Over the last few years, an emerging trend within the Ghanaian movie industry has been the explicit use of light- skinned actors, over those of with a dark- skinned complexion. The majority of recently released Ghollywood films have featured actors and actresses with light complexions in the leading roles, regardless of their acting credentials, and experience.
The Ghanaian or African movie industry as a whole is plagued with the same old faces; new promising talents are not given the prospect of exhibiting their hidden talents.
One of such talent is a lady who is filled with hidden talent up her sleeves and set to give producers reasons to have a second thought as to whom they contact to feature in their movies when she is around, that actress is Yvonne Okoro who is gradually warming herself into the hearts of movie lovers.
Not only is Yvonne beautiful, she has the talent, a good sense of humour, down to earth and a delight to watch on screen. Before she was contracted to play Ciara in the movie ‘Beyonce’ after the facial reconstructive surgery of Jackie Appiah, actress Yvonne Okoro has since been part of few movies.
Let’s get this going, I have been thinking of an interactive column to answer the various questions that come through to me. So many articles and features up on this site so I decided to get this new column called “Celebrity Spy” into a video section.
Got the first recording done early this morning after being up all night working on some other articles. This is the first shoot and I am only asking for your honest criticisms for improvement.Remember this is a “raw” shoot and it is for the purpose of entertainment.
The documentary ‘Zoom Zoom’ – The Professor did not only attract sports personalities, it also got the attention of some entertainment personalities. Actress Nadia Buari and Ama K. Abebrese were among the celebrities to donate to the Azumah Nelson Foundation last Saturday at the Silverbird Cinema in Accra.
The MC of the night Ama K. Abebrese who is casted to feature in the movie ‘Sinking Sands’ by Leila Djansi, the director of the hit movie ‘I Sing of a Well’ kicked off the donation train by giving out 1,000 Ghana Cedis. ‘Check Mate’ actress Nadia Buari also gave 1,500 Ghana Cedis.
Below is a photo of some of the hottest Ghanaian actresses at the beach. Can you name these girls and mention who do you think has the legs and the beach fab?
Last Saturday at the Silverbird Cinema in Accra, well wishers were taken down memory lane as they remembered staying up late in those days to watch Azumah Nelson do what he knows how to do best in the boxing ring; which is beating people. The legendary boxer Azumah Nelson was celebrated. Born in Bukom, Accra in 1958, Azumah Nelson was WBC World Champion for over a decade and was arguably the greatest boxer to come out of Africa.
How the years fly when you are not counting! That was what went through my mind when I watched the Ghana Music Awards (GMA) on television last weekend.
The style of music was different from what it used to be when live music performances, complete with instrumentalists, were in vogue.
It looks like these days nobody cares about musical arrangements, melody and others anymore.
Gone are the days of the Entertainment Critics and Reviewers Association of Ghana (ECRAG), later renamed Arts Critics and Reviewers Association of Ghana (ACRAG), whose awards were based on solid professionalism.
Shirley Frimpong-Manso has expressed her concern about how the government has shown no support for the Ghanaian movie industry. She complained that even though the act of filmmaking is financially draining, the government has turned a deaf ear to all the problems filmmakers are facing in the country.
The Ghanaian movie producer/writer/director who won the ‘Director of the Year’ award at the 2010 African Movie Academy Awards held recently in Nigeria described the problem as a ‘big shame’ on the part of the government.
When we spoke to Mzbel last weekend, she promised to chip us some exclusive photos for her fans and admirers worldwide. We got the photos today from Mzbel when we met her at IPMC, Ring road, Accra. The “Saucy girl” was looking good and refreshing. Anyway, enjoy the exclusive photos below.

Popular Ghanaian Highlife singer, King David of “Ayefe Notse” fame, is one of the numerous stars who suffered under the appalling behaviour of some security personnel at the just ended Ghana Music Awards, held at the Accra International Conference Center, last Saturday, April 10.
One of Ghana’s reggae artistes, Shasha Marley, has once again proven that he is a force to reckon with in Africa as far as reggae music is concerned.
This he did by emerging the Best African Reggae Artiste of The Year at the KORA All Africa Music Awards held in Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso, on Easter Sunday.
The event, which attracted over 3,000 showbiz personalities from various African countries, was hosted by the President of Burkina Faso, Blaise Compaore, at the plush Palaise De Sports in Ouagadougo.
Artistes from 24 African countries took part in the competition which was judged through a share of public and jury votes.
