Most readers of GC might know by now that I like sentences and headlines that do catch people’s attention but I just read an article by News One and one of the paragraphs got me knocked out and laughing hard (eii Aba!)…
It reads ” Ghana’s Bundesliga star, Hans Adu Sarpei, has bought a $2,000 designer pet dog for Delores Frimpong Manso, aka Delay, as her 28th birthday gift and the dog, that goes by the name ‘Biscuits’, would be competing for the 2011 Ghana Movie Awards, says information reaching News-One”
How can I find for myself a footballer as a boyfriend too? After Menaye Donkor grabbed and married Sulley Muntari, her cousin who doubles as a close pal is rumoured to be in a hot romantic relationship with Kwadwo Asamoah of Blackstar fame, currently playing in Italy.
All though, Ama K Abebrese has discredited this rumour, GhanaCelebrities.Com’s source insists the two are together and as usual, the young Actress of Sinking Sands’ fame is playing
Tattoos and piercings are nothing new in the Western world. However, I must say I’m quite surprised at how quickly it seems to also be dominating Africa as well.
Although I was not raised in Ghana, I’ve always seen my country as being one of the ‘Japans’ of Africa- by this I mean that for an African country, I think we are well developed compare to others, and that we’re not doing too badly for ourselves- I see Ghana as one of the ‘big dogs’ of Africa (not being biased, just truthful).
It always saddens me to see instances where it seems as though our traditional and cultural practices are being banished, in order to make way for Westernised ideologies that do not really suit the moral fibre of a Ghanaian society.
After pushing for sometimes, the rest of the team has agreed to a new column called “Celebrity Status” where interesting or must know celebrity tweets or facebook status update we stumble upon would be featured… With this, you will get to know some of the intelligent, interesting and dumb stuff your favourite celebrities write on their social networking profiles.
To jump start the column, few minutes ago, the ace director Leila Djansi who is currently in Ghana promoting her recent movie “Sinking Sands” wrote her facebook status that she has been robbed and as a result has lost her Iphone and Blackberry…
Check out her message below…( You can click on the message to see it well)
The reason for using the opening definition is to eliminate the misconception that power automatically equates force. In reading the aforementioned article I was struck by, what I saw as missing information.
I will therefore, throughout this piece, pose a series of questions that came to my mind as I read the interview.
I needed some clarity on the legitimacy on the Film Producers Association of Ghana so I sought to engage some background information from my friend, Mr. Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri. Mr. Chris-Vincent Agyapong-Febiri is the founder of GhanaCelebrities.Com and the person who conducted the interview with Mr. Socrate Sarfo (PR of FIPAG).
I mentioned to Chris that I wanted to write a readers response to the interview but was doing a brief internet research on the legitimacy of FIPAG as to its affiliation with ECOWAS, Ghana’s Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Arts and Culture.
The Ghana Music Awards Festival 2011 has kick started in earnest. The eligibility period (final day of the submission) closed on Friday the 14 of January 2011.
Though the nominations will not be announced unless it has been categorized to its final nominations, GhanaCelebrities.com has come up with our predicted nominations for the various categories.
In this year’s awards, all musical works produced and or released from December 1, 2009 – November 30, 2010 were presented to the GMA Academy for consideration.
As an industry player, what I have below is exactly what I filled in the Nominations Form (You can only disagree).
Accusations and counter accusations, backbiting, insults and misunderstanding have always characterized the awards. For these same reasons, I see this year as no different.
The categorization process will always be with problems. Musicians are confused as to what type of genre of music they do. Others also have problems as when and how they release their albums.
Various people including “Opanin” have been asking GhanaCelebrities.Com what caused the 2 year ban imposed on Ghanaian veteran Actors Kofi Adjorlolo and Ekow Smith Asante by the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG).
To ascertain what led to the ban of the above mentioned actors, I made a phone call a few minutes ago to Socrate Sarfo, the PR of FIPAG for clarifications on the issue.
According Socrate Sarfo and as most people may know, under ECOWAS which seeks to achieve free movement of people and trade between its member states, any national of ECOWAS can visit Ghana for a limited time to engage in trading enterprises.
THE Ghana Music Awards Planning Committee/Academy has successfully met for the first time to draw up the timetable for the 2011 edition of the prestigious awards scheme.
The Planning Committee members, made up of seasoned industry professionals, are expected to bring their wealth of knowledge in the Ghanaian music industry to bear on the detailed administration of the scheme. The Committee works diligently and dispassionately to ensure that award winners truly deserve awards devoid of any interference.

The Committee member list is completed by Juno Abena Turkson, Theresa Ayoade and Nii Ayite Hammond who represent the organizers, Charterhouse.
I’m sure the majority of us do not need the assistance of a magnifying glass to help us determine which Ghanaian celebrity has the sexiest figure; each of us has our own personal assumptions on what is hot and what is not.
In one of my previous articles (published on December 30th 2010), I posed a question to you guys regarding which Ghanaian celebrity you perceived to have the sexiest figure.
After much analysis and debating, listed below are the names of the most popular answers (in order) as chosen by you guys:
Being of African heritage, getting smacked whilst I was growing up was nothing new or particularly shocking either. Having friends from all over Africa, and the Caribbean islands, also enabled me to realise that smacking a child was not solely an African practice.
One of the funniest memories I have of high school was when “me and my Black friends” were discussing the different methods that our parents used to discipline us as youngsters; the expressions on the faces of our White friends spoke a thousand words- it was a mixture of shock, horror and pure sympathy.
Whilst all the Black kids in our group- myself included- wholeheartedly agreed that being smacked as youngsters was the best method of discipline our parents gave us, our White friends were of the assumption that this amounted to some form of child abuse.
A New Year is here and I am certainly sure that most of us have surrounded ourselves with rules and plans as part of the New Year’s resolution in order to help us realize our goals and achieve the success we deserve.
It is perfectly right and admirable as human beings to have regular reflection and planning exercises, via which we examine, scrutinize and carefully analyse the steps we have taken and the yet to be taken in the light of whether they have helped or would help in achieving the success we desire in life.
As we engage in the above, one thing we should make a prime concern and influence it to the greatest altitude is our desire for success. We all have a desire to achieve a lot, but “Is our desire for success greater than our fear of failure?”
A successful or would be successful individual has a much greater desire for success compare to his fear of failure. On no certain term would any person be able to achieve the success he desires without stepping out to take up the work needed to be done and the risk needed to be embraced.
Following on from our previous ‘Fashion & Lifestyle’ interview special featuring model, Ashanti Ameyaw, it is now the turn of another rising star in the Ghanaian modelling industry to take centre stage- step forward, Sermira Adams.

Sermira: This lady use see here is an easy going person, fun loving, hardworking, and determined person. GhanaCelebrities.Com: When did you first decide that you want to be a model?
Sermira: It was when I came out of the Miss Malaika pageant; I was actually the first to be evicted. So when that happened, I got the opportunity to model for Canon Magazine. That really gave me the confidence and platform to be where I am now.
