MNet’s hit show is on the look out for the freshest and hottest music across Africa to play in the Big Brother house from 1st May 2011.
MNet is calling out to producers of Ghanaian music to submit CD’s of their music to the Multichoice Ghana office to be forwarded to the shows producers, Endemol, to evaluate for airplay. The selection will be based on how relevant the music is to the show and how it may be used to set a mood in the house.
It is not easy at all. What is not easy you ask? Celibacy is not easy. I mean, abstaining from sex!
When you have no one you love or care for, you easily convince yourself sex doesn’t really matter. It’s no big deal, you say to anyone who raises an eyebrow, or asks. I am strong you persuade yourself on those nights you go out with friends to catch that romantic comedy with those beautiful love scenes.
Hmmmmm. I tell you it is not easy. Abstinence is not what nature planned for a healthy human body. You hit puberty and the hormones start raging in your system. You read mills and boon and thrills and boon and sex is this earth shattering experience. You read Joan Collins and Harold Robbins and the raunchy aspects are described in titillating detail. The blood pools in certain parts of your body and you can’t wait to meet your own love and share sex with him.
Why abstinence then? You are a teenager and your body is so ready, more than ready. But you are filled with romantic fantasies of there being just one person with whom it would be special.
You also remember all the sunday school lessons you attended and if you’re like me, what the catechist made you vow before your confirmation. The years creep by and you become mature enough to realise that you are not emotionally ready no matter how much your body screams for it. You go back to your bible roots and tap some strength from being born again.
Abstinence. Sometimes you ask yourself, what does it really mean? If you make out with your transient boyfriends, does that count? Afterall you did get some pleasure and maybe an orgasm or two from them. You recreate these episodes in your mind those days during your cycle when you are so easily aroused.
And if you’re like me you put yourself in the dock those nights you wake up horny from the erotic dreams stalking subconscious. There is afterall that guy that wanted to be your **** buddy.
The years continue to pass and you still abstain. Some of your secondary school friends get married, get pregnant and you wonder at their new found confidence. Your university mates are sexually active and talk about all manner of stuff in your presence.
The recently held MPEG Awards Night in Accra attracted various celebrities and non-celebs such as those seen in the photos. When I came across these two photos, “Random Ridiculousness” came in mind. They are fit for purpose… Sometimes when I see folks dressed like this, my first question is; do they have mirrors at home … Read more
Do I have to even write anything? I guess I should because not all readers may understand the twi language. Actress Baby Blanche (Is that her real name? sounds like a playboy mate name), the young woman whose pubic hair was shaved on set allegedly by Socrate Sarfo in his upcoming movie “What Sex Can Do” … Read more
Ghanaian movie enthusiasts, especially die-hard fans of Leila Djansi will be very disappointed to hear that, the movie maker will no longer shoot any more movies in Ghana after wrapping up her latest project ‘Ties That Bind’.
Leila said “It’s 90% true” that she will not be shooting again in Ghana. This, she said at a press conference organized in Ho, Volta Region.
After the press conference, GhanaCelebrities.Com had a chit chat with the founder of Turning Point Pictures, a Los Angeles based production house to dissect more on the news of her moving out from Ghana.
It can be recollected that Leila Djansi did put on her facebook status sometimes back that, she will be using actress Nia Long in her latest movie. Weeks later she wrote up a different status announcing that Kimberly Elise has actually touched down in Ghana to feature in her movie instead of Nia Long.
People who wanted to see Nia Long in Ghana shared their opinions on that development; many said Leila should have waited and confirm who indeed will feature in her movie before going to public with names. Suddenly Nia Long seemed to have been swapped with Kimberly Elise.
“There was no swap. It wasn’t suddenly! I think it was a media thing. You media guys are hungry [not literary]. Seriously, it’s like you are starving sometimes, when something blows up in the air, you grab it and run instead of waiting for the meat, you just want to eat the bones. Just wait for the meat.” She defended herself.
You see, I have been doing this for the past 11 years. I’m even tired of writing the same things in different form every year so far as the Ghana Music Awards is concerned. It’s another year. Here we go!
Winners will be declared on Saturday April 9, 2011 at the Dome, Accra International Conference Centre. Below are my predicted winners for the night. And before you start spewing gibberish, don’t forget this is what we think and NOT what will happen on the night.
Yea! Good luck to the nominees. In case you forgot, we are responsible for our predictions.
Below are GhanaCelebrities.Com predictions for the night. What we think will necessarily not be the outcome of the awards. Therefore we wish all the nominated artistes good luck:
FULL LIST OF NOMINATIONS AND OUR PREDICTIONS IN CAPITALS WITH **
Last month, some of our celebrities stepped out in their glamour to various events and parties. Today, we bring to you these celebrities side by side for you to decide who amongst them all nailed it best and why.
As stated in our previous “Who Nailed It Best”, this column is meant to look at how various celebrities appeared in public (events) and make a pick on who nailed it best from the photos captured…
Top-selling Nigerian artist Ice Prince has said he will only perform his popular hit ‘Oleku’ song at the upcoming 233Connect Fabolous Live in Ghana Concert.
In a recorded audio sent in by his management team, the artist emphasized that he would only be performing his club-banging “Oleku” song at the 233 Connect Fabolous Live in Ghana Concert for the 1st time in Ghana and not on any other platform as widely being advertized in the local media.
“The only show I will be performing my “Oleku” song is at the 233 Connect Fabolous concert,” Ice Prince said in the audio.
I have decided to give the opportunity out to those who seem to have the zeal to take up this debate since I have seen that some readers are “post hijacking” certain articles in order to discuss this topic.
It would be great and more interesting if we can all send our views across without insulting each other or without engaging in any unnecessary name calling. The word is unnecessary!
The Ghanaian movie industry has taking a new dimension with the emergence of new directors, scriptwriters and producers which has to a larger extent affected the movies we are being fed with.
Fear is a common trace well entrenched in the lives of all human beings, either big or small. Its origin cannot be mapped and this is simply because it springs from within and has been in existence since our creation.

TEMA is a known name in Hip life and can also be credited for the origin on TWI POP. My only problem is that most of the classification of our songs do to have vivid definitions. I listened to a radio show for about 1 hour and efforts by countless people to define and explain what … Read more
WARNING: This does not apply to exes who have children and share custody. Please look away if you have a child with your ex. But keep reading if you are willing to agree to the points below and want to share them with your friends..
When relationships don’t go the way it is expected and you decide to go your separate ways, do you still keep in touch and try to be friends or do you become each others worst enemies in the history of mankind? Some would say being friends with your ex might not be an ideal way of moving on.
After all there is a reason why you broke up. On the other hand, why not? Now that would be civilised and a mature thing to do, wouldn’t it. Being the best of friends with someone who already knows you well can be a benefit for you, or would it? Either way, to become friends with your ex is not as straightforward as we might think. Take a good look at why you come to realise this.
Patching up the holes
Ok fair enough. Maybe you did not start on the right foot, maybe you rushed into being in a relationship and you did not take the time to know each other like you were supposed to. So perhaps being friends with your ex, trying to understand and getting to know each other afresh will not be such a bad idea, as long as your super power abilities that can predict that giving your relationship a second chance will work this time.
In the past we have done contests for our lucky readers to win products from fashion moguls of Ghanaian origin.

All you have to do is provide a lovely full frame picture of yourself and we shall do the rest. The look of African clothe is taking the fashion industry by storm what better way to exhibit this trend than to showcase the secret others in the west have caught on to, most notably L.A.M.B, Jean Paul Gaultier and Bantu Swimwear.
