K-Bos can be Boss of my world anytime!!



Look out Nigeria there's a new international talent in Kenya who is all set to displace you of your hold in the Kenyan market!!

K-Bos, fresh outta Botswana is HOT HOT HOT!!

He has been chewing mics since he was eleven. His attraction and long-term relationship with Hip-Hop was sparked at home when he first listened to a Sugarhill Gang record.

The BosMan's passion to become (and remain!) an MC was stirred up when he first performed at a variety show in ’95 in front of a fairly large crowd.

K-Bos has a dream and it is that of changing the state of Hip Hop in Africa and the world!! Me likes this man of vision ad talent very much!!

Plus not only is K-Bos an accomplished MC but a songwriter of note.

In September 2008, he participated as one of the judges at "Strictly Hip-Hop 2008", in Pretoria South Africa, where he was also headlining alongside Jozi (S. Africa), Ivy League (S. Africa), and Scar (Botswana). November 2008 saw him featured on Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes Vol.45, hosted by "Gym Class Heroes", which features several other internationally acclaimed Hip-Hop artists including The Game, Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Kanye West, Young Jeezy, Nas and many more. The song Jus So U Know went on to establish K-Bos as a force to be reckoned with and enjoyed high rotation on radio stations in Botswana, even topping local charts.

The BosMan has also branched out to further demonstrate his world-class entrepreneurial skills through the creation of "BosMan Enterprises (Pty) Ltd", which deals with marketing, events management and coordination, and the overall promotion of the "BosMan" brand and clothing label. The BosMan album was released in May 2009 to critical acclaim and continues to break new ground with its brand of clean and entertaining Hip-Hop. A remix for the first single of the album “Garass-Pampiri” was recorded featuring all the leading radio personalities in Botswana and catapulted K-Bos to a superstar in the making.

See why I am completely blown away with this man??

Plus he has performed as an opening act for International Reggae Artist “Shaggy” (May 2009), been on the Cover of Botswana’s first Hip-Hop Magazine “HUB” (July 2009), his videos for the songs “Jus So U Know”, “Face-Off” and “Garass-Pampiri” - are and have been airing on MTV Base and Channel O across Africa.

Watch out world, there's a new star in town and he ain't afraid to shake your world!!!

Beyonce a stupid girl??


It Seems that DIVA cat-fights may be back in season in 2010 as singer Pink has taken a jab at Grammy Award singer Beyonce.Oh boy!

Pink who has a hit song named “Stupid Girls” (which makes fun of airhead celebrities) took to the stage Monday night and did a Beyonce stint while performing the song.

Beyonce has not commented on the performance but im sure with Jay-Z by her side she will not take this laying down, (Pun intended)

Well at least all this controversy will help both parties sell more records...

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz engaged!!



Alicia Keys is off the market-(silent scream as men worldwide experience their hearts breaking!!)

She's been off the market for at least a year, but now the star is REALLY off the market.

Tabloids are reporting Alicia got engaged to producer/rapper Swizz Beatz over the weekend.

Us Magazine site's got a ring pic to prove it.

Beatz outspoken ex, Mashonda has yet to make a comment!!

Guess "No One" can get in the way of how Alicia feels about her man...

The proposal reportedly occurred in Hawaii on Jan. 24, a day before Keys' 29th birthday. She was snapped by paparazzi flashing a 7-carat diamond while strolling the beach with her man.

Swizz Beatz admitted to the romance with Keys last May, after hinting at it in a remix for Drake's "Best I Ever Had."

New brad and Angelina game!!shame shame!


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie''s adopted children have found place in an online game that enables players to purchase orphans as ''fashion accessories.''

The game titled, My Minx, also allows young girls to give contraceptives and morning after pills to their online avatars.

Good God!What is the world coming to???

Kenzo's New song 'Hey you' brilliant!!


The gorgeous Kenzo has a new tune and it's deadly!!!

It called 'Hey You' and is all about players and men being dogs.

He spoke to us and said we must watch out for the video soon and if it will look anything like what it sounds, then i can see a MAMA coming his way!!

Talk about talent!!

Things have gotten very 'UGLY' for Ugly Betty as it gets cancelled!!


It's ugly news for all the fans of "Ugly Betty."

ABC says the series will be canceled after this season.

A critical and popular success with its premiere in fall 2006, "Ugly Betty" has struggled in recent years with audience erosion. I can vouch for that-i stopped watching after season 2.

But there are 8 episodes left and they will be allowed to finish.

The series has been saluted with Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody awards, among others so it is quite sad it's over.

Guess life will go on without Wilhelmina and Betty-At least there's the new season of 'Lost' to look forward to!!

