Yvonne Okoro In ‘The Game’: Win Or Lose….

blank

When someone does something extraordinary for the first time, people think it’s a fluke. Yes doubt is created in their minds until the person comes back to build upon the first performance.

In this new movie ‘The Game’, Yvonne Okoro played a role of Brandy Osei, a desperate talkative who falls in love with a man, Ronny Lawson (John Dumelo) she’s not set her eyes on.

Answering question on why she accepted to play such a role, Yvonne told GhanaCelebrities.com “I think the script was different. Most of the movies I have done, I think am always a house wife or some other roles even though they were leading roles”.

“So I thought, me being young and the person I am, I talk a lot so I said okay let me accept this and because of the director and the other cast”.

Age & Marriage, Should Society Be A Determining Factor?

blank

Have you noticed that when you reach a certain age the clock in your head starts to give hints about marriage? Is this clock biological or sometimes is it also society (like your family or friends) that ticks in your head?  If anybody had told me marriage is about age when growing up, then I think I would have waited a little bit before hitting 20 and above. Unfortunately this is not how this commitment appears to function. I am not the type that is scared of ageing.

I don’t know about any of you, but I think ageing makes one wiser and confident. The song says ‘all you need is love’, and I couldn’t agree more. Some people probably started making wedding plans before hitting 20. For instance thoughts of what their wedding is going to be like, where and what age they ‘must’ settle down. I have come across many people who always relate marriage to age and got me thinking…what is this about? Who makes these rules anyway?

What happened to ‘I am in love and want to spend the rest of my life with the one I want to be the mother or father of my children. Instead of ‘I need to settle down because I am ageing’?

I try to stay away from such people to avoid the pressure of settling down because of age or for comfort. Marriage as I have understood is a union between two individuals depending on the culture. Perhaps I should get a reality check but I am sure some will agree with me that marriage and having a family is about taking a responsibility for another individual. It seems like some of us do forget this and rush into marriage for the reason of ageing. There is absolutely nothing wrong in getting married in my point of view. I still endure in the age of romance and would settle for the sake of passion, understanding and caring.

‘Kε Vim’ has been used on the build-up to the first anniversary of the Zain Waakye Party. The anniversary version was held last Sunday, the 4th of July 2009 at the Aviation Social Centre.

The party moved from the usual venue at Auntie Muni inside Labone to a spacious venue where the event recorded large numbers of facebookers (call them facebook ‘gbee’. Gbee is used to describe addicts of something in the local parlance) gathered to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the Facebook Waakye Party.

The party began at 10:00am but yours truly got there at 1:00pm. Soon every available space at the parking lot had been occupied with vehicles, while hundreds of people ready to party made their way to the forecourt of the venue.

SriBuO Release for the week – Asaase Aban – Nana Yaa

blank
Asaase Aban

This week, we are bringing you the sophomore album from the Hot Boyz – Asaase Aban. Nana Yaa is a Hiplife album in the truest sense of the word. It is very common to see albums of “Hiplife” genre that are rife with beats and instrumentals devoid of almost any traditional Ghanaian beats. This album is different. On every single track, you can distinctly hear the “Ghanaianess” of the sounds. When you couple that with the local dialect raps of the artistes (Ga, Twi etc.) it makes for a very unique listen that is a departure from what you would traditionally find on the Ghanaian music market.

Love & Relationship: Real Men Like Real Hair – Why Weaves Don’t Work…

Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell

If you pay attention to the images portrayed in magazines and mainstream movies, most will have you believe that all men are stuck on the idea of their women having long hair. Whether it’s Beyoncé or Tamika up the block, achieving that look usually means getting a weave, tracks, wig, or whatever other follicle trickery beauticians use to fake the funk. That’s not to say that a black woman can’t have naturally long hair without assistance, but more times than not that sister with the ponytail is actually rocking a phony tail.

I Wanted To Change GoalKeeper Kingson Before The Penalty Shoot-Out-Ghana’s Coach

blank

Ghana head coach Milovan Rajevac has revealed he thought of taking off Richard Kingson before the penalty shoot-out against Uruguay on Friday night.

The West Africans were knocked out in the quarterfinals after losing 4-2 on penalties to Uruguay at the Soccer City Stadium after playing to a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

Stephen Ahorlu warmed up briefly during extra time and some Ghanaian journalists explained to KickOff.com that he could have fared better in the shoot-out than Kingson.

“Everything happened so fast. I thought about changing the goalkeeper but I didn’t. I was thinking of someone who could do well for us in the penalty shoot-out,” Rajevac revealed.

