in an uncompromising position.

The inseparable lovers have been making their romance public, the
reason, according to her friends is because marriage is in the offing

PHOTOS: Is Yvonne Nelson bleaching?

Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has responded to her skin bleaching
allegation. Below was her statement:

My attention has been drawn to recent media reports that I am
bleaching my skin and the continuous nature of this wicked, unfounded
and absolutely unnecessary misinformation have compelled me to once
again respond.

These stories are absolutely not true and do not in any way put food
on anybody's table, does not add value to any body's life and can only
be described as mischief.

I fully understand the dangers of skin bleaching and would not engage
in any such venture. I am a lady and I appreciate my God-given looks.
I do not need to change my skin colour for any reason.

Truth is that even if I was bleaching, I do not owe anyone any
explanation, but I am not bleaching, I have not bleached and I won't
bleach.

I love my skin just the way it is and I do my best to keep it healthy
and nice. If God has remained good to me and continues to make my skin
nicer, I do not see how it should be a problem to someone.

In a society that largely frowns on skin bleaching, it would be unfair
and very unkind to falsely accuse me of bleaching when I am absolutely
innocent of that charge.

As an actress I take different pictures under different shades of
light and with different shades of makeup depending on what the
picture would be used for.

It is therefore not strange to find different pictures of me looking
different. It does not mean I am bleaching and one does not need to be
an industry player to know this.

Even in movies, depending on who the director is, there are different
lighting angles and brightness levels that can be used to make a
character look different and this is no secret. Even a change of
weather can have an effect of one's skin.

I want to use this platform to assure all persons who have expressed
worry about these reports that there is no cause for alarm because I
am not bleaching, have not bleached and would not bleach.

There are more prudent and beneficial things to focus on and these
frequent distractions are of no use.

I should have spent this time focusing on my new movies or memorizing
my next script and not responding to false gossips.

Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Yvonne Nelson

Adele makes James Bond cry

James Bond, Secret Agent 007 in the service of Her Majesty the Queen
of England or rather who plays the character, actor Daniel Craig, has
confessed that Adele's song for the soundtrack of the film "Skyfall"
has made him mourn from the opening bars.

Not that James Bond has become a sentient being, it must be in spite
of his own stunts in all his films, and it is that Daniel Craig does
not like the singer Adele, a song that will not be like its
repertoire. What Daniel Craig has confessed according to information
from Yahoo Movies , that Adele has made him mourn.

The first time that Daniel Craig heard the theme of the last James
Bond film, "Skyfall", composed and performed by British singer Adele,
was so moved that a tear fell down his
face serious and impenetrable character.

Craig also said he was always sure she was the righ to interpret the
song for the soundtrack: "From the first bars and listening to his
voice, I knew immediately that was exactly what I wanted from the
beginning".

The producers of the film, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, have
commented that the first choice to play the main theme of "Skyfall"
was Adele. Although, of course, there are rumors that another possible
option would have been the group Muse but discarded the first time.

They were very clear, Adele was the one.

STAY AWAY FROM MARRIED MEN – KAREN IGHO ADVISES NOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES, OTHERS

If there is one sector that has given the entertainment industry in
Nigeria a bad name, it would be the motion pictures industry called
Nollywood. From cases ranging from husband snatching to high rates of
divorce, fights, jealousy and many more.

It is an understatement to say that in every three marriages in
Nollywood, there would be one surrounded with controversies. It is not
that those in the music industry do not have their bad sides, but
Nollywood seems to be too much.

For 2011 Big Brother Africa winner, Karen Igho, who is also an On Air
Personality (OAP) with Naija FM, the occurrence might have been
getting unbearable for her as a lady when she took to twitter to make
her mind known about it.

Karen dropped a message for ladies which also included single
Nollywood actresses who run after married man and warned that the law
of karma awaits them because they will get what they do in full
measure, shaken, pressed down and overflowing.

"Girls (including Nollywood actresses), stay away from married men or
guys with girlfriends because what goes around comes back around
(karma)," the Warri, Delta State Nigerian star tweeted.

MAN GETS AWAY WITH N80,000 FINE FOR DEFILING 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL

A Benin Magistrates' Court, Edo state has sentenced 39-year-old
Saturday Udoh to five years imprisonment with an option of N80, 000
fine for defiling a five-year-old girl.

Chief Magistrate Mike Osayi, while delivering his judgement held that
the prosecution, led by Sergeant Shaibu Mohammed, proved its case of
defilement against the convict beyond reasonable doubt.