Yay!!!!

Victoria Beckham's Rep Slams Bunion Rumors




Victoria Beckahm has BUNIONS (Cue drama music!)

Ok ok so i am exaggerating. The former spice girl had stopped wearing her trademark heels and opted for flats sparking off these rumours.

However her spokesperson dismissed the rumours of a foot deformity insisting the star donned flats earlier this week for a "change of image."

The singer-turned-designer shocked the fashion world on Monday when she was spotted walking through Los Angeles airport in a pair of ballet pumps, despite previously declaring she would only wear them in a dance studio.

Can't believe we have so much time on our hands nowadays that we are discussing FEET!!geez

'Poltergeist' Exorcist Zelda Rubinstein Dies


"Poltergeist" star Zelda Rubinstein has died, at the age of 76.

The actress, who played spirit talker Tangina in Steven Spielberg's cult 1982 film, was hospitalized in Los Angeles in December after two of her major organs failed.

Internet reports suggested the petite star was close to death after she was reportedly taken off her life support machine, but friends and family insisted Rubinstein was on the mend earlier this month.

Her agent, Eric Stevens, has now confirmed she passed away of natural causes in Hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Poltergeist was Rubinstein's big break in Hollywood. She went on to appear in films like "Poltergeist II: The Other Side", "Sixteen Candles", "Teen Witch" and "National Lampoon's Last Resort", as well as U.S. TV shows "Caroline in the City", "Picket Fences" and "Mr. Belvedere".

From 2000 to 2006 she narrated spooky TV show "The Scariest Places on Earth".

Rubinstein was also an activist for HIV and Aids awareness.

May she rest.

Pre-nup and not break up!!!



So are they or aren't they-breaking up??

Frankly i am sick of speculating if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are going to break-up or get married or blah blah!!

But news in now states that we have mistaken a pre-nuptial agreement for a break-up.

Apparently the couple have allegedly signed a mega-million equivalent of a pre-nuptial agreement, which will cement their relationship.

The couple signed the document in early January where they agreed to share their money and assets and custody of their six children, all of whom who would live with Angelina in the event of their parents’ break-up.

Well at least now 'we' can all shut up about it and get back to work!

Grieving Liam Neeson Drops Out Of Film


Liam Neeson has dropped out of a major movie project with Jeremy Irons about the saint who brought Christianity to Scotland - citing his grief following the death of his wife Natasha Richardson last year.

Richardson passed away in March following a skiing accident in Montreal, Canada.

Neeson had signed up to star in a new film by Scottish director Norman Stone, about legendary historical figure Saint Columba, but the moviemaker admits the 57 year old has now scrapped plans to appear in the historical drama.

Stone reveals that after Richardson's sudden death, he gave the actor several months to decide whether he wanted to continue with the role but Neeson felt he couldn't go ahead with the project.

He says, "It has been a difficult time for Liam. I think he would have been great in the film. We wanted him to play the part of King Aidan, who has fiery clashes with Columba (played by Irons). It would've been great to see him alongside Jeremy.

"The script was with him for several months and I understand he loved it. He has decided not to go ahead, which is a pity, but the decision was made after what has been a difficult time for him and I respect the circumstances. He is a truly great actor."

Aw poor guy.

It was roaringly successful. The courtyard at Mwenda's, sporting new tasteful decor, was jam packed with Afya Kenya Foundation supporters who turned up to help raise awareness and funds to tackle health issues in Kenyan Society.

Fans came out in force to watch the dazzling performances by Limbe, R&B crooners Elani( who my friend Haanee Khan says were "awesome"), the effervescent Dan Chizi with his band, The Wananchi and Sauti sol who brought the house down with their hit singles such as 'Blue Uniform', 'Zosi' and 'Lazizi'.

Can't wait to be there next time:)

Kanye West 'snubbed for Haiti telethon'


Producers of the 'Hope For Haiti Now' telethon appeal have reportedly ruled out an appearance from Kanye West.

Following the rapper's highly-publicised antics at several live shows, such as last year's upstaging of Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs, organisers of the forthcoming fundraiser have said that he will not be invited to the event.

Honestly maybe they should give him a break, it's been ages since that hapenned!

"After what he said on the Katrina telethon and the way he behaved at the MTV Video Music Awards, everyone agrees it's just best that he does not participate," one producer told USA Today.

"Kayne has to make everything about himself. He will do anything to steal the spotlight and, well, this night it's just not about him."

That's abit harsh!! I know deep deep deep deep deep deep deep down he is a good guy and his mamma raised him right, and he does want to do what's right so maybe someone should cut him a break?

