHIAN CELEBRATED HER 30TH BIRTHDAY IN LAS VEGAS.

Kim Kardashian got the birthday bumps this weekend.
While celebrating the first of her two birthday bashes -– one at Tao Las Vegas, the other at Tao New York -- the soon-to-be-30 reality star was wrestled to the ground by younger sister, Khloe.
"Omg," Kim tweeted from Vegas on Friday. "Khloe Kardashian is attacking me!!!"
The incident occurred after the 29-year-old reality star was pummeled by her own shoes, spiked silver Louboutins that matched her silver John Richmond minidress.
"I accidentally spiked myself and cut my own foot," Kim told eonline.com. "It was bleeding and I had to stop and clean it up!'
But the scuffles didn't prevent the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star from getting her drink on to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Tao as well as her own birthday.
"One white russian coming up!" she tweeted during the night. "Hmmm who can I drunk dial tonight?"
Providing the night's soundtrack was ex-Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland, who sang "Bootylicious" for the star and her famous rear end.

FAYEMI IS NOW THE NEW GOVERNOR OF EKITI STATE.

Kayode Fayemi has become the governor of Ekiti State three years after he launched a legal challenge to the declaration of INEC that Segun Oni won the state's 2007 governorship election.

Mr Oni was relieved of his job by the federal appeals court ruling this afternoon in Ilorin that his opponent and Action Congress governorship candidate in the 2007 election, Fayemi was the rightful winner of the election.

The court, ruling on a legal challenge to a rerun election held in the state last year, cancelled the result of voting in Ido Osi and Ifaki, saying these were concocted. The 8000 votes were then deducted from the PDP result - thus handing over victory to the Action Congress candidate.

NICOLE SCHERZINGER TAKES POISON.

Nicole Scherzinger’s new single, titled “Poison” has arrived. The European dance track was produced by Red One and will do well in the gay clubs. Scherzinger’s brief run in reality TV appears to have come to an end and now she is focusing on her music career once again.
Right after winning Dancing With The Dancers Scherzinger unveiled a song titled “Nobody Can Change Me” on Ryan Seacrest’s Radio Show, but it failed both with her fans and on the charts.
Now she is hoping to revamp that was never able to release with the inclusion of her newest single, “Poison.”

Scherzinger has been quoted saying that she is taking her newest album in a bit of a different direction and will focus more on dance tracks rather than pop hits. The Pussycat Dolls lead singer is attempting to solidify her solo career, which has received a lot of attention since she famously appeared on the reality television dance competition “Dancing with the Stars.”
It will be interesting to see what her album sounds like when it is finally released. If “Poison” is any indication, it should sound a bit different than most of her fans were expecting.
What are your thoughts on Poison Nicole Scherzinger?

MONICA REMIX HERE I AM WITH TREY SONGZ.

Monica Here I Am Remix Ft. Trey Songz –

Monica has dropped the official remix of her song called “Here I Am” featuring her tour mate Trey Songz.

The song was pretty good to start with so Trey’s unmanly voice does not not bring anything new to the sweet ballad. Too bad the original remix which featured Jamie Foxx will never saw daylight.

The Polow Da Don produced track is featured on her latest effort called “Still Standing” which did pretty well on the charts (and has sold nearly 474,000 copies to date).