The prosecution had told the court that Udoh committed the offence on
May 31, at Falodun Country Home Motel, Benin, and that the one-count
charge contravened Section 218 of the criminal code.The court held
that the convict's alibi didn't check out.

The court also faulted the witnesses called by the convict, noting
that their testimonies were conflicting. The court further held that
the proximity between the convict's residence and his office could not
rule out the possibility of the convict dashing home to commit the
offence and returning to work.

The court also held that there was identification parade conducted in
the house and the little girl could not have been mistaken when she
pointed at the convict as being responsible for her defilement.

Osayi described the victim as intelligent due to her evidence in court
as well as the manner she responded to questions put to her by the
court during cross examination.

The court found Udoh guilty as charged, and he was sentenced accordingly.

10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD EAT MORE CARROTS

Carrots are more than a tasty addition to almost any dish. They are
also good for your body's overall health, especially that of the skin,
eyes, digestive system and teeth!

So if the sweet flavor isn't enough, enjoy these 10 reasons to eat more carrots:

1. Beta carotene: Carrots are a rich source of this powerful
antioxidant, which, among other vital uses, can be converted into
vitamin A in the body to help maintain healthy skin.

2. Digestion: Carrots increase saliva and supply essential minerals,
vitamins and enzymes that aid in digestion. Eating carrots regularly
may help prevent gastric ulcers and other digestive disorders.

3. Alkaline elements: Carrots are rich in alkaline elements, which
purify and revitalize the blood while balancing the acid/alkaline
ratio of the body.

4. Potassium: Carrots are a good source of potassium, which can help
maintain healthy sodium levels in the body, thereby helping to reduce
elevated blood pressure levels.

5. Dental Health: Carrots kill harmful germs in the mouth and help
prevent tooth decay.

6. Wounds: Raw or grated carrots can be used to help heal wounds, cuts
and inflammation.

7. Phytonutrients: Among the many beneficial phytochemicals that
carrots contain is a phytonutrient called falcarinol, which may reduce
the risk of colon cancer and help promote overall colon health.

8. Carotenoids: Carrots are rich in carotenoids, which our bodies can
use to help regulate blood sugar.

9.  Fiber: Carrots are high in soluble fiber, which may reduce
cholesterol by binding the LDL (low density lipoprotein) form (the
kind we don't want) and increasing the HDL (high density lipoprotein)
form (the kind our body needs) to help reduce blood clots and prevent
heart disease.

10. Eyes, hair, nails and more! The nutrients in carrots can improve
the health of your eyes, skin, hair, nails and more through helping to
detoxify your system and build new cells!

There are plenty more reasons to enjoy these crunchy, sweet root
vegetables, so if you've not had a carrot in a long time, dash to your
nearest neighbourhood market to pick up a bunch or two – you could
give some out as well.

BRAZILIAN STUDENT SELLS HER VIRGINITY TO HELP BUILD HOMES FOR THE POOR

Features: A Brazilian student is auctioning off her virginity to the
highest bidder to raise cash to build homes for poverty-stricken
families.

Catarina Migliorini, 20, is set to plough the money – currently
standing at $155,000 (£95,400) – into a non-governmental organisation
which will construct modern houses in her southern Brazilian home
state of Santa Catarina.

Rejecting claims she is a prostitute, she said she still believed in
love but saw the opportunity to make a positive difference to the
world.

But the physical education student has sparked controversy because she
will be followed every step of the way by an Australian film crew for
a documentary film called Virgins Wanted.

She said: 'I saw this as a business. I have the opportunity to travel,
to be part of a movie and get a bonus with it.

'If you only do it once in your life then you are not a prostitute,
just like if you take one amazing photograph it does not automatically
make you a photographer.

'The auction is just business, I'm a romantic girl at heart and
believe in love. But this will make a big difference to my area,'  she
told Folha newspaper.

Catarina, who is of Italian descent, signed up to the project two
years ago when she saw an advert by Thomas William Productions looking
for a virgin to film.

Director Justin Sisely will record her emotions before and after her
first sexual encounter. A male virgin called Alexander is also being
followed.

She will receive $20,000 and 90 per cent of the final auction sale
price, which ends on October 15.

The winner will be tested for sexually transmitted diseases prior to
the encounter which will take place on an aeroplane, leaving from
Australia to the US, in a bid to circumvent prostitution laws.

A condom will be compulsory, with Catarina saying she was prepared to
prove to any sceptics that she has not had sex before.
