"My Husband proposed twice and he's not Latino" - Uche Jombo

Jombo love: Mr & Mrs Rodriguez

Nollywood big girl Uche Jombo says her husband of a couple of months proposed to her twice before she said yes.

She further reveals that Rodriguez is "the most romantic person I've ever met and that's why I married him" even though she's only known the man for less than a year. Giving thirsty fans a little peek into her unbelievably abrupt and hushed marriage the actress, producer and director says the

LMAO - Broke Shina Peters plans to establish music school!!!

Peters: When the going gets rough

Wonders they say shall never end.... The last time we heard anything half interesting about  juju legend Shina Peters was a few weeks back when a report claimed that he was so broke he was begging a certain politician for a birthday present. I'm sure everyone remembers the gist and the fact that the wealthy - and I dare say selfish man - did everything possible to avoid parting with a kobo to the fading star. So you can no doubt understand my predicament on hearing this morning from my friend Linda Ikeji  that the same

Deleted post - The Spy apologises

Yours Truly

Just a quick note of my sincere apology to my readers who may have noticed that the first update I posted on the Tolani Osungade stabbing story stating that his family had vowed to charge suspect DJ Tee for attempted murder has vanished from the blog. It was erroneously deleted whilst working from a handheld device away from my usual old banger of a lap top and unfortunately its irretrievable and also will be rather unethical of me to re-post it. I wish I could blame the mythical "Printer's Devil" like in years gone by... Lols. Thanks for your understanding and continued support.

Bloody video update: Stabbed artist speaks

The Spy has obtained the statement issued by Tolani Osungade, the budding artist who is now receiving treatment for facial injuries sustained when a friend's video shoot turned bloody on Wednesday. The police are now investigating the incident but it remained unclear at the time of this report if any arrests had been made.

INTEGRAL UNEDITED ACCOUNT BY TOLANI OSUNGADE

My name is Tolani Alvin Osungade, and this is what really happened between Dj Tee and I...... Firstly, the video shoot was suppose to start @ 10am and I was there to support my friend "malcoholic" the owner of the video shoot. He (malcoholic) told to me invite friends (video girls and guys) which I did. The video shoot did not start early because it rained and the location was being cleaned. And due to the fact that the shoot didn't start on time, people were having refreshments, guys were drinking (including dj tee and his crew). As this was going on, comments were going round that dj tee just insulted some girls I don't know due to them asking for payment to be in the video and i also heard dj tee was going to call his own people to come and replace them.

It’s all good’.

Jada and Will Smith flout law on minors

Wowwww what a cock up!... Willow Smith - the 11-year-old daughter of Jada and Will Smith (seen here on the left of this picture) has a tongue piercing!!! Well, child welfare authorities in California may be knocking on the Smith's door any day now for letting the minor do the tongue job. According to a Media Takeout report, its against the State's penal code for minors to have tongue piercings without parental consent. So its either the Smiths actually signed the required paperwork or they deliberately turned a blind eye after their daughter cut legal corners. Either way, someone has some serious explaining to do if they are to avoid time behind bars. This ain't funny one bit.

Timaya shaves dreadlocks and fans re-act...

Timiya: Rebranded look

The next time you see Nigeria's dance hall superstar Timaya you may not recognise him because he has shaved off his trade mark dreadlocks. The move immediately sparked mixed reactions from his fans. In a space of three hours after the militant musician  tweeted   "Ma dread is off ... Kai I feel kooool", a flurry of tweets from his fans followed - some expressing shock and disbelief. One said "Congratulations" but most verged on outright disapproval. Timaya - aka Egberi Papa1 - became a dad for the first time about a month ago when an as yet unidentified partner bore him a  daughter. I have sent a tweet to the star asking if his "Upgraded" look was part of cleaning up his act to be a cleaner role model for his daughter. Will he come clean and tell us why he shaved his locks? We're waiting... But what do you think folks? Do you like his new look?
