Ekow Blankson told NEWS-ONE yesterday that though people advised him not to act in a Socrates Sarfo movie; he had not regretted playing the role.

“I don’t know but a lot of people discouraged me from going to work with Socrates. I mean people in the industry. Some said he is very controversial but I wanted to find out myself so I went ahead and believe me he is not what people think he is,” Ekow disclosed.

I love Samini and it is not because he gives me something to blog about on here. It is just because he has intentions to dig into any fine skirt walking around that may sweet mistakenly come close to his “geographical proximity”.

I have agreed to a censorship not to talk about any of Samini’s baby Mamas. The word is agreed, not that anyone can push me not to say my mind.

Anyway, Samini seems to be at it again with another malicious intention. When it comes to Samini, intentions should be taken seriously because he is just too smart for any lady out there.

One minute it is a mere intention or desire, the next minute, the intended victim is pregnant and denying she knew Samini had  two “wifely baby mamas” living far apart on the Globe.

According to Samini, Becca has been in his “ready to nail book” for some times and he would actually love to nail her down.( Maybe he would end up crippling her with a baby).  Gossip Mama, who is nailing Becca anyway?

The person needs to strengthen his defences and step up his game or the fast moving Jet Samini will prey on his chicken. The first thing I told my sister’s daughter when she started to speak was that “there is a man in this world you have come called Samini, when you meet him, run away”.

Samini is just unstoppable, I wish I had some of his courage and fast moves. Becca and her management, how far with the donations you people collected?

Ozwald Boateng is a fashion god; there is no disputing it as a fact. A yet to be released documentary which premiered at the 2010 Abu Dahbi Film Festival highlights his beginnings and 25years of achievement. Born to Kwesi and Pasquela Boateng in Muswell Hill, U.K on 28th November, the Bespoke Couture genius celebrates 49 years next month.

He is a trained Information Technologist but in a chance dare by his then girlfriend at age of 16 he found that he could easily design and sew suits for men. He grew up in a household where his mum was a model and seamstress whose creations were often pitched/sold by -a teenaged-Ozwald Boateng in bazaars of north London.

Providing the nurturing support and boost was his father who is a professional teacher. At age 16 in Southwark College, Ozwald Boateng made the bold decision to switch majors from I.T to Fashion and Design.

I was about to cross Asem’s name in my book and push him to join the “Missing in Action” Hip life rappers like T-Blaze. I cannot even remember the last time Asem dropped a hit tune.

All the same his lack of creativity has pushed him to sample 2010 in a rush in his new tune called “2010 Fylla”. Geez, 2010 has not ended yet so how can you summarize it?

Anyway, the song with its comic lyrics highlights on some of the controversial stories that have passed through Ghana Showbiz this year. How on earth can Asem miss  Samini’s  scandal? Check out the tune below….

I posted the names of those who won the tickets to watch Shirley Frimpong Manso’s new movie “6 Hours To Christmas” and asked them to contact me for their tickets.

I also stated that if any of the winners is outside Ghana, they can asked a friend, a family member or anyone to pick the ticket up to go and enjoy the movie on coming Friday at the National Theatre, Accra.

Out of the 5 winners, only 2 have contacted me for their tickets leaving me with 3 tickets. The winners who have failed to contact me are Ghallday, Miss Dior and Sally Frempong.

There is something almost skillful and weird about Ivorian music superstar Freddy Meiway that has earned him the accolade of one of Africa’s best stage performances over the years.

Fact is: no one does it better than the Zoblazo man. It is even fun and more exciting when he is backed on stage by those raunchy and sexy-looking dancers.

Come this Saturday, in a well regimented dance and music routine preserved for patrons of this year’s Miss Ghana beauty pageant competition, the Accra International Conference Centre, Pink Lady, will host the man whose credentials from his very first LP continues to be the talk on most lips. To say Meiway is good at what he does, would be stating the fact but to suggest that he is a pure genius would be the most obvious statement. Simply put Meiway rocks! And when he is put on the same stage as Sarkodie, arguably the most talked-about act in the past one year in Ghana, then a master piece of a delivery is what should be expected.
