Morgan Freeman Jokes About Death Rumors

Morgan Freeman gets a good laugh out of rumors of his own demise. The
Oscar winner took to his Facebook page on Tuesday to make light of
those pretty disgusting death hoaxes that have popped up with
increasing frequency on social media and targeted him over the years,
noting that if he is standing in front of the Pearly Gates, it looks
an awful lot like present-day Earth.

"Like Mark Twain, I keep reading that I have died," wrote the
75-year-old Freeman. "I hope those stories are not true...but if they
are, I'm happy to report that my afterlife seems identical to my life
when I was alive."

The acting legend, who played God, by the way, in Bruce Almighty and
Evan Almighty, noted that he's too booked up with work to think about
meeting his Maker.

"I did go to Las Vegas to begin work on the film Last Vegas," he
added. "That is anything but a death sentence." That comedy sounds
pretty lively indeed.

It stars Freeman, Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro and Kevin Kline and
follows four sixty something best friends who throw a bachelor party
in Sin City for the last one of them to get hitched. It hits theaters
in December 2013, and as far as the thesp's concerned, he has every
intention of being at the premiere.

RIHANNA’S FATHER HOPES SHE MARRIES CHRIS BROWN

Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty is happy Riri and Chris Brown are back
together and now hopes their rekindled love ends in marriage.

The 24-year-old singer's dad told Life & Style magazine:

"Whatever makes her happy. I hope one day she will get married.
Everyone adores Chris, he's a super guy. The family loved Chris Brown
before they met him. I always thought he was extremely talented. He is
a good person and always gave me great respect."

Rihanna and Chris Brown don't seem to have plans to tie the knot just
yet, but who knows; we may soon hear they are getting married.

Proven family man and rap icon Jay-Z had earlier warned that he won't
hesitate to end Chris Brown's career if he ever harms Rihanna again.
Brown knows Jay-Z well enough to cross him; hopefully his relationship
with Rihanna will be 'happily ever after'.

If things work out the way Riri's father hopes, and Chris Brown keeps
a cool head, we may be witnessing another Jay-Z-Beyonce-like
relationship.

JANET JACKSON CONVERTS TO ISLAM AS WEDDING TO QATARI FIANCÉ HOTS UP

It is no longer news that five time grammy award winner, Janet Jackson
is getting married to her Qatari multi-millionaire fiancé, Wissam Al
Mana. The two are reportedly planning to get married in a Muslim
ceremony in Doha, Qatar, 2013.

What is news is the claim by a renowned Turkish author, Adnan Oktar
(aka Harun Yahya), that the 46-year-old Janet has converted to Islam —
as did her brother, Michael Jackson — and is choosing to keep her new
religion a secret from her fans.

An insider who spoke to National Enquirer Magazine said the couple are
planning to spend $3 million to fly in around 500 wedding guests while
Wissam – who doesn't mind spending big when he ties the nuptial knot
with Janet, wants to give attendees a $10,000 Rolex wrist watch as a
'thank you' gift.

Janet has been dating Wissam – who is almost a decade younger than her
– since summer of 2010.

The singer who is 46-years old,  has previously maintained that there
is nothing wrong with dating younger men as long as the couple is
happy. In her words, "My mother always raised us to believe that age
was just a number.

All of us – my sisters, my brothers – we'll just tell you our ages
because it's all about where you are mentally and how you feel about
yourself. It doesn't matter."

Boko Haram plans “massive attacks” during Eid-El-Kabir

The Nigeria Joint Military Task Force (JTF) on Tuesday said it had
uncovered a plot by Boko Haram Islamists to carry out "massive
attacks" during an upcoming Muslim festival with the help of foreign
mercenaries.

A spokesman said the insurgents were planning to strike in an
embattled northeastern state during Eid-El-Kabir, typically called
Sallah in Nigeria, which this year falls on October 25 and 26.

"Information available to the Joint Task Force indicates that the Boko
Haram terrorists are planning to launch massive attacks on military
and civilian targets in Borno state before, during and after the
forthcoming Sallah celebrations," Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa said
in a statement.

