The public seems to be growing tired of such ‘attention seeking’ celebrities. When asked which celebrity people are most tired of hearing about : These were the results provided…

Ghana Movie Awards’ Organizers Release Ghanaian Movie Stars At Cannes Film Festival Video Footage + What Is Wrong With Our Stars & Fake Accents…

blank

After months of waiting, the organizers of the prestigious Ghana Movie Awards have released a video footage of  the Ghanaian stars who made it to this year’s Cannes Film Festival held in France.

The video features John Dumelo, Majid Michel, Nadia Buari, Juliet Ibrahim,  Yvonne Okoro and others…In the video, the stars shared their experience, expectations and talked about the way forward for the Ghanaian Movie Industry.

The concept behind the video is great, the content is valuable but the delivery  of the content has diminished the quality and destroyed the value of the whole recording…What the HECK is wrong with some of these stars? Their STUPID and UNINTELLIGENT display of FAKE untraceable accents is disgusting and it ruins anything good they are asked to deliver.

What was Yvonne Okoro and Nadia Buari doing in the video? Those accents are stupidly FAKE and have messed the whole video up… I can’t point out the origin of those accents. They don’t sound American, British, Australian or anything…

Can’t someone tell these chicks what they are doing is totally disgusting and shameful? They sound like a Chinese, married to British, born in Germany, living in Cuba and speaking French. That is how messed up these people sound…

Did I hear Nadia Buari say they need international recognition? SCREW that girl…You cannot even recognise your own self, you are lost in your own accent and you need someone to recognise you internationally? This display of fake accents make it difficult to understand anything these people  say… Pronunciations are so so bad…All Yvonne Okoro was doing was rolling her damn tongue around saliva in her mouth…DISGUSTING!

After years of blogging about Celebrities, I have come to realize that by default, celebrities are like computer programmes, they function in certain ways as told to do and would not under any certain terms deviate from their refined acts.

However, good company, good conversation and a little alcohol does wonders such as defiling the default programmed mindset and behaviour of celebrities, it seems to be the only mechanism to get actress Yvonne Okoro to stand up in the middle of a restaurant and laugh out hard as if she was on some LSD.

The dinner with the stars and crew of ‘Adams Apples’ together with a ticket winner from GhanaCelebrities.Com and her guest took place yesterday at a posh Bayswater restaurant.

The stunningly dressed persons who made it to the dinner were all seated at about 8pm with giggles and little chit chats amongst ourselves. The default programme was working at this stage; everybody was being ‘classy’ and low toned.

About 18 people (celebrities and non celebrities) gathered around two tables with different variety of tasteful Chinese food spinning around for everyone to dish whatever he or she wants.

Photos + My Sincere Thoughts On Adams Apples London Premiere: Great Movie But Bad & Cheap Organization, More Like My Village Community Centre Concert Organization…

Adams Apples
Ms. Shirley Frimpong Manso At London's Premiere Adams Apples

It would be absolutely absurd to re-echo how great ‘Adams Apples’ is since this has been done several times on here, precisely when the chapters were premiered in Ghana. You can click here for that.

However, I sincerely cannot depart an inch from what was said in the linked post. I perfectly understand why it is a ten chapter movie, it could perfectly pass for fifty chapter movie; the twist and suspense are enough to make you want the movie not to end.

Shirley Frimpong Manso perfectly understands what her audience want and she is exceptionally great at delivering that without any dilution. The movie is on point and the reaction from the cinema hall yesterday firmly affirms that.

The best part of all is that, the large crowd that were seated at the Odeon Cinema could relate and were headedly fixed into the movie despite the fact that the weather was terrible.

Who was in charge of the organisation for the London premiere of Adams Apples? I would be exceedingly disappointed if the person or whatsoever company that handled the premiere still has a job today.

Adams Apples Chapter 2

The ‘Wahala’ continues on Friday, 3rd June, 2011 at the National Theatre, Accra where Chapter 2 of Shirley Frimpong Manso’s ten chapter cinema movie series ‘Adams Apples’ will be premiered.

It does not matter if you have not gotten the chance to watch the 1st Chapter, though the chapters link to each other, each one can be appreciated and perfectly understood when watched; they are independent of each other as far as understanding is concerned.

You do not therefore have to watch Chapter 1 to be able to understand and enjoy the twisted connections Chapter 2 presents.

If you have already watched Chapter 1, then you have no reason to miss the premiere of the 2nd Chapter which comes with extra ‘Wahala’.

In chapter 2 of Adams Apples, the day starts off rocky for Kukua Adams as she knocks heads with her new boss over her creative prowess; meanwhile Denu takes a firm decision to let go off the past which seem to rock Kukua’s world even harder.

