‘12 Years a Slave’ Lupita Nyong’o on Meets Steve McQueen Lupita Nyong’o is having a moment. Steve McQueen’s Best Picture nominee 12 Years a Slave has made her a star and earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination. Her name was on everyone’s lips when she stepped out in an unforgettable red gown at last week’s Golden Globes; if they didn’t know her before, they definitely know her now. Nyong’o graduated from the Yale School of Drama and didn’t waste much time before winning the coveted role of Patsey in McQueen’s Slave . A nineteenth century slave brutally abused by the sadistic Epps (played by Michael Fassbender), Patsey was a grueling role for which Nyong’o just won the SAG Award for Best Supporting Actress. Nyongo Concludes: It’s very foreign—I’m honored to be considered worthy and that my name is coming up alongside people whose work I admire so much … it’s all very new and exciting and wonderful. For me the most rewarding thing at the moment is t

According to sources,  Ghanaian Technology Company, RLG has been served with a writ   to  appear in court   for the illegal use   of ‘Wedding Song’ by Apaaste, as the default ringing tone on their android phones. According to copies of the   writ   which I received,dated   December 27, 2013, NMJ Ghana, the management for the artist in question is demanding GhC 250,000 from RLG for copyright infringement.  They stated the wide  distribution    of RLG phones across Africa as the extent of damage to Apaaste’s creative works. The source also alleges that officials from RLG have downplayed the issue and tried to settle the case out of court but NMJ refused since the terms were unfavorable to them.

For many celebrities in Ghana and around the world, getting a partner of choice is never a challenge. The problem, however, is keeping the relationship intact till death do them part as the marriage is constantly threatened by the trappings of fame, including constant advances from members of the opposite sex. For hiplife/hip-hop, rapper and song writer, Okyeame Kwame, the road to marriage was quite a rough one following some major hiccups in his relationships with women but when he settled down five years ago with his sweetheart, Annica, he appears to have had things smooth sailing so far. Yesterday the couple celebrated its fifth anniversary with a call on fellow celebrities in marital and romantic relationships to do well to avoid the pressures from outside their unions and build genuine friendships with their partners as a sure way to preserve their relationships.

It was an adventurous childhood. I was always either playing football with boys or climbing trees. My mom got scared of my hyperactive nature and enrolled me in a drama group in church. I was awarded scholarship by the church as the best drama student. I have a first degree in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Calabar. I also hold a post graduate diploma in Computer Programming from the Federal University of Technology, Minna. Married life Married life is great. I am not missing spinsterhood at all. My husband is a great human being. He works and lives in New York. I met him through a doctor friend of mine who is his business partner. After our first meeting, he came to talk to me about some business ventures and that’s how we started talking. My first attraction to him was his personality. I don’t know how many children we plan to have yet. Experience as a producer in Nollywood I always say this: I am an actor first before being the producer or

If you have been a fan of Nollywood for over a decade ago, then you’ll be familiar with the name Ameze Imariagbe as she was one of the hottest and most controversial actresses around that period. Her acting skill wasn’t the only talking point about her. Her well-publicised romance with her colleague, Ramsey Noah, was another issue that she made the news for because Noah was staying in her house and the fact that she was widely rumoured to be the one feeding him and that he was always driving her car was always headline news. Then, just like Regina Askia, Imariagbe disappeared from Nollywood at her peak, when she was very hot and smoking. She was said to have become pregnant for Noah and she went to the US to give birth but she didn’t come back until now, more than ten years later. It is believed she is back to reclaim her place in Nollywood, and she is already making major moves. Source: nigeriafilms.com

Award-winning actress Lydia Forson has defended the crucial and priceless relevance of the annual Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAAs), saying it is a major stakeholder in raising the standards of African movies. She has therefore called on African governments to respect and support the AMAAs in particular as well as filmmakers in general. The actress noted that for the past nine years, the AMAAs has served as a huge a platform where African filmmakers are brought under one umbrella and has also helped improve the quality of movies from the continent. Lydia said the award scheme has contributed to the African film industry, as it has “raised the quality of films over the past nine years. If we compare the movies made in 2006 to 2012 some of those movies would not even qualify for screening now. Through AMAA you’re forced to see what other countries are doing and you realize you probably have to step up your game. And it has created healthy competition for filmm