"We know where they are coming from but we don't want to disclose that
because we don't want to pre-empt our security arrangement to tackle
them".

Nigerian security forces have frequently exaggerated their success in
cracking down on Boko Haram and it was impossible to verify their
claims on Tuesday.

It is well oooooooo !!!!!!

Death Row : Oshiomhole under pressure to withdraw Dealth warrant

Amnesty International, a global human rights group, raised the alarm
on Monday that the inmates might have been executed and pleaded with
the governor to spare their lives and allow their appeal to go through
the judicial process.

Back home, a coalition of human rights groups and lawyers met in Abuja
for several hours, Tuesday, brainstorming on how best to convince
Oshiomhole to rescind his execution
order and give the two condemned men another chance to live.

The crucial meeting, which was convened by lawyers under the auspices
of Prison Reforms and Decongestion Initiative, met with officials of
the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, in Abuja and considered
options available to save the lives of the two embattled men.

Consequently, the group decided to send a letter to the Edo State
Governor, pleading with him to temper justice with mercy by
withdrawing the execution warrant in respect of the two men already
condemned to death.

Additionally, they decided to meet the Attorney General of the
Federation, Mohammed Adoke, to intervene and halt the execution of the
two men, since Nigeria had an existing moratorium on non-execution of
death row prisoners.

The team was also to meet with the Comptroller General of the Nigerian
Prisons last night to also seek his cooperation and understanding in
preserving the lives of the two men pending the hearing and
determination of an appeal filed by them against their execution.

But a senior prisons official who was at the meeting, said the team
needed to act fast since the governor had the right under Nigerian law
to sign a death warrant before an inmate is released by for execution.

The groups decided to send an emissary to Oshiomhole to plead further
with him and to apologise over certain issues relating to the inmates,
which the governor is said to have taken exception to.

The governor had defended his decision to kill the two men and spare
the lives of five others who were presented to him, pointing out that
they did not deserve to live given the gravity of their bestial acts
against their victims.

“GROW UP BOSS” – GT DA GUITARMAN ATTACKS OLISA ADIBUA (beat FM.)

Quite literally, there is a storm brewing between GT Da Guitarman and
his former boss at Storm Records, Olisa Adibua.

The crux of the matter is that, Adibua, who is currently the Programs
Director at The Beat FM, is allegedly refusing to play his songs at
the station. "As ma radio presenter former boss no wan gree play my
song for station wey no be him papa own..Grow up boss", he vented in
one tweet.

Another read: "My outlook on life is soo different now mehn..if u r
God I can kiss ur a*s..if u r not, na kick to ur a*s o.."

GT left Storm Records two years ago, after he complaining he wasn't
receiving as much attention as the other artistes on the Obi Asika
owned outfit. He eventually quit, after releasing
his album amidst controversy.

Although he did not mention names, it is clear he was referring to
Olisa Adibua, who presents the Morning Rush on the station.

Olisa Adibua himself, has fallen out at Storm, after a reported
disagreement with Obi Asika.

Why I gave Boko Haram N1.5 million for Sallah rams – Senator Zanna

Remember Senator Zanna was invited by the SSS yesterday. Well another
story came up; the senator had to explain to the men who interrogated
him why he gave Boko Haram
members N1.5M for Sallah rams.

Monday night, Zanna arrived at the SSS headquarters in Abuja at about
1 pm where he was processed for interrogation.

He gave further insight into his relationship with the dreaded
Islamist sect and reiterated his denial that Bama was arrested in his
Maiduguri home.

He told his interrogators that he gave N1.5 million for Sallah rams to
the sect members following their threat to attack him.

He explained that when they took his aide to his house for a search,
they retrieved N250, 000 and left a message with the aide for him that
he should provide them N10 million or they would come for him.

The senator, who was released at about 10 pm, is expected to report
back at the SSS headquarters by 11am Tuesday.

The bottom line of it all is that, he SSS men during their
interrogation with the Senator found out that, the Senator still
communicates with his nephew, Bama the Boko Haram
member, but the Senator insists it is not true.