Essence Music Festival in New Orleans Day 1

When GhanaCelebrities.Com spotlighted on Idris Elba with a follow up article on him winning 2010 BET’s  Best Actor Award, I had a lot of readers slamming it on me on the grounds that, Idris ELba does not see himself as a Ghanaian and as such there is no reason for us to keep talking about him here. Some went far as to say, I am forcing him unto them . (Forcing a man who does not recognise himself as a Ghanaian to become  one of us…)

Reggie Rockstone, far right

Residents of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region are bracing themselves up to receive one of the most adorable sons, Reggie Osei Rockstone.

Undoubtedly, Reggie Rockstone’s style  is admired and love in Kumasi.  Though many music lovers from  “Oseikrom” have shown deep love for Reggie’s music, many have expressed disappointment at not having the opportunity to witness him perform in years.

Ghana Cheated Out Of World Cup: Luis Suarez Hits Goal Bound Ball Out Of Goal With Handball And Uruguay Move On!

blank

I did not want to write on yesterday’s match for reasons best know to me. How on earth can someone cheat like this and be successful at the end?  Sometimes, such things make we wonder if Karma and all those Pay Back spirits really exist.

It seems for one  to be successful or to achieve anything great in this world we live in, that person  has to cheat others and later glorify or justify his cheating wonders. If this is not true, how on earth can Uruguay go through after vividly cheating under the eyes of the whole world?

Anyway, another celebrity website, Bossip.com which is not a Ghanaian media outlet has expressed their unbiased sentiments about the game and instead of writing up anything myself, I am presenting that as the true view of events since it came from a non-Ghanaian.  Read Below for what Bossip had to say about the match……

Fame On Yvonne Nelson. She Is Just Not Matured, Leave Her To Wallow In Her Ignorance…

blank

We all accept and acknowledge that celebrities are humans and as such should be given some space even though writers and paparazzis should not be stopped from writing and chasing them around. Celebrities should not also forget that they live on fame and as long as they continue to substantially benefit from fame, they will have little privacy in relation to many aspects of their lives.

In the judgement of Baroness Hale during  a recent case in UK involving Naomi Campbell, the UK  court acknowledged that , celebrities benefit from tabloid newspapers and gossip websites and the tabloid newspapers also benefit from these celebrities.  ”Both are grown ups  who know the score”.  Based on the courts deduction, I would want to know if  Yvonne Nelson still does not know the score or what?.

This is and will continue to be a cat and mouse  game.  As celebrities run around enjoying or benefiting from their fame as well as trying to keep certain things private, Taloid newspapers and websites like Ghanacelebrities.Com which want to keep its readers informed of the activites of these celebrity figures, and expose their lies, weakness, evasions and hypocrisies in a hunt down will continue to chase them. ( We have learnt and matured in how to deal with these celebrities, so why dont they also learn ?)…

Fire On The Mountain: Nollywood-Ghallywood Actors Face Trouble: Ghana Slams $1,000 Fee On Nigerian Actors

Nollywood

Who started the mess? Oh yes, i mean who, when and why? I don’t want to say that the friendly relationship between the two fake woods (Nollywood/Ghallywood) has gone sour but something is really going wrong. It is official now, Nigerian Actors have to pay $1,000 if they desire or want to act in Ghanaian movies. The article below will give you the full gist.

I would like to mention that, it is unfortunate GC’s  attempt to entertain, educate and inform is sometimes  being turned into insult battles between “some” readers. For your info, we do not take any special interest in putting up Nollywood/Ghallywood or Nigeria/Ghana stories. When they come up, we will put them as we do for any other interesting and intriguing story.

For the last few months, issues and debates in the media have been centred on these two woods and countries. We expect you to discuss these issues without insults. If the “post hijacking” and insults continue, GC may reconsider it’s freedom of expression and speech policy by beginning to moderate and delete insulting comments. We do not want to do this but certain folks are pushing us to have a consideration for this…

All the same, Check out the article which was published in PM News, Nigeria.

Nasara Miriam Abdul Rauf is still claiming to be Ghana Most Beautiful winner 2009 after Tv3, the organizing body of the beauty pageant has issued a press statement to strip her off the title.

According to Tv3, Nasara has been found guilty in their eyes upon investigation of an alleged phone theft and to maintain the reputation of their pageant, they deem it necessary and fit to strip her off the 2009 title.

Nasara on the other hand has denied stealing any phone and “moving down” the line of set up and an attempt by TV3 to subject her to ridicule.( Why will TV3 make you and unmake you for no reason?, I do not know…)

Black Stars Charging Up Team Spirit in South Africa + Ghana Vs Uruguay, What Are Your Predictions?
