Latest News from Ghana
If you have not been to Ghana recently, then you may not know that the old “sunglasses” are being heavily rocked at night even where there are no lights.
I find it difficult to see at nights when the lighting system is not adequate, this makes me wonder how come people who rock dark shades at night are able to find their way around. I guess it is the power of “African women fashion”. I know the men do it too but trust me, some women sleep with it.
It seems the short hair style has come to stay with Akorfa Ejeani Asiedu forever as she is still rocking it. When I saw her with the short hair cut some times back, I thought she needed it for a movie or was just trying a new thing.
She was spotted during the Premiere of Shirley Frimpong Manso’s new latest movie “6 Hours To Christmas” in Ghana and she looks fabulous and young with her hair cut.
With barely 46 days to the much talked about ‘Homecoming Show’ of the man credited to be wielding one of the most commercially viable music brands in Ghana, Daddy ‘DL’ Lumba, the midmorning goddess of Kumasi based Luv 99.5 FM, Anita Akua Kyerewaa Kuma has admitted in an intercourse with Kwabena Agyeman-Kobia (Publicist, Home Proud Events) that although she is an avid admirer of the maestro, Kojo Antwi, She thinks ‘DL’ is different and special in his own way.
Anita, the radio diva of Kumasi who’s been controlling the midmorning space unchallenged for a long time, praised ‘DL’ for his versatility, consistency, style & endurance.
The world will not be a journey if one does not lose for the other to gain. Those of you who do not know Jeremie, she is the chick we bashed some months back for her constant use of vulgar language on radio. She is currently a presenter at Y Fm in Accra.
According to Peace Fm, the vulgar language chick has dumped her known boyfriend and work mate “Jay Foley” for a proper upcoming celeb ” Senanu Gbedawo” of “”CheckMate” fame. Let’s see how long this will last if what is reported is really true.
It is difficult to comprehend why some women are so addicted to fame (I mean famous men) when the package these men come with is mostly unbearable.
Few months again, Jeremie said on TV that she was ready to marry Jay Foley (the dumped lover boy). It is amazing how ready to marry has suddenly turned into “it is over”.
All is set for the annual event; Joy FM’s Night with the Stars musical concert. The show has been tagged as one of the nation’s biggest entertainment event, but if the information available to GhanaCelebrities.com is something to go by, then this year’s edition could be graced by musicians who are classified as group ‘B’ musicians.
Talking of team B, the organizers, Joy FM, according to our sources were only ready to part away with a shocking 1,000 Ghana Cedis per a head as an appearance fee for the ‘A’ list musicians in Ghana instead of the normal 5,000 Ghana Cedis or 6,000 Ghana Cedis that they have been paying over the years. This amount will be paid to every musician that mounts the stage, be it high life, hip life, reggae or gospel artistes.
So who are the artists under the ‘A’ list? Some of the names that readily come to mind are Richie, Eazzy, VIP, Sarkodie, Samini, Okyeame Kwame, Obour, Becca and 4X4. Tinny and Asem who are part of the ‘A’ list will not be available for the show since they are ambassadors of Glo telecom.

Anima Misa Amoah, the star of Kwaw Ansah’s famous movie, Love Brewed in the African Pot has expressed her dismay at the name Ghallywood, which is tag name for the Ghanaian movie industry.
She said she does not know why we should choose a name that rhymes Hollywood instead of getting a unique identity for the industry.
She was reported to have said that the name Ghallywood was disgusting, but speaking on Day Break Hitz on Hitz FM Monday, Anima said, “I think disgust is a bit too strong. I don’t recall using the word disgust. I just thought that there could be better choices…I don’t think we should have anything ‘wood’…It does not have to be Ghally anything.”