A host of stars have been confirmed for the bi-coastal telethon, including hosts George Clooney and Robert Pattinson as well as live performances from Bono, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Taylor Swift-AH that explains why they don't want Kanye!!!

The fundraiser is due to be broadcast across a number of US networks, including MTV, ABC and CNN.

Kelly Rowland clothes thief?


Oh oh looks like Kelly isn't as sweet as we thought!

An upcoming fashion designer has criticized Rowland after the singer borrowed a collection of expensive clothes and then allegedly failed to return them.

New York-born Laura Dawson, who recently relocated her clothing business to London, claims she loaned several outfits to the former Destiny's Child star four weeks ago but has yet to have any of them back.

Dawson claims all of her calls to Rowland's representatives have gone unanswered and she is appealing to the star to return the key pieces.

Wow, look who's the SCRUB now!!

Adam Lambert: 'AMAs kiss went too far'



Adam Lambert has told Oprah Winfrey that looking back he probably would've done things differently during his controversial American Music Awards performance last year.

The singer made headlines after his rendition of 'For Your Entertainment' included him kissing another man.

"I don't regret the actual performance, but I probably would've included the kiss and the gyrating as part of the rehearsal, just so ABC could see whether they liked them," he said on today's The Oprah Winfrey Show.

He continued: "It's about being professional and it's a professionalism I didn't realise before."

Lambert also confirmed that the "boys on leashes" were a planned part of the performance, but elements like the kiss "went a little too far for some people".

When asked by Winfrey whether he "just felt like kissing somebody", the star responded in agreement.

"The lyric in that part of the song is very risqué and I wanted to be risqué, too," he added.

Beyonce's Baby Plans


Beyonce is finally considering motherhood once her current career break is over. The 28 year old recently announced she's taking a six-month break from music once she completes her world tour in February, so she can "recharge her batteries" and "just live life".

And Beyonce, admits she has been waiting for some downtime to start family-planning with the hip-hop star.

She tells Allure, "I definitely want to have a child... I hope that those things will just happen naturally. I still haven't had time to relax."

Conan O'Brien Scores $32.5 Mil from NBC


Conan O'Brien is losing "The Tonight Show" but he'll be getting a $32.5 million consolation prize courtesy of NBC ...

According to TMZ, Conan has agreed to sit on the bench until September. Basically -- he can't host another show until the fall.

In addition to the $32.5 mil, NBC is also paying severance to Conan's "Tonight Show" employees. In all, NBC's payout is around $40 million (according to sources).

But Conan probably won't see close to the $32.5 mil. Under the deal, any money Conan makes during the remaining contract period with NBC will offset the network's obligation. So, if Fox were to make a deal with Conan and pay him $25 mil during the NBC contract period, Conan would only score $7.5 mil from NBC.

One well-placed NBC source told us something surprising -- looks like NBC may keep its intellectual property rights. So Conan can't take his creations -- such as Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and the Masturbating Bear -- to his next gig.

TMZ also saidthe Conan/NBC deal still isn't completely done, but it's very close.

Brooke Shields heading Nicholas Cage's way



It appears Brooke Shields has a little something in common with Nic Cage -- the actress is accused of stiffing the IRS out of more than $10,000.

According to a federal tax lien filed on December 31, 2009 -- the same day Uncle Sam smacked Cage for $6 mil -- Shields and her husband Christopher Henchy owe $4391.70 in unpaid taxes from 2004 and $5932.50 from 2005.

It's unclear as to why it took the government 4 years to clamp down on the couple.

FYI -- In 2005, Shields had a lot on her mind -- that was the year she got into a major media war with Tom Cruise over the use of psychiatric drugs.

Michael C. Hall Wanted To Keep Cancer A Secret


Dexter star Michael C. Hall only opened up about his cancer diagnosis because he feared a public appearance at an awards show would give away his secret. The actor was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma last year.

The disease is in remission but he is continuing with treatment. He kept the news away from his Dexter co-stars, but finally revealed all about his cancer battle last week. And Hall, who wore a woolly black cap at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, admits he felt obliged to open up about his illness because he didn't want fans to be shocked when he arrived on the red carpet.

He tells USA Today, "It's a personal matter and to be completely frank, I had every intention of keeping it quiet. Because the award shows were imminent, I figured I would make a statement. It was also nice to make a statement at the point in my treatment that I did, where I was able to assure people that I am really on the road to recovery. I'm doing fine."

Hall walked away with the Golden Globe honor for Best Actor in a TV Series/Drama at Sunday's glitzy bash.

Susan Boyle snubbed as left outta Brit Nominations

Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has reportedly been snubbed in the 2010 Brit Awards nominations list.

