Stella Damasus Aboderin floats production company - Encomium magazine

Multi-talented entertainer, Stella Damasus Aboderin, has berthed with a production company. The first from the stable is the Stella Damasus show, a mixed grill of exciting and thought provoking television programmes with titles like Sistaz, a sitcom talk show, Thru my eyes, Gig Life, Real people and others.

According to Stella who is an ambassador of the S.O.S Children Village and a member of the world food programme "We're discussing with some local, international and cable TV networks and their responses are very encouraging, so we are sure to debut early next year."

Great! Congrats babe! I love being inspired! Be inspired!

MI sells 100, 000 copies in less than two weeks - Seun Apara (Encomium)

Fast rising rap artiste, MI, has finally released his debut album entitled 'Talk About It'. The album was released by T.Joe on thursday Dec 11th. He released a few copies which he intended using to test the market. The first batch of 100, 000 copies entered the market at 4:47pm and before the close of business in Alaba International market the same day, the album sold out.

Great news. Can't wait to get my hands on that album. Y'all should also check it out.

PRESS RELEASE FOR MEM'O

Not sure if you can define or refer to her as a new artiste. She decided to focus on discovering and developing talent out of a passion for the industry and what it portends. This led to the birth of one of the pioneer Creative Arts Management Company in Nigeria, ONE Integrated Management Co, she won the first ever British Council, International Young Music Entrepreneur (Nigeria) Award in 2006, was nominated as Young Entreprenur of the year at the 2007 Future Awards and has been a major contributor to the development of the Nigerian entertainment Industry. All this is asides the fact that she is a part of the history making, industry defining, Nigerian International group KUSH.

Most people know her as Emem Ema but as an artiste, she'd rather be known as Mem'O! When the world wondered when would she drop her own solo album she never gave into the pressure. Apparently, one phone call from her group member and producer extraordinaire, Dapo Torimiro sealed the deal. For thise who do not know, Dapo is a member of KUSH and has recently been responsible for hits like John Legend's "Quickly", Brandy's "Torn Down", David Archuleta's "Running" and co wrote Obama's Campaign song, "Change". He produces and features in her hit single GREENLIGHT which is tearing up the Nigerian airwaves in just less than a week of release. Greenlight is a product of what happens when creative chemistry collides...enjoy the fresh sound from the artiste known as, Mem'O.

From music to fashion, check out pix from the recently held Lapooza Lingerie Fashion show in Lagos.

In most Nigerian lingerie fashion shows, the models always insist on having their faces covered, which is understandable. In all my years of modeling, I did only one Lingerie fashion show and no I didn't cover my face and yes it was shown live on TV, with millions of people checking out our bare bum...lol. Those were the days.

Speaking of Lingerie fashion shows, check out pix from the 2008 Victoria Secrets Fashion show...

This show took place over a month ago but mehn I have to have it on my blog. It's when I see things like this that I miss modeling so much. Hopefully one day I'll go on the runway again, one final time... ;)

Living Single + Rhythm Unplugged and Zain Dynamix Youths Award

Hi people, hope y'all are having an incredible time. I'm having a swell time shacking up with friends on the Island. My older sis has this flat on the Island that I usually take over by this time of the year, 'cos she likes to spend her Christmas abroad. Been here since Wednesday, kinda stopped working from the office. My guys come over here to talk to me about work and stuff and my mum has been calling my phone non stop, come home she says, come home and do what? Island sweet pass Surulere, leave me alone abeg...lol

So here's what I want us to talk about today. Is it OK for a single girl to LIVE ALONE? Is there anything wrong with it? Especially when your parents live in the same city? Some people have been encouraging me to rent my own flat and move out of my parents house. I've totally refused and I'm adamant about it...I want to go from my father's house to my husband's house, living alone is not something that I've ever considered, I doubt if I'll ever do it but there are lots of girls doing it. Is there anything wrong with it?
Pls share your thoughts.

Also, I got an email from someone asking how much it will cost for her to put stuff on my blog...HOW MUCH??? Ok here it is, I don't charge a dime. This is a social utility site and not a money making venture. I do this 'cos I enjoy it, it's not my day job lol, so if there's anything you want to share with other readers of this blog, just email it to me...I'll upload it with all pleasure and no charge to you...

Ok, check out pictures from the recently held Rhythm Unplugged show. I promised a few friends that I was going to go with them to this show, but when it came time to go....well, I have to do something about my lack of interest in going to social events...even weddings, and birthdays, and ...oh, I'm such a sad person...lol

Enough writing, enjoy the pix...

From that to something a little sad...I don't want to believe it but the story making the rounds now have it that Janet and JD have called it quits.

Read the story below...

Janet Jackson has split up with her long-term record producer boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, according to tabloid reports.
The couple has been an item for four years, and was only recently rumored to be planning to marry and start a family together.
However the National Enquirer claims Jackson and Dupri began battling over the failure of her recent tour, which he managed, and which ended with a string of canceled concerts because of illness and reports of poor ticket sales.
And sources tell the tabloid the 36-year-old has moved out of the superstar’s Los Angeles home, and they have agreed to spend time apart. The insider says, “Janet and Jermaine finally hit a wall. They were fighting over his management of her career. In the end, she decided to make a break.”
Representatives for the two have yet to comment on the reports.

Hopefully it's not true...

MTV Man of the Year

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. is no longer just your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. In fact, considering the way he’s been carrying around a guitar lately, you could be forgiven for wondering if he event wants to be a rapper anymore. But the fact remains that for 12 long months, no one dominated hip-hop like Wayne did. No one sold more records, generated more headlines or appeared on as many tracks. No one flooded the market with as much product, and — in a genre loaded with compelling characters — no one was as mercurial, controversial, hilarious and, well, bizarre as Weezy was.

I concur.

Tuface's new album

His new album is now in stores, go grab your own copy

Madonna...without make-up

Not bad...only now I believe she's 50...lol

Thought of the day

To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.

Waiting for your opinion on LIVING SINGLE...

See y'all in a bit.

Have a ball!
