Ghanaians were given yet another reason to smile alongside celebrating this year’s Independence Day. The night of 6th March saw the premiere of the much anticipated and star-studded movie – ‘Devil in a Dress’ at the Silverbird Cinemas (Accra Mall and Weija). A cross section of the holiday celebrants made it to the cinema halls to catch the glimpse of the movie.

Not only was the premiere of ‘Devil in a Dress’ a success in Ghana, but in Nigeria as well. The producer of the movie, Kafui Danku, who featured in the movie as well, was on Peace FM’s Entertainment Review this afternoon to talk about the movie.

According to Kafui, the movie, which is on high demand by both Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians will be made available to the general public on DVDs this coming Friday (29th August, 2014). This is to ensure that all movie lovers who did not have the opportunity to attend the premiere get the chance to own a copy and watch the high-rated movie for themselves.

“’Devil in a Dress’ was premiered and showed at the Silverbird Cinemas for a long time but it’s now ready on DVD which is coming out this Friday so I will plead with everybody to go and get a copy for him’herself when it’s finally out”, Kafui stated.

Since breaking onto the hip hop scene, Nicki Minaj has been known for a lot of crazy stuff, mainly regarding wearing flimsy clothing in music videos and flaunting her butt like, all the time.

Slated to perform at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, the ‘Anaconda’ artist has been rehearsing for the show and her performance is to include a snake to augment the ‘anaconda’ title of the track.

On Friday, the snake being planned to be used for the performance, a 6 foot long Dumeril Boa Constrictor named Rocky, bit one of the performers during rehearsals, initiating a halt to the session as the performer received medical assistance.

The incident occurred as she had the snake draped around her shoulders, and the bite was on the inside of her left arm. Boa Constrictors are non-venomous, but the show was stopped anyway as the woman was given treatment, then sent to a nearby hospital simply as a precautionary measure.

Ghanaian actress-Yvonne Okoro has taken upon herself to encourage underprivileged persons to be focused in life and the career choices they make.

The popular actress visited OrphanAid Africa’s young adults at the Young Adults Support Services Ghana (YASS Ghana) premises at Medina in Accra on Friday August 22 afternoon—and told the children they shouldn’t give up on their dreams of becoming successful persons in life just because of what people think or say about them.

OrphanAid Africa is a non-profit organization developing programs and projects to help vulnerable children and their families in Ghana.

The organization was originally founded as a local NGO in Ghana in 2002 and progressively grew internationally with registered branches in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.

WEEKLY DISCUSSION: Bedtime Stories | Do You Prefer the Lights Being On or Off?

As adults, we all have preferences and a right to decide what works for us—especially when it comes to private activities like what goes on in our bedrooms.

I am one of the many (perhaps in the majority) who feel comfortable and able to enjoy what is being done to my body if the lights are off—I wouldn’t mind a candle at the corner of the room though.

I’ve been with men who want to see what they are touching and therefore would want the lights on, bright and shinning.

When I was with these men, I had to compromise but to be frank, I never enjoyed the bedtime stories to the peak because the light was always a destruction and I couldn’t push my mind to the far away land.

Luckily for me, my current partner does not mind if the light stays off or on, and though we do not have a choice when we do it in the day, at night, I get to crawl and put the light off—and then, I can comfortably get into my element.

Ama K. Abebrese Responds to ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Bashing | Defending the Indefensible

Ghanaian actress/TV personality-Ama K. Abebrese is one of the many African celebrities who have been bashed online for their participation in the on-going ALS Ice Bucket Challenged, aimed at raising funds for ALS. So far the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has raised over 50 million dollars…

Though Ama K. Abebrese is more than a friend to this blog, we still could not sit back without telling her the obvious truth—we did so in our yesterday’s publication.

Defending her action, Ama K Abebrese has said among other things that, she does not know when donating money to a charity became a problem, because that is exactly what she did.

The question is; which charity did she take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to donate money to?

She had previously mentioned that there is no ALS charity in Ghana and so she was going to donate to the Children’s Heart Foundation Ghana. No one has a problem with her donation, but you do not have to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to be able to donate to the Children’s Heart Foundation Ghana—and this is where many of us think she got it wrong.

The whole ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has become a celebrity publicity gimmick, especially among the African celebrities…

Somewhere in the world, former Baywatch star and a life-long animal rights activist-Pamela Anderson has turned down the Ice Bucket Challenge over ALS animal testing ethical issues.

“Sorry – I can’t bring myself to do your Ice bucket challenge,” she wrote via her Facebook page.

“I enjoy a good dare – It’s always good to bring awareness – in fun, creative ways. I don’t want to take away from that, but it had me thinking. Digging a bit deeper, I found that we may not be aligned – in our messages.

“So I thought Instead I’d challenge ALS to stop Animal testing. Recent experiments funded by the ALS Association, mice had holes drilled into their skulls, were inflicted with crippling illnesses, and were forced to run on an inclined treadmill until they collapsed from exhaustion. Monkeys had chemicals injected into their brains and backs and were later killed and dissected.

“What is the result of these experiments (other than a lot of suffering)?”
