According to Kevin Hart, when someone becomes super famous, all other things like beefs fade away. Therefore he's doing just fine and successful to be beefing veteran comedian and actor Mike Epps.
The "About Last Night" star told photographers in LA – as he was leaving Boa for 1Oak nightclub – that life is too good and his career is going so well for him to be in a trouble drama with Epps, who famously called Hart an "overrated comedian" on a radio interview weeks back.
Even though Hart claims there is no beef, we still have our doubts the beef was real
The Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima has lashed out at President Goodluck Jonathan,
calling the Nigerian leader deaf, dumb and blind over the abduction of over 200 female students of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, by the violent Boko Haram insurgents.
The state which has been the hotbed of Boko Haram activities, including bombings and killings, has become the center worldwide focus in the past one month since the unfortunate incident but Shettima who is the chief executive and chief security officer in the state, has shifted the blame to the Jonathan led Federal Government, labelling him as very slow in handling the rescue operations for the girls.
Speaking to the CNN in an interview, Shettima laid all the blame on Jonathan, saying the president failed to react fast to the situation, stating that if anything should happen to any of the girls, President Jonathan should be held as the murderer. He also urged the Nigerian authorities to negotiate with Boko Haram insurgents so as to secure the release of the girls.
Here is what he said:
If I have to talk to the devil to secure the release of the girls, I will do so.
President Jonathan did not act on time and did not talk to me over the kidnappings until 19 days after.
Is Shettima right in his assessment of GEJ?

Rihanna goes pink! The super pop star arrived at the L.A Clippers game Thursday night in an eye-popping pink hair and showing off her nipples under a white singlet!
The close-cut pink hair and bra-less RiRi certainly gave the crowd something else to look at outside of the home team’s horrible performance.
Sadly, the Clippers lost in game six of the series to the Thunder 104 – 98 but we're pretty sure some of the fans weren't even watching the game. Why would fans watch the Clippers earn loss number four in the series when they could just see a court side Rihanna show?
While Nicki Minaj is ditching her wild-but-girly-pinky-looks for a darker and more natural glance, RiRi is going wild in her new appearance.
May 24 remains the idle date but the location is what will blow your minds!
The big KimYe wedding is no longer a Paris affair. The couple has reportedly taken their yes-I-do moment to Florence - Italy even though May 24 remains the big day!
We earlier reported the French Government said the couple will ONLY get married in Paris if and only if they become French citizens and that meant, one or both of them had to live in France for 40 days before that could happen!
However, the forthcoming wedding is said to gulp millions of dollars and will take place at a 16 century fortress! Kanye has reportedly been spotted at Forte di Belvedere and its likely that’s where the wedding will hold, according to People
The fortress is allegedly known for hosting lavish events and Kimye will be splashing up to $300,000 just to secure the space. The couple will reportedly have a rehearsal dinner with their guests in Paris on May 23, the night before the wedding. Then, they’ll hop on private planes and fly to Florence, which is only about an hour and a half.
A pregnant Sudanese woman, Meriam Yahya Ibrahim, could be brutally whipped and put to death by hanging after she was convicted of adultery for marrying a Christian man.
On Thursday, May 15 a Sudanese court ordered the 27 year old woman to abandon her adopted Christian faith and return to Islam or she will be whipped and then hung. The judge reportedly asked his pregnant defendant one question: Will you return to Islam? Meriam, a married woman currently pregnant with her second child, bravely REFUSED!
"I am a Christian and I will remain a Christian."Meriam declared defiantly, according to CNN.
Meriam was charged with adultery and apostasy, which is defined as the "abandonment or renunciation of a religion by a person." She is considered a Muslim by default solely because she was born in Sudan, however, she was raised by her Christian mother and married a Christian man, her husband Daniel Wani.
Meriam's marriage to Daniel is considered void under the Sharia law solely because he is Christian. For those of you that are unfamiliar with it, Sharia law is the moral code of Islam.
Government officials claim that the ruling can be appealed by a higher court, according to a report by Daily Mail.

The most anticipated film in Nigeria, Half of a Yellow Sun, an adaptation of Chimamanda Adiche’s bestselling and award winning novel is presently screening at the New York African Film Festival and opens on Friday, 16th of May in New York and Friday 23rd of May in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, a major character in the movie, Anika Rose Noni who played the character of  Kainene said in a recent interview that she was excited playing the role of an Igbo woman.

Speaking on the partial ban in Nigeria she said “I say it’s disappointing. You can’t hide history. We want to see history and share history and talk about history so that you don’t get caught in the cycle of repetition because we are human and it is our tendency to repeat. We are at times wonderful, giving and kind and then at other times,we are atrocious and awful and inhumane. Those are the things we don’t want to repeat”.

Anika is a Grammy award winner and an American singer cum actress. She starred in “Dream Girls”, “The Princess and The Frog”. She is presently nominated for a Tony award.

The cast of the film directed by UK-based Nigerian playwright Biyi Bandele and produced by winner of an OSCAR and three BAFTAs, Andrea Calderwood and Yewande Sadiku include Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Onyeka Onwenu, Genevieve Nnaji, OC Ukeje, Anika Noni Rose, Joseph Mawle, John Boyega, Wale Ojo, Tina Mba, Zack Orji and Hakeem Kae-Kazim.