GC Exclusive: Nadia Buari & Abdul Salam Mumuni Speak On Cannes Red Carpet Saga + John Dumelo Talks About The Whole Cannes Arrangement…

Majid Michel, Nadia Buari and Others On Red Carpet, Cannes
Majid Michel, Nadia Buari and Others On Red Carpet, Cannes

After yesterday’s post titled ‘Ghanaian Celebrities Were Not Recognised At Cannes Film Festival & Therefore No Red Carpet For Them, It Was All Lies…’  which highlighted on certain issues raised by Actress ‘Juliet Ibrahim’ with the visit our celebrities made to the recently ended Cannes Films Festival ( especially the Red Carpet Saga), I decided to contact the various Ghanaians who were in the red carpet photos to hear their side of the story.

In the photos (as seen above) were Nadia Buari, Majid Michel, Fred Nuamah, Alhaji Abdul Salam and Susan Peters. Automatically, I crossed out Mr. Fred Nuamah. As the Organizer of the trip and the person placed at the centre of these allegations; I was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that, he would definitely cook for me some sweet story to ‘exonerate’ himself.

I reached out to Nadia Buari with two principal questions in mind. Was there a real (not fake) red carpet and how did the whole red carpet walk come about since Juliet Ibrahim who was part of the delegation to France has stated inter alia that, the red carpet walk is extremely questionable.

Nadia Buari who was on set shooting a movie gave a good reception for the second time to GhanaCelebrities.Com. Trust me, I had prepared my screaming voice and was ready to scream if she had given me a shout. LOL.

On the issue of the red carpet walk at Cannes, Nadia emphatically stated that, it was a real red carpet and they actually did walk on it. Do you think this will be enough for me? I then asked, why then is Juliet Ibrahim, who was part of the delegation to France seems to suggest that the whole red carpet walk is a dust you guys are trying to throw at us.

Ghanaian Celebrities Were Not Recognised At Cannes Film Festival & Therefore No Red Carpet For Them, It Was All Lies…

Majid Michel, Nadia Buari and Others At Cannes
Majid Michel, Nadia Buari and Others At Cannes

Somewhere last week, I had a long separate chit chats via phone with Actress Juliet Ibrahim and Mr Fred Numah (Founder/CEO of Ghana Movie Awards) when they were in France for the Cannes Film Festival.

During our conversation, Juliet Ibrahim who could not believe a false story that was published on our celebrities having been on a red carpet at Cannes expressed her dissatisfaction and shock about the entire Ghanaian- Cannes visit arrangement.

From what I gathered from my convo with Juliet Ibrahim as to what was really going on at Cannes as far as our celebrities were concerned , it seemed our stars namely Nadia Buari, Juliet Ibrahim, Yvonne Nelson, Yvonne Okoro,  Majid Michel, John Dumelo and others who were sponsored by the Ghana Movie Awards to the film festival had nothing scheduled for them out there.

They cheaply jumped on planes and went there to walk about as tourists or persons who had come to see the Hollywood stars… Even tourists have aims for visiting places, our celebrities were purely aimless.

It was therefore a big shock to Juliet Ibrahim to have read that, some Ghanaian celebrities out there in Cannes had graced the red carpet. Apart from the issue of red carpet, Juliet Ibrahim also pointed out that, she was not pleased with the way things were arranged for them.  There was no hotel rooms reserved for them and they did not have any planned means of transport.  Our stars jumped in and out of trains and taxis as if they were ‘I and I’…

John Dumelo, Jocelyn Dumas, Shamima Muslim & Inna Patty Mounts The Catwalk To Help German Swiss International School To Raise Funds For UNHCR To Support Ivory Coast!

John Dumelo
John Dumelo

On Saturday, Ghana Movie Awards 2010 ‘Best Supporting Male Actor’, John Dumelo together with Actress Jocelyn Dumas, the host of ‘The One Show’ on Viasat1, Shamima Muslim and Inna Patty-a former Miss Ghana mounted the catwalk to help the German Swiss International School in Accra to raise funds for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to support victims of the Ivorian war.

The West African country has been plagued by civil war after a disputed election which led Laurent Gbagbo to hold on to power, rejecting election results as well as diplomats’ efforts to end power struggle.

Until he was arrested, he held on to power because he believed there were lots of irregularities in the elections Allasana Quattara won.

This power struggle resulted in loyalist of both men fighting each other. Several homes were raided whiles thousands of inhabitants became homeless. Speaking to press men, Gretchen Krantz Evans, a parent of the school, also part of the organization of the Fashion Show told journalist that, this is the second edition of the show.

She continued that, the proceeds would be donated to UNHCR to support Ivory Coast. Before the main event, several arts and designs in various forms were displayed at the school premises for interested participants to purchase.
