While actress/TV personality-Ama K Abebrese was sharing make-up free photos and her natural hair on social media this week, at the other part of town, Yvonne Okoro was flaunting her almost floor sweeping weave—the choices we make!
TV presenter Sandra Ankobiah seems to be feeling her body as she wore a bikini and posed for the camera far away in Greece. And she wanted us to see the photos so she shared them…
Check below for some hot shots from Nadia Buari, Jackie Appiah, John Dumelo and the others…
Our Ghanaian Celebrities continue to share their daily activities in photos on social media—and we have some interesting photos from your favourite celebrities for you.
Jackie Appiah is looking great and Martha Ankomah is not looking bad either.
Nadia Buari, Nikki Samonas and Christabel Ekeh have also been doing their own photos things…
Nikki Samonas is one of the many actresses who could not actually stand out in the industry. Even at a time opportunity and extra attention were given to people of her colour, she still struggled remain relevant…
She is still pressing hard, hoping for that role which will throw the needed light on her career—and then she can become a true star!
I was sent a link to a Hollywood Reporter article which looked at how Hollywood is struggling to find the next Denzel Washington (a major black movie star), now that Denzel is being faded out as a result of old age.
I couldn’t miss the connection and the fact that the Ghanaian Movie Industry is somewhat in the same pickle, although caused by a different element. While Denzel Washington, 59 is at the edge of dropping from the big roles as the only standing black actor due to old age, Will Smith, 45 and Eddie Murphy, 53 cannot be said to be perfect stand-in candidates considering their ages too, the article noted.
Jackie Appiah and Denzel Washington may not have anything in common, except that they can both call themselves actors—even with that, one acts for a third world movie industry which struggles to sell its movies to its own people, while the other is a box office champion with an undisputed international status.
The truth is; Jackie Appiah has held the Ghanaian Movie Industry together with her face and acting (even if we find her acting substandard) for many years—and calling her the true face of the contemporary Ghana Movie Industry would not be a far-fetched rank. Perhaps, she is the most bankable Ghanaian actress—even as of today.
I do not have the exact total number of awards she has to her name but I am yet to meet anyone who will disagree with me that she holds more awards than that of any two of her colleagues put together. She has done it all—-from the strict VCD days to the booming era of movie premieres that took over the capital cities, Jackie Appiah was the poster girl.
There was a time most film-makers couldn’t imagine taking the risk of shooting a movie without having her as their lead—not simply because she was exceptionally good but because, she brought in the sales and having her face on your movie guaranteed a smile to the bank.
Though she could not score any great point with her brand, she remains the strongest, well-kept and untainted Ghanaian Movie star brand we’ve seen in recent times—and she has enjoyed the spark of glamour more than even those who rejuvenated the industry she later became part of…
Actress Jackie Appiah wants us to know she can look good in uniform too, so she shared a photo from a movie set, looking really confused by the blackboard.
The above photo reminds me of those days when called to the board to solve a complex mathematics question that you have no idea about—with your boyfriend seated among the students behind you. LOL
Check below for photos from Ama K Abebrese, John Dumelo, Itz Tiffany, Efya and others…
If you have never seen Jackie Appiah rocking a skirt—and showing off her legs, we have a photo she shared this week, doing exactly this…We are waiting for the star actress to hit us with one great movie performance this year as it’s been a long since we got that from her.
Yvonne Okoro must have splashed some money on a long weave so she took a photo, showing us her new investment. Interestingly, the Brazilian hair is losing its market to Cambodian hair…
Check below for photos from Yvonne Nelson, John Dumelo, Eazzy, Sarkodie and the others…
Ahead of the 2014 BET Awards, an International Talent Reception party was held last night in LA for the nominees—and Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari was out there. Wearing a white jumpsuit, Nadia Buari posed with Samini and the others for photos.
Even if you do not like Jackie Appiah for her excellent acting and enviable charisma, I am sure you will adore her for the fact that she celebrates being black—in the face of many African celebrities bleaching their butts… The star actress is currently in Brazil as an official World Cup Ambassador appointed by Ghana’s … Read more
Star actress-Jackie Appiah is becoming more and more of a delight to watch—I mean her chest seems to be recently going wild out and we love that… I am not sure what is going on but she seems to have changed her upper style of doing things.
