One of Ghana’s representatives for the Big Brother Amplified reality show, Confidence Haugen has shrugged off suggestions that her reaction when evicted from the House was a reflection of how desperately she needed the $200,000 at stake
Some commentators have described Confidence’s declaration of “Good, I’m out of this place. I’m done with you guys…” as a face saving gesture after her eviction. Quite uncharacteristic of other evictees, Confidence headed straight for the exits, declining to hug and share a word or two with the other Housemates until perhaps her closest friend, Weza, ran to hug her.
Speaking to Katleho Khabele, co-host of the Citi Drive on Monday June 13, 2011 a day after her eviction, the Aphrodisiac night club owner said she was not bothered by the lost opportunity to win free cash, insisting money was not her motivation for going into the contest. For her, it was for the exposure the show came with.
“I wanted to show that we have fabulous people in Africa just like the Kimora Lee Simonses and Kardashians; that there are hard working fabulous women in Ghana. I don’t need the money. It’s really about the exposure for me as a business woman”.
The 37 year old said she was voted out of the House because she was seen as a threat by the other housemates and not because she was rude, bossy or boring as some viewers have suggested.
“I am a friendly person, however it is easier to be friendly to people who are genuine. Those people in the Big Brother house are not genuine. It is just a game for them. I tried to be real and open with all the members.”
Movie Producer Socrate Safo has denied pulling out a gun in Kumasi in a misunderstanding with Twi-speaking actress Mercy Asiedu over the title of his upcoming movie ‘Greedy Bastards’.
The contentious director and producer in a phone conversation with GhanaCelebrities.Com today denied pulling out any gun as reported by NEWS-ONE. Narrating his side of the story, he said in the middle of the shoot of his movie in Kumasi, one of the casts asked to know the title of the movie.
Mind you, most of the movies produced featuring Twi or local actors are not shot with scripts as most of them cannot ‘speak’ and fathom the Queen’s language. Okay, let me put it this way, most of them are comfortable in the local language.
As will be expected, adlibbing becomes the other of the day when working with such group of actors. The most important thing is just brief them on the story line and then shooting begins after agreeing on their fees.
Though, the above does not apply to every Twi or local movie actor, it’s the other of the day. This explains why most of their movies are nothing to write home about with dragged scenes and inappropriate language used in the movies.
Movie makers can commence shooting a movie with a working title sometimes. These titles can be changed or maintained at the discretion of the producer. No actor has any right to argue with a movie producer or director over a title of a movie. This is gross indiscipline on the part of any actor/actress to fight a producer/director over the title of his own movie.
An actor/actress that walks off the set and threatens not to continue shooting can be dragged to court by the producer for redress if there was a contract.
Still on the phone, Socrate answered that, he wants to use ‘Greedy Bastards’ as his title based on the story line. According to him, Mercy Asiedu got angry and requested that, the title be changed since she didn’t want to be invited by the National Security or any radio station for interviews.
Naturally, Ghanaians like talking and complaining but if you know how to deal with them, then, there is no problem at all. It’s an undeniable fact that most movie enthusiasts purchase movies based on the title of the movie. Only a handful can confidently say otherwise.
‘Greedy Bastards’ is one of the terms used by the former president Jerry John Rawlings to describe ministers of his ordained man, President Atta Mills’ government. He has used several terms which movie producers have used as movie titles.
It was glaring at this instances that Socrate Safo, a smart chap with serious business acumen was playing smart to join in the bandwagon of producers who have used some of the terms by the former president to sell their movies. This, was the simple reason why, he wanted to use ‘Greedy Bastards’ though the story line has nothing to do with politics.
It became very evident that, Mercy Asiedu’s stand was because Kyeiwaa who featured in the movie ‘Atta Mortuary Man’ was constantly called by radio stations for interviews after the movie was confiscated by the government citing political connotations in the movie, though the Censorship Board had Okayed the movie to be released on the market for consumption.
Another movie that was seized with the same reason was ‘Oh Uncle Atta’.

AN ANGRY man holding a loaded gun in public is indeed a dangerous person to be near and NEWS-ONE has received reports that controversial movie producer Socrates Safo furiously pulled out a gun while quarrelling and throwing tantrums in Kumasi last week.
“He was quarrelling with Mercy Asiedu because she said he should not treat her like the actress whose pubic hair was shaved…she really gave it to him and walked off the set while the camera guys and everyone was ready.
“When she left, there was this guy laughing and Socrates thought the guy was laughing at him and before we saw what was happening, he pulled out the gun, pointed it at the guy and when we started shouting, he threw it at him. He then held his head with both hands while squatting on the floor.

No one would be proud to be called ‘Greedy’, even when we show traces of avarice in our endeavours, on no terms will we be ready to accept these traces as making us greedy individuals. This should tell you how much we despise ‘Greed’ as judicious human beings.
Being Greedy is considered as a serious disease with no external cure, the only cure is having the self readiness to get out of it. You can help a greedy person by making him more Greedy but not to get him out of his condition of Greed.
Despite the ill attitude and hostile reception we give to people known to have entrenched greed in their everyday life, there is one positive vibe these people carry which can be tapped into to increase our chances of acquiring successful in life.
A fundamental trace of a ‘greedy person’ is his/her desire to have it all even if he does not need that much. It is this very attitude that success seekers can ride on to help in achieving the success they desire.

Laughter! They say is a good medication that people don’t readily pay for. But I have not had enough of it for some time now until yesterday. You want to know why? Wait! How would you react if you got a call from a friend that she has been attacked and bitten mercilessly by her own dogs? You think that was funny huh? I thought the same.
I had a good laugh yesterday morning when former Ghana rep to the Big Brother Africa turned musician Mimi Divalish called my phone saying her own dogs attacked and bit her.
