Kim Kardashian pleads with Kanye West to attend her baby shower

According to a report by RadarOnline.com, Kim K had to beg her baby daddy Kanye West to make an appearance at her baby shower which would hold June 2nd and filmed for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kanye supposedly resisted initially because he doesn't want anything to do with her reality TV show. 

"He just doesn't want to appear on the show at all, period. Kim nagged him until he agreed when she said it would look really bad if he didn't show up. Kanye thinks it's silly to even go to the baby shower since he will be the only man there. He will be there for less than ten minutes, tops. It was important to Kim that he go, so he agreed.'

RadarOnline also reported that Kanye wants Kim to quit reality TV because he thinks it is a waste of time. A source said: 'Kanye doesn't want to film the show anymore. And he doesn't want Kim to do reality TV either. He's pushing her to stop. He wants to be in control of his image, not at the mercy of show producers. The Kardashian show hurts his cool image.'

Lindsay Lohan Sued $5Million For Highly-Publicized Drug Problems

(TMZ) Lindsay Lohan has just been sued for $5 million she doesn’t have … all because of her highly-publicized drug problems, TMZ has learned.

D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries — a clothing manufacturer — just filed the countersuit against Lindsay in response to Lindsay’s lawsuit against the company.

In her lawsuit, Lindsay says she struck a business deal with D.N.A.M. in 2009 allowing them to manufacture clothes for her “6126″ clothing line — but D.N.A.M. stiffed her on a massive licensing fee. Lindsay wants $1.1 million in damages.

But D.N.A.M. is now coming back at Lindsay for nearly five times that amount, insisting SHE’S the reason their business deal fell apart.

According to D.N.A.M., the company did its darndest to sell their 6126 clothes to high-end third party retailers — but by spring 2010, no one would touch the brand … because Lindsay was back in rehab … and her legal problems were playing out in the media “like a Greek tragedy.”

D.N.A.M. claims Lindsay’s “drug-addled image” destroyed 6126′s reputation, and rendered the clothing line completely unsellable.

D.N.A.M. says it invested millions in 6126 for nothing — and now it’s suing for breach of contract and fraud, demanding at least $5 million in damages.

And the irony … Lindsay’s currently back in rehab yet again.

Nollywood Star Genevieve Nnaji Relocates Parents To New Lekki House

Nollwood Star actress, Genevieve Nnaji She has just moved them from Egbeda, Lekki, Lagos.

Both parents are in late 60s according to sources close to the family; they were full of excitement about the move.

House in Lekki

Genevieve, according to the source had in recent time found it challenging to check on her parents due to distance, besides, she felt her dad who could hardly walk due to old age on his own would be closer to her and receive adequate medical care. On few occasions that she has visited, fans, especially boisterous school children had swarmed her.

Genny and her Dad

Since the relocation, her mum, who has been a very active member and President of the Catholic Women’s Association Wing of the St. Louis Cathedral, Egbeda, has not been regular in the church though a family source said she has completed her tenure as the President and a fresh election brought in a new President. The mother now attends a church close to their Lekki home. The family now lives together as one and that really makes Genevieve happy.”

Until the movement the family has stayed the better part of their lives in Egbeda. Checks revealed that Genevieve actually started her career from 11, Olugbede Street, Egbeda, where she lived with her parents in one of the apartments in a four block of flats. As soon as she started having a rising profile, earned fatter cheques, and endorsements, she moved them to another place also in Egbeda six years ago. When her fame grew bigger, she relocated them to another spacious and expansive apartment, situated in a block of nine flats in 7/9 Aderibigbe Sokunbi Street, Egbeda.

When we visited the last apartment, the Nnaji’s former neighbours described the Nnajis as peaceful, loving and elderly neighbours  “We will miss Genevieve’s parents for their love to all, they are very peaceful, their children too. Though the husband is always indoors due to old age, his wife cares a lot for him. We will miss the star presence that Genevieve brings to the neighbourhood each time she visits”.Awwwwwwwwwwwwww thatsso sweet f her God bless her more and more IJN AMEN....

Nigeria's Next Top Designer-It is a talent hunt show Coming Soon

 Africa Fashion week London, the biggest African inspired fashion  event in the UK
The growing of fad and attraction for African inspired designs globally and the level of creativity displayed by Nigerian designers at the 2012 edition of AFWL, provides ample inspiration for the emergence of Nigeria’s Next Top Designer, NNTD.

It is a talent hunt show, aimed at promoting African inspired designs from Nigeria and fostering the promotion and development of aspiring Nigerian designers on the world stage.

A magnificent platform for emerging designers, it is a reality show of a special kind, aimed at bringing together  various fashion designers from across the country to showcase the richness of the Nigerian fashion Culture and fabrics.

The project will provide overall management for the distinguished designers, help them develop their skills through our various workshops and trainings.

NNTD will in still pride in Nigerian fashion designs, promote the creativity of our talented designers, and celebrate the diversity of the Nigerian fashion culture and its  collective contribution to the fashion industry. It will pave the way for the expansion of Nigerian  designers into the global fashion industry, through our international partners. After eons of deliberating and pondering  on how to go about the project, a branded vision has now been conceptualized.

The global fashion market has seen a remarkable growth  in African inspired designs. Looking around us today, majority of mainstream designers have adopted  the new African urban look in their designs. Common and well known designs include the popular Ankara used mostly by Nigerians,  which is now finely crafted in unique and jaw  dropping  styles.

In this ever growing attraction for African inspired designs, Nigeria’s Next Top Designer arrives on the scene.
NNTD will be a 13 week reality show which will include an audition for designers across the country. The competition will be open to aspiring, emerging, existing and new designers. It will be a cutting-edge competition that aims to find the best emerging designer in Nigeria. Participants will include fashion designers, textile designers, accessory designers, footwear and handbag designers, jewellers and milliners.

There will be designers representing the cultural fashion scene from all parts of Nigeria. A pool of 1000 new/emerging designers will be auditioned across the country. They will then be whittled down to 36 eventually by a panel of judges made up of fashion experts. The successful applicants will take part in various tasks to display their creativity. They will be groomed and mentored by our in house guest judges. 
First the emerging designers will work in groups under the supervision of mentors and then as individuals to display their creativity in making fashion items. They will then be trained on how to turn their creative ideas into self sustenance.

The winner goes home with an all expense paid trip to the UK for AFWL2014, cash prize, equipment  and a workshop and showroom space  at the STUDIO29  concession store for one year. 

Their collections will also be shown at AFWN 2013. There will be a lot of public and audience involvement. Viewers will be allowed to comment but the final winners will be chosen by the judges. At the heart of NNTD is the willingness to showcase the works of Nigerian designers to an international audience and also to work with them to build sustainable brands.

We will be looking for creative and unique talent that lives and breathes fashion to become the NNTD. There will be a minimum entry criteria and those who do not meet them will not be considered.