Last night, Bola Ray, Kafui Danku, Ama K Abebrese and several other Ghanaians were awarded at the 2014 City People Entertainment Awards in Nigeria, and they shared some photos.
With about an hour to go for Ghana to take on Germany, an important game which will determine if Ghana will qualify to go to the next stage of the 2014 World Cup, three of our Ghanaian ambassadors have shared photos—wearing the Ghanaian national colours.
Jackie Appiah for the first time in Brazil has clothed herself with red, gold and green—and Becca is looking very energetic.
John Dumelo seems to supporting both Ghana and Nigeria today, wearing what seems like a Nigerian flag pant while holding a Ghanaian flag…
As a chosen Ambassador by the Ghana’s government, Jackie Appiah is currently in Brazil, rocking some fine braids and expected to ‘rally support’ for the Black Stars…
For the last few days, she has been active on social media, sharing photos of what she has been wearing out there and the fans she has been meeting. We are yet to see her wear a full red, gold and green though.
Ama K. Abeberse is back with a nice African print—and as usual, the style is a must steal for those who love their African prints.
And Eazzy says she is not bleaching which we have to believe her but a below photo of herself with Keitta doesn’t do justice to her claim…
Ghanaian actress-Jackie Appiah is currently in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup–as one of the many celebrity World Cup ambassadors selected by Ghana’s Ministry of Sports…
Though their roles as ambassadors were not really defined for us and we have little information as to what these ambassadors are doing out there in Brazil, we are glad to see Jackie Appiah rocking a neat braid—telling the Brazilians that we don’t always depend on Brazilian hair…LOL.
Juliet Ibrahim decided to keep it casual and give her bum some room to stand out this morning…
I wouldn’t waste your time explaining to you who a celebrity is, because in our part of the world, anyone who appears on TV is placed into the shinning star box of celebrities. Even at the international front, being a celebrity today does not have any sort of real correlation with ‘to celebrate’.
But one thing both the deserving and worthy celebrity title holders in the West have in common is; they understand what being a celebrity is about—at least most of them do. It is about fame, it is about trading a huge percent of your privacy for silly things like red carpet appearances and turning yourself into a news punching bag so that the blogs, the tabloids and the newspapers can attack you from all angles. The Court even accepts this—to some greater extent.
The reality of life is that, you do not gain anything without having to give away something and the Western celebrities perfectly understand and embrace this.
The whole celebrity lifestyle and pop culture is alien to us but we love the West more than ourselves, so we’ve all bought into it, and since we even copy things of less substance from the West, this seems far better in value to be copied.
However, our celebrities and those who desperately want to wear the celebrity crown do not understand the relationship between a celebrity, the fans and the media. They want to become celebrities—in fact they believe they are but have no clue what the lifestyle entails.
I wouldn’t want to say they are ignorant because that does not capture it all, some are plainly stupid without any understanding of what part of their lifestyles people are keenly interested in…
No one really cares about Jackie Appiah’s Charity works, though we may pay occasional attention to that. Unfortunately, we are more interested in who she is ‘chopping down’ at night than which church she attends on Sundays.
In the world of celebrities, the only valuable news to the media and even the fans centre on what these celebrities do not want the public to know. There has always been an increasing tension of hide and seek between celebrities and the media and it will forever remain this way.
Can you imagine how far the kick-boxing between Solanage and Jay-Z travelled? My mother who does not even know who the heck Solange is had the ‘beat down’ footage on her phone. I am sure Solange does a lot of charity work and good things in this world but the media and even the real fans do not really care. Nothing Solange has done under the sun has gotten such attention before…
It looks like we will be seeing more of our Ghanaian female celebrities living their dreams in movies this year—getting that white wedding but in a movie.
We’ve put together some recent photos of Jackie Appiah, Joselyn Dumas, Yvonne Okoro and Christabel from movie sets where they play brides and we want to know this; who is that perfect looking bride?
Interestingly, all these women will want this in real life—and we pray they get that soon. At least until it happens, their careers allow them to live their dream for few minutes…
But among them all, I think Christabel Ekeh will get a white wedding first—in real life!
