Stella Damascus has attacked her fellow Nollywood actors/actresses,
calling them pretenders, as more facts surrounding Enebeli Elebuwa's
illness and eventual death, begins to emerge.
Elebuwa had suffered stroke and spent some time in the country, before
he was flown to India for further treatment. Damascus accused her
colleagues of being pretenders, claiming they did not do enough.
According to her, they were more interested in what they could get.
"I'm very angry because the people in my industry are hypocrites," she
said. "That man was ill for a long time in lagos and they turned it
into a fanfare. People would go and visit him and take pictures with
him, post it on twitter, on Facebook, on their blogs; they used it to
make people feel that they are philanthropists but nobody lifted a
finger to take care of him or help his family.
"They are more interested in politics; who would be president, how
they can visit dignitaries, who would dash them money. Nobody cares
about the elderly people in the industry. We know how to celebrate
people when they die, but when they are alive, what do we do for them,
especially the sick ones? "The Delta state government eventually
sponsored him to India. I'm just very pained." she said ....

STYL -PLUS Has Finally Split (Breakup)
Information reaching y!online suggests that soul crooners, Styl Plus,
have finally split.
The R&B group, which comprised of Shiffi, Zeal and Tunde, have
struggled to recapture the success they achieved with their debut
album, which had tracks like 'Run away', 'Olufunmi', etc. Their second
album 'Unbreakable' was a big flop and their new singles did not get
any attention.
Perhaps tired of the slide, Tunde has decided to go solo, re-branding
himself as 'NativeBoy'. We also gathered that he has recorded several
songs alone and set up his own record label, called B.A.T Records.
Details soon !!!!!!

Morgan Freeman Blames Media for Recent Shootings? Not So Fast...
Many people--including celebrities--have spoken out on the horrific
tragedy that struck Newtown, Conn., on Friday, when a 20-year-old
gunman opened fire and killed at least 26 people, including 20
children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School. However, Morgan Freeman is
not one of those people. The actor has not released a comment on the
incident that took place a few days ago, despite numerous stories
reporting otherwise. The lengthy quote attributed to Morgan is indeed
an hoax. "Morgan neither made statements or posted those statements.
We are trying to find out who did, but they did not originate from
him," the actor's rep tells E! News. So what did the Oscar winner
allegedly say? The remark floating around online that was said to be
from Freeman stated the following, "You want to know why. This may
sound cynical, but here's why. It's because of the way the media
reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater
shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold
and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a
single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just
off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by
doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way.
Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a
horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody." The falsely-attributed
quote continued, "CNN's article says that if the body count 'holds
up,' this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia
Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another.
Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details
of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox
News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours.
Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore
the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't
sell.
So congratulations , sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire
for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity
ward next. You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name,
and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by
donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control
as the problem."

One Direction, Rihanna, Adele lead Billboard 2012 charts
Newcomer British boy band One Direction joined R&B diva Rihanna and
British singer Adele to top Billboard's year-end music charts,
released on Friday culled from Reuters.
www.yonlineng.com gathered that One Direction, who topped the
Billboard 200 album chart twice this year with their debut, "Up All
Night" in March and their sophomore album "Take Me Home" in November,
were named Billboard's top new artist/group, rounding off a stellar
year of U.S. success for the band.
Adele, 24, who became the first woman top score No. 1 single, album
and artist on Billboard's 2011 year-end charts, continued her reign in
2012, when her Grammy-winning record "21" was the top-selling album in
the U.S. and she was once again named artist of the year.
"21" has sold more than 10 million copies in the U.S. since its
release in February 2011, becoming a fixture on the Billboard 200,
especially after Adele's six wins at the Grammy Awards earlier this
year.
She is the only act to be named both top artist and have the top album
in Billboard's charts for two years in a row.
Adele was also named the No. 1 female artist while R&B rapper-singer
Drake was named No. 1 male artist and pop-rock band Maroon 5 were
named No. 1 group.
Rihanna, also 24, was named the top Hot 100 artist after a year of
chart-topping hit singles such as "We Found Love" and "Diamonds" on
the Hot 100 chart, which measures top-selling singles each week.
But Australia's Gotye picked up the Hot 100 single of the year, with
his heartbreak hit "Somebody That I Used To Know."

between December 3 2011 and November 24 2012, tallying data including

Messi Now World Highest Paid Player
Lionel Messi is ready to sign for life at Barcelona with a deal that
would give him the highest club wages of any footballer in Europe's
top leagues.
The player's father, Jorge, has already opened negotiations with the
Catalan club over extending his current contract, meaning he will stay
at Barcelona until he is at least 31.
The deal is expected to be structured so that it increases yearly,
risingto £12.5million a year net before bonuses. Messi, 25, signed his
last big contract in the 2009-10 season with then sporting director
Txiki Begiristain and his vice-president Marc Ingla.
That contract is heavily incentivised with his pay, after bonuses, in
any given season automatically becoming his basic pay for the
following season.
President Sandro Rosell is keen to extend that deal by two years to
ensure he stays at Barcelona before fulfilling his ambition of a
swansong in Argentina before he retires.
The player's net take-home pay before bonuses is estimated at £9m
year, behind Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's £12m and
Samuel Eto'o, who earns £16m at Anzhi Makhachkala.
Although his bonuses, as well as sponsorship, invariably take Messi
past those players, the new deal could see his basic pay leave him
clear of the field.
It would also see him pull away from Cristiano Ronaldo's estimated £9m
annual earnings before bonuses. That will annoy Ronaldo's camp, who
have been frustrated by Real Madrid's failure to start talksover a new
deal for the Portugal forward.
The Chelsea owner will offer the Colombia striker a five-year,
£200,000-a-week contract but his dream of landing the world's most
wanted No 9 could be thwarted by Real Madrid.
A bid of €60m (£48.8m) will land the striker, who destroyed Chelseain
the European Super Cup in August, but Real president Florentino Perez
is committed to meeting that asking price at the end of the season.
Just as Messi is beyond the reach of the Chelsea owner, Real's
determination not to miss out on Falcao – as they did Sergio Aguero–
threatens the Russian's chances of landing his latest top target.
A gentleman's agreement between Real and Atletico has in the past
stopped the former from signing the latter's players but Perez was
criticised by fans for allowing Aguero to join Manchester City last
season. He is up for re-election this summer and needs a big signing
to help him win.
Despite the Madrid clubs' understanding, Aguero was bound for
Realbefore the start of last season until differences over which agent
would be used scuppered the deal.
That will not be an issue as Falcao is represented by Jorge Mendes,
who already manages a host of Real's top players, including Ronaldo.
Perez was at an awards ceremony in midweek with Falcao and was filmed
without his knowledge joking with the player and goalkeeper Iker
Casillas that he would pass the striker a serviette with the words 'do
you want to sign for Madrid?' on it.
This is a reference to the note he scrawled on a napkin for Zinedine
Zidane when the two met prior to the Frenchman signing for Madrid from
Juventus.
Perez was alerted to the rolling cameras by Casillas, who told him:
'Be careful, president. They are filming.'
The man who landed Zidane as well as Luis Figo, Ronaldo and David
Beckham in the team that became known as the Galaticos wants another
earth-shattering signing to send out a message to football's new
money.
Messi's Barcelona team-mate David Villa, another former Chelsea
target, could also be on his way out of Spain after being edged out
atthe Nou Camp.
The 31-year-old was the last of former president Joan Laporta's
signings and is on a €6m-a-year deal that runs until 2014. He has
started six league games this season.
The top 10 richest players
