John Dumelo, Miss Haiti Universe 2010 & Yvonne Nelson

Vegas somehow always means TROUBLE!!. and readers have been asking what the new movie starring John Dumelo, Yvonne Nelson and Jimmy Jean-Louis is all about. Well, thanks to Overwrite, I can now bring more details on ”One Night in Vegas”. Trouble and suspense arrive in ‘Sin City’ when Jimmy and Yvonne get together.

“One Night in Vegas” tells the story about a couple who decide to get away for a while after a long drawn out court case involving the husband’s(Dumelo) business. They go to Vegas and going along with them, under cover, is a US government Special Agent (Jean-Louis). Sins are committed and what happens in Vegas unfortunately does not stay in Vegas.

Extremely excited to be a part of the project, Jimmy Jean-Louis describes it as a “great experience and a film with lots of potential”. The star intends to expand his work within Africa and with African filmmakers as a way of supporting the growth of the industry and its crossover appeal.

Also starring in the film is Sarodj Bertin, Miss Haiti Universe 2010. One Night in Vegas is produced by Kobby Maxwell and Directed by John Uche. Van Vicker also makes a Special Guest Appearance.

Beauty Tips: How To Avoid The Too-Light Concealer Look

Way too light under eye concealer gets in the way of everything, especially pictures taken at night. It makes it seem like you applied your make-up in the dark or don’t know your skin colour. When you’re going to be photographed you have to be very careful. That camera flash can be brutal.



Typically you want your under eye concealer to match your skin tone but be no more than one shade lighter. If you have dark spots or dark circles you want to cover, a concealer with a honey undertone worn under your foundation works best to cancel out the darkness.



Some concealers to try for caramel and darker skin tones are MAC Full Coverage Foundation in Orange, the BlackUp Click Pen Concealer, or the BlackUp Matifying Foundation. These products neatly and imperceptibly cover blemishes and imperfections while providing long-lasting finish and leaving the complexion looking even.

I Get Tired Of Hearing How Big My Head Is – Banky W

Banky W had some free time on Sunday, away from home and work, and decided to spend it with fans on Twitter.

He got cozy with fans answering all questions and replying to all mentions as much as he could; mostly lauding him for a great work done on the still-selling R&B album.

What caught my eye however was the part where a fan asked Banky W; “Do you ever get tired of hearing how handsome you are?”

I’m sure ‘@TheNubianQween was disappointed at Banky’s response. She’d be expecting something sweet, or just a ‘thank you’, but Banky W replied with; “I get tired of hearing how big my head is.”

I’ve heard folks say in the past that Banky wears a cap always because he’s got a big head. Come on guys!hehehehehehehe

Rihanna makes fans wait over 4 hours

Los Angeles – Rihanna kept 2 500 high school students waiting for four-and-a-half hours.

The Stay singer has come under fire for appearing at Barrington High School in Chicago extremely late and staying just 16 minutes after the school won a competition, sponsored by her, by producing a video highlighting their charity work and using her hit song Diamonds as the soundtrack.

According to The Chicago Tribune the 25-year-old star was supposed to be at the school at 13:00 on Thursday last week, but she didn't turn up until well after 17:00.

The students were allegedly forced to wait inside a small gym until she arrived.

Riri suggested traffic was the reason for her lengthy delay, as she tweeted on her way to the event: ”This Chicago traffic is not working.”

Jay Z Opens Up About Beyonce: “Would I Still Be Jay Z?”

I came across this piece on Facebook. This should make everyone rethink their opinions on Jay Z — and not in a good way.

Jay Z writes:

“The way she has changed my life… If I didn’t have her…? Where would I be? Who will I be? Sometimes I wonder if I would still be Jay-Z. It’s so surreal. First time I laid eyes on her she was 16, I had a thought in my head, “she will be mine“, became my best friend….20 years old, it was time..

before you knew it she made me swallow my pride and my own words bit me in the ass.. “Forever mackin” – 8 years later, married, one kid. She saved me. @ibbaddie @baddiebey”AWWWWWWWWWWW THIS IS SO SWEET...TRUELOVE

Why we make sex look real in our movies-Yvonne Okoro

""I think sometimes when you are acting, you feel like doing something that you want to be remembered for. Maybe in the course you overdo it. It depends on the script. I think in Ghana we wanted to start something, like a Trans-setter. I remember in those days, when people are kissing and they do it tackily, and we are thinking if you can’t kiss, then don’t do it. So I think we ended up doing it well or we are overdoing it. The truth of the matter is it exists in our culture.
Our culture does not allow topics like sex and nudity but in a way sometimes I think we are also being hypocritical. A Hollywood movie will come, we will watch it and be happy and compliment them. I think if you are going to do nudity, you should not do it in a tacky way. It should be done with what will conform to our culture. I think it is about choice, if you think you want to remove yourself and think it will help your character and you don’t have a problem with it, it is fine.""
