JIM IYKE STARS IN VIRGIN ATLANTIC TV COMMERCIAL

To celebrate its lucrative African routes, Virgin Atlantic airlines recently struck a $150,000 television commercial deal with Nollywood star Jim Iyke. This guy just won't stop... Brokered as always by Iyke's prolific management team Greyology Inc, the deal was sealed in Accra Ghana just over a week ago and the footage shot on location at London's Gatwick airport on Saturday 2nd February 2013. Also on the cast were Tinsel star Osas and Jocelyn Dumas of Adams Apple. Here are some behind-the-scenes peek of  what went down at the shoot. More after the cut.

WIZKID GIVES BANKY-W THE FINGER

Nigeria's teenage singing sensation Wizkid has dumped EME -  the label that gave him his big break. In recent cryptic tweets, the young star apparently tells off the label, Empire Mates Entertainment owned by rapper cum entrepreneur Banky W saying: "Don't take loyalty for stupidity, don't!!." Coincidentally, the artist has edited his Twitter bio with EME now conspicuously missing.
In an earlier tweet Wizkid announced:"Moving on to start over again. Fuck it.."
Tongues are already wagging that the Kid has outgrown his boots but you and I know that there's no smoke without fire, so watch this space...

WHOSE PINS ARE THESE?

YOU ONLY HAVE ONE GUESS AND NO PRIZES ...
Glory, glory hallelujah! Its like what connoisseurs of good wine have said for ages... it only gets better with age. From not liking her one bit to being totally infatuated with this middle-aged single-parent A-class Nigerian thespian. Who can blame a hot-blooded man for having a crush...? We spied the glorious and  ever so gorgeous Genevieve Nnaji at Monday's nominees night for  AfricaMagic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) where she simply stood out of the crowd and virtually left other famous actresses playing walk-on roles in the class and style stakes.... Mwwwahhh!

RIHANNA AND CHRIS IN A BETTER PLACE?

This is the cover of the up-coming issue of Rollingstone Magazine featuring Diamonds crooner and love-torn bird Rihanna, who else... Hmm, I hear that in the exclusive interview with the mag, she confesses her undying love for Chris Brown who famously battered her to a pulp. She even feels that both of them are now in a "better place" whatever that means. I thought people only used that "better place" expression for dead people.... when we're sure they've gone to heaven...? Well, what do I know? We live and we learn and they say love is strange. But with these two troubled souls, I guess we can even say that (their) love is kinda weird. Only time will tell.

The cat's finally out of the bag as Tinsel screen boos Chuks and Ene take marriage vows for real. The Spy gathered that the love birds who come across as a mismatch on the popular MNET TV soap, had been secretly dating for a while before Chuks (Iyke Okechukwu) popped the good old question to Ene (Florence Uwaleke) in December. Their traditional marriage took place last Friday 25 January at the bride's family home in Owerri, Imo state.The couple have yet to fix a date for the white wedding. *The Spy ALWAYS finds out and ALWAYS tells it like it is.

SEXY DOREEN SCORES FOR UGANDAN TENNIS

I'm hearing that a Ugandan tennis complex has hired the bootylicious model and former Big Brother contestant Doreen Kabareebe to arouse more male interest in the sport. The Lugogo complex is not just fielding the novice but ultra-sexy celebrity famous for her curves and generous flashing of skin as its image maker but also signed her up as a player. Well, with a body to die for you can rest assured that no umpire can fault Kabareebe's game.
