Nollywood star Ebube Nwagbo says she sometimes feels like going crazy when she hears and reads uncomplimentary stories about herself. In an interview with Modern Ghana the actress whose entrance into Nollywood has always been questioned on the basis of morality said she had learned to walk around with a smile.

P. Diddy drunk on American Idol?
This is gonna be real quick folks because its kinda dated and not major stuff as far as we're concerned however as we cant keep our gob shut, we just had to get it off our chest. So here it goes...
Perfect Plan premiers in London
African cinema history was made last night when the first ever Sierra Leonean movie premier took place at the Greenwich Odeon Cinema in London. Shot in the US with little known actors, the film is titled Perfect Plan, but it turned out to be much more than that - its actually also the Perfect Storyline and all thanks to the directing skills of Adeyemi Lardner and the London-based producer Collins Archie-Pearce.
Ini Edo - "My career comes first"
Three years into her glamorous wedding to Phillip Ehiagwina, top Nollywood actress, Ini Edo just cannot make up her mind whether or not she's ready to start a family. In an interview with Naija Gist the voluptuous incarnation of many a man's dream woman appeared to get her knickers in a twist when she said: "My husband and I have discussed it.....

What's Nollywood's K O K up to?
Sick actor abandoned by wife
This is the critically ill Nollywood actor Tochi James Uche aka Prince James who is now at the mercy of a local church after being kicked out of his matrimonial home in the Gbagada suburb of Lagos. The actor has been suffering from diabetes and hypertension and therefore has been out of work but his seamstress wife - a certain Jezebel named Ekene say's she's having none of it. Her brand of marriage must be "For better or best, no less." The Spy hopes that the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) are aware of Tochi's case because what we do not want is any form of medicine after death. The fact that the home video star's credentials are not exactly clean (flashback 2007 cocaine scandal!!!) doesn't mean that they should turn their back on him now.

Uche Jumbo's UK talent search - the real reason
As at July of last year, Nigeria had a population of well over 155 million people and fast rising. Therefore, the Spy finds it extremely baffling that the enterprising Nollywood actress Uche Jumbo thinks its a smart idea to launch her search for fresh Nigerian talent in the UK rather than on the ground.
Shocking! Top Nollywood star owes 1 year's house rent
Brackcet and co celebrate
The Spy has just completed its Tweet patrol of the evening and we have the most astonishing report to make. First, veteran society chic and blogger Linda Ikeji reports that Vast and Smash better known as Bracket - the Nigerian duo famous for their hit single Yori Yori have just added three top-of-the-range 4x4 wheels to their fleet of rides. Two Range Rover Sport and one Mercedes G series to the tune of N25m.
How old is Oprah?
Are we seeing things or has talk queen Oprah Winfrey dramatically aged since she started playing mummy to late Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi-Kristina?

Mo'Hits: Where's Wande Coal?
Mo'Hits mo gist... There's some speculation that Wande Coal may be carving out a way for himself away from the troubled Mo'Hits empire. We have yet to figure things out but tongues are wagging and eye brows rising in Twitterland follow the recent release of an official Mo'hits photo without the Bumper to Bumper star and self-styled 'Diamond of Africa". Coal cuts the figure of a lone-ranger in his Private Trips video (made in SA) recently.Watch this space...
Actress Stephanie Okere gets hitched
This is the lucky guy who's getting married to the dishy and enterprising Nollywood thespian Stephanie Okere. His name is Linus Idahosa of whom we know next to nothing at the moment. We can however reveal that they're tying the knot on 21st April 2012. Having said that, do you notice as we do - the rather odd combination of the groom-to-be's names? When one hears names like "Linus", Livinus" or "Clarius" you automatically think Eastern or on a wider scale South-South. Kinda rare to have the Edo name Idahosa following.
DMX in trouble
Some of the legal problems that hindered the rapper from honouring his contract included a traffic violation and child support disputes. According to the report, costly financial efforts by the Agency to disentangle Mr X from the legal constraints to enable him honour international engagements were unsuccessful.
Guess who rejected the Ice Prince's love advances?

Which celebrity's triangle is this?
This well-waxed bikini triangle belongs to one A-list Nollywood actress whom we've been writing about lately. Her first name begins with M - Its so obvious that we thought it unnecessary to print her upper half.... Enjoy the view but remember to put your guesses in the comment box.
Wardrobe malfunction or sick fashion sense?
The African Caucasian
Our stock-in-trade here at the African Celerity Spy may be celebrity scandals and hardcore gossip but we also do have a human side and in the absence of any major gist in the grapevine we present the remarkable Kayode (Kevin) Oyimbo. Curtesy of Sahara TV...
"Give us a child", Mercy Johnson told
Prince Odi Okojie - hubby of Nollywood sensation Mercy Johnson is said to be nearing breaking point as his family mounts pressure on him and his actress wife to produce an off-spring. Since the couple's wedding in August 2011 that was marred by well publicised drama, the groom's family has been eagerly waiting to hear the cry of a baby in the "royal" household but to their great despair, the screen goddess has so far failed to deliver! (No pun intended).