Angelina Jolie says the next movie she and Brad Pitt will make together will be an ''experimental art piece''.

The couple - who met on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' in 2005 - are teaming up again for a new big screen outing written by the actress, but the brunette beauty insists it won't be a blockbuster like their previous collaboration. She said: ''I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me.

Just for fun. ''Just an independent little art piece. Because we don't get to do those as much as we'd like. But it's something really small and experimental.'' Brad and Angelina's five-year-old daughter Vivienne appears alongside her mother in new movie 'Maleficent' as the young Princess Aurora but the Hollywood star admits she and her fiance - who also have children Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox - were reluctant for her to be in the film.

However, Angelina felt there was no choice as other children were so terrified of the title character she plays in the film, a reimagining of the 'Sleeping Beauty' story. Speaking to People magazine, she said: ''I don't want our kids to be actors. But we realised early on that four and five year olds were not going to be comfortable in a scene with me. I would say hello to kids and they would cry.

''So I went back and said, 'Maybe...' So Brad and I had a long talk about it because it wasn't an easy choice to kind of make her [Vivienne] more public. But we thought less of that and more of time spent on-set with Mommy.''

Music today can be defined as nothing but rhythmic beats and funny choruses. Where are the days of Good Music with inspirational messages?
Davido hit song “Skelewu” got the whole continent tapping their feet and dancing in different styles but a school of thought believes all this is bad influence.
Read what he says: -
Around the country, from buzzing speakers, today’s Nigerian music is replete with just anything but content. From Terry G’s Free Madness, Flavour’s Shake, Iyanya’s Your Waist, W4’s Control, D’ Prince’s Chop Banana to Dammy Krane’s Kunle, Wizkid’s Caro, Olamide’s Turn Up, Wande Coal’s Rotate, Kcee’sPullover, D’banj’s Don’t Tell Me Nonsense… the list is endless.
On the streets of Lagos, Port-harcourt and Abuja, every Nigerian youth wants to be a musician. He tells you about his “talent”. And when he senses an iota of doubt, he’s swift to remind you about the age of Davido and Wizkid. He’s even quick to throw his demo in your face. When you eventually succumb, you can’t but wonder about his brazen use of unending Onomatopoeia and Timaya’s legendary use of “O” in literary all his Songs.
In sharp contrast, artistes with content seldom headline the big shows. Who for instance knows the whereabouts of Asa? When was Time Dakolo’s last time out with Star Trek? Or even Cobhams Asuquo headlining say…wait for it …Kennis music fiesta!


How many kids does Lil Wayne have? Wayne has four children—three sons and one daughter. His first, a girl named Reginea, was born when the 29-year-old rapper was just 15. Weezy married the mother, his childhood sweetheart Antonia Johnson, on Valentine’s Day in 2004, but sadly, they divorced two years later. Son Dwayne III, born to ex-girlfriend Sarah Vivian in Cincinnati, followed on Oct. 22, 2008, and on Sept. 9, 2009, the tatted-up “Lollipop” rhymer welcomed another son, Cameron Carter, born to actress Lauren London. Wayne’s youngest, Neal, arrived on November 30, 2009. The mother, singer Nivea, was once married to Terius “The-Dream” Nash, and she has three children with the acclaimed R&B producer.
After recently announcing that he would not return to “The Voice” as a coach, will.i.am was ironically kicked out of an airlines’s first class airport lounge.
 
The former Black Eyed Peas star took to Twitter to share his rage with United Airlines which asked him to leave the first class airport lounge after a staff member thought his membership card was fake.
will.i.am did not happen to include which airport the incident occurred at, however, he was seen in Washington D.C. for friend and fellow musician Diddy’s commencement speech at Howard University.

 n response, United Airlines released a statement saying:
“We invite only customers traveling in United Global First, customers with Global Services status traveling in United BusinessFirst, and customers traveling in first class on other Star Alliance carriers to visit our Global First Lounges. Since the customer did not meet these criteria he did not have access to the lounge. We are reaching out to the customer and appreciate his business.”
We hope this situation is handled appropriately, will.i.am seemed a little p.o.’ed with the United Airlines staff.

We aren’t sure about this one… but the New York Daily News is reporting a source close to the Carters has revealed the reasoning behind the brawl and it involves Rihanna.
Reportedly, Jay Z made plans to attend Rihanna‘s Met Gala after party alone and that set Solange off! Of course, this was after Jay Z confronted Solange because some of her “non-famous” friends were trying to get into the ball using Jay Z’s name.
The site reports:
“They wouldn’t leave and kept name dropping Jay Z. They were pretending they were guests of his and not hers. Management went to Julius (Beyonce’s bodyguard) and said there’s a problem.”
After shutting down Solange’s friends, the younger Knowles decided she wanted to leave the party but the only problem was that Jay Z wanted to go to Rihanna’s party without Beyonce and of course, without Solange.
A source told the New York Daily News, Solange chided, ‘Why can’t you go home?’ to Jay Z and exclaimed ‘Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?’” to her sister.
That’s when things went left, Jay responded “You’re one to talk” causing Solange to flip out and physically attack her brother-in-law.
