Yesterday at the premiere of Becca’s new music video ‘No More Away’ featuring Nigerian rapper, M.I, the Ghanaian songbird (Becca) showed her dangerous curves and banging body…A true BANGER right?

Also at the premiere were Actress Yvonne Nelson, Asamoah Gyan, Richie, Eazzy and others…As usual, GhanaCelebrities.Com was out there to get the scoop and photos for you guys.

Check out the photos below…(Hover on photos for names)

And is it not too HOT for this Dr. Cryme? OH

What else can be said about Jackie Appiah, especially with this photo up in your face…With or without a stylish dress, Jackie Appiah truly defines Africa beauty…

What do you think?

Believe it or not, we have real champions and local champions. The former take their jobs or whatever competition they are involved in as a craft, they go through vigorous training to perfect their craft.

When it comes to local champions which most of our African movie stars and film-makers are; they have this false assumption of talent and passion. What is talent and passion if it is not constantly trimmed and developed? Again, what is talent and passion if it cannot stand tall in a competitive market?

I am sick of the whole talent and passion talk; I will only pay attention and take someone who claims to have a talent or passion serious if this is backed up by series of conscious efforts to perfect these talents. And I believe any reasonable investor or movie Director will do the same.

How many times have you heard our local champions proudly say they are into movies because they believe they have the talent and passion…Even if passion and talent pushes you into a field, don’t you have to enhance yourself and experience now that you are there?

With millions of trainings, courses and workshops all around the world for Actors and film makers, our African local champions are still glued on talent and passion to the extent that they find no need to undertake any of these enterprises.

Wouldn’t it be nonsense to your reasoning if you I told you I want to be a pilot because I have the passion and talent to be one? Better still, will you ever hire a pilot or get on a plane which the pilot has no training but only passion and talent?

Though the above analogy may sound absurd, that is how ridiculous talent and passion makes you.

Don’t we see the best footballers in the world training and perfecting their skills day in and day out?

What is no different about movie making and acting in Africa that majority of our local champions think they only need talent and passion to make it to the top?

I get at least 5 new people each week telling me they want to be Actors. When I enquire about what they have done to place themselves above the many out there, they simple answer, I have the talent and passion.

When a film maker with no training but only talent and passion hijacks a set of Actors who do not also have any sort of training but talent, passion and probably looks, the end result is the garbage our industry keep producing…

Let’s say until our local champions begin to recognize the power in knowledge, training and personal development, we are stuck with those hopeless movies and acting!

Few days ago, GhanaCelebrities.Com captured photos of Nadia Buari and Michael Essien hanging out at Nana Aba Anamoah’s private birthday party in the midst of several other celebrities.

Contrary to our report (Click Here To Read), certain media outlets blew our story out of proportion, with some even stating that Nadia Buari and Michael Essien are officially back together.

As the only media outlet at the event who spoke to both Nadia Buari and Michael Essien, NO where did we state that there was a comeback but some of the outlets which picked the story from us added ‘excessive sugar’…

Nadia Buari has responded to the added sugar…

Read below for what she told Citifmonline.Com

Award winning actress, Nadia Buari, has denied media reports that she and Chelsea midfielder, Michael Essien, are back together as a couple.

News of the two former love birds making up through a purported amorous kiss went viral on the internet last week at the birthday party of newscaster and host of Diva’s Show, Nana Aba Anamoah held at Villaggio Primavera.

Speaking on the Brunch in the Citi hosted by Jessica Opare-Saforo, Nadia explained the speculations emanated from “innocent pictures” which were taken during the party.

“There was no kissing; it was just blown out of proportion,” she said.

Nadia further explained that “we were trying to take pictures and the media paparazzi were also taking pictures. We were to take just two shots but they were still taking a lot pictures and I was really shy so I tried to leave and Essien was just trying to cover my face that’s all.”

Confidence is surely not out here only to study…She is catching up on shopping in-between her classes. She shared the below photos of herself today and wrote ‘Shopping time‘…

Do you feel her London style?

The common trope in western Literature-Love At First Sight, in which a person, character, or speaker feels romantic attraction for a stranger on the first sight of them seems to have become a reality in our bigger world.

For many years in real life, people have and continue to claim the experience of this trope. If you have not experienced this before like I have not, you surely must have heard about it or come across someone proclaiming to have experienced it.

In my little world, love is a complex journey made up of a collection of attributes. Love therefore is a collective name for attributes such as kindness, respect, understanding, affection, lust, like, admiration and others. So for love to exist in my world, these attributes must prevail. (more…)