Gonorrhea hits Nollywood
This is hot off the presses folks! The name of a prominent Nollywood actress is now in the gutter as we speak thanks to her promiscuous sister who has reportedly infected a even more prominent actor with gonorrhea!!!
Tonto Dikeh and Susan Peters in BlackBerry palaver
Scandal-prone Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh has been in a public show-down with another actress, the Spy has gathered from Nollywood sources. The sexy A-list star who's linked to the complex marriage breakdown of movie producer Tchidi Chikere was reported to have had a heated altercation with fellow actress Susan Peters.
Who is Naija's most scandalous celeb?
Your sizzling African Celebrity Spy has launched a survey to find the Nigerian celebrity most prone to scandals and within the first few hours the name we have is Tchidi Chikere. Chikere is the hunky producer/director who split from his actress wife Sophia recently amidst gossip that he had impregnated and moved-in with another actress.
Well the poll will run for ten days so its still early days to announce our winner. Perhaps we should give some thought to what prize the winner should get. Please feel free to express yourselves in the comment boxes.
Sex Revolution in Ghana
Is there a SEX REVOLUTION going on in Ghana or are Ghanaian artists and students simply sexually frustrated and depraved? Lately, there's been a catalogue of stories relating to very unbecoming sexual antics on the part of university students and well-known stars alike. One day its Legon University students videoing themselves as they stripped publicly on campus and the next its another video of a pair of loved-up students bunking on on campus.
Tattoo freak Anita Joseph's a naughty gal!
Banky-W's 21 today!!!
We've always admired smooth producer/performer Bankole Wellington aka Banky W and even though he's clearly youthful, we never guessed he's just turning twenty-one today 27 March. The boss of Empire Mates Entertainment label is so clean in the scandal-ridden suburb of Ebute Metta that he doesn't deserve to be in the Spy. Loooolz... Happy birthday dude!
Disgusting: A dog called Beyonce!
Sometimes Yankees really do go off their rockers.... like when some animal-loving-freak decides to name their four-legged best friend after one of the world's greatest, most gracious and richest performers. Yep! Meet a DOG called BEYONCE- a miniscule Daschund mix breed weighing just 4 oz and as tall as my iPhone. The nutcase who owns the puppy decided to call it "B" because it survived a traumatic birth which brought to mind the Destiny's Child group. So why the f$ck did the owner not settle for the most apt nomenclature "Survivor" instead? Its this kind of excesses that puts you off things like giving a damn about otherwise loveable cats and dogs. Anyone who finds this funny must be really funny in the head. What's your take folks? Click the photo for a better view of a tiny innocent pup saddled with such a huge calling.
Bobby Brown arrested
Hip Hop bad boy Bobby Brown is in trouble again. Quoting law enforcement sources, TMZ reports that the ex-hubby of late Whitney Houston who toured Nigeria nearly a fortnight ago was taken into police custody last night after being arrested for driving under the influence. (DUI).
Forty-three-year-old Bobby attracted the attention of police in Reseda California because he was speaking on his mobile whilst driving and when he was pulled over they had reasons to believe he was intoxicated. A test later proved that he had a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher at the time of his arrest.
Brown served eight days behind bars in 1996 after pleading guilty to a DUI conviction.

"I like to get naked"- Rihanna
R n B superstar, Rihanna says she loves being seen in the nude! Ha ha! Why not tell us something we don't already know? We've seen more than an eye-full of Rih-Rih in her best birthday suit and all because (according to her) she's suffering from low self-esteem. The pop icon says that's why she's fond of stripping-off and posting nude pics of herself on social networking sites like Twitter.
She told an American fitness magazine: "My way probably won't work for other people but the more I got naked the more comfortable I felt"
Girls out there who want to be and look like Rihanna had better think again because she herself doesn't quite like what she sees in the mirror. She confessed that "You always see something wrong. You always find something you're uncomfortable with." Strip on gurl, we're not complaining!!!
Nollywood marriage scandal: Tonto Dikeh denies affair
Tonto Dikeh, the Nollywood actress who's been roped into the recent marriage breakdown of fellow Nollywood star Tchidi Chikere is denying any involvement. A Nigerian tabloid has linked her to the long running domestics of Mr and Mrs Chikere. The hunky Chikere has a reputation of being a ladies' man and is alleged to have impregnated actress Nuella Njubuigbo, moved-in with her and that both were planning to wed in December. However, Chikere's agents have since debunked the allegations and went as far as inviting any doubting Thomases in Gossipland to go and examine the actress's pregnancy status on the set of her current movie somewhere in East of Nigeria. This is really getting nasty so watch this space...

Whitney's death... join the blame game
Mo'Hits wahala: Don Jazzy still promoting D'banj
Barely a week after the D'banj v Don Jazzy rift came to a head with the dramatic release of the Oliver Twist video devoid of the image of the Mo'Hits "Master Planner" himself, the Spy is now piecing together evidence that reconciliation may be on the cards which is all well and good. Or is it? Well, its either that or there never was any beef in the first place! No long thing - lets cut to the chase, the entire charade has been nothing but a cunning marketing ploy by those two smart brains to milk the signing of D'Banj to Kanye's G.O.O.D. MUSIC label to the max.
