DRAMATIC: Upcoming R&B singer Dencia fights @ the Headies

Yesterday night at the Headies Awards, fast rising R&B singer Dencia and another babe, Liz almost tore their clothes apart while one of them got her wig pulled, before on-lookers quickly came between them. Dencia attacked Liz claiming she stole some of her clothes, shoes and accessories in the past. An eye witness who saw the scenario says she was shocked to her nerves when she saw Dencia exchange blows with another lady. Also stating that, more is expected from her especially now that she is trying to stamp her feet in the entertainment world.

BTW Eldee dedicated his award to his wife, Dolapo who some say have been disturbed by her husband and the messy Mo’cheddah’s nude pic. The guy tried to win her back by telling the world yesterday how much he loved her (dolapo) on stage. SMART

Mario Balotelli sets house on fire with fireworks less than 48 hours before Manchester derb

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli had to escape from his burning house after fireworks had set fire to the bathroom, reports have revealed.

The Guardian reports the 21-year-old managed to leave his home without suffering injury just before 1 a.m. local time on Saturday - a day before Manchester City take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
"At just before 1 a.m. on Saturday we were called to a report of a house fire at a residential home in Mottram St Andrew," said a police spokesman.

"Police provided assistance to Cheshire fire and rescue service as well as ensuring residents were accounted for and there was no danger to surrounding properties.

"At this time, the cause of the fire is being examined by fire investigators and the police. However, it is not thought to be suspicious."
On Monday, club teammate Nigel de Jong insisted the Italy international had turned a corner regarding his behavior, following early incidents during his career at City which includes a reported case of throwing darts at youth players at the club's training ground.

Balotelli was able to train on Saturday morning after sleeping in a hotel in Manchester, but the fire was believed to be caused by the striker and a group of his friends setting off fireworks through the bathroom window.

The HipHop World Awards rebrands as the “Headies” – eLDee & Rita Dominic to host the 2011 Headies

Award winning actress Rita Dominic and celebrated artiste eLDee will host the 2011 edition of the Headies. In its continuing commitment to the promotion and development of urbane music Smooth Promotions, producers of the Headies awards announced on Monday that the two reputable performers have signed on to anchor this year’s show.

In a news release early this week, executive producerAyo Animashaun says eLDee and Rita Dominic – The veteran musician and respected actress are the ‘‘perfect’’ choice to host this year’s show.

Ayo Animashaun who is the CEO of Smooth promotions said in a statement released on Monday ‘‘I can exclusively tell you Rita Dominic and Eldee have signed on to host the Headies awards. We are energized by our choice of hosts and we are confident with both of them anchoring the show our audience will have fantastic moments and an amazing show. Be assured this duo brings the perfect mix of elegance and sophistication that will set the tone for an amazing show. Preparations are in top gear and we are once again presenting you with the biggest faces that you know to host the 6th edition of the Headies awards and it will be amazing’’ said Ayo Animashaun who founded the awards in 2006.

According to organizers, Eldee was a natural selection as host given his pedigree has a long standing successful music artiste and producer, while his co-host for the big night Rita Dominic is one of Nigeria’s biggest stars with a huge followership on the big and small screen.
Eldee, born Olanrewaju Dabiri is widely known by the moniker eLDee and is one of the earliest pioneers of hip hop music in Nigeria. He is a well respected artiste and music producer who released several chart topping songs and albums to much critical acclaim.

Rita Dominic exemplifies the perfect example of how a talented young girl can rise to become a household name in Nollywood with a long line of blockbuster movies to her credit. She starred in her first movie in 1998 and has since emerged as one of Nollywood’s biggest exports.

Hailed for one-of-a-kind moments, elegant fashion displays, and five star musical performances, the Headies (also refered to as Hip Hop World Awards) has produced some of the most unforgettable moments in the history of award shows in Nigeria. The annual music event is ranked among the top award shows in Africa.
The selection of the siren and the celebrated musician as masters of ceremonies for the high-profile event can best be described as a ‘‘plus’’ for this year’s edition which organizers have promised would be a wonderful experience for entertainment enthusiasts in Nigeria.
It’s the second time a movie personality will be host after fellow Nollywood actress Dakore co-hosted alongside Basketmouth in 2008.

Eldee and Rita Dominic follow in the footsteps of names such as Darey in 2006, D’banj and Tana who served as hosts in 2007, Dakore and Basketmouth in 2008, Banky W and Kemi Adetiba in 2009 all of whom have hosted the awards show in the past years.

The Headies (also known as Hip Hop World Awards) was created by Ayo Animashaun in 2006 as a platform to recognize and celebrate musical talents with the best, offering every calendar year with a total of twenty-two 21 carat gold award plaques to reward deserving artistes amid over 8,000 entries received every year.