The Scot, whose debut LP I Dreamed A Dream was the biggest-selling album of 2009, is allegedly not up for any gongs at the annual music ceremony.

More than 1,000 record industry and media professionals voted on the shortlist, which was announced today.

The 30th Brit Awards are held at Earl's Court Arena in London on February 16.

Cheryl Cole, Robbie Williams, Lady GaGa, JLS, Kasabian, Dizzee Rascal and Florence and the Machine have been confirmed to perform at the ceremony.

Kim Kardashian blames sisters for her drunkedness!


Kim Kardashian only agreed to a boozy night out for her sister Khloe's birthday last year because she was tired of her sisters calling her boring.

Khloe treated her friends and family to a lavish booze-fuelled bash in Las Vegas when she turned 25 in June, and teamed up with her other sister Kourtney to convince Kim to join in the drinking.

However, Kim has vowed never to touch alcohol again - because she ended up with a massive hangover after the party.

She says, "The reason I got drunk then was thanks to my sisters pressuring me. Every night I'd be so tired of hearing them calling me boring for not drinking, I just wanted them to shut up. I certainly won't be repeating an evening like that. I mixed way too many drinks. I couldn't even get up the next day and I was so nauseous. I can't actually remember much from that night, so I have no idea if I did anything silly."

Wow, she really is spineless!!!

PETA Hits Back At Kelis



Officials at PETA have urged Kelis to follow in the footsteps of Pink and Charlize Theron by shunning fur, following her scathing criticism of the animal rights organization last week.

Kelis wrote an open letter blasting bosses at PETA after they encouraged her to ditch her favored furs.

Addressing her fondness for animal coats, Kelis wrote, "It's not just the look of fur. It's warm as hell and feels glorious, ever rubbed faux fur on your body? Nothing luxurious about that."

She went on to call PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk a "batty" hypocrite - but her childishness has made chiefs at the organization more determined to make Kelis give up animal pelts.

In an open letter, one PETA boss writes, "We've been inundated with phone calls and emails from folks alerting us to photos of you wearing a fur hat and coat while out in London over the weekend. Please know that animals killed for their fur endure immense suffering. Foxes, minks, coyotes, and rabbits - and even dogs and cats - are bludgeoned, strangled, genitally electrocuted, and even skinned alive for their pelts."

"If you enjoy the look of fur, renowned designers, including Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Stella McCartney, and Vivienne Westwood, couple fashion with compassion and use only faux fur in their lines. We hope you found this information helpful and will join countless celebrities, like Charlize Theron, Khloe Kardashian, Pink and Michelle Obama, in publicly swearing off fur."

That’s gonna get her milkshakes in a twist now isn’t it???

Nicolas Cage pledges to pay back taxes



Nicolas Cage has reportedly agreed to pay the IRS all the funds he owes in back taxes.

Beyonce on a break and how she will spend free time


Beyonce is taking a well deserved holiday and what is she going to be doing??well here is a list of what she plans to do.

Beyonce says during her break:


1. She is not stepping into the studio and will stay away from her shoots and recordings.

2. She would eat out a lot and would be visiting lots and lots of restaurants.

3. She is also eager to take up a few classes (maybe cooking or French-learning)

4. She is also keen to head into theatres and watch lots of movies munching popcorns to give her jaws something to work upon.

5. She, even, is desirous of making a dash to the Broadway theatres and witness some plays. Hmmm….

6. And finally, she quips, she’d be doing a lot of random things (of which neither she nor we have any idea, at present).


Guess Jay and baby making didn’t make the list huh Bey???

Wyclef loses friend in quake


Wyclef Jean has been left devastated after his friend, rapper Jimmy O, was found dead in Haiti following last week’s earthquake.

The former Fugees star appealed for information about his pal after he failed to get in touch in the aftermath of the quake.

Wyclef threw himself into finding his friend and helping his native country by recovering dead bodies and searching in hope of finding survivors amongst the rubble.

But Wyclef's search for Jimmy O, ended in tragedy when his body was discovered near capital Port-au-Prince on Friday.

He is now set to host a telethon this weekend with George clooney’s organization on MTV to help raise funds for the victims of the quake.

Poor guy.

Angel Champagne by MC will hit US stores later this year.

In announcing her new champagne on Friday, Carey poked fun at her boozy performance at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 6.

The pop star and filmmaker pal Lee Daniels were toasting the success of their film Precious backstage and she hit the podium a little tipsy.

She says, "(I) didn't realize they put the champagne on the tables, so we WOULDN'T drink it!"

Bless her, she never used her brain did she???
